Owe of the Emperor Naroutow's lettere of invi tation to a Congress, that addressed to the Ger manic Confederation, has been published at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, whereupon the French Government has authenticated the document by inserting it in the Monikur. The letter adds little to our knowledge of the intentions and objects of the Imperial author in proposing the assembling of a Congress. Indeed, the Speech of this day week left little to be said. Theme who admired that address, end saw in it new and precious guarantees for the peace and progress of the world, will admire this letter ; and those who were alarmed a week ego by the announcement of great plans involving the disturbance of a variety of interests, will not now be reassured. The Kurraou's letter to the German States °peas with the assumption put forward in his speech as the ground of his proposal. He speaks of events as arising every day to threaten the peace of EOM& The outbreak of war, he intimates—war of the most destructive character hitherto known— is a danger of the times which has been the object of his grave meditations. The Congress he pro poem is recommended as a means of " the pacifies- "lion of Europe." We are not told what the sources of this danger are, and many will be disposed to question the accuracy of his Iduenry's representation of the state of Europe. Since Thurs day last, it is tree, we have heard a great deal of the probability of war, but we venture to my that until the EYPZELOR made his speech, in which war was placed as the alternative of the rejection of his proposition, we venture to say that nobody apprehended it as a probable contingency. The Rersaoa proceeds to state that it has been customary at periods succeeding great convulsions which have shaken the foundations and changed the frontiers of States, to hold Congresses for the purpose of revising and ratifying the new order of things. The last of these great meet ings of States was the Congress of Vienna, but the state of things established there is crumbling away on all sides. In every direction the Treaties of Vienna are destroyed or modified, ignored or menaced. " Thence," says the Ehumain, " arise duties without rule, rights without title " deeds, and pretensions without limits." And in this manner the pesos of Europe is endmisseed. Is it not better to anticipate this danger by deli beration in a Congress than to wait until "sudden " and irresistible events confuse oar judgement mid " harry us away in contrary directions 1" The ratification of accomplished facts, however, is net all that the EMPIROIL expects of a Congress. He makes it plain that in proposing one he seeks to attain ends such as have hitherto only been achieved by war. This is the difference between his Gan gues and those of Westphalia and Vienna to which he appeals as precedents. He seta out from the postulate that there is no legal basis of right in Europe, and that the public law is to be remade in accordance with " the rights of sovereigns and " the legitimate aspirations of peoples." Bet these are the very things which have in all are been most vehemently disputed, and which battles have been fought to decide ; and if a European Congress is to meet and discuss these exciting topics, it ought to be with something more then a bare possibility that • peaceful solution may be attained. The EMPEROR intimates that his own romantic personal history is in some sense a guarantee of his respect for the rights of sovereigns and the legitimate aspirations of the people, sad that be has been taught moderation and justice by adversity. The world—including the people of Rome and Mexico—must judge of the justice of this claim. The EMPEROR further states that as he is the Sovereign to whom, more than toany other, ambitious projects are attributed, he makes this proposal as a pledge of the thoroughly pacific cha racter of his policy and aims. We have no disposition to criticise words and dissect phrases. The proposal now before the Courts of Europe is a serious one, and must be judged by its relation to facts. Foremost among them stands the character of its author. And surely it is a most significant fact that the author of this proposition is the potentate who broke up the long pesos of Europe, and deliberately pro voked the sanguinary Russian and Italian wars. It is further significant that in making this overture he, the seer who fulfils his own prophecies, sets out affirming the existence of adanger of which be only has the secret, and ends with a threat. It is not without reason that the Ewritioa spoke of giving pledges of his pacific desires, but then such pledgee are never required of really peaceful Sovereigns. If, however, the proposition were one which, con sidered in all its bearings, tended to peace, it would THE '.XPRESS, . THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMB, be right and wise to entertain it withonskesjudice and in a spirit of generous oonfideise. We regret that we are unable to see anythiag ia the prospect of the proposed meeting to counterbalance the evident dangers which must attend it. It is of evil omen that the Estreroa puts forward an exclusively French—perhaps it would be more proper to say Bonapartist—idea as the basis of the Con gress. "The Treaties of Vienna are at an end." To make good that proposition was the mission which Louis Nsroixox avowed when he stood' a prisoner before the Chamber of Peers. "But " the settlement of 1815," it has been truly ob served, "instead of being broken and overthrown " as the EMPEROR declares, has been the basis of " every transaction which has since taken place in " Europe ; it embodied a great multitude of " arrangements which are as firm now as when " they were first made ; and there are few Euro " peen Powers to which it is not at this moment " one of the most important title-deeds by which " they bold some part of their possessions." We in England have no especial reason for being fond of the Treaties of 1815. There is much in them to which English Liberals have at all times objected, and the amendment of which they have required. But that is no reason why we should pave the way for ambition by declaring the only public law of Europe abrogated. We are told that there are legitimate aspirations of the people to be satisfied. Well, at Paris it is thought that the aspiration of Frenchmen for the frontier of the Rhine is a legitimate one, while the aspirations of the Romans to govern themselves and choose their own ruler, as France has done, are illegitimate. Again, it is thought at Paris a permissible thing to invade a foreign state, seise its capital, and instal a French lieutenancy in place of the native Government, while in most countries such an act is regarded as iniquitous. These instances show what different modes of thought prevail with reference to affairs of the day, differences which would be certain to make their appearance in the de liberationa of • Congress. It is true there are many unsettled questions in Europe. New difficul ties will inevitably arise from time to time, and must be dealt with as they appear. But • Con gress offers no peculiar advantages for dealing with them, although after resolutions have been arrived at by separate negotiation, it is in a Congress that they receive form and become public law. Under certain circumstances, such as the EMPEROR has described, but which we should be sorry to believe were those of to-day, a Congress is the surest means of accelerating war. To call • Congress, declare the public law of Europe repealed, and throw on the table a number of unsettled questions, revers' of them involving new distributions of territory, the lords of which have no intention of submitting to the au thority, or placing their property at the disposal, of their neighbours, is in effect gambling with the peace of the world. ebt Court.

