FLoaaNca, bisitat 24.—Authentic accounts received
from Rome, dated the 20th, state that Captain Fetzer,
of the staff of the Austrian army, had entered Fondi, at
the head of three couipauiee of hus.ars. All the posi-

tions of the Epilaffio, Fondi, and ltri,. considered im-
pregnable, were voluntarily abandoned b the enemy.
Major Curtis of the Neapolitan service has arrived
here with despatches from the hereditary prince to his

august father.
A deputation has also arrived from the Abruzzi
to lad• at the feet of his Sicilian Majesty the homage of
the fidelity and the expression of the attachment of
that province towards its Sovereign.
General Fardella, the Duke of Calahria's sid•de-camp,
who arrived on the 19th, returned to Naples on Monday.
According to au Order of the Day, i•sned in the
name of the King, by Lieutenant-beneral Richard

Church, Commandant and inspector of hid 3lajesty's
foreign troops, charged, by his .Majesty's letters pa-
tent, dated Laybach, Feb. 26, with the armament for

restoring order in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies,
and dated Aquila, March 15. it is. among other
things, directed that within twenty-four hours after
the arrival of the order, there shall be organized in
each commune a guard of internal security, in which
shall be enrolled, exclusively, persons of property,
who are the friends of order, and that within 21 hours

after the receipt of this order the captains of tniiitia

and commanders of circuits shall collect all the arms

within their respective districts, whether they be such
as are used by soldiers or by peasants, shall immedi-
ately convey them, with a certificate, to the chief
place of the province, and they shall he personally re-
sponsible for the rigorous execution of this order.

The t liagrin excited hy the degraded state of Naples,
is little soothed by the brave, but desperate efforts pre-
paring to be made by the Pieilmotitese. Whatever be the
fate an aiting them they appear determined to quit
themselves like men : and in the mean tine, and in
the midst of troubles, they preserve an attitude com-
posed and respectable. A privdte letter from Paris,
dated March 31, says—
" A courier mho leas arrived this day from Italy, states
that the affairs of Piedmont are not in that situation
which has been reported, that the Provisionary Junta
have declared the Prince of Carignan°, and all the other
members of the Royal Family incapable of reigning. It
is added that they are making great preparations for
marching on Milan, where they have beet' invited. The
public are in the greatest anxiety to hear the news of
this intended movement."
The other accounts from that country, which have
arrived by Express, are as follow :
" TURIN, MAIO( 2b.—Tranquillity and order prevail
in this capital. If disorders and misfortunes have oc-
curred in the provinces as well as at Genoa, it is to the
inconceivable conduct of the Prince Regent alone they
must be attributed. The streets of Turin are tilled with
soldiers. Numerous contingents are arriving from all the
provinces of the kingdom: Count Santa Rosa, Minister
of War and Marine, has addressed an t Irder of the RAY
to them, which I subjoin. The Russian Minister had
taken his departure. It is to he hoped that the great
Powers will not consent to any attempt of Austria to oc-
cupy Piedmont as well as Naples, as that would be to give
up to her the whole of Italy.
" A patriotic club, composed of advocates, merchants,
professors and students of the University, has for these
six days past held public sittings in the coffeehouse
called Catie Nuovo. The advocates and the mem.
hers of the University display the greatest zeal for con-
stitutional government."
An Order of the Day by General Rosa, the Mi-
nister of War contains, among others, the following
passages :
" Soldiers of the Brigade Contingents'
" The standards around which you are gathering, and
under which you will be formed into battalions to march
rapidly on the frontiers, are not rebel colours. Rebels
will only he found if facilities are afforded for the en-
trance of foreigners on the Pieilmontese territory. Ours
is the Royal ensign: it bears the generous eagle of
Savoy, and we follow no other.
" Our colours are those of the King, though, however,
it has pleased Providence to put our courses: to the ex-
treme proof by afflicting us with the double misfortune
of the abdication of a King dear to his people, and the
absence of his successor, in whom our hopes were so
confidently placed, hut who is now among our enemies,
and obliged to speak a language which we can never
recognise as that of his heart. We will always in good
or in bad fortune, remember that our fidelity to the
Princes of Savoy, ought to correspond with our attach-
ment to the constitution from which our families have
to expect security and happiness."
ARCH 24.--EKTRACT or A PRAVATZ LET-
TER.—From Saturday until Tuesday proclamations con-
tinued to arrive from Turin, naming the memhersof the
Oiunta, together with the oath taken by it and the Prince
Reg sit to the Spanish Constitution. Dinners, at which
both citizens and soldiers joined, were given here to ce-
lebrate the event; and nothing was heard in the streak
bnt the cries of the itinerary venders of the proclaims
tions, and also of copies of the Spanish constitutiones.-
Thus all appeared to be going on well, and an order with
mossantarily expected from Tann for the authoridm
bars to take the oath; but on Tuesday night, shout mid-
night, the drums heat to arms at the different barraelta,
the soldiers were mustered. and a promise was made
'them of an advance of 4 midi ver day to each soldier,
sad 20 to 30 livres per month to the offlcers, according to
their ranks. Nothing, however, of this was known until
the following morning, when coupling it with the
events then about to be made public the object of
that spontaneous generosity to the troops could not
be mistakes. It crested great alarm, and indnesd a belief
that the constitutional cause had been betrayed. The
public was not left long in doubt; for a proclamation
was issued by the Governor, annexing to it the declara-
tion of the King Charles Felix, wherein lie not only
refuses to acknowledge any innovation upon the Govern-
ment that existed previous to his brother's abdication

