THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIoNsHIP-LETTER From
SAYERs.-''1o the Editor of the Times Sir: The pe-
riod has arrived when it becomes my duty to thank
the great British public for the patronage they have
bestowed upon me. 1t is not for me to pass any
remark upon my late struggle, when the New
orld has pitted against the Old, but one thing |
can say IN honesty, that did my best for the land
OF my birth and dearest affections ! had opposed
to me one worthy of me, and whose activity ra-
pidity and pluck it was small task to encounter
Sprung from our own race, the Americans inherit
our best qualities, and as conflicts with them
have in the progress of time ended in peace so
may every bitterness engendered by the late struo
Crla ha hin
my own part, and that of my children, humbIy
offer to you my most grateful thanks and | trust
to whatever period Providence will extend my
life, that no act of mine, either in private or in
public life, will be unworthy of one who has re-
ceived the notice of the Times newspaper.
81 remain, Sir, &c, Tom TAYERs, Champion of
England.

FRANCE.
PARIS, May 5.-The Patrie believes itself correct
in stating that decision has yet been taken rea
tive to the evacuation of Rome. The same paper
says:-lt is asserted that Marshal MMahon will
take command of the camp of Chalons in June
next. Preparations are making at TOulon and
Marseies to receive the siege artillery of the army
of Italy, originally intended to reduce the strOn1
places of Venetia.
PARIS, May 5.-The Constitutional has an article
by its chief editor NJ. GrandguilIot, condemning
the efforts which being made to cause the fall
of Count Cayour 1t details the difficulties which
have been successfully overcome by Piedmont and
points out the political Importance which she has
acquired with the consent of Europe. 1t extos the
policy OF Count Cavour, and praises him for re-
sisting the efforts of those who would exceed that
policy. This article also clearly declares that Eu-
rope, and France particularly, will energetically
disapprove aggression, and that the work of Pied
mont is no longer to extend her boundaries, but to
assimilate herself to the annexed provinces. The
MOniteU' publishes an imperial decree nromulps
ting the law passed by the Legislative Chambers for
aboishing and, in certain cases, modifying the du-
ties hitherto levied on cotton. The import duty
on cotton imported into France, in French ship
ping, is abolished; that imported in foreign ship
ping is to pay duty of three francs the one hun
dred kilogrammes Cotton imported into France
by land is likewise to pay a duty of three francs
per one hundred kiOgrammes. The price of -four
varied considerably in the Paris market this week

BERLIN, May Sin yesterdays sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, during the discussion upon
the affairs of Scheswig- -HOstein, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, in reply to question of NJ. Won
Blackenburg, said The Prussian government
does not coincide with the views of NJ. Won Vincke
in reference to the Federal Diet. Prussia does not
consider the organ of the German Confederation
as merely existing, but as having right to exist
In the sitting the Minister for Foreign Affairs
stated that questions had been addressed to him
from two different quarters to whether an ALI
ance already existed, or would be concluded, un-
der certain emergencies, between Prussia and Aus
tria. The Baron declared in reply, that no such
alliance existed.
MAY G.-In yesterdays sitting the Minister of
Finance, in introducing two projects of law, with
the view of obtaining from the Chamber a grant
of extraordinary supplies for military purposes,
said: BY these measures, the provisional cOndi-
tion OF the army, after the mobilization of last
year, is to be maintained. Their execution re-
- a a.
ter of War, from the lst of May 1850, to the 3Oth
of June, 1861 In order to meet these expenses,
the additional tax OF twenty-five per cent. hitherto
paid, is to be continued until July l, 1861 and the
surplus from 1859 is to be used. The ministry Cor
the present requests the Chamber to vote the said
amount without requiring special account; such
an account will, however, be laid before the next
Landtag. The State reserve fund of Il 900, 900
thalers will remain untouched. The question of
whether the Landwehr is to be liable to two or
three years reserve duty is not considered in the
AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, May Tn reply to the proposals of
France, England consents to adopt as the basis of
the conference article ninety-two of the Final Act
of Vienna which refers to the naturalization of the
districts of Chablais and Faucigny. England re-
serves, however, the right of making of the said
Conference proposals relative to the mode of this
naturalization. This declaration of England is
likely to increase the probabilities of the assem-.
bling of the proposed Conference.
SPAIN.
The Paris papers publish the following as the re-
nunciation by Count Montemoln of his pretensions
to the throne of Spain: 81, the undersigned
Charles Louis de Bourbon and de Bragance, Count
de Montemon, declare in the face of the world
publicly and solemny to renounce now and forev-
er all claim to the throne of SPan protesting that
this sacrifice, which lay upon the altar of nv
country, is the result of the conviction which have
acquired in the last abOrtve attempt, that the eff
forts which might be made in my favor would al
ways lead to civil war, which | wish to avoid at all
price. Consequently, pledge my word and honor
hencetorth never to consent to my flag being hoist
ed in Spain, in its States, &c. | also declare
that, | am restored to the full enjoyment
of my liberty ! will renew my present voluntary
remuneration, so that at no time my free will in
making it may be called in question. May the hap
nness and prosperity of my country be the reward
of this sacrifice! Done at Tortosa, April 23d, 1860

GARIBALD1's EXPEDITION To SIcmY-The Patrie
OF Tuesday evening says General Garibaldi's
departure for Sicily has been fully confirmed He
left during the night from the 5th to the 9Th inst.
The PiedmOntese government had ordered all arms
and ammunition which had been deposited at
Quarto, Genoa, to be seized, and had also
given orders for the port of Genoa to be watched
The expeditionary vessel which had taken her pa
pers for Malta, had put out to sea two DAYS previ
ously. General Garibaldi Joined the vessel imme-
diately afterwards, and she, instead of proceeding
to Malta, went to Sicily. The Piedm0ntese gov
ernment made every possible protest against this
act OF General Garibaldi, which may involve the
new Italian State in serious difficulties. General
Garibaldi, being in cOnnexion with the committee
in London undertaking the collection of English
subscriptions for Sicily had, in order to replace
Sandman government, received other arms, which
had not passed through Piedmont. The Pays con-

will then direct their course towards Sicily"
