Austrian Declaration.
After a long scries of political
storms the kingdom of Naples was,
in the year 1815, restored, by the
assistance ol the Austrian amis, to
the paternal government of its legi
timate King; the two portions ol
the Sicilian Monarchy which had
been so long separated, were again
united, and the wishes of all well
disposed persons were gratified by
the happy prospect of durable re
pose. The latter period of the fo
reign government had, however,
revived an internal enemy, more
dangerous than any other, to the re
pose of the Italian peninsula. There
existed in the kingdom ol Maple , as
well as in other States of Italy, a
sect working in darkness, whose
chiefs continued to meditate the o
srerthrow of a.I the Italian Govern
ments, as the first step towards the
execution of the extravagant plans,
in which they were engaged.
At the moment when Murat, in
order to support his tottering throne,
conceived the desperate project of
conquering Italy, despair inspired
him with the idea of calling to his
aid those same Carbonari whom he
had more than o.icc combated, and
whose cumin I intrigues acquired
from that time an influence, which,
without the asssistance of this un
locked for alliance, they would per
haps never have obtained.
The vigilance of the Royal Go
vernment, the zeal with which it ein
ployed itself in promoting essential
improvements in alt the branches of
the administration, the general af
fection borne to the Sovereign, whose
paternal goodness to him the hearts
of his subjects, rendered abortive
all the enterprises of this sect dur~
ing the first years which followed the
restoration; and perhaps, like soma
iu other secret associations, it would
hive insensibly become powerless
■and have fallen into oblivion, if the
c.ents which took place in the king
dom of Spain, at the commencement
of the year 1820, had not given it a
freak impulse. From this moment its
audacity redoubled, and, assisted by
the contagious fanaticism which it
excited, it soon increased so much in
numbers and in influence, that the
laws and the aulhoriy of the execu
tive were no longer sufficiently pow
erful to suppress it. It disseminat
ed with indefatigable industry, n
midst all classes of the people, till
then tranquil and moderate in their
desires, u spirit of discontent and
bitternsss, dispositions hostile to
their government, and a passionate
desire for political innovation. It
succeeded at length in corrupting a
portion of the army; and assisted by
this most criminal of all its measures
this sect caused the revolution to
break out in the first days of tlie
mouth of July-
It is impossible to give a more ex
act or more authentic account of this
explosion, than that which is con
tained in the circular dispatch ad
dressed by the new Minister for Fo
reign Affairs on the day on which he
entered upon his functions, to the di
plomatic agents of Naples at Foreign
■Courts.
4 * On the nights of the. Ist and 2d
(it is stated in this Dispatch) the
greatest part, of the Royal Regiment
of Cavalry of Bom bon quitted it*
quarters nt Nola, ami raised a tri
colour standard, with the inscrip
tion—‘Long live the Constitution!’
Tlie colours were those of the Sect
of the Carbonari, which, for some
time past, had Kept up a fermenta
k tion in the kingdom, and had de
rm uded with earnestness a Consti
tutional form of Government. This
Be.ct had made so many proselytes in
the army of the king, that the troops
sent to reduce to submission those
who bad deserted at Nola, made
common cause with them. The de
sertion of these troops, and of some
regiments of the garrison ot Naples,
some simultaneous movements in
the Provinces and lastly, tlie insub
ordination of some duels of districts,
proved to his majesty that the wish
of the people was to obtain a Consti
tutional Government. In conse
quence whereof the King published
a proclamation, announcing that in
eight days he would make public the
basis of a Constitution. ,
The first advantage was only (he
prelude of a more decisive attack On
the next day the chiefs of the revolt
forced tlie king to proclaim the Spa-,
nish Constitution; and without any
otner preparatory measure, they
caused his majesty, his ministers and
functionaries, and Ids troops, to take
* solemn oath to (hat constitution,
'* lQ the midst of disorders and .
