TURIN, MARCH 14.—0 n the I Ith the King published a proclamation, in which he deplored the defection of the garrison of Alexandria, and announced his confidence in the fidelity of his 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 " Vive Ic Rai," with the exception of 300 men who had hoisted the flag of independence in she citadel. It appears that this beginninr , 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 tool• 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 for Foreign Affairs, took the resolution of abdicating, 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 officiul notification of the event was communicated to the fbreign ministers resident at Turin. A longer time elapsed before it was made 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 conveyance. Their Majesties the King and Queen have announced their intention of retiring to Nice until the provision to be made fbr them shall be determined The King and Queen took leave this morning of the Prince de Carignaum. lie requested permisston to follow them ; but the King com manded him to remain at Twin, to maintain the public tranquillity. The following proclamation were issued here on the ltitb and 13th :-- PROCLAMATION 01" THE KING. Victor Emmanuel. by the Grace of God. King of Sardinia...lc. Since the toy it has pleased God to recall us to the govern • Meta of our continental dominions, all our care has been di rated 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 botlt animosities and every species of party spirit. 'Cite sentiments of our subjects have been reciprocal to our own and it is to theui, as well as to us, that the circumstances is owing, to the admiration of till Europe. that in the midst of the troubles which have agitated our States, the most perfect tran quillity, up to the present period, has been preserved in our faithful provinces./ since our return, also, we have Mt pler.suro in distinguishing our military subjects by particular milks of afiection--41 distine lion which was returned on their part by unequivocal proofs of union fool fidelity. hut at the present moment, while our provinces and our army in emend have preserved the line et duty, certain militaryhantis, deal to our former gracious instances of regard, persisting in their Mt-obedience, have abandoned their officers, and have shut them. selves up in the fortress of Alexandria.

At the moment, whim we pipe our person arid our cause in the hands of Divine Providence; at this moment, when we recommend our person and our cause to the liminess of out faith ful subjects, our cumeience and our paternal affection oblige us to derou ci-.

FRANKFORT, MARCH IS.—(Extracts from pri vate letters.) --The correspondence with Naples has us yet experienced no interruption. The last letters from that country, which are to the 26th February, contain the follotving details:— 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 organisation 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 circuinstances, shows the greatest zeal fbr 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 ; awl 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 ,vith the consent of the Piedmontese government. A considerable quantity of arms and munitions of war, despatelitxl from diffigent foreign ports, has also arrived here. MADRID, MARCH 10 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 ►pirit of fermentation which pre vails among sonic of the officers of the guard; and a letter of Gen. Campana, the principal of the accused, which has been intercepted, appear to have caused this new resolution on the part of the political caief. (PRIVATE CORRiSPONDENC Our situation begins to change The new minis ters having manifested an intention to strengthen the royal authority, this determination has had an 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—liersisc 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 at' the King. The secret sittings ut the Cm tea (and they take place every day) are extremely stormy. In that of the day before yesterday M. Zapata proposed that no reply should ever be given to confidential communications titan the King, and that no document coining Twin his Majesty should ever be read in the Cortes, unless countersigned by one of his ministers. A very violent discussion titllowed ; but the motion W4B supourted by only finirteen votes, among 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 M..jeaty himself that com posed it.

The deputation having been introduced to the audience chamber, Signor Catalano addressed his Royal Highness at considerable length, and his Royal Highness replied very satisfector4ly. Yesterday morning the national parliament opened its session, for 1821. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent insisted at the solemn ceremony with her Royal Highness the Ditchers of Calabria, his wife, his august family, mid the Prince of Salerno, his brother. - The Court was in full state; the royal party entered the chamber amidst' the applauses of an immense number of spectators. After ascending the throne, his Royal Ilighne. , s complimented the extraordinary parliament on their exertions, assured the nation of his continued anxiety to their lihcrties and happiness, and expressed his reliance that the troops and the people would act as men, who were resolved not to become the slaves of tyranny. At the conclusion of his speech, his Royal High ness was cheered with the loudest acelamatium, which were repeated when he retired with his suite. The President Arcovito answered with dignity, expressing the sentiments with which the parliament and the nation are penetrated towards his Royal Highness. MARCH 6..--The most perfect tranquillity reigns in the capital and throughout the kingdom, notwith standing the departure of the troops for the frontiers. Naples, with the exception of the forts, is guarded by the inhabitants, who have funned themselves into a civic guard : this body, composed by a select corps of citizens, is remarkable fur 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 removed from the capital a body so essentially 'seminary to the maintenance of order and tranquillity. The following is a statement, copied from the official accounts, of the cotnposition, the numerical tbrce, and the names of the generals and superior ottimrs of the regiments which compose the military forces of the kingdom:— The civic guard is composed of landholders 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, vis. 5,000 infantry and 2,000 t ..airy. This corps had also asked permission to march against the enemy : but thc government, while it acknowledged the interest it felt in so noble a devotion, assured the commander that his brave soldiers should be employed it' necessity required it. The army in the field is divided into two great commands; the first is intrusted to Lit:lot...Genera Pepe, and occupies the Abruzzi. This corps (Carom is composed of 4.0 battalions and some squadrons. Majors General Itullo, Verdun) s, hold brigades in it. The second tarps, which is the moat considerable, is commanded by Lieut.-Lien. Carascusa. The Prince Regent departod for the army, sc. companied by Lieutenant-General Parisis, and the Duke of Ascoli, Grand Equerry and ail ancient friend of the King. Prince Leop:11.1 de Salerno, the brother of the Prince Regent, wishes to fiAlow his brother. His Royal Highness has for his aides de-camp Prince Diego Piguatelli, and the larquis tie Bramaschio.
