LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 12, 1860.

Scarcely have we been cheered within the last
few hours with tidings from the direction of China,
to the effect that the War had been brought to a
satisfactory termination, than a counter statement
comes to us from the Foreign-office, to the totally
opposite effect, that the War is Not over by any
means, but that, on the contrary, the allied army,
according to the latest and most reliable accounts,
had actually commenced its march upon Pekin !
And from what point is it that the Anglo-French
forces are said to have begun this bold advance
movement upon the Chinese Capital? Why, as to
the particular spot from which they have now
started upon this final expedition, against that
all but fabulous metropolis of the great Chinese
Empire, all the various intimations coming to us
nt this moment from that remote seat of war are
perfectly agreed—they all designate the point last
attained by the allied army as within ten miles
only from the walls of Pekin ! It wap on the 10th
of September, in fact, that the Anglo-4111c troops
had reached Yangtsunyeh, or, as it is spelt in Mr.
WYLD'S excellent map of the Field of Operations,
San-sien-wey.

Saturday night brought with it, at a late hour,
the official telegram announcing that General Sir
lIoPz GRANT had so far accomplished the objects of
the expedition, that he had already begun to take
active measures for the return of our troops home-
watda—stwo regiments even then having been de-
spatched o their way coastwards for embarka-
tion! Theintelligence was sufficiently startling :
for according to the last published accounts, the
allies, when the mails then left, viz., at the end of
August, were busily engaged in negotiating at
Tien-tsin terms Of agreement with the partially
diseomfited adversary. Suddenly, therefore, to
hear that tilat army Which
had been negotiating
towards the end of August at Tien-tsin was actually
by the next accounts, i, e.,
by the accounts dated
pretty far on iv. September, no longer at Tien-him,
no longer waiting the result of
diplo •
mate ner-,etia•
bons, but that it s vas positively within ten miles from
Pekin, at the point variously designated ‘,
ang-
tsunyeh and San •sien-wey, naturally was enough
to awaken curiosity, and to excite feelings et asto-
nishment. A subsequent telegram explains, it is
true,to a certain e: rtentwhat had(iu the earlier part of
the interim) tram Tired there at the actual seat of
war; this late tele gram bringing down events thus.
from the end of August to the Einth of September.
It intimated, this second official telegram, that the
negotiations at Tien-tsin Lad a few days previously
been abruptly broken o[tf, and the signal given to
the allied forces to renew their march, advanc•
ing at once boldly upon Pekin. An additional
and later telegram yesterday arrived with the
announcement 'Already given, that by the Tenth of
September the Allies were within ton miles from
Pekin, namely, at San-lien-wey. Since which
comes the following contradictory statements to
the effect, as we have previously observed, that, first
of all, Sir HOPE GRANT in a telegram dated the
26th of September, announced the war as
over, and the army preparing to return, two
regiments being already on their way homewards ;
And in the second place we learn now, by another

telegram, dated from Hong Kong, also on the 26th of
September (!) that hostilities had recommenced, and
that the Allies had resumed their march upon the
capital ! From San-sien-wey (?) From that start-
ing point, within ten miles from Pekin ? Who shall
say ? We must wait patiently until further news
shall solve the enigma—For as far as the telegrams
have gone yet, we are left (after conning them care-
fully) in utter bewilderment as to whether a deci.
sive conflict had taken place between the Allied
Troops and the Imperial forces under SANKOLINSIN
—whether Pekin itself had fallen into the hands of
the European conquerors—or whether the Empe-
ror of CHINA, to the end that he might avoid bring-
ing matters to these perilous extremities, had,
however tardily, yielded to all our demands with-
out any exception or reservation whatsoever, includ-
ing amongst them, of course, full and ample indem-
nities.

Of one thing, however, we may reasonably feel
confident—namely, that the next despatches, in
clearing up whatever sources of bewilderment there
are latent in these few telegrams just received, will
assure us definitively that the worst,is over; that
further bloodshed need not be looked for between
the belligerents; that the Chinese and:the Allies, in
fact, are belligerents. no longer ; that the third, and
let us hope, the last of these wars of ours:with China
has been brought, by the union of Sir HOPE
GRANT'S energy and Lord ELGIN'S tact, to a happy
and triumphant close.

