Although these designs seemed to be alb
solutely romantic, nevertheless the Nea-
polltan government had directed light YES
sells 70 cruise. In order to guard the coasts
Of the Kingdom in such manner, that line
of gun boats might remain on a station
from the waters Oh Gaeta to those of Mon
tecirceilo another from the point of the
Campaneiia to the lighthouse and q third
from the Capo dell'Armi TO the Ionian
Sea.
The event has evinced how great wa
the Wisdom OF these measures. On the
9Th Inst. as soon as Gen. Murat arrived
with sCorrdoia and boves TO the shore
OF Pizzo, in Calabria UIterior; immedi-
ately he discmbarked with 80 followers, "a.
mong whom were Lieut.. Gen. Frances
chettI and NJ .rshal Natal.
From the shore ne quietly directed his
steps towards the square :arrived there, he
undertook to excite sedtion, the source
OF civil war. crying ont to the people, " L
am your King Joachim Murat you ought
TO know me.'
These words were signal for gener-
al commoiion--they fed to arms. Murat
and his followers, who directed their route
to Monte leone, percelving themselves
closely pursued by the population, precpi-
places, from whence they attempted to
open way for themselves to the coast, and
there endeavor to regain the launch, viii Ii
waited for them at the shore there, how
ever, overcome by the number & courage
of those who pursued them, they were
made prisoners, and notwithstand ng a
very strong resistance on their part, were
CO du ted TO the Fort of PizZn.
In the heat of tie engagement captain
Pernice was killed, and Gen. Franceschet-
ii and seven other men wounded all in the
suite of Murat
While the action was warmest at the
shore, the scorridoja and bove betook
themselves TO flight.
The whole expedition of Gen. Murat
was COZ posed of six vessels four of them
have fallen into the hands of II. M ma
rlne chace is given to the other two 1t
IS said that one Of the other vessels had put
on shore near the coast of Liscosa, three
emissaries, charged with criminal opera
tons.
This event has not in the least altered
the public tranquility every where a
calm has been preserved, worthy of ma
ton that loves order, and is affectonately
attached to its legitimate sovereign.
The police, to which the most secret

scd of every thing so, that the public order
might not suffer but its measures have
constantly maintained the character Of a
patcrnal government.
Whilst it was known that Murat endea-
voured to plunge us in all the horrors of
anarchy and civil war. the government
has not permitted a single individual to be
arrested throughout the whole superhces
ot the kingdom, thoroughly persuaded of
the fidelity of its subjects.
This does honour to the kings heart,
who was not deceived when he plsccd all
his trust in the devotion and love of his
people.
History will record with honour the zeal
of the generous inhabitants of Pizzo, the
berefcence of II. M. towards them, and
the noble conduct pursued by all the autho-
rites, judicial, civil and military, all of
OF whom have on this occasion acquired
new rights to the affection of the king, and
to the esteem of the nation.

1t IS also said that in his flight, Murat
had succeeded in gaining the boat which
waited for him at the shore, but he had
not time to push off, by reason of the quick
arrival of those who pursued him. By
very extraordinary combination. with the
except II of himself, almost all the per
sons that were with him, were wounded,
besides one who was killed.
.Frother letter Of tie 17th October.
Joachim Murst brought before militia
ry commission, has been cond mned to
death, and shot on the 18th inst. at Pizzo.
1t is reported, that his guilty attempt is
irrefragably proved by authentic docu-
ments of the greatest importance, found at
the moment Of his arrest.
The CRIME was entirely concealed in the
henrt of the invader, and his followers
come from Corsica.
Heaven had reserved for the inhabitants
of Pizzo the glory of saving our country,
md Italy from new revolutionary calam
ties but this glory ought to be regarded
as the patrimony of the whole natlon-In
every part whatever Of the kingdom, the
dsturber of the public peace would have
found in the subjects of His M ,iosty the
same fidelity, and the same.zeal, as in those
of the farthest extremity of Calabria.
