The following is the reply of the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY to the communication addressed to him at
Gaeta by the Governmental Commission of Florence :
" Your letter has given me the greater satisfaction as
it conveyed to me the agreeable news that the Tuscan
people had shaken off the yoke of a faction, small but
bold, to return to the paternal sway of him who had go-
verned them for; five-and-twenty years. The Tuscans
may be assured that buch as I have been hitherto I shall
continue to be. Their happiness shall be my constant
study, and no sacrifice on my part shall he wanting to
effect that result. Communicate, signers, to the Tuscans
the sentiments I have expressed towards them, and bo
assured that the moment I shall receive from you more
decisive information, I shall be prepared to resume the
reins of government.
" April 20. " LEOPOLD."
Leghorn had not surrendered on the 23d ult. A
Committee of defence had been appointed, and the
people were all arming themselves.
It had been intended to oppose the landing of the
French troops at Civita Vecchia, and it was not until
after the publication of the following proclamation
that the Governor suffered them to land without re-
sistance:—

" DECLARATION OP THE FRENCH EXPEDITIONARY DIVI-
SION TO TUE PRESIDENT OF CIVITA 'VECCHIA.
" The Government of the French Republic, always
anima

object is friendly, and to suport its legitimate influence.
It is further dctermioed not to impose on the popula-
,
tion any particular form of government which shall not
be chosen by the pc op!e.
The French Go-
vernment will provide for its troops, and pay in ready
money for all that it may require.

(Signed) " ESPITENT,
" Aide-de-Camp to the Commander-in-Chief.
" Civita Vecchia, April 24, 1849."

The President, on receiving this document, pub-
lished un answer, in which he says that he relies on the
loyalty of France, bat that should the Romans be de-
ceived, they would appeal to the judgment of Europe.
A courier was instantly sent to Rome, to inform the Go-
vernment of the intention of the French troops to de-
bark. Orders were Estantly transmitted from Rome to
prevent the expLdition fruttinom debarking, and to resist by
force a single soldier pg his foot on the Romish
States. Before this order was received at Civita Vecchia
the French troops had debarked, and had planted the
French and Roman flag on the top of the tree of liberty.
It is now said that 1,100 Roman troops arc march-
ing on Civita Vecchia, with orders to blockade the town.

On ;wising at the latter place at ten A.M.' the French
packet Rhamses was just starting, and, having em-
barked the Palermitans, proceeded on her passage.
The Odin also left on her return to Palermo, but
before she got out of sight of the Rhamses she saw
her strike on a rock, when she immediately turned
and proceeded to her assistance. Finding, however,
all attempts to save the vessel hopeless, the Odin took
on board all the passengers, 64 in number, together
with the officers and men, and arrived with them at
Malta on the • of the 26th.

Lett' 3rs and journals have arrived to the 23d of
March. They contain little interest. The accounts
from th e colonists who left Groningen to settle at
Sarania nca, is very unsatisfactory. It is stated, that
not lest than one-fifth part of them are so much dis-
appoinf.ed in their expectations that they intend to
return forthwith to the northern country.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,500 bales, of which 800 bales were taken on
speculation. The market closed with an increasing
firmness of tone. Compared with Friday's rates prices
of all kinds of American are the same, except 34d. to 4d.,
which are a shade dearer. Brazil is beginning to be
pressed on the market, and may be quoted at 4d. to -id.
per lb. lower. Surats are firm.—Railway Shares were
not quite so dull; still the business doing was small.
There is an absence of foreign arrivals with
news of any interest, and the Continental mails
bring nothing particular beyond a record of prices.
It is stated in leters from Berlin, that the Russian Go-
vernment was using its best offices to bring about an
arrangement of the Danish affair, but with what pros.
pect of success remains to be seen. One thing is cer-
tain, viz. that there is a growing impression here that
the English Government will not much longer submit
to the marked exception in favour of foreign ships
which Denmark is making at most of the Baltic ports.
Either the blockade must be effective and impartial, or
means must be taken to set it aside altogether. We
would not rely, however, too much upon the accounts sent
home by German houses. They naturally feel annoyed
as well as grievously injured by the interruption to
business, and may desire earnestly that England should
interfere, but it may be none the less sound policy on
our part to keep aloof. Supposing the case proved, we
shall doubtless hear of prompt action thereon.
It is stated that the Rhenish Bavarian provinces are
inclined to adopt an Emperor, and threaten to get up an
active opposition to the Government at Munich if they
do not acquiesce in the union of Germany.
The transactions on the Amsterdam Bourse on Tues-
day were but limited, but prices were firm for Dutch
securities. Spanish and Portuguese were firmer, and
Mexican advanced.
The Money Market is exceedingly easy here, and the
prospect of a little more bullion going to the United
States excites no apprehension in the face of continued
arrivals here, the Medway steamer having yesterday
brought more than 800,000 dollars. The more cheer-
ful advices from the West Indies, and the fair orders
from manufacturers received likewise by the Overland
Mail, are calculated to inspire the hope of better times.
The sales of Grain in the markets which govern the
official average prices were last week 86,484 qrs. of
wheat, 27,504 of barley, and 19,304 of oats. The six
weeks average for wheat is as low as 445. Bd. per quarter.
Upon consideration of Lord Brougham's speech, there
are many parties who are inclined to regard it as deal-
ing too much in hyperbole. No doubt the position of
several lines of railway needs investigation, but it does
not follow that there has been in all of them mal-
administration.
The Funds are very firm, although the transactions
have not been large. Consols have realised 924 to 4 for
Transfer, and 92i 4 for Account. The splendid weather
gives a favourable tone. The New Three-and-a-

The Foreign Securities have been very quiet, but not
lower. Mexican have realised 324 to I, with the cou-
pons. Grenada Stock has been 18* ; Brazilian small
are 79 ; Spanish Five per Cents. are 17k; and Portu-
guese Four per Cents. 28 to 29.
Railway Shares are well supported, though quiet.
Aberdeen and Caledonian are higher, and the old lines
are firmly held, though the money purchases are bu
small.