bat declares all those,' without aseeptiem• who. have ad-;
bend, or shall adhere, to such innovation, or who have
arrogated, or shall arrogate, a constitotion, or any en.
croachtnent whatever upon the fulness of the Royal
authority, rebels. In the liovernor's proclamation that
accompanied the above declaration he says that the
Prince Regent has signified to hint his adherence to
that declaration; but this is difficult to reconcile; for
if he had done so, he surely would have sicnitied it
himself to the politic, since lie had so far lent himself to
lead them astray by his previous proclamations in favour
of the constitution. For these reasons, the lienoese are

not milling to credit the clause, and say they have been
betrayed to the Austrians; and many are of opinion
that the whole affair has been planned in order to give
a pretext for the Austrians occupying the strong places
in Piedmont and here, which the soldiers would not
before hear of. Exclusive of this, a circumstance has
occurred, which goes far to prove that the Giunta at
Turin were ignorant of what was about to occur; for,
on the 20th, they named M. Emmanuel lialbi and M.
Maximilian Spinola, deputies to the Giunta; and the
latter is said to have gone there to-day.
Wednesday morning the whole city was in great
confusion; and, in the afternoon, large parties were pa-
rading the streets, crying out e rive la Co:eitazione:
This continued increasing, and at last the numbers were
so great, that in two or three instances they actually at-
tacked the guard and took away front them their arms.
Wednesday night several people were killed and wound-
ed; and Thnrstlav all the shops were shut."
[To illustrate further the situation of affairs in Grow,
we subjoin an extract front another letter of the same
date.]
firNOA, M4REH 24.—The sudden tinnonacement of .o
rapid a transition from the constitutional es stem to the an-
cient order of things was like a clap of thunder. 111 miails
were agitated by it. butt especially those of enthusiastie
young men attached to the newt institetions, the t•st.o.ll:- -
meat of which they had celebrated only tyro days bet' re.
To many the affair appeared incredible : they examined hie
termer of the proclamation ; the expressions relative to the
Prince appeared equivoral. and its autlit•ntleity ma: doubt-
ed. Many groups of people were funned: they united to-
gether and sent a deputation to the palace of the Governor.
lie granted an interview to some of the lenders. and at-
tempted to allay their fears; but they still remained unsatis-
fied. Toward, evening the tumult increased sonic Plat!'
of the guard were disarmed, and the crow,) again repaired
with those arms to Ratichi. In the mean time the princiral
pests a ere occupied by strong detachments of troop,. and
two commies mere placed on the mall which commands the
street leading towards Bauchi. where stands the entrance to
the Governor's Ware. The attitude of the troops. an.! tyro

(Wednesday ) passed off quietly. The following day mas
tranquil though gloomy ; but in the evening the peace was
interrupted bs a discharge of grape-shot—no one keen how
—from the military post 'those named. which wounded two
soldiers, and, ns lam informed, two other persons. This
greatly exasperated the minds of the people, who were heard
to titter loud complaints eering the night, and till the dawn
of Friday. On that day the news arris ed from Turin Of Cie
preservition of tranquillity them, and of the formation Of
the I onstitntional Got ernment under the Prince Regent. It
was then conehnied that the proclamation was nut genuine.
The troops received the information. and mixed confusedly
with the multitede, calling out • The Cendirntiun.• The
crowd then entered the Pablee, and became toasters of the
person of the tioserlor, on whom they would base com-
mitted some ontrage had he not been rescued by Ge-
neral illson, and some friends to good order. lie imme-

that he resigned the government of the city into the hands of

The Catholic Bill was introdneed last night int.,
the House of Lords by EArl Dosort;trmoar.
this occasion his Lordship was led to expr‘nis
his belief, that from the communications he I.ad
lately had with some of the first turn in the
kingdom on both sides of the question it wa,
likely such material amendments would be made
in the Bill, in its progress through the !louse, :is would
remove at once the objections of scrupulous Catle)l4 s,
and the grounds of Protestant alarm. The Earl of
Livaaroot, and the Lord t'rr.tvr►.r.r.oa, howeve:-, inti-
mated their intention of meeting the Bill with a
strenuous opposition, and when the weight of these
Noblemen is duly considered, the Parliamentary sue-
, eras of this important measure cannot be deemed

secure.

The fate of Mt. WESTERN'S Bill last night in the
House of Commons for repealing the last Malt Tax
is an instance of the progress which a measure may be
allowed to make for the purpose of spewing respect
for the wishes of the peaple. On the •2211 ult., the lloti.
Member's motion on a resolution fur the repeal wassup-
ported by a majority of 1.19 to 15; List night the Bill be
was directed to bring in to that effect, was rejected on
a division by 242 against 111. It would have been
as easy for the Minister to have stifled the measure at
111
first as at last; but that might not he consistent with
his policy. Lord Firs, it appears, was permitted to
vote against the tax last year with impunity, because
his Lordship voted then in a harmless minority ; but
when the opposers of the tax grew numerous, and
the Hinisten began to dread the loss of one of their
resources, the independence of the Noble Lord be-
came a proper object for chastisement, and the es-
ample of which he was made, became a useful
warning to dependants and expectaats. The
gentlemen of that description whose orator• in the
HOll4O of Commons is commonly coutiued to " clues.
lion! *snort '2' or to yea or nay, were last night
overpowering with their single worded eloquence.
They coald not contain their joy at the success they
antieipaned from their muster and their discipline, sod
they gave vent to their applause on the division
with loud and continued shouts. No doubt
their rejoicing was sincere. It had keen understand,
as Sir Joust SnaaLav stated, that if the Malt
Tat was repealed, his Masserv's Minister.
