DINIA having abdicated, and that the Prince de CA• I RIGNAU, the heir presumptive, has ascended the Throne. He is a yetang.man, of 23 years of age, but of his degree of consanguinity to the Monarch who has abdicated, we are not accurately informed. His name is CHALLIS AMIDIM The lines of succession in Piedmont and in Sardinia are different. In the former the Salic law is followed, which excludes fe males from the succession : in the latter the succes- sion goes to the nearest of kin, whether male or fe• ' male. In Sardinia, therefore, whither the Kato has retired, his daughter is heir to the Throne. Many have applauded the conduct of the British Cabinet, in declaring that it will maintain a strict neutrality during the present war; but it yet remains to he seen, whether abstaining even from remon strance, respecting any measures to which some of the Belligerents may have recourse, may not amount to taking a part in the war against one of the parties? --Whether this pledge may not be construed by one or other of the Powers into a promise that this coun try will quietly look on, and witness, without inter ference, acquisitions of territory by some of the par ties, calculated to destroy the balance of power in Europe ? May not all or any of the Belligerents say, that this country stands pledged not to interfere with any proceedings they may cboose to attempt, provided only that such proceedings be made to appear as measures of warfare against the Power with which they are in a state of hostility. This is not a mere visionary speculation. The Empe ror of RUSSIA has, it is said, issued a Declaration, in which he alludes to this pledge of neutrality given by our Government, and by trance; and in which he avows his active alliance with Austria, and ex presses his determination to co-operate against Naples, by immediately sending an expedition to the Medi terranean. Will our Government suffer this over grown Power to take possession of the Island of Sicily ? The establishment of Russia in the Medi terranean can never be suffered by this country, nor we should think by France. This news was received yesterday by several Russian Houses, and they add, that the Estrnaoa says, England cannot now depart from her avowed neutrality respecting the part be shall take. Our Readers will also see, in the 'im portant debate of last night, it was stated, that Rus sia, in the confidence of our neutrality, means to occupy—that is, to seize on Sicily, as well as assist in delivering over Naples to his Ally. So much for our political sagacity ! _ _ _ One of the letters to which we allude states, that a Russian army of 120,000 men is advancing from Georgia. The writer supposes, that by the movement of this force the Emperor may be conceived to have some direct views upon Constantinople: this, how ever, we conceive to be foreign to his present object. ALIXANDER has been preparing an armament in the Black Sea, and we think its object cannot be mis taken. To march an army overland to Italy would be impossible, without either invading the rights of neutral territory, or obliging the troops to take such a circuitous route as would keep them for many months from the scene of action; and, indeed, it would be next to impossible, in this way, to forward the necessary magazines and stores for the army.— It is much more reasonable, then, to conclude that the Russian force Is to be sent from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean. The rest may be easily anti cipated. If we suffer the Russians to take possession of Sicily, we shall be obliged afterwards to go to war wOi Russia to dispossess them : the danger of which might have been entirely avoided, by saying at once to Russia—" You shall not take possession of Sicily! If you do, our neutrality ceases." • At the time we begin to write no new accounts have reached us from the Continent, but in addition to those given in our last, we have to state some other facts announced in private letters received yesterday. No doubts whatever . are entertained as to the gene rat fact announced yesterday, of the Neapolitans having had a conflict with the Austrians at Rieti, in which they obtained an inspoitant victory over the invaders, but, unhappily, with the loss of their own General, PIPE, who was killed in the action. This account is confirmed in a private letter from Rome, of the %h ing. received yesterday by a distinguished Nobleman in this metropolis, which states that a desperate action had just been fought between the Austrians and Neapolitans; that the Austrians had been.completely defeated with great slaughter, but that General Pus received a mortal wound. This is no doubt the action alluded to