to you. 'The condition of the country is not less
serious now than it was then; the times are not less
difficult. Your fortitude, your honour and faith will
conquer every obstacle. Strengthened by your aid, my
Government will be able to maintain public order, the

against our institutions may be repelled by your assist-
ance. Secure on this score, I; who have consecrated my
life and that of my sons to he cause of Italian indepen-
dence, will rejoice to meet fatigue and danger to obtain
an honourable peace. and that your generous brethren,
who aro ready to tight the 'stranger, and to shod their
blood for their country, may soon return to their fa-
milies. - ' "CHARLES ALBERT.
" Turin, March 13." •
By a decree of the 13th, the King •of SARDINIA.
has named Prince EUGENE of Carignan Lieutenant.
General of the Kingdom during his absence. In the
sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin, of the
14th, Minister RATAZZI officially announced the
rupture of the armistice, which announcement was
received with loud applause. The Piedmontesee press
is unanimous in its approval of the measure, and the
same feeling pervades the great mass of the people.
The Milan Gazette of the 13th announces that on
the 12th a Major of the Sardinian Corps of Engineers
arrived at the head-quarters of his Excellency Field-
Marshal Count RADETZKY, and formally renounced,
in the name of King CHARLES ALBERT, the armistice
concluded on the 9th of August, 1848, between the
two contending armies.
In thus renouncing the armistice CADORNA, the
Sardinian Envoy, stated that though the armistice
has been faithfully observed by the Sardinian army,
neverthele:,s the Austrians had violated all its con-
ditions, among other ways, by not restoring the
moiety of the artillery of Peschiera, by the military
and political occupation of the Dueliies, the blockade
of Venice, and cruelties of all kinis exercisel
towards the people, in lieu of the protection which
had been promised by the Imperial Government to
life and property, &c. In consequence the Govern-
ment of CHARLES ALBERT declares that it is no
longer bound by the armistice, and denounces it
i acco,dingly.
CADORNA was received by RADETZKY with the
most perfect politeness. The Marshal made in-
quiries after the Royal family, endeavoured to keep
the etivov to dinner, and on his taking leave sent
Genera! liess, the Chief of the staff, to accompany
him. The general, on quittir:,..:- CADORNA, significantly
said, a bientot. Immediately after, however, the Mar-
shat's humour changed, and he ordered the seizure of
certain inhabitants to hold as hostages. Orders for
similar seizures were transmittol to ail the towns of
Lombardy. The lives of these persons are not con-
sidered quit- safe, for there is reason to fear a rising
of the inhabitants. The PODESTA. of Milan was
summoned, and to him were shown the preparations
made to lay Milan in ashes on the first symptom of
insurrection.
The following may be considered as an approxima-
tion towards a comparative estimate of the forces
under CHARLES ALBERT and RADETZKY. The for-
mer can put 60,000 men at once in motion. The
troops wider RADETZKY are said to be composed of 29
regiments of the line, 17 frontier battalions, 14 bat-
talions of chasseura, 14 of grenadiers, and 7 regi-
ments of cavalry, which would give about 120,000
men. Supposing all to be complete, but making all
due allowances for absent battalions of regiments,
troops in depots, &c., RADETZKY can dispose directly
of ICO,OOO men. But as 30,000 of these troops are
employed to garrison different fortresses, the army
to be brought into the field is estimated at 70,000.
This army is composed of four corps under Generals

13OLLA.N0.

