In this state of things the army, destined to carry into effect the decisions taken at Laybach, has received orders to cross the Po, and to march towards the Neapolitan frontiers. It is repugnant to the feelings of his imperial majesty to suppose that this army can meet with any serious resistance. None but the enemies of the public welfare, the incurable partisans of a system, leading at once to the ruin of the Sicilian monarchy, can mistake what, under the circumstances in which that monarchy is now placed, is owing by every loyal soldier, and every man attached to his country, to his sovereign, and to the safety of his fellow citi-contained in the preceding articles, and with the

The great mass of the nation devoted to its moarch, disgusted with an imaginary liberty, which has only produced the severest tyranny, and tired of a disturbed and precarious existence, conscious likewise, for some time past, of the just and benevolent intentions by which the emperor is animated, will receive, with confidence, those who, in the name of his imperial majesty, and of his august allies, come to offer peace, friendship and protection. If this just hope should not be realized, the army will know how to surmount the difficulties which may impede its progress; and if, contrary to all calculations, and contrary to the fondest hopes of the allied monarchs, an enterprize formed with the purest intention and actuated by no hostile spirit, should degenerate into actual war, or if the resistance of an implacable faction should be protracted for an indefinite time, his majesty the emperor of all the Russias, always faithful to his principles, convinced of the necessity of struggling against an evil so serious, and guided by that noble and constant friendship, of which he has lately bestowed so many precious tokens on the emperor, would lose no time in joining his forces to those of Austria.

In the whole of the transactions which have just taken place, the monarchs have only had in view the safety of the states they are called upon to govern, and the tranquility of the world.

This is the secret of their policy; no other thought, no other interest, no other question, has found a place in the deliberations of their cabinets, The inviolability of all established rights, the independence of all legitimate governments, the integrity of all their possessions, these are the bases from which their resolutions will never deviate.

Extract from the "Friend of the Constitution," of

Naples, of February 19.

National parliament extraordinary—presidency of M. Le Chevalier Galitz-sitting of February 13, 1821. It is impossible to express the joy which the extraordinary meeting of parliament has excited among, the people. The great street of Toledo was lined with detachments of the brave guard of safety and of regular troops.

Salvoes of artillery announced the departure from the palace of his royal highness, our adored prince royal, and of his august family. His appearance produced the most lively enthusiasm-cries of "long live the prince," "the constitution forever," rung to the very skies.

On the arrival of the prince in the hall of the national parliament, where the galleries were crowded with respectable citizens, his royal highness pronounced the following discourse:

The monarchs will have obtained the summit of their wishes, and will be fully rewarded for all Gentlemen representatives-When I closed your their efforts, if it should be possible to insure, on late extraordinary session, I announced to you that these foundations, tranquility in the interior of I might, perhaps, be under the necessity of constates, the rights of thrones, and the true liberty voking an extraordinary session of parliament, as and prosperity of nations, blessings without which authorized by the constitution. That moment is external peace itself could have neither value nor now arrived wherein, with true satisfaction, I see duration.

Ever faithful to the principles which I have professed, ever resolute to stand constantly united with my countrymen, I took care to keep the permanent deputation regularly informed of whatever news we received, if of such a nature as to instruct the public. I have also just commanded the minister 1st. That it has no power to agree to any of the of foreign affairs to give you an exact and detailed

Naples journal of the 16th February.

report of his mission, both as to what regards the resolution taken at the congress of Laybach, of which you are already apprised, and as to what concerns our political condition, especially the relations in which we stand with different foreign pow

ers.

Heroic Spain applauds our magnanimous enterprize; the liberal governments of Europe, for the most part, approve it: but a dense cloud begins to rise from the banks of the Danube; the tempest precedes it, and threatens to extinguish that radiant light which springs from the extreme bounds of I have in the same manner directed the other Sicily and of Italy. We hasten to meet the tempest: ministers to afford you all the explanations you can we strive to appease it by prayers and protestations: desire, or which can convey to you the most pre-all means are tried: every expedient is resorted to, cise knowledge of our position, as well in what re-except those only which belong to a people already lates to the war and marine departments, as to that vanquished and enslaved. All is fruitless! They of the public finances.

