Loin Cowin; as British Ambassador in Paris, is entitled ex 414.4 to a seat is the Cent rum iatended to be held them; and there are those who seem to be so insensible to the politics this sommery ought to occupy, if present at all at such as omamir bly, as seriously to dream that no other imprimis tion of its moral greatness is requisite than that which his =imposerse lordship may supply.

All the *thee great Power" will mercies their customary privilege to seed delegates in duplicate. On all former occasions we have done SO too. Lord CAMS atatiti was not at Paris many days is 1814 until be wrote urgently to Lord Livearoot., suggesting that the Liberator of the Peninaula, then at the zenith of lie fame, should be sent as Ambassador to Frame, on the epeeist ground that, to fill adequately the great part England had to play in • European Cooper she ought to resort to the highest ability at her disposal. Yet, assuredly, never was there a man more habitually sell-reliant than that Tory statesman, and of modern times did the arbitration of England seem to stand in so little need of personal qualities to enforce its claims to deference as at that triumphant moment. Bat whatever may have been his faults, Lord CAITLE&IAOH WY animated with a truly statesmanlike oonseimanese of what was due to the honour and dignity of England; ha we. wholly free from jealousy or meanness; and when at • subsequent period it became necessary aga!u to consider who should be sent as British Minister to the Congress of Verona, he again pressed the (Ace upon the Duke of WELLINGTON, and for the same reasons that bad actuated him in 1814. Bet we need not multiply instances; nee mood we ask, if Lord CAKTLIREAGII was fain to seek the aid of the first man of his time, whether Lard COWLIT ought to be left wit bout some better help than such as his own commonplace intellect can furnish him. His past adventures, however praiseworthy for their diligesoe, have certainly not bees illustrated by success. Of all the mistakes made in the unhappy affair of the Conspiracy 818, Done was more deliberate, signal, or inconceivable than the feeble letter which he wrote for the purpose of retrieving the blunders of Deeming -street. No one who remembers the state of n►tional feeling at the time, and the terms of that untoward epistle, can entertain the idea seriously that Lard Cort.ze com prehend' what =acme of spirit we are of as a nation. Equally anaustreed is dignity and abor tive is its resells was his mission last spring to Vienna, not ao the envoy of Queen VICTORIA, but of NAPOLEON 111. After a week spent in the inter change of vague and equivocal generalities in the Austrian capital, the Earl returned to Paris only to be superciliously told that, not supposing it likely he would be &scornful is his mansion, hie French employer had sent to St. Petersburg to hare the matter there arranged. Is this the Dort of man to whom, unsupported, we are to confide the vindication among jealous equals of our just it. ttuenoe and authority as the Bristol the free nations of the world Better tar not be repre sented at al!, than be under-represented so egregiously. Ir is to be feared that the lour Liverpool asr chants who could write directly to NAPOLION " to knnw what were lie intentions er reguds " Reglited," have net the wit to perceive, ear the sensibility to feel, the biting irony of the reply they here draw. from M. llocticnan.

