STATE OP ITALY.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
Aeon'i the following letter from Tuscany, it ap-
a
r'
rs that extensive arrests have taken place in va-
c'us towns, and that the police has been busy in
ebleulating all manner of reports. We are assured,
an Italian gentleman,who has the best intelligence
of
What is passing in his own country, that some-
htng serious is brewing there at this moment.

oAhs respecting Austria, with which the German
ers have teemed for some time hack. We have
,;n doubt that Austria has at length determined on
411 e decisive steps in Italy :

Venturi, M. Salvagnoli, and M. Pini, with M.
Yspe:andri, a plumber of some reputation, and several

I b'e Prisons and fortresses. A Canon of Pistoia, a
peede and venerable man, is also arrested, and it is ex-
it, that the list of political prisoners will be largely
titeLea,d, though those already arrested are not accused
