ANTICIPATION OF THE OVERLAND MAIL

We (Times second edition), have recadved, via
Trieste, See of papers from Calcutta to the 23rd
of November, and from Hong Kong to the 15th of
November.

We take the following from the Cakutta English-
man of the 22nd of November :

The whole of the intelligence furnished by go-
vernment to the local press with regard to the ope-
rations of the army during the last fortnight is con-
fined to four telegraphic messages—one announcing
the capture of the fort of Samree, in Oude, by
Brigadier Eveleigh, with the loss of only two Euro-
peans killed and four wounded; the other inti-
mating that Madho Singh, the rebel chief of Amethie,
has surrendered, and that the fort is now occupied
by our troops; a third from the Political Resident at
Indore, stating that General Mitchell bad marched
to Hoshungabad, that Brigadier Parker's force would
arrive there on the Bth, that Lieutenant Kerr boa
been obliged to desist from following the rebels into
the Chindwaree hills, a large body having been re-
ported to be crossing the Nerbudda, near Choyer ;
and the fourth that Brigadier Eveleigh's column at
last attacked 8,000 of the Sunkerpore fugitives, took
three guns, and dispersed the enemy with a loss ;
and this is actually all the news which has been
communicated to the public at a time when it was
generally believed that the present favourable
, season would be taken advantage of for effecting
some great and decisive movement. The realize-
bon of these expectations is moreover likely to be
delayed for some further time, since it has
been determined to afford the rebels every
possible chance of availing themselves of the
proffered amnesty, whilst on the other hand
the indisposition of the Commander-in-Chief is not
unlikely to be another cause of delay. Letters re-
wired from the camp mention that many of the
rebels and badmashes had surrendered upon the
strength of the amnesty promised in her Majesty's
proclamation ; but, until the whole of the districts
follow the example, the work of pacification will
be only a slow one. The great object was not only
to distribute copies of the proclamation among the
rebels as widely as possible, but also to give them
convincing proof of the promise of forgiveness not
being a dead letter. The authorities have for that
purpose hit upon an original and very efficient plane
which is to pardon altogether a number of rebels
caught and condemned to death, and then
allowing them to go wherever they please, giving
them a number of copies of the proclamation for
distribution among the rebels. We trust that the
result may realise expectation.. In some parts,
however, the rebels do not appear to be disposed to
surrender, for we have received private intelligence
that Brigadier Wetherell, with the Burson field
force, on marching against the Fort of Amethie,
and expecting to form a junction with the column
under Major-General Hope Grant, was attacked by
the enemy, who appears to have mustered up suffi-
cient courage to come out and fight the forces
brought to boar against him in detail. The enemy
was signally defeated, but the field must have been
contested more obstinately than usual, for the casu-
alties on our side amounted to more than one hundred
killed and wounded.

"According to the accounts received from all
parts of India, the arrangement under which the
Queen's authority over India has been ushered in.
is very satisfactory, and it is pleasing to learn, that
according to all appearances the respectable clue of
natives generally receive the official intimation of
the change of Government with gratißestion and are
partiealarly pleased with the proclamation itself.
Addresses to her Majesty are being prepared is se-
veral places, and there will be no end of loyal pro-
fessions and good wishes. There are also several
among the native princes who, we are told, intend
following the example, and her Majesty will, there-
fore, receive quite a rare collection of autographs,
which may serve as an addition to her Majesty's
private museum."

CHINA.

(Frost the Ore►lewd Prietsd of Mimi.)

The English mail of the 25th of September
reached Hong-Bong on the 9th inst., 43 days from
London. We have little to add to oar last mall's
report of the progress of the Earl of Elgin's nego-
tiations at Shanghai. It is understood that every
thing, so far as the tariff is concerned, is arranged,
and reports ran when the mail packet left, that the
Oommisaionere would sign the papers as on Monday,l
the Bth inst. The buskers eompleted, the Earl of
Elgin intended a trip up the Tangtm-kiang, some
say as far es Haeltow, the westernmost of the ports
premised to us under the new treaty.

Trade at Canton has taken a fair start. Since
last despatch six vessels have left Wharapos for
Louden direct, viz., the Cairngorm, Chieftain, Lalll-
- Morning Star, Warrior Queen, and
Malice*.

