a series of unforeseen events and unfortunate circum stances had placed for some days at the head of the Provisional Junta, has suddenly broken the yoke which sedition had imposed upon him, and, giving the first example of his entire submission to the sove reign will, has gone to place himself with some faith ful regiments under the command of Lieutenant- I General Count Latour, Governor of Novara, who is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Royal troops. The city of Genoa bas remained, generally speak ing, peaceable and full of confidence in the legitimate authority. Some students of medicine have alone endeavoured to disturb public order. Thanks to the ability and vigour of the Governor, Admiral the Count de Geneys, they have been promptly repressed. Nothing remains to be reduced but the garrisons of the citadels of Turin and Alexandria, composed of a handful of vagabonds, of soldieri of different corps, and young students misled by criminal doctrines. The government of Savoy, which has been for some days menaced, has not been reached by the Revolu tion ; and a few precautions and measures of police, adopted by the Governor, have been sufficient to maintain tranquillity. On the 26th the following Proclamations were read before the assembled gam- ' son of Chamberry, amidst cries, a thousand times repeated, of Five k Roi, and the applauses of the sol- ' diers and people. The first document is the letter of the Duke of Genevois, dated Modena, March 16, which has been already given. To it are added the following : DON LOUIS GASALSOSIL, COUNT OFSALNISII lI.ANDUSNO, O 11134111,11, &C. &C.. IBRAL OF TUE DUCIIT OF SAVOY. " Savoiards!—Dnruss Pacreinsocs, which rewards faithful nations for maintaining fidelity to their Kings, has not permit ted your country to be delivered up to the disorders and the anarchy with which it was threatened. Rebellion, which has for a few days shaken the legitimate authority your ancestors so long and so valiantly defended, has only served to display, in all their lustre, the admirable qualities which distinguish you. AU the misfortunes you may have feared, are removed before they reached you, and you have only to congratulate yourselves on having proved that you are worthy of your ardent renown. " His Royal Highness Charles Felix, Doke of Genevois, in vested by the abdication of King Victor Emmanuel with the whole royal authority, has dispatched to me, by an estafette, his Proclamation, dated Modena the 16th, in which he declare s , in the face of urope, that he will not recognize the changes which have taken place in Turin, nor any of the acts published since the abdication ; but that, as being the manifest offspring of unlawful force, he regards them all as totally null and void. " His Royal Highness on the same day addressed to me a letter written by his own hand, in which, repeating to me all the above Protests, he charged me to remind the Savoyard, of their duty, and of the confidence with which he relied, in cir cumstances so critical. on their fidelity and attachment. " His Royal Highness, at the same time, transfers to me, within the limits of the Duchy of Savoy, all his authority for calling upon all faithful subjects, to give them, in the name of their Sovereign, the employments and the rewards which they may merit, and for proceeding against all those who may be criminal; and, finally, for watching over all our forces for the maintenance of order, and the honour of the country, and the repose and security of the whole population. . " Savoyards, generous and faithful People !—Be to-day what you have always been. Do here what the immortal brigade of Alessandria did within the walls of Alessandria, in the face of armed treason. Be ftni in the noble sentiments which distinguish you ; recollect that paternal and legitimate Monarchy is the only safeguard of nations ; resist the perverse insinuations of malevo lence; repel far from you those dangerous innovations which would dram down upon your beloved country incalculable evils. " AU the established Authorities will continue, as heretofore, the exercise of their functions. Nothing is changed to the rela tions of the different Administrations. The situation of the C itizens remains unaltered. " Savoyards! Aid me ,with your zeal a:. , 1 your courageous fidelity. Think on your King, who has just informed Inc that he will always rely on you.' Think on your conscience, on your contemporaries, who are watching you, and on posterity. Keep to the path of duty in which your forefathers have always walked, and be worthy of bearing their name. " I can assure you, that if Savoy boldly manifests its attach ment to the legitimate Sovereign, and its hatred of treason, we shall have nothing to fear, neither within nor without; and that to do so is the only means by which the terrible scourge of war can be averted from these peaceful countries. " Savoyards! you know what I have done to deserve your confidence; you know that I have always united to your true in terests my own dearest interests, and my most sincere affections. " Chamberry, March 26. " D'ANDEZENO." MANIFESTO OF THE SENATE OF S.IVOY. " In the crisis in which the State has been placed, the Senate of Savoy has constantly remained at its post : the sacred oath which binds it to its legitimate King and to the laws, emanated from him, renders it a duty not to abandon the administration _ . . of justice, the suspension of which would have been a new calamity. " The Senate thought it right to wait until the wish of the King should reach it. Being now officially informed that the Prince Charles Felix, called by his rank to govern the State, bas protested against all the acts of violence which some misled individuals have committed, and desires that everything should be restored to its former state, the first body of the Magistracy can no longer remain silent. " In the seutiment of respect and love which the Senate feels for the august dynasty of its Kings, and the wishes which it forms for the tranquillity and the happiness of all the inhabitants of this Duchy—the Senate, without entering into a detail of the heroic virtues of the autat House of Savoy, and the number less benefits it has constantly bestowed on its subjects, considers itself bound to recommend to she Inhabitants of this Duchy the , continuance of that unshaken fidelity of which they have con stantly given the example, and to guard themselves against the perfidious suggestions of certain innovators who love disorder, and who, finder the hypocritical mask of public welfare, look to revolutionary movements only for the means of satisfying their ambition or their cupidity. " At the same time, the Senate invites all the Judicial Autho rities to preserve that calmness which belongs to the character of the Magistrate, and without which society would - soon be completely perverted. As the advanced guards of public order , they ought to arm themselves with the force of the laws agains; those Individuals who may be disposed to trouble it. They ought to repress the factious, and to be themselves the first to give the example of obedience to the Government. Honour makes this a duty ; and the best, as well as the wisest of Princes, commends it. " The present Manifesto shall be printed, published, and posted in each Commune of the Duchy, on the day of Its recep tion ; and the same credit shall be given to the Copies printed by Albera, the King's Printer, as to the otiginal. "Done at Cbamberry, March 26. " GABET." TURIN, MARCH 24. We are approaching a fortunate crisis. The return to the ancient order of things, and tranquillity, is loudly spoken of in the city. The serious insult which has been given to Austria in the person of her Am bassador, Baron Bender, will doubtless only be attri buted to some wretched disaffected men. All Pied motnese are certainly strangers to the deplorable scene which took place on the night of the 19th.— Yesterday the Prince of Carignano repaired to No vara, after having received a dispatch from the Duke of Genevois, where he was received• by the brave General Latour, who has hitherto resisted the influence of the insurrection.—Yesterday the Junta separated, and it is not likely to meet again. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS OF SATURDAY. NAPLES, MARCH 14. Within these four days, says the Journal called the Voce del SecoJo, great events have occurred in this kingdom. We abstain .from all commentary : it would be too painful to make it. Yesterday we received a second Bulletin from Ge• , ' ' neral William Pepe, dated Castel di Sangro, twenty leagues from this capital. It is as follows: " The corps commanded by General Pepe were chiefly composed of legionaries and provisienal sill tin, who were hastily assembled on the first announce ment of the movements of the Austrian troops, and :who never believed the war in which we were en gaged. With this corgi, General Pepe had to guard valley of Rowel°, Tagliacozzo, Antrodoco, Leo nessa, and the Tronto. The enemy appeared in force in the neighbourhood of Civita Ducale. Among the courses which General Pepe had it in his power to follow, the most prudent was to debouche from his position and to attempt an extensive reconnoissance. On the morning of the 7th, he attacked the enemy , near Rieti, and at the same time directed an attack to be made near Leonessa by three battalions. The national troops, and particularly those of the line, drove back the enemy with the greatest bravery. A demi battalion of the Capitanata distinguished itself in the first line, as did a demi battalion of the 3d light infantry. " In vain did the enemy deploy all his cavalry in the plain of Rieti, our sharpshooters handled the hussars severely, and killed a great number of them, including some superior Officers. ► " After a warm fire had continued for seven hours, the enemy brought up fresh reinforcements. His numbers soon became very superior to ours. The General ordered a retreat, which was effected with out any of our troops receiving either a musket shot or sabre cut. But the enemy advanced ; the ire of his artillery threw into disorder the second line of our militia, who, perceiving that the troops com posing the first line were retreating, believed the corps defeated which they had so bravely sustained for seven hours under the hottest fire. Many of the battalions of militia dispersed. " The enemy, surprised at the courage our troops had opposed to them, did not venture to advance on