IL At alliance between Frazee sad Spain against Morocco--or, at any rate, a war eimultansoutly threatened by both those Powers gable her—is by no means reassuring to Great Brittle. It is felt that' France has no appreciable pretext for such a war ; and that although Spain may have had • pretext, nevertheless the Government of Morocco has evinced a :dispoeitioa to r.deese the grievanese of Spain, which ought to preclude the Cabinet of Madrid from • resod to hostilities. This country is always jealous of ware waged without adequate saucers. When England perceives a war to be entered into upon insignificant and almost illusory groanle,"ll Of coarse concludes that there WO motives foe sash a war which are held in the background. This couatry has a threefold interest in the indepeadenee OT SOlfZlLlify of the territories which command the entrance to the :Mediterranean. There la the Rook of Gibraltar; then there are oar dependencies of Malta and the lonian Islands; and, finally, awe is a third British interest of still more vital import, connected with our power on the Rock and in the Straits, and now yearly rising in force—our com munications with India by way of Alexandria. We are reminded of this third consideration by what is perhaps the simple coincidence of the audience just granted at Paris by the Emperor of the Favicti to M. DE Lustre and his eaiteagaea, who are identified with the project of the Sees Canal, which the British Government has, under every Ministry, firmly and consistently opposed. And, without committing ourselves to any view of the actual motives of the French and Spanish Governments, we cannot beget that the acquisition of influence along the seaboard of the :Mediterranean has been pe eraineatly •s !die AapolefenWeese. Nor is it leav certain that, daring the last few years, the Mass. of France along that seaboard, both in the Levant and the Western Mediterranean, has attained an extraordinary development. The late Italian war has just produced that ttfeet so far u the meats of Italy are concerned, and nearly the mane any be said at Constantinople, at Alexandria, and in Algeria ; while the French navy has wily is. creased. We can hardly, perhspe, blame the French for taking advantage of recent years, in which we have been too supine to keep pace with them. But it is clear that Great Britain has three distinct In tonate at stake in a war waged by France and Spain against Morocco, which it must be her duty to watch with anxious care. Five French steam-frigates are reported to have just sailed from Totdot, for the cooveysace of French troops against Morocco ; the Spanish prepa ration have been made with opal determination sad Marshal O . I)ONNILL homily announced on Friday last the withdrawal of the Spanish Consul from Tangiers. This last event approve to preen& further negotiation. In regard to Spain, why is Cl'HuNsi.t . in such extravagant haste fee the commesoment of hostilities ? His grievance, each as it is, is a area= ow. Tet he takes the opporta- city fee was just ea the old Emperor I. deed, and the sew Emmet is straggling for his authority against • heath' faction in his own dominions. He does so, toe, in disregard of the diplomatic interpo sition of the British Government, who have this extessedissry algid upon the Court of Madrid, that they gsarainsti the Spanish monarchy. A Spanish ministry, ass would may, would hardly ponds in this course without nine powerful backers from without. Indeed. a was between Spain sad Maresso le an event almost without procadist in eiders times, while the grievance is of perpetual standing, We cannot therefore understand the adoption oleo\ • coon at this moment, in spite cot only of the media:toe of this country, but of the conciliatory disposition of Morocco itself. What the real griev ance of Spain spinet Morocco is, we have lately stated at Werth. It may be briefly recapitulated to be that certain small bands of lawless Moore have made petty attacks upon the Spanish town of Civic on the Africa& coast of the Straits ; 11.1 though Spain has a right to lionhoad that the shall not be subjected to this aasayancie from a professedly friendly power, it appears that the :Joi of life sustained in these en counters has not exceeded on or two sentries at a tide. No Mabometan Guerin:sent has ever yet maintaised such i tfotive secularintion as to coerce all its wandering t nbes on the verge of its dominions. The Court of TitLan has frankly confessed its inc*- potty to restrain these bandits, but has shown every dieposition to do so. The organs of the French Government, en the other hand, pretend that these tittle detachments of Moors make excursions into its Algerian territeri.e; bet there is no evidence or owensty of the fact, and it is strange that the com plaint Amid °Cy have been wade coincidently with the reeoiut ion of Nnin to &vans these petty attacks oe Ceuta. Hut eta ranting that all is u a/laged, t3o du Fritsch and Spanish tiontrotausta molly Woes, that they would redress the grievance by the opt. Minas elven th. y design f If a French army esters Moreno from Algvne by land and deflate the melee troops at that State, in a general action, will that defeat reduce the Moorish bandits to estate of subordination? On the contrary, it will redeem the power of the Court of Tetuan to restore order. Again, if the combined scinadrons of France and Spain should bombard Tangiers and Ifogador, will the destruction of life and property in those ports oppress the robbers who come down from the hills round Cents to fire shots at the Spanish sentries. It would be much better that Spain and Morocco should undertake the chastisement of these robbers by a local expedition from Ceuta, formed of a small force from either State. It surely would never be tolerated that Russia should go to war with Turkey because a few wandering Arabs should happen to approach Tillie and occasionally shoot a Russian sentry. But with regard to France, no pretext for hostilities hoe ever been substantiated; and we are in the position of spectators of a war predetermined on the most frivolous pretences against a State with the independence of which our Mediterranean inte rests us closely associated. