TUSCANY.

- -
The . following is the text of the proclamation
published by the Tuscan Government on the occa-
sion of the answer from the King of Sardinia :
" Tuscans ! King Victor Emmanuel has acceded
to our wishes, and, strengthened by
the rights
with which he is thereby invested, he will plead
our cause before Europe. Thanks to this great
act, Tuscany again becomes an Italian land ; with-
out any vestige of foreign dominion. After so
many ages of division and discord, the provinces
of the Peninsula spontaneously unite under the
magnanimous defender of Italian independence.
The brave inhabitants of the Subalpine valleys,
the enfranchised brethren of Lombardy stretch out
their hand to Tuscany, and all proclaim themselves
sons of the same country. Our old literary re-
nown is joined to the military force of Piedmont :
every Italian race adds its treasures to the common
patrimony. That is not a provincial vassalage, it
is the real constitution of the nation. Let us re-
joice at having lived long enough to be present at
this sublime spectacle of concord, and to gather its
first fruits. Let
_us persevere in our efforts, and

orepare ourselves for every trial in order to secuL
he triumph of so just and glorious a cause!

" The wish,s of Tuscany have been listened
Victor Emmanuel accepts our offer to be govern toed

:,trong kingdom which may for ever secure Itallls
fills
indepenJence. This happy intelligence, which fi
our souls with joy, is a great event in the •
history
of our country. It assures us that we may so.on
obtain nai the sureme boon to which
we aspire.tional
Afterun theon, p
anxiety and the fears of the
past, our hearts can at length give themselves uP
to Joy. Lovely Florence shall to-morrow celebrate
by a splendid illumination the day on which new
andindissoluble bonds unite her to the other cities
of the Subalpine kingdom.

" Florence, Sept. 5, 1859.
The Government of Tuscany has decreed that two
modals shall be struck, one commemorating the
vote of the Tuscan Assembly proclaiming the down-
fall of the house of Lorraine, and the other th vote
e
declaring that Tuscany wishes to form part of the
Subalpine kingdom.

ROMAGNA.
The following is the text of the motion presented
the
to the Assembly of Romagna on the 3d, and
adoption of which has already been announced by
telegraph
Considering that the people of Romagna, after
having in former centuries lived under their own
statutes and laws, and, in the beginning of the
present century, formed part of a civil kingdom'
were in 1815 placed under the temporal Govern-
ment of the Pope against their will; considering
that that Government, while it did not revive the
old privileges, destroyed the good ins it
tests of
je
the Italian kingdom, and afflicted its cts bY
its bad administration, well known to Europe ;
considering that from that moment the history of
these provinces become a painful succession cif re-
-
volutions and reactions, so that at length excep
tional measures and the state of siege became tb t
e
ordinary rule of Government ; considering tha
this produced serious evils, not only by destroy-
ing public prosperity, but also by overthrowing
the moral sense of the people, with incessant dan
ger to the tranquillity of Italy and Europe ; on-
sidering that every attempt at reform Was vain,'
that th, prayers of the people remained unheard,
as well as the advice of the potentates of Eu-
rope, and that the promises made were nev her
er
kept ; considering that the said Government
been found to be incompatible with Italian na-
tionality, with civil equality and political librty;
considering that it was not even able to defend
the lives and property of its subjects; consider-
ing that it abdicated its sovereignty de facto, giving
up its noblest prerogatives into the hands of Au s-1
trian generals, who for many years held the iv
-1
and military Government of these provinces in
their hands, and conducted it ill ; considering that,
it cannot support itself by its own strength, but
only by foreign or mercenary armies, and has there
fore become incompatible with public tranquillity
and permanent order; lastly, considering that the
temporal Government of the Pope is substantiallY
and historically distinct from the spiritual Guverli:,
ment of the Church, which these populations will
always respect ; we, representatives of the people
of Romagna, convoked in general assembly, and
calling God to witness as to the rectitude of our
intentions, declare :—That the people of Romagna
refuse to live any longer under the temporal swill
of the Pontiff."

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived'
The Count de Lugena (Marshal O'Donnell) had re:
ceived the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold
from the King of the Belgians. One of the Per
nals publishes a letter from Tangiers which state:
that a dissension had arisen between the Spy
and English vice-consuls, in consequence of the
former having summoned before him for some rea-
son a Spanish sailor who had engaged himself °II
board an English ship, and on the man's refusal to
appear had had him arrested and lodged in prix

sent a report on the 'natter to his Government, and
had even, it is said, demanded a war steamer front

TURKEY.
The Constantinople journals mention an accident
was very nearly occurring to the Sultan.
The Levant Herald gives the following account of
the matter :
" A circumstance occurred in the entrance to the
harbour, two afternoons ago, which deserves mhene-
tion in the most reprehensive terms. About t
acrossre
p.m. his Majesty the Sultan was being towed ,
ih his state caique from the palace at Dolraaßat.chde
to the old Seraglio, when, as the caique had gaine
about the centre of the Golden Horn, a steam-tug
was observed head out of the harbour in the direc
that-
tion of Seraglio Point. Though it was evident
the Imperial caique could not be unperceived by tile
t/
captain of the tug, who was on the bridge, th
steamer bore on steadily towards it. Theimperial
crew in consequence plied their oars with unusual
vigour, and were shooting across out of the steamer 0
e Th her
track, when the latter was observed to chang
course, and still make head-on for the caique. e
Imperial coxswain called out, but in vain,
till his
Majesty himself, in well-grounded alarm, rose up
and joined in the warning cry. Even this, how'
arently; have been unavailingt.haa
ever, would app

effort to shoot her close to the shore, out of all but

The German Journal of Frankfort says :--"
is well known that the French Cabinet has pro
posed to Austria to endeavour to arrive at a. solu•
ton of the Italian question, by convokin, in the
room of the present constituent assemblies, other
bodies elected by a different mode, and under gua-
rantees which would allow no doubts to exist as to
their right of speaking in the name of the cutl.
The Cabinet of Vienna has, it is said, accepted thia
Proposition."