‘ •• .Lliared w oc the tun- 1
lameatal law of the kingdom. <
la signing promise, the
king had made a great sacrifice to I
tlie agitation which prevailed; and i
although Ids majesty could not but be i
aware how inconsiderate and inex
cusable was die project of forming a
constitution in eight there .re
mained to him at least the hope, that
more calm and wiser resolutions
would succeed to the effervescence
of the moment. But every appear
ance changed, when, after this first
concession, a constitutional act was
offered for the immediate acceptance
of tlie King, drawn up eight years
before in a foieign country, under
aupiecs particularly difficult and dis
astrous. An act of which neither
the King nor his Ministers, nor any
Neapolitan, with the exception ot a
few conspirators, had any know
ledge, except by extracts from news
papers; and of which, at the moment
of its proclamation, there did not
exist even a translation at Naples.
This step bore too clearly the
marks of its origin, and of the crimi
nal means which could alone insure
its success, for the least doubt to re
main as to the position of the Mon
arch or of tlie Slate. Such a con
cession, committing equally the dig
nity of Ihe Sovereign, and the des
tines of the country, could not be
wrung from his Majesty by other
means than those of violence and
menace. The desire of providing
1 against greater evils, and ol prevent
ing commission of dreadful crimes,
could alone induce the King to con
sent at the moment to so fatal a mca
sure. This explanation of an event,
inexplicable in any other sense,
would carry with it itsown confirma
tion, even were it not otherwise es
tablished by Irrefragable proofs.
The great blow being thus given,
ami (be Royal authority entirely de
stroyed, the chiefs of the sect of
their principal associates in th« first
scenes of the revolt, immediately
took upon themselves exclusive do
minion. The resistance which the
kingdom of Sicily opposed to their
arbitrary enterprises, was crushed
in blood and in ruins. In order to
give to their usurpation a color of le
gality, they soon created, under the
title of a National Parliament, an
instrument, by means of which, in
the space of a few months, they over
tuned all existing rights, and all
the bases of public order; and thro’
which, without any other power but
their arbitrary will, they substituted,
in (be room of the ancient civil and
political laws of the two Kingdoms,
institutions perfectly unknow n,sanc
tioned by no experience, and which
were no less in contradiction to the
character than to the wants of the na
tion.
The King, unable to consider a
state of things so unnatural, asjlikcly
to he of long duration, persuaded
at the same time that untimely op
position would only draw down new
perils upon his family, ami his
country, supported with resignation
(his cruel lot, which he had in no
wise merited. All the enlightened
inhabitants of the country, the great
est part too of (hose who, sttluced by
the vain hope of a more fortunate
termination, had at first favored the
Revolution,but who had subsequent
ly become convinced ot the pernici
ous effects of a system, which the
ruling party had established as most
suited to their particular interests
of the country—all these wcre.cou
doomed to silence.
The mass of the people soon reco-.
vered from (heir ephemeral enthusi
asm, and grieved to sec tln ir hopes
deceived; and-discouraged by vogue
forebodings of the calamities which
menaced the u, they awaited in si
lent uneasiness the final issue of the
crisis. Thus is to be explained (hat
apparent tranquility under cover of
which the Parliament, power ess in
itself and subject to the control of a
■small number ot despots ready to
attempt every thing, conducted the
kingdom .towards its inevit
able dissolution; a tranquility which
did not prevent the most unbridled
anarchy from swallowing up me
last remains of public prosperity,
and the true character of which
could not be misunderstood by any
Foreign Government.
The events at Naples had produc
ed a strong sensation throughout tlie
whole nt Italy. A Revolution,
plotted by obscure fanatics, and com
pleted by perjured soldiers, who in
a few days deprived a King of his
power and his liberty, and plunged
two kingdoms in the abyss of disor
der, necessarily inspired, whatever
its ulterior dcvclopement might be,
the most serious apprehensions in all
the neighboring Gevernmnets. The
maxims loudly proclaimed by the
authors of this revolution; the facili
vty with which these maxims were
circulated, by words and by writings
in all parts ol Italy ; the daily con
versations nt their foreign accom
plices; all these tilings tended to
augment the pressure of these appre
hensions. No Italian Sovereign
could conceal from himself that the
internal peace and prosperity of his
States were manaced equally by the
■example and the results of aa over
throw which attacked the social i
edifice in its deepest foundations. :
The Emperor was aware from the <
first moment, that there would be an I
end of order and tranquility in Italy ’
for a length of time, if the chiefs i
and the ' fomenters of a revolt, ;
which nothing could justify and no- 1
thing could excuse, were permitted '
with impunity to sacrifice the Monar
chy of the two Sicilies to their insane (
projects. His Imperial Majesty,pe- i
nctrated with a sense of what he ow
ed to the preservation and security
of his Kmpire, to the protection ol
his faithful ami happy people, to his
amicable relations with the Princes
of Italy, and to his position in tiie
general political system of Europe.,
hastened to take in asures tor stop
ping the further progress of these
disorders, and to make manifest at
the same time, withour reserve, the
line which he had decided to follow
with respect to the Revolution ol Na
ples. However painful it was to his
Imperial Majesty to impose an unex
pected and considerable change upon
his finances, at a mouent when he hue!
