virons. Discontent prevailed everywhere.
Provisions of all descriptions were exceedingly
dear. Commerce was stagnant.

The inhabitants of Pekin were favourably dis-
posed towards the English, and desired their pre-

the English who disembarked at Petcheli had not
ill-treated the natives.

A corps of 6,000 men had been despatched from
Pekin against the English.

Ten thousand soldiers had been sent in another
direction. A report was current at Pekin that the

THE BATTLE OF VOLTURNO.
A correspondent of the Journal des Debats, who
was present at the battle, gives the following
graphic description of the relative position of the
two armies and of the battle :
" During the last five or six days Garibaldi has
shown immense activity. The Royalists, on their
part, have erected formidable works on the right
bank of the Volturno; they hold most favourable
positions, without mentioning the fortress of
Capua; they are masters of the course of the river,
which they can cross by the bridges from Capua,
where the river is little more than a ditch, for
Capua is built on the right bank. From San Cle-
mente to Cajazzo the right bank is bristling with
guns, cleverly masked, strong redoubts thrown up
with barricades and drawbridges.
" The whole country on the right bank is a trap.
Add to this a retrenched camp of 20,000 picked
troops, elated by promises of Royal rewards.
" The base of the operations of the Garibaldians
is at Maddaloni. The left wing stretches from
Santa Maria to Aversa, protected here by the canal
which runs through the country, and occupied by
Major Corte, with the volunteers of Basilicate.
Santa Maria, strongly fortified, is occupied by
General Milvitz, by the Sicilian brigade La Masa,
rather an embarrassment than a support; by the
fine Tuscan regiments Malenchini and Zucchieri,
and Balbi's Genoese Carabineers. The head-quar-
ters remains at Caserta. The right wing, covered
by the mountains, stretches from Dentici, occupied
by Bixio, who has returned from Genoa as far as
San Salvatore by San Lenoro. At half a mile from
that village is the Punta del Parco, and a little be-
yond a ravine, capped by a hill which commands
Cajazzo. The hill is occtipied by Garibaldians,
Cajazzo by the Royalists. A little in advance of
Punta del Parco the road divides, the one leading
to Cajazzo, the other to Capua. This point is also
in the hands of the Garibaldians. Monte San An-
gelo, the key of the defence, commanding the course
of the Volturno, has triple batteries entrusted to the
Genoese artillerymen and to Colonel Spaugero's
corps of General Eber's brigade, under the direc-
tion of Captain Ferrare. To this point Garibaldi
has paid especial care. He has visited about 50
times the batteries, which consist of 28 guns.
" On Saturday I took the railway and visited
Santa Maria. On the preceding day the fire of the
outposts was incessant. The Royalists seemed
determined to strike a blow, for Garibaldi's plan ,
