!INTAPLEi, SEPT. s.—The GIORNALE .CONSTI-
TIJIONALE of the kingdom of the TWo Sicilies
gives the names.of 15 persons elected as Deputies
to the Cortes. The chief of them are His Emi-
nence Cardinal Giuseppe Firao Alexander Be-
gani,:Major-General ; Chevalier Melchiorre,id-
vocate ;',Alessio Pellicio, secular priest; Cheva-
Her Illatteo Galde ; Ferdinand V isconte, Colonel ;
and Tito Berrie, advocate.' With the expedition
which set sail for'Sicity on Saturday last, Lieu-
tenant-General Florestano Pepe,. the brother of
the General-in-Chief, embarked. General Flo-
restano,Pepe is nominated General-Commandant
of the Neapolitan army in the dominions beyond
the Faro. This General fought Long in Spain
and in -the North. In the war of Spain fie gained
the 'Cross of the Legion of Hon Our in the breach
of Tarragona, heading a.. column of Frenchmen.
He was-then in .the staff of the Marshal Duke of
Albufera. He acted at the siege of Valencia
with the Neapolitan troops, and was appointed
to escort to Paris the Captain-General Blake,
who was made a prisoner in that campaign. In
the retreat from Moscow he, commanded the bri-
gade. of two regiments of Neapolitan cavalry,
who saved the Emperor near \Vilna. In that
retreat 'General Pepe, with the two Colonels,
the Doke of Roccaromano and the .Prince of
Campana, gave, proofs of extraordinary bravery,
although:they suffered much from the intense
frost. General Pepe afterwards shut himself up
in Dautzic ; and, though not recovered in 'his
health, served with singular activity and intelli-
gence with the 'French, who at that ,time bore
honourable testimony to the .brave. Neapolitan
troops, who showed themselves worthy of the
praises of the noble and intrepid General Rapp,
whO commanded them. • The, Gioriutle Conslitu-
tionale contains 'five Royal ordinances, issued by
the Duke of Calabria, the Hereditary Prince and
Vicar-General 'of the kingdOm. The principal
articles of them are as follow
FERDINAND 1., 14 the Grace of God, King of the Two Ski-.
lies, of Jerusalem, &c. &c.—We, Francis, Duke of Calabria,
Hereditary Prince and Vicar-Generali considering the ne-
cessity of giving to the National Army an imposing attitude in
order to make the independence of the nation respectd : •
liming seen that by the ordinary conscription there cannot
be obtained the noble object of raising in an instant au ex-
' perienced Army :
Considering that the kingdom is not deficient in brave
soldiers, who, in the last war, have left behind them in foreign
countries an admiration of their courage and intrepidity; and
that the recall of those brave men under their standards
wonld show how strong is the sentiment among an energetic
people; and lastly, considering that the demand for extraor-
dinary services front these gallant men should be followed by
a liberal provisi4n fur their familks from the nation, we
have bt en pleased, by the advice of the Provisional Junta, to
decree as follows:
I. All thoSe are called into'active service who entered the
army posterior to 1806, and who are not past folly years of
age.
