Vb.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :
SINIGAGLIA, SEPT. 23.
The cannonade against the fortress of Ancona
and its approaches commenced at midnight. The
fleet participated at a later hour.
Another despatch states that the firing continued,

but at intervals.
The Governalo has gone to Trieste.

VIENNA, SEPT. 26.

In yesterday's sitting of the Reichsrath, M. Lich-
tenfels spoke in defence of the proposition of the
minority. He principally opposed the reestablish-
ment of the former constitution of Hungary, by
which ho said the unity of the Empire would be
endangered. He also stated that the adoption of
the proposition of the majority would lower Aus-
tria to the rank of a second-rate Power. Count
Harleg was of opinion that both propositions were
not sufficiently explicit. He agreed with neither,
and therefore read a programme drawn up in
twelve articles as an intermediate proposition.

ROME, SEPT. 22

The official journal publishes the note of Car-
dinal Antonelli, claiming the assistance of the
Catholic Powers against Sardinia.
The Pontifical troops are said to have reoccupied
Ponecono (?).
A despatch from Gaeta, dated the 22d inst., and
published in Rome, asserts that the Neapolitans
had beaten the Garibaldians at Capua, on the 19th
and 20th inst.
General Goyon has sent a detachment to
Corneto. Another will leave to-morrow for Al-
bano, on the Neapolitan frontier.

ROME, SEPT. 23

The Pope has sent to inquire the intentions of
the Emperor Napoleon in reference to the Roman
States.
The purport of the Emperor's reply is not known,
but his Majesty is said to have mentioned that
France had not allowed Spain to interfere in
favour of the Pope.
Some free corps have arrived within 34 miles of
Rome. Frascati and Albano have been occupied
by the French. In the combat at Montefia.scone
70 Pontifical soldiers were killed and wounded ;
eight Irishmen are among the dead.
Frosinono and Velletri are tranquil. No news
has been received from General de Lamoriciere.
Great consternation prevails at Rome.

PERUGIA, SEPT. 24

The column of General Massi and the Chasseurs
of the Tiber have entered Civita Castellana and
occupied the fortress ; 60 of the garrison were made

prisoners.
Capt. Ducci has arrived at Toscanella. He will
occupy Corneto this evening, the French having
left that town, and taken the road to Chita

Vecchia.
Great enthusiasm prevails among the population

RIMINI, SEPT. 25.
(Official Despatch.)
After some hours' firing the garrison of the for-
tress of Santa Leo surrendered at discretion.
The Sardinian troops occupied the fortress yes-
terday at noon. Several officers and soldiers of the
Sardinian army distinguished themselves in the
attack. .

—_____
The flying columns commanded by Brignone
have made 500 other prisoners.

TURIN, SEPT. 25 (Evening).
The Marquis de Pallavicino has been received by
,he King in private audience, but has not yet left

Turin.
Cardinal Sforza has been expelled from Naples
by order of the Dictatorial Government.

Fabrizzi, Ministers of Police and of War, were
Mazzini's agents at Malta—a fact which plainly
shows what they must be. M. Orlando is a
Genoese, who has made money as a manufacturer
in partnership with his brother at Genoa. Their
establishment was considered the very hotbed of
Mazzinianism, and their men nearly all belonged
to Mazzini's party, Lastly, M. Ugdulena is a
canon, who was a member of Crispi's first Ministry,
and holds the same opinions as his chief."

SABDINIA, NAPLES, AND EOM.

The semi-official organ of the Turin Cabinet has
just published the following elaborate defence of
the policy pursued by Count Cavour's Ministry,
both with reference to the Neapolitan revolution,
and, more recently, in having determined to occupy
Umbria and the Marches. Several points, only
touched upon in the memorandum transmitted to
the different European Courts, are here treated with
great fullness of detail ; and the position of Sar-
dinia as regards Rome, Garibaldi, and the foreign
Powers is laid bare in the following unreserved ex-