The following proclamation, dated the Hague,l7th
instant, was issued by the Dutch Ministry on the
death of the King of the NETHERLANDS :
" To the People of the Netherlands!—lt has pieced
the Most High to call to him our will-beloved King
William 11. After an improvement in his state, a hich
gave rise to a deceitful hope, his Mej sty succumbed this
morning at half-past two o'clock. Proloond, grief will
be caused to the .country by the death of s Prince wee
loved his pc;ople übove all 1 His well beloved son
William Alexander Paul Fred.. rick Louis ascends the
throne, in conformity with At t. 13 of the Fteneleteentel
Law. William 111. is King of the Nerherlaeds! Ali
the nation owes him fiielity. Let us be in his name
zealous for the maintenance of the law, of order, of
calm, Orders have • already been giveii to convey to
William 111. the sad news which calls him to the labo-
rious task to 'which his birth and the fundamental law
give him an incontestable right. We hope that every
one in his sphere, influenced by love for the well be•
loved House of Orange, will cooperate with hearty pa-
triotism in assuring by calm and with the grace of God
the welfare of the • country. Until the arrival of' the
King we will employ all our efforts to attain this object.
" Signed by all the Ministers."
In the Second Chamber of the States-General, on
the 17th, the Minister of Marine, as President ad
interim of the Cabinet of Ministers, spoke as follows :
" The most fatal blow which could reach the Nether-
lands falls on us to-day. King William 11. is no more.
Although yesterday there was the hope of a re-etitab•
lishment, a fresh attack put an end last night to the life
of his Majesty, which was so dear and so precious to the
country. His Majesty yielded up his last sigh about
half-past two. Profound grief oppresses our hearts,
and is shared by all the people of the Netherlands,whom
the illustrious Prince knew how to apprc elate. We
thought the first communication of this painful loss
should be made at the first sitting of the Representatives
of the nation, end we now discharge that sad duty.
King William 111. ascends the throne of the Nether-
lands. The Minister of Foreign Affairs left yesterday
afternoon, to communicate to him the alarming state of
his Royal lather, and to press his return to the country.
Dispatches have been sent off to-day to inform him o
the decease. Until the arrival of our veneraiee King
we hope to be able to assure the march of affairs, and to
di: pose of the most urgent business ; and
.vve calculate
on the love of order which distinguishes the Netherland
nation. on its respect tier the deceased Prince and its at-
tachment to the King."
The President of the Assembly replied to this corn-
tnunication in the following terms:—
'• The Assembly receives with deep feelings of grief
the communication which i,as just been made to it by the
Government. The loss of a Prince who stood so high in
the esteem and affseiien of the inhabitants is a calamity
which will be felt by the whole nation. More than
ever we are convincA how necessary it is, in these times
of trial, to have unanimous cofeurter,ce between the
Govi rnment and the national representation. No one
can be willing to remain behind iu the per 'ormance
of this noble task, and all will willingly lend us a
hand in the measures which the general MI/crest de-
mands. Although profoundly grieved by the news com-
municated to us, we are sensible nevertheless that we have
a solid support in the fundamental law to which we
have all sworn, and to which we will bold out our hands.
It directs our regards towards the Prince who 11,4 now
the reins of Government in his hands, and it calls upon
William 111. as the successor of William IL Lst, fidelity
to the fundamental law, and attachment to the King
whom it has given us, fill the hearts of all, and let our
efforts be turned, with all our tome, to preserving the
sat', ty and welfare of the country."
The Chamber then recorded the declaration of the
Government, and decided that a Committee should he
appointed to draw up an address to King WILLIAM
111. The Chamber adjourned sine die the discussion
of the modified regulation which was upon the order
of the day for Monday.
A report was circulated on the Bourse of Amster-
dam on the 17th, that one of the ministers of the late
King WILLIAM 11. has set out for London for the
purpose of engaging the new KING to abdicate in
favour of his son, WILLIAM NICHOLAS ALEXANDER
FIIF.DENIC CHARLES HENRY, hereditary Prince of
Orange, born Sept. 4, 1840, and that this step is
taken at the suggestion and with the concurrence of
the States General. There is, consequently, a talk
of a Regency ; a point upon which the high powers
of the state are, at this moment, unanimous.

MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA.

A letter from Bucharest of the 20th of February
says—" War is imminent. The Russian force already
amounts amongst us to more than 100,000 men. The
Turks also are sending numerous reinforcements.
A body of 20,000 troops from Asia have just passed
the Danube, and 40,000 more are expected. OMER
PACHA has received orders to concentrate the dif-
ferent detachments of the Turkish army which are
dispersed in the country. The new corps of the
'Turkish army which arrive make a sort of tri-
umphal entry, the people receiving them as libe-
rators. Superior Russian officers have been given
to the Moldo-Wallachian militia; but, as deser-
tions were apprehended in the face of the Turkish
camp, orders have been given to sand the greatest
part to Transylvania, where they will be employed,
in concert with the Russian troops, in defending the
fortified places. Orders were at the same time trans-
mitted to the commander of the Russian troops in
Transylvania to have all the refugees of the Walla-
chian revolution arrested. We do not know if
Austria will consent to deliver them up; but what
is certain is, that the Russian General DUHAMEL has
promised to have all the partisans of KOSSUTH
who should seek an asylum in the principalities ar-
rested. This reciprocity of friendly proceedings
causes us to be uneasy as to the fate of our brothers
who have taken refuge in the states of Austria. The 1
Turkish Commissioner has, however, informed
du-
Wallachian authorities that he will not suffer thtoe y

SICILY.
REJECTION OF THE ULTIMATUM.
We learn by correspondence from Palermo of the
Bth, published by the Corriere Livornese, that
Admiral PARKER, who arrived at Palermo on the 7th
with two ships of the line and the steamer Terrible,
together with Admiral BauraN, on board his own
ship, accompanied by the Vauban steamer, saluted
the fort with 21 guns, and hoisted the
Sicilian flag on the mainmast. The two admirals
then waited upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Buz ER A, and said they had brought the ultimatum of
the KING. On the following day the Minister returned
his visit,on board the admiral's ship,. and was..saluttd
with fifteen guns. A council of Aliniqers was after-
wards held. The ultimatum, says !he ktter, will be

" It is not yet certain that the differences between
the English Government and the Emperor of
Morocco are finally settled ; but they are near
being so, although on conditions different from those
