Examiner July 30, 1820.

"A Constitutional Journal is about to be established at
Naples. Two Neapolitans of literary talents have set out
for Naples for that purpose from Paris."

Morning Chronical August 2d. 1820.

an article from Naples, dated the 17th ult in the Constitutional says, –

If Europe imagines that the movement of a few
men was the only spring of the Neapolitan Revolution
it deceives itself – it was a vast enterprize, conducted
with firmness, generosity, and sentiments of humanity
which are the necessary result of the progress of civilization.
Not a drop of blood has stained this triumph .....

The Canon Menichino who is well informed on the
true constitutional basis of the organization of societies,
by a residence of three years in England, has
been one of the first to declare himself.

Mon. Chron. Aug. 9th 1820.

"The accounts from Naples are of the 18th ult. they say – ...

"The provisional Junta held their first sitting yesterday...

"It is said, that D. Leonardo Tocco, Prince of Montemilito, is to proceed as
"Envoy Extraordinary to the Courts of Paris and London, to announce to them
"the political events that have taken place here. The prince de Cariati is
"to go to Vienna on a similar mission; it is not yet known who is to be
"the Envoy to Madrid.

"Several Sicilian Gentlemen who are in this Capital have not taken
"the oath to the new Constitution, for fear of compromising themselves in
"their own country, and exposing their property to danger. Apprehensions are
"entertained respecting the difference of opinion that prevails in Sicily, between
the great Proprietors, who are attached to the ancient Constitution,
promulgated under the influence of Lord Bentinck, and the people,
"who wish for the Spanish Constitution. It is, nevertheless, hoped, that every
"thing will be amicably arranged.

..... "On the 13th, a number of soldiers of the Regiment of Réale Farnése refused
"to proceed to the Garrison at Gaete, and ran off in open day.

"Some of the deserters who took flight perished in attempting to swim
"across a river; the remainder were surrounded and made prisoners. It is
"said that, for the sake of example, two out of every ten of these men will be shot.

"A Decree, signed by the Prince Vicar-General, convokes the Parliament
"for the first of October next."

Mon. Chron. Aug 14, 1820.

"The Sicilians were just beginning to taste the benefits of the benefits
"of the Constitution which they obtained under Lord Wm. Bentinck, and which
"was guaranteed to them for fifteen years by the British Government when they
"were delivered up to Ferdinand the Fourth without the least effort to secure
"to them their new privileges. Ferdinand deprived them of their new Constitution,
"without even substituting for it the old Sicilian Constitution, and
"from Ferdinand the Fourth, he chose to become Ferdinand the First, the founder
"of a new and absolute dynasty."
