ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 17th, states that
Alessandria is to be occupied by the Austrians, not-
withstanding the hopes that had been entertained to
the contrary.
This statement is confirmed by the following official
announcement, which appears in the Paris Patrie of
Saturday evening :
" According to dispatches received to day, Austria
is increasing her demands upon Piedmont, and the
French and English Ministers have been obliged to
send information to their Governments of new difficnities
being raised by General Redetzky."
The Tuscan Monitore announces that a body of
2,000 men, under General KOLOWitAT, has entered
the territory Pontremoli, in the name of the Duke of
PARMA. The General has written the following
letter to the Tuscan officer in command at Pontre-
moli :

To the Commander of the Troops of the Pontremo-
lese Territory—The undersigned in command of a bri-
gade of Imperial and Royal Austrian troops, now at
Berceto, which is destined to occupy, in the course of to-
morrow morning, the Pontremoleso territory, in the
name of his Royal Highness the Duke of Parma, being
informed that the said territory is occupied by foreign
troops, the commander of the said troops is invited to
evacuate the afore-mentioned territory immediately, in
virtue of existing treaties, and in consideration that no
declaration of war exists between the Austrian empire
and other Italian powers; otherwise the most vigorous
hostile measures will be resorted to against the aforesaid
troops. An officer, with a flag of truce, is at the frontier
of Cisa in expectation of an answer.—Berceto, April 11.
" The Imperial and Royal General Major commanding
Brigadier, Count KOLOWRAT."
The Saggiatore of Turin of the 16th, gives the fol-
lowing intelligence as the latest from Florence, but
without mentioning any date. According to this
paper, the Constituent Assembly has been dissolved
by the new Government, and its members have had
to seek safety in flight. The Municipal Council has
resumed the posssession of the Palazzo Vecchio and
other Government buildings, and proclaimed the re-
establishment of the Constitutional Government, an
announcement hailed by the people with loud shouts
of applause. Guerrazzi is a prisoner in Fort Belve-
dere ; Gino Capponi has saved him from the fury of
the people by promising he should be strictly
guarded. The new Ministry is composed as follows :
—Foreign Affairs, Tometti ; Finance, Chevalier Mar-
tini; Public Instruction, Tabarrini; Interior, Alle-
gretti ; Justice, Duchequez ; War, Belluomini.
The Conciliatore of the 15th, says, the Constituent
Assembly dissolved itself.
Several proclamations have been published by the
new Government : one, addressed to the troops, in-
viting them to take their oath to LEOPOLD 11. ; an-
other, dissolving the Municipal Guard, for the pur-
pose of reorganising it; a third, praising the National
Guard for their conduct ; and a fourth, closing the
clubs and political assemblies of all denominations.
The .Alba of the 13th says that on the 11th the law
of the conscriptions was issued, and a military com-
mission named at Modena. Austrian troops have
come in t 9 replace the garrison which left on the 12th.
The city is as quiet as the tomb, and every one is sus-
picious of his neighbour. Numerous searches are
made, and many persons have been exiled.
The latest accounts from Rome state that great
agitation prevailed in the city. There were many
attempts at a reaction, and numerous arrests continued
to take place.
