ANSWER OF THE KING OF NAPLES To
TIE RHNONSrRANCE OF FRANCE AND
ENGLAND.


A CORE spondent in the Cologne Gazette gives the
following as Il faithful ralysis if not the trxt it,e
of tie answer of the King of Naples which the Mon
aur de.cribed as negative in substance snd oiien-
sive in FORM
liking Ferdinand formally declines to suffer any
ntiomsi lion of the Western Powers in the affairs of
bis kingdom. He repudistes int rterenee a. being
contrary TO al the rules Of International night and de-
rogstory to the inde dependence and oi,uity of his
crown. Relying upon the principle of eternal justice
which preecribes that you shoud not do auto others
what you would not have Others do unto yon he asks,
What would Lore Psmers'on say II the Neapctan
Government were to presume to sit in judgment on
the administrative acts of the Biti,h CABIN et and to
reoonnerda modicsio n in its internal policy or
for instance, the adoption of more liberal measures
toward unbeppy Irelsnd and more humane ones in
regard to its subjects IN the East Inoies ? Wha.
would be biz arswer to any power that should Thu,
dare 10 intemeddle with the Queens Government
He would reply ss the Court OF Naples now does
that be acknowledged no right al d no power in any
ore whatever to oiciate fues of conduct 10 hm. or 10
Icu ge in feDsve reIDonstIances. Or r9he, not ~.
Lord PameIs.on would not even have taken tho
trouble TO aItwer, but he would have at ones sen.
passports to the representative of the power thst
sbould bove go acted Has net then the King of Ma
pes equal right With Great Britain 10 show himself
jealous Of his honor and careful of that of his
people? He may, indeed, by way Of showing the
neghbory respect ard good feeling with whic be ls
sIinated, listen to everu.s made with the object of
consolidating public order in Europe Bm these
should be aid before him with al that dslieaey and
reserve which is due to q free Sovereign. And in
any event be alone must be the Judge ii the eii-
cacy Of the INT asurcs which he may be recommended
to aoopt, and above all must be left absolutely free
to choose the moment which msy seen best to
binself for their application. The KIM is better
able than any one else to appreciate he eIigen-
cies of bis position and the necesstiss resulting
ff,m it. 1t is alleged that this situation requires
certsin notifications, certain reforms. i argued
that the revolution no longer alta, ks tie Govern
me- Mt OF the Tso Siciies by physca force. Admitting
that to be so, il s proof that the rtgin 80 loudly
complained Of has not been useless harmful a.
some people would have it believed. But it is added,
this regime bas ceased to be necessary. The King ~
not OF that opinion, ard his will cannot be constrained

then what becomes Of the principle Of the royal
tborityl And What woad be he value of acs accom-
plsbtd VI der external pre,sure7 Under suoi crcum-
saLce, any concession, however legitimate. would be-
alike devoid of merit and efficacy. His Maj
esty King Ferdinand is, therefore, entirely in the
truth of the situation when hs maintains br prerogs
tves and when he asserts bis right to be the sOe Judge
both Of what s TO be done ana VIXEN ia the opp stune
mtment 10 do it, This moment he desires 10 zee with
al bis teart but IL imposs BILE to deny
that the violent and systematic attacks Of the En-
glsb peer and the proyocators thrown ou IN parl4-
meItniy speeches, are calculated 10 postpone the
opportunity for some time yet. 1t Is supposed that
tie bad persoLs Of country still imbusd with tho
revolutionary doctrine of ls4s 10 be Gained by su,b

broke out in Naples ana Palermo were the signal for

"Such cannot be the real intention of the cabinets
Of l. ndop and Psrs which must desire " maintain
peace and the 70 dearly bought repose of Europe.
Such above all cannot be the intention of the French
Government, which, after having displayed such
getic .fiors to vsnqnish the revolution st hone
not detign to encourage in Italy. That would be to
act in fragrant CONT uadciiOn 10 the wise and abe poll.
