Froaence, Nov. 3, 1847. Our population here, and in the other chief towns of the Grand Duchy, has been thrown into the greatest excitement and agitation by the seizure of the town of Froizzano by the troops of the Duchy of Modena. The abdication of the Duke of Lucca, in favor of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, conferred on the Duke of Modena, un- der the articles of the treaty of Venice, » right to annex the Tuscan district of Lunigiana to his Duchy It was hoped that a calamity so great might have been averted by ® compromise, which the Grand Duke was willing to make, giving compensation both in money and territory; but these hopes have proved delusive. On the morning of the Sth instant, the city of Froizsano, situated in the province of Lunigiana, was suddenly seized by the Mo- ‘he Tuscan local authorities protested ain. When intelligence of the ie city, the people arsembled in immense Dumbers, in th: nd square, and loudly called for arms, to march to the aid of their fellow subjects of Frois: . The same fermentation teok place at Leg- horn, Pisa, Lucca, and other towns. This excitement has been somewhat allayed by the publication of a n0- lemn protestation by the Grand Duke, against the arbi- trary act of the Duke of Modent it is still hoped that something may be done to the misfortune of poor people of the Lunigiana passing trom the most enlightened and liberal ef Italian sovereigns, to tze most hopeless and unmitigated despotism of Lucca. Genoa, November 6, 1917. Genoa; the superb, has just been the theatre of one of the most magnificent ovations that has been witnessed im the Italian peninsula for the last century. The re- forms effected in the government and the administra- tion of Piedmont, by fing Charles Albert, have thrown the people into a delirium of joy. His majesty, a few days since, left Turin for this city, to pass a month here; his journey was one continued triumph—triumphal arches were erected by every village, and the Pedmon- tese people received their sovereign with hymns of gratulstion, and songs of triumph, chaunted by thou- sands of voiees; but it was on dias aeapecis to Ge- noa that thescene assumed its magnificence ; almost the entire popoulation of the town’ poured forth to meet him « thousand banners waved, bearing various patriotic inscriptions, characterizing the new era which “has on Italy Military music sounded, end the. national hymn, composed in celebration of Italian re-generation, was sung by a chorus of 50.000 voices. Among the banners, one of the most conspicuous was the celebrated standard captured from the Austrians by the Genoese, and religiously pre- served, for a hundred years, by our magaificent city; it was borne, on this occasion, by the Marquis George Doria, one of the most popular of the ancient nobility, and the most zealous partizan of reform. In the eve- ning the city was splendidly illuminated, aud a torch- light procession, composed of thi individuals, took lace, escorting the King, who mi tour of the town for three hours. Your limited space would not allow me to go into the details cf this magnificent ovation; the imaginaies of your readerssmay supply what! have omitted. You will doubtless have heard, besides the other great reforms, of the commencement of Italian unity by the establishment of a custom’s league, to which Piedmont, Tuscany and Rome are already parties, and in which it is hoped that the other States will combine. Spain. Mapaip, November 9, 1847. I take up my pen rather to fulfil my periodical duty, by showing you that I am vigilant and active, than to send you intelligence of any general interest—nothing of importanoe, in fact, has taken place here since the date of my last. There is the usual weekly amount of court and cabinet intrigue; two ministers have been dismissed and two new ones appointed—the dismissed have threa- tened General Narvaes to “peach,” and publish certain scandalous circumstances which preceded _and led to his accession to office. Their mouths have been stopped by money, rank aod honors—one, Ros de Olano, is ap- inted Ambassador to Lisbon, with «large gratification in money; aud the other, General Cordova, is appointed Senator, and has received the grand cross of Charles 3d, &e,, &c.; meanwhile, a thousend rumors are afloat, one of whioh is,that Queen Ieabelia is acting under moral coercion; that she is ontangled in the net-work of her intelgsiog mother, Queen Christine, and the unscrupu- lous Narvaez; that sne is persuaded that there is hourly @ danger of a military emeute, ko , and that her only safe- ty consiate in, #2 gevern ft “this will last no-one can sigs Switzerland. Beans, Nov. 11, 1947. Preparations for hostilities have been in most active progress gjnce the date of my last, and all Switzerland bas the aspect of acamp. Although a week has passed, however, since the resolutionJorgthe Diet to execute its decrees by armed force, was passed, no acts of hostility of any great importance have been committed on vither side. Some troops of Elri, crossing the St. Gothard, have penetrated into the territory of Tessino, where ome shots were interchanged; two officers of the in- vading party and some few men were killed, and the aflair,terminated by the retreat of, the invaders. The ohief of attack, however, will be Fribourg and Lucerne. glanoq at the map will show that Berne