The following article from the Dutch pa

ssx,raition from Naples against Sicily.
Na5ss, Tuae 7,-Tk7 report thar our

confirmed.
According to the latest accounts in our
Cor, Gazette, his majesty our king, on
the 3Uh May, accompanied By general Ca
varnac and other persons, went from Mon
,rlcone 10 Trope. The head quarters were
lobe removed 10 Nicos,eza.
At nlontelcone, the sovereign, together
with the generals Grener and Cavignac,
hadbeen employed in making arrange
for the better supply Of the troops with pro.
visions. so that the inhabitants might not
suffer. Considerable transports of provi-
sions from Naples have already arrived at
Pizzo, and other parts ct Calabria.
His majesty has expressed himself ex-

and conduct of the inhabitants Of Gala
hria.
The visit of the duke of Orleans to Ca

with the Jan,a of that place, have given
rise to report of design to appoint him
sole regent of Spain. His royal highness's

Bourbon family, bat above al! his recent
alliance by marriage with the royal family

\ OSpaiu, are so many easons which marx
him OUT as a fit objact for that elevation !:
but We know, that when prince Leopold of
Sicily offered himself to Spain, the propo-
sltlon was not countenanced. Ills possible
N tnat visit of the duke may not have had
n any political object, aud that the conferences
may have been mere affairs of compliment.
Inc duke went from this country to be
married to Sicilian princess and we be-
heve his presence on the Spanish coast is
3 occasioned by visit to his mother, who
has resided on the Mediterranean coast Of
opan, ever since she was delivered over by
Tie revolu;ionists. Her royal highness is,
We elieve. at present in Minorca.
n oonaparte, who loves no one, is himself
y not the object of affection, even In his own
i'miy--we see the differences between him
