THE DAY'S NEWS.

In a very full house last night, numbering within a
unit 500 members, Mr. Gladstone brought forward his
motion for redticing the customs duty on French paper
to the amount of excise paid by the home manufacturer.
A very spirited debate ensued, when, on a division, the
Government proposition was carried by a comparatively
small majority, the numbers being—

The last difficulties in the way of the French expedi-
tion to Syria' have at length been removed, and on
Saturday the TUrkish Ambassador signed all the neces
sary protocols? According to the latest telegrams, a
portion of the expedition has already sailed, and the
remainder of the force will proceed to-day. There it
little doubt that the terhis of the convention ate such as
materiallytart.strict- the action of the trench troops#
and amongst other conditions it is stated that their stay
-isto be limited to six months. We shall see.
The successful landing of a portion of Garibaldi's
forces is confirmed ; and judged by the light of the
latest telegrams, Garibaldi himself is not unlikely at
this moment to be engaged in a triumphal march upon
Naples. On the Ist he was at the head of 20,000
fighting men assembled at Messina and in its neigh-
bourhood. He had erected a fort at the point of Sicily
nearest Calabria, and under its protection had collected
a flotilla of nearly 1,000 boats, which, under a convoy
of steamers, was ready to waft his axiiiy across the
straits. The Neapolitan army, from numerous sytnp-
toms, are expected to make common cause with the
patriots the moment of their landing. Signals are
agreed on for telegraphing over Calabria and the Basi-
licate the pressure .of continental soil by the first step of
the, landing Liberator, and beacons Will blaze on every
peak of the lower Apennines. '

With respect to the affairs of Germany and Italy, the
_Dusseldorf Gazette makes some extraordinary statements.
Most of the Journals, i; says, only indulge in conjecture
as to the interview at Tceplitz. We are able to assert
that not only were several protocols signed, but also
positive conventions on divers points. With respect to
Italian affairs, the questions of Venice, Naples, the
Pontifical States, and the general situation were dis-
cussed.. Prussia declined making any engagement
whatever relating to Venice. As to Naples and the
Pontifical States, Prussia declared that she regretted their
present situation, and did not conceal her opinion that
the Cabinet of Vienna might have preventid the catas-
trophe ; but, she added, that so long as other States did
not intervene, Germany could not, as it would only lead
to other intervention, and would. not save the thrones.
It was agreed, as to the general situation of Italy, that
a republican movement could not be tolerated, and that
it was advisable to discourage any tendency towards a
cession of territory to France, and to withdraw Italy
as much as possible from French influence. With this
view_Prussia recommended Austria to take a less hostile
attitude towards Sardinia.

Yesterday, her Majesty and the Court set out for
Scotland. At ten o'clock they crossed over to Ports-
'mouth in the royal steam-yacht Fairy, and travelled by
special train 'to the Nine Elms Station, whence they
were conveyed by carriages to Buckingham Palace. In
the evenihg, at half-past eight o'clock, her Majesty pro-
ceeded to the Great Northern Railway, King's Cross, en
route to Balmoral. They would reach Edinburgh about
eight o'clock this morning, and, after a brief rest, would
review the Volunteers, proceeding the following morning
from Holyrood to her Highland residence.
An experiment at lighting the streets of Paris has
just been tried on the Place de l'Hotel de 'Ville, which
is said to be more effectual and economical than any yet
essayed in any of the capitals of Europe. At each cor-
ner of the street, where its name is affixed, is to be
placed an electric burner, of sufficient brightness to illu-
minate the whole length of the street. The only incon-
venience attendant on the experiment was found 'to be
fle over brightness of the glare, which is painful to the