hoped to have b' j en enabled to turn
his whole attention to interior ame
lioration, and when the continued
execution of the plans formed by the
Administration piomised the most
beneficial results—all secondary con
siderations gave way to the execu
tion of the most sacred of his dutiej.
In the situation in which affairs
were, (he assembly of a “ corps d’-
ariffee” in the Italian provinces was
a measure of (he highest necessity ;
it was acknowledged as such by eve
ry well-thinking man in Austria ami
Europe. The salutary effect which
this measure has had in tranquilizing
the neighboring States—that which
it has produced even at Naples, in
encouraging the friends,and discon
certing the - ncmies of order, is now
unanimously felt in the whole extent
of the Italian peninsula.
His Majesty at the same moment
repaired to Troppau, to deliberate
in person with his august Allies,
upon a question of the greatest im
portance, not only to Italy—not to
the Austrian Monarchy alone, but
to the common safety of Europe.
These deliberations did not happily
leave any doubt as to .the manner
in which the Allied Courts regarded
the origin and character of the re
volution of Naples, and the danger
with which it .menaced other states.
With respect to the resolutions
which such a state of things called
for, if particular and weighty con
sideration induced the British gov
ernment not to take part in those of
the oilier Courts, and caused the
Cabinet of France to accede to them
only under certain restrictions, the
Emperor had the satisfaction to find
himself perfectly in unison on every
question with the sovereigns of Ru
sia and Prussia; and to convince
himself at the same time that the
differcices of position and action be
tween the powers of Europe would
not give rise to any difference as to
the basis of their alliance, and as to
the general uniformity of principles
and views.
The sovereigns assembled at Trop
pau, though decided not to acknow
ledge the changes which force ami
revolt had operated ot Naples, and
to pnt an end by a common effort to
the results of these changes, were
nevertheless sincerely animated with
(he ardent desire of obtaining these
objects by pacific means, and with
all the indulgence due to a country
already distracted by so many con
vulsions and calamities. It was in
this spirit that they invited his Sici
lian majesty to meet them at Lay
bach, in order to deliberate with
them upon the situation, present
and fmurc, of his kingdom. This
itr. it ition was supported by his ma
jesty (iie king of France.
According to an arti 1c of the for
eign code, which was to become that
of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies,
the monarch cannot pass the fren
tiers of Ids state without the consent
of the Parliament. The king, look
ing upon the invitation of (he sir/-
ereigns as a blessing necessity. The
Parliament consented, but it attach
ed to its consent a condition, to (lie
effect of which the Instigators of this
measure could not he blind, and
which destroyed beforehand the pros
pects and ttic hopes of moderate
men.
T.ic parliament, although com
pletely acquainted with (he princi
pb’s of the Allied Cabinets, imposed
upon the King, (he command to in
sist upon the maintainaricc, without
modification, of the constitution at
present c# tab!i.-«lied -at Naples—and
to put that condition forward as (he
sole object— and only basis of Ids
explanations with the Allied Powers.
It is under such auspices as these, i
and having nothing to rely on but the
justice and the wisdom of his august
friends, that the king of Naples i
came to Laybach. From (he mo- i
i ment of his arrival in this place, his
majesty had reason to feel convinced i
that it Would be vain to attempt to i
found any proposition upon a basis <
irrevocably rejected by the Allied i
Sovereigns. '
The Sovereigns declared in effect
to his Majesty, their firm determia-
•
ation not to allow the continuance of f
a system which had been forced up- i
on the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, t
by a faction without a name and i
without authority, and by.means the
most criminal; a system incompat j
able with the' security of the neigh- c
boring, states, and with the preser- I
vatinn of the peace of Europe.