position :
" The fall of the Neapolitan Government is a tremendous
lesson for all absolute governments which attempt to deny
the progress of the age and to reject the influence of civili-
sation.
" The Neapolitan Government has contrived in the course
of 40 years to set up and organise an Administration which,
whilst covering the whole State like one great net, sought
to mould the spirit of the people, and to inspire it with
principles in harmony with the policy of the King. During
40 years it has spent enormous sums for the instruction and
discipline of the army, for the creation of a considerable
1 marine ; and in the hour of danger what has it obtained
from all the efforts, from all the expense, from all the sacri-
fices, which it has imposed upon its people ?
" The simple fact is, that despotism was never a principle
of life, but a cause of death, unto Governments. Those
people whom you oppress, and in whom you stifle every
feeling of liberty and of dignity, will not feel themselves
touched in the hour of your danger ; they will not hasten
to defend the Government ; they will contemplate its ruin
with supreme indifference, even if they should not provoke
the same. A Garibaldi lands at Marsala with 900 men, and
four months afterwards the whole edifice erected by Bour-
bon despotism to govern 9,000,000 of subjects comes down
with a crash. A Government which sways the destinies of
9,000,000 of Italians does not possess sufficient strength to
resist the daring condottiere who lands on its coasts at the
head of a few brave young men.
" But this condottiere represents a principle ; he unfurls
a banner which is to Italy the symbol of liberty and of
union, and he combats in the name of a prince whom the
Italians love and admire.
"The regular diplomatists of Europe entertain the opinion
that by the expedition of Garibaldi the Italian movement
has been diverted from its legitimate direction. But what
was the direction, then, which the Italian movement was
meant to take ?
"From the moment that the Italian people acquired
sufficient strength to be able of themselves to settle their
own affairs, the European diplomatists could scarcely have
iherished a hope of raising up obstacles againstthe free and
spontaneous action of the nation.
" It is from this point of view that we must consider the
attitude assumed by our Government towards Naples and
towards Rome,
"Many calumnies have been spread abroad, and many
falsehoods have obtained credence, in order that the adver-
saries of Count Cavern's Ministry might paint his home
policy as hostile to nationality, his foreign policy as hostile
to the Conservative principles which a Government can
never abandon, save at the risk of finding itself swept away
by the raging billows of revolution.
" The contradiction between the domestic and foreign
assailants of Count Cavour is the most luminous proof that
the policy pursued by him is the sole policy capable of re-
conciling the interests of the nation with the guardianship
of a conservative policy.
"The Sardinian Government could not abandon Gari-
baldi, and at the same time it could not abdicate its autho-
rity in the presence of a movement which had broken out
without its participation.
" Europe may indeed address remonstrances and reproofs
to Sardinia, in consequence of the occupation by the Sar-
dinian troops of the Marches and of Umbria ; but Europe
is compelled to acknowledge that the only symbol of order
and of conservatism in Italy is King Victor Emmanuel,
and that the only constituted power by which the Govern-
ments of Europe are tranquillised is that of the Sardinian
State—our Government.
" European diplomacy foresees the complication which
may flow from the entrance of our troops into the Marches
and into 'Umbria ; but could it form an exact idea of all
that would have happened if the Government had remained
inert, and had shrunk from the consequences foreboded
from the energetic step which it has just taken ?
" We can only judge of the political situation as it is, and
as events have brought it about ; but just let us suppose that
the Ministry had deemed it prudent not to allow Generals
Fanti, Della Rocca, and Cialdini to pass the frontier; let
us suppose that the revolution had been unrestrained, that
the people could not obtain the help of the soldiers of our
army; that when they raised the cry of ' Long live Victor
Emmanuel,' they had been left to the rigours of a state of
siege, and to the outrages of the Papal mercenaries. The
situation of affairs would have been wholly changed ; but
would Europe have had reason to remain satisfied with that
change ? On what is the policy of non-intervention founded
unless on the prestige, on the authority, and on the ascen-
dancy of the Government of King Victor Emmanuel ?
"If France and England firmly support a non-interven-
tion policy, they do so not only to avoid the dangers of a
general war, but likewise because there exists in Italy a
Government which .they deem strong enough to control
the national movement in such a way that it shall attain
its scope without menacing all Europe.
" Now it appears to us that to protest against acts which
are the direct consequence of the acknowledged position of
our Government is, to say the least, inopportune. The
Sardinian Government is desired and requested to guide
the Italian movement, and their remonstrances are made
if it boldly takes a step which can alone maintain its influ-
ence, and which is looked for and longed for by the Italian
people. Neither France nor England can wish that our
Government should be brought into collision with the
national sentiment, and should outrage the aspirations of
Italy, for this would be an irreparable misfortune for the
Italian nation, and would occasion great embarrassment to
the two western Powers, which have hitherto secured the
triumph of the non-intervention policy.
" Italy asks only this of Europe : that she be left free in
her internal policy. She aims at union under Victor Em-
manuel, but she does not offend the rights of any foreign
Powers, nor does she commit any violation of international
law. Neither France, nor England, nor Russia, nor
Prussia, can complain of Italy having outraged the law of
nations or done injury to their subjects. Not even Austria
has the right to protest as long as her dominions in Italy
shall not be attacked.
" The good sense of the Italians is evident in the fact
that universally it is acknowledged that no attack should
be male against Rome or Venice, in order to avoid dangers
and conflicts which would threaten the peace of Europe.
" And Italy asks nothing else in return save to be left
at liberty. She sacrifices to the peace of Europe every-
thing compatible with her rights; she will patiently wait;
but she wishes to be constituted as a nation in the same
manner as England, France, and Spain.
" We care very little though Austria and Prussia should
combine to withhold their recognition of the union of Naples
with upper and central Italy, provided only our right to
unite be respected. When the Julien shall be effected we
feel convinced that the great Powers will modify their ideas,
and that the recognition which is now refused will not be
delayed.
" Should this result be obtained without new wars,
without new sacrifices of blood and of money, the Powers
which new address their remonstrances to our Government
will be compelled to acknowledge that it is due to the
policy, at once prudent and bold, of our State, which has
given ample guarantees to Europe, whilst it at'che same
1 time retained the direction of the national Italian move-
ment."

