France, these are traits which will always remain engraven on the heart of the King our Sovereign; and they far surpass the wordy protestations of amity offered to His Majesty by the rest of Europe.

Finally, the King was in hopes that the meeting of Warsaw would give rise to a European Congress, which was favoured by nearly all the Governments of Europe, and which alone would have been able to place a bulwark against the rude violence of force, which throws down and mocks at all the most ancient and sacred laws.

To the new principle of popular sovereignty which has been so strangely abused, it was necessary to oppose ancient public law, the result of the wisdom and morality of ages, in order that by the pacific discussion of their opposing principles, and an impartial examination of all contrary pretexts, a new order should arise, entrusted to the unanimous agreement of Princes, and the universal good sense of peoples restored to reason and tranquillity.

Without the realization of this grand idea there will never be peace for Europe, and every State, confining itself to the material defence of its immediate interests, cannot but lead the way to the revolution which tends to

the successive demolition of all thrones, because each will be separated from that great association of Princes which was the safeguard of Crowns, and the guarantee of the peace and welfare of peoples.

Such things being premised, you will readily understand with what grief the heart of our august Sovereign will be afflicted if so notable a design should fail by the act of any Power which should prefer its own private rancour, or questions of secondary importance, to the great principles of universal order and the security of thrones.

Therefore, I charge you, in the Royal name, to advocate the above idea with the Cabinet to which you are accredited; and if it be not appreciated there in the same way as we appreciate it, formally to inquire of the Foreign Minister what are the intentions of the British Government relative to the imminent and final misfortune, the fall of the monarchy of the Two Sicilies.

In furtherance of such sovereign command, you will read and give a copy of the present despatch to the aforesaid minister, and promptly inform me of the result of such communication, in order that His Majesty may take note of the same for the regulation of his future conduct. (Signed) CASELLA.
