The French papers of Friday have reached us since
oar last and, if their contents are to be depended
on, the fate of Piedmont is for the present decided.
The following are the whale of the particulars they
eounimnicate on the subject :
" PARIS, April 13.—News has just arrived here by
express, and may be considered as perfectly authentic.
that the Austrians passed the Tessin° on the Sth of
April. and in front of Novara met the troops of Ales-
aandria, who made no resistance. This first corps was
dispersed. There was reason to believe. that the cita-
del of Turin would in two litters be delivered up to the
royal antborities, and that every thing would he settles!
in four days. Twenty-five thousand Austrians are in
Pied t.
French Funds, April 12, half past 4 p. tr., s2f. 60c.
In corroboration of the advance of the Austrians,
letter from Calais received by a private hand late
last night, states that a telegraphic dispatch had reach-
ed that place, from Paris, announcing that the Aus-
trians passed the Tessino on the sth instant, and ra-
pidly advanced un Novaro, where they were joined
by the King's troops under General Latour. After
•
this junction, the united Corps d'Armee proceeded on
to Turin. and in their way were met by a party of
the Constitutional troops, who, after some skirmish-
ing, witle!rew. The Austrians are stated to have en-
tered Turin on the 10th, and when the express cattle
away, it is added, the citadel was capitulating.
! By accounts previously received from Turin, it
appears that though the Austrians were knowu to be
approaching the frontiers, and scented intendin.;
to
pass the 'resins), no apprehension was entertained that
they wont! act evasively until the Congress of Lay-
bath, in concert with the other great powers, shoals!
have come to a resolution on the subject. The fill
instant was the Kinw's birth-day, and it was celebrated
there in consequence of a Proclamation of the Junta,
with a general illuminatiJn and other public testi-
monies of respect. The sudden change exhibited in
the cotoluct of the Piedmontese, if true, must astonish
their neighbour.: as much as ourselves. The following.
are the terms in which they are spoken of in a private
letter from Genoa, the beginning of the month.
" The Piedmontese I believe to be a reasonable, as
well as a brave people. If Austria, unchecked by the
appearances which present themselves on every side,
drive them to the necessity of a sanguinary resist-
ance, I think they are a people of that temperament who
can screw their courage to the sticking place, anti that
the aggressor must prepare fur a conflict similar to that
which Napoleon experienced in Spain. Officers of the
greatest experience they can have from France. The
Provisional Gm eminent, I learn, are daily receiving
tenders of service. The fears of Austria are very visible.
from the notification in the iuclused Genoa Gazette of
of the Milan Governor"
Ily the same communication from Genoa, we have
the following account of the state of affairs in wpb's
on the 2lith ult.
" A vessel front Naples, which place she left the even-
ing of the 27th of March, has anchored in this port.--
The Anstriann entered that city on the 24th, as I mete-
tionedin my letter of Saturday. I have jost seen a letter
to the most respectable Enelish house here (Mr. Gibbs)
front Naples, dated the Llitb. It states • that the ad-
vance (tithe Austrians to that city was to the great sur-
prise of its inhabitants, who were not deficient in either
courage
mys or means to defend themselves. A complete
tees hangs over the whole transaction. The indig-
nation Of the people is beginning to manifest itself in a
manner which every humane mind nsust regret. Lost
sight twenty Anatrions verve tmterdrred. There is, I
am sorry to say, little doubt of the fact.' Another let-
ter of the date of the 27th, states, that on the unexpected
advance of the thirty thousand Austrians, the Parlia-
ment retires! to Salerno, as did the army under the com-
mand of Pepe. lln the evening the vessel sailed, viz.
the 2;th, the work of carnage was going on, and a pro-
miscuous massacre was expected. Such are the Chris-
ian results of the Holy Alliance, if those letters convey

Leif."
The P.►rlian►ent, it would appear from the same in•
ha►e nut abandoned their duty in this enter.
getiev, but have withdrawn to Salerno, whither the army
under the command of PEea has also repaired. In a
French paper of Wednesday, there is an article, which
states that " a vessel which left Naph/s on tl►e '2 Itl►
March, announces that at the time of its departure the
Parliament was still assembled—that the news from
Piedmont had excited great enthusiasm among the
Neapolitans, and that in case the events ()enure::
which were expected, all measures were taking for
retiring to Sal►•rno, and that it was even said the
Patsce RFOE,IT had also determined to repair thi-
ther." In an appeal to the Parliament by the De-
puty POIRIO, on the 21st of march, he intreats
them " to remain firm at their post, and should the
presence of a foreign army render it necessary f•►r
them to separate, to protest before flod and men for
the national independence, and, the independence of
the throne." Several Members, it appears, did re-
main at their post, and were only driven frOnt it by
force; fur it is said, in an article from Naples in the
French papers of Thursday, " that on the morning
♦f the 24th the Itevoletionary Parliansest was din•
solved, and that the small number of Deputies still
present were ordered to repair totheit homes." Pets
is, indeed, said in these papers to hire embarked to:
