THE EVENING STAR. - 1 LONDON. I . THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1821. Yesterday evening we received the Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday, which have brought some far ther particulars respecting the Piedmontese Revolu tion. The insurrection, as before known, commenced with the garrison of Alexandria; and it would ap pear that the King, VICTOR ENSMA NV EL, had not been long in deciding on his abdication—a pretty positive proof that the sentiments of the Military in other quarters were in unison with the troops in Alexandria. The insurrection of the latter was on the 10th instant, and on the 12th, .in the evening, the Ktun resolved to abdicate in favour of his brother, the Duke of Gcsavots; but this Pi lila being absent, the Prince de : Cattoita 71: was appointed Regent of the Kingdom. The Proclamationof his MsiasTy deserves parti cnlar attention, not only respecting its immediate cause and object, but on account 'of the light it af fordssrespecting.fre nature of that bond of iniquity, • called the Holy Alliance. VICTOR Emu A Num. in forms his late subjects," That by a precis-, nattni. wow, and very recent deliberation, the G REA r Powanis, his Allies, have resolved, that never, in any case, shall any act, tending .to subvert the political and /c -sil ism& order which exists in Europe, be '4 p proved, and still kiss supported by any of them."—But this is not all—" on the contrary, the three Powers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, will avenge, with an armed ,force, every . attempt opposed to the pre,ervation of this or der!' To say nothing of the impiety of such a band ar rogating to themselves the title of " t/re Great Powers!" title not proper to any of the sons of men—let us take this title in the vaunting light in which they feel themselves " great"—say, stronger than other States, to which they, therefore, presume to dictate, precisely in the feelings and spit it of an arrogant bully ; for what right can they claim but that of being the strongest, to interfere in the internal affairs of other Independent States ?—But letting this rest for the prescut,—these are " the Great Powers r'- What, then, are France and England? Or does he include these Powers, without naming them, and thereby assert the truth of the Austrian Declaration, •that the feeling of dime Powers is with the Holy men of Troppau, though both have thought fit to declare themselves neutral. Be this as it may, let us recollect that the race is not always to the swill, nor the batik to the strong. The writer of the present article recollects well the boasts! of the Prussians, when, at the commencement of the revolutionary war, their Army was ordered to marc4 to Paris. The present boasts are not greater, nor the means put in array against the revolutionized States more threatening than they were then; but the Sun had not performed many revolutions ere it was our lot to be the first to announce to the British Public the destruction of the Duke of BauNswicres Army ! How stands the comparative state of parties now to what it was then, as to physical strength and re sources? Infinitely to the disadvantage of those who have been boasting before putting oa their armour l At that time Prussia and the other Legitimates, as they now please to be called; had armies well disci plined and organized—such mere' unthinking ma chines, that they had only to b* put is motion fo r any purpose, however wicked. Is it so now? No, no! Three or four men may league against man kind—say even a dozen—but, they have lost their right arm ; it is palsied and withered as to them : nay more, it is 'turned against them; for the military everywhere are declaring.for the people. We except not even the Austrian army; for enough transpires, in spite of the continental censorship; to inform us of the mind that pervades it. How came so many Austrian Officers to be put under arrest? And shall, we believe in the possibility of the Officers being tainted, without the infectioh having reached the ranks?. Impossible! We say nothing of the Revolutionary spirit said to have already manifested itself in the North of turope. If not yet strikingly visible, its existence is not the less certain. But passing this at present, the physical and moral strength opposed to the inva ders of Independent States, is sufficient to insure theft overthrow, and'to force back the rolling tide 'upon their own heads ! The Great Powers, ere long, " will have been.' Like Pharaoh and his followers, they will be overwhelmed in the sea which they have braved with their mighty hosts. The eported engagement between the Neapolitans{ and Austrians, at Itieti, is confirmed by accounts re ceived at Inspruck and Frankfort, but there are no further details.—The following are extracts from the Journals received : FARIS, MARCH 19. . Private accounts from Naples announce that the' preparations for defence are going on with redoubled activity. Fresh troops march daily to the frontiers. The garrison 'of Palermo, and other troops drafted from Sicily, on being landed at Naples were imme gliately marched towards Fondi. Gnerriero,"a - Spanish ship of the lion, and the Perttt frigate, which have sailed from Carthagena, and escort a considerable flotilla, are every moment eipeeted at Naples. " TURIN, MARCH 14. 64 On the 11th the King published a Proclamation, in which he deplored the defection of the garrison ot, ,_ Alex:l'44a; anti A finourteeti — WdWia lity of his people and of the regiments of Turin. The troops of the Capital, in bet, not only appeared to dismiss all thoughts of insurrection, but uttered cries f give le .Roi r with the eiception of SOO men who bad hoisted the flag Of independence in the cita del. • It appears that this beginning oP revolt in the' garrison took place ob the spreading of the news that the troops of Alexandria were marching on the Cori. tal. The people remained wholly tranquil, and took • no part in this movement. • " in the evening of the 12th, the King, at the con clusion of a Council, which was held on tl;e arrival ,of his Minister for Foreign Affairs, took the resolution of abdicating, and - of traltsmitting the Crown to his brother, the Duke de tienevois. Bat this Prince being at that time on his journey towards Modena,' whither he was going to meet the King of Naples, his father-in-law, the provi,ional exercise of the sovereign authority was confided to Prince Carignano, under the title of Regent. " Within an hour after this resolution was taken by his Majesty, an official notification of the event was communicated to the Foreign Ministers resident at Turin. A longer time elapsed before it - was 'trade known to the People and the Army. - " During the whole of the 13th, and part of this day, the court of the Royal Palace was filled with the "equipages of the Royal Family engaged for their iconveyance.- -Their Majesties the King and Queen. have announced their intention of retiring to Nice, until the provision to be Made for them shall be de termined. The King and Queen look leave this morning of the Prince de Carignano. He reqtiested permission to follow them ; but the King commanded him to remain at Turin, to maintain the public ban quillitY..-6,-The following Proclamations were issued here on the Path and 13th : " PROCLAMATION OF THE KING._ " VICTOR Estsiasayrt,.by the Grace of Goa, King of Sardinia &c.—Since the day it has pleased Gou to recal us to the govern ment of our continental dominions, all our care has lo•ett di rected to confer °nom - subjects ins antes of our paternal regird. "We have endeavoured, a!) , :ve all, to cherish among them the spirit of union, and concord, and to banish bosh animosities and every species of party spirit. " The sentiments of our subjects have been reciprocal to our own ; and it is to them, as well as to us, that the circurnqattc:: is owing, to the admiration of an Europe. thin in the midst of the troubles which have ag'.`ated other States, the most perfect tranquillity, up to the present period, has been preserved in our faitlitul Provinces. .-........- " Since our return, also, we have felt pleasure in dieing& sh ing our military subjects by particular marks of affection—a dis tinction which was returned on their part by unequivocal proofs of uttion and fidelity. " But at the. present moment, while our Provinces and our Army in general hive preserved the line of duty, certain military bands, deaf to our for mer gracious insrance-: of•regard, persisting in their disobedience, have abandoned their Officers, and have shut themselves up in the fortress of Alexandria. " We perceive with inexpressible grief the danger to which • the obduracy of these individuals exposes not only the tranquil lity, but even the independence of the country. " At this moment, when we place our person and our cause in the hands of DIVINE. PILOVIDENCZ ; at this moment, when we re commend our Person and our cause to the firmness of our faith ful subjects, our conscience and our paternal Zection oblige us • to declare— " That by a recent and unanimous deliberation, the Great Powers, our Allies, have resolved, that in no case whatever shall any act tending to subvert the political and legitimate order in Europe be .r proved, and still less be supported, ar.y.of them. " That, on the contrary, the three Powers, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, will .revenge, by an armed force, every attempt which shall be opposed to the preservation of this order. " In this state of things, determined and firmly resolved as we are, not to permit nor to recognize, and yet more, not to co-operate in any act which may give rise to foreign invasion ; constant to the principle of employing every means for sparing the blood of our beloved subjects, we open here our whole mind, and give at the same time an alleviation to our grief, in making known to all, in the face of Europe, that the entire blame will rest upn the disturbers of legitimate carder, if ever any other army than our own shall strew itself in the interior of our States, or if ever—the thought of which afflicts us most deeply—the scourge of civil discord shall visit our People, whom we ever have and ever shall cherish as part of our own Lanny.

