NEAPOLITAN RErOLCTION.

NAPLES. JOLT 8.

hie of the last measures adopted by our government,
for overawing both the nation and the army, and re-
pressing the demand for a constitution, was to publish,
in the official Gazette of July 4, (two days before the
•Reroluti"n broke out,) the following note of the Rus-
sian government, addressed to the Spanish Minister
resident at St. Petersburgh. You will see, by this do-
content, that the Emperor of Russia strongly condemns
every constitution imposed on a Sovereign by fore.:
NOTE OP TOE I)MP►RIAL RI:ASIAN MINISTRY TO THR

RASIVAN I' SPANISH MINISTER,

PRTERSIVIIIIL, APRIL 20 (mmr 2.)

The note which the Chevalier de Zee de Bermede:
addressed to the ministry of Russia, nyder the date of
the 19th of April, has been laid before the Emperor.
Constantly animated with the desire of seeing the
prosperity of the State and the glory of the Sovereign
maintaining themselves and flourishing together in
Spain, his 31ajesty the Emperor could not, without
profound :Action, learn the events which have oc-
casioned the official note of the Chevalier 'Lea.

Even though those events should be considered only
as the deplorable circumstances of the errors, which,
since the sear Is I I, scent to have presaged • catas-
trophe for the Peninsula, still nothing can justify the
aggressions which deliver up the destinies of the
country to a violent crisis. Too often have similar dis-
orders announced days of sorrow for empires.
The futnre for Spain appears again under a som-
brous and disturbed aspect. Well-founded disquietude
must be awakened throughout all Europe; but the
more actions these consequences are, and the more
they are capable of becoming fatal to that general
tranquillity of which the world has scarcely tasted the
first fruits, the less does it belong to the powers gua-
ranteeing th it universtil benefit to pronounce separately,
with precipitation, and according to limited or exclu-
sive views, a definitive judgment on the transactions
which have marked the commencement of the month

of March in Spain.
Not doubting bat that the Cabinet of Madrid has
addressed similar communications to all the allied courts,
his l►uperial Majesty readily believes that all Europe is
about to speak in oue unanimous voice to the Spanish
tieverpment the language of truth—consequently the
language et a leieodship «way frank and well in-
tentioned. - - -

Meanwhik th 6 Russian ministry cannot dispense
with adding swage eousillerations us the anterior facts
to which the Chevalier 'Lea de Bermudez has referred
in his mote. Like him, the Imperial Cabinet will in-
♦oke the t‘stiniony of those facts, and, in citing them,
will :orke known to him the principles which the Em-
peror proposer to 1%/Unif in his relations with his most
Christian Majesty,
In shaking utitlse foreign yoke which the French
revolution !ad ho posed, Spain acquired indelible titles
to the esteem and gratitude of all European powers.

.
Russia paid her the tribute of those sentiments in the
treaty of the bth, (310th) of July, atilt.
Since the general pacification, Russia has, is con-
cert with her allies, given more than one proof of the
interest she takes in Spain. The correspondence
which has taken place between the different courts of
Europe attests the wish which the Emperor has
always forgoer' that the authority of the King might
be consolidated in both hemispheres, through the me-
dium of pure and generous principles.. and with the
support of vigorous institutions, rendered still more
vigorous by the regular mode of their establishment.
Institutions which emanate from thrones are con-
servatory ; lout if they spring up amidst troubles, they
o ply engender a new chaos. In dertlariug his couvic-
tion on this mist, the Emperor only speaks according
to Ivssons of experience. If we look back on the past,
great rxa oples present the.nselves for the meditation
of nations and sovereigns.
His Majesty persists in his opinion ; his wishes are
sot changed : of that he here gives the most formal

It now belongs to the government of the Peninsula
to judge whether institution■ imposed by one of those
violent acts-...the fatal patrimony of the revelation
against which Spain had straggled with so mach
houoar—ean realise the benefits which both worlds
aspect from the wisdom of his most Catholic Majesty,
and the patriotism of his councils.

The path by which Spain shall choose to seek this
important o►ject, the measures by which she shall en-
desvour to destroy the impression produced in Europe
by the event of the month of March, mast determine
the mature of the,relations, which his imperial alajes•
ty will preserve with the Spanish tiovernment, and
the e,onlidence which he would always wish to testify
towards it.

Extract of a Letter dated Buenos Ayres, May 8
Our provinces are still in the maw state of aaarchy
and confusion. The same struggles fur power conti-
nue, and so sooner is one party up than leagues are
funned to pall them down. Smyth has fallen and
again risen up three times, and at length he has been
compelled to take to his heels, and has been succeeded
in the Government of the Province by Don Miaow,*
Ramos, mewed Alderman, low it is impossible be can
last brag. Sarratea's party Is in the interior, and if
he should again come in, aided by the Chiefs of the
Fedral Troops, Dad knows what way set take place in
this distracted and unhappy town."
It is said, that a cordon of troops is about to invest
ohs isetisPassysoding the sassing trill of the Wen,

on Blackheath.
