" Private correspondence from Canton of Dee. 15
mentions a fact which has not yet been imported,
and which shews how deplorable is the feeling en-
tertained towards England by the court of Pekin,
since the breaking out of hostilities. On Dee.. the
mandarin governor of Lin:Ting, seized in the Hong

East India Company and to English subjects. The

The Conference for the settlement of time Neuf.
ehatel question wws opened at one o'clock this day,
at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. I have aheady
announced that the meeting would take place before
the middle of the month, but it was not thought
that things were quite so far advanced as it turtle
out that they are. Only the four Powell; parties to
the original Conference of London were represented
at this preliminary meeting—for France, Count
Walewski ; for England, lord Cowley; for Austria,
Baron de Hubner; and for Russia, Count de kisses
Leff. To-morrow, however, the plenipotentiaries of
Prussia and Switzerland will be introduced.
Marshal Bandon, the Governor of Algeria, whose
visit to France has been several times prematurely
aneounced,

really arrived at Nltuseilles ibis day, and
he is expected here to-morrow. You may perhaps
remember that some time ugo it was cent:deafly re-
ported that he was to replace Marshal ValiSant u
Minister at War, and that the Duke of Malakoff
would be appointed Governor of Alperin.
At the Howse the parliamentary defeat of the

70fr. 50e. and 71fr. 10c. Mohair? fell 32fr. 50c. Rail-
ways we-e more offered than theyhto e been all the

of the sitting of the Council of State to-morrow, at
which the Emperor will preside. Orleans fell 25fr.;
Lyons, 20fr. ; Mediterranean, 15fr.; Northern, 10fr.;
Western, 15fr.; Eastern, 12fr. 50c.; Southern,

A long and (in an historical point of view) en
interesting article in the .11miteur, by General
Tascher de la l'agerie, aide-de-camp to the Em-
peror, contains a very complete vindication of tho
memory of Prince Eugene Ikauharnais, against an
imputation of treason cast upon him in the last
volume of Marshal Marmont's " Memoirs." The
allegation was that in the beginning of 1814 Prince
Eugene, having been ordered by Napoleon to evacu-
ate Italy, and bring his army across the Alps, to
arrest the progress of Prince Schwartzenburg, at
the head of the Austrians, had disobeyed the order,
in the hope of preserving the crown of Italy for
himself, notwithstanding the full of the Emperor.
General Tascher admits that the order to
evacuate Italy was given, but he says that
before there was time to act upon it, Napoleon,
elated by the victories of Montmirail and Champan-
bert, sent counter-orders, of which General Teacher,
then an aide-dc-camp of Prince Eugene, was himself
the bearer, directing the prince to hold his position
in Italy as long as lie could, anal to defend it inch by
inch. The article also contains letters from Prince
Eugene and his wife, showing that he had indig-
nantly rejected advances ramie to him by Austria
through the Prince de Taxis, with the view of in-
ducing him to barter his allegiance to the Emperor
' for the title of King of Italy.