UMBRIA AND TUE MARCHES.

The following short but extremely clear account
of the portions of the Papal territory termed Um-
bria and the Marches, and its relations to the other
divisions of the Roman States, is taken from the
Gazette of Turin :
"Before the Italian war the States of the Church were
divided into four Legations, and the circondario or district
surrounding Rome.
"The first Legation consisted of the provinces of Bologna,
Ferrara, Peril, and Ravenna ; these provinces formed the
part called the Romagna. Victor Emmanuel has annexed
them to Piedmont.
"The second Legation consists of the provinces of Urbino,
Pesaro, Macerata, Loreto, Ancona, Fermo, Ascoli, and Ca-
merino. This part of the Papal States, commonly known
by the name of the Marches, is bounded on the north by
the Romagna, on the east by the Adriatic Sea, on the south
by the kingdom of Naples, on the west by Tuscany, and by
the provinces of Spoleto and of Perugia. It consequently
divides the Romagna from the Neapolitan States.
" The third Legation is formed by the provinces of
Spoleto, of Perugia, and of Rieti. The two first of these
provinces correspond with Umbria. The city of
Foligno,
in fact, in the Delegation of Perugia, is the Fulginium of
the ancients, the principal city of "Umbri lle
a.
"The fourth Legation includes the provinces of Votri,
Frosinone, and Benevento, the last of these provinces being
enclosed within a portion of the Neapolitan territory.
" Finally, the circuit or circondario, being placefdvuintderebr a
o,
special government, consists of the capital itself; o
of Orvieto, and of Civita Vecchia—one of the smallest ad-
ministrative provinces of the Roman stater'—consisting of
a single district, but it forms an important comraerciai port
in the Mediterranean,"

