PRI VA TE CORRESPONDENCE.
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.
