PROCLAMATION.

" Piedmontese warriors !. None of you are ignorant of
extraordinary vicissitudes under which the country groans. Our
misfortunes are already very great. Those ivhith menace, us
are still' greater. It has been attempted to introduce into our
country a form of Government reprehended by three powerful
Monarchs, and their victorious armies will immediately ad-
vance from Naples to overthrow us and to swallow us up.
" Whilst the disturbers of order placed the country in this
great danger, they employed, besides, different modes of seduc-
tion to overthrow all military discipline, in stirring up the sol-
diers by gifts, promises, and saditious discourses, thus renerering
them incapable to our defence, whilst calling up against us in-
numerable enemies. In this state of things all hope appeared
for ever lost, but Divine Providence had conducted into a place
of liberty and security a Prince of Savoy, to whom the crown
belongs by a legitimate right.
4' Charles Felix has spoken ; he has pointed out to every sol-
dier and to every subject the path of duty and honour ; he has
conferred on me the Supreme command of the army ; helpro-
mises reward like a king all those who, with me, labour for
the re-establishment of peace and tranquillity in these countries

not long ago so happy.
" But in the mean time, he will treat as rebels those dis-
turbers who, through obstinacy, continue to call down upon us
the inevitable misfortune of a foreign invasion.
Faithful to that which is required of me by the most sacred
of dutici, I announce to you the orders and the promise of the
Sovereign. Already, in the midst of us, the Prince of Carig-
nano offers the example of obedience. Followed by faithful re-
giments, he has come hither to assist in the common safety.
" Brave warriors ! faithful subjects of every rank and of
every estate ! Rally under the sacred standard of your King.—.
Sustain my efforts. Manifest but one heart and one Spirit. It
is thus you will save the country from the dang.::rs that menace
her. It is thus you will preserve this ancient kingdom and your
ancient glory ; and it is thus that you will present to your most
distant posterity an example of fidelity, of worth, and of the
true love of your country.

" TURIN, MARCH 26. (PRIVATE LETTER.)

" General Santa Rosa has tried to calm the eTervescence
which prevails by publishing an order of the day. But his
Proclamation, which has sophistry for its basis, can deceive no
one. Notwithstanding the efforts made by some persons to
prevint the truth from reaching Turin, we are not blind to our
dreadful situation ; and the sound majority of the inhabitants
of this city see no safety except in a prompt return to the ancient
order of things. Whatever General Santa Rosa may say, the
Duke of Genevois has freely spoken hi mind in the Proclama-
tion he addrested to the Piedlrsontese.

" Threats are now employed to prevent the disclosure of our
real sontiments, and the citadel 6 made an instrument of ter.
ror. The troops in it could not be much relied on ; and it has
been thought advisable.to intrust it to the guardianship of some
hundreds of students returned from Alexandria: But what are
the means resorted to ? and is it supposed that those young
Men will participate in the massacre of their relations and
friends ?

" The report is circulated to-day that the Prince of Carig-
nano is wandering about with a few soldiers in the plains of
Piedmont ; that he first approached Verceil, and afterwards
proceeded to the other aide. A great part of his troops are said
to have abandoned him : while it is known with certainty that
this Prince is at Novara, where he waits for further orders from
the Duke of Genevois. Not a single soldier has deserted him.
" We know not what h4ts become of the Prince of Cisterns,
and two or three other personages who have played parts in the

insurrection.
" It k now ascertained that the letters announcing victories
of the Neapolitan army, and studiously circulated, were fa-
bricated in the house or banker in this city.".---(GestETTE
DE FRANCE.)
" PARIS, Amu, 1.
" A telegraphic dispatch
.announces that the Austrians en-
tared Naples on the 26th.
" It is reported that the Prince of Cisterns has passed thro`
Geneva. Some Journals suppose he is charged with an irn-
Portant mission ; but we believe that he has left Turin for a
very different rerson.
" The King of England will this year visit his kingdom of
Ilanover. That country has not enjoyed such an advantage
since 1755. 4

The successful progrep of Mr. PLUNKETT'S
Bills for the restoration of POPERY, through the
House of Commons, must he deeply distressing
to every friend to the Purest of Religions, and
the best of Political Constitutions.---fn fact, those

Bills are pregnant with the total ruin of our present

Establishment in Church and State. It has been
constantly asserted by the Opposition that Mi-
nisters have too much influence in -the House of
Commons, and that they, at all times, have the
power of securing venal majorities. If this asser-
tion were well-founded, the inference would be
that Ministers Are iodiffereut to the security

of the Constitution, for othirwise they would
exert •their Power in its defence.' The truth is
that these are itreligions times, that a deluge of
sedition and blasphemy has corrupted the pub-
lic press, that the minds of men have been ren-
dered regardless of every thing but their tempo-
rary interests, and are too much disposed to think
that " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof."
But we do not yet despair. We trust that a dif-
ferent fate will attend these alarming, we might say
these pernicious Bills, in the house of Lords. The

members of that house have a permanent interest
in the security of our present political and eccle-
siastical establishment, and therefore may be ex-
pected to be more alive to any dangers that may
assail it. The House of Commons is a fleeting
and a casual body, and the very passing of the
Pills in question is a proof that some reform is

necessary to improve the representation of the
people at large. But even supposing it were
possible that the. Bills should proceed through
the Upper House with equal success, yet we
trust that the true friends of the country will rely
on a Monarch who knows the sentitnents,
the principles, and' the determinations of his late
revered father, and will resolutely follow
his path.—Our late excellent Monarch was
firmly devoted to the Constitution in Church and
State. He felt the most awful conviction of the
force and sanctity of the CORONATION OATH,
that solemn compact between the Sovereign and
the People, and we ate persuaded that his
august Successor will not be less resolute in
guarding the Constitution from a Popish As-
cendancy, which, if remotely, would cer-,
tainly produce all the horrors of a Civil War,
and finally reduce this free and happy cowl,-
try to a slavish vassalage under a Power who
holds his religious Creed to be infallible, and
deems it an essential- duty, in order to secure
salvation hereafter, to iacritice all who presume
to differ from it in the slight-est degree.

