Both the Earl of Livenrool. and the Lotto CHANCELLOR have given notice, that they mean to oppose the Bill. The attempt to regenerate the Government of Na- pies may be considered as frustrated for the present by the Despots of the Continent. What a prospect - for mankind! What a call upon the people every where to cultivate, by every mean which may be within their reach, those sentiments of patriotism which may ultimately enable them to break the ' chains of their oppressors, in spite of every opposi tion. Was the world made only for a few despots, and the bulk of mankind_ only to minister to their desires? It would appear so were we to judge by what passes before our eyes on the Continent. But 'when we look at home, and see the operation of our own Constitutipn—reared not by the will of former Sovereigns but by the courage and energies of our forefathers—we see how erroneous such an inference would be. Italy is doomed by the Holy Allies still to be the prey of despctism; but the firmest resolves are some times based by events little contemplated by those who think they have only to sit down and divide the spoil. Even at this moment, oppressed as the South of Italy is by the presence of an army of foreigners, the breath of freedom is not extinct. In Piedmont they still assert their right to independence. The defection of their Regent—who had sworn to main- , tain the new Constitution—has, of course, deranged their measures, but still they proclaim their determi nation to persevere. If they shall continue firm to this resolve, appalling as the number of the hosts which threaten them may be, still it is possible they may be able to stand their ground agaimt the in vaders. In one word, the issue depends on the will of the SOVEREIGN RI:LER of the UNIVERSE—Lot on the will of impious men, who call their leagues for oppression /v.)9! A letter from Turin, cf the 24:th March, published by a contemporary, :tees, that the Revolution was 'nought about with the knowledge and concurrence of Prince CARIGNANO; that the young Prince either repented or got frightened, and, at the moment when the military movements which had been agreed on were to take place, by a signal, on the 9th, he sent off an order to shut up the military in their quarters at Turin ! However, in spite of this, the Revolution was effected, the Prince was appointed Regent—and matters, as far as he was allowed to have any con cern, were botched to the utmost. Then followed the Proclamation of the new King, CitAnor-s FELtx, written under the ditection of the Austrians.s The Regent slipt out of Turin for Novara in the night of the !;./d, but had hardly -got ten miles on his journey when the soldiers he had taken with him quitted the Prince and joined the Constitutionalists, who were already encamped in the face of the Aus trians, on the Ticino. " In the meantime the Minis ter of War recalled the soldiers who were absent on leave ; the Minister of the Interior continued to labour for the Constitution; and the Junta elected itself into the only legitimate authority." With the foregoing letter agrees one from Paris, of the 31st March, in which the writer says— A Courier, who has arrived this day from Italy, states that the affairs of Piedmont are not in that situation which has been reported, that the Provisionary Junta have declared the Prince of Callow°, and all the other Members of the Royal Family, Incapable of reigning. It Is added, that they are making great preparations for marching on Milan, where they have been in vited. The Public are in the greatest anxiety to hear the news of this intended movement." As we have already intimated, fearful as are the odds against the Italians, it is not beyond the reach of possibility that they may, by some unforeseen turn of PROVIDENCE, yet triumph over the hosts of their invaders ; and it they should, what then ? aye, what then ?—Let the Tyrants 'of the Earth answer the question. BULLETIN OF TILE AUSTRIAN ARMY. (From the Florence GagUe of March 24.) " HIAD-QUASTEAS, SAN G 71151.010, Matto: 19. Our advanced guard is at Calvi, near Capua. " According to concurring and certain accounts, the Neapoli tan divisions stationed in that fortress under the orders of Gene rals Carascosa, Ambrosio, and Filangieri, may be considered en tirely disbanded, as the Royal Guards, and, after their example, other military corps, have declared that they will not fight con trary to the orders of the King. " The fort of Monte Cassino was occupied by the troops of the Royal Guard, under the command of a Neapolitan Colonel. The General-in-Chief summoned the said Colonel, in the name of his Majesty, to surrender the place. While the negociation was going on. the soldiers within the castle revolted, and pro fiting by this circumstance, the enemy's entrenchments were sur prised and occupied partly by force and partly without resistance. " The Militia are disarmed and treated as prisoners of war The Guards, who had already been disarmed, have had their arms and decorations restored. As a testimony of their fidelity. they will be, iu the meantime, joined to the Grenadier Brigade of the Austrian array. " General Count Fiquelmont has this day gone to Capua to intimate to the Commandant of that fortress, that he must sur render. In cue of refusal, the place will be attacked the day after to-morrow, March 21. (A true copy.) (Signed) " Count dl BOSIBELLES." FLORENCE, MARCH 24. Authentic accounts received from Rome, dated the TOLL, state that Captain Fetzer, of the Staff of the, Austrian Army, had entered Fondi, at the head of, three companies of Hussars. All the positions of the EpilAffio, Fondi, and Itri, considered impregnable, vvcre voluntarily abandoned by the enemy. Major Curtis, of the Neapolitan service, has arrived here with the dispatches from the Hereditary Prince to his august father. A Deputation has also arrived from the Abruzzi, to lad• at the feet of his Sicilian Majesty the homage of the fidelity, and the expression of the attachment of that Province towards its Sovereign. General Fadella, the Duke of Calabria's Aide-de- Camp, who arrived on the 19th, returned to Naples on Monday. TURIN. MARCH 28. Tranquillity and order prevail in this capital. If disorders and misfortunes have occurred in the Pro vinccs, as well as at Genoa, it is to the inconceivable conduct of the Prince Regent alone they must be at tributed. The streets of Turin are filled with soldiers. Numerous contingents are arriving from all the Pro vinces of the Kingdom. Count Santa Rosa, Minister of War and Marine, has addressed an Order of the Day to them, which I subjoin. The Russian Minis ter had taken his departure. It is to be hoped that the great Powers will not consent to any, attempt of Austria to occupy Piedmont as well as Naples, as that would be to give up to her the whole of It iiy. A Patriotic Club, composed of advocates, mer chants, professors, and students of the University, has for these six days past held public sittings in the cof fee•house called Caffee Novo. The advocates and the members of the University display the greatest zeal for constitutional government. “ ORDER OF THE DAY. " Soldiers of the Brigade Contingents !