lIONESTE AUDA X.

THE Times of Monday announced that the Em-
peror of the French has directed M. 13illault,
Minister of the Interior, to send to the Prefect
of each department a con fidentai circular, express-
ing regret at the exaggerated language of the
French Press with regard to England; and call-
ing attention to the fact that such language,
being found in jounials which usually support
the Imperial Government, tends to identify that
Govennuent with attacks upon an allied and
friendly Power. The Minister therfore expresses
his opinion that it is desirable for the dignity of
the Imperial policy and the maintenance of peace
that the Prefects should use their influence with
the journals to put an end to the practice. Lord
Cowley left Pan* on Monday for London, and it
is stated, on what is said to be reliable authority,
that the object of his lordship's visit is to lay
before the British Government a proposal from
the French Government for a simultaneous dis-
armament by England and France.
The Emperor of the French has withdrawn
his opposition to the nomination of the Cheva-
lier Buoncouipagni to the Regency of Central
Italy ; and Baron Ricasoli, President of the
National Assembly of Tuscany, who had sent a
deputation to Turin to protest against the ap-
pointment, has now accepted the nomination.
This result has been produced by the explana-
tions given by the Governmeut of Sardinia,
which has assured the French Cabinet that the
maintenance of public order was the sole object
and aim of the delegation to 111. Buoncompagni,
that the concentration in his hands of the Go-
vernments of Central Italy had in no manner the
character of a virtual Regency ; and that it was
intended to reserve for the Congress the defini-
tive settlement of the Italian peninsula. General
Garibaldi has issued a proclamation, stating that
he has retired for the present (ruin the military
service in consequence of the "miserable tortu-
ous policy" which for the moment disturbs the
"majestic march of their affairs ;" but will be
ready to resume his command whenever King
Victor Emmanuel shall again call his soldiers to
anus for the redemption of the country.

The ratification of the Treaties of Peace were
exchanged at Zurich on Monday by the Plenipo-
tentiaries of France, Austria, and Sardinia, and
the Marquis de Baum:villa has since arrived in
Paris with the ratified treaties. On the same
day M. Armand, the Secretary to the French
Legation, delivered to the Austrian Plenipoten-
tiary a draft at sight for two millions sterling, as
the first instalment of the ten millions to be paid
to Austria for the surrender of Lombardy ; the
remaining eight millions being made payable in
four instalments at short intervals.

The first division of the Spanish expedition
against Morocco landed last week at Ceuta and
proceeded to entrench itself. The Moors hal
already attacked both Melilla and Ceuta, but no
engagement of any importance has yet taken
place. The French campaign against Morocco
has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion,
after having lasted only twenty days. and with-
out having passed the limits of Algeria. Its
object has been limited to the chastisement of
the frontier tribes, which have accepted the
French conditions and given hostages for their
observance.

The Bombay and China mails have arrived
with news from Bombay to the 26th, and from
long-Kong to the 13th October. The Lahore
papers announced that Nana Sahib died on the
2nd October in the Dhang valley on the Nepaul
frontier; but there is reason to suspect that the
account of his death has been circulated by him.
self in the hope of preventing the winter cam-
paign which had been determined on with the
view of driving him out of Nepaill. The Chinese
Government has repudiated its treaty with the
United States, by refusing to open the ports of
Swartow and Taiwan, as Ntipalated by that
treaty.
