Leghorn [Livorno]. - Asks Milnes to again press the claim of Alexander Macbean for the Consulship at Leghorn; his supporters include Col. Verner and Messrs Colquhoun and Mageachy; the present Consul here died this morning; Macbean has built a fine church here and defended it from 'the nasty incursions of the selfish Presbyterians'; the Free Church threatens to send a Minister and Consul opposed to the Anglican cause.
