A Florence correspondent notes the growing chance the Dukes of Tuscany and Modena will not regain their thrones. Restoration seems impossible without force, which is unlikely given powerful opponents and mercenaries. Austria’s warning on Venetia is seen as coercive, not humane. The Pope is reportedly ill and unable to attend to public affairs.