any point; but having learned from spies the disor der which had taken place, he seized the propitious moment, and tried with large masses to. force the passage of Antrodoco. This defile was defended with extreme valour by the brave General Russo, whose troops fought well ; but our troops were over come by numbers, and the defile was carried. • Ge neral Pepe then moved his head-quarters to Sul mona, and on the 11th to Castel di Sangro, where he intends to recompose his corps, and to present to the enemy that resistance which he ought to expect from Neapolitan soldiers, when recovered from a first surprise. This corps will be re-organized, and will be rendered worthy of the esteem of the enemy, and the nation." The Journal add's to this Bulletin, that General Pepe had displayed all the coolness and bravery of a veteran. We are, however, assured that he is this day expected in the capital, and that he is replaced in his command by General Filangieri. It was yesterday announced that the army of the centre and that of the left, in which are many troops of the line, are tranquil in their cantonments; but it is at the same time stated that. the Prince Regent had gone to the head-quarters of the first corps of the army; that he found everything there in good or der, and that General Carascosa was manoeuvring with his well-known ability to support the second corps. It is added, that Marshal:Verdinosi, whose column had sustained no loss, was in the province of Chieti, and that he would embarrass the enemy by manoeuvring on his flanks. We learn to-day that a Council of War, presided by the Prince Regent, has been held at Capua. On the breaking up of the Council, the Prince sent Lieu tenant-General Fardella on a mission to the King. PeOPlet shouting " Vino Costibizione de 5p.p.,:3 Viva is Independents alit! dlt" As they p asse d b • the different stations of senti ne l s, they were saluted. with 'unitary honours, and when they arrived at the citadel were received with great favour and distinc tion by the few regular troops on the ramparts. MAItCal 514.—The anxious speculations of this Ca pital on the extraordinary departure of the Prince ate. gent, at this critical moment, have this morning bee n succeeded by the painful certainty, that for the pre sent he has deserted his post. I yesterday mention,} that both the Junta and his Ministers were uninformed t n s o t , h Aaruisnt: lace . 01 " Charles of his Motions by him s elf ; an d t h e f act i s this morn ing officially announced by the f o llo w i ng O rder of the Day from the Mi n i s t er o f W ar, which may. be considered inA a lbem of , princ as econofea ca tearaiSaniaiig invested by his Majesty, Victor Emmanuel, with the authority of Regent, nominated me, by his Decree of the ilst in.t,ny to the Ministry of War and Marine. " 1 am an authority legally constituted; and, in the terribl r circumstances of the country, I am bound to make known ta my companions in arms, the yoke of a faithful subject of t!)e King, and of a loyal Piedmontese. " The Prince Regent, in the night between the 21st and 224 instant, left the Capital, without informing either the National Junta or his Ministers of his departure. " No Piedmontese ought to inculpate the intentions oft Prin.., wh ose liberal mind and devotion to the cause of Italy have. bets up to this time, the hope o f a ll goo d men. A few mm, , trayers of their country, and leagued with Austria, have calumnies and every specks of fraud deceived a young Pike, who wanted experience for tempestuous times..

The National Junta—the Ministers do their's.— Charles Albert will be encouraged by your spirited concord,and Charles Felix will one day thank yi,u for having preservet his Throne. (Signed) " COUNT SA NTORRE DE SANTA ROSA, Regent of the Ministry of War and Marine." The Minister jvho has issued, and who signs this document, is an Officer of great talent and extraor dinary energy ; but it remains to be seen that effect his authority will have on the Army and the Nation. The situation of Piedmont, it must be confessed, is at present not a little singular and alarming. With one King who has abdicated the Throne, with another King in the power of the enemy, and with a Prince Regent who leaves his capital without proviJing for the administration in his absence, the existence of the Government depends upon a Provisional Junta, and war against a foreign Power is declared in "an Order of the Day.", All these anomalies result from that monstrous power claimed by the Holy Alliance to dictate in the infernal affairs of independent na tions. Hence proCeeded the resignation of the late King, the refusal of the new one to accept of the Cowl-- tution, and the indecision of the &gent in the emo tion of his functions. Everything here still remains tranquil, in spite d the frightful situation of the kingdom, threatened by a foreign enemy, and as yet unprepared by domestic union to make its defence.—The following Decree is just made public: THE PROVISIONAL JUNTA, " Seeing that, in the present situation: of the cenatry, k b above all things most urgent to preserve public order, sad* put an end to every Irregularity In the measures adopted by ash Province for the purpose of avoiding worthy, do " DECREE " 1.

