KINGDOM.OF NAPLES.

Accounts horn Naples state, that considerable in-
dignation was felt at the endeavours reported to
have been made by Sir WILLIAM A'Cotrar, to in-
duce the Royal Family to go on board the English
squadron. It was believed that, could the KING
have beers alkstractid, persuasions would have been
'employed to induce his MAJESTY to issue a Decla-
' ration, declaring the people in a state of rebellion.
This, no doubt, would have proved highly accept-
' able to the Holy Alliance, who, the Neapolitans
think, are only Waiting for some plausible pretext to
attaelc.them. In-this; however, the Neapolitans are
mistaken. The Holy Allies are not waiting for a pre-
text, but only till.they are prepared for the enterprise.
Will this country, in such an event, take a part in
the contest? If what has been stated respecting the
invitation to the King of NAPLES to go on board the
British squadron be true, we can be at no loss to
discover. what the inclinations of our Ministers are
on that subject. It will be seen from one of the
subjcined letters, that Lord SrEwara may be said to
be at this moment rather a resident at Troppau than
at Vienna, a circumstance which.seems to connect
this Gove:nment with the proceedings of the Con-
gress at that place more closely than can ever prove
beneicial to this country.
Official accounts have, we understand, beenre-
ceived in town from Naples, to thel6th instant. Of
course they are State sect.e'Ls, bat it has transpired
that they announce that orders had been given to the
Neapolitan troops to pass the frontier of the Abruzzi
and occupy part of the Papal territories, iri conse-
quence of certain intelligence of the advance of the
Austrians on Ancona. It is exceedingly possible that
this may be held an auspicious omen by the enemies
of Liberty: The Neapolitans will be held to have com-
menced unprovoked hostilities against their neigh-
bours; and the necessity of suppressing " Revolu-
tionary Usurpation," will be loudly proclaimed; for
with exclusively Legitimate Rulers there is never
any difficulty in proving, that no community should
ever take measures for self preservation, till the half
of the people have had their brains beat out by those
who are holily leagued together for their destruction I
Let us.hope that the Neapolitans, as well as the Spa-
niards and Portuguese, will shew themselves worthy
of freedom. We doubt not that they will, and we
heartily wish that every device that may be contrived
at Troppau, which may have for its object the en:
slaving of the Nations in the trammels of Despotism
(if it be possible that Holy Allies, assisted too by a
British Minister, can engage in such diabolical pro-
jects), may be frustrated, to the shame and confusion
of the devisers.

Some accounts which have reached us thii morn-
ing, stand in such close connexion with the affairs of
Naples that we shall here give them a place:

TURIN, NOVEMBER 17.
The army which the Neapolitan Government has
assembled ,in the Abruzzi, consists of thirty bat-
talions of infantry of the line, sixteen squadrons of
heavy and light cavalry, and a park of artillery of
fifty pieces. All these troops, which compose the
flower of the Neapolitan army, will form the ad-
vanced corps► In Calabria about 10,000 light infan-
try are assembled, besides several companies of vo-
lunteers. A corps of between 18 and 20,000 men,
infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which has been re-
cently reviewed by the Prince Vicar General, has
also marched from the capital towards the frontiers.
—We are assured, that when the whole army is
united, his Royal Highness will take the command
in chief, and that he will have under his orders Lieu-
tenant-Generals Guillaume Pepe, Filangieri, and
Florcstan Pepe. The command of the Neapolitan
troops which remain in Sicily, is confided to Lieu-
tenant-General Coletta.
A report prevails, that the grand head-quarters of
the Austrian Army, which are now at Treviso, will
be immediately transferred to Ferrara.
Many persons still doubt whether war will take
place. They rest their conjectures on the circum-
stance of the Sovereigns at Troppau having, as is ge-
nerally understood, sent a Courier with dispatches
to the 'King of Naples. It is not expected, at all
events, that hostilities can commence until time is
given to his Neapolitan Majesty to give a categorical
answer. The marches and counter-marches, there-
fore, which the Austrian troops are daily making,
can only be considered as simple demonstrations.
VIENNA, NOVEMBER 17.

