this Declaration there are a multitude of conjecture',
but nothing is yet positively knownavonthesubjew.."
The pacttic indications in the above articles receive
a considerable degree of contradiction from the
Vienna intelligence dated-the 18th ult. in the Gazette
dt•FranotNof Thursday, which,. alluding to the de-
claration of the Allied Sovereigns mentioned from
Augsburg as having been sent to Naples, asserts it
to state, that
The Allied Sovereigns cannot recognise the
Constitution which has been imposed upon the King,
but that it will be entirely free to his Majesty to give
to his people such a Constitution as he may deem
proper, provided that it be e,tahlished upon the same
bases that have been adopted for the organization of
the Austrian States in Italy. -It is added, that should
this declaration not be sufficient to produce the de-
sired changes in Naples, a manifesto of the Sovereigns
will be published at the moment of the entrance of
the Austrian troops in the Neapolitan territory."—lf
this version of the declaration of the Allies at Trop-
pau is to be relied upon, it can scarcely be anticipated
that the Neapolitans will submit to a dictation so ty-
rannical, and war of course must be the result.
The accounts from Naples direct of the 14th ult.
afford no clue to the state of the foreign relations of
the Neapolitan Government. The discussions in the
Parliament were chiefly confined to general questions
of policy ; all matters of immediate importance being
referred to Secret Committees. An answer had been
received from the Papal Government to the note of
the Neapolitan Minister for Foreign Affairs, relative
to the expected entrance of Austrian troops into the
Roman States, expressing that the Pope was sensible
of the kindness which had dictated the communica-
tion ; and stating, that his Holiness would employ
every means in his power to prevent such an event
from taking place. The new Expedition under Ge-
neral Coletta had arrived at Palermo, and General
Florestan Pepe had returned from thence to Naples.
Palermo, it is asserted, continued in a state of tran-
quillity. The Prince de Castelcicala, it appears, is
no longer considered by the Government at Naples as
the Neapolitan Ambassador at Paris.

the Cortes, and the generous condescension of die
Monarch, which united, promise the speedy consoli-
dation of the reign of liberty, of happiness so for-
tunately re-established. We should Ira properly
finish this account, if we did not pay to the meritori-
ous garrison of Madrid, to the excellent National
Militia, and to the heroic pOpulation of this capital,
the tribute of respect due to their sublime patriotic
virtue, and to their ardent zeal for the preservation
of the charter of our rights, the august bulwarks of
our liberties, and the sure guarantee of our glory and
our repose. Couriers were dispatched to foreign
countries last night with accounts of these transactions.

MADRID, NOVEMBER 19.
It is affirmed that his Majesty will return by this
capital on the 22d cr 23d. To the mistrust and
anxiety which prevailed for a few days, have suc-
ceeded since yesterday the most complete tranquillity
and the pure-1 satisfaction, which we observe with
pleasure among all classes of the inhabitants.
A notice has been published, communicated to the
Alcalde of Penaranda m the Political Chief of Avila,
in which, referring to a letter from Ciudad Rodrigo
of the 13th, he announces the-capture of :Morales and
his companions, which took place at Alfayate, a place
in the Kingdom of Portugal, two leagues from the
frontiers. The Spanish troops surrounded the place
where the rebels were, and took them, except Mo-
rales and a Captain, who escaped, but were after-
wards taken by the Portuguese, and were conducted
to Almeida, where they now are. The rest are sent
with a strong escort to Placentia. The only acci•
dent that occurred was, that our troops killed a Por-
tuguese, mistaking him for one of the rebels. The
persons taken are 14 in number and 11 horses.
VALENCIA, NOVEMBER 14.
The Archbishop still remains confined in the Es-
cuela Pia. Some dispatcheei were received yesterday,
supposed to relate to him, but their contents have
not transpired. The citizens are very impatient to
learn what will be the fate of the Prelate.
CADIZ, NOVEMBER 9.
The Board of Health has ordered the sanatory lists
to cease, there being no reason, from the state of the
public health, to continue them.

According to accounts received yesterday, the
Allied Sovereigns at Troppau have unanimously de-
clared their desire that the former order of things
may be re-established at Naples, and that they will
consider as enemies of general tranquillity all who
may contribute to prolong " the existing disorders."
The same accounts state, that a courier has been sent
to Naples with dispatches, announcing that the Allies
will not acknowledge the Constitution imposed upon
the Kum; but that his MAJESTY will be left at liberty
to give to his people any Constitution which he may
think proper, provided it be founded on the same
basis as that adopted for the organization of the Aus-
trian States in Italy. If this declaration does not
prove sufficient to produce the revolution required at
Naples, a manifesto is to be published by the Allied
Sovereigns, when the Austrian troops shall set foot
on the Neapolitan territory.
To say that the King of NAPLES shall be at liberty
to give any Constitution which he may please to his
people, and then to.add that it must be founded on I
the same basis as that of the Austrian States in
Italy, is to add mockery to injustice. If the threats
of the Allied Sovereigns be carried into effect, in-
stead of vindicating, they will be the first to violate
and degrade the independence and dignity of the
Royal Power.
The tone of the Neapolitan Press is, as it ought to
be, bold and independent. It is estimated that an
Austrian invading army would call forth an- op-
posing force of 150,000 men: such is the diffusion
of the public spirit in the cause of liberty :—But the
most important document which has reached us since
our last, is the Official Note of the Neapolitan Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, transmitted in the name of
his Majesty the KING of the Two SICILIES, to all the
Courts of Europe. It is dated Naples, the Ist of
October, 1820, and is to the following purport :
The Minister states, that " when the KING resolved I
on seconding the unanimous wishes of his people for
the adoption of the Neapolitan Constitution, one of
his first cares was to make known to the Cabinet of
Vienna the circumstances which had given rise to
this event, and to assure his Imperial MAJESTY that
it could not produce any change in the relations of
amity happily subsisting between the two Courts."
The Prince de CARIATI was charged with this
mission ; but all his efforts to fulfil it had been un-
successful, the Austrian Minister having refused,
under various pretences, to come to any explanation
on the events of Naples. A fatal prejudice had
taken hold of his mind, and he declared himself
agai,nst the political reform of Naples, before he had
time to form a just opinion of it; nay, almost as
soon as the news was received.
Desirous of enlightening the Imperial Court of
Vienna on the real state of affairs at Naples, the KING
hastened to write himself to the Estrzaou, and the