Another day only intervenes now between this and
the morning upon which will be solemnly interred
in Westminster Abbey the mortal remains of the
great Earl of DUNDONALD. As THOMAS, Lord
COCHRANE, his heroic name will be held by the
British nation in everlasting remembrance. That
is the truest and the grandest earthly meed of his
glorious and all but matchless reputation. Of that
priceless recompense no man can now deprive him.
Among the heroes of his country he occupies no
secondary position in the British Walhalla. His
effigy as a very paragon of heroism stands
there side by side with that of NELSON
alone—stands there imperishably, indestructibly.
Englishmen of all future times will thrill with
pride and exultation as they read the history of
this dauntless sailor, proud and exultant that they,
too, are Englishmen. They will read, in the
records of that marvellous career, incidents that for
superb daring and for their evidence of war-
like genius have never been surpassed. Whose
English heart does not glow within him,
for example, to find recorded in the naval
annals of our land, among the =nay kin-
dred incidents related of Lord COCHRANE, that,
when a prisoner of war on board the French
republican ship, the Formidable, in the year
1801, durihg a desperate conflict with
the British fleet in the Bay of Algesiras—at
every broadside from the British man-of-war op-
posed to the Formidable—at every broadside crash-
ing into the latter vessel from the British guns,
Lord COCHRANE and his men gave three ringing
cheers, thoagh surrounded by the French, and
liable, like the French, at every broadside to be
swept to destruction ? As to the consummate
coolness by which the valour of this heroic heart was
characterised, what need be instanced in illustration
of that, beyond a passing allusion, let us say, to
this one recorded fact in the history of one of Lord
COCHRANE'S grandest achievements—his terrific on-
slaught, in 1809, upon the French vessels of war lying
at anchor in the Basque Roads--namely, that while in
the very midst of it in an open boat, when the seaman
seated next to Lord COCHRANE, in this open boat,
was struck dead by a cannon ball, while engaged
in looking through a telescope, Lord COCHRANE,
without having his attention withdrawn from
scrutinizing the enemy for one instant, disengaged
the telescope from the dead man's hand beside him
and himself continued the observations ! It is the
inanimate dust of this glorious hero that we are
about to sepulture in Westminster Abbey.
The interment of his remains there is the
last tribute of respect left for us to
offer to the memory of this extraordinary charac-
ter—one who during life was treated notoriously
so grudgingly, so ungratefully by his country in
return for so many matchless achievements. Let
us hope and trust that her MAJESTY'S Ministers
will not allow to slip from them within the next
few hours, unused, what we cannot but regard as
in their regard a really enviable opportunity. Let
us hope that they will adopt measures without
any further delay to pay some notable mark of
honour to the glorious dust of DUNDONALD—that
they will see, for instance, that the Great Sailor
Earl's remains are accompanied from Kensington
to their final resting-place in Westminster Abbey,
that they are attended along that route by a body
of the Guards, both infantry and cavalry, while
the park guns fire a salute as the coffin of our
Other NELSON is lowered into the grave. If these
poor marks of honour alone be conceded, Ministers
will secure to themselves the grateful sympathy
of many and many a generous-hearted English-
man. If ever these last honours be denied--shame I
to our administrators !

