THE IMPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1859.

lwao 4 metres broad, with 6 feet depth of water.
It was attempted, however, others and men=
with each other in daring, but very few only
the foot of the work/. The men were exhausted, their
arms and ammunition wetted and unserviceable, mad
the ladders which bed boon landed broken by the
bells. They were obliged to resolve on effecting a
retreat by telft advantage of the night, and ea the
enemy dui net are come out of his entrenchments,
the retreat was effected without much loos.
bach is the account of the chief incidents of this
&matron' but heroic day. Looking at the small
number of Frenchmen engapd, our loss has been
g
sensible. Daring the laa we had four men
killed and ten wounded, amongst whom were one
officer and the commander, Tricault, who was con-
stantly to be found in the hottest of the fight.
The losses of the English are very considerable ;
they are said to amount to 432 men killed of
wounded. The admiral was compelled to abandon
two gunboats and the Cormorant.
The energetic and skilfully directed resistance we
have met with on this fatal day of the 23th is owing
to the discipline and energy of the Maori troops,
far superior to the Chinese troops whom we had
encountered hitherto, but we should have given an
account of them if the difficulties of the ground had
not prevented us from aiming to close quarters. At
all event/, we have our revenge to take, and it mad
be signal.—(Private letter.)

The following is an extract from a private ham
Gorr Shanghai:

" I have • gentleman living with me who is only
six weeks from Pekin, he having gone there in dis-
guise as a Russian from St. Petersburg, but the
second day after he entered Pekin the Chinese
tater/Tian found out he was not ; he wu ordered to
go back immediately. His stay in Pekin wu only
am weeks, and he earns back through Siberia to
the River Amcor, from thence in a Russian men-of-
war to Japan, and finally here. He states that the
Russian embassy had not yet arrived at Pekin, and
that they would find great difficulty in settle
there; they would be treated like prisoners, watched
by a large cumber of polio*. He states there are
100,000 men all about Pekin living in tents, and
that the soldiers of Tien-Teing are Tartar troops
from the Amoor, commanded by a Tartar general of
great skill. He states there le no foreigner with
them. He states that he saw English-made guns
sad revolvers in the shops at Pekin. It is reported
that the Americans are gone to Pekin by • round-
about road, which the mandarins wished them to go
by; bat this gentleman states that he doubts much
it they will ever be permitted to get into Path,"

TURIN, 81n. 12.

When I read yesterday in the Nossite; itself the,
article that has created so groat a sensation, I found
the example of Luxembourg, to which I alluded in
my last, specifically instanced by the writer. You
see the information I sent you on this point WIA quite
correct, and I beg you to regard as equally worthy
of credit the other circumstances I mentioned, but
which are not touched upon by the ifouiteur. No-
vertheless, it will not hare escaped year notice that
this quasi-official article has not the absolute im-
portance: which it might claim if It were placed in
the official department of the paper.

To-day I have it in my power to send you some.
what interesting news from Central Italy. In the
town of laceli, near the Trento, and just at the fron-
tier line between the States of the Church and
Naples, there has been a regular insurrection. Sixty
Swiss were stationed there, and those who escaped
slaughter have been compelled to fly. It would seem
that the whole province has risen, and the Marches
are disposed to aid the movement. But even should
they not de so, one thing is certain, great excite-
ment prevails both in the Marches and is Umbria.

I most not, however, conceal from you the suspicion
of many here, that the insurrectionary movement at
Asooli is, if not actually provoked, at all events con-
nived at by Rome, with a view to induce the King
of Naples to interfere by force. Letters of the 6th
instant, received front those parte, speak of a mili-
tary cordon now forming by the Neapolitan go.
vernment in the direction of the Abruzzi.

