pursued by them, bat said nothing aboutour
bring there; lac also asked why the English
and French Ministers had left the Gulf, and
what they intended doing sc. Mr.. Ward told
him that he came here 10 attend TO ms own
business, and knew nothing about the English
and French. The answer arrived from Pekin
on the Iith. giving our Minister permission 10
so there. Arrangements We're made for ira

and iiabersham, Surgeons Fox and Stafford,
Captain IN. c. Taylor, Purser Galiaher, En-

Another correspondent writes:
On the very day the last English vessel took
ats departure. a Chinese official requested us
TO in form the English that two prisoners were
seized on the night of the battle. one of whom
was wounded, and to request them (the En-
glish) TO send their surgeon Li-tuh (Litte) to
visit him. Our announcement that the French
and English had all taken their departure
seemed both to surprise and alarm them. We
offered to receive the two men, or 10 send cur
surgeon TO visit them; but after great deal of
pretended willingness, but actual evasion,
they refused TO accede TO either OF our PROPOSE
tons.
The wonnded man. according to the state
ment. is an officer, by name Chill -Maka -shase:
the other quite young, by name Kiang- -ship'u.
Such are the Chinese sounds. Perhaps the
friends of these poor fellows might be able to
iden tify them. The wound is not severe. Itis
the intention Of the Chinese TO take good
care of them, and return them to the English
when good opportunity offers. My own
opinion is that they wished in this way to
open fresh mmuaieations with the English,
in the hone of averting by diplomacy that re-
,ribution which they have every reason to ex-
pect

NAPLES.
The Neapolitan government is actively
strengthening its army, and the force which it
Is assembling on the Papai frontier will
amount TO 10000 men, whose supreme COM
mand WILL II Is said be temporarily taken by
the King in person. Some politicians have
coniectured that the NeapoIitan army is to
lend lis services to the Pope against his iusur-
gent subjects but it is not probable that the
Emperor Louis Napoleon Will permit any but
French troops 10 interfere in the affairs of the
Roman States.
SPAIN.
The Spanish Government has announced to
the Cortes that the Emperor of Morocco has
intimated his Willingness TO accord the salts
fac ton required by Spain, and that informa-
tion OF his Willingness was received before the
expiration of the term fixed for compliance
with the Spanish ultimatum. The Madrid
Cabinet instantly demanded 'guaranees''
that peace shall not again be disturbed; and
an immediate answer is expected from the
Moorish Emperor. Unless the "guaran tees''
required by the Spanish Ministry are of too
unreasonable or humiliating kind il may
reasonably he presumed that they will not be
refused by the Emperor of Morocco, and, cou-
sequently, it may be hoped that the dispute
will be settled without resort TO hostilties

From a letter in the New York Herald, from
Richmond, we take the following
A remarkable letter was sent to Gov. Wise
