At the giving of every flag by the KING the m,

tary bands struck up, and the guns fired.
After the distribution his MAJESTY descended
from the platform, and, standing in the middle of
the circle formed by the officers, addressed them as
follows :

" Gentlemen,—ln addressing a few words to you, I
am filial with lively emotion, but at the same time with
legitimate pride.
" This beautiful country, seat of the most civilised
people, had long panted for an existence of its own— a
national existence; hut, alas, its wishes were often frus-
trated, and the welfare of the country was made subser-
vient to interests which were foreign to it.
" At last, eighteen years ago, you succeeded in con-
quering this existence, so often longed for by your-
selves.

" Of this independent existence you have made a
noble and patriotic use. You have, up to this moment,
passed gloriously through it, so gloriously indeed that
several countries have adopted your political organizi-
lion as their model—that your name is everywhere ho-
noured and respected, and you have just reason to be
proud of it.

" Let us study to maintain this noble position. Let
us continuo as we have hitherto done. Thus shall we
secure to ourselves renown in history, and a glorious
future."

IliS MAJESTY, attended by the Duke DE BRABANT
and the Minister of War, and followed by a nu-
merous staff, then reviewed the troops and civic

guards.

After the review his MAJESTY and staff took
their station in front of the palace, when the civic
guards and troops defiled before him. MAJESTY
then joined the QUEEN in the balcony, and was
again received, as he had been throughout the
whole day, with the most enthusiastic acclamations.
The ceremony was concluded at five o'clock.—

and of the Executive Government of Tessino, were
read, announcing that on the 17th Marshal RA.

from Milan and Lombardy. Some of them had already
arrived on the frontier, and some thousands of others
were expected. Whoever attempted to enter Lom-
bardy by Tessino was sent back. M. JELINDER made
a report, in the name of the committee charged to exa-
mine what measures it would be advisable to take
on the subject of the note addressed by Marshal RA..
DETZKY to the Government of Tessino. The com-
mittee proposes-1. To charge the Swiss consul at
Vienna to lodge a complaint with the Austrian
Government against the measures of Mar3hai RA-
DETZIC; and to demand their immediate withdrawal.
2. To give notice to this effect to the Austrian am-
bassador. 3. To send representatives into the canton
of Tessino, to protect Swiss interests. 4. To place
at the disposal of the representatives a brigade of two
battalions, 5. In case of adjournment, to authorise
the Vorort to adopt ulterior measures. These eon-
elusions were adopted, with the following modifica-
tions :—(Article 4). The representatives were to be

PIEDMONT.

A rumour was current in Paris yesterday
CHARLES ALBERT had abdicated in favour of his son.
It did not obtain much credit. that

The National Savoisien has the following from
Turin of the 19th inst.:—

" The commandant of the Austrian troops at Placentia
has, for the last several days, levied contributions on the
town for the support of his troops ; the expense will, it
is said, amount to between 7,000 and 8,000 livres. The
town had furnished that sum for several days, waiting
for the organisation of the service of administration, and
the supplies which it had promised to the commandant;
but as that measure was delayed, and it was notified to
the town that it must continue to furnish that sum until
a fresh order, a meetinr, of about 100 of the principal
men of the town took place' to consult on what wax to be
done. It was decided that the town was in no way bound
to provide for the support of the Austrian troops ; and
that the demands of the commandant were contrary to the
convention concluded with Bricherasio. In the evening
there was another meeting, at which it was resolved to
reply to the commandant, who had signified his intention
to employ force, if necessary, to obtain his demands,
that the town had nothing to furnish to the Austrian
troops. After this notification, the commandant made
contracts on his own account."

VENICE.

The Concordia of Turin has the following :

" Venice is now defended by a force of 20:000 meng
1,000 pieces of cannon, and seven ships. The expence
of this force exceeds 3,000,000 a month, and the Whole
revenue of the city does not exceed 200,000 livres. UP
to this time the expense has been met by forced loans,
but these resources will be all exhausted by the end of
this month. A deputation has left Venice to seek as-
sistance in Italy ; in return for money they propose to
give coupons of the loan of 10,000,000 guaranteed b 9
Lombardy and Venice."