DOVIR, APRIL 2, 6 P.M.—An Express has this
moment arrived at Dover, Which states that the
war between Austria and Naples has entirely
ceased. A Convention, it is stated, has boen
signed, which is the cause of the cessation of

Hop-DUTY.--It will be seen by the following
communication that the Lords .of the
Treasury have 'been .pleased to suspend
.the pay-
ment of the Hop Dnty, due on the growth of the
,last year, upon the same conditions as on for-
mer years:—

" Treasury: Chambers, March 27, 182 k
" Sin—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury
having had under their consideration a Memorial from the Hop
Planters of the County of Kent, requesting that further time
may be allowed for the payment the Duties due from them ;
I have it in command to acquaint you, for the information of
the parties concerned, it appears to my Lords that the reasons
which induced this Board to grant the indulgence in question
last Session, exist; in equal force, at the present moment—their
Lordships have therefore been pleased to authorise the Corn.
missioners of Excise to allow the same time for the payment of
the Hop Duty this season on the like conditions. •

The SPEAEER'S last Parliamentary Levee for
the present Session, will be on Saturday next,

We are happy to say the Duchess of GLOU-
CESTER'S cold was much better yesterday.
Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE
rode out in their carriage, and visited the Duchess
of KENT and the Princess Sopuii.

On Sunday and yesterday, the Princess Au..
GUST A. dined with the Duke and Duchess of
CLARENCE.

Last night the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE
and the Princess AUGUSTA honoured Drury-Lane

nesses sat in the KING'S box.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--Captain FREDERICK FIT -
CLARENcE, son of his Royal Highness the Duke of CEA-
' RENCE, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar Lady Au-
OtsTA BOYLE, daughter of the Earl of G tetsnow.
We have received a letter from the Earl of FIFE, in which
his Lordship angrily complains of our having said, that he paid
a visit to Brandenburgh House, and absented himself from the
KING'S Drawing Room. If we had said any thing of the kind,
and found that we were incorrect, we should certainly hare
rectified our error. But there is none to rectify. It was of
; Earl GREY we spoke when we mentioned the visit to Bran-
denburgh House, and the absence from the Drawing Room ;
not of the Earl of FIFE. - His Lordship will discover this, if
he takes the trouble to read the paragraph a second Lime.—

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. ELLISTON.—It IS %VIED
pain we have tO"tecord another and a very melancholy instance
of the uncertainty of , human exietenee. Mrs., Et las T 0 al,
the wife of Mr. ELLISTON, 'of Drury-lane Theatre, retired
to rest, in Stratford-place, on Saturday night last, at her usual
hour, in better apparent health than' she had enjoyed for some
time past. She bad not been in bed long, when she was at-
tacked by an hysteric affection, to which, during the last two
years, she had been subject, and Wminutes she was nurnore.
Mrs.' ELLISTON was well known in the most respectable circles
' in London, Bath,' Leamington, and elsewhere ; and known
only to be admired and beloved; she was not more remarkable
for her personal accomplishments, than for the 'rare and
exemplary excellence of her private character. Her age was 46.
She had been married to L. Eatrwrox four and twenty
years, and had borne him ten children, of whom nine are living.
Mr. EatisTosr, after officiating at the Drurp-Lane Theatrical
Fund Dinner, at Freemasons' Hall, or. Friday evening last,
returned to' Mrs. ELLISTON' in Stratford-place, and set off On
Saturday morning, at five o'clock, for Leamington, to attend a
trial at the 'Warwick Assizes. He had not the consolation,
therefore, of being with Mrs. ELLISTON in her last moments.
He was sent for express, and reached home, with his eldest
son, in great affliction, at an early hour yesterday morning.
CDATTERLEY, the Comedian, late of the Bath Theatre and 4
English Opera House, who went down to perfmui at the Lynn
Theatre a short time ago, died there last week. His health
had long been in a declining state. He was formerly the cele-
brated performer of juvenile characters at Drury-lane Theatre.
The accounts from Parise of the death of Madame FODOR,
are contradicted by letters received yesterday. Though her re-
covery was considered impossible, it seems she is again able to
perform at the Parisian Opera.
Dr. PARRY, late surgeon of the Havannah frigate, one of
the ships which conveyed BUONAPARTE to St. Helena, was
unfortunately killed, on Friday last, by a fall from his horse
near Carmarthen;

Mr. BROUGHAM, her MAJESTY'S Attorney-GeneTal, has.
been under the necessity, in consequence of indisposition, of
returning the briefs he *had received at our Assizes, and on
Thursday (20th ult.) left here for Brougham }fall, Westenor-
land.,(Lancaster Gazette.)
