Tuscany. Prince Napoleon Arrived At Legh...
TUSCANY . Prince Napoleon arrived at Leghorn on Monday , and was received with acclam ' ationSi The next day he ... addressed the following proclamation to . the Tuscan people : — . ' The Emperor sends me to assist you in the war against your enemies , the oppressors of Italy . My mission is exclusively of a military nature . I shall not occupy myself with your internal organisation . The sole ambition of Napoleon III . is to liberate Italy , to enable her to make for herself a free Constitution , and thus to strengthen the balance of power in Europe . " The Patrie denies the statement that France , in order to insure the safety of Tuscan commerce , has taken under her protection the maritime flag of Tuscany . The plan of the campaign about to be undertaken by Prince Napoleon is said to be to march through the Duchy of Modena , and thence either to Venice or to Milan , -where he will meet the Emperor Napoleon . It is alleged that the invasion of Modena . cannot be considered as a violation of neutrality , inasmuch as the Duke of Modena has protested against the entrance of the French into Italy .
Naples. King Fjsrimnand Expired On Sunda...
NAPLES . King Fjsrimnand expired on Sunday last at halfpast one in the afternoon . The Duke of Calabria ascended the throne as Francis II ., without any open opposition . The proclamation published at Naples of the ascending of the throne by Francis II . is countersigned by Sigrior Carafe , the leading minister of his father ' sadininistration . Intrigues of the young King ' s stepmother for supplanting him by her own offspring have , repeatedly been talked of , with what amount of truth must now become , soon apparent . The latest news from the kingdom does not , however , lead us to expect any disturbance will take place , favourable as the opportunity seems to bei when the whole of Italy is subjected to excitement ¦ A . late telegram [ says , that during the last agony of the King , troops were encamped round Caserta . Troops were also assembled at Naples . Francis II . caused several persons to be arrested , charged with being opposed to his ascending the throne . The new levy of soldiers have met with great difficulties . Many of the conscripts have fled to the mountains . The correspondent of a contemporary says— " A demonstration had been prepared in the capital in favour of the Count of Trani , but was discovered and put a stop to . Many persons are said to . have been compromised , and among others the police agents , Campagha , Merenda , and Mazza , the latter of whom had been made a Councillor of State . Merenda has been arrested and sent off to the citadel of Messina , arid orders for the arrest of many others have been sent out . It is whispered that even Muxena , the Minister of Finance , is suspected . A . rumour in Paris says , perhaps prematurely , that France and England have already resumed diplomatic relations with Naples . It is also said that the neutrality of Naples has been recognised by France .
Spain. Tub Spanish Government Has Withdr...
SPAIN . Tub Spanish Government has withdrawn its permission for holding a meeting to raise subscriptions for the Italians anxious to return to , their own country ; such a course being , of an aggressive character against Austria . General Prirao de Rivera has received orders to join the head-quarters of the Emperor of the French in Italy , as agent of the Spanish Government . Spanish officers are to be sent to the Austrian army . The Prince of Wales has been respectfully received at Grenada . It is asserted that the Queen of Spain is again pregnant . . r ~*> - —
Rome. According To A Letter From Rome Of...
ROME . According to a letter from Rome of the 21 st , it would appear that attempts had been made to rouse the Swiss troops to revolt ,. and with this view inflammatory proclamations had been distributed throughout the Swiss quarters . A piece of news given by the French journals ns one of the highest importance is , that negotiations are now going on between the Court of the Tuileries and the Holy See , with , a view to the canonisation of Joan of Arc , who , it seems , has never yet been made a saint . . Several anecdotes have gone the- round of the journals ¦ which * may Illustrate the usfcal capricious and arbitrary mode of acting adopted by the police , and the spirit of resistance which is now being maae to It . Thd knell of priestly domination has tolled in Southern Italy ,
Turkey. The Emperor Of Russia Is Said To...
TURKEY . The Emperor of Russia is said to have written an autograph letter to the Sultan filled with professions of friendship , and assuring him that the plans of aggression attributed to the Czar towards the Ottoman Empire are illusory , . . The Porte ha 9 promised to recognise Prince Couza . The Sclave population on the coast of the Adriatic begin to show hostile feelings towards Austria . Three Turkish war steamers have been despatched to the Adriatic . We learn from Constantinople papers that the Turkish Government is still continuing its armaments . Notwithstanding all these military preparations , the Porte declares its intention to preserve strict neutrality in the present war . Mehemet Ali , the brother of the Viceroy of Egypt , is now at Stockholm . From that capital he will return to Berlin , intending to proceed afterwards to Portugal and Spain by way of France . The purpose of the Egyptian Prince is said to be to gain the sympathy of the different Cabinets for the preservation of Turkey and Egypt against the menacing encroachments of France and Russia . The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at Beyrout , on the 9 th inst ., with six ships . .
The Principalities. A Letter From Buchar...
THE PRINCIPALITIES . A letter from Bucharest of the 15 th states that the Austrian consul-general had re-established diplomatic relations with the Wallachian Government , which he had interrupted on the election of Prince Couza .
America. The Africa Has Arrived With New...
AMERICA . The Africa has arrived with New York advices to the 11 th inst ., but there is no news of importance . The State and W ar Departments at Washington had made up their instructions for the officials in Utah in regard to the new difficulty which has arisen there . General Johnston is instructed to hereafter await the orders of the Governor before calling out the troops to act as a posse comitatus to assist the civil , authorities in enforcing the laws . A fire at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania , had destroyed no less than ten steamers . The loss is estimated at 155 , 000 dollars . The Black River Woollen Mills , at Watertown , New York , had also been destroyed by fire , involving a loss of 40 , 000 dollars . The news from San Francisco is to the 20 th ultimo , and there are later advices from Oregon and the Fraser River Gold regions . The steamer which left San Francisco on the 20 th had on board 1 , 700 , 000 dols . in treasure . The accounts from the . mines were favourable , and business was improving . The Californian' Legislature had passed the bill forming the six lower counties of the State into a new territory to be called Colorado , and sent it to the Governor for approval . 100 , 000 dols . in gold had reached San Francisco from Victoria . The news from the Upper Fraser was said to be encouraging , but the lower country was nnarly deserted . The failure of Mr . Jacob Little , a large stockbroker in New York , has created no little excitement . This failure is said to be one of the heaviest ever known , being millions of dollars . His interests were mostly in Missouri , Ohio , and State bonds generally . A great fire has occurred at Qshkos , Wisconsin ; the business portion of the town was entirely destroyed , involving a loss , of nearly half a million dollars . r ~
West Indies. Oyoa. The Gaceta Official O...
WEST INDIES . oyoA . The Gaceta Official of Havannah contains some documents relative to the late attempt at Filibustering in Cuba . The Captain-General had received a letter from the Spanish Consul-General in Hayti , informing him that the American bark , African , Captain Britton , arrived here on the 12 th from New York , with 250 muskets , bayonets , and ammunition , belonging to 85 persons who were on board . The Haytian Government seized the arms . These 35 persons paid § 1 , 000 to be landed opposite Nueyas Grandes , but the bad weather rendering that impossible , they were taken to Port-au-Prince , where they now are in complete destitution , no vessel being willing to take them on board , and the United States Consul declining to take them under his protection , because they have nothing to prove that they are citizens of the United States , HAYTI . We have news from Port-au-Prince of the 15 th of April . The island continued quiet under tho new government , with the exception of a few dissatisfied old placeholders pf the formes government . The populace in general are unanimous in their appreciation of President Geffrard , who makes himself very popular among all classes . Freedom of speech is now tolerated : besides ,
many of the soldiers are discharged from the reeular army and entered in the National Guard The Government are using all their powers to do away with the old tax of the coffee fifth ; but m > to the present , on account of the very low state of the treasury , they were unable so to do . The Government are anxious that emigration from the coloured part oif the American population should take place ; they will be gladly welcomed to their shores . It is possible that after a while St . Domingo may once more be in a commercial relation with this part of the island ; if so , it will be a great mutual benefit .