The Retirement of GARIBALDI is the important
news from Italy to-day. It was mentioned, indeed,
on Saturday, but in a way which hardly assured
us that the deed Teas done. The telegrams of this
morning leave us no doubt that GARIBALDI, the
Dictator, :"snow plain GARIDALDI--- General GARI-
BALDI, we presume, as his rank in the Piedmontese
army will, of course, cling to him. But rank is,
truth, nothing to such a man ; who speaks 'di Mm,
ever, by any designation but that ot his proper
name ? What to him are titles like General, or
even Dictator ? The man of one great idea, with
laborious and noble work as his means to realise it
—to him all that can be conferred is nothing, and
less than nothing, except as it expresses kis actual
right and power to rule and command for the
furtherance of the great object of his life. Probably
this great man is wholly unfitted for the work
which he has now left to others to accomplish.
Unfitted, we mean, for ' dealing with all the
selfish patriots who will throng around the
new Government and will demand the reward of
their merits, in ofFAces, posts, situations, and salaries.
An enthusiast ("if the noblest temperament himself,
and like a t:ne apostle, ready at any time by " his
°lva 13Ands to minister to his own necessities and the
nr.ctssities of those who are with him," he is ill
adapted to tho task of settling the conflicting claims
of less self-denying or less self-competent patriots.
The King of ITALy's new Government can hardly
fail to honour the men of GARIBALDI'S temporary
choice, but with the entire administration, police,
and army to remodel, there will be little scope for '
the qualities which chiefly distinguish the brave
anGdAsalciiDlfAuLl
DGlerneetriar
les to his Island farm but GARI-
BALDI does not, and cannot retire from influence on
the world. His spirit has been the one which has
rendered the Italian cause what it now is, the germ
of liberties to other European nations. Louis
NAPOLEON did much for Italy—it were ingratitude
to deny it. GARIBALDI himself felt it and owned
it, and it probably, much more than fear, would have
kept him from attacking French soldiers. But
Louis NAPOLEON did not infuse the higher spirit

into the Italian struggle. It was not in the man,
and others could not receive.it from him. He could
leave his work undone at Solferino, and sell Italy to
the Government of confederate Princes at Villa-
franca. The emancipation of the northern half of
Italy resulted, indeed, from what he did, but evi-
dently against his will, and in consequence of the
determination of Italians themselves. Neither could
VICTOR EMMANUEL nnd Count CAVOUR have created
the new spirit which animates Italy. Loyal they
were, sincerely so, to the national cause, but they
had obviously objects to gain which might be con-
sidered personal ; it was not easy to be sure whether
in accepting additional territory the King of PIED-
MONT desired to extend his own dominions, and to
exalt his monarchy, or to enlarge the area of con-
stitutional liberty in Italy. The KING might be
disinterested—indeed, from all known of him, there is
every reason to believe that, if only in antagonism
to Austria, he cordially accepts constitutional Govern-
ment, well knowingthat nothing is more hateful and
galling to his bitterest enemy than the sight of real
national liberties on her very frontiers. Still there
could not easily be unanswerable proof in his case
of a pure and spotless ambition.

