In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of
Turin, of the 24th, Deputy RAVINA read the report
of the committee on the treaty of peace with Austria.
The following is the conclusion proposed by the
committee :—" In consequence of the hard
and inexorable necessity that crushes us at
present, the committee proposes to the Cham-
ber to declare that only by the force of this
inevitable and fatal necessity, it does not offer any
opposition to the execution of the present treaty."
The Chamber listened in silence to the report, with-
out any outward signs of disapprobation or consent.
The Legge of Turin states from Florence, 20th,
that the members of the Tuscan Government
are very much divided on the Constitutional
question ; MAZZI, BALDASSEROTM, and CASIGLIANO
being for the statute, LANDUCCI for Absolutism,
and BOCCELLA. Still undecided. All the leading
political men—such as RIDOLFI, SALVAGNOLI,
and BETTINO Ricesom—have disappeared from
Tuscany. The same paper announces that the
members of the deputation named by the Senate
to receive the mortal remains of Charles Albert,
the arrival of which is shortly expected, have
set out for Genoa. M. XENOCRATES CESARI, one
of the members of the Roman Constituent Assem•
bly who voted against the Republic, has arrived at
Turin. Among the persons imprisoned at Rome for
political opinions only, without being guilty of any
acts in favour of them, are the Notary GUGGIOLI,
the Architect FADRI, Advccate BERNARDI, Advocate
MONELLI, Monsignor GAZOLA, Professor ROLL!,
Commissary OFFREDUZZI, Secretary CESARELLI, and
Dr. A clitur.

We learn, by a letter from Tuscany, that great
sensation has been caused, at the Baths of Lucca,
.by an arbitrary order to an English officer there
to quit the territory. Our correspondent
says :—" The Prefect of Lucca has issued
a mandate, without previous trial or inquiry, to
an officer of rank in the British service, who has
been a continuous resident at the Baths of Lucca
for seven seasons, to leave the department within
three days, and has had the courtesy to order his lady
away with him ; the front of his offence being that
he had given a tract upon a religious suhket, pub-
lished in Tuscany, to a paralytic in the hospital.
The British residents have, on the occasion, agreed
to the following protest, which has been forwarded
to the British Minister at Florence :

" We, the undersigned English residents and visi-
tors at the Bagni di Lucca, having heard that our
countryman, Captain Pakenham, R.N., has received
a peremptory order from the authorities of Lucca,
requiring his departure from out the territory
within the space of three days, and forbidding his
return thereto unless provided with a special per-
mission from the Government, hereby protest against
an act which, not merely arbitrary and oppressive as
regards an individual, is also a deep offence to a
nation whose members have ever shown a willing
obedience to the laws of the country, and a prompt
readiness to assist by all means in their power its
local charities. We protest against the injustice of
a mandate that does not convey the sentence of a
tribunal, nor even the shadow of an allegation. We
protest against the tyranny of an order for whose
peremptory execution we are convinced no exigency
calls; and finally, we protest against an act that must
subvert that confidence in the due administration of
justice, which, as natives of a free country, we esteem
a birthright, and without feeling which we never
would have made this land our residence."

DETERMINED SUICIDE IN A PUBLIC HOUSE —On
Thursday afternoon, about four o'clock, a most deter-
mined act of self-destruction was committed by an elderly
man, named John Chapman, in front of the bar of the
Three Compasses, public-house, Little Marylebone-
street. Chapman bad carried on fur many years the
business of a coffeehouse-keeper, in High-street, Mary
lehone. For some time past he had met with many
misfortunes, and a large numb E-r of his customers,
through his kindness, had become indebted to him and
left his shop. The result was that his affairs were much
embarrassed, and about five weeks sinco the whole of
his furniture and business utensils were seiw.d for a debt.
On Thursday afternoon he entered the Three Compasses,
obtained a glass full of water, into which he emptied
a white powder, and before any person could prevent
him, drank off the contents of the glass at a draught.
Ile reeled backwards on to a form, and a surgeon was
immediately sent for, but when he arrived he pro-
nounced life to be quite extinct. It was afterwards dis-
covered that he had swallowed a quantity of arsenic. 1
