The letter purportipg TO be written by the
Emperor Napoleon 10 the King of Sardinia,
has been printed. II is dated October 10th,
and is generally regarded as genuine. The
Emperor observes that the question 10 not,
now, whether he did well or i'll at Villa Frsn-
ca, but rather to obtain from the treaty re-
suits most favorable 20 the pacitcation OF
Italy.
II was necessary to conclude q treaty that
should secure in the best manner possible the
Independence Of Italy, which should satisfy
Piedmont, and yet which should not wound
the Catholic sentiment or the rights OF the
Sovereigns in whom Europe felt an interest.
The Emperor says he 10 bound by the
treaty, and cannot, In the Congress which ID
about to open, Withdraw himself from his
engagements. He demands that the Duchess
Of Parma be called to Modena, Parma united
to Piedmont, and Tuscany augmented, per-
haps by portion OF territory, or restored to
the Grand Duke Ferdinand, and Systems Of
moderate liberty shall be adopted in oil the
States Of Italy.
The Emperor also traces plan of Italian
confederation with the Pope as the Honorary
President, and says that this increase OF his
moral'inAuence viii enable him to make CON-
cessiSns 10 conformity with the legitimate
Wishes Of the population.
The Correspondent received warning

Region ALEC received warning for reprodu-
ding that article.

pean troops were leaving Calcutta at the rate
Of 1000 per week. Sir @. Trevelyan recon-

A letter from Shanghai, dated Aug. Cd,
says that the q. 8. steamship Powhattan,
with Minister Ward, had just arrived from
Peiho. The following statement is furnished
By her officers: On the 10th Of July, the
Powhattan was anchored OF Peitang, when
an Imperial edict arrived that the American
Minister and his suite OF twenty should be es-
corted with all honor to Pekin.
On the 20th Mr.. Ward and suite landed,
and were received by an escort and conducted
to Pekin with every shsw of respect. They
travelled forty-fve miles across the country
in covered carts. striking the Peiho ten miles
above the len Tsing, thence proceeded in
junks within eleven miles Pekin, whence they
again took carts TO the capital.
The trip occupied eight and half days.
Remained at Pekin fifteen days, during which
time they were confined to their quarters, not,
however, as prisoners, for they were at lib
erty ut any moment to walk out. The Com
missioner refused them the use of horses and
guides, leaving it optional with MIR. Ward to
remain or not, as be pleased.
They would doubtless, however, have
closed the gates entirely, bad not MIR. Ward
taken a firm stand at the frst interview, that
as soon as bis movements we're at ell restrict
ed, he would close all interview and demand
his return under escort.
1t seems the Emperor was very anxious to
see Mr.. Ward, but that he also insisted upon
his performing ka.ew, that is prostrating
himself nine times with his head on the
ground, which was positively refused.
The result was, that on the 18th day il was
finally concluded TO receive the Presidents
letter ut Pekin, and send MIR. Ward back to
peising to change treaties, and the next day
they returned.
Al PeitiDg. on the 10th, the treaties were
exchanged, and an English prisoner named
John Powell, was given up, having pro-
claimed himself an American.
The United States steamers Mississippi and
Powhastan we're at Shanghai, the Torrewan
at the Gull Of Peicheli, and the Georgetown
at Japan.