The correspondence with Naples ha, as yet eitpe periencecl no interruption. The last letters from that country, which are to 4he 26th of February, contain the following details : " Naples is enti:ely stripped of troops. The corps which were still there at that date have now marched to join the anuy ; but instead of advancing on the Garigliano, they hive proceeded to wards the Abruzzi. Other troops have also taken the same route. The division of Ambrosio Is gone to Celano. The infantry re giment of the Crown was the last that left Naples. The organi zation of the free corps continues with unexampled activity.— They march as soon as they are formed to the frontieri. All the posts at Naples are occupied by the Civic Guard, - which, under the present circumstances, shews the greatest zeal for the maintenance of order. Go'vernment has also taken measures' for the preservation of tranquillity in the Provinces. " The rise of provisions continues, because considerable pur chases have. been made for the army; and also because the greater part of the inhabitants of Naples have thought proper to lay in a-supply of provisions. We have successively received in this Capital sixteen cargoes of corn, whisk had been shipped at Genoa with the consent of the l'iedmontese Government. " A conaidesable quantity of arms and munitions of war, dis patched from different foreign ports, has also arrived hat. " We every moment expect the arrival of 10,000 troops of the line, for whom a fleet has been sent to Sicily. " P.S.—lt is this moment reported that a very warm affair has taken place between the Austrian and Neapolitan troops,,in the neighbourhood of Med. No particular of the result are given." AUGSBURGII; MARCII 12. • EXTRACT )RO4l A PRIVATE LETTER.

Prince Metternich when he returns to Vienna. ' Letters from Milan; ora. recent date, speak of sin.: Mar reiorts. which circurated iii that City on the arrival or a Courier. Extraordinary. dispatched 'from Turin. The nature of these reports is not explained, but it is added, that there is a general belief that the, Austrian corps of'observatioa, stationedlowards the' frontiers of Piedmont, will be considerably reinforced by Regiments which ale in march' from Bohemia, Moravia, and Hungary. A letter from Vienna states, that two battalions of artillety stationed at Gratz, and the depots concen trate," at Clawnftirt, had received - Orders. to march for Italy. INSPRUCK, MARCH 9. .lt is confirmed that . hostilities have commenced on the side of Rieti and A scoli. We are waiting for the details. The Neapolitan corps which were posted froni the Mediterranean to Capui and San Germano, had set out by forced marches for the Abruzzes, which will be the principal theatre of war. . . )LtRCU s. ' • EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LITTER. Since it has appeared certain that the Chiefs of the ruling party at Naples have resolved on defending themselves to the last extremity, new movements are Zbservel among r:te troops stationed in the interior of Anstria and (4 Hungary.- Considerable bodies are even settin7 out for Italy for the purpose of form ing echelons of communication between Lombardy , and the Army of General Frimont. This General must have renounced the imitation of Genet al Bi anchi, who, in 1815, penetrated rapidly, by the route of Teri acina, upon Naples, because he felt assured of the support of a great patty among the Neapolitans; but one battle gained in the Abruzzi will prove more decisive than a hazardous march ; for, even supposing that it does not immediately open the road to the capital, it will bring the Austrians near to the great plains of Pnglii, whet e it will he in communi cation with the pot ts of Austria, Dalmatia, and Ra gusa. It is also probable, there being nothing to fear front the Neapolitan Navy, that the Austrian General may draw . succeurs from Hungary by these ports. Pescara once passed or taken, there is not a single city from thence to the Gulf of Tarentum that can possibly stand a siege. " The fintresses oi . Ancona, Camachio, Ferrara, and Mantua, filled with depots of provisions and artillery of reserve, form so connected a line, that it is scarcely possible the communications between Austria and the Army acting against Naples should experience any serious ditlicut; y, even if the Cirbonari attempt to realize their threat of an insurrection in the tear of that Army ; but, hitherto, neither the Ro man States nor the Tuscans manifest any hostile dis position towards our troops." The following private accounts have been received to-day, from Pari s , in addition to those comxnuni cated above: " PARIS, MARCH 19. " Commercial Couriers, arrived from Naples, bring news of the sth and 7th of March. The Most perfect tranquillity prevails in the capital, and io . the whole kingdom, not withstanding. tar. depatttire o(.the troops for the frontiers. Naples; with the exception of the forts is protected by' the inhabitants, formed into a Civic Guard r—this:oerps, cOmPoiedv the flower of the Citizens of that city,. is dkinguished by its fine appearance, its exactness in the performance of its duty, and its attachment to the dynasty of the Don't.- bons, and to the Constitutional Government. It had desired to march to the frontiers, to make the cam paign with the Army ; but the Parliament would not consent to the departure of a Corps so necessary to the preservation of order and tranquillity. The Civic Guard consists of 16,000 men, di vided into four regiments of infantry and three of cavalry. The Gendarme' ie, also a civic corps, com posed of the flower of the army, consists of 5,000 foot and 2,000 horse. T;:is corps also offered to join the army ; but the Government declined, assuring the Commander that his brave soldiers should be em ployed. in case of need. The many demands of this nature spew the spirit that animates the whole Nea• politan people. " The Prince Regent has set out for the army, accompanied by Lieutenant-General Paresi and the Duke of Ascoli. Prince Leopold . of Salerno, his Royal Highness's brother, has followed the Prince Regent.
