Advices from Turin of the 12th state that the de-

On the 11th of April all the forts and gates of
Genoa were occupied by the Piedmontese troops, and
the barricades were nearly all removed. General
AVEZZA had taken refuge on board an American
steamer.

M. PLEzzAk, Commissioner of the Piedmontese
Government at Parma, has issued a protest, dated the
sth, against the acts of General D'ASPRE in that city.
It states that the articles of the armistice of Novarra
do not warrant the occupation of Parma by the
Austrains, much less a change in the civil and
political state of the duchy. M. PLEZZA also pro-
tests against the dissolution of the National Guards,
that being only a civil force; and also because,
during an armistice, concluded as a preliminary of
peace, neither of the belligerent parties is warranted
in diminishing the forces of the other; lastly, he
protests against the acts by which the Sardinian civil
authorities are forced to suspend their functions de
facto, which is contrary to the very letter of the
ar-
mistice, and not within the power of the military
authorities who signed it.
In the sitting of the Tuscan Constituent Assembly
of the 2d, GUERAZZI made the following declaration :
—" Upon my soul and conscience, I do not think
that the country can be saved unless the Assembly
adopts the following resolutions :-1. That the
full powers conferred on the Government be
not illusory, and that it may act according to
exigencies, for the weal of the country. 2. That
the Assembly be prorogued for a time
on condition that the Executive take no important
resolution without consulting it, on pain of impeach-
ment. 3. That all discussion on the form of go-
vernment be suspended. 4. That the members of the
Constituent Assembly remain in Florence, to be em-
ployed by the Executive as circumstances may
require." After a strong discussion, the third reso-
lution was passed ; the Assembly prorogued to the
16th, but the members were not obliged to remain in
Florence. It was further declared that the Executive
shall take nc steps to decide the future fate of Tus-
cany without the consent of the Assembly ; but leave
was given to issue two millions' worth of Exchequer-
bills, to provide for the expenses of the war.
The Chief of the Executive Power and the Minis-
try have issued a declaration, stating that there is not
the least foundation for the rumour that they have
made any overtures tending to the re-establishment
in Tuscany of the house of Lorraine.
According to letters received from Parma, several
Austrian regiments are on march towards Tuscany

the Epitaffio, belonging to the Romans, but soon

Government of the Republic has intercepted some
important correspondence coming from Gaeta, and
directed to Civita Vecchia, discovering the plots for
effecting the counter-revolution. Several arrests

who are chiefly priests, is a prelate, and canon of St.
John of Laran.