les about midway between the two latter citier, at about 12 leagues from each. Such a position involves a divi- sion of the main army, which has accordingly been made, one part being directed against Fribourg and the other against Lucerne. At the moment I write, several districts of the canton of Fribourg have been occupied without resistance, by the federal troops, about 30,000 of which have adopted positions ‘so as to encircle the city.of Fribourg, which will be attacked simultaneously at four points. It is probable that befora this latter is tched, intelligence of the result of this attack will arrivé. Another division of the army is stationed along the frontier of the Canton of Lucerne; what may be its movements is of course impossible to say, but the pre- vailing im yn is, that no active measures wili be taken there until after the result of the attack on Fri- bourg will be known. As there are no really efficient means of resistance in the latter place, military judges consider the immediate fall or submission of Fribourg as inevitable. When this occurs, thy chief part of the troops collected there will doubtiess be marched to re- inforoe the main body collected on the frontiers of Lu- cerne; after which an: attack will be made on the capi- tel of that Canton. Greece, Arnens, October 26, 1847, More than one collision amongst the powers that be, have taken place here, since the date of my last. You will remember that this is, or professes to be, a constitu- tional State, consisting of King, Senate and Representa- tives; but it affords one of the most striking examples of the maxim promulged by Sir James Mackintosh, that “ Governments grow, but cannot be made,” It was the wish of the five protecting powers to sow the seeds of a representative constitution in Greece; the soil, however, was not genial, and the seeds have germinated very imperfectly. The most enormous system of corruption was established, in the firat instance; and the most flagrant abuses of governmental influence were directed to subvert the rights of the electors. The result of this hes been, that the @presentative chamber is a mere mockery—a troop of puppets, the majority of which move by the strings pulled by the minister. Tho Se- nate, which emanates, it is true,from the royal will—but the members of which are, nevertheless, irremovenble— is more lors gy od and independent, and will (in extrem cases, at least) raise its volos against the abuse of ministerial'and monarohical power. We have just had an instance of this, King Otho, assisted by tbe French ambassador, drew up an address to be presented to himself in answer to the royal speech, and caused this address to be adopted by his obedient servants in the House of Representatives. The Senate, however, when it came before them for adoption, rejected it, and adopt- ed another, in whioh the disorder of the finances and the abuse of ministerial influence in the elections, were properly stigmatized. When this address was presented Ge King by the President of the Senate, his Mejesty refused to reosive it—sent a scolding message the next day to the Senate, and announced that he had nomi- nated as many new Senators as were necessery to make up & msjority sufficient to carry the adoption of the address which he and his Freneh friend had prepared This was accordingly doi and so the bumbug was performed, consisting of @ speech from the King to the sbambers, and on answer to that speech nominally lelivered ‘by the Chambers, but really written by the King bimeelf. ‘e have had, however, another and still more curious collision here. At s cabinet council held withia the last few days, the miaister of the interior obser on the ublic inconvenience of the quarrel with Turkey, and hat it was desi: to grant the satisfaction required by the Ottoman government, and thus te ‘This elicited some strong langu si from the President of the council, which was re- plied to by @ strain of abuse from the minister of the in- terior, much in the style of the “habituéses’’ of Biilings- gate, Not being able to exceed this merely by the ex: cine of his tongue, the president of the couneii flouriahe: to give it considerable “momentum,” and re punch directly between the eyes of his exoellency. je minister of the ioterior,rather astonish ed at this mode of salute, but retaining, nevertheless, his full presence of mind, his excellency of the interior seized ‘small stool,on which bis feot rested, and flung it from foot of the table, where he sat, aiming it at the head of the president of the council. Whether from agitation, or whatever other cause, the missile, not being skilfully di- rected, came into collision with tne skull of his excel- leney the minister of foreign affairs, who pat on the rightof the President, and laid that faunctionary spray ing on the floor, Matters had come to this point, when the remainder of the honorable members of the cabinet fled precipitately from the scene of action, and the usher and other inferior offi entering the room, ear- pe b the wounded, and induced the President to withdraw. After this conne. a chi of, but nothing hed been decided whem our correspou- dent closed his despatches. 0 in the cabinet was talked | Miccell aneous: The steamship Britannia, Captain Harrison, from Li- erpool 19th December, arrived at East Boston on Wednesday, at about half past five.
