The steamship Adriatic, from Havre and Southampton on the 1st inst., arrived at this port on Saturday morning. Her advices are four days later. The most important feature in the news is a letter on the state of Europe from the Emperor NAPOLEON to the Count DE PERSIGNY, French Ambassador to the Court of London. On the two great leading topics of the day the Emperor gives it, as his "innermost thought," that he desires peace for Italy without foreign intervention, and withes to undertake the Syrian Expedition in conjunction with other Powers. Particulars are received of the two actions fought on the 20th and 21st inst. at Melazzo, in which the Garibaldians were perfectly successful. GARIBALDI has entered Messina, and has concluded a military convention with the Neapolitan commander. It is confirmed that the General has refused to grant the truce asked for by the King of Sardinia, and that he expresses a firm intention to march upon Naples as soon as he has taken Messina. We have details of the massacre of Christians in Damascus. The accounts give the number of victims at three or four thousand. It was fully expected that a convention of the Great Powers, with regard to the Syrian question, would be signed on the 1st inst., and that immediately afterwards an embarkation of a combined Russian, French, and English expedition would take place. We publish divers opinions of the German Press on the late interview at Toplitz, between the Emperor of Austria and the Prince of Prussia. They all seem to agree in thinking that the meeting has been successful, and that a better understanding between the two Cabinets has been promoted.
