LORD NOBMANBY AND THE TUSCANS.

(From the Nord).

If. Übaldino Penns' sends us, with a request for
their insertion, the two following lettere. We have much
pleasure in complying with hie wish.
Mr. Bditor,—The Marquis of Normanby, when speak-
ing in the House of Lords en the late move-
ment In Tuscany, described the conduct of the
liberal party in a way that is eloquently contra-
dicted by the events that have taken place in this country
for the last four month'. Bat, in addition to this, the noble
lord, in publishing separately his speech of the Bth of lune
last, thought At to add is It some notes, one*, which, we-
owning the memorandum of the provisional Tuscan govern-
ment, plum me under the painful necessity of addressing
myself through your kind mediate to the impartiality of the
public.
In the note B the marquis relates a little adventure which
appears to him to be curious, and which appears to me, were
it true, to be meet dishonourable to me. On reading the
purge of the memorandum drawn up by the tierzebuy of
the foreign minister, where it speaks of the efforts made by
the Grand Duke and his eons to put down by force the
national movement of the 27th of May last, I am asserted to
have said —" Bat we cannot affirm that, because it is not
tree ;" and notwithstanding that I am stated to have never-
theless signed this document, having yielded to the majority
of my two colleagues.
As We fact is completely Sloe, I wrote to the Marquis of
Normanby the instant I was made acquainted with his pub-
lication, and begged hint to be so good as to contradict it
publicly ; I told him that the maraceandurn ordered and
advised by me had been drawn up by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs on the authority of documents since pub-
Betted, that it was then corrected, and at lut signed by me be-
fore it was by my two honourable colleagues ; and lastly, I
declared to him that nothing like the anecdote he had related
had occurred.

The marquis has done me the honour of addressing to me
two letters, in which he enters at full length into the denial
and the justification of the repressive measures alluded to in
the memorandum; but respecting the calumnious tale he had
piously consigned to the note B, be cotton himself to in.
farming me that he received it from a well-informed =re-
spondent at Florence. It is right I should add, that in QOM
lettere, as also in his spelati of the Bth last hi the House of
Lords, the marquis was so goodie to render to my character a
homage that would not at all be deserved, if the fact he hma
publicly affirmed and has not publicly contradicted were true.
Thls la why I take the liberty of begging you, sir, to be so

good u to give a plaos in your respectable Junta] to the
solemn contradiction I see myself compelled to give to the
calumnious account that the Marquis of Normanby has
thought proper to publish respecting me.
I bag you st the MN time to be so good se to publish also
the annexed letter addressed to the same personage by my
friend Commendatore Fornetti, secretes" to the Ministry of
Tuscan Foreign Affairs, and which has remained un-
answered.

Deign to tempt, dr, my thanks and the
most distinguished consideration.
