THE RETURN OF KING FERDINAND IV --
1815 (2)
Extract of a dispatch from Lord Burgersh to Viscount
Castlereagh, dated Naples, June 17, 1815:
Having received the commands of his Majesty, King Ferdinand IV,
to attend him from Portici, in his entry into his capital, I had
this day the honour of being present with his Majesty, and of
witnessing the enthusiasm with which he was received by his
people. The King entered Naples at the head of his own troops,
together with the Austrians and British, who defiled before him
on his arrival at his palace.
The constant attachment of the Neapolitan people are known to
have ever borne their legitimate Sovereign, makes it
unnecessary to detail to your Lordship their joy at his return.
His Majesty re-assumes the government of his country, beloved and
respected by all classes of his subjects.
