somewhat obsente—gg Though particular relations
and motives hindered the British Government from

partaking in the harsher resolutions of the other
Courts." What was there particalar in the rela-
tions" and motives mentioned is the note of Lord
CASTLZREAGH ? 'OR the contrary; the grounds upon
which the British Government withheld its sanction
were drawn from the established international law,
and the rights, ethical and political, of allindependent
nations. From the word "harsher," we should sup-
pose that some intermediate and moderate mode of
adjustment had been discussed with the sanction of
the British Minister, but failed of effect.
France too, it seems, has only consented to the
spoliation gg under certain conditions ;"• but what
these conditions are we are not told.
The Declaration concludes with a magnanimous
intimation, that if the Neapolitans should happen to
beat the Austrians (which Goa grant they may), the
Emperor of RUSSIA has a force in reserve which he
will bring to the assistance of his brother Emperor.
It is some graiification to reflect that, while the
grand Alliance consists of the five great Powers of
Europe, three being despotic governments, resting
upon the discretion or the caprices of individual men,
and two being administered under the controul of
Representative Bodies, the two latter have not dared
to plunge openly and unblushingly into an act of
violence and crime, not equalled in all its circum-
stances of unjustifiable aggression by any event that
history has recorded, but has left it, with all its
infamy, on the heads of those military despots, whose
destinies have, in their vain conceits, placed them
beyond all responsibility; and who are too much
swollen with the possession of power not to brave
the opinion of the present age, and to despise the
reproach and hatred of posterity.

An extraordinary courier has arrived in town from
Naples, which he left on the Ilth instant. He has
collected letters from the different cities through
which he passed. The advance of the Austrian army
had caused a difficulty in procuring the means of
conveyance, which retarded the courier's journey.—
The information he brings is, nevertheless, more re-
cent than any which has vet reached this country ;
and is indeed of the most interesting nature. It ap-
pears that the ultimatum of the Allies, which, though
different in some details, was the same in effect with
the account of it which we gave yesterday, produced
such an instant feeling of indignation in the Neapolitan
Parliament, that before the Duke DE GALLO could
conclude the reading of it, he was interrupted by a
general acclamation of " War! War! War!" Nor
is the energy of the Neapolitans confined to language.
From the extracts which we hasten to subjoin, our
Readers will see, that in their military movements
they have g6t the start of the Austrians, and were
likely to be in occupation of Rome by the I.sth inst.
while the enemy could not reach it before the 26th :
" NAPLES, FEB. 11.

" The Duke de Gallo arrived on the 9th• with the
ultimatum of the Allied Sovereigns. On the outside
of the city gate he entered his private carriage, and
proceeded immediately to the Parliament, who, ac 7
cording to instructions previously given by bins, were
already assembled.. Before he etwld finish reading
the ultimatum of the Congress of Laybach, be was
interrupted by reiterated cries of I War! War! War!'
from all parts of the Assembly. 1 have not seen a
copy of the ultimatum, but learn that the following
are the principal points contained in it:
" 1. That the Neapolitans shall abandon the Spanish
Constitution, and adopt that of the British Nation, with
some corrections and modifications suitable to Naples.
" 2. That during the period while this re-organiza-
tion shall be effecting, and for six years afterwards,
the Capital of the Kingdom of the Two Si ciliss, and all
the fortresses, shall be rccupied by Austrian garrisons
