TUSCANY.

Extract of a letter from firicany, furnished to us by
a correspondent, dated March 10:

" Vie are in a state of great excitement from the landing
of the French at Ancona ; how things will end God only
knows. They are as much dreaded here by the powers
that be as the cholera, and are supposed to be much more
infectious. The people, as a body, look on, eat, drink,
,poke, make love, and pray, but the active spirits are on
the move Good sense and good government may do
much, and calm the excitement ; but as to the Roman le-
i cations, they will not remain under the dominion o► the
Pope. Submit they must, and will, to the Austrian or
French force ; but unless these permanently occupy all the
towns, &c., the moment they retire the same scene will be
repeated. The conduct of the Pap.dini has been horrible ;
all sorts of horrors have been committed churches
sacked under the eye of the Cardinal—men, women, and
children murdered, not in a struggle, hut in cool blood,
where there was no resistance. How could it be other-
wise, when the: troop were selected from the assassins of
the high roads, and from the galley-slaves ? This fatal
measure has destroyed all hope of settlement, and you may
consider all chance of the Pap .1 pow-r in the Romagna
•is at an end. I have received a most interesting nar-
rative of all that took place at Foili, Cesena, and
Ravenna, with the names, condition, and sexes of
the people massacred, and 1 never read any thing
more horrible. lam very sorry for it, as it weakens
all my hopes of peace, and shakes the fabric of all
that exists in the whole peninsula. If' have a good occa-
sion, I will send you a general view of the state of things,
hut I cannot trust it by the post, as you would never re-
,wive it. In this province we are all quiet, because the
Government is pr,c,ically mild, and towards its own sub-
jects gentle and confiding,—not a ways very wise, but I
believe always meaning very well, according to the lieht it
has ;--but you know the police of old watchmen, ao you
may judge of the police of old vliticians. Our resident,
Mr. Seymour, is gone to Rome to be the go-between be-
tween Aurria and France ; of course not to incur a pre-
munire by treating with the Pope. I cannot too stronk ly
press upon your attention the necessity of having one
Government agent possessed with our own political feel-
ings,--you can have li-tle notion of its value The Tory
considers all resistance, even to a bad Government, as a
crime (ii n'ainze pas les revokes) ; but this is not the
worst part of the matter; his opinions being known, he
becomes discredited by all the generous and act ve part of
the community, even by those who, thou,:h they like good
laws, would not take an illegal sep to obtain them ; he
t`iiis I+ iennrant of wh it is re dly going on, and receives his
information from the enemy."

The Prussian Tariff lot 1832 raises the duties
on coffee, sugar, tea, spices, tobacco, (both in leaves and ma.
nufactured) cocoa, chocolate, oysters, &c. According to the
Prussian Finance and Custom-house Laws, from 1818 to 1831,
the duty, both inwards and outwards, was payable in Frederica
d'or—a gold coin calculated at five dollars in silver, though
their value rose and fell with the demand, as any other mar.
chandise. The annual amount of the Prussian Customs was
ten millions of dollars, therefore the agio of 13 .i per cent. or
premium on gold, amounted to about 600,04) dollars, which is
now obviated by making the duty payable in silver, The free
Imperial Hanse Towns of Hamburgh and Bremen are almost
entirely cut off, by the Prussian line of Custom-house,, in their.
communications with the interior of Germany, it being the.
policy of Prussia to favour Holland, and the towns of Cologne',
Coblentz, &c. in the Rhenish Provinces of Prussia. The Se.
nate of Hamburg has made remonstrances on the subject, as
that town is likely to lose the whole of it. profitable commis.
sion and transit trade; especially since E.ectoral Hesse has ac-
ceded to the Prussian system- England, on the other hand, is
said to be disposed to favour Belgium, which, by means of rail
roads now constructing, and canals, endeavours to secure to it-
self the profit of the conveyance of merchandize from Antwerp,
Ostend, &c. to the Rhine; whilst Holland strenuously objects
to Belgium participating in the navigation of her canals, and
resists even the stipulations of the Protocols of the COnferenee.
