CAMPIELLO SQUILLINI, No. 3228, VENICE. VENICE, September 27th, 1858. Your letter of 23rd ult. was forwarded to me from Geneva very late, and I saw from it that you were near me, "in the Tyrolese mountains," you said, and this raised the hope in me that I should see you and speak to you soon.
After much hesitation, and considerable effort, she addressed to them a timid request for news of her brother-in-law; and sooner than she could have hoped the answer reached her. "In reply to yours of the 29th ult. we beg to state the party you refer to was discharged from our employ a month ago. We are sorry we are unable to furnish you wish his address. "Yours Respectfully,
The arrival at Suez on the 16th ult. of the H.C.S. Akbar, in forty-six days from Hong Kong, after accomplishing the passage down the China seas, against the S.W. monsoon unassisted also by any previously arranged facilities for coaling, exchange of steamers at Aden, and other manifest advantages requisite for the proper execution of this important service, confirms the correctness of my estimate for performing the voyage from Hong Kong to Suez, or vice versâ, viz. forty-three days, including stoppages.
The Journal Officiel contains a long address to the Parisians. Beyond the statement that no news had been received since the 14th ult., this document contains nothing but empty words. Between the lines one may, perhaps, read a desire to bring before the population the terrible realities of the situation. The deaths for the last week amount to 3,280, an increase on the previous week of 552.
"I have received your communication of the 30th ult. containing the resolutions of the Committee, to which I shall of course attend. "I bear this unfortunate gentleman no ill will, God forbid, and it will give me pain if he were reprimanded publicly or privately; moreover, I can see no utility likely to accrue from such a proceeding.
"Suppose I open it and read it aloud, to get it out of our way?" "Thank you, thank you." "The letter is only from our champagne-making friends, the house at Neuchatel. 'Dear Sir. We are in receipt of yours of the 28th ult., informing us that you have taken your Mr. Vendale into partnership, whereon we beg you to receive the assurance of our felicitations.
I wrote you on the 29th ult., the day before Theo. sailed, that on the next day she would embark in the privateer Patriot, a pilot-boat-built schooner, commanded by Captain Overstocks, with an old New-York pilot as sailing-master. The vessel had dismissed her crew, and was returning home with her guns under deck.
In answer to a letter from her, my father replies as follows: "Lexington, Virginia, March 9, 1866. "Amanda Parks. "Amanda: I have received your letter of the 27th ult., and regret very much that I did not see you when I was in Washington.
I happened to come across to-day a file of English newspapers up to the 22nd ult., and I fully realised how all intelligence from without has been distorted by the Government to serve its own purposes. Now a few days ago, these very papers had been lent to Trochu. He read them, kept them two days to show some of his colleagues, and then returned them.
It was the affair of a few minutes, confined to a small space, and did no other mischief that I learn. My last letter to you was from St. Simon's, about the 27th ult., the day previous to my departure. My voyage hither was full of variety, and not of the most pleasant kind, but no accident to affect health.