The heir Liverpool merchants are not the &et Englishmen who in the presumed interests of pease have addressed a foreign potentate supposed Mester tain designs inimical to their country. It will be remembered that on the ere of the Romian wet. Mr. FUSE, in a most patriotic manner, took on himself the enormous inconvenience of a wintra's journey to St. Petersburg, in order to make such representations to the CZAR as might, he hoped, avert wart his *reed* ronfiaisee" was honourable and honoured, because it was not united with *UM graade eraile4." If the Four Merchants have any English blood in their veins, we hope their cheeks have tingled by this time at the reproach with which M. Moo: asp aineludes, as he had begun his letter—" Great nations should reaped, not fear each other." Our Paris contemporaries, whose keen sense of the ridiculous has been sharpened in the school of VOLTAIRE, find this Liverpool question a choice morsel. If its author had confidence in the EMPEROR why did they ask whether he was about wantonly to invade a peaceful land ? If they had none, what satisfaction did they suppose they could derive from hi. renewed assurance.? Oar contemporary the Mariclerster Guardia. haa published an explanation of the conduct of these merchants which saves the credit of their sober sense at the expense of common propriety. Their letter, it is said, was writ ten on a spirt one day after dinner. It msy be ser viceable to jokers of this clam to remind them that the oorreepoadeami of private individuals with fereiga Sovereigns it & matter of which the ATTOR mirr-Ozingm may take note in a very disagreeable maw. M. MOOQUAIeIIISMAT is worthy of a more honour able occasion. It is short, simple, and dignified. The writer is not prodigal of sentimental professions. He simply points to the peat conduct of the EMPEROR, claims for him the character of a faithfal sad irreproachable ally, and adds, by his Mauterr's special command, that what he has been he wishes still to be. If this is not enough, there is no more to be said. The justice of the appeal to past expr thence will be admitted. As long as M. MocQusitD madam himself to explaining the disposition of the Itsraum, he is admirable; when he proses& to impress an opinion respecting the " imaginary diatoms" which hay attacked this country " with the rapidity of an epidemic," he is lam sure of his ground. If France were in a eme tics' so exposed that any of her citizens could not sleep without inquiring on the other side of the frostier whether they might do so in safety, W. MOCQUA.RD wend be among the drat to demand that his country inlaid be made self-defensive. Bat he attributes too sent impertasse to the silly things white have tows! their way into the newspapers, in the speschn delivered by super-heated orators at the formation of some of our rifle corps. A popular movement cannot be carried on with the measured gravity of a Congress. W hen the en thusiastic Rings makes a patriotic speech at a rifle• seeps meeting, and anticipates the day when he and his eisarades shall drive the presumptuous invader bark Into the waves, he simply means that ►e has sot taken to soldiering as a pattime, but shall be ready when wanted. He does not so much pan a judgment on a foreign potentate as on his own government. Apprehensions of invasion are not so rife in England as M. MOCQUARD assumes is his letter. Englishmen do not judge France by the ravings of MM. VEUILLOT and JOURDAN ; sad Frenchmen know very well that our estimate of their dispositiou towards us does not veer about aseerding to the caprice of the Times. Both is England and in France there is, we believe, a re serve of common sense and a profound conviction of the commuoity of interest between the two countries strong enough to recall to reason the Government of either whenever patina may tempt them into a false position. But while this is oar firm belief and trust, we cannot promise M. Mocausinn or his master that the grand movement which has attracted their atten tion will be relinquished, or its vigour in the least degree relaxed. If great nations are made to re upset one another, it is essentially important that their position should be such as to cammand respect. Oar rifle corps and other defensive preparations 'apply a national want, quite irrespective of those excellent sentiments which M. MoCCWARD, with an earnestness which does him bossier. loves to claim for his master. We can not, with a dna regard to our enormous interests, live on the personal sentiments of any ally, however faithful and irreproachable ; and we must sot be asked—we are sure we shall not be asked—to desist from the indispensable work of adapting our internal and external means of defence to the altered eireumstances in which dm progress of gunnery and the use of steam in the navy has placed our 'horn. Mean suspicions are the off.pring of weakness, and it is certain that the English nation will be in a much more favourable position for doing justice to Fiance and her EMPEROR when prudent preparations have enabled it to &maim all doubt as to its sufficiency far its own defence.

The Madriiijoarnals of the lat state that the last accounts tram Morocco est forth that the Moore and Spaniard+, after the combat of the 30th alt., re mained within throe-guinea of a league of each other, but that the Moors had taken up a strong position on some heights. Another detachment of 73 wounded had arrived at Algesiras. The despatch of troops from Spain to Morocco was continuing. The /barns states that several foreign officers had obtained permission to serve in the army in Atrial. The Gazette publishes another set of addresses to the Queen from the bishops and chapter. expressing approbation of the war. The number of Moors who attacked &rano on the 22nd alt. is estimated at about 14,000. They left more than 500 dead on the field of battle. The loss of the Spaniards amounted to 30 men put hors de combat. Private letters state that the Moors had 1,000 killed in the affair of the 25th. On the side of the Spaniard', the battalion of Chasseura of Madrid particularly suffered, and lost its colonel and several of its officers. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th says : Private letters from the Spanish camp in Afrioa represent the action of the 25th' as more orlon., and the loss of the Spanish army as much more ooasiderable than the published amount admits. The loss fell chiefly, it is said, on She three battalions ordered by General Munee to sally from the In trenched position and charge the Moors.

