~
Honor among Kings ought to be as
much certainty, one would fancy, as
honor among thieves. It is not, we fear
The latest foreign papers contain ac-
counts Of little bit of sharp practice
which the Ex-King of Naples lately at
tempted against his relative, the EN-
peror of Austria. '. $500 .-
Francis Joseph, himself weak and
sometimes wicked sovereign, had so much
sympathy for Francis II, Of Naples,
that, when it became pretty clear that
the Neapolitan tyrant would have to fly,
the Austrian feet were ordered up from
the Gulf Of Verice to the shore of the
Kingdom of Naples, in order, if needs
be, to receive the fugitive King and his
family, and safely convey them to an
asylum in the Austrian dominions. .E
OF course, the King of Naples was
greatly relieved and obliged by the in
timation that if-as the event proved
he could not trust his own navy, he
might rely on the navy of Austria. But,
not especially anxious to become an ex-
lie, the Neapolitan ruler limited to Carl
baldithat, provided he would discontinue
his course upon Naples, he (the King
would lend him the Neapolitan navy
with a military force, to take with him
for hostile operations against Venetia.
Incensed at this base per6dy, Carl,
baldi communicated it to the Emperor
of Austria, who Immediately recalled his
feet to Trieste, and abandoned his
treacherous cousin to his fate. So runs
the story, and it is too positively detailed
to leave much reasonable doubt of its
being founded on facts.
