DARMSTADT, APRIL s.

M. D'Anstell, Russian Minister at Frankfort and
also at eur Court, has just delivered to the Grand
Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, a letter from his Majesty
the Emperor Alexander, in which his Majesty ex.
presses his satisfaction at the establishment of a con.
stitution in our Grand Dachy, and his approbation
of the principles on which it is founded.

VIENNA, APRIL s.

His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and his
nister, Prince Metternich, have not neglected, amidst
their important occupations, to think, while at Lay.
bath, of the interests of the Order of Malta, as we
perceive by some Decrees, dated from that city, re.
lative to that ancient and respectable Order. Among
other favours conferred by the Sovereign are, the re-
storation of the Palace of the Prior, at Venice, and of
the Church and its dependencies : these buildings
being calculated for the abode of the Knights of the
Order, if they should desire to assemble there. Some
particular privileges are also spoken of, which are
granted to the Knights, and which prove that the
Order of Malta may hope one day to recover its
ancient splendour.
I,: is believed that the revolution in Naples and
in Piedmont will at least have the good effect of lead-
ing to the introduction of a Constitutional Govern.
ment in the Italian States. The report of an Italian
Congress, at which all the Sovereigns of the Penin-
sula will attend, to deliberate on the bases of an ha.
Tian Confederation on the model of that of Germany,
gains ground daily, and becomes most positive.
We have not yet heard anything to induce a be-
lief that the Russian troops, ordered to begin their
march, had received counter-orders.

Private letters from Barcelona, of the 4th instant,
state, that on the preceding day the Neapolitan Ge-
neral Pepe, with some of the Members of the late Re-
volutionary Government, had arrived there in a small
vessel from Naples. Pepe immediately sent off letters
to the Neapolitan Minister at Mad: id, informing bim
of the events that had taken place.

Halifax Papers arrived this morning to the 29th
of March. The Provincial General Assembly was
prorogued by the Lieutenant-Governor on the Sd of
March, in a speech in which he commends them far
the harmony which had prevailed in their delibera.
tions, and thanks them for the liberal supplies they
had granted for the public service.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.
If credit may be given to a private letter from Turin,
in the Gazette de France, the Constitutional army d
Piedmont had not behaved quite in so dastardly a
manner as has been represented. The affair between
them and General LATOUR and the Austrians, is said
to have been keen and sanguinary; and to have lasted
from nine o'clock in the morning till three o'clock in
the afternoon, when the Constitutionalists dispersed.
The letter will be found among the other enacts,
which we subjoin.
Marshal VICTOR, Duke of BELLUNO, who Was
lately appointed to the command of the Sixth, Se-
venth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Military Divisions
of France, with extraordinary powers, has published,
from his head-quarters at Lyons, an Order of the
Day, highly complimentary to his troops, on then
steady, faithful, and energetic conduct, during the
disturbances which broke out in that city, and It

says, that the seditious movement was confined to
some imprudent young men, and to persons of the
lowest description. The imprudent young wen eig!
the Law Students of Grenoble. The Marshal le
pleased to treat with very little respect the te►ek'
tionazy party at Piedmont; he speaks of themes but
a factious handful.

TURIN, APRIL 9.
(PRI VATE CORRESPONDENCE).
We are every moment in expectation of the Ao
trians. The following are some details of the sor
guinary affair which has taken place:
On the 3d of this month, General Latour, in orclif
to divert the attention of the self-styled Co:lstituto:el,
Army, made a movement upon Verceil. A WWII
troops (Constitutionalists) stationed at Casal, uni7
the orders of General Regis, directed itself on th's
point, and arrived there on the 6th. General Later
returned to Novara, and found means to incrodEs

Into that places by. bye paths, 1200 Austtian Ca-
valry, part of 8000 men who were on the Tessin.
—The Constitutional army, however, had summoned
Novara, and at the end of thirty-six hours, not having
"coiled any answer, the marine artillery began to
fire oa the place. Although it was well provided
with cannon, it made no answer. But on the Bth, at
lug o'clock in the morning, the Austrian tirailleurs,
to the great surprise of the besieging army, rushed
out of Novara, followed by the Royal Piedmontese
aliment, and being joined by the infantry, and 2,000
Hungarian cavalry, who had passed the Tessino, fell
like a clap of thunder on the Constitutional army.—
A very smart engagement ensued, and lasted until
three in the afternoon. During the action General
Belloti (the same who was softie years since confined
in the citadel of Mantua, for a conspiracy against
Austria) and General Regis joined the Austrians.
After an obstinate resistance, disorder spread through
the ranks of the Constitutional army, and it dispersed.
The number of killed is not yet known.

It is believed that an Austrian division has passed
the Po at Placentia, in order to cut off the retreat of
any remains of the defeated army who may try to
rally at Alexandria.
General Santa Rosa, who had the command of.
the Citadel of Turin, at two o'clock this day deli•'
vexed it up to the National Guard, and has with-
drawn with the garrison. We are thus secured from
being assailed by the bombs of our Citadel. The
National Guard remains also in the sole charge of
the City.

The Magistrates of our City are this instant gone
to compliment General Latour, and to present him
110 the keyi of this capital.
There were at Novara, with General Latour, from
700 to 800 Royalist Officers, of all ranks, who had
taken refuge there; two divisions of Artillery, four
thousand Infantry, some remains of Cavalry, and the
entire Regiment of Royal Piedmontese.

GENOA, APRIL 7.
the Chief of the Police of this City has published
a Proclamation to the Inhabitants of cur Duchy, in
which he announces that tranquillity everywhere pre-
vails, and invites every one to remain calm, and to
confide in PROVIDENCE for happier times to come.—
The tone of moderation which prevails in this docu-
ment, is the presage of a speedy return to the old
order of things.
It is said that an Austrian corps is on its march
hither, and will take possession of our city in the