I am persuaded that wisdom and moderation will animate your discussions in a matter of this immense importance, which involves the honor and happiness of the whole people, objects not less dear to my heart than to that of every good citizen, since I have rivetted so closely my own interests to those of the nation itself.

The distinguished conduct which you have hitherto pursued in all the measures that have been adopted, gives me a powerful guarantee that you will now, more than ever, acknowledge for your guides the national honor, respect for the throne, and for public order.

Parliament, I am sure, will be ready to grant me for their maintenance all those means which are at the disposal of the legislative power, and which may be best adapted to the exigency of those awful circumstances in which we are placed. Let us take prudent, vigorous, and considerate measures--and as for me, always faithful to my oaths, 1 shall congratulate myself on being in the midst of a nation which ceases not on every occasion to manifest towards me its affectionate sentiments."

ask us for guarantees-we offer them: for assurances of safety, we give them. They summon our sovereign to the congress of Laybach: he repairs thither. They require explanations of our conduct, political and civil, nay almost of our secret thoughts. We make every sacrifice consistent with the honor and dignity of the nation: and, I will add, of the constitutional throne itself; but we are wholly unsuccessful. What more could we do? What security was it possible for us to tender, beyond such a composure as we exhibited: such a resignation, such a respect for the rights of all nations and all monarchs! But, I repeat it, all was in vain-and unless the Supreme Being, the protector of innocence and justice, should enlighten the minds of kings, and touch the hearts of their counsellors, it will be difficult to preserve peace.

Rumor, (sad messenger of the calamities which impend over nations), had long since announced, that a cloud, charged with lightning and tempest, was approaching our native country. Your royal highness, in calling together an extraordinary parliament, has still added strength to our suspicions. The discourse which, with so much feeling, you The president answered in the following terms: have delivered from the throne of your ancestors, "Your royal highness-Polished and civilized has changed our doubts into certainty. The concommunities are, doubtless, they who, rising above tents of the official documents which accompany the other nations which cover the surface of the your speech, are for us a melancholy augury; and, earth, love those laws and constitutions which se-perhaps, the whole nation will be compelled to cure their tranquility, their industry and their en-throw aside the system of moderation which has joyment of the arts and sciences, by which they are distinguished it, to enforce all its rights, and to disdistinguished from barbarians. An industrious and cultivated nation is naturally pacific, and useful to its neighbors-it envies not their glory nor their greatness-continually occupied in improving its own institutions, protected by a wise and liberal legislation, it loves its actual condition, it seeks not to change that for a doubtful futurity-it respects the rights of others, because it comprehends all the advantages which flow from a system of peace and moderation.

It is on these bases that our ancestors founded their laws, and built up their institutions. They were the foremost among the most celebrated peo ple of the universe to distinguish themselves throughout a long period of civilization. The errors into which mankind have fallen from the influence of time, from the neglect of religion, and the corruption of morals, have impaired amongst ourselves those noble principles, on which depend the power, the splendor, the celebrity of nations. But an active, magnanimous, generous people can no longer remain plunged in the thick darkness which has surrounded them. They have roused themselves from their lethargy, and within a few short months have run the career of ages, yet without any violent shock, yet without destroying at a single blow, all their ancient institutions; but uniting to this unlooked for impulse the consent of their lawful sovereign, twice testified on oath, and consecrating the legitimacy of the throne, and of the reigning dynasty, by vows no less spontaneous than sincere.

play itself in full dignity before the face of Europe.

As for us, we wanted nothing at the hands of neighboring nations. We respect all governments, however contrasted may be their constitutions with our own: we wish to live at peace in our dwellings, to cultivate our soil, to exercise unrestrained the rights of industry and commerce: we wish other states to respect our religion, and to leave it untainted by foreign superstitions; we are anxious for peace under the shade of those protecting laws, and of that immortal constitution, fidelity to which we have sworn. Sir, parliament will adopt those resolutions which it shall conceive to be most worthy of the honor and independence of the nation which has confided to us its destinies -those resolutions which will be best calculated to preserve peace, if possible, and good understanding hetween the people of the Two Sicilies, and all other nations of the earth; to consolidate the edifice of our constitution, and the legitimacy of the throne.

