MANIFESTO
OF THE
Governinont of the Two Sicilies.
* Nafiss, Feb. 28.
The Constitutional Government of the
Two Sicilies against which the Congress at
La)bach has fulminated its anathemas, while
it prepares to repel the most violent aggres
sion of which history has ever made men
tion, desires also to appeal to the'opinion of
Europe and all civilized Nations, and that
every one may equally judge on which side
reason, and on which side is injustice in the
wsr, which, after five years of peace, is go
ing to break out in unhappy Italy. The
Government owes it to itself to make known
all the particulars which have conducted it
to the political situation in which it is at this
moment placed.
The wants of th’e people of the Two Si
cilies, the degree of civilization to which
it has attained, had called for many years for
a change in the internal system of the State.
At the beginning of July, 1820, the Consti
tution of Spain was demanded by the unani
mous voice of the Nation. The King ad*
hered to it, saving the modification proposed
by ih ■ llepresentatives of the Nation, who
were convoked principally for this purpose,
with the ob igation to respect the basis of
the ne w social compact. On the 15th of the
same month His Majesty swore to observe
it before the Provisional Junta ; and on the
19lb, the King made an official dommunica
tion of it to all the P'reign Powers with
whom he was on the terms of friendship.
Ever since their first movement, the spir
it of moderation, a scrupulous regard to the
independence of Institutions, and the rights
of other Nations, have formed the rule of
the conduct of the Neapolitan Government.
It proclaimed these maxims betore the
whole world, when it refused to interfere
in the affairs of Benevesto and Ponto Cor
vo, which had called for its i< terference.
Europe cannot doubt of the sincere desire
of tlit Government to live in peace and good
understanding with all others, if it exani
ints, without partiality, the conduct observ
ed towards Austria. Scarcely was the form
of our political regime changed, when the
first thought of the Comt of K iples was to
assure the Cabinet of Vienna, that such a
change could not, in any manner, impair
the situation and alliance existing between
the I'wn Sicilies. The first overtures hav
ing been rejected, the King setting aside
all resentment, repeated his assurances, sent
Ambas-adors, and in short attempted all
means of amicable communication ; but all
was m vain. So much harshness on the
part of Austria, was returned at Naples by
the greatest respect to the Legation, the
Consuls, ai d all the subjects of Austria.
Nevertheless the Court of Vienna, con
stantly alleging that our political reform
“ shook the foundations of the social edi
fice, that it proclaimed anarchy as a law,
that it menaced the safety of thrones, and t
that of recognized Institutions and the Iran- ’
quility of Nations,” urged with precipita
tion the most extraordinary preparations of
war in the Italian Mates, increased the gar
risons of Ferrara, Placentia, and Commachio,
and solicited all the Powers of Europe to
declare against the Neapolitan Government,
not to receive its Ministers, and to break off
all communication with it.
Ilis Majesty then ordered the Duke de
Campo Closro, his Secretary of State, Min
ister for Foreign A flairs, to demand of that
Court, hi Ins name, a categorical explanation
ol these extraordinary armaments, and of
the attitude w hich is assumed towards us ;
but this note, sent for that purpose to Prince
Mrtteruich, the very day when the King,on
opening the first session of theNarinnal Par
liament, renewed in the midst of it, the
oath to maintain the Constitution—this Note,
in which all the accusations directed against
our political reform were refuted, received
no answer.
In the interval, the sovereigns of Austria,
Huss.a. and Prussia, met at Troppau, with
their Plenipotentiaries, and thoae of France
ami England. The object of this meeting
was to take into consideration the affairs of
Naples, and its result to invite Ins Majesty
the k.ng, to repair to 'Laybach, to co ope
rate w ith the Allied Sovereigns on ” the
menus of conciliating the interests and the
happiness of hit people with the duties which
they were culied upon to fulfil towards their
onn Staten, and towards the world."
