TUSCANY.

The grand ducal government has, in accordance with
the decision of the Tuscan judicial authorities, with-
drawn the prosecution against the " Italian's Civil
Library," a periodical work of liberal political ten-
dencies, which had been set on foot by the Marquis
Casisno Ridolfi and other reformers of the moderate
and constitutional school

DENMARK AND THE GERMAN DUCHIES.

BERLIN, SATURDAY ERRING.

The Zeit publishes a correspondence from Frank-
fort which announces that the Federal Commission
charged to examine the Holstein question has de-
cided against the proposition of Denmark. The
commission is of opinion that it is necessary to
know the profit de loi which Denmark means to
submit to the Legislature, as well as the been of
future negotiations, before it enters on the examina-
tion of these propositions.
Hanover has given a special vote, with a long
exposition of reasons for that course.

The following message has arrived by telegraph :
HAMBURG, APRIL 30.—The French, English, and
Russian representatives have, by a common accord,
celled on the Diet to take into serious consideration
the Danish propositions, so as to terminate the ex-
isting difference amicably.

PARIB, SUNDAY Evelyne°.
The Prone, assuming a little more freedom than
any journal ventured to take previous to the last
elections for Paris, urges the 12,000 electors of the
sth circumscription who abstained on the 25th and
26th of April, to take part in the decisive contest
which will commence on Sunday next between M.
Eck and M. Picard. This circumscription comprises
the quarters of the Faubourg St. Martin, the Temple,
St. Martin•des-Champs, and the first and second
sections of Belleville. This election promisee to be
very interesting. If it should prove that the govern-
ment polled all their men but time, and that the
falling off in the votes given to the opposition can-
didates was attributable solely to unfair pruning of
the electoral lists, and abstentions grounded upon
the belief that abstention was the most politic
weapon of opposition, it will be manifest that the
triumphant remarks of the French government
press, on the "improved state of feeling in Paris,"
which some English journals accept without chal-
lenge, have no foundation in fact.

The Weser Gazette affirras that France proposes
that the divans of the two Danubian Principalities
should sit together alternately at Bucharest and
Jassy. Austria and England do not, it is said, ap-
prove of this plan, which, in their opinion, would
be calculated to excite continual demonstrations in
favour of the union. The same journal says that
there is a different* of opinion between the powers
regarding the denomination of "The United Pro-
vinces of Moldavia and Wallachia" which France
has suggested. The only point upon which the
powers are supposed to be already agreed is the
; creation in each of the Principalities of a Hospoder
for life, named by the Porte.

The Central Commission of the Rhine Navigation
will meet at Mayence in a few days to settle the
conditions upon which the permanent bridge across
the river is to be constructed, pursuant to the con-
vention between Prussia and the Riverian Bates.

Baron Hubner is about to leave Paris for Vienna,
in order to confer with Count Boot. He will return
to Paris before May 12 to be present at the opening
of the conferences. Baron Hubner was at Lady
Cowley's reception last evening.
General Espinasse gave his first grand ball last
night at the ministry of the Interior. Lady Cow-
ley's reception was in consequence not quite so
much thronged u it would otherwise have been.
While the rumours of General Espinasee's dismissal
were rife, it was repeatedly said that be had only
obtained a respite over May-day, in order to enable
him to give this official ball. I have no knowledge,
not even so much as a suspicion, touching the found-
ation for this conjecture. Bo far as I can judge from
political gossip, General Espinuee is at this moment
firmer in the saddle than he was.

The Queen of Spain, who, as it was announced
some time since, proposes to make a marine excur-
sion this month, is expected to visit the French
coast. The Bpaniah corvette Llliiil Fernando and
two steam avises are arming at Carthage's& and
preparing to receive her Majesty.
The Chamber des Mises en Accusation of the
Imperial Court of Dijon homed a decree on the 30th
