Advicea from Floss e% ISM, Ind 1148rei with
the journals of the latter gap el the 4th and sth,
have been received. A pepaiseasishration on a grist
sole took place at Flores°, ea the sth, on the Mae
ice of the publication of the proclamation of the
Grand Duke, to which we adverted yesterday,
for the establishment and organisation of the
national guard. The people collected in thou-
sands under the windows of the Pith Palace, express-
ing, by all the usual ways common to multitudes, their
gratitude. The entire population, from the most
exalted to the most humble, caught the fire of the
common enthusiasm. A committee has been elected
at Leghorn, consisting of Count Lardevielle, gonfa-
lonier (chief magistrate), Giuliano Ricci, avocet,
Luigi Gera, avocet, I'. Butolommei, Micheeli Palli,
Fr. Pacho, Giovanni Fanelli, and A. Swahili°, to re-
plate the grand festival appointed to take place on
the Bth in celebration of the establishment of the
national guard.
Cardinal Lambruschini arrived in Rome on the
30th ult. from Civita Vecchia. He entered the city
accompanied by Count Pietro Ferretti, who had gone
to Castel di Guido, 10 miles from Rome, to meet
No offensive manifestation towards him took place.
The Roman Adcerliser of the 4th inst. has the

following :
It is said that the answer recently arrived from the court
of Vienna to the Holy See expresses in the name of the
Emperor regret for the impression made on the Holy Father
by the late events in Ferrara, which his Majesty does not
regard as the invasion of anther's, but the exercise of his
own right, as resulting from article 103 of the treaty of
Vienna ; that if any impropriety has been committed, the is
to be attr.buted to the ezmutioners of the act, who have
proceeded contrary to the instructions received; that his
Majesty has never had the intention of occupying the poo-
title states, into which nothing should induce him to send
troops, unless invited by. the Sovereign Pontiff; that the
whole controversy reducing itself to the explanation of the
abovenemed article, of the word place, and the rights thence
deducible, his Majesty is content that the question should be
decided in Rome, in whatever manner both parties may
agree to.
The Cutemporanea, Roman journal of the 4th; says
that several citizens intend to invite Gioberti, the
well-known writer on politics and history, to visit
Rome. Ifs signalised himself by declaring in his
Prolegomeni " that the emancipation of Italy would
issue front the Vatican long before the election of Pins
LX. The same journal says that the Austrian ambas-
sador, Count Latzow, presented a note to the Pope, in
which the right of occupation of Ferrara is main-
tained, but a desire for negotiation is expressed. His
holiness replied that it was first necessary to eva-
cuate Ferrara; that negotiations might then be
entered on, not respecting the right of occupa-
tion, but on the meaning of the term place
in the treaty ; that if evacuation were re-
fused, he would endeavour to compel it. Cardinal
Ferretti is represented as having declared that his
holiness would lint send a protest to Vienna ; that he
would next recal his nuncio front that city, and
deliver passports to the Austrian ambassador at
Rome; that he would then publish a bull of excom-
munication, which had been already prepared; and
in the last result he would make an appeal to the
whole population of Italy.
The following letter from Leghorn is given in
Galignanrs paper, dated the sth inst.:
We have just received intelligence here from Ferran.
Affairs remain there in the same state. However the
Tyrolean Chaaseurs who have been said to have weed the
Po, have either retired or gone into cantonments on the left
bank of the river. It had been rumoured at Ferrara that
Cardinal Ciacebi'waa, on account of his health, about to
relinquish the government of the legation . but, on the
24th alt, it was ascertained that he would remain at his
pest. On the following day a numerous deputation of the
citizens went to his eminence with an address, expressing the
general satisfaction.
A disturbance broke out at Sienna on the sth,

owing to the imputed misconduct of a baker, by
which a factitious price was given to bread. The
governor, Count Ragnoni, appeased the people, and,
to consequence of the desire generally expressed by
the citizens, granted the provisional organisation of
a civic guard, to which arms were immediately
distributed.