The Deutsche Allgenceine Zeitung of the 21st
inst., contains the following important article :
" LEirsic, Sept. 20.
" When the Italian question was under discus-
sion by the German National Union at Coburg
on the sth inst., the second day of its sittings,
information came through a telegram that a fresh
cession of territory to France had undoubtedly
been stipulated by Piedmont. Professor Giacome
Lignana, of Bologna, a member of the Italian Par-
liament, who was present at the sittiritittave then
and there the assurance that no such agreement for
ceding more territory to France was in existence ;
and, considering that his own feelings were out-
raged by such a report, immediately telegraphed to
the Sardinian Ambassador at Paris, Signor Nigra,
to know what truth there was in the matter. After
a few hours, though too late for communication to
the meeting, a telegram from the Ambassador de-
clared the news of any fresh cession to be a pure
fiction. Some days later, however, Lignani received
from the same Ambassador, Nigra, a letter, in which
the writer deliberately, and with Count Cavour's
sanction, denied categorically not only the existence
of any such treaty, but even the possibility of any
further cession to France. We are enabled to pub-
lish this letter :
" 'I have communicated your yesterday's despatch
to Count Cavour, He authorises me, in his name
and in the most positive manner, to contradict the
absurd rumour spread throughout Europe, that
there exists between the Cabinets of Turin and
Paris a secret convention, having for its object a
fresh territorial cession on the part of Sardinia to
France. The words of Count Cavour, the Prime
Minister of his Majesty King Victor Emmanuel,
are of sufficient authority to render it unnecessary
for me to add any fresh assurance ; but if you think
that after such a declaration a further one by me
would be of any value, I will herewith give you it
in the most perfect and definitive manner. In my
former position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
at Turin, and in my present capacity as the Am-
bassador of King Victor Emmanuel to the Emperor
Napoleon, I have been called upon since the Crimean
war to take part in all the negotiations having re-
ference to the Italian question. I now say to you
with absolute certainty, that in those negotiations
the question has never concerned any cession save
that of Savoy and Nice. Whoever asserts the con-
trary calumniates both the Emperor Napoleon, the
King Victor Emmanuel, and his highly esteeemed
Minister. The new stipulation represented to
exist is a mere fiction of Italy's enemies,
and the documents circulated in Europe upon
that subject are fabricated and absurd. For the
rest you must know my personal conviction, and
will believe me when I declare to you that I would
never represent a Government in whose political
programme the cession of even the smallest portion
of Italian soil should be contained.
" ' Your friend,
• " ' CONSTANTINO NIGRA,
" ' Paris, Sept. 18.' " ' Ambassador at Paris.
" Respecting the authenticity of this letter, so
important at the present time, and of which we
have been empowered by Signor Lignaua to make
whatever use we please, there can be no doubt,
since it is lying before us in the original. It espe-
cially contradicts the statements in the flinzes that
a few days ago everything had been arranged be-
tween Turin and Paris for an additional cession of
.erritory to France."

MR. EDWIN JAMES NEAR CAP UA
BEFORE A BATTLE.

The following is an extract of a letter from Mr,
Edwin James:—
Caserta, Sunday, Sept. 15, 3 o'clock.
One of Garibaldi's most able generals had pro-
mised me that he would give me notice whenever
there was a probability of an action taking place.
Last evening a message was brought to me that
the Staff had been ordered to this place immediately,
and that on the morrow " something" might occur.
About 8,000 of Garibaldi's best troops had moved
towards Capua, and General Eber's division among
the number. The railway, which is perfect as far
as this place, but which has been broken up between
this town and Capua, was filled with troops and
ammunition, and for the last two days has only
been open to troops and those who are connected
with the army.
Take for a moment your map of Italy, and you
will see the position of affairs here in a strategical
point of view. The King is at Gaeta—a strongly
fortified position by sea and land ; Capua is also in
I possession of the King's troops, and from Capua
along the main road to Gaeta and its neighbour-
hood he has nearly 60,000 men, not much more than
a day's Breed march upon Naples. Here the King
has rallied his army ; here he has hoisted his flag,
which floats over the town at Gaeta. Here in the
mockery of regal power he publishes his decrees
declaring all those who have joined the revolution-
ary cause traitors to him and to their country !
Here he has proclaimed the Royal Provisional Go-
vernment. From Gaeta a " private poste" daily
brings its missives into Naples. It was intercepted
yesterday by the army here, and some curious
revelations transpired. And from Gaeta issue to
numerous agents instructions for reactionary move-
ments. In fact, while the King still occupies a
portion of his kingdom danger to the cause of
Garibaldi never ceases. Should Capua be taken or
capitulate, it might possibly induce the King to
quit Gaeta ; and this crisis has, I have reason to
know, been pressed urgently upon the attention of
Garibaldi. Capua must be attacked, or the army
be left to be maintained at the King's expense, to
collapse by the influence of time or of desertion
from the King's cause. This slight sketch of the
position of affairs at Gaeta and Capua will render
intelligible to you the movements of Garibaldi at
the spot to which we hastened last evening.
We arrived at Caserta about two o'clock this
morning. You will remember the fine palace of
the King here—one of the largest royal palaces in
Europe ; the barracks with accommodation for
5,000 men, and the beautiful gardens aritl grounds
which stretch from the rear of the palace to the
mountains. The scene was striking. In the grand
square about 3,000 troops were bivouacked. The
climate requires no tents, and they lay around their
little fires, with their arms piled, in picturesque
groups. The palace was crowded ; in the long
corridors hundreds were sleeping, and it is but just
to the conquering army to say that up to this time
no act of Vandalism has been committed. The State
apartments were untouched, and, as far as I could
observe, the costly and luxurious furniture and the
classic statues remained uninjured. No bed could
be obtained, and we bivouacked in our carriage
among the soldiers.
At 4 o'clock the drum and trumpet called the
men to arms. A few minutes before sunlight Gari-
baldi had arrived, and amid the enthusiastic plau-
dits of his army entered the palace, and held a
council of war with the Generals of Division. All
was bustle and excitement ; the taverns and restau-
rants were thronged, swords and bayonets were
being ground and polished up, officers were being
shaved in the streets, coffee and hard bread were
sold at a premium, regimental bands enlivened the
scene, all the troops were under arms ; and we left
the exciting scene and pushed along the high road
to Capua. About two miles from Caserta we
passed the first outposts of the Garibaldian army.
The appearance of these men lying by the roadside,
with their arms piled in the centre of the road,
was to me, who had never seen real war, interest-
ing. In a line to the right and left, stretching up
to the high hills on the one side for about two
miles, and through the vineyards on the other, lay
scattered the videttes and outposts of the Garibal-
dians, and their red jackets enlivened the landscape
as they walked about or lay upon the ground wait-
ing the order to engage. The most adv.anced out-

