PRUSSIA
BERLIN, July l8.-The Prussian Gazette publishes
leading article in defence of the attitude taken bv
| Prussia during the last few months and endeayors
prove that its policy has prevented an universal
war. The article lays the chief stress upon the
fact that real and substantial basis for ioninr in
the war was wanting 1t goes on thus:
| "Prussia can draw her sword for German and
Prusslan interests, but not for maintaining or re-
establishing state of affairs in Italy which Aus
trla herself has recoguisedas not mantainabe; nor
for sustaining isolated articles of the treaties fISl5
(niehtt"r Feststeliung eazelner Bestimmungen der
Vertrage 1815.")
The article further says:
''The proposals for mediation made by Prussia
were far more favorable than the preliminaries of
peace which have now been agreed upon'
The article concludes:
"Prussia has occasion to be dissatisfied with
the unexpected turn matters have taken While
dlscontinung her military measures she awaits the
further development of affairs with calmness."

The Tuscan Council of State, consisting of the
most eminent men in the Grand Duchy, unani-
mousiy voted on the 18th the union of Austria with
the new Kingdom of Northern Italy, under the SOW

King and Emperor of the French in accordance

mands that in any case Tuscany shall not be placed
again under the yoke of Austrian Princes

ceiving of the armstice are stated in the LET

| FLORENCE, July IA, l859-The news of the con-
! cusion of peace has excited immense agitation 1t
! was so unexpected, so improbable, that people at
| tlrst refused to believe it. When it became impos-
! slbie to doubt the emotion became general and
gave rise to some disorder. The official pacard an
nounclng the peace was torn down in many places
The printing office of the Tuscan MoniteHr was in
yaded by the populace, and all the copies of the pa
! per found in it were taken out and burnt. The
| Able Casali, the manager of the paper was mar
| ticularly blamed by the crowd not for having
printed the Emperor's despatch as a piece of news
but for having done it without waiting for an au-
! thorizaton from the Provisional Government and
! thereby betrayed feeling which, as an old func-
| tionary OF the Grand Ducal Government he was
very naturally suspected of entertaining. The in
reference OF some courageous citizens alone saved
hlm from summary punishment by the populace
| and preserved his printing Office from the flames
The gendarmes attempted to act, but they were not
| suihclently numerous to maintain order. Fortu-
| nately the National Guard which was on the eve
! of being organized, assembled spontaneously and
formed force Of 300 men, which paraded the streets
OF the city during the night Their presence soothed
the agitation, and they found no necessity to make
use of their arms In the morning OF the next dav
the Government published the following procama-
ton:
Tuscans: The news of events which interrupt the
most brilliant hopes, causes general and profound
grief. The Government shares your sentiments
| We must not, however, give wav to discourage
ment, and must be content to wait for more annie
! DETAILS Under present circumstances our task is
to unite more closely than ever, to show our firm

lost: Citizens deputed by us are about to proceed
to Turin to learn what is the real state of things
| Meanwhile, remember that any extreme manifesto

| These simple and heartfelt words which were
thoroughly understood by the population, contrbut-

Mere. (Mayor) published the following procama-
! ton:
Inhabitants of Florence, Join my voice to that
OF the Government to beg at this moment of solemn
expectation to be calm and united, to appeal to
your falth IN the Italian cause and to your conf
denee In the loyalty of King Victor Emanuel
The city was yesterday painfully surprised by the
receipt of unexpected news. The emotion, the re-
gret displayed by you, prove the generosity of
sire to see the wishes you have so long formed
complished Let the voice of reason moderate your
uneasiness. Show yourselves equal to events. 1t
was never more necessary than for you TO be
united and to have but WILL Your destines
depend upon your moderation and sagacity Your
deyotedness to Victor Emanuel and your confidence
IN him can alone assure your deliverance from
dynasty whose policy is irreconcileable with the
sacred sentiments which animate Italy.

Florence, July IA. NJ BARrHoLomEL
1t will be observed that these procamations
while deprecating street agitation assume that if
the Tuscans united, Victor Emanuel will pro-
tect them from the return of the Austrian Lord
Lieutenant, the Grand Duke of Tuscany In con-
nection with this legitimate expectation, beg leave
to draw your attention to an ugly piece of news
signitied by telegraph to-day. part of the French
army OF Italy, which the Emperor said was about
to return to France, is-to march through Tuscany
and to embark at Leghorn. Evidently its mission
is to restore 'order in the interests of Austria by
the way.
WHY THE SWISS TROOPS REvoLTED.
letter dated Marseilles, Sunday, July II, $50
p. NJ, says
81 omitted to mention in Yesterdays letter the
arrival of about 800 Swiss soldiers from Naples ON
the previous night, who had been or less i'm
phcated in the late military revolt. They were
brought hither board the steamers Amalf
Sorrento, Capri and Pompeii, and the sailing vessel
Letitia, escorted by the Neapotan corvette Veloce
The men were promptly landed and somewhat
alarmed the authorities by their potle-deep pota-
tlons in the liquor shops that border the quays |
There was no occasion for this apprehension, for
the Swiss behaved with the most perfect order and
prOpriety. Nevertheless, the first thing Yesterday
morning, the authorities of Marseilles sent out |
patrols OF cavalry, detachments of infantry, and
policemen into the streets in which the Swiss had |
located themselves to pick them and escort them
to the railway station. They showed ready obe- |
dience and left last nigh in two trains for LYONS
on their way to Geneva. They are remarkably
cean well made and soldierly looking men, and no |
little surprise was created among the population ON
beholdng the FeHr de Us on the bonnets of the SOL
diers. Letters received here from Italv affirm that
the revolt ot the Swiss was the result of revou-
tionary lntrigues set foot by the authors of the
movements IN Bologna, Ferrara and Peruga, as
proved by the foreign money and documents found
on the bodies of the slain and wounded Swiss Its
also stated that proclamatons 'in the name of a |
foreign Power were distributed throughout the |
provinces. If there be any truth in these state
ments, there can be no difficulty in deciding which
is the foreign Power responsible for the movement
although it may be entitled to plead that it acted
with the full knowledge, concurrence and approba-
tion of it's 'magnanimous and vaorous ally !
"It is reported that the King ofNaples has re-
fused to belong to the Italian Confederation under
the honorary presidency fthe Pope and that he is
supported in his refusal by the Representatives of
Russian policy. The evaporation of the Italians
against France is said to be on the increase Ger
very considerable it is profound and unappeasabe,
and the bitteres regrets expressed that the ad
