A Dispatch, of which the follow- 
ing is a copy, has been re- 
ceived by Viscount Castlereagh, 
his Majesty’s principal Secre- 
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, 
from Lord Burghersh, his Ma- 
jesty’s Envoy Extraordinary and 
Minister Plenipotentiary at the 
Court of Tuscany, dated 
Naples, May 23, 1815. 
My Lord,—Prince Leopold, of

existing government, on the 20th 
and 21st, that Marshal Murat left 
the town in disguise, and his wife 
sought the security which had 
been assured her on board a Bri- 
tish man of war. 
General Carascosa sent to Ge- 
neral Bianchi, requesting he would 
prevent the misfortunes with which 
the town was menaced, by entér- 
ing it immediately ; and Madame 
Murat, by the same request to 
Admiral Lord Exmouth, prevail- 
ed upon him to land a body of 
500 marines, to maintain tran-