From Shanghai there bad been no despatch far
Ragland for a fortnight, though one ship, the
Jubilee, for Louden, left after our last report. Two
ships for New York complete the role of tea export
theses to present date.
From Amoy there has been one vessel for the
Cape of Good Hops.
Total of tonnage in China at date, 197,926 tons
against 197,425 tons of last report.
Tariff and trade regulations mpplementary to
the new British treaty have been signed. In
Canton affairs are progressing steadily; demand
fee imports brisk ; Bhanghlie silk, good ; business
damp unaltered; prices in teas no change; exchange,
es. ed. to ed. Bid. Foochow tea market rather quiet.
SINGAPORE, Nov. 23.—Produce in good demand;
imports unaltered; freights dull; exchange,

The following telegram was received th;s after-
noon by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi-
gation Company :

PAILIS, 817NDAT EVINING.

I am able to state very confidently that the
Court of the Tuileries has within the last two or
three days caused Lord Derby's government to be
officially informed that in case England should
think fit to take any measures to counteract the
American policy indicated in certain passages of
Mr. Buchanan's speech, she may rely upon the sup-
port of France "to the utmost extent.* What
may be the political value and import of this diplo-
matic demonstration at the present conjuncture I
cannot presume to say ; bat the line forcibly occurs
to me—Tinseo Dana°, et does feretstes. At ell
events, I trust the necessity may never arise for us
to quarrel with our American cousins, and to rely
upon Imperial France to aid our cause.

I have reason to believe that rumours, long cur-
rent and often contradicted, of an important change
in one of the highest offices in the department of
the Minister of the Interior, are now on the eve of
realisation.

The Russians in Paris, who profess to know the
views of their embassy, give out that nothing cer-
tain is known u to the revolution in Berrie, and
that we must wait for further intelligenoe before
forming any opinion as to whether Austria is at the
bottom of the movement, or what is the import
of it.

The Potrie announces that the government has
postponed sins die the scheme for appointing In-
spectors of the Prefectures throughout the country.
It at the same time expresses a hope on its own part
that M. Delangle will be brought to see the necessity
for such an institution, which would have the effect
of subjecting the prefectures to a control analogous
to that which is applied to the departments of the
army and finance. In the meanwhile the only
reform made in the prefectures is one which is now
altogether on the order of the day ; namely, an
increase in the salaries of the employee. Every
councillor of a prefecture is to receive an additional
500 fr.

The Examtner was seized to-day, but most of the
other Sunday papers were admitted, although they
contained extracts from the report of the Montalem-
bert trial.
The Monitair was not published to-day.

An unusual scene occurred at the door, of the
Opera House last night. The second bal morgue of
the season had been announced for Saturday, De-
cember 25, and, it being holiday time, a more than
usually large number of persons had made arrange-
ments to go. In the course of the day, however, the
government came to the decision that a masked ball
on Christmas-day was not a proper thing. The
countermand was posted on the door, of the Opera
House at about three in the afternoon, but so little
was the fact known in Paris generally, that from
ten to twelve in the evening carriages were con-
tinually driving up to the doors and to the Passage
de POperaand setting down dominoes, Pierrota, and
fancy manners in infinite variety. The dis-
appointment wan great, and in many in-
stances loud complaints were uttered. Few of the
revellers, however, went home : they distributed
themselves for the moat part among the less re-
nowned ball rooms of the metropolis—such as the

Salle St. Castle, Valentino, and the Prado.

In October, 1853, Count de Persigny decided that
a visa on a foreigner's purport should be good for a
year, which is the legal duration of a French pass-
port, but this regulation was revoked by General
Espinuee's circulars of the Ist of March and Bth
of April, 1868, which prescribed that foreigners
must have their pea/ports visa afresh for every
journey. M. Debangle has now given orders that
the more liberal rule of 1863 shall be reverted to.

A Berlin letter, of December 20, in the D4bage,
contains the following: _ _ .