The intelligence brought by these arrivals con firms, generally, the disastrous turn which affairs have taken both in Naples and in Piedmont. The acting authorities at Naples have indeed sent in their submissiOn to the Ktwo, and the army is as if it had never been. It will be seen, however, from the official report of General PaPE, that the troops under his command, though consisting almost entirely of raw levies, were far from behaving with that cowardice which has been imputed to them. A misunderstand ing, such as the most experienced troops might have fallen into, led to a panic or which even the bravest have, at times, given example; but, from all we can see, no reverse had been sustained which might not have been easily repaired, and we are convinced that, had all been sound at the capital, the Austrians would still have had much to do before they could have boasted of the conquest of Naples. In Piedmont, the Revolutionary Party-seems con fined to Turin and Alexandria ; but it is as bold in its declarations as if the whole Kingdom were with it, which it evidently is not. We are inclined to think, shat the entrance of a foreign force is only wanted to restore matters to the status quo; and though we do not suppose the Holy Allies would have cared much about having a better pretext for interfering with Sardinia than with Naples, we are sorry to see that the Provisional Junta, in whose hands the de sertion of the Prince de Cam NA NO has left all power for the present, have sanctioned an Order of the Day by the Minister of War, which contains nothing short of a declaration of War against Austria, and must, of course, make any apology for interference on the part of that Power unnecessary. The following are extracts from the different Jour nals and letters, the receipt of which we have above announced: NAPLES, MAECII 14. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. On the 9th the Austrians advanced and attacked the position which covered Aquila. It appears that they met with no resistance, as all fled at their ap proach ; and even the defiles of Antrodoco, where a few men would have sufficed to arrest the progress of a whole corps of the enemy, were abandoned.— The militia and legionary troops fled from their colours. At length the whole army of General Pepe disappeared, and he arrived alone at Castel di Sangro. It is said that the runaways having committed some excesses in the places through which they passed, the city of Sulmona closed its gates against them.— The army of Carascosa, which found itself in danger of being cut off, has receive orders to abandon the entrenched camp of Magnano and the line of the Garigliano, and to retire to Capua by that of the Volturno. " As soon as the news of this defeat was received, the Prince Regent communicated it to the Parlia ment, who adopted the resolution of sending an ad dress of submission to the King. It has been car ried by General Fardella, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke' of Calabria. " Orders have been issued for recalling part of the troops to Naples, for the purpose of preserving the tranquillity of the city. " There remains here no symptom of agitation ; the Royal Family have abandoned the project of going to Messina, and will remain here. FROM TUB PARIS PAPERS OF FRIDAY. The Governor of the Duthy of Savoy wrote from Chamberry on the 26th of the present month to the Prefect of the Isere, to inform him officially of the events which have taken place in Piedmont. The Duke of Genevois, invested by the abdication o f t h e King, Victor Emmanuel, with the royal autho rity in all its plenitude, has declared illegal, null, and of no effect, all the acts which have since that abdi cation been published by the self-stated Provisional Government, as being the manifest offspring of ille gitimate power. Hi s Highness the Prince of Savoy-Carignano,whoni MILAN, MARCH 21. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE TURIN, MARCH 23. ' s► _ , o •- ~~ --~.. General Fardella, who was dispatched by the Duke of Calabria to the King of Naples, left Florence on the 19th, to return to Naples, with a letter addressed to his Royal Highness. The Milan Mail has arrived here this morning, bringing the Gazette of the 21st. We find in it the capitulation of Aquila, which begins in the following explicit manner:—" In virtue of the authority con ferred upon the Austrian troops by King Ferdinand, on the 234 of February, Lieutenant-General Mohr takes possession of Aquila." The first Article is, that the fortress shall be garrisoned by Austrian and Nea politan troops: that the command in chief shall be in the Austrians; but that the flag of Ferdinand will be displayed on the walls. The Prince Regent of Sardinia, it is now ascer tained, has gone to the army of Novara, on the Mi lanese frontier. In his absence, the Provisional Junta has issued the following Proclamation : " VIE PROVISIONAL JUNTA. " In the actual absence of his Serene Highness the Prince Regent, and waiting till he make known his intentions, which have been already explored by us, the Provisional Junta, the only central authority, assembled to deliberate on the grave cir cumstances in which the Commonwealth is placed, having beard the Deputies of the Magistracy of this City, who are interested in the order and tranquillity of the Capital, It was resolved, that a Government is always the first want of society, since its pre sence is necessary as well for the order and the tranquillity of the citizens, as for the preservation of the Commonwealth; whilst its absence, besides leading to the disasters of anarshy and civil war, would occasion disorganization in the various branches of Administration. " That the functions and the duties of a Government allow ing of no intermission, and requiring unity of action, although a central authority is wanting, the charge of providing for the pub lic safety devolves upon that which is present. " That, in consequence, the great cause of the public safety imperiously prescribes to'the Junta to remain united till they can resign the public administration into the hands of other persons authorized by his Majesty, Charles Felix, or his Serene High ness the Prince Regent. " It has therefore determined, and does determine, that the Junta, in concert with the persons appointed to the Ministry by his Serene Highness, will continue to attend to the cares of Go venunent in all those affairs that admit not of delay, till they have orders from the King or the Prince Regent. 44 Given at Turin, March 22, 1821.. " MARRNTINI, President." By this document it would appear, (and, indeed, I have heard it from other authentic sources), that the Prince Regent, before his departure, made no provi sion for his absence, and did not even inform the Junta or his Ministers of his intentions. A par!) , of students of the University of Turin,, who left the capital on Sunday, the 11th instant, and have been in garrison in Alessandria since that time, returned this afternoon, and proceeded through the city to the citadel, with a standard, on which was in scribed, " La Costituzione de Spagna, o morte r They were surrounded by an immense concourse of . • v ~~.. . „.
