According to the positive declaration of the Govern. ment of Neuchatel the latter is not aware that the King of Prussia has any private property in the canton of Neuchatel. %upposing, however, that such were the case, that property should be respected the same as any other private prop erty. As regards the domains, dues, and revenues which the King possessed in hie quality of sovereign of the coun try, they could not collie under the head of private pro perty. In case of an 4reement, to prevent all misun derstanding, it will be necessary to specify what private property belonged to the r ing. 2. The Government of N 'tychafel recognises the reli gious and charitable foundations, particularly those of Pourtales, Meuron, Pury, and others, established by private gifts. These establishments , and others analo gous to them, shall be religiously respected. Upon this point the Government of Neuchatel a grees w i t h t h e Federal Council, and both are dispos e d t , give the King of Prussia the most satisfactory assurancesab out i t. I n order, however, to place the emancipati o n of N euc h ate l beyond all fort ign influence a guarantee upon this point must originate exclusively with the Confederation. It was added, lastly, that in order to prevent a ny mis. tate the religious and charitable foundations to b e eo ,_ prised within this guarantee should be distinctly sp e d. fled. These propositions of mediation, dictated by a eeuti. reent of friendship towards Switzerland, did not, h . owl ever, lead to any result ; the English Government itself having subsequently considered that it would be better not to open them to the court of Berlin, seeing that re fusal to enter into any negotiations—which was to be expected—could not but be injurious to Switzerland. In the hope that France and England might he more easily induced to propound a collective proposition, we on our side did not think it any longer incumbent upon us to insist on the communication of the above proposi. tions to Prussia through the medium of England, and our opinion was strengthened by the fact that the affair had entered into a new phase. Hia Mijesty the Emperor of the French had, under date of October 24, addressed himself directly to General Dufour with the friendly intention of calling his atten tion to the serious situation in which Switzerland was placed. The Emperor at the same time invited the General to assist him in smoothing the difficulties and removing the dangers with which Switzerland was .hreatened, adding that the King of Prussia did not recognise Switzerland's alleged r i g ht t o c h ange , w ith ou t his consent, toe constitution of Neuchatel, and believed that bis honour was concerned in sustaining those who had desired to re-establish the old order of things. The idea of seeing his partians s u bj ecte d to trial was revolt. ing to him to such a degree that h e was f u lly reso l ve d on upholding his right by arms, and on applying to the Germanic Diet in order to obtain a passage fur is troops. The Emperor declared himself disposed to prevent Prussia from sending troops, and engaged to arrange the Neuchatel affair in a manlier satisfactory toSwitzer- You have learned, Mr. President and gentlemen, from the public papers the reception—so friendly with regard to Sad zerland its envoy extraerdinary—which has been elven t. Geeerai Dufour on the part of his M.,jesty the Euperor of the French. In the private interviews bet e eee them our delegate succeeded in his efforts to set aside certain points which had threatened a conider able c.neplicatiuu of the difficulties. In conferences with the 'ministers of France and Eng land, it was provisionally understood that France and England s enid require, witlemit precisely guaranteeing it, teat the liberation of Neuchatel from every foreign claim should be considered as the equivalent of an am nesty previously granted, and that a renunciation on the part of Prussia might accordingly be considered as toler ably certain. Nevertheless, the English cabinet, from motives that will hereafter be explained, did not deem it right to ac cede to these collective measures against Switzerland, and it appeared at the time that the plan discussed at the Conferences could not be realised, or at least not such as it had been understood at the beginning by our en. voy ; but if once the negotiations should have reached that point, we thought we should be able, without lowering the dignity of Switzerland, to advance another step in the path of conciliation. You remember, Mr. President and gentlemen, that in the instructions pre sented to our envoy extraordinary, it was stated, that if the guarantee required, as mentioned in our communi cations to the English and French cabinets, could not be obtained, assurances and guarantees of corresponding value would be accepted. Moved by this consideratior, we authorised our envoy to enter into negotiations on this third kind of assur ances, baying a corresponding value. On this subject * we shall observe that we were bound to place a high value on the fact of the two powers (England and France) acting in concert, and on the fact that the assurance required would not emanate from one of those two powers alone. It was not necessary, in our opinion, that their note itself should require or recom mend the amnesty, but it should fully acknowledge the right of a free determination on the part of Switzerland, by declaring, for insta ce, that if the Confederation liberated