I'lom the necessary consciousness and oosimity of a telegrupdc dtpatch, I cannot distinctly collecl whether compliance has been refused to the first or second clause of the demand of the Piedniontese soldiery. It is imagined that disposition shewn to concede the free constitution) but that a premptory denial has been opposed to the desire testified of avenging the cause of Naples by direct hostilities against the Austrians. It is concluded, however, that the reply of the Sardinian government had not proved satisfactory for the despatch distinctly stales that the Piedmantese army, to the number ot 45 thousand men had marched. Prince C&rignano w as sent after them to endeavor to bring them back to their duty, with little hopas of success the accounts concluded with these remarkable words ALL ITALY IS IN A FLAME" NAPLES. KATtOXAL PARLIAMENT. Extraordinary sitting of February 27. uSignor Poerio, as Reporter ftom the Committee of War, pieposcd the follow, ing war project. "The National Parliament Extraordinary decrees as follows : "Art. 1. On the advance of the enemy to a town to occupy it. all the proptictors of munitions of w ar and provisions kall transport the same into the rear of the army. "2. If the means of transport b warning, the same shall be supplied by the generals commanding the corps which may be nearest to the place threatened by the enemy "3. If such at tides shall be considered necessary for the vise of the army, the proprietors shall be satisfied therefor by the military commissary; if otherwise, the military administration will preserve theni, and will, together with the proprietor, adopt the necessary measures for withdrawing all moveable propcity from the enemy. "After a short discussion, the decree was adopted. "Signor Poerio then read the plan of another, as follows : The National Parliament decrees "The inhabitants who may abandon their own districts in the case of occupation by the enemy, shall receive in ti c places to which they remove all the succors of hospitality ; the administrative authorities shall distribute them in the houses of the citizens, and shall provide for them evcrv possible comfort.

"This decree was also appro ved.'

AFFAIR OF ITALY. AVc this evening continue our extracts from English papers brought by the Martha. I he intelligence is of deep interest, as it renders it certain that, even admitting the news of the battle said to have taken place, to be premature, a war must take place in Paly. And we fear it will be a bloody conilict in the end On the one hand, the people, not only of Naples, but of all Ital.y, are indignant at the insolent dictation of Austria and the Holy Alliance. They have mode extensive pieparations to resist their invaders, who. as if to mock them, are sai l to have marched with olive branches in their hats, and fixed bayonets upon their guns ! Austria, it is true, possesses many ar.d

great advantages. The whole body of the Austiian monarch, says the Abbe de Pradt, pressed directly upon Italy. Austria is mistress of Italy. Venice, the Milanese, the Alexandria, are her immediate domains ; Parma must revert to her an Austrian Prince reigns in Tuscany. She holds all the keys of Italy and covers a great part of it herself. From Alexandria to Palma Nuova, she is supported by a chain of fortresses and of Arsenals, which present her all the means of attack and of defence, and arc strengthened by the lines of the rivers which bolder them, Again: Her possession of Upper Italy has very solid basis the sea, the Alps, the Po, the Ticino, the Adda, the Mincio, the lake of Ouarda, the Adige, the Tagliamcnto, Yzonzo, Alexandria, Pavia, Piggizdithronc, Mantua, Peschiera, Verona, Venice, and behind these lines of fortresses and of rivers, the whole body of the Austrian monarchy, prepared to sustain them, and pour upon Italy new swarms of combattants M But, we are alicady informed that Austria will derive neither advantage nor support from the Italian states. The Milanese, the Alexandrians, and the Tuscans, it is already said arc in a state of revolt. And, if wc are not much deecived, all the northern states of Italy, in passing tin ough which the Austrian troops seem to have inspired the people with hatred a: d horror, instead of affection will ti-.e behind them, and teach them a me:al lesson which will no; soon be forgotten.. If the whole people of Italy continue to be animated with the same spirit which present appearances indicate, although their regular armies may be successively crushed by the overwhelming numbers which will doubtless be poured in from the north, yet they will show the Austtians, with a vengeance, the impossibility of entirely subduing a nation united in the love and defence of freedom. Now the odds appeals to be greatly against the Italians; but surel their prospect of success is not less hopeless than was that of Spain, when overcome by the legions of N.ipoleon. VV. Y, Com. jidv. LIVK.HFOOL, MAXICIt 24. The intelligence from the north of Italv, of th 3d inst. stated, that one division of the Austrian army had passed the Tiber, at Pontc Molle, and occupied Tivoli an! Val Montone The centre occupied Rieti. The reserve was at Foligno. The Neapolitans who had occupied the defiles of Rieti and Tcrni, had retrograded as far as Aquila, to consolidate their forces This appears to have been the situation of the armies when therevolution of the Picdmontcse army took place. - The accounts in the London papers of the 20th of March contain the following important statements, of which we shall probably receive further particulars shortly : Defeat of the Austrian. By express from Palis a bulletin has been recei-cd, in which it is announced tnat there had been a battle at Rieti, on the 9th of March, and that the Neapolitans a'tackt l the Imperial army which was defeat-. ; that many prisoners were taken ; that tho action was very bloody ; and that General Pepe was killed.

tvtecn the Austrian and the jYeafictifant, W e are this moment informed, that an express arrived this morning fiom 1 aus which hah brought confirmation of tie, sanguinary conflict on the 9th inst between the Austrians and Neapolitans, in which the Austrian were dtfeated. The particulars of the loss on both sides were not ascertained when the express left Paris. W hen the netvs of the above battle arrived at Paris, the French funds fell to 76f. In contradiction to the above account, a second edition of the Courier states, that accounts have been received from Paris, dated on Monday morning, but they do not furnish any details of a battle having been fought at Ilieti or Spolcto, on the 9th. If any aflair ban taken place add lhes accounts) it was only a very partial one. '1 he private letters inserted, also in the Courier, dated Paris, March 17. positively state, that "a battle had taken piace, and that it ended in favor of the Neapolitans, into whose hands a number of prisoners have fallen.' This account is not given as official, but is made ufi frtm the account obtained in various quarter. '1 he Neapolitans attacked the Austrians unexpectedly. The killed and wounded are estimated from 2 to 5000, and the prisoners are equally numerous. Gen. Pepe is said to have fallen in the engagement. The abdication of the king of Sardinia is a fact publicly announced. The constitution, similar to that of Naples, has been declared every where, and Carignan has sw orn to it. The army of Piedmont amounts to between 30 and 40.000 strong
