General Fardella, who was dispatched by the Duke
of Calabria to the King of Naples, left Florence on
the 19th, to return to Naples, with a letter addressed
to his Royal Highness.

The Milan Mail has arrived here this morning,
bringing the Gazette of the 21st. We find in it the
capitulation of Aquila, which begins in the following
explicit manner:—" In virtue of the authority con-
ferred upon the Austrian troops by King Ferdinand,
on the 234 of February, Lieutenant-General Mohr
takes possession of Aquila." The first Article is, that
the fortress shall be garrisoned by Austrian and Nea-
politan troops: that the command in chief shall be in
the Austrians; but that the flag of Ferdinand will be
displayed on the walls.
The Prince Regent of Sardinia, it is now ascer-
tained, has gone to the army of Novara, on the Mi-
lanese frontier. In his absence, the Provisional Junta
has issued the following Proclamation :

" VIE PROVISIONAL JUNTA.
" In the actual absence of his Serene Highness the Prince
Regent, and waiting till he make known his intentions, which
have been already explored by us, the Provisional Junta, the
only central authority, assembled to deliberate on the grave cir-
cumstances in which the Commonwealth is placed, having beard
the Deputies of the Magistracy of this City, who are interested
in the order and tranquillity of the Capital, It was resolved, that
a Government is always the first want of society, since its pre-
sence is necessary as well for the order and the tranquillity of
the citizens, as for the preservation of the Commonwealth;
whilst its absence, besides leading to the disasters of anarshy
and civil war, would occasion disorganization in the various
branches of Administration.

" That the functions and the duties of a Government allow-
ing of no intermission, and requiring unity of action, although a
central authority is wanting, the charge of providing for the pub-
lic safety devolves upon that which is present.
" That, in consequence, the great cause of the public safety
imperiously prescribes to'the Junta to remain united till they can
resign the public administration into the hands of other persons
authorized by his Majesty, Charles Felix, or his Serene High-
ness the Prince Regent.
" It has therefore determined, and does determine, that the
Junta, in concert with the persons appointed to the Ministry by
his Serene Highness, will continue to attend to the cares of Go-
venunent in all those affairs that admit not of delay, till they
have orders from the King or the Prince Regent.

" MARRNTINI, President."
By this document it would appear, (and, indeed, I
have heard it from other authentic sources), that the
Prince Regent, before his departure, made no provi-
sion for his absence, and did not even inform the
Junta or his Ministers of his intentions.
