11“NESTE Al/PAX.

THE safe arrival of the PRI Nri: or WA LE,, after
a protracted voyage of nearly 27 days from the
United States, has relieved the country from a
feeling of anxiety which was beginning to be
widely spread, and has been hailed in all parts
of the Ir.:inpire with the liveliest satisfaction.
His Royal Highness landed at Plymouth on
Thursday morning quite well, and arrived at
Windsor Castle at an early hour in the evening.
The Empress of the French arrived in LOllllOll
W. ednebtlay evening on her way to Scotland,
travelling her an assume,' name as a private
lady, and I,l:servialg the strictest incognito. It
is lalltha'St 0.4 that the health of Iler Majesty
has sustained such a shock from the recent death
of her siaer, that a complete change of air and
scene has Lecome necessary for her recovery.
The stay of the Empress in Seothuul will extend
over some weeks, during which her 31ajesty will
he the gne4 of the Iniehess of Hamilton, at
Hamilton Palace. Lanarkshire.

Despatches fi ni Ilimg Kong of the 28th Sep-

hail not I.e ii brought to a satisfactory settle-
ment, ov. Mg Li the duplicity of the Chinese
Conitai:sioners, who, after several days' trilling
and &lay, ileclawl that they bad no power to
sign the treaty. the terms of which hail been
agreed upon. Tile ahl il trolis consequently
commenced their march on Pekin, where Sang-
ko-letosin was reported to be present with a large
force. Lord Elgin followed the troops on the
tith of September, and the following day the
army rescind Yang-tsuitoyeli, distant only a few
miles from the capital. Peh-tang, and all the
adjacent villages, had been evacuated by the
aides, who held only the fortified places.
Acconnts from Naples inform us that on the
Bth inst., the day after King Victor Emmanuel
made his entry into Naples, Garibaldi, accom-
panied by the Ministry, formally presented to
his Majesty the result of the plebiscite. The
Minister, Signor Conforti, in his address to the
Kini,s, said that the Neapolitan people, assem-
bled in their electoral comitio, had proclaimed
him King by an immense majority, 9,080,000 of
Italians having united themselves to the other
provinces which his Majesty governed with so
much wisdom, verifying his solemn promise that
Italy should belong to the Italians. The King
replied in a few expressive words. The deed of
annexation vats then drawn up, the Dictatorship
ceased, and the Ministry resigned. On the fol-
lowM ; day Garibaldi retired from public life
uha ka Naples for the island of Caprcra, over-
whelmed with the most striking demonstrations
of sympathy from the King, the stall, the
officers. and the army iu general. In a farewell
iroclamation to liii companions in arms he told
them to be re•ely to follow him n again, as it is
likely that a fresh conflict will break out in
Italy ill March twit, when a million of tuen and
arms will be wanted. A despatch from Gaeta
states that Francis 11. has rejected the proposal
to evacuate the town, and is determined to bold
out to the last t stremity. General liosisi has
taken the comuuuumind of the troops in the fortress,
who number less than 10,000 men, and the Sar-
diniwns are actively carrying on the skip
works.

Count de Persigny, the French Ambassador,
delivered a speech on the English alliance at the
Lord Mayor's dinner on Friday evening, in
which he slid that the French Goveniment
wished nothing but to live in friendship with our
own ; that France and England have not only
many ciutsulon nterests, but have no hostile
interest ; and that having everything to low
and nothing to gain by sic w contests, the two
nation, can mutually derive as many benefits
from peace as they could inflict injuries On
theinselvi. sby war. Ile attributed the inquietude.
eitspiciam. mid mistrust which arise from time to
time each side of the Ch: 1, to the
difficulty of effacing the rivalries and struggles of
senturies ; and he concluded by expressing his
conviction that the great economical revolution
which the Emperiir has just accomplished in
France by the treaty commerce, will " con-
found the accusations" 4' which France has beets
the object, and " will further cement peace
bt.tween the two countries."
