Tlie: troops of Alexandria consisted of. two regiments of infantry and one regime lit -of cavalry ? they demanded a Constitution, and declared that the independence of Piedmont was compromised Uy die vicinity of the Austrian armies. Th<> 1 'reclamation of the King of Sardinia is dated J urin, iOtli March. It acknowledges the dissatisfac tion of, the troops, and declares that Austria has not demanded any fortress or the disbanding of the forces. A letter from Vienna states, that a Russian courier, coming from Lay bach on hi* way to Poland, spread a report that he was bearer of an or der to put a Russian corps in inareh towards Italy.