His Majesty acce| ted a mission, which was
proposed to him in the name of a tutelary
alliance, solely destined to guarantee the
political independence of all States. The
Parliament consented to the departure of
the Sovereign, and thus refuting the calum
nies spread respecting the state of constraint
in which the King was supposed to be, it
shewed the confidence which it placed in
its august delender. He departed, in fact,
attended by the prayers of the Nation, but
scarcely has he arrived at Laybach, when he
is deprived ot the Minister whom lie had
brought wi ll him, and threatened with a
disastrous war, to oblige him to adhere to -
the principles, and to the violent measures
already resolved at Troppau. All the
means he employ ato avert this misfortune
are fruitless. It was then that the Powers
assembled at Lay Inch took against the King,
dom of the I'wn Sicilies resolutions, which
at the utmost would be imposed after a
great number ol victories upon a vanquish
ed ami humbled nation, The Envoy of
Ku-sia and Pruss.a, and the Charge d’Affairs,
of Austria, communica-ed them to his ttoval
Highness the Hr■ nee Begem on the 9th"of
this month, and declared to him that an Aus
trian Army woo d advance to occupy the
Ncapnlr.au territory, unless the order of
things established since the 6th July be im
mediately abolished, snd that even if this
spontaneous suomtssion took place, the ar
my would still penetrate into the kingdom
to maintain the new order of things winch
it lias intended to establish there.
It was then that his Royal-Highness gave
to the diplomatic agents those nob.o answers
which alter having excited their admiration
and respect, produced in the Parliament an
enthusiasm which has commun.eated itself
to the hearts of all the Neapolitans. Every
body now know, that our magnanimous
Prince would not determine on any thing
tiU lie had consulted Uvr Deputies of the
Nation, to whom he communica td tin -o
proposals, that they might take such a re«o.
lution a> was most soluble in the difficult
situation in which the monarchy was plac
ed ; as to ti n.self, faithful to Ins oaths, he
protested that he wou'd share the fate <t
the nation, from which lie never could have
sc parated hi mscif.
1 I The extraordinary Parliament being then
1 convoked, declared in the memorable sitting
of the 15th, that it was riot able to consent
to any of the pAposals ; that it considered
f his Majesty under restraint ; that during
such a state of thimM his Royal Highness
the Duke of Calabt t should continue to ex
ercise the Regency ; and, lastly, that all
measures should be taken for the safety of
the State.
Public opinion had already anticipated
these determinations. The Prince Regent,
bound by a sacred oath to maintain the Con
stitution, which is now a fundamental law of
monarchy, has sanctioned them ; he has
'bought he should thus best fulfil the duties
imposed upon him, as much towards the na
tion whose destinies are confided to him, as
towards the King, his august father, whose
interest cannot be separated from that of his
people.
Meantime, hostile to the social compact,
which, by the beneficence of our King,
torms the palladium of the monarchy of the
the Court of Vienna pretends
to abolish it, because a nation regenerated
to liberty and independence, does not yield
to its will; it lias employed -every means to
make it believed that the interest of its po
licy is that of F.tirope, and has sworn utter
1> to overturn all our internal organizations.
Already its troops are advancingfor this pur
pose towards the national frontiers, already
the sword is stained with blood, and mena
ces Europe with a war winch has no paral
lel, directed against constitutional ideas and
the independence of nations.
It could not have been feared, that those
same armies which were united a short time
ago in the name of social order so deliver
Europe trom oppression, would march a
gainst a nation which cannot be reproached
with any infraction of tjie law of nations,
and winch, without exciting* troubles among*
any of its neighbors, without offending le
gitimacy, and even professing the most res
pectful veneration for its Sovereign and Ins
august dynasty, is persevermgly engaged in
ameliorating its internal administration.
1 he Powers of the second rank must see in
what happens to the Kingdom.of Naples the
imminent danger which threatens them.
On the day when our cause shall be raised,
the independence, Ilia liberty of Europe
will slure the same late. But 'a cause pro
tected ny justice and public opinion, a cause
winch interests all wise Governments, and
all Nations who (eel their dignity, a cause
which will be defended by ttie whole Nation,
whose wishes have expressed themselves on
this occasion with such unanimity, such a
cause must triumph. Despair will comoat
against lorce ; lie who defends the constitu
tional laws and independence of the coun
try, he who combats the foreigner who comes
to tub him ol the first, and to tread the se
cond under loot, is not always the weakest.