LATEST INTELLIGEAE. THE OONGRESS. It is generally understood that the answer of the English government to the Emperor Napoleon's invitation to a congress is an inquiry as to the precise topics to be discussed and the exact ends to be compassed. As the invitations extend to so many powers, it would seem that • series of ques tions will be opened. When the Emperor particu larises the questions which it is his intention to submit to Europe, it will be the duty of the British government to judge whether these can be advan tageously discussed, and whether the decision of the congress can be in any way enforced against a recusant power. "It would, of course, be highly unreasonable," says the Times, " if Napoleon should expect Queen Victoria to send • representative to Paris to discuss things in general, as they do at the Social Science Association." A Paris letter in the Journal du Barre says The representatives of the power resident in Paris have been informed that M. Drove de Lbuys is engaged in draw ing ups. explanatory document, comprising the programme of the different questions which the Emperor intends to submit to the Congress. It is only, as is generally believed, after the delivery of that document to the different govern ments that the latter will reply to the invitation of Napo leon 111. Meantime, so little doubt appears to be felt in high edmiaistrative regions of the realisation of the ems- grew, that the quest i on of residence k already wider consideration.

The Grand Duke, being convinced by the conti nual increase of the insurrection in Poland of the incompatibility between the condi tion of affairs in that country and the feelings of goodwill for its pacification, which induced the Emperor to entrust him with carrying into opera tion the institutions which had been decreed, the Emperor consents to relieve the Grand Duke of his functions as lieutenant and commander-in-chief iu Poland, and trusts that after the re-establishment of order he will resume his task.

