Tonne, MARCH 19. - ---Thosgh you must be al ready informed of the principal events which have distinguished the revolution in Piedmont, I shall make no apology for recapitulating a few of them, and thus supplying you with a brief narrative of *WA& occurred since the first anesetain mow nient till the date of my letter. The arrest of Prince Cisterns, on the frontiers of Savoy, as he was returning from Paris, and his con veyance (in chains I have heard) to Finistrella, a fortress in the wildest parts of the Alps, together with the arrest of several of his—friends, convinced the constitutionalists that their projects were known, and thus only hastened their accomplishment. Their object was to gain at first possession of some of the fortresses. The son of the Prime Minister, the Marquis of St. Martian, who was among the number of those suspected, and who was put under arrest in his own house, found means to make his escape, and proceeded to the fortress of Alexandria, whereehis partisans were numerous, both among the citizens and the garrison. There seemed to have been no previous concert between the revolutionary party and the troops. There was nooenfliet of arms. but there seemed at first little acquiescence. The governor opposed the surrender of the fort; the eolonel of the Savoyard regiment of infantry (about 1500 strong) who were in the town, would take no part in the movement, and gave his troops leave or a command to disperse, and the regiment of Genoa was equally wavering and uncertain. In the mean time a body of the citizens, with the troops in the interest of the constitutional party, got and kept poiaat• n of the fortress, and fired salvoes of sail ery, amid shouts of " Viva la Coossiiiatione di Sparta:* On Saturday, the 10th, the intell ~ •genee of what was going on in Alexandria reached the capital, and inspired as much terror into the court as it did hope and resolution into the party opposed to it. No movement took place at Turin indicating a general participation in the designs of the constitu tionalists till Sunday the llth; on the morning of that day a Captain Ferreri, and about 100 privates of the regiment called the oyal Legion, proceeded to the boulevards, beyond Porta Nueva, shouting " Viva it Re, viva la Cotuiiiuziatte di Sparta." A considerable party of students joined the soldiers , shout ten o'clock, and their numbers increased till they amounted toabout 400. At noon, two com panies of the royal guards, two squadrons of car bineers, with a detachment of Piedmont dragoons, proceeded to disperse this body, to the cry of " Viva el Re," they were answered with " Viva la Consti &tient," from the motley group of students and soldiers, armed with pistols and sticks, Who put themselves is a posture of defence. Things remained in this state till• four o'clock, when the latter, seeing that they were not joined by the citizens or troops, retired froth theft' position, pursued by the dragoons, crossed the Po, ascended the heights fronting the city, and on the following day•proceeded to Alexan- &la. The guards and dragoons returned to their station before the• royal palace, where they were joined by some companies of artillery and a battalion of the regiment of Aosta. On Monday morning, the 12th, some of the students and citizens, acting in concert, found means to enter the citadel, where they hoisted the flag of revolution, and proclaimed the constitution. As soon as they entered, they raised the drawbridge, and announced the event by firing three cannon. An immense crowd flocked to the glecis of that fortress, and saw the unexpected spectacle of the garrison upon the ramparts, and the artillery at the garrison, shouting "Viva il Re, viva la Constitusioue di Smile." The !voids, without no longer hesitated to answer -with similar soolansa time and enthusiasm, In this state of things Prince Caripano, the next in succession to the crown to the King's brother, and a young man of popular character, had proceeded from his palace to the ci tadel to ascertain from his own obecivation the extent of the insurrection, and surrounded by enthu siastic multitudes, who, amid the loudest lechuna. ;ions of respect for his person, entreated him to intercede with the King to yield to the wishes of his people, and save them from the horrors of civil war. flee Prince yielded, and repaired instautly to the pa lm., accompanied by about 120,000 of the inhabitants. --- , Tile deputation continued in the palace trom 7 o'clock ht the evening of Monday, till two o'clock in the morning of Wed's** of the Savoy regiment of eav regiment of cavalry, of the infantry, and several , comp gion, kept their station solved not to sign the f'— throne,.
