With the advice of our council we have

 hitherto taken place, on condition that, 

 from the date of the present proclamation, 

 all persons return to order, and yield obe- 

 dience to the directions which they may 

 receive from us. 



2. " As it is of importance to remove all 

 marks which may excite discord among 

 the citizens and the troops, it is hereby 

 strictly prohibited to hoist colours aiid 

 wear cockades of a different form or colour 

 from those which have hitherto distin- 

 guished the Piedmontese nation, under 

 the government of the august House of 

 Savoy. 

 '» " Those who contravene this article shall 

 be punished as dis'turtaers of public tran- 

 quillity. 



" 3. The act of abdication of his Ma- 

 jesty Mctor Emmanuel shall be published

 tution. 



" 5. Meanwhile all the civil, judicial, and 

 military authorities are required to remain 

 at their posts, and to perform their func- 

 tions with that increased attention to fide- 

 lity and punctuality which the circum- 

 stances and existing wants of the country 

 require. "Charles Albert." 



Turin, March 14. 

 "Victor Emmanuel, by the grace of 



God, King of Sardinia, of Cyprus and 



Jerusalem, Duke of Savoy, &c. 



" Amidst the vicissitudes which have 

 agitated a great part of our past life, and 

 which have insensibly exhausted our 

 strength and our health, we have frequently 

 contemplated the abdication of the throne. 



" To this id«a, which we have always en- 

 tertained, was joined the considerations 

 presented to us by the constantly increasing 

 difficulties in public affairs at the present 

 time, our constant desire having always been 

 to do every thing which mig-ht contribute 

 to the happiness of our beloved people. 



" Having now determined to accomplish 

 this desiifu, we have resolved, after hearing 

 our Council of &ate, to choose and nomi- 

 nate Regent of our dominions, our well- 

 beloved cousin. Prince Charles Amadens 

 Albert of Savoy, Prince of Carignano, con- 

 sequently conferiug on him all our authority. 



" And by this act of our royal and free 

 will, our council being heard, we declare — ■ 



" That reckoning from the 13th of March 

 current we irrevocably renounce the crown, 

 and in the same manner the exercise of our 

 rights of sovereignty, as well over the ter- 

 ritories we actually possess as those which 

 by treaties or otherwise may fall to us by 

 right of succession. 



SPAIN. 



Nothinn; in (he hi.story of natious 

 has been more sflorioiis (hau the present 

 position of Spain. Her political phi- 

 losophers have produced a constitution 

 which is the object of the admiration 

 and imitation of tlie \vhoIe world; and 

 in the midst of conflicting interests her 

 people maintain a dignified repose. 

 The king practised some manoeuvres 

 at the end of Februarj', suddenly dis- 

 missed his ministers, and made a speech 

 to the Cortes without ministerial parti- 

 cipation : but this flirting produced no 

 ebullition. All Europe calculates, 

 liowever on Spain and Portugal making 

 common cause with the Neapolitan* 

 and Piedmontese. The de.^pots must 

 be repulsed to their strong holds amidst 

 the ignorance of their own slaves.
