After six months spent in vain de-
liberations, first at Troppau, and latter
ly at Laybach, the Allied Sovereigns,
tired in sustaining their cause before the
tribunal of reason, have resorted to the
great maxim of despotism, and have
drawn the sword The Austrian army
has received orders to march--it advan-
ces, and Naples is to become the theatre
of war.
We know where our enemies are
they have declared themselves, we shall
soon have nearer view Of them. But
in such aSolemn situation, by what name
shall we call the English ? The English
Administration through its organ, lord
Castlereagh, has issued declaration APP
parently favorable to our cause, but I'M
der the friendly exterior ofhis diploma
tic note we easily discover that the
ministers have followed less their own
opinion than yielded to the wishes of the
nation. We perceive in this document
that, dexterous in guarding against being
committed in future, they have left to
events the eiaire explanation of their con-
duct. In the mean time an English fleet
cruises before our walls, is it here, to at
tack or protect them
This uncertainty afllicts, at the pre-
sent moment, our country. We deposit
our anxiety in your bosoms, we generous
friends of freedom Will ye, who were
the first to raise on the ruins of des-
potsm the reign of law, suffer a people
to be oppressed with impuni'y, who,
proud eliminating the glorious example
which you set US, have placed liberty on
the throne
Such is the whole Of our crime Per.
haps you accuse us Of not showing sui.
ficient respect for the throne when we
broke our chains at its foot. Have we
not encircled with our homage and Out
fidelity the grey hairs of our aged sove,
reign? Has our Parliament, while EN-.
ployed IN laying the basis of our consti
tutional rights and internal prosperity
committed any outrage on the rights o.
other nations! Mp, that order, modera
ton and tranquility, which spring from
the love of the laws, reign in our coun
try, and yet the sword of stranger me-
naces its independence. Ye noble pro-
tectors of the laws and of humanity, are
you capable of becoming accomplices ii
such an Ubiquitous outrage? Can you re-
main Indifferent spectators of the unequa
conflict in which Princes with the re
sources of 70 millions of men approach
against a population Of millions.
We have blood, arms, and courage
we shall fight for our freedom. If We
conquer, it will adorn our triumph: i
we perish it will shed lustre on oul
graves; but in the name of justice save
us the pain of thinking that nation
among whom patriotism is kind OF
religion, can lend an assisting hand tc
culpable projects of arbitrary violence
Issue to Europe faithful and solemn
declaration that England, the celebrated
abode Of immortal liberty, will never
consent to forge the chains with which
despotism is endeavoring to fetter ant