Lord Stewart multiplies his visits from Troppau to
this capital. We see this British Ambassador towards
the end of every week. The Ministers assembled at
Troppau appear to be very much occupied.
The Emperor Alexander has lately received dis-
patches extraordinary from St. Petersburgh. Prince
Metternich, Minister of Foreign Affairs to Austria,
has, on the other hand, dispatched from Troppau a
courier to the King of Bavaria, with a very im-
portant communication.
Our'preparations for war are pursued with much
celerity ; the correspondence of the Aulic Council
with Milan is very active.
The greatest secrecy is preserved as to the conferp
ences between the Sovereigns. They dine almost
daily together, and assemble again in the evening,-a
The deliberations may probably 13ct till the middle
of next month. There is a rumour of transferring
the place of meeting to 01rnutx or Vienna, on ac-

count of the difficulty experienced in obtaining, at
Troppau, proper Uccommodation for the numerous
persons in the suite of their Majesties.
FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 2s.
We are still positively assured, that a second army
of 80,000 men will be formed on the Adige, and
will serve as a reserve when the first advances.
General Bianchi (created Duke de Casalanza, by
Ferdinand of Naples) has refused, it is said, from
motives of delicacy and gratitude, to take the com-
mand of the Army of Expedition. Public opinion
gives it to General Frimont, under the orders of the
Archduke Ferdinand d'Este.
The Note addressed by Count Capo d'lstria to the
other Ministers, on the changes which have taken
*place in the three countries of the South of Europe,
is conceived, it is said, in a very pacific spirit.

SPAIN.
MADRID, NOVEMBER 16.
The KING still remains at the Escurial, enjoying
the best health.
The Permanent Committee Of the Cortes has been
installed since the 10th of this month.

...
Letters from Avila state, that several columns of
troops have gone in plusuit of MORALES, who is di-
recting his flight towards the Portuguese frontiers.—
The measures taken are such, that the rebel will find
some difficulty in escaping.
The Archbishop of VALENCIA, accused of having_
caused the stone of the Constitution to be thrown
down, has been conducted, under a strong escort, to the
:liaison des Ecoles Pieuses. It remains with the KING
to decide on the fate of this Prelate. We are assured
that the Ministers have already given their opinion
respecting him.
The Permanent Committee have written to the
Ministry, for a detailed Report of the state of the
Kingdom.
The KING has filled up all the vacant places in
the Council of State, by the Bishop of SEGORBE, the
Duke de FRIAs, the Marquis de VILLA FRANCA, D.
.GASPAR `''!GOOEY, and D. FRANCISCO BALLASTEROS.

[These nominations are all in the popular interest,
and have been made in consequence Of the )lemon•
strance to the KING, noticed in the following passage :]

NOVEMBER 18.—An Address was sent yesterday
from the Municipal Deputation of MAdrid to the
KING, demanding, as " the only *means of saving
the State at the present cri'sis, a -Convocation Ex-
traordinary of the COrtes." " The absence," it was
added, " of your MAJESTY has occasioned fears,
which are aggravated by the Isominalion to
tinguished employments of men' notoriously hostile
to the Constitutional system which your MAJESTY
has sworn to observe, and which we are ready
to defend with the last drop of our blood. We are
compelled, Sire, to say, that without some such
public manifestation of adhesion to the new institu-
tions, as will deprive the bitterest of their enemies of
all hope, confidence cannot be re-established: Every
other measure willle illusory, and the vessel of the
State will be in danger of shipwreck."
The Avila conspiracy has entirely failed, but Va-

lencia has been the theatre of serious troubles on ac-
count of some outrages committed towards the pillar
of the Constitution. The people blamed the Monks,
and even the Archbishop, whose Palace they me-
naced ; but this Prelate, who had already an order of
exile, was just on the point of setting off, and suc-
ceeded in escaping. He goes to Rome. The people
demand, with loud cries, General Elio, who is still
detained in the citadel.
NOVEMBER 19.

The King has promised to return immediately to
the capital. The most perfect order at present pre-
♦ails. It is not thought that the Extraordinary
Cortes will be convoked.
In the Public Sitting which the Permanent Com-
mittee of the Congress held on the 16th November,
they declared that they did not find themselves in
any of the situations in which such convocation is
provided for by the Constitution.
The Government has published the Decree of the
Cortes, sanctioned by the King; which declares the
Spanish territory an inviolable asylum for all persons,
and property of every description belonging to fo-
reigners, whether they reside in the kingdom or out of
it, under the condition that they shall respect the
Monarchy, -and submit, to its laws.
The Permanent Committee have named for their
President, M. MUNOZ TORREO, Deputy from Estre-
madura.