That if this state of things did not 1
end, as their Majesties earnestly and t
sincerely hope it might do, by a 1
spontaneous disavowal on the part i
of those who exercised the power at 1
Naples; it would be necessary to -
have recourse to arms; that as soou .
as by cither of these means, this
great obstacle to the peace ol Na
ples and of Italy should have disap
peared; the Sovereigns would look
upon their task as accomplished. —
That it would then be for the King ,
alone, enlightened by the councils >
of the most noncst and able men of
his kingdom, to provide for the
strength and stability of his Govern
ment, upon a just and wise system,
in conformity with the permanent
interests of tne two people united
under his sceptre; and which Govern
ment from this very circumstance
should hold out to all the neighbor
ing states a sufficient guarantee of
their safety and tranuqility.
After such precise declarations,
the King of Naples could not dissem
ble to himself. that, as every other
question was irevoc.ibly set aside, he
had, as the Father and Protector of
his people, but one task to fulfil—
that of preserving the loyal and •' ell
meaning majority of his subjects
from the dangers and calamities
of a war brought on by the blind ob
stinacy, or (he culpable ambition of
certain individuals.
In this conviction it was that his
majesty addressed to his son, the
presumptive heir to his throne, a
bank and partenal letter, for (he
purpose of representing to him the
importance of the circumstances, and
the necessity of employing, for the
safety of the Kingdom, all the means
which might be at his command.
The expression of these pacific sen
timents of the King was accompa
nied by more explicate instructions,
issued by the Cabinets of Austria,
Russia, and Prussia, to their diplo
matic Agents at Naples ; and the
Plenipotcntaries of Ins Majesty the
King of France likewise sent in
structions to the Charge d*Affairs of
their Sovereign. The effect of these
important measure# must decide the
impending fate of the Kingdom of
the Two Sicilies.
In this state of tilings the array des
tined to carry into effect the decis
ions taken at Laybach, has received
orders to cross the Po, and to march
towards the Neapolitan frontiers.
It is repugnant to the feelings of hi-.
Imperial Majesty to suppose that
this army can meet with any serious
resistance. None but the enemies
of the public w elfare, the incurable
partisans of a system, leading at
once to the ruin of the Sicilian Mon
archy, can mistake what, under the
circumstances in which that Mon
archy is now placed, is owing by
every loyal soldier, and every man
attached to his country, to his rov
ercign, and to the safety of his fellow
citizens.
The great tnassof the nation devo
ted to its Monarch, disgusted with
an imaginary liberty, which has on
ly produced the severest tyranny,
and tried of a disturbed and precar
ious existence, concious likewise,
for some lime past, of the just and
benevolent intentions by which the
Emperor is animated, will receive
with confidence those, who, in the
name oflns Imperial Majesty, and
of his august Allies, came to offer
feace, friendship and protection,
f this just hope should not be real
ized, tiie army will know how to
surmount the difficulties which may
impede its progress; and if, country
to all calculations, and country to
the fondest hopes of the Allied Mon
archs,an enterprise 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 pro
tected for an indefinite time, his
Majesty the Emperor of ail the Rus- i
sians, always faithful to his principles,
convinced of the necessity of strug
gling against an evil so serious, and ‘
guideC by that noble and constant
friendship, of which he has lately
bestowed so many precautions tokens
on the Enipcor, would have lost no 1
time in joining his forces to those of 1
Austria. j
In the whole of the transactions i
which have just taken place, the I
Monarchshave only had in view
the safety of the State they are call
pci upon to govern, and the tranquil- ®
ity of the world. *
This is the secret of their policy; v
no other thought, no other interests, ti
no other questions, has fonnd a place "
in the deliberations of the Cabinets.
