corps were in communication, and everything was
Frepared for passing the frontiers and entering the

ABDICATION OF THE KING OF SARDINIA!

AND NEAPOLITANS!

We will not detain our Readers, in laying these
important accounts before them, longer than only to
observe, that however convenient it might have been

to suffer them to halt in quiet, but have, by some
means, come upon a part of the Austrian troops
which lay at Rieti, and have defeated them ;

some details of the aristocratical intrigues in that city.
The plan of the Spanish Ultras was to dethrone Fer.

Throne.

PARIS, MARCH 17.
The King of Sardinia has abdicated in lowa
the Prince of Carignan, and he has set out with the
Queen for Nice, where he will embark for the island
of Sardinia.

The Constitution of the Cortes has been generally
proclaimed, and tile Prince of Carignan, wit t the
Federative Army, which increases daily, pursues his
hostile movement against the. Austrians. Ilk newt
is positive.
It is announced that there has been a battle at
Rieti, on the 9th of March ; that the Neapolitan at.
tacked the Imperial Army, which was defeated; that
a great many prisoners were taken; that the action
was very bloody, and that General Pepe was killed.
This is not official, but it is not the less certain.

A report has been mentioned on 'Change, of a
chest, containing funds from Mr. Rothschild for the
Austrian Army, which has been seized by a detach.
