IMPROVED RELATIONS OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

PROPOSED GENERAL DISARMAMENT.

The “ Prince Alfred,” Captain Bowden, arrived in our Harbor yesterday. We have received papers—Sydney Empire of 9th, 10th, and 11th of this month

The most striking items of news are the loss of life by the Royal Charter—exceedingly deplorable to the people of Melbourne—and the scraps detailing the cogitations, menaces, and speculations of impending war or continued peace in Europe. France appears determined to talk loudly to the Chinese. Various Powers are busy at diplomacy. Whether we shall have peace, or war, on a large or a small scale is altogether a point resting on a balance which the slighest weight will turn either way. Flogging in the army is discontinued. So contingent does England cons : der present aspect of affairs that she continues her preparations for the worst, as will be seen from increase of malitia, &c, &c.
