" We learn from Faris that a complete under-

based upon the English note of the 27th of October,
relative to the Italian question. This agreement will
be shown by the nomination of ambassadors extre-
ordinary to the court of King Victor Emmanuel as
soon as the Italian parliament has proclaimed the
constitution of the kingdom of Italy under the Deep-
tre of that sovereign. Further, we are assured that
the western powers will guarantee the new king-
dom to the house of Savoy. With regard to
Venetia, France, which lately has made the pro-
gramme of Milan the basis of its Italian policy,
now, it is laid, takes completely the English point
of viow. It is known that the latter power con-
siders any act of aggression against Venetia as
more or less premature, and that it has made re-'
presentations in this sense through its minister at
Turin. For this reason there is ground for an-
ticipating a diplomatic arrangement respecting
Venetia"

EXPEDI'

CAMP, CHANG-MU-WAR, 8117.20.
Too will hardly be prepared tes hear the very
serious turn drafts have taken in respect to our re-
latives with the Chinese. The comraamiler-in-chief
mamba& from Tien-tsin in the afternoon of the 9thl
to Pookoo, distance 14 miles ; on the 10th to Sung-
tain, 8 miles, and halted there on the 11th ;on
the 12th, Nantzee-shoon, 8 miles ; and on the 13th
to Hooeeiwoo, 12 miles. The last is a considerable
town, and contained much valuable property.
The troops were encamped outside, and did not
plunder ; but the respectable inhabitants all left
the plate, and it was impossible to prevent the
camp followers of the army and the black-
guards of the town from looting, and this they did
so effectually that in a short time little wee
left. On the arrival of the army at Hooeeiwoo
Mr. Parkes went on to Matow, the next stage, to
meet the Chinese commissioners from Pekin, and
returned to Hooseiwoo on the 15th. It was ar-
ranged with them that the army should &dean°e to
a spot a few miles beyond Matow ; that there it
should encamp ; that Parkes should prooede it and
go on to Tungchow, where the convention to be
made wee to be drawn up by him and the commis-
sioners ; that Lord Elgin should remain at Hoosei-
, woo until everything was ready for signing ; and
that, when apprised of this, he should join the army,
and the convention should be signed by him and
the commissioners in the camp : after whisk
his lordship would proceed to Pekin with an escort•
The Prism% was/sada( was, of course, a party to
and included In these arrangements. The allied
fortes marched to Matow on the 17th--distance
13-miles ; and on the 18th, at 5 a.m., proceeded,
according to agreement, towards the town of
Chang-taia-wan, near which was the place where
'the camp was to be pitched. On the 17th Mr.
Parkes, accompanied by Mr. Loch, secretary, and
'Mx. De Norman, attache to the embassy ; Mr.
IBoelby, the correspondent of the Times ; Cblonel
Walker, assistant quartermaster-general of cavalry,
and an officer of Fane's Horse, with a small esoert of
that regiment and of King's Dragoon Guards,
went on to Tungchow. Mr. Parkes and Mr. De
Norman went there to complete the negotiations
'for the signing of the convention, and Colonel
Walker and a commissariat officer, Mr. Thompson,
I who was also of the party, were to make arrange-
Iments for procuring supplies for the army while it
was encamped near the town. Tungchow is a large
walled city, twelve miles from Pekin, and about
Ithe same distance from Matow ; the road to it
from the latter place passes through the consi-
derable town of Chang-tsia-wan, this latter
being four miles from Tungchow. The place
where the allied army was to encamp is two
miles on the Matow side of Cbang-tsia-wan.
As I have already said, the forte marched from
Matow at 5 a.m. on the 18th. About the same time
Mr. Parkes, with his party, with the exception of
Mr. De Norman and Mr. Bowlby, left Tungchow,
intending to proceed to the encamping ground to
meet the commander-in-chief, and after seeing the
force encamp to return to Tungchow to breakfast,
to complete his burliness with the commissioners ;
but on getting • mile beyond Chang-tsia-wan
found to his astonishment a large Tartar army of
horse and foot strongly posted in aline of entrench-
ments, defended by a number of guns, with war
banners displayed, and evidently prepared to
oppose the advance of our army. Indignant
at such a demonstration, and suspecting treachery,
Parkes, who does not know what fear is, instantly
returned to Tungchow to demand au explanation
frees the commissioners. He took with him his
escort, with the exception of a few dragoons, whom
he left with Colonel Walker and Mr. Thompson in
the Tartar lines to await his return, while Mr.
Loch rode on to the encamping ground, where he
met the allied forces, and acquainted their com-
manders with the state of affairs. The army was
halted, and prepared for action ; pickets were
thrown out, and the baggage secured, and Mr.
Loch, accompanied by Captain Brabazon, deputy-
ansistant-quartermeatergeneral of artillery, re-
turned to Tungchow, to tell Parkes that the army
had arrived. He was allowed to pass through the
Tartar linee and to proceed on hie way. About the
same time a mandarin of high rank came out with
a flag of truce, and it is understood pointed out
the place where the army was expected to encamp.
After remaining a short time he returned to the
enemy's position. hr the meantime Colonel Walker,
who had remained in the Tartar lines, observed a
defiant and insolent demeanour in the soldiers about
him which had not before been displayed. They began
to crowd about him and his small party, and
I looked as though they meant mischief. While he was
waiting there a party of French who belonged is
the French embassy, and had also gone to Tung-
chow the previous day, came up, and palmed on
through the Tartar army towards the allied force.
Shortly after this Colonel Walker heard a scuffle
behind him, and looking round saw some of the
Tartars make a rush at a French officer who be-
longed to the above-mentioned party, but bad ap-
parently loitered behind, and was accompanied
only by his servant. Colonel Walker rushed to his
assistance, but was unable to save him. The
poor fellow was barbarously murdered, and at
the same time a number of the Tartar soldiers
threw themselves upon Walker. His sword was
plucked from the sheath and carried off by one,
while several seised his feet and legs and endea-
voured to unhorse him. Seeing that the game was
up, he called to his men to ride for their lives, and
followed himself. They bad to pass along the front
of part of the enemy's entrenchments, and every
gun and gingal that could be brought to bear was
fired upon them, but providentially with no worse
remits than • flesh wound in the leg received by
one of the troopers and a bullet in one horse, and
they all reached our army, which was not more
than 400 yards distant, in safety. Mr. Thompson
also got &slight spear wound in the back.
There could now be no longer doubt that
treachery was intended, and there was but one
course to pursue, and that wee initiated at once.
The whole army advanced. The French on the
right turned the left of the enemy's works, which
they then enfiladed ; while the British turned their
right. To do this the left wing of our army had to
make a great detour to prevent the clouds of
Tartar cavalry, that at first almost enveloped our
whole force, from getting round to our rear. In
this operation Probyn's Horse made a most daring
charge, and cut up many of the enemy. A squadron
of Fane's Horse also, under Captain Caney, that
was placed for the day on the extreme right with
the French troops, greatly distinguished itself.
The enemy soon began to give way as the allied
tortes gained ground and opened their guns, and in
a few hours we had taken their works and driven
them through the town of Chang-taia-wan and
out of their camps, four or five in number,
beyond. They retreated upon Tungchow, and our
advanced poste were within two miles of that
city, while head-quarters were established in
Chang-tsia-wan. b 7 guns were taken in the
enemy's entrenchments, and 22 in the camps
