APPENDIX TO CHRONICLE 
nued their operations since I last 
wrote to yourlordship. The ne- 
‘cessity which I was under of halt- 
‘ing at Cateau, to allow the pon- 
‘toons and certain stores to reach 
‘me, and to take Cambray and 
Peronne, had placed the Marshal 
one march before me: but I con- 
ceive there is no danger in this se- 
paration between the two armies. 
He has one corps this day at 
‘Crespy, with detachments at Vil- 
lars Coterets and La Ferté Milon; 
another at Senlis ; and the fourth 
‘corps, under General Bulow, to- 
wards Paris ; he will have his ad- 
vanced guard to-morrow at St. 
Denis and Gonasse. The army 
under my command has this day 
its right behind St. Just, and its 
left behind Taub, where the high 
road from Compiegne joins the 
high road from Roye to Paris. 
_ The reserve is at Roye. 
We shall be upon the Oise to- 
morrow. 
It appears by all accounts, that 
the enemy’s corps collected at 
Soissons, and under Marshal 
Grouchy, have not yet retired 
upon Paris; and Marshal Blu- 
cher’s troops are already between 
them and that city.

FOREIGN OFFICE, JULY 5. 
Dispatches, of which the fol- 
lowing are extracts, have been 
received at this office. 
Extract of a dispatch from Wm. 
A’Court, Esq. his Majesty’s 
_ Envoy Extraordinary and Mi- 
nister Plenipotentiary to the 
King of the two Sicilies, to Vis- 
' count Castlereagh, dated 
Naples, June 17. 
~ Thave the éatisfaction to inform 
181 
your Lordship, that his Sicilian 
Majesty made this day his public 
entry into his capital, after an ab- 
sence of nine years. The crowd 
that thronged the road all the way 
from Portici was immense, and 
nothing could exceed the enthu- 
siasm of the people on the appear- 
ance of their Jegitimate Monarch. 
It was impossible to mistake the 
public feeling upon this occasion. 
The theatrical processions of Mu- 
rat drew crowds, as I am told, of 
curious spectators, but curiosity 
was not the inducement here ; in 
every countenance might be read 
the honest expression of heartfelt 
joy, at the return of a beloved and 
native sovereign. 
His Majesty was received, on 
his arrival at the palace, by all the 
principal nobility of the country, 
the great majority of whom ap- 
peared to partake of the enthu- 
siasm which had been previously 
demonstrated by the lower classes. 
In fact, never was national joy so 
unequivocally and so universally 
displayed.

Extract of a Dispatch from Lord 
Burghersh to Viscount Castle- 
reagh, dated 
Naples, June 17. 
Having received the commands 
of his Majesty King Ferdinand IV. 
to attend him from Portici, in his 
entry into his capital, I had the 
honour of being present with his 
Majesty, and of witnessing the 
enthusiasm with which he was re- 
ceived by his people. The King 
entered Naples at the head of his 
own troops, together with the 
Austrians and British, who de- 
filed before him on his arrival at 
his palace, ,
