The Nazionale of Florence states that, on the 14th,
a disturbance took place at Fucecchio, owing to a dis
pu-
te between some soldiers and townsmen. The
former having threatened to make use of their arms,
several of the people got possession of the muskets of
the National Guard, now dissolved, and others began
to throw stones. Peace was restored, however, before
much harm had been done on either side. The Tuscan
Government immediately sent a party of 100 Velites
to the spot.

A. letter from Rome of the 13th, in the Concordia,
states that General BiRAGUAY D'HILLIERS has been
obliged to place sentinels before the statue of Pas-
QUINO, in order to put an end to the unceasing satires
which daily encumber the monument of that cele-
brated personage.
A letter from Vienna of the 17th states that an
Austrian corps d'arm6e is to enter Rome at the same
time as the POPE.

A letter from Naples of the 12th Feb. says:—