(nom ous owi PARIS, WIDNICBDAY ERRING. / and Pays have both received instructions to anticipate the failure of the pro posal for a congress ; and they argue, in almost identical terms, that Europe alone will be disgraced and injured by the refusal of the Emperor's mag nanimous and disinterested offer ; and that, in any event, France will have gained a moral triumph, and may fold her arms with a sense of conscious superiority. They lay themselves out to rebut the inference which the public generally inclines to draw from the imperial speech, that in default of a congress there must be war. The Emperor does not say, they are ordered to observe, that if you do not come into a congress, "I will make war ; " but that if you reject the panacea which his infinite wisdom has provided for you, your calamity will be on your own head ; "the war which he does not wish but foresees" will be constantly hanging over you, and he will have relieved his soul from all responsibility for it. The aim of these aeticles is to serve the immediate purpose of mitigating the alarm of the Bourse. If they are, in a larger sense, well founded, they tend to confirm the views of those who from the first interpreted the speech as pacific upon the assumption that the proposal for a congress was not serious, but only an expedient and a jack olanthorn diversion. It will not do, however, to trust to this construction. All the powers of Eu rope will now more than ever keep their hands on the hilt of the sword, and augment those argu ments which the speech so unctuously desires to see diminished. In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif yesterday, the only incident worthy of remark was that Vice- President Schneider, who was in the chair, in the absence of the Duke de Morny, gave a proof of presidential impartiality, in response to the conci liatory professions of M. 011ivier on the part of the opposition. M. Marie objected to the confirmation of the election of Baron de Bussiete for the Bas-Rhin, on the ground that there was a serious question whe ther he was not disqualified as a paid public func tionary, since he was a director of the Mint. M. Granier de Cassagnac roughly exclaimed that M. Marie had no right to change the order of the day, and that the case, being on the paper, must be gone on with. But the chairman said that it was a matter of good faith. He could not deny what M. Marie said, that only uncontested elections were understood to be on the order of the day, and therefore be was of opinion that tbis case mast be adjourned, and the chamber so decided. The chamber has got on much faster than was expected with the unopposed elections, and, instead of the debates on the contested ones being delayed till November 24 as was expected, it is very likely that some serious discussion may begin to-morrow, and perhaps even to-day. It is understood that the government is prepared in some half down very gross cases to sacrifice their candi dates. K Ourd, of Bordeaux, will surely go to the wall. The Temps ventures to say that government will be " neutral" as to all the elections, but I think this is goings little too far. The chamber has, however, shown itself already so complacent that it may well be trusted to a great extent. A variety of illegal acts have already been passed over as peccadiloes, "regrettable" if you will, but not worthy to influence the result of an elec tion. The law says that the poll is to be opened at 8 o'clock in the morning ; in many cases the mayors opened it at 5, in order to steal a march upon the opposition electors, and form the bureau exclusively of government partisans. The law says that the ballot-box must have two keys, and be kept scrupulously closed. A case was proved in which there was but one key, and the mayor kept the box wide open. In these W. I. N 224 D.

About a month ago a man died in Delamere Forget, Cheshire, under circumstances which were thought to be very suspicions at the time, and the popular feeling has been strengthened by the recent offer of • reward of 1004 by the government for the discovery of the @apposed murderer. So far as we can gather them, the facts ap pear to bees follow :—A labourer, named William Han sa, aged 56 years, • strong mao, lived at Mosley Brook, on Delamere Forest. He had once been is • better stake in life, and thee hie wife, who has been dead two years, eared a little money , which was deposited to th e Savings Bank. On Friday the 10th October, Hassell went to Northwich and drew U. from the Savings Bask. On his return home he turgid in to • public-house is the Forest, known as the Cabbage, whore he met • nun amid Fryer, and three brothers Naylor. Elwell treated them to some ale, and when the party left the house at ten o'clock, several of them were " fresh in drink." Rama did not return home that night, but between five and six o'clock the next morning he was found io • stable belonging to a farm, not very far from hie own hoar. He bad been severely braised, as if by kicks, upon the thighs, abdomen, and face ; and his throat had been tare by ' 1103110 blunt instrument. He had lost a great quanity of blood, but there was no blood in the stable. Hs we taken home is • cart, and on the way, and antral timer subsequently, be slated that be had bees ill-used by three mom at Hurray's Land End. He said some one came behind him, and gave him a blow which made him insensible, before the wounds were twitted on his cheek. Os the M onde y night he said he should not get better, and on the following morning (the 13th ult.) he died. On Wednesday, the 14th ult., an inquest was opened by Mr. H. Murton, the coroner, and was adjourned for a week, to afford the police time for inquiry, and in order that a post mortem examination might be made. About the time the adjourned inquest was held, and some eight or nine days after the man died, examination was made of the spot to which he had referred as the scene of the assault. Notwithstanding the heavy rain that had fallen in the meantime, blood was found in the soil and on some stones, which upon analysis was seen to be human blood. A man who lives io the neighbourhood then stated that on the Saturday morning he bad uoticed footmarks in the same place, as if • great struggle had occurred there. At the adjourned inquest, Mr. W. H. Chorton, son of the coroner, watched the case is the interest of one of the Naylor., the only one of the three who attetded the inquiry. Naylor said that he misted the deceased to the stable. and told him to lie there until the morning. There is a public house on the opposite side of the reed, but neither there ace at the farmhouse did Naylor give any information. The stable-man who &nod the deceased said there was a eat is the double stall in which Flaaaall lay. The surgeon who made the port mortem examinatioo mid death had been caused by a rupture of the bladder and that the is juries received by Hassell could not have been inflicted ' by the colt. The deceased's daughter said her father returned with 41. 10.. did. • and es he must have spent about 10a. on the road, robbery was evidently not the motive of the murderous attack upon him. The 00f0001' declined to take the evidence of the man to whom the deceased made several stetements while he wee dying, and expressed his opinion that the injuries were received is the stable. The jury, however, thought otherwise, and returned as their verdict, "That William Hassell died from injuries inflicted by some person or per son, unknown, before he entered the stable in which he was found." The suspicion being very strong that the verdict of the jury was a correct one, a few days ago the govern ment offered a reward of 100/. for information which would lead to the discovery of the offender. It is bobs hoped that the reward may have the desired adept SERIOUS ILLNESS Or MR.

