" Altogether, what with wind, hail, and rain, it was not an
encouraging cruise, especially as fresh provisions were out,
even to the vegetables, and there was nothing to eat but the

Is safely landed on his native shore ;
Though hail and rain and constant eastern gales
Have rendered tediolis his passage o'er.

Day after day, and chiefly under sail ;

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Some very surprising, if not unexpected, intelligence
has been received from China; in anticipation of the
Calcutta And China Mails, which arrived at Marseilles
yesterday. The Times' correspondent, Mr. Bailby, Lord
Elgin's secretary, Mr. Loch, Mr. Parkes, Vessrs. de
Norman and Anderson, of Fane's Horse, and Captain
Brabazon, who had left the allied lines for the purpose
of selecting camping ground, Were captured bY the
Chinese el. Tartar Horse, and taken to Pekin, where, it
is said, they are well treated. Two other engagements
have likewise been fought since the date of the last
despatches,—one on the 18th, and another on the 21st
of last month, between the allied troops and the
Tartar Cavalry, which advanced to the attack in
immense numbers, 30,000, but were repulsed with ease,
and with terrible slaughter, by the allies,:Jfho had only
18 of their number wounded. A brother of the Nm-
peror has condescended to act as chief commissioner,
with a view to the conclusion of peace; but Lord ]Agin
most properly stipulated, as a preliminary to 'entering
upon the negotiations, that the prisoners above named
should be released. Tea to the value of £250,000 was
taken at Chang Kia Wan. All was quiet at Shanghai.
There seems at length a reasonable prospect of a
highly satisfactory result to the operations of the
_ expe-
dition:
From Paris we have several interesting lieu

which M. Billault has used the powers entrusted to
him without stint or mercy. A report is current in
military circles in Paris that a decree will shortly appear
ordering the formation of fourth battalions in all the
regiments of the line. This will indeed be a very large

We have no news of the progress of the siege of
Gaeta, and merely a repetition of the rumour of the
serious illness of Francis 11. The telegraph informs
us, however, that at the request of the. King the whole
of the members of the Diplomatic Corps who remained
at Gaeta have quitted that place and arrived in Rome.
The statement that disturbances in the Neapolitan pro-
vinces had been repressed by force is contradicted.
