Doub less we have no occasion to order that his Majesty, with his Royal Consort and his family, and all their suite, shall have the liberty to travel and to sojourn in any part of the continental dominions that he inay pleit.e to visit, and shall everywhere expo. rience that di•ep veneration which corresponds with the sentinients of gratitude and love which ire imprinted in the hearts of all his subjects, which are so justly due to him for his virtues and for the re .establisliment and aggrandisement of this monarchy.

Given at Turin, 13th March, in the year ot our Lord tom (Signed • CHARLES ALBERT. FROIRFORT, MARCH 13.—(Extracts from pri vate letters.)—The correspondence with Naples has as yet experienced no interruption. The last letters from that country, which are to the 26th February, contain the thllowing Naples is entirely stripped of troops. The corps which were still there at that date have now marched to join the army; but instead of advancing on the Garigliano they have proceeded towards the Abruzzi. Other troops have also taken the same route. The division of Ambrosio is gone to Celano. The infantry regiment of the crown was the last that left Naples. The organization of the free corps continue with unexampled activity. They march as soon as they are formed to the frontiers. All the posts at Naples are occupied by the civic guard, which, under the present circumstances, shows the greatest zeal for the maintenance of order. Go vernment has also taken measures for the preserva tion of tranquillity in the provinces. The rise of provisions continues, because great purchases are 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 16 cargoes of corn, which had been shipped at Genoa with the consent of the Piedmontese government. A considerable quantity of arms and munitions of war, despatched from different foreign ports, has also arrived here. 'foam, MARCH 14.—On4he I Ith the King * published a proclamation, in iallikh he de lured the defection of the garrison or Alexandria., announced his con fi dence in the fi delity of _ _ people and of the regiments of Turin. The troops of the capital in fact, not only appeared to dismiss all thoughts of insurrection, but uttered cries of " Jive lc 1?oi," with the exception of 300 men who had hoisted the flag of independence in the citadel. It uppears that this beginning of revolt in the gar 'rison took place on the spreading of the news that the troops of Alexandria were marching on the capital. The people remained wholly tranquil, and took no part in this movement. In the evening of the 12th, the King at the conclusion of a council, which was held on the ar rival of the Minister tor Foreign Affairs, took the resolution of alalicating, and of transmitting the crown to his brother, the Duke de Genevois. But 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 provisional exercise of of the sovereign authority was confided to Prince Carignan°, 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 made known to the people and the army. During the whole of the 18th and part of this day the Court of the Royal Palace was filled with the equipages of the Royal Family engaged for their conveyance. Their Majesties the King and Queen have announced their intention of retiring to Nice until the provision to be made for them shall be determined The King and Queen took leave this morning of the Prince de Carignan°. He requested permission to follow them ; but the King com manded him to remain at Tulin, to maintain the public tranquillity. The following proclamation were issued here on the 12th and 13th : I PROCLAMATION OF THE KING. Victor Emmanuel, by the Grace of God, King of Sardinia,&c. Since the day it has pleased God to recall us to the govern • meat of our connenta l dominions, all our care has been di rected to confer on our subjects instances of our paternal regard. We have endeavoured, above all, to cherish among them the spirit of union and concord, and to banish both animosities and every species of party spirit. The sentimenus of our subjects have been reciprocal to our own ; and it is to them, as well as to us, that the circumstances is owing, to the admiration of all Europe, that in the midst of the troubles which hate agitated our States, the most perfect . tran quillity, up to the present period, has been preserved in our faithfui provinces.. Since our return, also, we have felt pleasure in distinguishing our military subjects by patticular marks of affection—a tlistinc lion which was returned on their part by unequivocal proofs of union and fidelity. But at the present moment, white our provinces and our army in general have preservers the line of duty, certain military bands, dear to our former gracious instances of regard, persisting in their disobedience, have auanuoncil their officers, and have shut cam selves up in the fortress of Alexandria. We perceive with inexpressible grief the danger to which this obduracy of these evils exposes not only die tranquillity but even the intlepentisnce of the country. At tilts moment, when we place our person and our cause in the hands of Divine Providence; at this moment, when we recommend our person and our cause to the firmness of our faith ful subjects, our conscience and our paternal affection oblige us to declare— That by a recent and unanimous deliberation, the Great Powers, our allies, have resolved, that in nu case whatever shad any act tending to subvert the political and legitimate order in Europe be approved, and sub less be supported, by any of them. That, on the contrary, the three powers, Austria, Russia, and Prussia will tcvetige by an armed force everyattenipt 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 recognise, and yet more not to co operate in any act which may give rise to fote'.gn invasion ; con stant to the principle of employing every means for sparing . the blood of our beloved subjects, we open here our whole nand, and give at the same an alleviation to our grief, in making known to all in the face of huiepe, tnat the enure blame will rest upon the disturbers of tine le g iumste order, if ever any other anoy than our own shall show itself in the interior or out states, or if ever —tire thought of which afflicts us most deeply—the scourge ot civil discord shall visit our people, whom we ever have and ever have and ever shall cherish, as part of our own 'inlay.