This morning, Sir James Wilde gave judgment on the motion of the Queen's Advocate for • rule nisi. The nit had originally been brought by Capt. Scott for • restiertice of his conjugal rights ; and the answer of Bra. Scott me that he had been guilty of acts which satisfied the legal d► finition of cruelty. This was the only gumshoe in the ONO. It was tried before Sir Creswell Creswell and a me, Dial jury, and the result had ben a verdict for the husband, which the court was askei to eel aside on the ground that it bad bus spied the weight of evidence. It was a very 11116008 re sponsibility which he (Sir James) was invited to memos. Of ell the questions that the legislature had submitted to the determination of a jury none approached in difficulty to those which arose out of quarrels between husband en wife. They were questions which could receive little elan. dating from documentary evidence ; and the time which married penons spout in quarrelling being' rarely the mod public, there was very little extt•nom evidence at all which could apply to it. If a witness were called it was generally. servant ; and mean were often embued with the spirit of parthasehip as the one side or the other. It was, thereferig, ehiedy la the ea dibility of the parties themselves, sad their deeseamer before the court, that they most seek far materials to which to form • &Mean.

No element wen so d► droetive of public confidence in the admininstia of jerkin at macertainty ; and within wee felt to be m great • grievance to suitors sea result which snatched say . the fruit of their gnome at the very moment of its near meat. The court, it mod be remembered, too, did mot u• mein the fuoctions of • mere appeal from the jury. It mat see its way plainly, and be satisfied with tolerable mastery that there had been • miscarriage of justice. Failing that, it must accept the verdict as correct. In this case the was' had at fiat lived together on satisfactory terms, then they quarrelled, and at lest they had become completely *stemmed. The chief foundation of these diagraming was one discreditable to the husband ; for it appeared to te greed of his wife's moon and of the money of he wife's mother. He alleged, however, another came—though that was denied by the wile—nainely,:that she had dread herself in a manner which he considered extravagant end unbecoming ; and that there had also been frequent inter ventiona on the part of Mrs. Morris, the mother•in lee years of such married life had produced a long record of injurious words, and of violent and unmanly deeds, from which it had not been difficult for the Quees's Advocate to paint the conduct of the husband is very unamiable colours ; but, on the other band, it was pro bible that ► liken= of the lady, drawn by an adverse head, would not have been much more attractive. The pontim seta of violence complained of were six, and no mote--1, beating a child after marriage before its mother in as suer save and cruel manner ; 2, threatening to shoot her with a pistol ; 3, giving her an unprovoked blow ea the legs walla stick, ►t Inverness ; 4, giving her three blows at Samna ; 5, twisting a piece of velvet round her throat, at Edioberth; and, 6, giving her • blow on the face woes she refused to leave the window in London. All taw one rested on the evidence of the wife alone, and they were all absolutely denied by the evidence of the hued, who said that some of them were altogether lumina. sal other pose exaggerations. The wife's evidence re cm' tradicted in some pinata by independent wanner., ad the husband had also given general evidence as to hit cadet Captain Scott bad, therefore, presented a nee to the lei which was well deserving of their attention ; and d the/ bad thought proper to believe him, who could assert that they ought to have believed his wife ?

In her owe evidence Mei. Scott not coil denied that he had ewer made complaint, on the subject. but stated that he had threatened not to walk out with her unless she ends herself more smart. The point, it we true, was not a very important one, but it might have bad its effect upon the minds of the jury. At any rats the court must decline to interfere with the verdict. It might be that he (Sir J. Wilde) " affirm* a conclusion that wee erroneous, but the earn might have been said if the opposite result bad been ar. need at. He felt bound to accept the decision which had been arrived at by the jury, after a long and patient tru4 under the guidance of a most learned and impartial judge. Rule Ma refused. DOULTING T. BOULTINIL—NEW TRIAL. This wee • moan for a new trial, on the ground of mil• direction, and of the verdict being against evidence. The parties bed lived apart, the husband making the wife a weekly allowance; and the jury had found coonivance, on the ground that the wife had continued to receive the ma , / after she had hoed that the respondent was being we another woman. Sir J. Wilde said that be was perfectly atisfied with Sir Cresswell's definition of connivance itself ; but as he was not sniffled that the evideuce had bees aulticien to support the plea, there must a rule nisi.
