suth pass through France, either from fear
oftheeScitement which his presence would
cause in Paris, or from dcfercnce to Aus

letter dictated by him at Marseilles 10 the
Mayor of Southampton, it would appear
that it was his intention to go to Gibraltar,
and there take passage 10 England in
an English steamer II such such should
be the case, the most likely steamer will be
the Jupiter, which left Malta on the goth.
The Jupiteris expected al Southampton
about the 9Th or Sth Of this month. The
opinion at the American consulate at South
amptcn. however. is that the Mississippi
Wall bring kossu,h to Southampton, and