Ihe Neap ditan Government, though it
has provoked no one, though it has oppos
ed thejioble attitude of moderation to the
multiplied outrages which have been lavi? i
ed upon those who conspired its truth, is
now attacked by an Aus :-ian Army, which
pretends to impose laws upon it; but since
neither Russian nor Prussian troops, are
marching towards our frontiers, it is o: ly to
the Austrian Government we are obliged to
- oppose Hie resistance which our own de
fence requires. However, his Royal Highness
flatters hiuiselt that the august Monarch-, as
sembldat Layhach, seeing the noble feelings
winch unite the inhabitants of the Two
Sicilies, am* tlfeir unanimous deterininat-on
to deiend the liberties and the honor of
their nation, will renounce yieir prejudices,
and wilt leave at peace a generous people,
who desire only to enjoy the benefit ol its
new political system, under the protection
ol the Constitutional and legitimate throne ;
a people which, during a period of seven
months, has shewn that noble attitude and
that respect to theiKing and to the Royal
Family, which have made Europe judge it
to be worthy ot liberty ; a people, in fi ie,
which, taking no share in the affairs of
oilier nations, have sorely a r+glit to ex
pect that no one should interfere in its con
cerns. Ilis Koyal Highness batters himself
that all the other Powers ot Europe, not
concerned in the present content, will con
tribute by their persuasion and good of
fices to put an end to the disasters in which
the scourge of war, ready to fall upon our
Country, threatens to involve humanity. If
the fire is kindled in the South of the Italian
1 enaula, who is there that must not fear the
consequences? and who can say where its
dreadlui ravages will slop ?
U Unhappily a war of extermination can
not be avuided, the Prince Regent and his
august brother will place themselves at the
head of the Neapolitan Army, and will com
bat with it to the last extremity against the
foreign invasion, invoking the aid of the
Supreme Arbiter of Empires, who pro
tecta, innocence and right, and punishes
abuses of force, injustice, and oppression.

The Catholic Hill was read a second time
in the House of Commons on the 16th of
March. Mr. Wilberforoe was a warm ad
vocate for the measure, as was also Mr. Can
ning, and Sir J. Mackintosh. Messrs. Scott,
Uaukes, Peel, and Bathurst opposed the Biff.
It was finally carried by 24i to 243.—Mr.
Canning is said to have concluded a speech
of great am,nation and eloquence, by assert
ing that the way in which the Catholics had
been treated w as such, that they might just
ly apply to them the well-known lines:
“ When late 1 attempted your pity to move,
You turn'd a deaf ear to my prayers ;
Perhaps you were right to dissemble your
love.
But why did you kick me down stairs ?”
Many petitions had been presented to
• Parliament against the bill removing tile Ci
vil Disabilities of the Roman Catholics. Phis
j bill excites great interest in Eng snu and
I Ireland, Its real object, says Mr Peel, is to
I put the Roman Catholic* on the same foot.
I ing as the Protestants of the Church ol En
gland. He aske 1 what were the details of
the measure > I .rst, said lie, “ there was an
, alteration of the Oath of Supremacy, as it
I hx.l been administered for 3od years. The
necessary consequence of that alteration
. was, the admission of some sort of spiritual
authority on the part ot the Pope. Now,
,ras it not of importance that the house
•hould have time to consider to what degree
ttie interference of the Pope ought to be
legs'...led ! Tlieii, as to tiie details of ’.lie 1
bill, they were most important. The bill
professed to carry into effect the principle
of the bill of 1313, but the details were en
tirely different. The bill of 1813 did not
touch the declaration of Transubstantiation,
the present measure did it away.” Mr.
Wynn corrected Mr. Peel in his remark
that the Oath of Supremacy had been ad
nj'iistered for 300 yea s. He said it was not
100 years old, dating its origin from the
reign of George the First. “ The only al
teration proposed was, embodying in the
oath the explanation, which in the bill was
at present annexed to it.” After further
debate the bill was postponed to the Friday
following.

