FLORENCE, Nov. 2.

The elections of the members of the municipality
at Florence, and other places in Tuscany, have
terminated without ajy result, on account of almost
all the electors having abstained from voting.
The National Assembly has been convoked for the
ith November.

MARSEILLES, NOv. 2.

Advices from Constantinople of the 2Gth ult.
state that the new Grand Vizier insisted, in the first
place, that the eulprits in the late conspiracy
should not be executed. To this the Sultan has
readily given his consent. The sympathies of the
population continte to be in favour of the accused.
The Grand Vizier remands complete reforms, and
wishes that the chief religious dignitaries shall
contribute largely :o the public taxes, and that the
Sultan shall sacrifice one-third of his own revenue.
The Grand Vizier having met with resistance to
these measures among his colleagues, a modifica-
tion of the Ministry will therefore take place. It
is stated that Ethem Pasha will succeed Fuad
Pasha.

The Chief of th. General Staff, Riza Pasha, has
been banished.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The heavy gales that have been blowing for the
last 24 hours have interrupted the communications
between the French and English coasts, the weather
being so boisterous that the packets have been un-
able to put to sea. Our London letters and papers
of yesterday have consequently failed to reach us.
A private letter of the 31st of October from San
Sebastian states that early in the morning of the
29th three steamers arrived at that port to take
troops for Africa. At 9 o'clock they began putting
the baggage on board, and a portion of the troops.
At 3 in the afternoon two battalions of the Toledo
Regiment, with full bands at their head, and colours
flying, marched to the quay, where boats were wait-
ing to convey them to the ships. In about a quar-
ter of an hour, however, they marched back again to
their barracks, being prevented from embarking by
a tremendous gale of wind which suddenly rose.
During the storm a boat, carrying three small brass
guns, was capsized, and the guns went to the
bottom. No life was lost ; the boat went on shore.
To embark the horses of the cavalry was, of
course, out of the question. One poor soldier was
crushed to death between the boat and the steamer,
and another so injared as to require amputation.
Though the weather was so boisterous the Spanish
merchant steamer Rita, manned by Biscayans,
and which had about 300 of the troops on board,
stood out to sea ; and, while people thought she
was making for the harbour of Passages, which is
hardly three miles distant, sailed away on her desti-
nation. On the 30th, seeing the difficulty, and even
the danger, of attempting to embark at San Sebas-
tian, it was decided that the troops should proceed
to Passages, and there go on board. The steamers
went there at once; but instead of embarking, as ex-
pected, the troops had rations brought them from
San Sebastian (for they could get nothing at Pas-
sages), and were billited for the night in the houses
in the town. Various causes were assigned for the
delay ; one was, that the troops were not provided
with water. This is absurd, for the water is both
plentiful and good at Passages. The men and offi-
cers got leave to go to San Sebastian to amuse
themselves, or buy whatever necessaries they
wanted; but though on the 31st (the date of the
letter) the weather was fine and the wind favour-
able, they had not yet left Passages.

Oa the 29th a chassemaree, laden with coals
from the Asturias, was driven ashore at San Sebas.

A few days back the Delegates of the Provincial
Deputations of the three Basque Provinces, Biscay,
Guipuzcoa, and Alava, met at Victoria, the capital
of the last named. The object was to discuss a pro-
position made by a member of the Guipuzcoan
deputation for the creation of a legion of Basques,
to be equipped and paid by their native provinces,
and to be officered by Basques. The ancient fueros
of Biscay specifies that whenever war is made
against the Moors the Basque Provinces shall send
a force, at their own cost and without any burden
to the Crown of Castile, to fight against the Infidel.
Echague, who commands one of the divisions of
the expeditionary army, is a native of San Sebastian,
capital of Guipuzcoa, and a Basque pur sang.
It is said that the interview between the King of
Sardinia and General Garibaldi, which various tele-
grams have announced, was not the most satisfac-
tory. According to this account Garibaldi declared
frankly to the King that Italy was betrayed, and
that he should put himself at the head of the revo-
lution ; and that Victor Emmanuel replied that he
hoped that he would not commit such an absurdity,
but that if he did so, there was no alternative but to
employ force to prevent it. It is also again stated
that the French Government has received favour-
able despatches from the Duke de Grammont at
Rome, and that the Holy Father had announced to
the Duke that after the insurgents in the Romagna
have returned to their allegiance, which he pre-
sumes they will do after the restoration of the
Grand Dukes, he will readily grant all the reforms
recommended by the Emperor Napoleon.