GARIBALDI it is who infused into the Italian
struggle that element which has made it one of
world-wide interest. His motives no one, even of
his enemies, ventures to impugn. His long past
history ; his consistent and brave struggles for
liberty in other parts of the world ; his indifference
to any reward but the reward of the work he had
accomplished, and of a position to do more of the
same kind; his unrepining readiness to work for
his livelihood whenever not wanted in the fight for
liberty ; his preference, indeed, of work to pay or
pension, with the fact that he could breathe his
own spirit into thousands of the noblest of the
Italian youth, securing the homage and obedience
of lore from all—everything has united to
make GARIBALDI the soul, the ennobling soul
of the Italian cause. May it not be marred in
passing from his hands ! May he have so far im-
bued it with his own spirit that it will be impos-
sible hereafter to escape its influence.
The proclamation of VICTOR EMMANUEL and his
replies to deputations, seem to show that the KING
has caught the spirit of his General; but the move-
ment will not stop with Italy. Let it but succeed
there in the form of orderly freedom, and nothing
can prevent the spirit of GARIBALDI'S movement
crossing the Alps, and awakening other suppressed
nationalities to life. Now the work is begun, who
shall say where it will stop ? The rights of peoples
against the claims of petty dynasties is what Italy
has asserted in the clearest and most inspiriting
form, ever since the landing of the patriot at Mar-
sala. It was a war by a man of the people, for the
people, and it has ended in exalting the people to
their right position, while the agent modestly
assumes but the position of an agent, who
numbers himself with the people when his work is
done. The Old World, and the new also with
manifest pride in the comparison, exclaim a second
WASHINGTON ! But the second WASHINGTON has
done his work where there are many WASHINGTONS
wanted. Worth of the Alps, a people who, united
and enjoying political liberty, might be a nation
second to none in Europe, are cut up into some
thirty or forty little kingdoms, intermarried with
half the thrones of Europe ; and associated with
that people, is Hungary and a number of non-Ger-
man provinces, all hitherto governed for the selfish
interests of the comparatively small German
Duchy of Austria Proper. The Princes of
various names may do what they please, but
they cannot hinder the impression on the peoples
of Germany from an Italy such as GARIBALDI
has made it. Unhappily there is not a Ruler, big
or little, in Germany whom all the people can
trust, as the Italians can the King of PIEDMONT;
but the time will produce its man. With GARI-
BALDI and KOSSUTH ever ready, and Italy exem-
plifying the value of their principles, the
upward movement cannot long be kept
down. They have but to listen to KOSSUTIfS
sound advice—he "recommends to his countrymen
prudence and moderation—before long," he says,
" a cry of liberty will resound in Europe, and
success is at hand." He is right. Regenerated
Italy is the seed of liberty and peace for Europe.
Let the Nationalities but pursue the course which
Hungary has taken, and we trust will persist in,
and with the sight of Italy before them, the
dynasties must succumb.

TEE TVA. 7? ,IN CHINA.

(From the Morning _Post.)

We have reason to believe that on Saturday last
an official telegram was received from Sir Hope
Grant, stating that he had despatched two regi.
ments on their way home, and that others were
preparing to follow. This tr,;iegram was dated the
26th of September.

As the last ner,-,4 previously received left the Allies
in the act of negotiating at Tien-tein, at the end of
Aug"..eit, there was evidently a great ancj important
gap to be filled up.

Yesterday, however, another official telegram
arrived, which brought intelligence of the rupture
of the negotiations at Tien-tsin, the march of the
allied forces on Pekin, and the departure of
Lord Elgin in their track on the 9th of September.
We last night received a further despatch which
throws still more light on the events in China, as
it confirms thq march of the troops on Pekin, and
positive_ly states that on the 10th of September the
a:my reached Yangtsunyeh (or San-sien-wey, as it
is spelt in Wyld's map), which place is within ten
miles of Pekin.

So far, then, the gap is filled up. We may now
hourly expect the arrival of despatches which will
narrate the important acts which must have taken
place between the 10th of September and the 26th.
What is certain is, that Lord Elgin in the first days
of September broke off the negotiations which the
Mandarins had opened at Tion-tsin, and directed
the whole force of the expedition on the capital it-
' self, which, on the 10th of September, was menaced
by the arrival of the Allies under its walla.
Whether a battle was then fought with Sanko-
linsin, who was reported to be present there with
a large force ; whether Pekin itself was occupied ;
or whether the Emperor surrendered at once to our
terms, we have yet to learn. But that a peace, full
and satisfactory, has been signed we lave the
assurance : the telegram of Sir Hope Grant proves
that the expedition has accomplished its objects,
since on the 26th he had sent off two regiments,
and was making preparations for the return home
of the rest of the army.

The Queen has appointed the Earl of Chichester
Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Sussex, in the room of
the Duke of Richmond, deceased.
We understand that more than half the amount
required for the erection of the monument upon the site of
the martyrdom of Bishop Ilooper, at Gloucester, has been
subscribed. The committee appeals for further aid.
There is to be a grand exhibition of Italian pic-
tures in Florence next summer, in aid of which the chief
Italian cities are to contribute largo sums of money. •
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has fixed Tues-
day next, at twelve o'clock, as the time for receiving a de-
putation on the subject of the hop duty.
Professor Faraday has consented to deliver a
course of lectures, adapted to a juvenile auditory, " On the
Chemical History of a Candle," is the coming Christmas
