1.-The King Of Naples.
nv this convention there was not stl-
,ulated a mere armistice, but the equiya-
Iyalent of a state Of peace; as not only 1t.
vas agreed that there should be COM
I,lete cessation of hostilities between the
1.-TWO powers, but it was also declared,
That all their ports should be open to the
trade and the flag Of the two nations, SO
THAT England positively recognizes the
lNeapolitan government and flag. It was
besides stipulated, that there should be
concerted between the generals OF the.
Austrian, English and Neapolitan ar
nies, plan of operations, according y
| qhich these armies, united for the same
cause. should act in italy; a condition
(which established atrue alliance between
ENGLAND and the kingdom of Naples ::
land that alliance has in fact existed, as
laie English troops fought with the Nea-
/ olitan troops under the orders Of the
king; the English generals concerted
l,eir operations with his Neapolitan ma
Eesty, to whom his exce!!ency Lord Cas-
llereagh even offered fifteen thousand fu-
| SIS. from his government, on the de-
nand made to him by the Neapolitan
o.enipotentiary, accredited besides by
the allied powers.
His majesty TIE king of Naples had al
READY advanced his army on the territory
lot the French empire and the kingdom
! f Italy: he had laid siege to fort 1T.
! Ange, al-l the places of Ancona and Ci-
| TIA and yecchia, and he had forced the
Igiceroy, by threatening his rear. to quit
1.-The line of the Adige, and to retire be-
hind the Mincio, when he learned by a
despatch from the Austrian cabinet, that
the treaty of the 18th January had not
been ratified, because his excellency lord
ICastlereagh having examined it, had
written notes on it with his own hand,
land suggested changes, in order to rem
her it such as England might have no
! liHiculty in accepting it. 50 that if his
INeapoIitan majesty ACCEPTED the treaty
with the notifications made in common
! nth England, that power would equally
accept it.
| The concurrence of England in the
treaty as it was of new framed, was con-
| irmed by note of the Austrian plenlpo-
| entiaries, of the 10th February, aud by
| despatch from his excellency Lord Cas-
ltlereagh to Lord Bentinek, dated from
| .3asie. the ed January. by which he Ell
Iioined him. in consequence OF the con-
illusion of the treaty of alliance bet" cen
the courts of Vienna aud Naples, on an
understanding ,ritt England, to Put a
stop to the hostilities against the king
laom of Naples Oh the part OF Great-br-
tain. and to take proper measures ior en-
gazing the court Of Sicily to act IN the
Isame manner.
Although the king of Naples had rea-
son to be surprized at this unforeseen
land unusual incident, he, nevertheless.
accepted all the notifications propo-
sed by his exceiIeHcy Lord ast,ereasF-
with respect to his engagements Nitli tie
|court of Sicily, and he ratified the trea-
Ity in the assurance that Eng and woSid
|accede to it in the sequel: Tor without
that, his Neapolitan majesty misht have
dispensed with accepting the inodliica-
ions proposed by the English minister IN
which Austria did not take any direct in
lterest.
The king. counting then on the aces
sion of England to her treaty with Aus
,ria, continued his military operations.
The Neapolitan troops, united with tie
English and Austrian troops, displayed
the most brilliant valor in several AFFAIRS,
the details of which are too wei known
to be here repeated. 1t is sufficient to
Isay that field marshal the count dc Bel
|jeyarde and lord William Bentinck ad-
dressed fluctuations respecting them to
lthe king, who On several occasions eX-
posed his own person for the cause OF the
coalition.
During the course of this campaign,
which was terminated by the armistice
concluded between the yiceroy and the
allies in Italy, at the very moment when
the Neapolitan army was going to force
Placenza, after having possession OF Mo-
dena, Reggie, Guastal!a, and Parma
Ibis majesty the king of Naples had re-
ceived an autograph letter from his ma
|jestv tie emperor OF Austria. Which rati,
fed the treaty of the 18th Of january
But he had been informed at the same
time that the accession promised BY Eng.
, Hand had not taken place, because his
excellency Lord Castereagh was desi.
