ries of State, to the Ministers of 
the Emperor and the King of 
Naples, dated the 21st of Sep- 
tember, 1792. 
THE undersigned Secretary of 
State to the King, in answer to the 
official note dated yesterday, which 
he received from the Count de Sta- 
dion and the Prince de Castelcica- 
la, Ministers Plenipotentiary and 
Envoys Extraordinary from his Im- 
perial Royal Apostolic Majesty,and 
from his Sicilian Majesty, has the 
honour to renew to those ministers 
the assurance of the sincere interest 
which the King has always taken 
in every thing which relates person- 
ally to their Most Christian Majes- 
ties, and which could not fail to be 
increased by the unfortunate cir- 
cumstances ofthe situation in which 
their Majesties are actually placed. 
It is his Majesty’s most ardent 
wish, that the fears expressed in the 
note of the Count de Stadion and 
the Prince de Castelcicala, may not 
be realized ; but should the contra- 
ry case unfortunately happen, his 
Majesty would not fail to take the 
most effectual measures, in order to 
prevent the persons who should 
have rendered themselves guilty of 
so atrocious a.crime, from finding 
an asylum in the dominions of his 
Majesty. The King takes a plea- 
sure in formally giving to sove- 
reigns so closely united to their 
Most. Christian Majesties, and to 
their royal family, by the ties of 
blood, this assurance, which his 
Majesty considers in no other light 
than as;an immediate and necessary 
consequenceof those principles and 
sentiments which have ever guided 
his conduct.

I HAVE the honour, Sir, to ac- 
quaint you that, in consequence of

has had with the Ministers of their 
Majestiesthe Emperor andthe King 
of the Two Sicilies, those Ministers

of you to lay these two papers be- 
fore their High Mightinesses with- 
out delay : They will see, no doubt, 
with fresh satisfaction, the sincere 
desire which his Majesty has to em- 
ploy every method compatible with 
his dignity, and with the principles 
by which his conduct is invariably 
directed, for the purpose of contri- 
buting to the safety and welfare of 
their Most Christian Majesties. 
I have the honour to be, &c.