The loner which the Queen of Pringle recently wrote
from Florence, in the King's name, to M. de Illanteaffil,
naturally furnishes matter for *mole commentaries. Per-
mons in a position to know the contents of the latter say
that it is fall of enooraiuma upon IC de Sianteuffel end for
the government of which be was the head doting •
period of eight years. The Queen, In the name of her royal
husband, expresso the deepest regret that in oonsequnoe
d his biejeaty's illness Prussia is now deprived of
the enlightened coanclls of the late prime minister; in hut
the panegyrio upon If. de hisutauffel is so straw that his
partisans look upon it as a protest against the order of things
established by the regency. The QU1611.• latter coincides
very remarkably with a report of a great Improvement in the
Mate of the King's health, both morally and physically. A
bulletin signed by the physicians who scoompsnied the King
to Italy is banded about at Potsdam, wherein It la stated
that the august patient hu not only recovered the use of his
speech, bat that the day is probably not far off on which he
will be able to rsasesune the roles of power.

I consider this letter u unimportant, except so
far as it shows the intriguing spirit of the court of
the insane monarch. Private accounts from Flo-
rence, far more authentic than the representations
of those who, unfortunately for the country, suc-
ceeded in postponing the regency long after the
King had fallen into a state of hopeless imbecility,
state that there is no material improvement in his
mental condition. I happen to have painful details
proving this, which I refrain from mentioning. The
King's return to power would be an immense cala-
mity, both for Prussia and Europe. But I do not think
any such untoward event is seriously to be appre-
hended.

PARIS, SArvIDAT EVINIXO.
This being Christmas-day the Bourse and public
offices are closed, and there are no evening papers.
The Boulevards, owing to the mild and dry weather,
are more than usually thronged by holiday folk.
The stalls which every year line the whole length of
the grand causeway, from the Madeleine to the
Bastille, have sprung up in a night uif by enchant-
ment. There for the next fortnight will be exhi-
bited the pretty little toys ranging in price from two
sous to one or two francs, which are the arcanes of
the poor, and which they buy foe their kith and
kin with a fervour and faith in the obligations of
the mason far more lively than that of the richer
classes who frequent the splendid show-moms of
Tahan ar Giroux.

All the redacteurs of the DEbata, and very many
redacteurs of other Paris journals, went to Rvrenx
es Thursday to attend the funeral of M. Rigault.
At the railway station they were met by a deputa-
tion from the press of Rouen. The two deputations
marched together to the cathedral, when the funeral
service was performed by the Bishop of Renzi:.
The Prefect of the Ears, the President of the Tri-
, banal, the Procurnr-Imperial, and the M►yor of the
wen, were all present at the ceremony, in order to
testify their feeling that the death of M. Rigaalt in
Erre= was an occasion of mourning for the locality.
M. Saint MaroGirardin, who had the utmost diffi-
culty in mastering his emotion, pronounced a funeral
oration, in the course of which, after dwelling open
M. Ritault's youth, great repuration,and sudden and
melancholy end, he 'poke of the dreadful blow
which his death must be to the young professors of
the university, many of whom he saw around the
grave, and who had looked upon him a " a friend,
a master, and one of the chiefs of their generation."
" For us," he continued, " old athletes of the uni-
Tersity and the Journal if.. Debate, what a °dimity
is it also to we gone from us in a moment him upon
who we had reckoned to perpetuate those tradi-
tions of instruction and disco-vein which are dear to

floors t for I. for cam, hays faith in a future to be
created by the labour of honest and iatel-
ligent meriotioss.• M. d'Ortigse, • personal
farad ad M. Rigsalt, who had olio boom Wag j

to make a speech, was unable to stifle by
sobs, and handed a manuscript to M. Leon Say,
by whom it was read. Pursuant to an Evreux cue.
tom which dates from 1423, the body was borne to
the grave by members of the charitable corporation
of the town. M. Ri?ault died at the early age of
37. He took the highest honours at the normal
school in 1844, and after filling the post of professor
of rhetoric at Caen and Cherbourg he was appointed
tutor to the Duke de Nemours' children, whom he
accompanied into exile in 1848. After his return to
France, in 1849, he became professor of rhetoric in
the College of Louis-le-Grand. His short career in
the College of France as professor of Latin eloquence
was most brilliant. It will be remembered that ha
resigned that position in order to preserve his lite.
rary independence, at a time when the government
gave private orders to professors to write in the
Revue Coostemporaine, and not in the Revue des
Deux Mends,.