the prisoners, England and France would un dertake to use their efforts for obtaining a renunciation on the part of the King of Prussia. The mere assurance of good offices given in a vague manner could not satisfy us. It was necessary- at the least to express that France and England would engage to b r i ng a b out suc h a transact i on as s h ou ld no t i mpose on Switz er l an d con d i ti ons i n compatible with her honour and dignity, an d th a t if P r us s i a did not consent to such an arra nge m en t, England and France would declare that they believed themselves to be no longer bound by the London protocol, and that they were unwilling to per mit that Prussia should make an attack against Swit zerland upon the ground of her claims on Neuchatel, or generally to P , rmit that she should take hostile measures against the C o nfederation. We drew up the i ns t ruct i ons w i t hi n t h ese li m i ts, l eave ing, however, to otr envoy the power of choosing or adopting ether forms. If we communicate to you all these details, it is especially with the view of proving to to you that we did not wish to exclude ourselves from the path of conciliation by over-scrupulcus difficulties, but that, on the contrary, we were ready to make every concession consistent with our du ies towards the Swiss ration and its representatives. We declared solemnly at that period, that is to say, on the 17th of November, that we were ready to assist in effecting any arrange ment calculated to attain our object—th e recogn i t i on o f the independence of Neuchatel—t l ie instant we could do so in a form and manner that would compromise in no respect the dignity and honour of Switzerland. Our envoy extraordinary united his efforts to those of our resident minister at Paris for the purpose of obtain ing a unity of views on the main question between Fra nce and England. It did not appear probable that this ob ject could be attained, since gn g iazill disagreed with CEEDITON.—MILDNESS OF THE CLIMITE OF DEVON MM.-Up to the last days of November roses of various hues were in full bloom in many gardens in this town and neighbourhood ; and on Saturday, the 20th inst., a person of this place caught a butterfly of the tortoiseshell genus, which is still alive. On the same day a white butterfly was seen, strong on the wing, at Chittlehamholt, twenty miles further north. c.i Dividend Names of F/, Dividend Names of .. Price. . J... per price. Companies.

PEEL.—PeeI requested that the principal offices in the Royal household might be placed at his disposal. It was not, as it would appear, with Sir Robert, but with the Duke of Wellington himself, that the idea of making this requestitwas first otheriginated Whigs her, an exorbitant pretension, utterly unauthorised by precedent. It was added that the great ladies of the Conservative party had spoken of it as of a triumph over the Queen, and bad said that when they composed her Court they would be better able to restrain her within constitutional limits than the Whigs had been. Im pertinence is sometime s a useful wea p on, but more frequently it is a dangerous pleasure. On the day after Sir Robert had made his demand, he received from the Queen the following note :—" The Queen having considered the proposal made to her yes terday by Sir Robert Peel to remove the ladies of her bed-chamber, cannot consent to adopt a course which she conceives to be contrary to usage, and which is repugnant to her feelings." Sir Robert replied in a long and respectful letter, sensible and constitutionally true, but rather heavy and as devoid of elegance as of complaisance. He was evidently better suited to a Plr• liament than to a Court. The negotiation was b ro k en off, and furnish e d a subject of debate in b oth houses. The Conservatives, Wellington and Peel, maintained their ground ; the Whigs vindicated the Queen'srefusal, and declared themselves ready to accept the responsibi , lity of it. They at once returned to office, and Sir R. Peel, on his side, resumed, for two yea posi tion as the ruling spirit of the Op • • years more, his position.—Or t iz o t' s Me moirs of Sir Robert Peel.

They worship white elephants, which are found in large num bers in the forests of the south. One of these animals, which Is considered the representative of Bhndha on earth, posseses a very handsome temple and palace at Bangkok. The . French sailors in the vessels which ac companied M. de Montigny have been admitted, as a special favour, to visit this mysterious dwelling, and were accompanied by the chief of the priests. The animal almost appears to understand the sacred character which has been conferred on him by the ignorance of the population, and he is of extraordinary gravity and dignity. Above his knees are large golden rings encrusted with precious stones, and his head is ornamented with a magnificent dia detn of pearls and diamonds of price. Every morning at daybreak he appears on the threshold of his temple, and gives the sign of prayer by raising to the sky his trunk, which is covered with gilding. So true is his instinct that he never misses this ceremony. Although the Siamese people are of a gentle character, they at times carry their fanaticism to cruelty. In the summer of 1853 the sacred elephant died, and this event being attributed by popular rumour to want of attention 011 the pert of the high priest, the life of the latter was demanded by the enr.sged populace, and with great difficulty .pre served."
