Marshall Canrobert had addressed an order o

follows:
"Soders The precipitate march which yor
have Just made across the Alps has not alloweS
the solictpde of the Emperor's Government to sup
ply you with all of which you stand in need. You
the warriors, our forefathers. who have preceded
US in these dne countries, were in want of every
thing at the time they covered the flag Of France
aud the country with immortal glory. Tho grea
French army will soon hnd Itself opposite the
Austrian army. They are old acqusintances. Both
have sven esch other at Lodi, at Arcol at Mareng0
aud at Wsgram-i.lustlious names, which yor
will soon cause to sc followed by others equally
glorious"
The Paris PAYS says that the depredations com,
of filling the military storehouse OF Lombardy.-
They are literally stripping the Piedmontese
Provinces of hay, grain. provisions, and every
thing they can carry of; and, accoi ding to the
French journals, they do this with the greatest
rgor and cruelty. ..
The Pays also states that Rear Admiral JaruieI
de Lagravere had left Genoa in the Algesiras fol
the Adristic, to give notice to the military aus
thorities that the ports Of the Austrian coast are
In state of blockade.
The correspondent of The London Globe says Of
the Austrian acquisitions in Piedmont, under date
of Turin, May s:
"Aithough tho Austrian troops have not dared
to go in search of the royal army, they have freely
committed all kinds of excuses in the provinces
they occupy. Official bulletins OF the Sandman
Government have already published to Europe
some of the excuses. Here are few more details
not less authentic:
"Oa entering Novara, Gen. Gyuiai demanded a

the demand, the town Was to be fined five times
the value of the provisions required, and 10 de.
fault of the payment of the 1ne, the town was to
be given up to piIage. All horses had also been
given up.
CAT Vercelli, requisition were made of the same

utmost barbarity. On the smallest pretext tho
Austrian officers have recourse to corporal puns
ishment. At Scoppiann the Syndic, tho Vice-Syn.