The prosecution is put a stop to by an ordonnanee de •non Au, on the ground that his pamphlet was seized before publication. Of course a new prosecution may, and in all likelihood will, be instituted if the author shall proceed to publish his work in Paris. Meanwhile the copies that were seized have been retuned to M. de Girardin. The public is much indebted to him for having practically established that, even in matters concerning the press, decency requires some attention to legality. I understand that the prosecution against M. About, whose Question Romaine wu confiscated without any intention of going further, is now to proceed. There is a thaw to-day in Paris, with a soft south wind. The Nord of Brussels was sized to-day. Cardinal Wiseman nu arrived in Paris.

A Venice letter of the 2nd, in the fiord of Brussels, gives a lamentable account of the situa tion of that province. Trade and industry are described as being at an end : and the expense el lodging the troops has completed the disastrous posi tion of the inhabitants. Formerly the troops were concentrated in the towns and fortresses, but since the war they are spread over the country also. Country mansions and farm. houses have been converted into barracks, and the communes have to pay the met. A notice from the superior authorities, to which a retroactive effect as far back as the let ha. has been given, declares that the government will only pay the communes the expense of soldiers' " lodgings on the footing of troops on the march, and not of troops in garrison." This last act, it is stated, has completed the financial discomfiture of all the Venetian communes. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova owl' PARIS, MONDAY Evrmngo. The Pays says there is now no longer any doubt that Paris is the city selected for the meeting of the Congress. Although this fact has been taken for granted for a long time, I remarked apes the ab sence of the mention of any specific place when the Congress was announced by the ifoisiteur, and the present statement leads to the inference that up to the present time the matter was not absolutely car fain. The Pays farther says that "at present,' January 6is the day fixed for the meeting. It also announces that the English government boa accepted the Invitation sent to it, and that Lord Cowley will be the first plenipotentiary of Great Britain. The Petrie states that not only England, but most of the other powers have sent in their an swers, and this news was also current at the Bourse, The Russian answer cannot be received for some days to come; despatches of this kind must of neces sity be sent by hand and not by telegraph. The telegram of yesterday from Turin, stating that all difficulties between Piedmont and Tuscany relative to M. Buoncompagni's regency had been settled, was premature, at least so says the Pays, which, at the same time, expresses the opinion that " the difficulties will probably be arranged,although no definitive solution has yet been C9OlO to." A despatch from Florence announcing the convocation of the Tuscan assembly seems to indicate that M. Ricasoli, firmly resolved not exceed his powers, is about to consult that assembly in order to confirm the agreement made by M. Parnetti, at Turin. Should M. Buoncompagni ultimately assume the reins of power in all the four states of Central Italy, this curious state of things will result that any discontented parties in Modena, Farms, and Romagna will be able to cite the opinion and the conduct of Tuscany in support of the proposition that his regency or governorship (whichever it is to be) is illegal in those three pro vinces, for want of the consent of their respective assemblies; and at the same time M. Ricasoli, while incurring some odium and displaying much courage, will have followed a regular and legal course, with soother object than that of attaining the same end which the three states to be incorporated with Tuscany will have acquiesced in, though acoom plished in their cue loosely, and by less scrupulous means. The Pays, speaking of the important step taken by Governor Parini towards the annexation of Modena, Puma, and Romagna to Pied- mont, sneeringly says that he " preferred huts to good speed." It also pronounces very strongly against the idea of Count di Cavour being the Sardinian plenipotentiary in the congress, opining that " whoa after the prelimi naries of Villafranca this statesman resigned, he assumed an attitude incompatible with his taking part in deliberations of which those preliminaries are to be the bailie, since he is, in consistency, neces sarily bound to oppose them." Thus you see that down to this hour Count Wslewski's organ osten tatiously nails it. colours to the mast of Villafranca ; and yet there are many people who will not allow it to be questioned that France and England are quite agreed that the disastrous stipulations then made are not to be carried into rff.ct.
