ITALY.

The Concordia, of Turin, quotes a letter from
Florence of the 20th, stating that the strangest ru-
mours are current about the band of IL P&SSATORE,
who still infests both the Tuscan and Papal Ro-
magna, notwithstanding the exertions of the Austrian
troops. Engagements are said to have taken place
with his men in the vicinity of Cortona, in which the
Austrians were worsted. They also say that IL
PASSXTORE has two pieces of cannon, that he has
divided his band into three bodies, giving each a
commander, and that he is well provided with arms
and money.
Accounts have been received from Naples of the
17th. Austria and Russia have both strongly re-
monstrated with King Bomnl on the violence of his
reactionary proceedings, and have counselled him not
to do away entirely with the constitution.
The Commissioners for the adjustment of the Eng-
ish and French claims have gone to Messina.

It is just rumoured that Lord Brougham is to be
created an Earl, with remainder to his brother (Mr.
William Brougham, one of the Masters in Chancery),
for his great public service in the House of Lords and
Privy Council.

THE NEPAUL PRINCES.--PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.--
His Excellency the Envoy from Nepaul, with the Princes
and suite, arrived here from Paddington by express train at
about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. They alighted at
several of the stations, but partook only of water on the

their families, waited on the Plymouth platform, where the
illustrious visitors were officially received by Lieutenant F.
Warren, flag-lieutenant of Commodore Lord John Hay, who
has the honour of entertaining them during their stay here.
Port-Admiral Sir W. Hall Gage and his secretary, Mr.
Irving, were also at the station, and paid their respects to the
Envoy. The party consisted of his Excellency, with two
other Princes, two superior officers and an interpreter, and
twelve domestics, ten of whom were in Oriental and two in
European costume. The former were conveyed in two of
Moorshead's chaises and the latter in three flys from the
station to the Dockyard, where all the officers of the estab-
lishment and a military guard of honour were ready to re-
ceive them. The old check-office, now occupied by Lieu- '
tenant Warren, and vacated for the convenience of his Ex-
cellency and suite, has been prepared for their occupation,
and sentinels posted at the entrance. It is understood that
they will remain several days in this neighbourhood, and
that they will visit Falmouth and descend some of the Cor-
nish mines. Every attention was paid to the visitors and
their attendants by Mr. Kerr, superintendent, and other
railway officers, who carefully prevented all unnecessary in-
trusion. On leaving the station the Princes were greeted by
a hearty cheer from the crowd assembled outside.
