ITALY.

The news of the success of the reactionaries in
Tuscany is confirmed. The Corriere Mercantile of
Gen :a of the 14th, gives the following amount of the
events which have happened at Florence
"It appears that on the 1 1 th, a party of Leghorn
volunteers having dined at a tavern out of the Pratogate,
refused to pay their bill, and the innkeeper insisting upon
his due, a brawl ensued in whichhewaskil killed.

attempted to pacify the people. The Livornese, who
had the day before fired upon the unarmed crowd on
the Piazza S. Maria Novello, 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 importance of their mission.
They assume the direction of affairs in the name of
your Prince, and trust they will deliver you from the
consequences of an invasion. Ttie municipality, in this
solemn moment, add to their body five citizens who

UERRAZZI had disappeared.
A town was quiet; G eared._
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
a complete triumph, after a conflict at Florence between
the people and the Leghorn volunteers. The latter were
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. We 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. CAPO QUADRA, RICASOLI BELLINI, &B-
RISTOW, CAPPONI LINO, TOURIGIANI.
The Genoa Gazette of the 14th states that there
are lying in the port of Gaeta, four Spanish frigates,
two French war. steamers, two English frigates, and
three Neapolitan vessels of war, About 20,000 Nea-
politans are marching towards the frontier of the
Homan States. The municipality of Genoa has or-
dered an inquiry into the excesses committed at Genoa
by the soldiery.
