THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1821.

Yesterday evening we received the Paris Papers of
Sunday and Monday, which have brought some far-
ther particulars respecting the Piedmontese Revolu-
tion. The insurrection, as before known, commenced
with the garrison of Alexandria; and it would ap-
pear that the King, VICTOR ENSMA NV EL, had not been
long in deciding on his abdication—a pretty positive
proof that the sentiments of the Military in other
quarters were in unison with the troops in Alexandria.
The insurrection of the latter was on the 10th instant,
and on the 12th, .in the evening, the Ktun resolved
to abdicate in favour of his brother, the Duke of
Gcsavots; but this Pi lila being absent, the Prince
de:Cattoita 71: was appointed Regent of the Kingdom.

The Proclamationof his MsiasTy deserves parti
cnlar attention, not only respecting its immediate
cause and object, but on account 'of the light it af-
fordssrespecting.fre nature of that bond of iniquity, •
called the Holy Alliance. VICTOR Emu A Num. in-
forms his late subjects," That by a precis-, nattni.
wow, and very recent deliberation, the G REA r Powanis,
his Allies, have resolved, that never, in any case,
shall any act, tending .to subvert the political and /c-
-sil ism& order which exists in Europe, be '4 p proved, and
still kiss supported by any of them."—But this is not
all—" on the contrary, the three Powers of Austria,
Russia, and Prussia, will avenge, with an armed
,force,
every
.attempt opposed to the pre,ervation of this or-
der!' To say nothing of the impiety of such a band ar-
rogating to themselves the title of "t/re Great Powers!"
title not proper to any of the sons of men—let
us take this title in the vaunting light in which they
feel themselves " great"—say, stronger than other
States, to which they, therefore, presume to dictate,
precisely in the feelings and spit it of an arrogant
bully ; for what right can they claim but that of
being the strongest, to interfere in the internal affairs
of other Independent States ?—But letting this rest
for the prescut,—these are " the Great Powers r'-
What, then, are France and England? Or does he
include these Powers, without naming them, and
thereby assert the truth of the Austrian Declaration,
•that the feeling of dime Powers is with the Holy
men of Troppau, though both have thought fit to
declare themselves neutral.

Be this as it may, let us recollect that the race is
not always to the swill, nor the batik to the strong. The
writer of the present article recollects well the boasts!
of the Prussians, when, at the commencement of the
revolutionary war, their Army was ordered to marc4
to Paris. The present boasts are not greater, nor
the means put in array against the revolutionized
States more threatening than they were then; but
the Sun had not performed many revolutions ere it
was our lot to be the first to announce to the British
Public the destruction of the Duke of BauNswicres
Army !
How stands the comparative state of parties now
to what it was then, as to physical strength and re-
sources? Infinitely to the disadvantage of those who
have been boasting before putting oa their armour l
At that time Prussia and the other Legitimates, as
they now please to be called; had armies well disci-
plined and organized—such mere' unthinking ma-
chines, that they had only to b* put is motion for
any purpose, however wicked. Is it so now? No,
no! Three or four men may league against man-
kind—say even a dozen—but, they have lost their
right arm ; it is palsied and withered as to them : nay
more, it is 'turned against them; for the military
everywhere are declaring.for the people. We except
not even the Austrian army; for enough transpires,
in spite of the continental censorship; to inform us
of the mind that pervades it. How came so many
Austrian Officers to be put under arrest? And shall,
we believe in the possibility of the Officers being
tainted, without the infectioh having reached the
ranks?. Impossible!
We say nothing of the Revolutionary spirit said
to have already manifested itself in the North of
turope. If not yet strikingly visible, its existence
is not the less certain. But passing this at present,
the physical and moral strength opposed to the inva-
ders of Independent States, is sufficient to insure
theft overthrow, and'to force back the rolling tide
'upon their own heads ! The Great Powers, ere long,
" will have been.' Like Pharaoh and his followers,
they will be overwhelmed in the sea which they have
braved with their mighty hosts.

The eported engagement between the Neapolitans{
and Austrians, at Itieti, is confirmed by accounts re-
ceived at Inspruck and Frankfort, but there are no
further details.—The following are extracts from the
Journals received :