Your royal highness, with that noble frankness and integrity by which you are characterised, has just pronounced these memorable words, that you "will be ever with us and with the nation," and the grateful nation will know how to maintain eternally on the throne of the Two Sicilies the dynasty of Charles."

At these words the hall resounded with fresh ac, clamations, which accompanied the prince and his august spouse the whole way from the parliament to the palace.

After the prince's departure, his excellency the duke de Gallo, secretary of state, ad interim, for foreign affairs, made a report to the chamber, of his mission to Laybach.

Your majesty has borne to the cortes, the most honorable testimony of the esteem entertained for their labours during the last session, and of the pleasure derived from the demonstrations of their love and respect to the august person of your majesty.

The cortes consider, as worthy of your majesty and of the great nation which you govern, the resotion you have taken, not to acknowledge any thing that may be contrary to those principles in which the independence of nations consists, and which Spain will inviolably maintain as to all. They rejoice, however, that the allied sovereigns have testified hitherto, in all their communications, that they recognize these principles relatively to Spain, particularly if this acknowledgment have been made in a clear and explicit manner, as the cortes The cortes are resolved to pursue the same path would desire, as national comity requires, and as in the fulfilment of their important duties-they our security, in reference to the neighbouring will exert themselves, in concert with the govern- states, imperatively demands.

The suspension of the ravages of war on Terra Firma, owing, doubtless, to the establishment of our constitutional law, and the hope of the salutary effects which this fortunate event may continue to produce beyond sea, must alleviate the affliction your majesty's heart has experienced from the attempts of ill disposed persons, who, nourishing chimerical and criminal views, have momentarily interrupted the tranquility of some provinces of the peninsula and even of the capital.

For the rest, the cortes, restricted by the constitution to legislative functions, rely upon the zeal and wisdom of your majesty. They trust your majesty, as supreme and sole head of the executive department, in whose august person is vested the power of executing the laws, and whose authority extends to whatever conduces to the preservation of public order, which is inseparable from respect and veneration of the royal dignity, will cause all infringements of our insti

THE "HOLY ALLIANCE."

The king of Prussia did not attend the congress at Laybach, which has been broken up. It was believed that the king of Naples would not return home until the war against his country should be concluded: that Prussia would also issue a declaration against Naples, similar to the Austrian. There is a report that the sovereigns had agreed upon a manifesto or something of the sort in relation to Spain, and that a Russian envoy had been appointed to carry it to Madrid. The two empe. rors, it was added, would proceed to Florence, to wait, perhaps, the issue of the crusade against freedom.

One editor has been fined 4000 francs and sentenced to eight months imprisonment for publishing, and another fined 2000 and imprisoned one month for copying, a jeu d'esprit on one of the mi

SPAIN.

The priests in the interior or country places of Spain, are said to be very persevering in their efforts to excite the credulous and superstitious to insurrection. The new government has been too indulgent to this description of restless persons, who preach politics from the pulpit.

PORTUGAL.

The cortes continue their sessions with the greatest regularity. The following resolutions relative to the British officers lately in the Portuguese army, have been proposed by the committee to whom their case was referred:

"That the English officers, who, by the declaration of the 26th of August, 1820, as the provisional junta of the supreme government of the kingdom, retired from the service of the Portuguese army, A Florence Gazette of the 10th February states, be dismissed with honor and with the thanks of the that when Gallo arrived at Laybach, and was in-nation, solely from the necessity of giving a new formed by Metternich of the result of the confer-organization to the national royal army. ence of the allies, in which they state their terms, 2.

It was resolved at length to reduce the question to three points, on which the chamber proceeded to vote:

“Gallo again wished to speak, but the king again interrupting him, said to him, "Go, go, dear Gallo, get thee gone quickly-I have nothing else to say to thee."

Gallo then withdrew, and set off for Naples. The above conversation was related word for word by Gallo himself to prince Sardinia, and to the English minister. The emperor Alexander is represented to have declared, that if the Neapolitans made the least resistance, he would send 250,000 men against them, who would ravage the country.

GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

It appears that the daughter of the duke and duchess of Clarence is dead-but one of his younger brothers, if we recollect rightly, has what is called a lawful child, a presumptive heir for the mastery of millions.

Considerable debate arose on the 23d article, some members wishing to give the king the right to propose laws; but the article was passed as it stood originally.