—You have given satis faction to your country. 4 On the first notice of danger—at the first call of the Go vernmeat—you have left your homes, and repaired to your posts. And this you have done when the difficulties of the crisis would perhaps have prevented the Government from compelling the unwilling to march, and when the timid or the disloyal might have counseled delay. " Young Warriors !—I can truly call you the flower of the Nation. To yin it owes everything—the cepsciousness of its strength, its hopes of defence and security. " The standards around which you are gathering, and under which you will be formed into battalions to march rapidly on the frontiers, arc not rebel colours. Rebels will only be found if facilities are afforded for the entrance of foreigners on the Piedmontese territory. Ours is the Royal Ensign; it bears the generous Eagle of Savoy, and we follow no other. " In the fourteenth century, that eagle was displayed in Lom bardy to protect that country from a horde of adventurers who were the terror of the north of Italy. Your valour being again appealed to, you re-appear to give freedom to fraternal nations) and to revive the glory and the virtues of Italians. " Our colours are those of the King, though, however, It has pleased PIOVIDgNCE to put our courage to the extreme proof by afflicting us with the double misfortune of the abdication of a King, dear to his People, and the absence of his successor, in whom our hopes were so confidently placed, but who is now among our enemies, and obliged to speak a language which we can never recognize as that of his heart. We will always, in good or in bad fortune, remember that our fidelity to the Princes of Savoy ought to correspond with our attachment to the Con stitution from which our families have to expect security and happiness. . _ “ Youthful Soldiers ! seize with joy and confidence the arms consigned to you by the country. Nooe of you will fall to ap pear in the day of honourable danger. You will have skilful Officers to give you instruction. You will see men advanced to military honours according to their merit, not by favour. Those Meers will set you examples of military discipline and firmness. You will see them in the foremost ranks in the day of battle.— That day is near aa baud. Piedasoatese warriors! you rejoice at the thought. You will be acknowledged the tree sons of the defenders of Coueria, whose undaunted courage excited the wonder of Napoleon Bonaparte, and who would perhaps hare then prevented the conquest of Italy had we not had Austrians for Allies. And you, Genoen !on seeing the name of Genoa inscribed on the standard of your Legion, our enemies, struck with terror, will exclaim Behold the men of 1746 V " Given at Turin, March 26. (Signed) " COUNT SANTORRE Dl SANTA ROSA, Regent of the Ministry of "War and Marine." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. GENOA, MARCH' 24. 44 From Saturday until Tueiday Proclamations continued to arrive from Turin, naming the Mem bers of the Junta, together with the oath taken by it and the Prince Regent to the Spanish Constitution. Dinners, at which both citizens and soldiers joined, were given here to celebrate the event ; and nothing I wa s heard in the streets but the cries of the itinerary venders of the Proclamations, and also of copies of the Spanish Constitution. Thus all appeared to be going on well, and an order was momentarily ex pected from Turin for the Authorities here to take the oath ; but on Tuesday night, about midnight, the drums beat to arms at the different barracks, the soldiers were mustered, and a promise was made them of an advance of four soldi per day to each soldier, and 20 to 30 livres per month to the Officers, according to their ranks. Nothing, however, of this was known until the following morning, when cou• pling it with the events then about to be made public, the object of that spontaneous generosity to the troops could not be mistaken. It created great alarm, and induced a belief that the constitutional cause had been betrayed. " The Public was not left long in doubt ; for a Proclamation was issued by the Governor, annexing to it the Declaration of the King, Charles Felix, wherein he -not only refuses 'to acknowledge any in novation upon the Government that existed previous to his brother's abdication ; but declares all those, without exception, who have adhered, or shall ad here to such innovation, or who have arrogated, or I shall arrogate a Constitution, or any encroachment whatever upon the fulness of the Royal authority, rebels. In the Governor's Proclamation which aCCOrli• panied the above Declaration he says, that the Prince Regent has signified to him his adherence to that De cimation; but this is difficult to reconcile; for if he had done so, he surely would have signified it him self to the Public, since he had so far lent himself to lead them astray by hi: previous. Proclamations in favour of the Constitntinn. " For these reasons the Genoese are not willing to credit the clause, and say they have been betrayed to the Austrians; and many are of opinion that the whole affair has been planned in order to give a pre text for the Austrians occupying the strong places in Picdmont and here,. which the soldiers would not before hear of. Exclusive of this, a circumstance has occurred which goes far to prove that the Junta at Turin were ignorant of what was about to occur.' for, on the 20th, they named M. Emmanuel Balbi and M. Maximilian Spinola, Deputies to the Junta ; and the latter is said to have gone there to-day. " Wednesday morning the whole city.was in great confusion ; and, in the afternoon, large parties were parading the streets, crying out' Viva la Cogiluzione. , This continued increasing, and at last the numbers were so great that, in two or three instances, they actually attacked the guard and took away from them their arms. Wednesday night several people were killed and wounded ; and Thursday all the shops were shut." A Mail arrived this forenoon from llamburgh, with Papers to the 27th ultimo. The following are extracts: STOCKHOLM, I%I.ARCH is. Sweden has just suffered an irreparable loss.

The other Regiments will be assembled for 16 days, at the usual place.
