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 connental 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 legiumste 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.
Given at Turin, March IX, 1831.

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 I4th.
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

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. The Court was in full state; the royal
party entered the chamber ;midst the applauses of
an immense number of spectators.
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. His Royal Higuness has tin his aides.
