FROMITIIE FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 28.
The report of a change of Italian territory is void of •
truth; but it is certain that a Treaty of Alliance, offen-
sive and, defensive, between Sardinia and Austria, has
been concluded, to guarantee the Sardinian territory
against an invasion. The Piedmonte cavalry has been
newly mounted, and the- Fort of Ecluse, on the French
frontier, has been repaired.
Private Letters received from Constantinople, at Paris,
state that the Reis Effendi, after having received the
official communication of the Protocol of the 22d of

March, from the French and English Ambassadors, sig-

would treat, was the re-occupation by the Turks of the
places in the Mores, and the return of the Pacha of Tri-
politza, as well as tha restitution of Turkish property in
the Mores before the insurrection.
The information received at Vienna from Constanti-
nople, is of a nature to do away with all hopes of a peace
between the Turks and Russians. The Sultan will not
make the least concession, and he appears more Obstinate

March, he says, that it is incompatible with his honour,
dignity, and the interest of his Empire ; and even will
not listen to the conditions proposed by the Protocol of
the 4th of April, 1826, and the treaty of the Bth July.
He declares that he will only grant to his revolted sub-
jecti an'armietice, and some privileges, as he before pro-
