The king of Etruria has appointed the marquis Viviano, a friend of the count Ventura, the prime minister. Besides the loan of 100,000 scudi of the city of Florence, he has demanded another of 150,000 of the city of Leghorn.
At Leghorn, the corps of Palanders marched out, and arrested several persons who rejoiced too loud at the misfortune of the two French frigates, the Success and the Bravour. The continuation of the siege of Porto Ferrajo suffers thereby very much, and the commanders of that garrison have declared, that they will not give up the place until a formal written resignation of the archduke Ferdinand was produced to them.
