INDIA AND CHINA.

reautue

A telegraphic inessage from Calcutta, dated December
8, says— 'Jung Bahadoor is operating against the
rebels in the Teral." From Bombay we have a tele-
gram of the 27th all., declaring that the " campaign
'against the rebels in Sepia' is over. AU the rebels Bar-
ren hired efeept the Segura."

The news irom Canton is that the treaty between
China and the United States has been put in tone.
Part od the linglish troops had already left for the
oath.

THE ITALIAN QUESTION.
THE CONOREM.

The prospect of an European Congress becomes more
remote day by day. First, there is the Papal difficulty ;
then, again, the arrival of M. do Thouvenel, Count
Walewski's successor, at Paris, can scarcely be expected
for a week to conic, and it is hardly likely that he will
be able to preside over • diplomatic gathering, engaged
in discussing affairs with which he hitherto has had
nothing whatever to do without taking time to prepare
himself ; again, the departure of Prince Gortschakoff is
"postponed indefinitely," if that Minister has not re-
signed his post; and, finally, we are informed that the
Austrian Government has ordered Prince Metternich to
declare to the French Cabinet that it would decline to
enter into negotiations on any other basis than the agree-
ment of Villaranes or the Treaty of Zurich.

LORD JOHN AND THU FRZNCH CAIHNICT.
The following significant letter, dated Paris, Monday,
is comtuunicated to the English by Mr. Reuter
In the month of August but, when the Conference at
?turich threatened to be dissolved, the English Cabinet
proposed to the French Government to wine to • special
agreement between France and England for the settle-
ment of the affairs of Central Daly.
Count Walewski, in order to prevent the proposal of
Lord John Rumell being accepted, tendered his resigna-
tion, which was, however, withdrawn on the publication '
of • note in the Monitewr of the 9th of September last
in favour of the restoration of the Grand Duke of Tus-
cany.
The object of Lord Cowley's journey to London is to
minim the negotiations which had been interrupted.
The dismissal of Count Walewski was already deci-
ded upon when Lord Cowley left Paris after the recep-
tion on New Year's Day; but it is premature to assert
that his Lordship has been the bearer of certain propo-
gals as the basis of an agreement between France and
England, either in the form of a protocol or of a treaty.
There is for the present no other negotiation going on
than to resolve upon a basis which might become the
point of departure for negotiations with the other great
Powers, England having always recognised the prin-
ciple that the territorial arranaements of 1815 could
only be modified with the consent of the other great
Powers.
, A letter from Vienna tenches on this subject. It
says, " Deepatches received from Paris within the last
few days have produced a very disagreeable effect, inas-
much as they announce that a complete understanding
between France and England has been established. It
is added that the Government is now convinced that,
contrary to what was believed, neither Russia nor
Prussia will in any way defend in the Congress the in-
tegrity of the Pontifical States. It is believed here that
the Court of the Tuileries will content itself with the
independence of the Romagna, and will be disposed to
leave the rest of the Papal territory to the Pope.
The Nord mentions, but rather discredits, a rumour
that France and England liare agreed on the erection of
• Central Kingdom of Italy. in favour of the young
Duke of Genoa, nephew of King Victor E 11111 l anuel.
The Paris Government papers admit that the cession
of Savoy to France is on the tapis, but deny that there
is any Wee of ceding Sardinia Island to Great Britain,
as had also been rumoured.

The Corriere Cremonese states that several frays oc-
curred a few days back at Mantua between Ilungarian
and Austrian soldiers; also that the troops of the Duke
of Modena expected to be sent into Hungary.
The Tuscan Minister of War has decided that the
Tuscan regiments shall, instead of being numbered ac-
cording to provinces, take their numbers in continuation
of those of the Sardinian army. The regiments of the
other States of Central Italy are to continue the aeries
from the last number of the Tuscan regiment*.
There was an expectation that Garibaldi would be
recalled from inactivity, but it now appears that the
idea of naming Garibaldi as Commander of the National
Guard in Lombardy is given up. Both La Marwora and
General Dsburinida gave in their resignation in CU!
Garibaldi was named. This difficulty, might, perhaps,
have been overcome, but it seem% diplomacy mixed
itself up with the matter, if not directly at any rate
indirectly, and this turned the scale. The authorities of
Central Italy have written to the committees which
have been formed for the Garibaldi subscript' , asking
to have the produce of that subscription. The com-
mittees have refused to give up their trust, which the
subscribers intended for the disposition of Garibaldi.
