ITALY.

The .Riforma of Lucca, of the 26th ult., publishes
the reply of the Grand Duke to the address of the
Deputies of Lucca. It was as follows:
" i receive with satisfaction and gratitude the ex-
pression of the sentiments and loyalty of the
population of Lucca, which certainly was not
the last among the cities of Tuscany to co-
operate in restoring the Constitutional Monarchy.
The wishes you have expressed are in harmony with
mine, and I desire nothing more ardently than their
realisation and the attainment of the end to which our
common endeavours tend, namely, the interests, dignity,
and the well-understood welfare and real advantage of
our beloved Tuscany." _ _

The Genoa Gazette of the 28th ult. quotes the
following letter from Arezzo, of the 2Sth :
" A second column of Austrian troops, commanded by
General Stadion, bas just entered our town. Last night
the other column left in pursuit of Garibaldi, a portion
of whose force bas penetrated into the Pontifical States
in the direction of Citerna. Garibaldi levied a contri-
bution of 1,000 south at Castiglione. He is now en-
camped on the hill of the Capuchins of Citerna, in Ro-
magna. His intention is to proceed to Rimini."
