The blefjings of Bri tijh alliance which this letter ipeaks of, Sicily has felt % and could flic be allowed to {peak, it. would be in a very different tone.

There items to be something in the na f tional character which for bids their exerciiine doim o ! nion with any degree of j moderation.

[iiatioc*! Advocate. Intercepted Letter from Lord William Bcntir.ck to Lari Eaiburjl, bcc. 1 [Secrc. and feparatc.] Bali m>o. t :'b. 24 h, I S 13 . 1 My Lord, I have the honor to en close the copy of a letter from madarne Murat to Na j Bonaparte, intercep i ted by the Ruffians,and lent jto me by Mr. Li don. Ic was written at the time when I promoted to make an at i tack upon Itctiy. I feci great fatisfacKon in this document from the jus tification which I truit it will afford in your Jordfhip’s: opinion of rhe meilure which i had at the time in j contemplation. It proves, j I think, completely, tfie jultice of the ; rounds upon j which that expedition was projected. It pioves, shat in the kingdom of Napies at lead, there was at that time a veiy inccnfiueiable force; i that ihere existed in the country confideiabie agita tion ; that the government ! were appiehenlive of the effects even es ademondra i tion only, upon the minds of j the people ot the capital, j aud mat they were in gene- 1 ral not tranquil as to their, iituation. It is my belief! that the projected attack would nave been fuccelsful; j that if fuccebful, the wliole 'of Italy would have been efervtd from the yoke ot j ! France, and r-the m.i't, 1 I / HOLD THE MIRROR UP to naTurB— Siakespeare. — ■ - 1 111 ededlual divcrlion would j have been made in favor of * Spain and Ruifii. It had been prcvioufi/ decided by ins majclly’s government to »ivc cxclu live'y every poflible aid io j Spain. Your lordship ap j proved my final determina tion to lend the expedition to its original declination. It is my duty now to Hate, that, in my judgment, the liquation of Italy, and ' ct Naples, is infinitely more , iavoraoie to attack than even in ihe l ill year. We h- -c. intelligence that tne corps j ot obicrv.uion of Grenier t$ 1 very much reduced j that : the force of CaUbiia lus i been diuiinilhcd, and that | the difeontent is the fame, i It appears that every cxer [ti n? is making by Italy a*; ; well as by every part of Eu ! rope, fubjeCft to France, to recruit - the armies in the north. The fuccels of the i Rumun arms, and the luffer | ings of the French armies, j canntot fail to have aided to the difgtul that every na tion, and particularly the Italians, mud teel in a cii ‘mate so little cong nial to their feelings,and ii a cause so entirely unconnected with their intereds. While such ! is the date of Italy, .>ur po sition in Sicily continue'?, though slowly, to improve, j Ihe Sicilian army is in a j much better (late of equip ment and of diipothion The ho (tile party is reduced I in numbers and in power.— The conditution is begin ning to take effect in Sicily, and this example of the fuc | cefstul edablilhment of lib | erty mud form an advanta gcou« contrail between the benefits of French and Bri tish alliance, and mud ani m te other countries with ; the uefire and hopes of cb- 1 turning the fame bhffngs. It is curious to remark, in j ! the letter from madame Mu rat, the immet«fe force fur nished by Naples, fr>m 1 whence a judgment may be - formed of the refourres I ; drawn by Bonaparte from j h:s Italian doiniurons. Ido j not imagine that, including 1 Calabria, there are in tire kingdom of Naples above I 20,000 men. 1 beg leave to observe that i I am merely representing, | for the information of his f majedy’s mini tiers, that j which I confider to be | pradib'e if the difpofible \ 1 force in the Mediterranean i , could be so appropiiatc *. by the date of Spain— of lord I Wellington’s pians, whether the presence of the corps detached from hence to Al icant is iuaifpfnfable, to en- j able him eithei to resume j ffcnfjve orer-Jtioror ».-> j t j maintain the dcfenecof Por. | tugal. Os all the circum* dances, in fhort.upon which fucli & quedton mud imme diately depend, I am totally ignorant ; of these and ol trie leh.tive advantage of the * application of our force, J lord Wellington mud be the j bed ar.d only judge. I dull ! lend to bis a copy of this sjifpatch. It appeals to ine, that the j due ot Europe affords a veil founded hope that the dedruction of Bonaparte mav Lc accomplilhed. It is at tne fame time 1 cl ear, that the efforts already I made are not fufficieut and cannot be so. Kuffu has indeed been f jccefsful, but her luccefs has been of a negative kind. She has had the disadvantage io all licr ba.tics with the French, when failly met. Bonaparte nas been beat by the cold and famint, not by the Ruf fian arms. Had Ruffu, on the. contrary, defeated the French in her lird engage- j ments, and diiven her back to the Oder, as a conquering enemy, then the downfall might have been produced bv Russia, and by the red of Germany, that would have joined her dandard. But it ftnkes me, that Russia has ! nearly con.c to the term of i her advantages over Bona parte. She has not the means of carrying on an of. [ teoiive war againd p'rance ; I without money, that great f j army mud fubfid upon the country, and with tlie new and poor composition of the officers, with the plundering ’ habits of the whole, their prefcncc mud be a curfc to the country, and mud create general ddgud. Autlria it, in my opinion, the only power in Europe that has; 1 the science ami experience j nccedury to carry on an of lenlive war againd PTance. j If (he wou.d now join Russia J success inigh* be conf.dered ; a> certain. The great pow er ot Russia is, in my judg ment, deteniive only. T he brilliant ol Spain, no doubt, have oper ated as a mod powerful di- j vcifion for Russia j and Bo naparte appearing unw.lling to abandon it for the pre lent, the occupation cf so large a Fiench force mud contribuf# edcntially to the great object in view. But such must be the reduced j date of Spain, her country , i exhauded, her resources un produ .'.ivc, her government umnantgeble, that were it not for the individual pre sence of brd Wcllingtc.i, 1 and tor the effect ot his won- j j dvrful iuducncc and abilities 1 i ! even her liberation -would | 1 |he rcjßJ.isa *-• nod dcf- 1 Iterate and mt o t » •. t Iff cm s nerriT v, mere iore, that a g’caier part or the populati .•» oi Ejro t »e diouU be brought into c » field agmdt tins common enemy.