The Madrid mails of the Bth, with the journals and
correspondence, have been received. Among their
contents that which most especially commands atten-
tion is the alleged protest of the French cabinet, made
by the Duke de Glucksberg, against the amnesty. It
will be seen, by referring to the letter of our own cor-
respondent, that he affirms that he has good authority
for this announcement. " The fact," he writes, " has
been confirmed to me by an authority which places
its truth beyond all question." We find the rumour
of such a measure credited by some of the Madrid
journals, such as El Clamor Public° and La Prensa.
We collect from these, however, that the reported
protest was not against the amnesty in gene-
ra, but against its extent We have seen
other letters from Madrid of the Bth, in which the
fact is altogether discredited. On the Bth the Duke
de Glucksberg gave a grand diplomatic dinner, to
which all the ministers were invited. This fact is
produced as a proof that no misunderstanding prevails
between the actual cabinet and the French embassy.
Count San Antonio, the uncle of General Serrano, has
been appointed to the command of the Halberdiers,
vacated by General Ros de Nano. The report is un-
founded that a portfolio has been offered to I)on
Lorenzo Arrazola, and that M. Goyena has tendered
his resignation. The moderado party say that a
division has already manifested itself in the cabinet,
MM. Salamanca and la Eacoenra being opposed on
certain points to MM. Cordova, Roe de Olen°, and
Goyena.
The mall of the Duke de Oluckaberg is thus ex-
plained by L' Union Monarehique :
The cabinet hes at last comprehended that M. Deems,
jun. (the Duke de Glucksberg) has become injurious at
Madrid from very insignificancy. This diplomatist at gems
has been able to oppose us impediment to the deeigns of Mr.
Bulwer, but, by way of compensation, he ham found means of
rendering himself completely disagreeable to the young
queen. In the commencement, Isabella was diverted by the
awkward manners and perfect nullity of the French charge
d'affaires, and especially with the doctoral tone he adopted
when offering his remon.strances to her Majesty. M.
Decazes, a youth of six and twenty, had taken upon
himself the put of a Mentor; he was the echo
of the seven maxims of the ex-regent. Isabella
said to him one day : " Was it your father, sir, who taught
you all these fine things The diplomatist was struck
dumb. For some time past he bad grown quite obnoxious
and could never obtain an audience. " Thank God! !" said
the tauten one-day, " he is neither my chaplain nor my con-
fessor, I shall receive him no more." Weary of a position as
sad as ridiculous, M. Elie Dresses has imparted his tribula-
tions to M. Guizot and to the relations of Isabella ; and it has
been decided he shall be relieved from his thankless office.
M. de Bacourt, on whom has fallen the perilous honour of
representing the King oldie French at Madrid, is a diplo-
matist of the school of M. do Tarried.

The Swiss diet, as we announced would probably
happen, has adjourned to the 18th October, for the
purpose. of allowing time to the cantonal governments
to give instructions to their respective deputies on the
question of the measures to be adopted to enforce the
execution of the decisions which the diet has come to
and which have been hitherto resisted by the cantons
of the league. The division which now disunites and
distracts the Swiss confederacy may be thus briefly
stated. The confederacy consists of twenty whole
cantons and four half cantons, varying within yery
wide limits in population, territory, and wealth, and
differing also in language, religion, and customs.
Eight whole cantons and two half cantons, including
those of greatest population, wealth, and intelligence,
'ruches Berne and Geneva, are desirous of consoli-
dating the Swiss nationality by giving greater
strength and power to the federal govern-
ment, which presides in common over all
the cantons, as distinguished from the can-
tonal governments by which the internal affairs of
the cantons respectively are directed. They are also
desirous of expelling the Jesuits from the territory of
the confederacy, and of declaring any partial league
or confederacy between any particular cantons illegal.
To these measures the remaining eight whole cantons
and two half-cantons are opposed. But, as the ma-
jority in the diet necessarily decides, the question,bas
now arrived at the practical issue as to how the
federal government is to compel these eight cantons
and two half-cantons to submit to such decision. The
despotic states of Eastern Europe and France take
the aide of the minority in this dispute ; England is
represented as favouring the federal government. The
matter, however, must now be speedily brought to an
