INVASION OF NAPLES.
II will be seen, by an article in our pre-
ceeding columns, that the passage Of the 70
BY the Austrians is confirmed. The troops
of despotism have renewed their crusade
against Liberty preceded by the manifesto
of = boary .dotard, who has added fresh
instance of apostacy to his former sins a.
gainst bis country. We do mt expect the
resistance of the Neapolitans to be in the
first instance successful. but we think
,hat'tbe Friends of Freedom may indulge
confident expectations Of perseve-
rance which may again shake these despotic
sovereigns from their decaying thrones.
The interests of the Prince Regent Of Naples
are closely connected with the freedom and
independence of his country. The intelli-
gent editor of the Champion, justly re-
marks, that /" the Crown Prince-the pre-
sent Regent of Naples (Franeis, Duke Of
Calabria) is suspected, or accused, Of being

Clemintina, of Austria, the exclusion of the
Regent from the eventual succession is an
object meditated by the Austrian Emperor.

and the probable alternative must be the
prompt submission OF the Neapolitan Revo-

not very probable we are tempted to be-
lieve; and, il the suggestions we have pre-
ceeded upon are in any degree ,cnurate. a
contrary result is almost inevitable; Tor the
Prince Regent of Naples fights not alone
for the freedom and independence Of his
country; he fights for the security Of bis
succession to the throne. The interests Of
the Prince and the People are one. Happy
is the country, even though menaced by
foreign invasion, where this Is the case, for
the circumstances must indeed be unfavor-
able, in which il is moi then invincible."
To these just remarks, we would, had we
room. add some reflections on the present
animated tone in which the whole OF the
enlightened and improving population OF
the Continent have declared their senti.
ments Of late years, Notwithstanding the
terrible acts Of tyranny with which il has
been attempted to be stided.
The point is at issue, whether the fair
and intelligent countries of Europe shall be
reduced under the yoke of an ignorant and
barbarous de.potism, like tbeancient debas.

Egypt,or whether they shall be free and in
dependent states, coniederated for the pur-
poses OF liberty, peace, and the happiness
Of mankind. Indeed. after the answer Of

Of yesterday j there can be no doubt as to
the nature Of the present contest. The
conflict is between ignorance and informa-
ton; between the absurditIes Of antiquity,
the bigotry Of obsolete usages, and the ex.
banding intellect Of the present period.
This answer Of his imperial majesy is a
manifesto which nigh, have proceeded from

awful anticipation OF similar times, which
