FRANCE The Moniteur contains a decree
convoking tue Senate and Legislative Body for
February 10th. The Swiss in Paris are signing
an address of thanks to the Presse for the
course 1t has taken in upholding the cause of
Switzerland on the Neufchatel disputed terri
tory question.
THE SWISS DETERMINATIONS continued to
be entertained that the difficulty between Prus-
sia and Switzerland would be arranged without
an appeal to arms. Our Minister had left Berne
tor Berlin, to tender his services towards a
peaceful solution of the question in dispute
The most ridiculous rumors were in circulation
with regard to the aid which the United States
proposed to extend. Meantime active prepara-
tons for war were going on on both sides, and
the Prusslan army was to advance on the 9TH
January. 1t was rumored that French army
of sixty thousand, under Canrobert, would ad-
vance upon Geneva and also that France and
Austria had agreed to force Switzerland to a
concession that her territory shall no longer
afford harbor for political refugees.
AsIA.-Dates from Bombay are to December

had reached India from the Persian Expedition,
but reinforcements were to be forwarded The
city of Bushre is said to be defenseless, and a
further advance of the British invading force
towards Shiraez would be impossible, the only
road being through three mountains, impracti-
cable for artillery. Dost Mahommed is busy

nifty to ask the British to restore Peshawur to
him and family.
PERSIA letter from St. Petersburg, in the

other troops concentrated in the Caucasus are
very numerous.

THE RoBnnnY.-On Tnesdar mornino last :,

IiIE koBBERY.-On Tuesday morning last on
the arrival OF the stage from Murphy's. our town
was the scene of much excitement. when it
was announced that the stage had been robbed
of the treasure-boxes belonging to Wells, Fargo
Co., and Pacific Express Co. As near as we
can learn, both boxes contained about $35, 900.
Messrs. Joseph Knight, of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
and Chas. Favile, of the Pacific, Immediately
went about summoning posse to pursue the
robbers, and to recover the treasure if possible
Deputy Sheriff Schroebel was also on the alert
and soon posse, mounted on swift coursers,
were en- route for the scene of the robbery-the
Pacific Express represented by Mr.. E. Stevens,
and Wells, Fargo Il CO., by Mr.. Joseph Knight.
Plans were soon matured and carried out, and
the result as will be seen by referring to our
correspondent from Angels, was that the rob-
--1sscrs =oge,s caught and the money recovered.
David Waldia young man about eighteen
years Of age, being suspected rs one of the
party who committed the roA4sl4ery, was taken

part to make confession. He did so-naming
his accomplices. He also took them to the
place where the money was buried, but it had
already been found and taken away, as stated
by our correspondent. Soon afterwards his
partners in crime = Big Brown, and Harry
Browning were arrested The two latter were
retained at Angels, and Waldin conveyed to
the Jail at Mokelumne Hill. On Thursday
night last, he was taken back to Angels, for
the purpose of holding an examination before
Judge Lake on yesterday.
Since the above was written, we learn the
prisoners have been committed, and are on the
road to Jail.
On the receipt of the news says the San Fran
cisco HerGid Capt. Knight, Superintendent ot
Wells, Fargo Co.'S Express, telegraphed to
Murphv's to make good the amount stolen.
We also learn that money will be forwarded
TO Murphys by Wells, Fargo Co., to defray
the expenses incurred in the detection of the
robbers and recovery of the treasure

1sg~ DR.. L. j. Czapkay.-The gentleman
whose name forms the caption of this notice is
one of the few modern physicians whose appli-
cation to his profession and devotion to the af-
flicted, render him alike an ornament to the
one and benefit to the other. A Hungarian
by birth, he sought with kossuth to place his
country among the nations of the earth, beyond
the oppressors rule, that her sons might re-
joice in the practice of those precepts which
are alike our glory and our pride. In his efforts
SO to do, he has rcaped the reward of Intellectual
resistance to oppression, and ~ home and a
country know him no more" Apart, however,
from his claims upon our consideration as u
patriot, the testimonials of character and ca
pacity which he brings entitle him to public
confidence, to the exclusion of those who pos
sess neither the one or the other As a gentle
man his character is untarnished: rs a physi-
clan, his skill unsurpassed; and to those whose
imprudence has left upon them the tants OF
disease, we can eonscientiously commend him
with the assurance that in him they will find a
friend whom to know is great gain. The Dr. IS
