The members forming the Tuscan deputation ar-
rived here to-day at noon. The municipal body and
some members of the parliament went to receive
them at the railway terminus. The streets through
which they posed were nobly decorated. An im-
mense crowd was collected to welcome the members
of the deputation, who alighted at the Hotel de
I'Europe, where they addressed the people, thanking
them for the enthusiastic reception they had met with.
A grand illumination took place in the evening, and
numerous bodies of national guards were stationed is
line along the principal street.
The King received the deputation at 4 o'clock,
p.m. Signor Gheranlina, a member of the Com-

the Tuscan Assembly. I thank you in my name and
in the name of my people. We have received your
wish as a solemn manifestation of the will of the

Tuscan people, who, after having made the last

strong kingdom,which shall defend the independence
of Italy. But the Tuscan Assembly will have com-
prehended that the accompliahmeat of its wish can
asly take place by negotiations which are about to
begin on the affairs of Italy. I will second your
desire, beaming myself strong by the rights which
are given me by year wishes, I will support the
male of Tuscany before the powers in which the
Assembly places its hopes, and especially before the
magnanimous Emperor of the French, who has
done so much for the Italian nation. I hope that
Europe will not refuse to practise towards Tuscany
that work of redressing grievances which it has,
under less favourable circumstances, practised
towards Greece, Belgium, and the Danubian Prin-
cipalities. Your noble country gives an admirable
example of moderation and concord. You will add
those virtues to that one, which ensures the triumph
of all honest undertaking., and which overcomes all