in our Paris intelli gence, as having taken place at Rieti on the 9th of March, and in which it is said General Pars was killed. The distance of Rieti from Rome is some what less than forty miles, so that intelligence of a battle might reach Rome on the day on which it was fought. STOCK EXCHANGE. The first bargains in Consols, this morning, were done from 69 1 / 4 to 70; but it was soon discovered that an express had reached town, from Paris, an nouncing a farther fall in French Stock to 76, when the bustle and anxiety of yesterday was renewed, and Consols dropped to 69 1 / 4 ; but no confirmation arriving of the retorted battle, caused a revival in the droop ing mat ket, and Consols ascended once more to 70. When our Reporter left the Exchange, at one o'clock, Consuls bad declined to 69% Ya, and were looking heavy. A vast quantity of business has been done, and anxiety is depicted on every countenance. The Capitalists, as well as the Public, appear to be getting out of Stock. We are informed that no less than twenty'espresses were dispatched from this country and arrived on Saturday or Monday-at Paris, with orders to sell French Stock at the best prices which could be ob tained. This fact will account for the extraordinary depression of the French Funds. The Duke of YORK, as Commander in Chief, held a Levee yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till a quarter past three. Yesterday the Marquivof GRAHAM arrived at his father's (Duke of Mobrraosa) mansion, in Grosvenor. square, from the hunt at Melton Mowbray. Yesterday Sir THOMAS and Lady LIDDELL arrived at their house in Portland•place, from the Royal Pa• vilion at Brighton, where they have been on a visit to his MAJESTY. Her Royal Highness the Princess SOPHIA, we are sorry to sty, has been much indisposed for these five or six days past, at her new residence in Connaught place. The Duchess of Gtoucesrea and Prince LEOPOLD visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. --• M.

Yesterday afternoon, it half-past flirt o'clock, his Mixtirr arrived at his Palace in Pannell, - from Brighton, in his travelling carriage, 'escorted by party of Light Horse. Soon after the arrival he dined. Preparations were then made fbrhis MA• JZSTY'S first visit to the Italian Opera since his ac cession to the Throne, where every possibie prepara tion was made by the Committee and %inept foe the reception of the Soviamox. . The entrance under the colonnade in the Harnstrket to the Royal Bax,• was covered with scarlet cloth. The anti-room to the Ktio's room *as lined with' white satin, with festoons of gold lace ; the top formed that of a tent. It was furnished with a sofa, and lighted with large wax-lights. The Royal Box was most magnificently fitted up with crimson satin ;did gold lace, the top similar to that of the anti room. The KING and his suite passed through the Concert-room. The Earl of Avis:sawn; Viscount LOWTHER, Count Sr. ANTONIO, Mr.ERERS, and Mr. Avarox, were in attendance to receive his Matzsrt. A few minutes before eig:it o'clock the Royal Oro cession moved from the Palace in the following Order : First Carriage—The Gentlemen Ushers and Exam in Waiting. Second Carriage—Sir W.

His MAJeort- seemed much affected, and bowed repeatedly in token of the sa tisfaction which these convincing proofs of loyalty and good feeling gave him. The vocal part of the loyal Anthem was given alternately by Mesdames Conrottese and Vestals, and Signora Moat; the audience 'unanimously ecstatically jotnuasin the cho rus. His MAJZSTY was in excellent spirits—looked remarkably well, and during the progress of the Opera gave repeated and unequivocal marks of sa tisfaction. The Duke of Ct./tan/cc sat on his left, and the Duke of Yoax on his right hand, while the Dukes of WELLINGTON and MONTROSR, and other distinguished Noblemen occupied the remainder of the box, those on either side being filled by his Mat Jury's suite. In the box immediately opposite to the KING'S was seared the Marchioness of HERTFORD. In the interval between the first and second acts the au dience again rose up, and called for " GOD save the King," which was repeated as at first. After the Opera, a very appropriate and beautiful allegorical scene was introduced into the Ballet, in which Fame is represented pointing to the impressive motto— " GOD save the King," depicted on a rainbow, extend ing completely across the Stage. At the conclusion of the piece for the third ume, " GOD save 'the King" was Played and sung, followed by " Rule Britannia," his MAJESTY standing and bowing to the audience; after which the truly interestingitio- NARCII retired, enthusiastically greeted with loud and' continued acclamations.
