Tne Minister 01 rinanc3 then brought up the
I port on the finances, from which it results that the
revenue for 1849 amounts to 8,023 814 crowns, and
the expenditure to 13,192,000, leaving a deficit of
5,168,186 crowns. The representative CARPI
Proposed to declare that the national public debt was
Inviolable. This proposition was well received by the
Chamber.

The Minister of Justice proposed, on behalf of the
Executive Commission, a decree abolishing all eccle-
siastical jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters, as
well relating to persons as property, except as regards
!natters purely spiritual.
The Assembly has also voted an alliance, offensive
and defensive, . with Tuscany. ARMELLINI
an-
nounced that the executive of the Roman Republic
had dispatched charges d'offaires to Paris, London,
Xii,cany, Piedmont and Switzerland.

The acting Government, composed of GUERIrAZZI,
4vIONTANELLI, and ZANETTI, has taken the name of
Provisional Junta of the Roman Republic in Tuscany.
AlAzzira is engaged in negotiating an union between
the Republics of Rome and Tuscany.
There is some uncertainty as to the whereabouts of
the ex-Grand Duke. The Neapolitan correspondent
of the French National announces his arrival at Gaeta,
whilst other accounts state that he has joined General
TANGIER at Viareggio, and placed himself at the head
of the militia, who remain faithful to him.
The Costituente Italian of Florence of the 17th
announces that Lieutenant-Colonel BANCIII has in-
formed the Provisional Government, by a dispatch of
the 13th from Porto Ferrajo, that the whole garri-
son of Elba had taken the oath of fidelity to the
revolution, according to the form prescribed by the
Minister of War. The Provisional Government of
Tuscany has solemnly declared that it is has re-
ceived no protest from LEOPOLD against its acts ; and
that whenever such official document shall be re-
ceived, it shall be immediately published.
It is said that King CHARLES ALBERT will not
interfere, in the affairs of Tuscany.
The popular irritation against the Swiss in Italy has
attained a high degree at Venice. On the 29th of
`Tan. the clubs of that city called on the Government
t° expel all the Swiss, if' within a month the Swiss
troops had not quitted Naples, and if the measures
t,aken against the talian refugees by the Federal
k;ouncil were not reloked.

TTLEMENT OF THE DISPUTE
BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND MOROCCO.
Gibraltar, Feb. 13,1849.
f° I have the honour to acquaint you for the in-
rmation of the members of your establishment eon-
litteted with the trade of Morocco, as well as
°tilers, that the late dispute between the Sultan and
t°,4l' Government, which gave rise to the presence in
Charles
waters of the squadron under Admiral Sir
`-'llarles Napier, has been brought to an aini-
rtle conclusion by the Moorish Government at
st consenting to two British merchants being nomi-
"ted by J. 11. Drummond H:.37, Esq , her Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires in Meroceri, to examine and adjudi-
ate on the claims of Mr. Redman, of Mazagan, for in-
-I.(lanification of losses arising from the withdrawal of a
hihim to export wheat in 1846, whieh had been granted
hi hihimby the Sultan for certain services rendered by
ti RI in defending Maztgan against the Kabyles during
le War with France in 1844.
4rhe reference in question was male to myself and
~tr. W. Hess, of this city. and the amount awarded by •
,12, 10,000 dollars, will be immediately paid by the
Morocco Government in sight of oar decision.
t c4Pait of the squadron has already departed, and the
„ro'ed4inder will sail, I believe, in the course of two or

ei-:ns:iidered that very great credit is due to her
titi:J_ 's representative in Morocco for his very un-
trHg exertions and zeal in obtaining ample justice for
410.1 subjects on this, as on rill occasions where the
, •
tee .uual interest has required his interference and pro-
ttl°n• Moreover, the precedent which Mr. Drum-
kr (1 Hay has just succeeded in establishing for the
ot"itration of such questions in this manner is deemed
the highest importance.

I°o number of persons charged with cffences in the

of that description which appeared in the ca-

ti,jr~ es of murder, it would be material fur them to eoli-
