The glorious services which she has rendered in Vic last war, give her the most eminent claims on our gratitude. But a still noire poweifol• motive exists in the necessity of considering the Monarchy as the only solid basis of atty at rangement with a view to secure the North of Germany from the iminimait daogers with whit:lilt might be exposed. In such a crisis it is over Plussia that it is our duty to ' Watch. We must smite our Garee with her's, and in this view, it is nee, vary that Prussia-. be substantial and strong, possessing all the attrilontem of an Ind pendent state capable of making herself re spected, and nt inspiring her fiends with ci,nfidence. With regard to the question of Saxony, I declare to yon, that if the ineorpotathm of the whole of that country with the Prussian Monarchy be neces sary Jou the attainincot of an object so important for Europe, what ever pain I must personally emit Helier from'the idea of seeing an ancient family in such a state of affliction, I should entertain no ob jection, either moral or political, against _the measure itself. If ever a sovyr e i g n was placed by his own acts in a sititatiun to be fairly sacrifieed to the Mime tranquillity of Europe, I conceive the king of Saxony to have been so placed .by his perptanal terciversa. • times, and beeati-e he has been not only flue insist devoted, but the ipyst favoured of Boiripartra vassals ; contributing with all his means, and wills tic greatest vat], in the double capacity of a Ger emu as well as Poled, Sovereign, to extend the general subjection, even into the lic,art of Russia. lam aware that many instances arc to be fiteind lu Germans of a similar political immorality. lam acquainted however with none which is• equally revolting.

" Vienna, 11th October, 1814. " CASTLEREAGii." COPT OF THE LETTER OF THE PRINCE DE TALLEYRAND TO LORD VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGII, DATED VIENNA, DEC. 15 1 1814. " M v Lon n.— Von desire me to snake known to you in what nunt ncr the affair of Naples ought to be seined in Co, gress ; for as the! e is 4 necessity of settling it, it is a point upon winch the!, ought not to be one moment of uncertainly in a mind like onlit he for ever a subject of reproach, and I will say, even an eternal subject of shame, if the right of sovereignty noes an areient and tine kingdom, like that of Naples being contested, Europe milted f.r I the first time (and probably for the last) in genera! Cuegress should leave undecided a question 01 this nature, in some degree, usurpation by its silence. shouhl - give ground for the opinion, that the only solace of tight is force. I have. nut at the some time to convince your Excellency, of the rights of Ferdinand IV Engine(' has never ceased to recoubize them. In the war in which he lost Naples, Etieltiod was his ally. She has been since, and is so - still. Never has she recognized the title that the persou %rho now governs at Naples assumes, nor the right which this title supposes ; therefore, in cbsieurring to assure the rights of King Fer theand, England has only one plain thing to do—which is to declare in Congress what she has always recognized, that Ferrite:OW IV. is• the legitimate Sovereign of the Kiogdom cf Naples. " Perhaps E n gland. heretotoie the ally of Ferdinand IV. desires still to be so. Perhaps she may believe her honour demands that she should assist, it need be, with her forces, for his regaining the Crowe of which he has been recognized the Sovereign—but this is not an obligation that ran flow from a pure and simple acknowledg ; ment of the rights of this prince. because the recognition of a right does not naturally carry %volt it any other obligation, than that of doing nothing that may be contrary to swell tight, and of not s up. porting any pretension that may be sti rip against it. It doe) not carry with it the obligation of fighting in his defence. " It may be that I deceive myself, but it uproars to me infinitely probable, that a frank and unanimous declaration of the Powers of Europe, and the certitude of the persent who now governs at Na. pies, that he would not be supported by ally one, would render use. less the employment of force; but if the contrary should happen, those only of the Allies of King Ferdinand would be necessary, who should think proper to lend him their support. " Is it feared that in dnn case, the war should spread beyond the limits of the Kingdom of Naples, and that the tranquillity of Italy should again be intermitted? Is it feared that foreign troops should again traverse Italy? These fears may be obviated by mil:elating that the Kingdom of Naples should not be attacked by the Italian. Continent. Austria - appears to be engaged towards him, who go verus at Naples, to guarantee him from all attack on this side ; and if, as we are assured, Austria has only engaged herself for this (how can it be supposed that the Emperor has given his guarantee against the rights of a Millet!, at once his uncle and his tather-iielaw, to 'the poAession of a kingdom which he lost ID linking common came with Austria). she cannot be embarra=sed in reconciling with jUSlice and with the natural scutiments of affection, the engagements auto which extraordinary circumstances made her cuter. " It appears to me, therefore, that we may at one and the same time satislyeall our duties, and all our interests, and all, our engage , ments by an 'Article such as the tolloviing " Europe, united in Con.res, recognize, his Majesty F e rdinand " rv. as King of . Naples. r• All the powers engage to 4.ne another gg not to favour, nor to support directly or indirectly any Kette-nat. " opposite to-the rights which 'appertain to him in this title ; but " the Wimps which the powers, foreigo to Italy, and the Allies of "• his said Majesty, may march to the support of his cause, cannot k traverse Italy." " I persuade myself, my Lord, that Y. E. is suffiriently autho rized to subscribe such a clause, and that you have no reed of a twee special authorization ; but if you slnerld think otherwise, shall request or yoo to require this 4411t9rity without delay, as you h eve hero g I enoneh to permit me so to do (ahisi litt'ele a hies eoulu me le per mel i re).
