Cape OF Good Hope.
| Cape of Good Hope papers, Of the 18th November,
have been received, at which date the convict ques-
| ton remained in much the same unsatisfactory
The Neptune still continued off the Cape; and al
though petitions after petitions had beeh presented
| TO the Governor, Sir II. Smith, praying that he
would order the Neptune away, he peremptorly
refused, assigning as his reason that he would not
commit can act illegal, impolitic and of danger
Gus example," The colony was quiet but several
of the shopkeepers who had furnished the govern
ment with provisions were utterly ruined, the colo
nsts having refused to purchase them any longer
Threats of actions for damages had been made by
some of the tradesmen circumstanced; but il as
not expected that if trial followed, the object sought
would be obtained.
From the East.
DR.. Campbell, the British resident at Darjeeng,
| having imprudently, in company with DIR. Hooker
the celebrated boanist, crossed the frontier into
Thibet, both seized and carried before the
Sikkim Rajah, at Tumoong. They are still de-
tanned as prisoners, and their treatment is repre-
sented to have been very barbarous and cruel
The affair seems likely TO prove of rather serious
consequences to DIR. Campbell
| The old Rance has again fomented conspiracy
among the Sikh Sirdars. The whole affair has
been once more foled; and Clutter Singh, Shere
| Calcutta, there to end their days under surveil-
lance. There seems still to be considerable insub-
ordination among the turbulent Skhs, and Sir
Charles Napier is taking the requisite precautions
| to put them down with strong arm The domin-
ions OF the Nizam are also the scene Of discomfort
and every thing tends to the open and avowed as
sumption OF power by the British in that extensive
| territory.
From China we learn that the effective steps
taken to crush the piratical hordes in those seas
have been successful and the naval forces which
were on that service have returned to port without
the loss of single man. while the destruction of the
MT ,r,,,
on shore; and the whole of their junks excepting
six, were destroyed. The Chinese authorities have
co-operated efiectually with the Englishnaval COM
manders. Papers from the Cape of Good Hope have
been received. The Neptune, with the convicts on
board, was still in the colonial waters and the dis
| sensions in the colony continued undated.
Letters from Singapore, to 9th December, men
ton that Mr.. Balistier formerly American consul
| there) had returned from New York as Envoy and
| Diplomatic Agent of the United States to South
Eastern Asia; he had proceeded TO China, where the
| American commodore had been instructed to place
man of war at his disposal. This looks like an
intention on the part Of the United States Govern
ment to increase its influence in the China seas
and to extend its power across the Pacific. A
gang OF Abyssnan coolies, in charge of serang,
had arrived at Singapore, and left for Labuan, un-
der engagement to the Eastern Archipelago Com
pany, TO- labor at their coal mines
Rajah Brooke was still at Sarawak, but by late
letters from that place it appears that he contem-
| plated trip to Labuan.
don Globe of January IS gives the following ac-
count OF the scheme to get rid of the Hungarian
Dictator
at is about four or five weeks since Sir Stratford
Canning was informed of this detected conspiracy
and when the last advices left the Levant, il had
become the common talk of Constantinople. The
details of the transactions are as folows:-Among
the refugees who followed Kossuth across the Turk
| sh frontier Hungarian soldier who had de-
serted the imperial service in Italy, and contrived
to regain his country before the termination of the
war.
| can Austrian consul put himself in communica-
ton with this man, and proposed that he should aid
| him in plan for the escape of Kossuth. The off,
cial represented the constant embarrassment which
the refugee question would prove to Austria, and
1 the expediency of at once furnishing Kossuth with
| the means Of quietly reaching France or England.
| The Hungarian soldier fell into the trap and be-
gan to concert measures for carrying out the plan
but before long the real nature of the Austrian
| suls project was discovered. Kossuth TO be
| wied away from his Turkish residence, and then
| to be murdered by band Of Croats stationed on
1 the road to the seacoast.
"There various stories afioat as to the precise
| occasion on which this discovery was made. But
however that may be, it is quite certain that Sir
Stratford Canning was at once informed Of this re-
voting treachery, and of the circumstances which
/ implicated the Austrian Government ITSELF With
his cooperation the Turkish authorities are now
occupied in an investigation ofthc whole plot and
before many days over, the result of their la
bors, whatever 1t may be, will assurcdly be given
\ TO the world"
The PapaI States.
The Constitutional has the following letter from
Rome, dated the 18th
eff we may credit the reports which proceed
from our demagogical factions, the return of the
Pope will be indefinitely adjourned. This delay
is attributed by some to the opposition of the great
northern powers and by others to the discovery OF
a conspiracy to be carried into effect the day OF
the entry of the Pope into Rome; others state the
cause TO be the want ofcash, in consequence of the
loan not having been concluded. ! believe, on the
contrary, that the negotiation for the loan with the
house OF Rothschild is in fair way, and that the
affair Is Tar advanced towards settlement. Three
days since employee, in the apostolic palaces was
| stabbed in open day in street near the Corso.
The wound, though not mortal, is severe the
sin has eluded ali search. Every man known for
his devotedness TO the cause of the Ponti and par
ucularly those who have used their pen in his de-
fence, are every day assailed with anonymous
letters and threats. What has lately tended TO
rouse the hatred OF the Mazznians against the Pa
pist writers, is the publication IF work entitled
Catalogue ofthe Posthumous Glories of the Roman
| Republic This little book, which has caused a
great sensation, is nothing than keen satire
on the demagogical regime. IL Is said that the
Minister of Finance, M Cali, will be shortly re-
placed, and every one will be pleased at IL. Two
persons spoken Of for his successor /; one is
Mgr. Ferrari, who was charged with the famous
mission 10 Constantinople in lS47; the other NJ
Marchesini, Of Bologna, man whose honesty and
| talents universally appreciated"
The Gazette du Md, OF Marseilles, has the fol-
| lowing from Rome, dated the 9Th instant 1.-THE
supplications from all the towns of the Roman
States have at length touched the paterna heart OF
Plus TX. After having maturely deliberated with
his Cardinals, the Pope has declared TO the dplo-
matte corps that he will return TO his capital in the
middle ofJsnuary."
The Giornaie di Roma Of the I4th officially an
nounces that 5ll ,355f worth Of copper money have

gust last.
