" DeArvit &in—The sentiments which animate me to
proutote the happiness of mr people, and the motives
by which I have been impelled; at an advanced age, and
in a riknoni season, to undertake a, long and {minkl
journey, are well known to you. I perceived that our
country was threatened with new iiiisfoitunes, and
was convinced, therefore, that no consideration ought
to prevent an act imposed on me as the most sacred of
duties.

" After my first interview with the Sovereigns, and
subsequently receiving the emmuunications which were
made to me relative to the deliberations that hail taken
place on the part of the Congress assembled at Trappist,
I no longer retained any doAt of the judgment homed
by the Allied Powers or the events that have occurred
at Naples, from the Ist July to the present day.
" I found them irrevocably determined nut to recog-
nise the situation of affairs that has resulted, or that
can by possibility result, front those events ; they re-
gard our present system as incompatible, both with the
tranquillity of my kingdom and the security of the
neighbouring states; and resolve to attack us hr force
of was-, if the force of per.mision does not produce an
immediate cessation from that courae of action.

" This is the declaration which the Sovereigns, as
well as the respective Plenipotentiaries have made to
we, and fr which nothing can induce them to depart.
" It is beyond my power, and, I believe, all linman
possibility, to obtain a different result. There remains,
theft, no uncertainty as to the alternative in which we
are places), nor of the only means which remain to save
kin-zslinsi from the scourge of war.
Should the conditions on which the Sovereigns in-
sist be accepted, the measures to which they will give
rise will be conducted solely through my intervention.
I might to inform yon, however, that the Monardis
exact s ertain guarantees which they consider indis-
pensaiity necessary to the security of the neighbouring
state:..

In relar:ll to the Hew preterit which is to succeed the
preseist :ituatiots ut affair:., the Sovereigns have combo-
isicatc,l the gesietal point of view under which they re-
gard that quest
" They consider the measures that are to be adopted to
give the stability to soy government which is necessary,*
subject of the highest importance to the security and tran-
quillity 41 the states bordering on my l;in;dom,and conse-
quently
.to the whole of Europe; but without assuming
the power to restrain my free choice in the selection of
tho‘e measure's. They desire that, surrounded by the
wisest and most honourable men among my subjects, I
init.,— consult the true and permanent interests of my peo-
ple, without losing sight of those involved in the main-
ltst'e of the geuoral peace ; and that there may result
lions my cares and my exertion's a system of government
calculated to guarantee for ever the reuose and prospe-
rity of tow kingdom, and at the saint! time to give et: u
r to the rest of Italy, taking into consideration en
teioiie maim.? br inquietude which the late events have
caused them.

" It is my de!.ire, dearest Son, that you give to the
present letter all the publicity that it ought to have, to
the end that nu one may be -deceived concerning. the pe-
rilous situation in which we are placed If this letter
produces the effecs whiLL I feel permitted to hope, 11.,.
the conscious rectitude of my paternal intentions,
rind my confidence both in your understanding and in
the just judgment and loyalty of my people, it will be
your task to maintain public order until I can convey to
AIS) • lll+itwae WWI weer, lay will twocorstior the
e-ortleininent o he administration. In the meantime
I embrace you with all my heart.