New Zealand. We Have Received Files Of A...
NEW ZEALAND . We have received files of Auckland papers to Feb . 19 . The supposition of Dr . Hochstetter ( the geologist to the Australian Scientific Expedition ) , that the coal recently found at Drury , near Auckland , was part of a large basin extending over a considerable portion of the province of Auckland , had been proved by coal being found at Wangaproa and Point Rodney , to the north of Auckland . Specimens of such coal had been submitted to Dr . Hochstetter , and by him pronounced to be of the same description as the Drury coal . Great complaints were still being made about the steam postal service , the arrival of the mails being very irregular . The weather at Auckland had been very fine and dry for the season . Business was good , and the intercolonial trade was largely on the increase .

FRANCE . Paris , Thursday , 6 i p . m . T 3 IE PENALTIES OF THE WAR . Although the first blow lias only just been struck , the dangers of the contest are becoming fast apparent and the desire for peace grows stronger every day . The greatest damper to military ardour is taxation , and the certainty pf the . . maintenance for yciuv , to come of the war decime—10 per cent , addition to all taxes—as well as the prospect of the imposition of further taxes , perhaps , before many months have elapsed , make men inclined to turn back from that " sacred way " which if it be peopled with the names of victories , has at . every stage a Golgotha , and leads to a fool ' s paradise . There may be discerned even now a spirit of restlessness and a vague sense of apprehension . People are now disposed to admit that the Austnans ^ fight better ^ than it was expected they would . They did not bargain for stubborn contests , but for easy victories Finding their mistake , they would fain cry «' Hod off ; I did not think you were so strong . ihe official bulletins that have been issued of the combat at Montebello have been so clumsily ? ' 0 ™ ea , " * ° contradictor / , that they are ^ o"y dl 8 be . ^ ed , andit is expected that the victory will change into » drawn battle .

Next the Austvfans grow to 15 , 000 and 18 , OOC ? men .
