| LONDON, April s9.--The French papers
contain an artIclefro Turin, dated the 18th,
which says, that Alexandria surrendered to
the Austrians on the nth, the Piedmontese
| garrison having been disbanded, with the ex-
ceptlon of about 600 men, who under the
command Of Ansaldi, had marched in the
direction of Genoa. At the latter place,
however, they were not likely to find an
asylum as it is stated that the old system
had been re-established there on the 18th,
and that Count de Genys had resumed his
functions as Governor General. The Pro-
vlsonal Government ut Naples has issued
decree, annulling all the diplomatic appoint
ments made by the Prince Regent and, in
| consequence of some assassination commit
ed upon the Austrian troops, measures had
been adopted for disarming tic inhabitants
of the capital and the provinces.

About $50 prisoners were taken, among
whom were seven officers of the regiment of
Montserrat. On the 18th Gen. Latour and
his staff, with number of persons of distinc-

Frinelli descanted on the visible prediction
of the Almighty for the Piedmontese domin-
ions, manifested in the recent as well as in

which appear to leave no doubts as to his
