IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.

Copy of a Nate from the Plenirotentiaries of his
;%lajesty the King of NAPLES* to I.old CASTLELIEACII :
" VIENNA, FEILSUARY Ho 1815.

44 The undersigned Ministers, Pienipotentiaries of
his Maksty the King of Naples, have had the honour
of addressing to his Lxcellency my Lord Viscount
Castlereagh, Principal Secretary of State of his Bri-
tannic Majesty, for Foreign Affairs, an official Note,
dated the 49th December last, soliciting the conclu-
sion of the definitive peace between the Crowns of
Naples and Great Britain.
44 His Excellency, my Lord Castlereagh, was so
good as to assure the undersigned first Plenipoten-
tiary of his Neapolitan Majesty, that he would occetpy
himself with the object .f that Note. It has never-
theless remained to this day without any result.

" Although the King cannot but be keenly afrect-
ed by this silence, from the eagerness with which he
is desirous of entering into more intimate relations
with England, he has too much dependence on J.
sincerity and justice of the English Government, to
allow him to doubt for a moment of its fidelity in
fulfilling the engagements which it has contracted
towards him.

" if all those reasons which the undersigned urge,l
in their note of the 29,h December last, required In
be cortobcrated by others still more powerful, they
m;ght recal to his F.ltceilency my Lord Castlereagh,
ttte Convention whit It he proposed at Troyes, wit!)
:tie titre at' e • principal coal,lsced Powers, by which
the Britannic Government, recognising the politic .l
eListence of th,.. King of Naples, solicited an indeni-
iety in iavour of the King of Sicily, as an iudernall;-
k for the kingdom rut
44. la k (1)3t41, and Prussia adhered by separP.to
acts of accession, stipulated at 'Troyes, the 15th Fe-
bruary, 1814,, to that Convention, which has irreva-
cab), comertl,led the princirle of the political Exibt-
elice 4'; the King of 11,4plei.
It belonged next to ti.e Powers, in whose hands
were all the disp..s,ibie countries conquered from the
.enemy, to find and to pioportion the indemnity to be
given to the King of Sicily.
1-lis Neapolitan Majesty could concur no other-
wise in this than by his good offices, and lie has ful-
filled on this point the engagements which he con-
tracted by his Treaty of Alliance of the llthJanuary,
1814, the undersigned having declared by the note
which they haie had the honour of addressing to his
Excellency my Lord Castlereagh, under date of tile
29th Dt•centber last, that they were ready to concur
in the arrangements which might be proposed for
. .
that effect. •

" Thus, under whatever point of view the Britan-
nic Government wishes to view its position with, re-
p:4o icisthe King of Naples, •it can only considcr xs
just and reasonable the demand which the tinder-
. .

signed are charged with reiterating to his Excellency,
my, Lord Castlereagh, of proceeding to the prompt
conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Peace between
the two Crowns.
" No person can be better qualified than my Lord
Castlereagh to enlighten the English Government
with respect to the affairs of Naples. Having con-
curred in the negotiation which preceded and which
followed the accession of his Neapolitan Majesty to
the Coalition, he was the organ of the engagements
entered into by the English Government towards the
Court of Naples, and his character for justice and
probity is too well known to allow the undersigned
to suppose that his political conduct will vary in any
manner, :yid they are certain that he will support in
London the engagements which be contracted in the
name of his Government towards the King of
pies, as well as the promises and verbal dccl:►ratirn;s
made by him during the last campaign of the
coalesced armies, and principally at Chaumont and
Dijon.
" The undersigned beseech his Excellency, my
Lord Castlereagh, to accept the assurances of their
very high consideration.
(Signed) " The Duke de CAMPOCIIIAItO.
" The Prince de C,uual•t "
