THE EARL OW MILMESDURY TO SLR HENRY BETLWER.
Foreign Office, June 26, 1852.
Sir,—lt is with great satisfaction that her Majesty's Go-
vernment have received your dispatches of the 18th and
Mh instant, which announce the result of your negotia-
tion•with the Court of Tuscany on the subject of the as-
sault on Mr. Mather.

Her Majesty's Government entirely approve of the
able and judicious manner in which you have brought
this intricate affair to a conclusion, which, while affirm-
ing the important principle which they asserted as due
to the British nation, Equally tends to maintain the
dignity and independenne of Tuscany herself.
You will inform the Duke of Casig:iano that her Ma-
jesty's Government have received with unfeigned satis-
faction the expressions of regret which his Excellency
has offered at those unfortunate occurrences which have
lately caused an estrangement between two Courts
which ancient associations and mutual interests should
always unite in the most friendly alliance. You will
also assure his Excellency, that in urgently contending
for that recognition of responsibility from Tuscany
which Mr. Starlets so inconsiderately waived, her Ma-
jesty's Government felt assured that they were consult-
ing not leas the honour and independence of the Tuscan
Government than the protection due to British subjects.
Until lately these have always found hospitality and pro-
tection in the Grand Ducal territory; and her Majesty's
Government earnestly hope that the exceptional posi-
tion in which the Tuscan Government is now placed by
the apparently necessary presence of a foreign auxi-
liary army will induce the Tuscan Government to be
even mere jealous than ever to assert its independence
by a ready and attentive recognition of international law.
Her Majesty's Government consent to cede the point
urged by the Duke of Casigliano, and agree to con-
sider the two notes of the 10th and 11th of May as
cancelled.

You will read this dispatch to his Excellency, and
assure him of the sincere desire of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to maintain with the Court of Tuscany the
most friendly relations.—l am, &c.,

SIR HENRY BULWER TO THE EARL OF DIALMESBURY.

(Received June 28.)
Florence, June 21, 1852.
My Lord,—l think it right to make known to your
Lordship that I have heard a fact, upon good authority,
which may in some degree account for, though it can in
no wise excuse, the conduct of the Austrian officer to-
wards Mr. Erskine Mather on the 29th of December.
This fact is, that two days previous, when. some Aus-
trian troops were marching through the streets of
Florence, in somewhat the same manner as on the day
in question, a sergeant was struck with a knife by some
person in the crowd jostling against him; a circumstance
which tended to make the officers more than usually
scrupulous as to persons who appeared to be Italians
following and corning too near to their ranks.
_

I am not aware whether this incident has ever before
been brought to your Lordship's notice, but as it bears
upon the case, and has been communicated to me by a
person likely to be well informed, and on whose veracity
I can rely, I have deemed it fair to state it to your
Lordship.—l have, &c.,
(Signed)

H. L. BIILWER.

Loss OF THE FRENCH BRIO PAULINE, OF GRANVILLE.
—The English brig Crusader, Elacquoil master, arrived
at this port this morning, in thirty-four days from St.
Jago do Cabs, with coiLe for orders, by which we
learn the loss of the French brig Pauline, of Gran-

struck by a whale, and in twenty minutes afterwards
foundored. The master and crew, together with a pas-
senger (in all eleven persons), took to their boat, and
for three days were at the mercy of the winds and seas,
when they were fallen in with by the Crusader, and-
brought to this port. The Pauline was laden with sugar,
and bound from Porto Rico to Europe.
The unfortunate crew of the Pauline, on their arrival
at Cowes, presented themselves to the French consular
agent, Mr. William S. Day, through whom they have
been provided with clothing, Stu., and will be forwarded
to France, as soon as Captain Chevalier has made his
report and protest.

NAvvoo.—This city of the Mormons once held
20,000 inhabitants ; they are now about 2,000. One-half of
the houses the Mormons left have been removed or pulled
down, and the other half are tenantless. Each lot contains
an acre. The mansion of Joe Smith is kept by his wife—
once his widow, but now again a wife of another and a live
man—as a tavern. The front wall, and the one next to it,
which formed the vestibule, are all that is left standing of
the achievement of fanaticism called "The Temple," which,
as the inscription on a large stone, worked in the inner wall,
informs the visitor is, "The House of the Lord, built by the
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints. Com-
menced April 6, 1841." A company of French Socialists
have purchased a portion of the property, the site and the
ruins of the temple included. They number about 400.
