PARIS, Thursday, January sth, 1861
The rumors which have been for some time in circu-
t,ioB relative to the approaching recall of the French
aet from Gaeta have become almost eertanes, since
saturday. On that day ministerial council was held,
,be Tuleres over which the Emperor presided; and
,loluon was adopted, which viii be hailed with plea.
.e bv all friends Of the Italian This resolution
the proposal of an immediate armistice between Vic
,o, Emmanuel and Francis H. TO be followed by negO-
ops for the surrender Of Gaeta and the departure of
Francis from the Neapoltan Territory The only parties
these negotiations are to be the representatives Of the
King Of Sardinia, and the eI King of Naples. Though
taking the initiative in suggesting the only feasible mode
Of settling the NelpOtan difficulty, without further de-
Law or loss Of human life, France will entirely abstain
from throwing her influence into either side of the scale;
but in any event. the squadron under the command Of
Admiral de Tnan, is to be at Withdrawn from Gae
q, with the exception of vessel which will remain
b, the port until the 10Th instant the period fixed for
the duration of the proposed armisce. Whatever may
then be the determination OF Francis be i TO be notified
and has doubtless already been informed that the
French Government can longer lend him moral aid
in bis resistance to the will Of the people. Whatever
concessions Victor Emmanuel may be disposed 10 make
+, all be well for Francis H. upon the uCgOtA
ous with view TO hls actual situation, aud not bis
few remaining partiz,ns regard the question. The Sar
dnilu Government has signihed its acceptance
Of the French proposition. No from Gaeta is
vet known TO have been received but the depOsed
er,ign Of Naples must choose between suspension Of
arms AID an attack by the Italian Aegt It is proper to

Eup,rors Government has given strong proof of its