Hank Cash I’auments.—The Chancellor of
the Exctu goer brought forward his measure
to enable tue Bank to resume cash payments
at an earlier period than that prescribed by
the existing law. His intention was to ena- I

i lay next, so that the return to cash pay
ments, which was to be entire and absolute
in May, 1J.3 might be entered upon imme
diately, and rendered more gradual bv this
previous introduction of some portion of
metallic money into the provinces. At the
same time, he certainly did hope that one
pouml limes would shortly be issued ex

COPY OF A LONDON HANDBILL—IB2I
- minutes advice to young Tradesmen.
1. Whatever your trade may be, never
be ashamed of it, or above it.
2. Do not disdain to keep company with
people of your own class ; but rather court
their acquaintance : the conversation of men
of trade brings trade—men first talk toge.
ther then deal together.
3. Without diligence and application no
trade can be successful or honorably carried
on.
4. Never trade beyond your stock, or
give or take too large a credit. Better slip
a bargain now and then, than buy a greater
quantity of goods than you can pay lor.
5. Should your affairs go wrong in spite
of all your care and diligence, break in
time. IF you can pay ten shillings, do not
effect to remain whole until you cannot pay
ten pence. ’
6. The cruelty of creditors is always in
prdportion to the dishonesty of debtors :
7. A well assorted and well chosen col.
lection of goods, is prefarable to a shop en.
tirely filled with an Irhmense quantity.
8. The retail tradesman, and tradesmen
in gener I, must lay in a great stock of pa.
tience ; they must conquer their passions,
and endeavor to weather the storm of im.
patience.
9 Pleasures and diversions when fre.
quent, are generally fatal to young trades,
men, especially those diversions, which are
deemed innocent, such as horses, dogs and
races.
10. For the first five or six years, a trades.
man ought to consider himself as worth no.
! or a8 having no money which can be
taken out nf the business, and spent in the
luxuries of life.
11 Profusion in expenses, living like your
neighbors, and mimicking the manners of
! high life, are paths which lead directly to
I bankruptcy.
12. In the employment of the holy days,
he sure that exercise is your only object,
He that rides ten miles, and drinks two hot.
ties of wine, will not find his health greatlv
lmproved.
13. Trust as little to servants as possible,
and this caution may be observed without
depriving them of a just and proper degrea 4
of confidence. 6
14. Idle servants are rarely honest ones.
\ ” a servant has a taste for dress, rather cor*
rect and moderate it, than prohibit it alto,
gether.
15. Trust nothing to speculation, and
avoid all paper money schemes to deceive
the public and uphold a false credit.
16. In general avoid partnership; at all
times avoid them if you are not perfectly
acquainted with the temper, disposition aruj
! character of your partner.
17. If you discover that your partner is 4
scheemer or gambler in the funds, lottery

marriage.
There are at Baris three or four offices
for marriage, and large sheets are pasted
up in public places, containing advertise
ments to this effect—some of these adver
tisements are very curious. They are extract
ed from a journal called the Mediator, and
which is confined to the subject of matri
mony, and the negnciation between parties
anxious to enter into that state, who may
not have had an opportunity of any per
sonal acquaintance.
Advertisements.— A young lady, aged 18,
fresh and beautiful as a rose, and endowed
with all the graces and talents which in
crease the charm of beauty, but without for
tune in consequence of the disasters which W
have happened to her parents, is offered by ”
them to a man of sensibility, wh.o would
share with her a decent existence.
A lady, aged 40, enjoying good heath, and
an income of 2000 francs, wishes to marrv ,
a bachelor about her own age, of a healthy
constitution, with a decent income, and
sufficient gaiele to drive away, cage in the
long winter evening*.
A girl, aged 25, horn in the country, and
of simple manners, though she has lived in •
Paris for six months, wishes to find a .hus
band m the working class—she has ho for
tune, but a very handsome trousseau, and
some ready money ; nor does she wish for
fortune, but health, talents, sobriety and
probity, and would prefer a husband occu
pied in sedentary labour ; .she is singularly
handsome, and in the most complete health.