Her Majesty's steam frigate Euryalus, 51, Capt.
Tarleton, arrived on the 24th of July in Simon's
Bay, and the harbour master, Capt. Nightingale,
on boarding her, was not a little surprised to find
that instead of bearing any of the insignia of
Royalty or taking a position on the quarterdeck,
the sailor Prince was dressed only as an ordinary
midshipman, and performing that officer's duty at
the gangway as the port boat came alongside.
When hin " watch " was up his Royal Highness
landed, and in the absence of Admiral Koppel was
received ashore by Capt. Tumour. In the evening
all the surrounding heights were illuminated with
bonfires. _ _

_____
On the 25th the Prince, accompanied by Major
Cowell, Capt. Tarleton, and two messmates, sons
of Earl de Grey and Viscount Jocelyn, and escorted
by Volunteer Cavalry, who on request rode close
to the Royal carriage, proceeded for Cape Town,
and beyond Rathfelders was met by Colonel
Travers, military secretary to the Governor, who
was waiting at Herschell, where, horses being in
attendance, his Royal Highness mounted, and
having Sir George Grey on one side and Lieute-
nant-Governor Wynyard on the other, and a num-
ber of Cape Mounted Rifles and private carriages
following, passed through Claremont, Rondebosch,
and Mowbray, where triumphant arches had been
erected, and every demonstration of loyalty was
exhibited. A salute was fired at Roodebloem, and
in Cape Town thousands iined the streets froth the
castle to the entrance of the Government Gardens.
The Volunteer Artillery were stationed on the
Grand Parade. Flags of all nations and colours
were exhibited at every eligible point, and from
the roof of the Masonic-hall a number of ladies and
gentlemen dropped a shower of roses on the ap-
proach of the Prince, who graciously acknowledged
the compliment. Never since the Cape became a
British colony were the streets so gaily decorated.
The walk from the steps of Government-house was
lined with a guard from the 59th Regiment.
Amid the pealing of the Cathedral and the Dutch
Reformed Church bells and the rolling thunders of
the artillery at the Castle and Grand Parade, the
sharp words "Present arms" passed down the
guard of honour. As the Prince planted his foot
on the walk the band struck up the national
anthem and a burst of huzzas from the whole
multitude rent the atmosphere. The Prince was
received at the Government-house by the Secretary,
the Attorney-General, and the other members of
the Executive Council, the President and members
of the Legislative Council and of the House of
Assembly, the judges, dignitaries of the Church,
&e. Here a large number of presentations took
place, and an address from the commissioners of the
municipality was received and acknowledged.
The illuminations and transparencies in the
evening were so very attractive that his Royal
Highness went in an open carriage to see them.
One picture represented the Prince and Sir George
Grey welcomed by a South African farmer, hold-
ing out his hand and saying " Dag Mynheer ;
kom't binnen" (Good day, Sir; come in). Another
had Britannia in the costume of Pharoah's
daughter, giving the Prince to Neptune, and
saying, " Take this child and nurse it for
me." Others had "Prince Alfred," "Welcome; son
of England," ;Y Civilization," " Progress," &c.
A shower of rockets from the roof marked
the approach to the Masonic-hall, where the
Provincial Grand Master of the Netherlands,
Sir Cristoffel Brand, presented Prince Alfred with
the stirrup-cup of love and fidelity.
On the 27th the armoury was inspected, and the
Royal party visited the Observatory, where they
were received by Sir Thomas Maclear.
On the 28th business in Cape Town was suspended,
ar d the troops, including the 59th Regiment, Royal
Artillery, Royal Engineers, Cape Mounted Rifles,
Cape Royal Rifles, Scotch Volunteers, Sappers,
Miners, Voluntary Artillery, &c., were reviewed
