matte relations with The Grand Dncas Government,
and Minister i actually accredited TO the I, urt OF
Florence. Thst Government has been oScrthrown by

foreign asercy: the Sovereign and his family have
been obliged 10 qa. the country, and an anomalous
double Government has been established, the eva ad

Acknowledges that the present state OF things Is only
an iuiereguum and peither the French Emperor, tor
The King Of Sardinia nor the new Tuscan authorities
have as vet yeuturod to say that the reign OF the eg
innate ruler has terminated. II was consequently the
bounden duty of our government to do nothing which
coud BE- hereafter construed into recognition OF such

was thought necessary the Conqueror was dispatched
to protect or receive on board British subjects without
IN any way interfering in Tuscan affairs. To salute
the flag Of Administration ooniessedly temporary,
formed against the will si the Sovereign To whom our
Minister j. accredited, and fjr the purpose OF making
war on a State with which we at peace, would
be an overt act which might embarraSs our f1-

and the existing outhores the naIion Deips ID pro-

This new soyereign formally notified his accession to
the British Government and he was recognized oy
Lord Aberdeen without an hours delay. So IN 1913
Iouis Philippe abdica,ed, and after period OF an.

mesiioned in Europe. Lord Normandy was then ac-
credited 10 the new rulers tn the regular way. Bat the
nYesent ia a very different case The British Govern
ment has received no ntimaon that the Grand Duke
has ceased to reign that the Duchy has been Moor
porated with Piedmont or thpt Kingdom OF Italy has
come into existerce Until competent Tuscan authorl-
lies notify these facts to the Court of St. James, they
cannot expect to recognize any Government but hat
