herein is the difficulty.

pie like you, Italy should not stop until she
had freed the last inch of her soil from the

notes.
Germany.
Great Importance is attached in Germany to
the recent meeting of Emperor Alexander and
the Prince of Prussia. The Russian and
Prussan cabinets WILL it is asserted, follow an
identical policy in all great questions.
LIE Nord says the reception given at War
saw, by the Emperor Alexander to Archduke
Albert, the bearer of overtures from Vienna,
was most ceremonious, formal, and cold.
India.
The discharged European troops were eav-
ing Calcutta at the rate of thousand per
week. 1t is reported that Sir c. Treyelyar
had recommended the entire dissolution of the
native army at Madras, leaving nothing but
small, highly trained European military
police.
China-Mr Ward at Pekin.
A letter in the North China Herald in regard
to the movements of the American Minister,
says: The Powhattan having on board Mr.
Ward has just arrived from the Peiho. While
the Powhattan was anchored off Petung there
arrived an imperial edict ordering the Ameri-
can Minister and suit of twenty should be
escorted with all honor to Pekin, and that they
should leave Peitung any day after the 10Th.
The edict was in answer to communication
of the American Minister informing the
authorities that he was presant and ready to
exchange the treaty at any time and place
they might appoint
On the morning of the 20th Mr.. Ward and
suite landed at Peitang where they were re-
ceived by an escort and conducted to Pellin
with every show of respect They first travel
ed forty five miles across the country in cover
ed carts striking the Peiho some 10 miles
above Tien Using, and thence proceeded in
junks to Toong Chan, distant twelve miles
from Pekin of which it is the port. There
they again took carts to the capital. The en-
tire trip occupied eight days and half, five of
which were passed upon the river. They
|
tween Peitang and Toong Chan none of them
however being in repair or backed by forts.
Boatmen said they were partly to stop the
English and partly to afford shelter to iunlzs
from tho ice. The legation remained in
Pekin Is days during which they were con-
fined to their quarters-not however, as pris.
oners, for they were at liberty at any moment
to walk out, but the commissioner refused the
use of horses and guides, leaving it optional
with Ward to grant permission to walk or not,
as he saw fit. They would doubtless have
closed the gates entirely, had not that gentle
man taken a firm stand at the very first inter-
view, informing Liang that as soon as his
movements should be at all restricted, he
should close all intercourse and demand re-
turn escort 1t seems the Emperor was very
anxious to see Mr.. Ward but that he also in
sisted upon his performing the "ko-tow'-that
is, prostrating himself nine times, with his
head to the ground, which, being against the
| principles of the commissioner, was positively
refused The result Of this was, that, on the
| fourteenth day of their stay it was concluded
to receive the Presidents letter at Pekin, and
send Ward to Peitang to exchange the treaty,
and next day they returned accordingly, ar.
rived at Peitung on the 10th, when treaties
were exchanged, and one English prisoner
| named John Powell given up. This man. who
was a seaman on board the Highfyer, and who
was captured June 25th, fearing for his life,
had proclaimed himself an American. The
Chinese informed Mr.. Ward of this, and init
mate their readiness to give him up as an
American if he should demand him. This
however, he could not do, as the prisoner had
been taken fighting under the flag of another
nation. Anxious, however, to serve the poor
fellow, he intimatcd to them that it would be a
great personal favor if they would turn him
over, and as such it was done, and he is now
on board the Powhattan.
The London Times thinks the whole affair
was humiliatirg for the great nation and was
intended to DE 50. The British and French
ministers remained at Shanghai. The Amer
lean men-of-war were disposed of as follows
Mississippi and Powhattan at Shanghai; Toey
Wan at the Gulf of Peiheli; and Germantown
at Japan.
Several hurricanes had visited the coast of
China, and damaged the shipping.
In Japan the currency question had been
settled for the present by return to the first
understanding
