The intelligence from the seat of war, contained in
the Italian papers, is deprived of much of its interest
by the telegraphic dispatch announcing the abdica-
tion of CHARLES ALBERT, which hes been received by
the French Government. The Naziene of Turin of
the 23d contains the following announcement

" Whilst we write, 10 P.N., we are told of the arrival
of an estafidte from the camp, announcing that the divi
sions of the Duke of Genoa (Piedmont and Pinerolo),
and those of General Bos (Acqui and Casale), have
fallen upon the enemy, defeated him, and made a great
many prisoners. This intelligence is also conveyed to
us by a letter we have just received by extraordinary
means from Vercelli, dated this day, in which it is said
that a rumour is current in that town that the .Austrians
have been beaten on two points."

The same journal of the 24th publishes the follow-
ing official proclamation :
" Citizens,—The bulletin of this clay informs you of
the real situation of the army. The King and the
Princes are at Novarra. Our brave soldiers are concen-
trated there, awaiting the order of their General to at-
tack the enemy. Do not credit insinuations to the cc:m-
-u ary. When other accounts arrive they shall he im-
mediately published. Preserve that sense of security
which alone can render you worthy of the cause we have
to defend. The Government has provided for all wants
and is prepared to meet every contingency.
(Signed) " RATTAZZI, the Minister of the Interior.
" Turin, March 23, 1849."
The Piedmontese Gazette of the evening of the 24th
contains the following official announcement :

TURIN, MARCH 24, 1 P.M.
" We have no news front head-quarters, consequently
all the reports current are false. Only the Intendant of
Vercelli reports to us, that yesterday a corps of the
enemy having approached that town, was forcer), after
a fusillade of an hour, to fall back on Palestra. The few
troops in Vercelli have been formed into a provisional
battalion, and have surrounded the town to prevent
surprise.

" The Minister of Interior, RATTALZL"
The Minister at the same time issued the following
proclamation to the National Guards :
"The military movements of the enemy have carried
the war across the Tessin into the ancient territories of
the kingdom. Let us have confidence in God and the
holiness of our cause, the bravery of our arms, and that
of our magnanimous King and his brave sons. But since
the theatre of war i. in the midst of us, and since a first
defeat would be doubly perilous, it imports the more to
provide immediately fur all eventualities. National
Guards, the army is before the enemy, it has already
been engaged with him, and a great battle is shortly ex-
pected. It belongs to you to support the army should it
be overcome by the enemy's forces. Courage, then, and
let all true Italians show themselves such. Let all those
who respond to the appeal of the Government present
themselves in twenty. four hours before the local autho-
rities, who will send them by detachments to the places
appointed by the Government who will supply them with
provisions. The appointed places are—Chivassa, Car-
magnola, Lanslebourg (for the two divisions of Savoy),
Vercelli, Alexandria, Novi, and Acqui. There the vo-
lunteers will be trained to the use of arms, and then
sent to the points where their presence may be the most
necessary. Soldiers, your day has come You have be-
fore your eyes the noble example of Hungary. Show
that your country is not less beloved by you, and that
the virtue of self-sacrifice dwells in the hearts of
Italians. Soldiers, the army which exposes its breasts
to the Austrian cannon looks to you and expects you!
RiTTAZZI."

The Genoa Gazette of the 23d instant quotes a
letter from Modena of the 19th, stating that the
garrison, composed of 700 men, was ordered to resist
the people, but to retire immediately before a regular
Tuscan, Roman, or Piedmontese force.
The DUKE had transferred the seat of his govern-
ment to Brescello.

The intelligence from Rome is of the 19th inst.
On the preceding day the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, RuscoN!, deposited on the table of the Con-
stituent Assembly an address signed by some mem-
bers of the National Assembly. MAzzINI had been
chosen to reply to the address. MAsiztNt informed
the Assembly that he should in five or six days want
5,000,000 francs for urgent purposes, and to hasten
the mobilization of the National Guards. The sum
was at once voted.

The C.ncordia of Turin states from Naples,
of the 16th, that a Ministerial change is expected
to take place there, by which SERRA CAPRIOLA would
be called to the presidence of the Council.