The inviolability of all established -
rights, the independence of all legi
timate Governments, (he integrity
of all those possessions, these are
thefiase from which their resolutions
wii (never deviate. n
The Monarchs will have obtained a
the summit of the wishes, and will be
fully rewarded fer all their efforts
if it should b* possible to insure on
these foundations tranquilities in the
interior of States, the rights ot
Thrones, and the true liberty and
prosperity of nations, blessings with
out which external peace itself could
have neither value nor duration.
They will bless the period whe,n, set
free from all other causes of aneiiety.
they can devote exclusively to the
happiness of their subjects all the
means and the power which have
been conferred upon them by Hea

MY SWEET LIFE:
Now that I have declared to you my
mind for settling' your estate, I suppose
that it were best for me to think, and
consider within myself, what allowance
were meetest for me; for, considering
what care I ever had for your estate, ana
how respectifoly I dealt with those, (which
both by the laws of God, of nature, of
civil policy, art, religion, government
and honesty.) you, my dear, are bound
to ; I pray and beseech you to grant me,
your most kind and loving wife, the sum
of 2600/. (sterling) quarterly to be paid.
Also, I would, beside that allowance,
have 600/ quarterly to be paid, for char
itable works: and those things 1 would
not, neither will be, accountable for.
Also I will h ave three horses fop my own
saddle, that none shall dare to lend or
borrow but you. Also I would have two
gentlewoman lest one should be sick, or
have some other let. Also believe it, it
is an indecent thing for a gentlewomen
to stand mumping alone, when Gird hath
blessed their lord and lady with a great
estate. Also, when I ride a hunting or
hawking, I wiil have them attending, so,
for either of those said women I must
and wil have, for either of them, a horse.
Also, I will have six or eight gentlemen;
«nd I will u*ve my two coaches, one
lined with velvet for myself, and four very
fair horses, and a coach for my women;
lined with cloth and laced with gold, with
four good horses. Also I would have two
coachmen—-one for my own coach
and one for ray women. Also, at any
time when 1 travel, I will be allowed n„t
only carroches and spare horses, for me
and my women, but I will have suck
carriages as are fitting for all, orderly,
net pestering my things with ray women’s,
nor theirs with chamber maids, nor theirs
with wash-maids. Also, for laundresses,
when I travil, 1 will have them sent away
with the cariuges to see all safe. And
the chamber-maids shall go before, that
the chambers be ready, sweet, and clean.
Also, that it is indecent to crowd myself
in a coach with my gentleman usher, 1
will have him to have a convenient horse
toaitondme, either in city or country.
Audi must have too footmen. And my
do si re is, that you defray all these char
ges for me. And for myself, beside* my
yeaily allowance, I would have twenty
gowns of apparel six of them excellent
good ones, eight for the country, and six
other very excellent good ones. Alse«, 1
would have to put in my purse, 2,00Ql
and 2Q01; and also, that you shall pat my
debts. Also, 1 would have 6000/. to buy
me pearls. Now, seeing I an so healon
able unto you, I pray you to find my
children their apparel and their school
ing, and all my servants, men and wo
men, with wages, Also Iw ill have all my
houses furnished, and my lodging rooms
to be suited with furniture as is fit, as
beds, stools chairs, suitable cushions, car
pets, silver warming pans, cupboards of
plates, fair hangings, and such like. So,
for my drawing chambers in all my hous
es, 1 will have them delicately furnished
with hanging, cannopy, couch, glass, car
pets, chairs and cushions, and all things
thereto belonging. Also, my earnest de
sire is that you will pay all your debts,
build up Ashby House, and purchase
lands, and lend-no money to the Lord
Chamberlain, who would have all, and
perhaps your life from you. Remember
Ins son, the Lord Walden, what enter
tainment he gave mo, when you were at
tile Tily-yard. If you were dead, he said
he would be a husband, and a father, and a
brother to me, and said he would marry
me. I protest i grieve to see the poor
man have so little wit and honesty, to use
his friends so vilely Also, he fed me
with untruths concerning the Charter-
House ; hut that is the least; he wished
me much harm—you know how. God
keep me and you from him, and any such
as he is, ,
So now that I have declared to you
what it is 1 -would have, and what it is 1
would not have, 1 pray you, when you be
an Earl, ycu will allow me 2,0017. more
than I now desire, and double attendance.
Your loving wife,
ELIZA COMPTON.
