yet state which of the Austrian 
corps will march on Naples by 
 Caijagga and Caserta, nor which 
will blockade the enemy’s position 
of Capua; and in the present state 
of affairs it seems immaterial ; 
the great object being now to save 
the capital from any rising of the 
populace, and the consequences 
that might follow an event so 
much dreaded by all classes of the 
inhabitants. 
The organization of the Neapo- 
litan volunteers has gone on 
amazingly well; and it is even 
probable that a detachment of 
them may be sent to pass the Vol- 
turno at its mouth, and push on 
to Naples, by the road of Pozzuoli; 
in that case I believe I shall be 
entrusted with this operation. 
I am very happy to state, that 
although the whole of the coun- 
try through which we have passed 
has risen in arms against the 
usurper’s forces, no act of dis- 
| order or excess has been com- 
mitted by the armed inhabitants, 
| who have on no occasion been al- 
lowed to act in independent bo- 
.| dies, under the denomination of 
| Massa; on the contrary, they 
havebeen obliged to act according 
to military discipline, and under 
the direction of regular officers. 
I have the honour to be, &c.

been signed, by which the whole 
of the kingdom of Naples, save a 
few places, Gaeta, Pescara, andalso 
Ancona, has been surrendered to 
the allies. Murat has not yet 
treated, nor is it exactly known 
where he is, but he has been in-

of honour to Austria. The army
