have orders from the King or the Prince Regent
" Given at Turin, March t2,•/132.1:
" MARENTJNI, President."
This Proclamation was succeeded on the 24t1
by an " Order of the Day" from the Minister of
War under the new system :
" CuARLES ALBERT, of Savoy, Prince of Carig-
nano, having been invested by his Majesty, "Vic-
TOR EMMANUEL, with the authority of REGENT,
nominated me, by his decree of the 21st inst., to
the Ministry of War and Marine.
cc I am an authority legally constituted ; and,
in the terrible circumstances of the country, I am
bound to make known to my companions in arms
the voice of a faithful subject of the King and of
a loyal Piedmontese.
" The PRINCE REGENT in the night between
the 21st and 22d inst. left the capital, withou
informing either the national Junta or his Mi
nisters of his departure.
" No Piedmontese ought to inculpate the in
tentions of a Prince whose liberal mind and de.
votion to the cause of Italy have been, up to thi:
time, the hope of all good men. A few men, be.
trayers of their country, and leagued with Aug-
tria, have with calumnies and every Species. of
fraud deceived a young Prince who wanted expe-
rience for tempestuous times.
" There has been seen in Piedmont a declara-
tion signed by our King, CHARLE9 FELIX ; but a
Piedmontese King in. the midst of the Austrians,
our necessary enemies, is a King a prisoner.—
Whatever he says cannot and ought not to be
considered as his. Let him speak in a land where
he is free, and we will prove ourselves his chil-
dren.
" Ye Piedmontese soldiers ! ye national
guards ! Do you desire civil war ? do you desire
the invasion of foreigners ? do you wish to see
your fields laid waste, your cities and your
towns sacked or in flames? do you wish to lose
vour reputation, and to disgrace your standards ?
Then proceed., Let the arms of Piedrnontese be
raised against Piedmontese ;' let brothers en-
counter brothers !.
" Commandants of corps, officers, subalterns,
and soldiers ! There is no alternative but this
alone—nnite around your' standards; run to
plant them on the banks of the Tecino and the
Po. The land of Lombardy expects you, the
land of Lombardy, which devour its ene-
mies, as soon as it sees your vanguard-. Woe be
to him whom a different opinion on the internal
affairs of the State alhall keep aloof from this ne-
cessary deliberation. Ile does not deserve to
lead Piedmontese soldiers, nor to bear the ho-
noured name of a Piedmontese snbject.
" Companions in arms ! This is the European
epoch. We are not deserted. France has raised
her head, sufficiently humiliated by the Austrian
Cabinet, and is ready to lend us powerful aid.
" Soldiers and national guard ! Extraordinary
circumstances demand extraordinary resolution.
Your hesitation will compromise your country
and your honour. Bethink yourselves! Do your
duty. The National Junta—the Ministers do
theirs. CHARLES ALBERT will bi en ouraged by
your spirited concord, and Cnaat,Es FEux will
one day thank you for having preserved his
throne.
(Signed) " COUNT SANTORRE DE SANTA ROSA,
" Regent of the Ministry of War and Marine."
In the course of the same day the following
Decree was made public. It had been agreed on
at a Meeting of the Junta, on- the 23d ; after
which they .separated, and it is imagined they
will not meet again :

" TIIt'PROVISIONAL JUNTA,
" Seeing that in the present situation of the
cotwtry, it is above all things most urgent to
preserve public order, and to put an end to every
irregularity in the measures adopted by each
province for the purpose of avoiding anarchy, do
" DECREE
" 1. There shall be appointed for each province a politiCal
chief, on whom shall depend all authorities and offices within
the province, in whatever relates to administration and police.
This political chief shall correspond with the first Secretary of
State for the Home Department, and propose to him the mea-
sures which it may be thought advisable to adopt-
" 11. The indemnity to be granted to the political chief, and
the expence of his office, shall be regulated by a subsequent
Decree.
" 111. The First Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment is charged with the execution of the present Decree.
" Done ut Turin, March 23." " MARENTINI, President.
" DALPOZZO."

The following appears this morning in a Second
,
Edition of The Times :

C 4 LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM PARIS.
THE TIMES OFFICE, 'MONDAY MORNING, 10 O'CLOCK.
" We have this moment learnt, that letters
lave been received from Paris, dated at a late
tour on Saturday.

" Ad vices had on that afte:noon reached the
French capital of the entrance of the Austrian
troops into Naples. They are said to have been
received by the Neapolitans with every demon-
stration 'of joy !

" The ticcoants from Laybach a-re of the 20th
ult. The Emperors of Austria and Russia are
stated to have bound themselves, by a fresh
treaty, to oppose every change of Government in
foreign countries that may have been produced
by the military. The French funds closed on
Saturday at Blf. 25."

We this day received a series of The Com-
mercial .Advertizer; American Paper, from the
13th of February to the 9th. of March inclusive.
The Inaugural Speech delivered by JAMES
Mo:sino, President of the United States, 'on the
7th, of March, is-inserted in The Commercial Ad-
rerlizer of the following day. It is long, and
reached us so late, that we cannot find room for it
. to-day, but it shall appear at full length to-morrow.
The PRESIDENT returns thanks for his re-elec-
tion. He refers to the causes of the prosperity
of the United States, which he considers as per-
manent ; states that the late war had added One
Hundred and Twenty Millions of Dollars to the
Public Debt ; adverts to the fortifications which it
had been deemed proper to erect ; speaks of
the neutrality which had been observed on
the War between Spain and her South Ame-
rican Colonies ; mentions the Buccaneers who
had taken Amelia Island, and of the measures
for removing them ; states the advantages
resulting from the late treaty with Spain ; re-
fers to a treaty with the British Government re-
vived for ten years from the time of its expiration
to a pending negociation with France, commenced