under the command of Lieutenant-Governor Wyn-
yard. The Prince made special inquiry regarding
the number and condition of the Volunteers, and
openly expressed his great satisfaction with their
appearance. A well-executed sham fight followed.
On the same day a deputation of Malays, headed
by two Mahomedan priests, presented an address
wishing his Royal Highness joy and prosperity.
• On Sunday, July 21, the Royal visitor attended
Divine service in St. George's Cathedral, and after-
wards went to the Breakwater works, the Somerset
Hospital, and the Sanitarium.
On the 22d the Prince went into the country, and
on the road was received everywhere with unfail-
ing manifestations of rejoicing. He passed through-
out the loyal village of Salt River, and at the out-
skirts of D'Urban was met by the Volunteer Cavalry
with their band. At the bridge the young ladies
of the village, with their aprons full of roses,
strewed the path of the Royal sailor, who was hos-
pitably entertained at an African farm-house, Oude
Bass, by the brothers Beyer, the wines being en-
tirely of native growth. The next place was the
Paarl, where his Royal Highness was met by the
Volunteers, and where he received a deputation
from Wellington. On the 24th the party went to
Stellenbosch, which was brilliantly illuminated in
the evening ; and on the 25th the Prince commenced
his return to Cape Town by passing though the val-
ley of the Erste river, where he breakfasted at Wel-.
moed, the residence of the widow, Mrs. Van der Byl..
The pleasures of a South African fox-hunt were de-
feated by the heat of the day, which precluded all
chance of scent, and his Royal Highness then pro-
ceeded to Krul's River Inn, kept by the veteran
Dunn, a trumpeter at the taking of Seringapatam.
At Government-house the guard of honour was,
by permission, supplied by the volunteer corps of
Sappers and Miners. In the evening Prince Alfred
dined at the mess of the 59th Regiment, and sub-
sequently attended a ball given by Lieutenant-
Governor Wynyard.
On the 2d of August his Royal Highness with
his Excellency the Governor and suite left Cape
Town for Simon's Bay, where they were received
in the Admiralty-house by Capt. Tumour. Having
gone on board the Euryalus, steam was got up im-
mediately, and on Sunday, the sth inst., she arrived
in Algoa Bay. The next day the Prince landed,
and having taken his seat in a carriage drawn by
six cream-coloured horses, proceeded to the resi-
dence of Mr. W. Fleming. On the road, Mr. Pear-
son, on behalf of the Malay population, read an
address expressing loyalty and affection to the
Queen and throne of that nation to whose " gene-
rosity many of themselves (once slaves) owed their
freedom." In reply to the address of the town-clerk,
the royal visitor said that, " although not at home
to receive the congratulations of his parents on that
day (his natal day), it was with pleasure that ho
found himself in the midst of such loyal subjects of
the Queen." At Mr. Fleming's residence a levee
was held, attended among others by Isaac Jukkie,
a Malay priest, on whom the Prince bestowed mach
attention. In the afternoon the head men of a
Fingoe village, accompanied by two " witch
doctors," were introduced.
On Tuesday morning, the 7th, Sir George Grey

On Saturday, the 11th, his Royal Highness ar-
rived at Fort Beaufort, where his reception was of
the same loyal and hearty character as everywhere
else. He attended divine service on Sunday
morning, and in the afternoon left for Heald Town,
where an address was presented in the vernacular
by a Fingoe, followed by "God save the Queen."
The Prince would leave Alice on Monday morning,
the 13th. The Euryalus was at Port Elizabeth on
the 14th. The members of the Free States Volks-
read have given carte blanche to spend as much as
may be necessary in celebrating the Prince's visit
over the Orange River and to the great King Mos-
