lon. Those from Malta will probably arrive first,
but the evacuation is intended to take place simul-
taneously. _ _ .

The following details, from the Pays, relative to
the projected railway from the Mediterranean to
the Euphrates have not been hitherto published
:
The railway will commence on the coast of Syria.
The place chosen for the head of the line is near a
deep and well sheltered bay, about two miles from
the left bank of the Orontes. A port will be con-
structed at this spot, which appears to have been
deigned by nature for such an undertaking. On
quitting the coast the road will be directed towards
Killis, a commercial town in Syria, numbering about
11,000 inhabitants. From Kills the railway will
be continued to Antioch on the Orontes, and from
Antioch to Aleppo, the chief town of the pashalik
of that name. Aleppo is the most important
town in all Syria in respect to commerce: The
inhabitants addressed a petition to the Sultan,
praying that the railway might pass near their
town, and their request was granted. After pass-
ing Aleppo the road will run nearly parallel with
the Euphrates to a place called the Castle of Jo:
Ber, situate below Babylon, between Hilla and
Semaouns on the Euphrates. There will terminate
the first section of the great trunk. The line will
afterwards be directed from Ja'Ber to Bussorah.
It will enter on the Persian territory by turning
the left bank of the Persian Gulf as far as Shiraz ;
will cross the Beloochistan, and reach British India
by Hyderabad in the Deccan. Such is the plan of
the railway, which will bring passengers from the
coast of Syria to the heart of India without quit-
ting the line—a distance of 4,000 miles.

A letter from Naples of the 23d ult.. contains the
following particulars relative to the new colony, to
be founded on the Parana, of political exiles from
the kingdom of Naples :
" Conditions on which his Majesty the King
of Naples will permit Royal subjects convicted
and detained for political causes to emigrate
to the Argentine colony :—The Government of
the Argentine Republic allots ten acres of land to
each of these Royal subjects, and, besides, a square
league of land for each 1,200 colonists, which is to
serve for the construction of public buildings, estab-
lishments fur education, hospitals, and high roads.
The new colonists will be divided into groups of
five individuals, to each of which groups the Go-
vernment of the Republic will give the ground
allotted to them absolutely and for ever, together
with 50 piastres to build a hut, of which the
materials may be taken from the neighbouring
forest. The Government will likewise give each
colonist six barrels of flour, potatoes, beans and
other vegetables in sufficient quantityto sow half the
land allotted to him. The color ism will likewise
receive two horses, two oxen, and a bull, a plough,
two pickaxes, two shovels, two hatchets, two large ,
knives, and a wheelbarrow. The value of those
articles, which will amount to 200 pataconi for
each colonist, and the 50 pataconi for the construc-
tion of the hut, are to be repaid by the colonists in
five instalments at the end of each year after three
years. During that period the colonists can-
not dispose of the land allotted to them, nor
trausfer it to another, until it shall be cultivated. ,
The expenses of the transportation of the colonists
are to be defrayed by the King of Naples. A parish
priest and a curate are t o be attached to each colony.
The Argentine Republic will supply the colony
with Catholic priests, and will defray the expense
of religious worship. The wives and other members
of the families of the colonists shall be transported at
the cost of the Royal Government. If any colonist
shall escape and return to his native country, he
shall be subject to the puilishmentto which he was
, sentenced, and which was commuted to transpor-
tation. If a colonist is married he will receive an -
additional acre for his wife and each of his child- ,
ren."
