Him MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

As usual during the engagements of Maine. Piccolo-
mini this theatre was crowded to the ceiling last night,
to witness the admirable performance of the charasin,
and youthful prime cl9n,n3, who was greeted with the
most enthusiastic applau.se during the open,. She ha{
lately arrived from Dubin, where her success WAI insst
triumphant, the critics in the Dublin papers
vith one another in her praise. Signor Belletti al 1 111..
Charles Braham are also highly spoken of by the Dahlia
press, but Signor Rossi seems to be a special favourite.
We quote a few extracts from the principal papers :
" Signor Rossi made his debut as Don Pasquale with
unequivocal success. He possesses a great fund of mirth
and animal sisirits. It required no interpreter to tell
the various passions by which he was agitated."—Sctun-
dens' News Letter, Oct. 17.
"It was fortunate for the fame of Signor Rossi that
Don Pasquale' was performed in Dublin several tines,
but he personated the part of the old Don bettor than
it was evsr performed hers before, and we say this with
a vivid recsilection of the admirable impersonations of
the character we have witnessed."—The Daily Express.
" Don Pasqoale was personated by Signor Rossi, a
buffo of high merit, and the possessor of a rich and
powerful baritone. Hir conception and performance of
the part of the old Don was masterly and effective.”—
Ircentesn's Journal, Oct. 17.

the service which I cannot well call accessory ones,
although they only take a secondary place, such as the

figures for the first time as a regular aejunct of the
service attached to an army.
The third compartment gives a general view of the
naval resources employed for the transport of the army
of the East And its immense stores of provisions from
the ports of France and of Algeria, to Gallipoli,Con-
stantinople, Varna, and Eupatoria, and, finally, to the
providential port of Kamiesh, as a!so to insure their
return, However great was the energy displayed by
the Imperial navy, it was nevertheless found necessary
to charter a considerable number of trading vessels, and
the War-office conveyed from its own resources a con-
•Aiderable portion of the personnel of the army, and also
nearly all the horses and materiel.
The figures in the tables need no comments ; they
sufficiently explain the vastness of the enterprise and the
efforts made to carry out the projects of your Majesty,
and to provide, conformably to your orders, not only for
the wants but for the comforts of your soldiers of the
Army of the East.
This report, which, with the tables referred to,
fills eight closely printed columns of the Moniteur,
is preceded by the following letter from the Em-
peror to the Marshal To H.E. MARSHAL VAILLANT, MINISTER OF WAR.
My dear Marsha Compiegne, Oct. 22.
t,—The most useful services are not
always the most striking.. The skilful and indefatigable
Minister who day and night is occupied in his Cabinet
with the organisation of 600,000 men, and with provid-
ing an army of 200,000 with all that is necessary for its
existence, to enable it to fight and conquer in a country
without resources at 800 leagues from France, the merit
of that Minister, I say, is at least equal to that of the
general who triumphs on the field of battle. And the
country must therefore share its gratitude with him who
prepares the path to victory by uniting elements in time,
and with him who gains it by well taken measures in the
field.

This is why, my dear Marshal, in ordering the inser-
tion in the Monitcur of the remarkable report you have
addressed to me, I have wished to make the public judge
of the services the full value of whieh I alone have hith-
erto appreciated.

Accept, my dear Marshal, the assurance of my sincere
friendship. NAPOLEON.

NEUCHATEL.

A letter from Berlin, in the Constitutionnel,
says :—" It has been announced that Switzerland
will, at its request, be represented in the Congress
of Paris for the affair of Neuchatel. This state-
ment is premature. France has, it is true, pro-
posed to admit Switzerland at the approaching
conferences for this special question, but no deci-
sion has yet been come to. It will doubtless only be
decided on at Compiegne, where the precise period
and duration of the conferences will be arranged.
Prussia will oppose the admission of a representa-
tive of Switzerland, unless the Helvetic Con-
federation shall make some significant advances
to her."

A letter from Neuchatel of the 18th, in the
Novelliste Vaudois, says : " On Saturday the
Fleche steamer brought to this place the deputa-
tions charged to deliver up to the Republicans of
Neuchatel the flags and cup offered them by their
confederates of the cantons of Geneva and Fri-
bourg. On passing before the town the steamer,
which was dressed out with flags, was saluted with
22 guns from the terrace of the Castle, which was
returned by a similar number from the steamer.
On her arrival alongside the quay, the deputations
were received by the Neuchatel committee under
a triumphal arch, the front of which bore the in-
scription, ' Friends and Confederates—Welcome.'
A cortege was then formed, and advanced to the
hotel de Ville, preceded by a military band. The
deputations were afterwards entertained at a grand
dinner."

NAPLES.
A letter from Naples, of the 14th, in the Co-
logne Gazette, says :—" The official rupture with
the Western Powers is not considered in our diplo-
matic circles as a very serious affair. The King and
his Court regard the recall of the ambassadors, with-
out the appearance of the fleets, as a new delay ac-
corded by France and England, which will enable a
solution sparing the susceptibilities of all parties to
be arrived at. Our government appears to have
no other object than to prepare an honourable re-
treat. If my information be exact, France will be
content with pardons to some, and with certain re-
forms which, however, the king will be allowed all
latitude to carry into effect. We know not to
what extent England will be satisfied with this
solution, but it is certain that the other powers
will content themselves with it. M. Erenier and
General Martini are much more in accord on the
affair of Naples than they appear to be. M. Ka-
koschine, the Russian minister, who at first com-
plained most energetically of the policy of the
Western Powers, now speaks much more mildly,
and is full of eulogiums on the moderation of the
Emperor of the French. The despatches of the
Marquis d'An tonini from Paris are also very favour-
able, and he says that the Cabinet of the Tuileries
displays a most conciliatory disposition."