Puke Nrcoco DI SERRA CAPRIOLA was charged o
deliver the letter, and to annotince at the same time
to-the Austrian Minister the appointment of the Duke
de GALLO to be Ambassador at Vienna, in plice
of
Princh Ramiro, who, by an inexcusable disobedience
to the orders of Government, had lost the confidence
of his Sovereign and of his country.
Unfortunately the mission of the Duke NICOVO
DI SERRA CAPRIOLA had no better success than that
of Prince de CARIATI. He was not permitted t 4:
the EMPEROR ; and he was told- thnt his !amnia -
MAJESTY did not believe himself bound to answe: .c
letter of the KING, which he had recei*ed on the !cr.
position that its contents were altogether if a p:
nature. At the same time, orders were dispaiee..a
from the Austrian Chancellary to the frontiers; :a
prevent the Duke de GALLO continuing his jourrai
to Vienna.
This Ambassador, who was furnished with letters
of credit from the KING, and other confidential 1..t-
-ters from his MAJESTY to the Rammer*, was obit:,
in fact, to stop at Clagenfurth ; and having rernct
grated with the Austrian Minister, against a treat-
ment as inconvenient as irregular, Prince METTER-
NICH replied by a Note of the 2d of September, that
in consequence of a Revolution, which struck the so-
cial edifice to its foundations, and which menaced at
once the security of Thrones, the security of recog-
nized Constitutions, and the repose of Nations, his
IMPERIAL MAJESTY would act contrary to the prin-
ciples which have invariably regulated him, if he lis-
tened Vp the mission with which the Duke de GALLO
was charged.
It must be confessed, continues the Neapolitan
Minister, that the more one reflects on these phrases
the more incomprehensible they seem. The Km.;
was free in his palace, in the midst of his Council
when he came to the determination of satisfying the
general wishes of his people by granting to them a
form of Government more adapted to their want,
mere conformable to the lights of the age, than that
Iwhich before existed, and which he would have given
them sooner had they not concealed from him their
desires—after all this the Cabinet of Vienna believes
the social edifice is struck to its foundations
When the legitimate rights of the reigning family
had been expressly proclaimed, guaranteed, and con-
firmed by the general wish of the nation,—when that
nation displayed,' at the first moment of the political
change, the most profound veneration and devotion
to the KING and his family, they pretend that the
security of Thrones is menaced! When all the world
knows that the Neapolitans have shown the utmost
respect for the rights, for the independence, and for
the institutions of other nations, having refused
to interfere, in any manner, with the affairs of
Benevento and Ponto Corvo, although the inha-
bitants had addressed to the KING the most earnest
supplications to be admitted into the kingdom of
the Two Sicilies; and when fulfilling, literally, a
burdensome stipulation, which extraordinary circum-
stances had imposed on Naples, it paid, With the
greatest punctuality, to Prince BEAUIIARNOIS, the
five millions of francs which it engaged to furnish
him, it is at this moment that recognized institu-
tions and the repose of nations are pretended to be
•
In' danger I
Happily these facts are too notorious to be denied,
and the Cabinet of Vienna could not long dissemble
to itself the force of• them. In fact, in the corai•
dential explanation which Prince METTERNICH had
with Prince Di CIMITILE, he had recourse to other
weapons. According to his opinion, the Carbonari
had been the sole authors of the events which had
occurred at Naples; they had used violence to the
will of the King and the Nation ; they had excited
the army to revolt; and had proclaimed a defective
Constitution, which offered no guarantee.
The Note proceeds to refute these charges in a
calm and dignified style. It states the Revolution to
have been effected by the general concurrence of all
ranks and classes of the people, and appeals to the
election of Deputies to the Parliament as sufficient to
prove that the Nation was animated with but one
sentiment, that of the public good. Men, distir.-
guishedfor their virtues, by their services and their
talents, had been chosen from one end of the king-
dom to the other ; the best Citizens had everywhe:c
obtained the preference. Could a more incontestab:e
proof be desired, that it was not a mere sect which
had produced the political reform of Naples?
Asao the vices with which the Austrian Minister
reproaches the Spanish Constitution, the Note ob-
serves, that no foreign Power has the right of :I.:-
proving or blaming the sort of Government whin
an independent Sovereign thinks it right to apply
to
his States. The Spanish Charter may eEftainly
its defects ; but ,its principles have the stamp of
son and of virtue, and the Neapolitan People hire
too direct an interest in perfecting their institutions
not to occupy themselves diligently in making such
modifications and improvements as may be found
necessary.
The Note next adverts to a secret Article appended
to the Treaty of Vienna, of the 12. h of dune, 1513,
by which the KING of the Two Srctues, " ja le'
suming the government of his kingdom, was boual
not to introduce any change which should not bit ro
coneileable with its ancient monarchical instirutiora,
and with the principles adopted by his larreciAt,
MAJESTY in the internal Government of his liali,l2

Province' " ."
