Colonel RAWDOS he had seen a letter which
mentioned that a British officer in full uniform, belonging
to the Roy al Marius, had bcen cut down at Leghorn
by the Austrian authorities. The letter was dated
Florence on the 11th of this month. Ho wished to
know whether the Government were in possession of
any information respecting the transaction?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
believed it was quite incorrect that a British
officer in full uniform had been cut down at Leghorn by
the Austrian authorities. Informltion had reached the
Government that a potty officer in the Marines, being
on leave at Leghorn, had been extremely maltreated by
the Tuscan police. The captain of her Majesty's vessel the
Firebrand immediately communicated with,Mr. Scarlett,
the British Minister at Florence. Considerable corres-
pondence had taken place between Mr. Scarlett and the
Austrian Government, and the head of the Tuscan
police, who was involved in the transaction, had been
imprisoned for eight days. Tha: was all the informa-
tion that had reached the Government.

Lord PAIMERSTON wished to put a question in
some way connected with this affair. Some considerable
time ago an unmanly outrage, of a very aggravated cha-
racter, was made upon a British subject. It was an
attack by an armed officer at the head of a regiment
en an unarmed British subject at Florence. He wished
to know whether the Tuscan Government had inflicted
soy punishment upon the officer who had so miscon-
ducted himself, or whether any, other reparation had
been made to the British Crown?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re-
minded the Noble Lord that he had not given notice of
his question, but he had to reply that the Government
had insisted upon reparation from the Tuscan Govern-
ment. The correspondence which had passed was ap-
proaching to a speedy termination, and he believed the
result would be satisfactory to the House.—(Hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL asked whether reparation for the
ivjury had b: on promised by the Tuscan Government?
'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be
should be able to give a more satisfactory reply if the
Noble Lord would give notice of his question.—(Hear.)
INCOME-TAX.
HumE wished to know it it was intended to re-
new the Income-tax Committee Inquiry of last year?
The CHANCELLOR of the LXCHEQUER said he
should have no
objection to such a proceeding'.
