ITALY.

The news of the success of the reactionaries in
Tuscany is confirmed. The Corriere Mercantile of
Gems of the 14th, gives the following ac3ount of the
events which have happened at Florence
"It appears that on the 11th, a party of Leghorn
volunteers having dined at a tavern out of the Prato ate,
refused to pay their bill, and the innkeeper insisting upon
his due, a brawl ensued in which he was killed. The
neople hastened to the spot, and a serious fray, in
which about ten persons were killed and 35 severely
wounded took place. During the evening crowds paraded
the town, crying Viva Leopoldo IL !" Death to Gnu--
razzi 1' Some trees of liberty were cut down by the very
hands that had planted them. On the morning of the 12th
the same seenes were repeated. Guerrazzi in vain
attempted to pacify the people. The Livornese, who
had the day before fired upon the unarmed crowd on
the Piazza 6. Maria Novelle, were made to quit the
town in secret. About noon all the shops were shut, the
civic guard was under arms, and the municipality named
a Commission of Government, and published the follow-
ing proclamation :
" Citizens,—ln the present serious circumstances your
magistrates feel all the impor►ance of their mission.
They assume the direction of aiTairs in the name of
your Prince, and trust they will deliver you from 0-. e
consequences of an invasion. The municipality, in this
stleinu moment, add to their body five citizens who
enjoy your confidence, and are—Gino Capponi, 13e1-
lino Ricasoli, Lugi Serrhtori, Carlo Torrigiani, Cesare
Capoquadri.
"From the Town-house of Florence, April 12.
For the Gonfaloniere.
" ORAZIO CESARE RICASOLI, First Priore."
Shortly after another proclamation appeared to this
effect :

" The Tuscan Constituent Assembly declares itself in
permanence. It will take, in conc rt with the General
of the National Guard and the munic:pal:ty, the neces-
sary- steps for the safety of the country.
(Signed) " TADDEI, President."
" April 12.
The town was quiet; GuEalizzi had disappeared.
A letter from Leghorn, of the 13th, published in
the Nouvelliste of Marseilles, says :
"The reaction which took place yesterday at Flo-
rence, and at other points of the Grand Duchy, has had

saved only by the intervention of the National Guard,
the cavalry, and some detachments of the line. Thanks
to this protection, these turbulent patriots were able to
quit Florence, and direct their course to Leghorn, not,
however, without been frequently attacked on their way
by the peasantry, who hunted them like wild beasts. A
municipal commission, composed of moderate constitu-
tionalists, was instantly formed, to govern in the name
of the Grand Duke. This news has caused the greatest
agitation here. Ws fear disorders quite as grave as those
which have taken place at Genoa.
It appears that the reaction has also triumphed at
Leghorn, from which port a steamer was dispatched
on the 14th to Gaeta, to bring back the GRAND DUKE.
The following personal friends of the GRAND DUKE
have constituted themselves a Provisional Government,
to administer the affairs of Tuscany until his re-
turn :—MM. CAFO QUADRA, RICASOLI BELLINI, SER•
RISTORI, CAPrONI GINO, TORRIGIANI.
The Genoa Gazette of the 14th states that there
are lying in the port of Gaeta, four Spanish frigates,
two f, rench war. steamers, two English frigates, and
three Neapolitan vessels of war. About 20,000 Nea-
politans are marching towards the frontier of the
Roman States. The municipality of Genoa has or-
dered an inquiry into the excesses committed at Genoa
by the soldiery.