We make.known that hi s Majesty, King Va tor liminanucl. in abdicating the croon, has conierrect !lib whole authority upon ut. ' with the title of Regent. We invoke the divine wistance ; and, in announcing that we will to-niurrow manife6t our intentinub conformably to the gene ral wish, we tle6ne ' in the meantime, that ev er y ho6tility 61.411 immediately cease, and that no ptovocation u Lo_Lity may t.ke plane. .... at.. _ . __ , MADRID, .MARCH 10 —We learn from Cadiz that the guarding of the prisoners confined in the depot of St. Ferdinand, on the charge of being the actors in the affair of the 10th ult. require such measures of security, that the political chief has thought it his duty to call in farther troops to rein force the already numerous corps employed on this service. A train of artillery surrounds the fortress, and renders all communication with the prisoners impossible. The spirit of fermentation which pre vails among some of the officers of the guard; and a letter ofGen. Campana, the principal of the accused, which has been intercepted, appear to have caused this new resolution on the part of the political c:iiel. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) Our situation begins to change The new minis ters having manifested an intention to strengthen the royal authority, this determination has had un extraordinary influence on the tone of our journals and the language of our orators. A great part of the deputies, however—those who are intimately connected with the dismissed ministers—persist in making charges against the King, in the public sit tings. Persons who judge without prejudice per ceive, nevertheless, a model of prudence and veneration in the conduct of the King. The secret sittings ot the Cortes (and they take place every day) are extremely stormy. In that of the day before yesterday NI. Zapata proposed that no reply should ever be given to confidential communications from the King, and that no document coining Frain his Majesty should ever be read in the Cortes, unless countersigned by one of his ministers. A very violent discussion followed ; but the motion was supoorted by only fourteen votes, amoag which was that of Torreno. The conjectures respecting the real autohr of the King's speech are endless I can assure you that it was his Majesty himself that toe posed it. A letter from Turin, dated the 1.5:11, contains the following details:— On toe 13th of March the Regent, nines, of Carignano, after having taken the counsel of the municipality of Turin, proclaimed the constitution of the Cortes of Cadiz us the law of the state. Next day (the 14th) the Prince organized a j , inia of government. We have no other Ultimo:moo respecting the affairs of Piedmont than that whicii may be collected from the official document, pruned and published at Turin on the I Silt and I 4th. NAPLES, NIA4Cii L. —Ott the eve , lini: ot the 27th of last month a deputation want(' oa the Prtace Am.- Ee~ Regent to announce to I, im the close of the extra• ordinary parliament. and the opening of the °Minify session. The deputation having been introduced to the audience chamber, Signor Catalano addreeted his Royal . Highness at considerable kngth, and kis Royal Highnets replied very satisfactorily. Yesterday morning thenational parliament opened its session for 1821. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent assisted at the solemnperensony with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Calabria, his wife, his august family, and the Prince of Salerno, his brother.

After ascending the throne, his Royal Highness complimented the extraordinary parliament on their exertions, assured the nation of his continued anxiety to their libertie. and happiness, anti expressed his reliance that the troops and the people would act as men, who were resolved nut to become the slaves of tyrant:T. At the conclusion of his speech, his Royal High. ness was cheered with the loudest acclamations, which were repeated when he retired with his suite. The President Arcuvito answered with dignity, expressing the sentiments with which the parliament and the nation are penetrated towards his Royal Highness. MARCM 6 .—The most perfect tranquillity reigns in the capital and throughout the kingdom, nutwitl standing the departure of the troops for the frontiers. Naples, with the exception the forts, is guarded by the inhabitants, who have formed themselves into a civic gnarl : this body, composed by a select corps of citizens, is remarkable for its excellent order, its exact discipline, and its attachment to the dynasty of the Bourbons and the constitutional government. This corps desired to march to the frontiers and to make the campaign with the active army; but .the parliament would not consent to see rewesed from the capital a body so essentially necessary to the maintenance of order and tranquillity. The following is a statement, copied from the official accounts, of the composition, the numerical force, and the names of the generals and superint officers of the regiments which compose the military forces of the kingdom:— The civic guard hi composed of landhole,?rs and merchants, and is divided into four regiments of infantry and two of cavalry. The gendarmerie, which is likewise a civic guard, composed of the flower of the army, is 7,000 men strong, viz. 5,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry. This corps had also asked permission to march against the enetay : but the government, while it acknowledged the interest it felt in so noble a devotion, assured the commander that his brave soldiers should be employed if necessity required it. The army in the field is divided into two great commands; the first is Intrusted to Lieut.. General Pepe, and occupies the Abruzzi. This corps darner is cotuposed of 40 battalions anti some tiquadsints. Majors General Rulfu, Verditiu s, &c. hold brigade* in it. The second corps, which is the most considerable, is commanded by Lieut.-Gen. Carascusa. 'Fite Prince Regent departed thr the army, ac. companied by Lieutenant-General Parisis, and the Duke of Grand Equerry and an ancient friend of the King. Prince L.:opoLl de Salerno, the brother of the Prince Regent, wishes to follow hi' brother.
