EhFuoL, APAiL Dc
We have, in our columns, given an account
of the failure of the attempt of the Neapoli-
tans to establish for themselves free form of
government. This failure will be seriously la
mented by all men of liberal sentiments. par
ticuarly at a-moment when, as a confirmation
of the beautiful theories OF liberty, we present
them with'tlie inaugural speech Of the Presi-
dent OF great nation, which shows how bene-
hcially TO the human race those theories may
be rendered practical. The Holy Alliance
may triumph over Naples but America re-
mains great and inextinguishable beacon, to
direct our hopes and our endeayours TO the
safe harbour of constitutional government
While America remains free, (and what pow
er on earth can enslaye her y Europe cannot
. be wholly ensIaved. Nor do we think that
the friends of freedom have cause to despair.
even OF Naples. In this successful aggression
AUSTRIA has added to the catalogue of her own
crimes, and thereby afforded further cause for
the hatred and vengeance of those whom she
dares to Cypress. 1t is not by soldiers that the
ideas and sentiments of men can be extirpat..
ed; and she has been taught by the events of
the last year, that even soldiers have their Pc
RODS of reflection; that even those well-prac-
tlsed machines of war may sometimes assert
their share of humanity. and may turn weap-
ons to other purposes than that of defending
the thrones Of despots, OF that of executive
the sanguinary behests of greedy and ambitious
tyrants. Spain and Portugal still remain in
the enjoyment of their newly-acquired lber-
ties; and it is impossible that France and En-
gland can long continue to behold with indif-
ference the westward progress of that oriental
despotism, which, while it pretends to preach
the safety OF thrones, is manifestly aiming at
the destruction of all the, commerce. all the
power, and all the independence Of the west
ern nations. The despotick spirit must be.
driven beyond the Wolga, or Europe will be
to Russia what Egypt and Persia were in an
cient daysto Assyria. Even now, the smaller
Kingdoms, and even France, under the misera-
BILE government of the feeble Bourbons. are
little better than the satraps of great three
headed empire, which, after the manner Of
the eastern tyrannies, has denomnated itself
Holy. It's time, therefore, for the west Of
Europe Gas Sir R. Wilson emphatcally declar-
ed) to raise its own defence. It must do so
in the spirit of freedom, and with the strength
which true representative governments neces-
sanly possess.

"NeapolitaS,s The time is come when -
is not only the interest and the duty of all
good subjects to adhere to and obey the laws

The efforts Of the disaTected, and Of those
MISGUIDED individuals who imagined that sub.

quarter and the Austrian armies have APP