The affairs of Spain are ever a riddle. COM de
Espana has become a proverbial expressive, eigui.
Eying a thing not susceptible of being judged of by
the ordinary rules of right reason. The Debate of
to-day presumes so far upon the conventional in.
scrutability of Spanish politics u to offer to its
readers, in one and the same page, two diametri-
cally opposite opinions as to the position of O'Don-
nell. In the first leading article M. Alloury tell' us
that the last news from Spain is " most favourable
to O'Donnell," and that he seems certain to coma
triumphantly out of the first parliamentary trials of
the session. But in a second article, signed by 14,
John Lemoinne, it is stated that the marshal has
" already lost some ground ;" " is not invested wit]
the same prestige that he at first had ;" that
his policy is purely personal ; that he is " O'Doe.
nellist, and nothing else; and finally, referring
to his sudden offer of his resignation to the Queen
because she signed two promotions in the nary
without making his leave : " Marshal O'Donnell
thinks, perhaps, that he has strengthened his Nei.
tion by this precipitate display of energy. We feu
that he deceives himself. The public had Lever pre-
viously supposed it possible that his ministerial
career could come to an end so soon; they were, in
fact, more disposed to believe that he would not
have gone out, even if the Queen had asked him to
do so. He himself has destroyed the prestige, and
familisrised both the crown and the public with the
idea that it is not impossible to do without him."
The telegram stating that the Sultan had washed
his bands of the Isthmus of Suez beeline., and that
the Pacha of Egypt would not allow the works to be
commenced without his sanction, was suppressed in
Paris, and none of the journals have yet felt at
liberty to allude to the subject. It was, however,
apprehended at the Bourse yesterday that the
Lampe bnbble, against which 7 take credit to my-
self for having warned your readers long ago, was
about to buret. The shares were dose at 10 and 16
discount, and there was much wailing over the nen-
sible letter of M. F. de Cormick, of Havre.
It is stated that an action has been commenced by
the management of the Louvre against the Duke de
Maillt to recover a picture of St. John, by Raphael,
given to his ancestor by Louis XVIIL, and which it
is asserted the King wrongfully took out of the col-
lection belonging to the public museum.
A letter received from Holland states that Admiral
Rigault de Genouilly has eent to the Dutch colony
of Macassar for horses for his hoops landed at
Touron. The Macassar horses are said to be excel-
lent for the climate of Asia.

The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at Marseilles
on Thursday afternoon by an exprees train. He
immediately embarked on board the Russian steamer
the Rnrik, which left at once for Toulon.
. .

"It is Positively stated,• says the Patrie, " that
the Grand Duke Constantine, with the Russian
sijuadron which awaits his arrival at Toulon, intends
visiting some of the Spanish ports. It is adJed that
he will pay a visit to Queen Isabella at Madrid."

NAPLES.

Dzc. 25.

A Naplee letter of December 22 states that a
supplemental levy of 18,000 men has been ordered.
There is great activity in all the arsenals.
A despatch in the Measager du Midi confirms the
fact of the extraordinary armaments, and states
further that the King will leave Naples on January
4, for Leoce, escorted by six regiments. The latter
statement is in all probability unconnected with the
armaments, and mast refer to a military promenade
of the King to meet the Prince Royal after his
wedding.

NAPLES, D.c. 21.
As regards Englishmen in Naples, the police have
almost uniformly shown a certain degree of reserve
in meddling with them. Perhaps it is that our
habit of respecting law, and our abstinence from all
intriguing in the internal affairs of those countries
where we reside, protect us from important.
Whether it be this, or whether it be a wholesome
fear of oar government, its rarely that we hear of
any of our countrymen being seriously incem-
venienced by the police. During the last week,
however, a British subject has made a serious com-
plaint at the consulate of threats and insults to which
he has been subjected, which will be best explained
in his own words :

TO am: Barrsxxic munierTs 00=171, NUM.

Ber,—Though ley oonsepandmsee oast without &eget to
without dishonour to me undergo the inamtigations of the
Neapolitan police, I consider it an imperious ditty to de.
some to you for the general interest an act of illegality sal
same brutality of which I was the object the day Wire
yesterday, in the person of a man in my service—an ad of
which it would be impossible to find another example fa
civilised country. Raving had to complain for a kin ass
of the indiscretion of the polite, who, not content with 190-
fag all my letters, even made away with them, I resolved si
length to extricate myself from their inquisitorial moms.
and for this object, the day before yesterday, at 3 o'il°
I entrusted • young man, habitually employed by IN
in the quality of errand porter, with a Lest it
London, with orders to carry it to • preen of wg
