Political Matters an Leghorn.
Signor Tartini, lately named Governor of this
place, with Slgnori G. Baudi, and Duchoque,
Provisional Counsellors of the Government, had
come from Florence for the purpose OF executing
their functions; but, as they were preparing to
enter Leehom, the Gontaloniere Fabbri stopped
them, assuring them that their entrance into the
city would cause serious disturbances; that the
municipality had prepared a proclamation inform.
Ing the people of the nomination of the said Sigg.
Tartlnl, BaDd and Duchoquc, and OF their arrival;
but that they had not dared to get it posted being
informed that II would be received with public
expressions OF contt mpt and that threats had been
made to arrest the new corners, and keep them
prisoness in the fortress. After several SUISSE
quent negotiations and interviews with Guelrazzl
and other chief citizens OF Leghorn, convinced
that their presence would be dangerous there, and
that they could not even have relied upon the Mi-
niclpal Guard, they returned to Florence to await
further orders. in consequence OF these events,
the 3Oth ult., most numerous meeting was
held IN TIE cathedral, composed OF the clergy, the
municipality, the Chamber of Commerce, and the
most influential citizens, under the presldence Of
the Gontaloniere, when GueraZzl addressed them
IN long speech, IN the course OF which he OBJ
served. that as the government had abandoned
them, II beloved them TO protect themselves. He
proposed that deputatlon should be sent to Flo
renee TO demand IA redress of grievances; if it
should obtain this, all difficulties would cease;
but, if not, report of their mission should be
made TO the people, and such measures adopted as
would appear most conducive to the interests OF
the city, after having published manifesto ex-
rlsnstory of events, TO all the courts of Europe.
The Gonialonlere supported the observations of
Guerozzl, and the following resolutions were then
passed.
