on that account from England, be¬ er, die;, was (uiliricnt for drat pow¬ er that it had done its utmoit en¬ deavors to procure a compenfation to the Court of Sicily. Ffnalfy, his Excellency concluded, that the King of Naples muft b- convinced that if the B itifli Government had not coniented to recognize the dynaity actually reignina in Na¬ ples, it would have oppofed the engagements entered into by Aus¬ tria with theKiuff, or that at ieaft it would have protefted aAainlt them ; but that, on the contrary, having been afkecl bv the allies if it concurred in the alliance with %is ^Neapolitan Majelty, the an- iwer of the Enpdifh Government had been in the affirmative. To give more force and authen¬ ticity to thefe verbal declarations, arid that-the King of Naples might Cot be left without a formal guar¬ antee or thedispoikions of the Bri- t^annlc Government with respect to bim, his Excellency Lord /v-*1'- rcaodi tranfmittecl. throue CaUlc- d 'William Bentick, to the miniiter for foreign affairs of His Neapoli¬ tan Majefty, an official note, of date the ill of April, 1S14, by which he declared, that the Encrlifh Government allures to the King of Naples its adherence to the trea- ty ftipulated between him and Aiiftria, that it coniented to the augmentation of territory which was promifed to him under title of indemnity ; and that if the Bri- tiih government did not immedi¬ ately fig 11 a particular Treaty with his Neapolitan Majeity, thai pro¬ ceeded folely from icniiny-nts 0 i: J. delicacy, which obliged it to cou¬ ple inch negociation with that of an indemnity for Kin:: Ferdinand of Sicily. His Excellency Lord Caftlei'eagh addreffed further a despatch to Lord William Bentick, dated from Lijon, the 3d April, by which, in charging that miiifter to disavow in the name of the Briufli govern¬ ment, a pr >clamation of the court pf Sicily, circulated by the Sicilian •troops, disembarked at Leghorn, and tending to proclaim his pre¬ tentions to the kingdom of Naples, t 1 1 * * he declared at the fame time, that » * 0 the intention of the Engli/Ii Gov- eminent was to couple its Treaty with rhc King of Naples, with an arrangement of indemnity for King Ferdinand . of Sicily ; but that if the Sicilian Government \viihed to thwart its views, the ^Britifli Government, having ad- ;puttedfer ifsarmiftice the princi¬ ples of the treaty concluded bc- .tyeen the Courts of Naples and /Vienna, would deem itfoi reliev¬ ed from every condefcei.tion to¬ wards the com t of Sicily and even .deem itfeltforced to form irnmedi- "ately the treaty with the King of .

'ihis intimation, however, did . not produce the eH'ecl which the B^irifli Government ought to have expected from it, as the court of , Sicily has inceflantly. shewn the i ilrongeft oppofition to thefe views aft, fajrftfg that the treaties con- IJ^^^g^fiSfi! cmdedbet^uhef.u.contr^ ^^^ffite ought .

In fac"t, the allied Powers have never queftioned the validity of the engagements entered into by Auilria with the King of Naples, and it is well known that when the French plenipotentiaries pre- fented in the conferences at Cha- tiilion a counter project to the ul¬ timatum of the Allies, in which France pretended to difpofe of al- moft all Italy, the Plenipotentia¬ ries of the Ah led powers anfwer- ed her, that it did not belong to France to interfere in the affairs of the foecial fwor, and the parties lar regards which the KngWh com¬ merce and fubjects enjoy in the kingdom of Naples, as well as the facilities of every kind which the troops of his Britannic Majeity, ftationed in the Ionian iflinds, dai¬ ly received from the friencifhip of the Neapolitan government, Thus the laws of honor, and the true interefts of Great Britain e- qually concur in demonstrating the duty and the utility of an in¬ timate union between her and his Neapolitan Majeity. In confequence of theft poiifid- erations, the underfigned Miniflers Plenipoteatiary of Ms Majefty the King of Naples, requeit his Excel¬ lency Loud Caftlereagh, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of his dv Italy, of which the fate was alrea- fixed agreeably to the undcr- flandings and the engagements which had been entered into by the allied powers. According to thefe Ripulations and thefe folemn proimfes it would be injurious to the noble and gen-, erous characler of [lis Royal High¬ ness the Prince Regent of (norland and the fecurity of his minilters and the Englifh nation, to fuppofe that the dispofition of the Britifli Government towards the Kincr of Naples could have experienced a change without the Jeall provoca¬ tion on the paot of the Neapolitan Fovernraentj from this reaion al¬ one that the object which induced it to (eek the ahiance of the kins; of Naples has been fulfilled. His Majesty the K.ngof Naples has been very ufefu! to the coali¬ tion in general, by detaching him- felf from France, at the moment when he could have united his troops to the Fren. h army of Italy and acted upon the rear of th iied army.—He has been fo by In¬ direct operations which have iecu- red all Italy to the coalition ; and he has been ftiil more fo to Eng¬ land, as it enabled her from the C9 a!- "J anian.ee entered into with her to withdraw her troops from Sicily, Britannic Majefty, to have th goodnefs to proceed to the prompt concluhon of a definitive treaty of peace between the two crowns, which may forever fix their polit¬ ical relation and their commercial intereils, more efpecially as Eng¬ land has never, by any act, guar¬ anteed :he kingdom of Naples to King Ferdinand, whilft fhe has ef¬ fectually guaranteed it to King Jo¬ achim, by her adherence to the treaty of the i ith January, emitt¬ ing between the Courts of Naples and Vienna. His Neapolitan Majefty alfo flat¬ ters himfelf that the Britifli go¬ vernment, animated with the no¬ ble and generous defines of extin- guifhing in Europe all germs of diiTencions, will, in its wisdom?, endeavor to find means to bring about a better underftanding be¬ tween the courts of Naples and Sicily, his Neapolitan Majefty be¬ ing ready to concur in the arrange¬ ments which might be propofed for procuring to the court of Si¬ cily as a fuitable indemnity from the Rates, which being provision¬ ally occupied, and not being des¬ tined or promised by any treary, are at the difpofal of the Congrefs for the arrangements which are to complete the European pacifica¬ tion. i he uuderfigned have the hon¬ or to inform his Excellency Lord Caftlereaghj that they have addref- and to employ them ufefuilv in fed thc duplicate of the prefent the expedition of Genoa, and even N()te t0 IIls wighaei Prince De m America without this alliance coltiog her the fmaUefl fubfidy. His Neapolitan Majefty having by his own means, conquered all the territories of fouthern Italy, which he immediately reltored to their ancient fovereigus, keeping only a fmail part of the territory defttned by the Allies the?r,felves for the in¬ demnity llipulated in favor of his or crown by the treaty of the nth January laft.