, .
at Paris, anti transferred to New York, to the
relations with the Barbary POweri,-tO the finan-
cial state of the c.ountry, to the Indian tribes, and
finally takes a general view of the situation
and encouraging prUspects of its futUre•and dur-
able prosperity:

We received Spanish Papers this day. An
article, dated Malioni March 6, says, that the A l-
gerines were arming three ships of war with all
expedition to cruise against the Spaniards, for
not having paid the accastonied •tribute; An ar-
ticle, dated Madrid, MarCh 18; announces a
Royal Order for the suppression of Some Con-
vents and the presei-vation of others. In that
city 16 are to remain. Convents are also to be,
suppressed at Toledo, ' Gaudalajeax, Alcala, aiid
other places. The religions belonging to the sup-
pressed. Convents are to be united with others.

A Dutch Mail arrived this Morning-. The
ollowing are its principal contents :
" AMSTERDAM, MARCII '28.---The squadron o
he Netherlands in the Mediterranean has left
?oil Mahon, and sailed for Toulon, where it ar-
rived on the 17th, except the Rhine frigate,
which, is gone to Algiers.
cc AUGSBERO, MARCII 23.—We -learn. from
Italy, that very large Magazines are forming in
the Kingdom of Lombardy for . the Austrian
army ; 4000 men have passed through Clagen-
furth within these four days, on their march to
Italy.
" Letters from Venice contradict the news of
that port's being blockaded, but some Neapo-
litan Ships of War. appeared in the Northern
part of the Gulf, - and - serious apprehensions-
were entertained of their having captured some
merchant-men under the Austrian flag. As soon as
it was known at Venice that the Neapolitans had
shewn themselves in the Gulph, the premium of
insurance and freight rose immediately. The
small Austrian armed .vessels which were in- the
Adriatic, took refuge on the approach of the
Neapolitans in the Port of Ancona-and Zara.
" Numerous reports, even
.more alarming than
the preceding, are circulated; among others, it was
stated that a general spirit of agitation prevailed
at Lombardy. There is no more truth in all this
than the absurd measure of precaution taken by the
Military Governor-General Bubna, when he heard
of the • insurrection in the State of the King o
Sardinia. Several fresh regiments from the in,
tenor of Austria were expected at Milan.'
(Dutch Papers, March 31.)

The Bill for, weakening the KING'S title to
e Thtone, for endangering the Protestant suc-
cession, gradually undermining the Church of
England, and rapidly subret ting that of Ireland,
is passing through the House of Commons with a
success, which gives a most ominous prospect of
its future progress in the House of Lords. The
Jesuits (in force at Stonyhurst), and the other
Catholic Priests are thus about to gain more than
Archimedes required to move the world. They
will gain two firm and solid points, on which to
place their engines, and commence their opera-
tions. The Crown will thus be left to defend
itself, and the Constitution as it may ; and having
seen already a Ministry divided on this great and
vital question, may txpect, e;-t long, to see the
Popish interest prevail among them.—Thus are
we preparing voluntariiy to place our whole se
curity in the hands of one Man; who though a
SOVEREIGN, can never be expected to be more
than man : and if he once should waver, the situ-
ation of the Country under Jaatus the Second
will appear security and peace, compared with
that which must then ensue. There was, at that
time, a resisting power of strength sufficient to
drive the bigotted JastEs to abdication. But
the resisting power will then be gone; both
14nses of Parliament will have espoused the
P4ish cause ; and nothing but a civil war, of
doubtful issue, will ever again be able to restore
the Protestant Ascendancy.—Every sincere Pro-
testant must of necessity be alarmed at placing
power in the hands of Papists. How they will
employ it, may he seen in every page of Euro-
pean history, since the Reformation. Are they
changed ? They cannot change. It is only be-
cause they will not change, even their most
revolting and absurd tenets; that they still con.
tinue Papists. If they could change, they might
he reformed; and then we should be all one
church. But how can infallibility amend itself,
professing, as it does, to be already perfect ? If
then they cannot change, as Doctor MILNER and
every sincere priest of his communion will freely
own, they must for ever continue towards Protes-
tants what history tells us they have ever been.
Are our present Legislators ignorant of' history ?
It cannot be suspected. Why then do they not
fear the results of what they are preparing to
enact ? Because when Protestants shall again be
persecuted for their religion, they see their place
of refuge in the Temple of Indifference. For
surely nothing but an increasing disregard to all
religion could occasion lhe results we now de-
plore. Arguments have been bandied and re-
peated, till all sound arguments are considered as
stale. But truth continues truth, however stale
it may appear; and no truth can be more un-
changeable than this, that for every Papist ad-
mitted to political power, you admit a determined
enemy to the Protestant Constitution. Why ad-
mit such agents, while, without the least injustice,
you can still exclude them ? without the least
infringing on their liberty of conscience, or the
free exercise of their religion. The verses so
happily cited on former occasions, though they
may be thought stale, include still the real es-
sence of the question.
I hear a Lion in the lobby roar ;
Say, Mr. Spakn-, shall we shut the dlor,
And keep him out ? or shall we lot him in,
And try how we can get ban oat again ?

TIMBRa DUTIES.--We are induced to lose no
time in calling the attention of our Readers at
the Outports to the duties about to be imposed
on Foreign and Colonial timber, under the Re-
solutions proposed by Mr. THOMAS WALLACE.—
They require the cautious consideration or prac-
tical men ; as it is, evidently, intended to repeal
the whole of the existing duties, and substitute
those contained in the Resolutions. 'This plan
was not expected by the public ; all that they
contemplated was an increase of duty of 106.peri
