NAPLES.
A Narrative of the Political and .Military Event
Winch took place at Naple in lS-'O and 182
Addressed to the king- of (lie Tni Sicilies, by
General William Pepe. From a Lte number
of the Examiner, an Kngli.sU publication.
We were sanguine,' to the last, in
the success of the Neapolitan strug-gl-
; and after its sudden and extraor
dinary failure, we always refused to
join in the wholesale charge of base
ness nnd cowardice against the people
ot ft spies. e did not then, nor do
we now believe, that there is any na
tion in Enropc, who, after acquiring
freedom by a revolution, will surren
der that blessing to a foreign and de
tested despotism, without a fierce and
prolonged defence We believed fur
ther, that the Neapolitans were a brave
and spirited people, who would fight
for their homes and liberty even bet
ter than some other European nations.
We saw also in the manner of the
devolution, how completely a sense of
the necessity of He form had pcrvadrd
everv class of the community, before
the blow was struck. Added to which,
it was quite clear, that treachery had
been busily at work mi the part of the
Uol Alliance and the displaced cor
Tuptiomsts of the old Court. General
Pp. Ss confirmed all these impres
sion, has completely-- dovekwd the
treachery to a dreadful exte-it, and ha
de':.iled the character and vindicated
tin i.. hie exertions of his tinfortunrtte
coutifrvnien ; fur which, and for the
fine feeling and manly courage display
ed in his us n conduct, he has our grat
itude, esteem, and admiration. -The
unfortunate Murat had many
qualities that might gain the affection
of t!v nation ; but hts government was
af'cr all that of a soldier, und he was
a feigner, placed on the throne by
for. ign arms an offence which no
proplf ought ever to forget or forgive
The sect of the Carbonari, a sort o
political freemasons, first came into
noliirt under his government, and
would certainly have ejected him, had
they not been anticipated by the Atis
mam. It is a circumstance not to be
overlooked, that in 1813 t'ie Carbonari
were protected and encouraged by
Ferdinand, who was then employing
the treacherous policy e.i hn lellow
Legitimates, and stirring up the Nea
poll t.uis against Murat hy the most
earnest and explicit promises of a Lib
eral Constitution ; promises whic
received a final and olemn ennnrma
tint v. Inn his Sicilian Majesty le
J'ali tir.i torcascutd h;s Italian throne
Vc all know the result : he broke hi
w.r 1 in the most impudent and profli
gate m mm r. He set up the old des
potism in its worst form, and actually
Coniluded, hvo mvithx only after his
Palermitan Prticlamalin, a secret trea
ty with the Emperor of Austria, bind
ing himself to permit nochingc which
did not assimilate with the Austrian
mode of governing Lombard) !
General Pi pe was nominated to the
coiiiirund of the provinces of Avelii
no and l;oggi. i ai1 '1C proeded to
organize a, force of national guards,
by ilu: Itcli) of which, and the moral
spirit, constantly inculcated in the se
cret societies, (which hy this time in
cluded the most respectable and dis
tiupished persons in the state.) the
formidable public robbers, who had
long tidied the feeble exertions of the
court, were entirely rooted out. Gen.
Pcpc had a further view in the forma'
tion of the national guard their ex
treme utility in the inevitable event of
a revolution ;,and in this his expecta
tions were fully bomfcout by the result.
I he General however did every thing
in his-power to prevent a prematutej
explosion, by which blood might have
been shed nnd pussions excited, disre
putable to the Reformers ; an anxie
ty which reflects the greatest honor on
this hiavc and excellent man, who had
suffered severely in his own person
Irom tyranny, nnd yet had been neither
inspired by revenge, nor spoiled by a
military education. So great indeed
was his caution, that the first move
ment took place some hours before he
had intended it. " On the morning of
the 2d of July, (1320) a squadron ot
the Regiment of bourbon, which had
come to Naples for three or four days,
sallied forth towards my head-quarters
at Avellino, proclaiming the Constitu
t iond Monarchy. 13 at was it possi
bio for one hundred cavalry to over
turn the system of absolute power
whfh had lasted lor ages ? No, Sire !
The following defence of the Car
bonari is the most pithy and complete
we ever saw : ' ,'
'The society of Carbonari ha been depicted
in frightful cohmrsi, but how could it le other
wi.'itt hy the mercenary slave of ahuolnte pow.
er! Previous to it ex'nU-iice in the kingdom
of Naples, everv c!iiire and popular movement
wan sure to be followed by pillage und crime-.
After it introduction among us, the people be
came pdriit and moral. If any u retell belong-
intr to tl.U socit-iv took part in the aas'm:Goa
of tiiamprtro, that wM,ut only prove that in so. J commands
The history of what occurred be-1
tween the Kevolution and the Austrian
invasion, is indeed a melancholy one.
The Executive was divided and inert;
and the Regent, who seems to have
been a lamentably weak person, was
reduced to a stupid inactivity by the
idea of lighting against invaders into
whose arms the slippery old dotard his
father had thrown himself. The en
thusiasm of the people was so great ami
universal as warranted the most confi
dent anticipations of triumph. The
provinces were maintained in perfect
' f i -. i . i ...
oruer wunout military am, gaming un
known under the old despotism.) A
guard of safety was organized at Na
ples "as fine a body of nien as were
ever seen in any other capital in Eu
rope" clothed and maintained in ac
tive service entirely at their own ex
pense. The fatal error was commit
ted of letting the King go to Laybach.
The only fighting that took place was
in the Abruzzi, where General Pepe
commanded ; and so far from wonder
ing why there wn3 so little rtsistance,
it is surprising how hlty nun were
kept together on the advance of the
Austrians. The General had a fron
tier of 150 miles to defend against the
heavy columns of the enemy, with a
few battalions of regulars and some
half-clothed and half-fed militia, lie
was without money or stores. His
soldiers were obliged to bivouac in the
snow, in which he himself had nearly
perislied. The Austrian General Pri
mont was employing ppies and circula
ting proclamations in his own and the
old King's name, to induce the militia
to disband, and to corrupt the officers
by bribery and promises ; both which
results, assisted by the desperate state
of affairs, were produced in several ca
ses. Uodr all these disheartening
circumstances the first rencontre took
place at Rieti ; and it is a fact which
the greatest admiration.
