1 EOKEIGN NEWS. 
Great Britain. — The Great Eastern quitted 
1 Portland at a quarter before 4 P. M., on tbe 8th, 
1 and anchored in Holj bead a quarter before 4 P. M. 
oq the 10ih, having accomplisbed tbe vojage round 
under favorab'e circumstances. Tbe oistaDcc run 
during 48 bours is said to be something over 550 
miles. Tbe average rate of speed for the whole 
trip is s'ated to be a litt'e over 13 knots, though 
during the greater part of the time tbe engine oid 
not go at more thaD half that speed. Tbe greatest 
speed attained was over 14)^ knots, or nearly 17 
miles per hour. This was accomplisbed without 
any special exertions on the part of the engines, 
but a considerable quantity of canvass was spread. 
The weather daring the trip was squally, and at 
times heavy ground swells were experienced, caus¬ 
ing, according to some authorities, a good deal of 
pitching and rolling on tho part of the vessel 
while others say that the motion, if at all, yvas 
most slight. 
It was reported that the Great Eastern would 
remain at Holyhead 10 or 12 days, and then pro¬ 
ceed to Southampton to have her boilers thoroughly 
repaired, in accordance to the requirements of the 
Board of Trade. Tbe correspondent of the London 
Times, on board the steamship, writing before the 
run to Holyhead, says it is more tban probable that 
the ship will Dot leave England during the winter, 
and that Southampton will probably be her winter 
quarters. 
Tbe London Times, in another editorial on the 
San Juan difficulties, reiterates the denunciation 
of Gen. Harney’s course. 
Rumors were current of considerable differ¬ 
ences, and even a split in the English Cabinet, on 
the Chinese question. 
Great hope had been raised that the builders’ 
strike in London was about to be terminated, but 
on the day preceding the steamer’s departure these 
hopes were dispelled, the pending negotiations 
having terminated in an unsatisfactory manner. 
The official correspondence between tbe British 
Government and its officials in Cbma, relating to 
the measures taken for thq ratification of the 
treaty at PekiD, is published. The Hon. Col 
Bruce, British Ambassador, states positively that 
if Admiral Hope bad expressed any doubts as to 
the result of attempting to force tbe passage of tbe 
Peiho, they would not have been shared by tbe 
squadron, and if it be decided that the means at 
command were insufficient to justify so bold a line 
of policy, Col. Bruce accepts the responsibility of 
Admiral Hope’s act. Bruce, in ODe of his letters, 
shows the position occupied by Mr. Ward, the 
American Minister, and expresses theopiniou that 
the Chinese will not make difficulty about exchange 
and ratifications with him, as the conditions under 
which the American Minister is alone entitled to 
visit PekiD, contain nothing offensive to Chinese 
pride. Col. Bruce expresses much gratification at 
the friendly feeliDg and assistance experienced 
from Mr. Ward and flag-officer Ta'nall, and con¬ 
cludes as follows :—Mr. Ward’s position is one of 
considerable difficulty, nor do I see, after our 
unsuccessful attempt at Peiho, that aDy course 
was open save the one which he has adopted. He 
has acted cordially and frankly in the spirit of his 
deliberations at Hong Kong, and it is a matter of 
satisfaction to me that his concert in previous 
proceedings is a strong argument in favor of the 
conduct pursued by Mr. Debourbolon and myself. 
France. — Nothing further has been received 
regarding the proceedings at Zurich, beyond tbe 
general assertion that progress continued to be 
made toward the signing of the peace treaty. 
The Paris Constitutionnel, containing an article 
by its chief editor, says that the preliminaries at 
Villa Franca had rescued Italy from every foreign 
intervention, no matter under what name or form, 
wherever it might come. France confines herself 
to giving Italians proper advice. If followed by 
them, that advice would have insured the pros¬ 
perity of Central Italy; but having in vain offered 
advice, she cannot go so far as to dictate orders to 
Italy. 
The prorogation of the Conference is anticipated. 
Difficulties still remain unadjusted, and it was 
doubtful when the treaty would be signed. The 
Plenipotentiaries of all tbe three Powers held 
conferences on the 19th iiist., and couriers were 
afterwards dispatched to Vienna and Turin. 
The Times' Paris correspondent says that the 
delay is attributed to Austria; that the Vienna 
Cabinet was doing all that it could to win over the 
Emperor to its views, while at tbe same time it was 
reported to be preparing a collision against him in 
Germany. 
The Emperor and Empress had quitted Biarritz 
and arrived at Bordeaux on the 10th. Their 
reception was enthusiastic. On the 11th inst., the 
Emperor received the authorities of Bordeaux. 
The Cardinal Arch Bishops addressed a speech 
to the Emperor, who read a reply to it. Both 
speech and reply produced the most favorable 
impression. The Emperor said tbat the Govern¬ 
ment, which was the means of restoring the Holy 
Father to the Throne, would only give utterence 
to such respectful counsels as were directed by 
sincere devotion to the interests of His Holiness, 
could but be alarmed about the day, which is not 
far distant, when Rome will be evacuated by the 
French troops. It is necessary, instead of appeal¬ 
ing to the ardent passions of the people, xo search 
with calmness for the truth, and pray to Provi¬ 
dence to enlighten the people as well as their 
sovereigns, under a wish for the fulfilment of their 
rights, and that they may well understand their 
duties. All the Bishops have received orders from 
Rome to preach the restoration of Italian duties. 
A Paris journal says that Napoleon is becoming 
disgusted with the procrastination of Austria, and 
for the moment French policy inclines to more 
intimate understanding with England.