Some time ego the papers stated, that the Prinee
of Serra Capriole, President of the Royal Council,
had been sent to Rome with the excuses of the
Court of Naples to the Pope for not being able to
send the aid which the Pontiff had solicited. It
seemed strange that one of the highest personages of
the state should hare been sent to announce a plain
refusal. The real fact of the matter was, that Serra
Capriole went to Rome to offer the aid of Neapolitan
troops se soon es ever the French occupation
should cease. The Pope was much gratified by the
offer, but did not accept it, on account of a similar offer
from Spain, which I believe I mentioned to you in
one of my recent letters, and this explains the sud-
den readiness of Rome to acquiesce in the aliens.
tion of certain church lands in Spain. Bat in
some quarters it is apprehended, now that the
" most holy " sanction has been obtained, that the
Spanish government will find, or invent difficulties
sufficient to enable it to evade the obligation.
As to the Interview between the Pope and the
Duke of Gratamont on the subject of the ulti-
matum which the latter brought back with him from
Paris, I believe I can guarantee to you the correct-
ness of the following particulars. In the drat plus,
the Emperor has repeatedly declared he will not
send any troops into the Romagna', or reduce them
by force into Pontifical subjection. Cardinal An-
tonelli, on the other hand, is making unheard-of
efforts to enlist mercenaries in every quarter. He
offers to everyman a bjunty of 300 franc, and pro-
mises better pay than a private soldier can obtain in
any service in the world. There is a curio's
circular from the office of the Viceroy of Venetia
in existence, wherein he commands the authorities
to allow such Austrian soldiers to pus se have been
engaged by the Nuncio at Vienna to take service in
the pay of his Holiness. Rome is distracted with
the brawls of these raw foreign recruits as they
stagger out of the taverns. It is quite certain that
the Duke of Grammont hue communicated to the l
Pope his 'named unchangeable determination to
recall his troops from Rome, not in the course of
November next, as some journals have stated, but in
the early part of next year, and the Roman people
have *bound that the various supplies of the French
army colec'ed in the magazines have recently been
sold to the highest bidder. The Pope is terribly
indignant, hardly affects to conceal his wrath, and.
whets alone, liberates his soul in smothered groans of
'
anger and alarm. His Holiness will not listen to the'
plan of converting the Romagna into a tributary
province, a sort of heepodariate, because be thinks if
he were to sanction such a compromise all the other
provinces would he wanting to obtain the same or
similar terms. In this opinion he is not mistaken ;
and for on in a way he is not the victim of an
illusion. A.

NAPLES.
PIION 001 owx cowstolgoirt.)
NAPLES, Sem 10.

The country is daily taking a bolder stand, and
efforts are bents made to inform the public of what
is posing snood them. A printed circular (printed
and circulated secretly of course) is sow on my
table. It announces its objects to the following
terns :
° Year first, No. I, Corritre di Napoli, Septem-

ber 1, 1869.—The object of the present publication is
to enlighten public opinion me the true state of
Italian afthirs, so mach the more se the Neapolitan
government, through its journal, labours in an oppo-
site direction, either by giving bin or mutilated
intelligence, in every way producing a disloyal work,
and worthy only of the power which has for its ob-
ject tyranny, and its means violence and the igno-
rance of the people. We chill, therefore, give the
intelligence which regards the great onus of Italy,
scrupulously collating it from those journals which
are not sold to Austria, and those which are not
quoted by the Neapolitan journal, but are worthy
of the greatest confidence, because they are indepen-
dent, and inspired by the most enlightened and the
most civilised governments of Europe." It then
gives a number of extracts, among others, from the
Times and Daily Newt. I mot, however, call your
attention to another address, which was distributed
amongst the people in great numbers, on the morn-
ing of the 7th inst. It is long, but it tells a number
of indisputable truths, and unfolds the entire cinestioa
between the nation and the government:

In addition to what I have already said of the
fate of Pie di Grotta, I may add that about 20,000
of the troops misted at the spectacle. The pro-
cession began to move at midday, and lasted until
2 o'clock. The King and Queen were in the bal-
oney of the terrace to witness the scene; but her
Majesty retired after a portion of the cavalry bad
passed, and did not make her appearance again. In
the early part of the morning, whilst a squadron of
hums were goiog to take up their position in the
Largo di Costello, a shower of tricoloured cockades
was poured upon them as they were passing under
the Porte di Chisja.
It was said that their /Nestles would risk one of
the theatres on the evening of the 7th, and on the
Bth they returned to Cestellamsre.