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1869. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN AND MOROCCO.-DECLARATION OF WAR. MADRID, OCT. 22. Government has declared to the Cortex, in the sitting of to-day, that it was going to begin war with Morocco. This declaration was received with great enthusimm. All political parties, the Senate and the Congress, have offered their sapport to the Ministry. The article* of the newspapers express the same patriotic feeling. MADRID, Om W. The Corrorpondemeia Autografa announce* that the corps d'armeo destined for operations in Africa will most likely be organised about the middle of this week, when General O'Donnell will take his departure. The same Correspondencia says :—" We do not yet know if the Spanish consul at Tangiers has arrived in Spain." THE RUMOURED IMPERIAL INTERVIEW. BRESLAU, Ocr. 22. . _ It is smelted that the Emperor of Ruda will not proceed to the Austrian frontier, and likewise that his Majesty will not have an interview with the Emperor of Austria. His Royal Righnee the Prince Regent of Prussia and the other Royal Princes proceed early to-morrow morning to Ohlan to meet the Emperor Alexander. RUSSIA. BT. PETERSBURG, OCT. 20. The news of an intended interview between the Cour and the Emperor of Austria is without ibundation. RETURN OF THE POPE TO ROME. ROWS, Ocr. 20. . _ _ His Holiness the Pops returned to Room this morning. A great crowd was assembled on his pas sage through the city. THE ILLNESS OF THE AUSTRIAN PLENIPOTENTIARY. ZURICH, Ocr. 21. Count Colloredo has not been restored to con sciousness. His physicians have lost all hopes of his recovery. RESIGNATION OF BARON HUBNER. VIENNA, Ocr. 22. . _ The Austrian Gazette says:—" Baron von Hubner, Minister of Police, has tendered his resignation, and the same has been accepted. Baron Thierry, timid councillor in the Department for Foreign Affairs, has been appointed Minister of Police in his place. The new minister has summoned the editors of the diffirent newspapers to his office, and hi , notified to them in • friendly manner that the ministerial programme of August last has been modified. The retirement of General and Aide-de-Camp Count Gtunne is also announced. PRUSSIA. It is feared that the grand proposed torchlight procession, which the students and guilds had in tended for the 9th of November, the eve of the great national festival in honour of the 100th anni versary of the birth of Schiller, will not take place. The President of the Police his put his veto upon it. An appeal to Count Schwerin has also proved fruitless. The reason for this is, that it is feared the opportunity might be taken advantage of to make a democratic demonstration. Great pmparations are being made for the festival in all the capitals and towns of Germany. TRADE AND FLNANCE. (From the Asily News.) Tux events of the past week, political and finan cial, have, upon the whole, been of a character to strengthen the hops of a commercial revival. The Conferences at Zurich may not have accompliehed much towards the permanent settlement of the ques tions connected with the state of ltaly—tnestious which, since the despatch of French troops to Rome, eleven years ago, have impressed every sagacious observer with an uneasy sense of the precarionnees of tranquillity in Europe ; but the announcement made on Monday last, that the instrument which places on solemn record the preli m i nar i es o f places on solemn record the preliminarie. of Villafranca has been signed per procuration by the two principals in the recent fray, hen inspired more confidence in many persons who, patting little faith iu princes, waited anxiously for the formal proclamation of paten I True, the event bona not been followed by say earthe n/it speculative outburst ; but there is a quiet sz gmeniem of satisfaction—a sensation of relief—in neamsaile e.ireles, which will rte long have its effect ups the statistics of trade. A sudden expulsion of is not to be looked for, simply because, tY sited by as last week prove, the extent of Ihs Weer already in progress is fairly satisfactory. Thus is, happily, not the same room for improve ment se there would have been had our merchants eUd manufacturers been kept idle for months put, Waging with alternate hope and fear upon each latheation from Zurich. No matter what Ow on there, we have had oar hands piety well etwupied with attending to the Winn of NW Asiatic, Australian, and Amo ebas enehnneen The inherent elasticity of our teeseeseemis and simnel trade places us to a great eziest beyond the seep of those adverse political la- Ihrsees by which the commercial prosperity of the Continent has of late been seriously impaired. France, Germany, and other countries which depend chiefly upon the profits of their internal industry rather than upon foreign commerce, have been placed at a far greater relative disadvantage. We may reasonably assume that se soon as their repressed energies are again called into active play we shall benefit almost as much as they will. The question which awaits solution is—will the industry of the Continent revive at the joint bidding of the two EnPaltolts A little time must be allowed before • definitive sawyer can be gathered. The last re turn of the Bank of Fran., indicated a outs!, ic eman of commercial !minces, together with a with drawal of a couple of millions sterling from the mem of spent, the inordinate accumulation of which hoe formed one of the most striking evidenoee of stage*. tion. The transactions of some of the other grad financial establishments in France have also, it is • mid, increased its extent during the last few weeks. The official returns of the revenue from the French Customs, however, are not particularly encouraging, teethe total Ste the first nine months of the present 1 307. aal to 6,690,0001. sterlin g — was only Trl ll more than in the corresponding nine months of last year, when the paralysing effects of the great crisis were still felt. The Customs revenue for last month (September) presented a still lees favourable comparison, the total, 807.0001., bring 11,000 E ilea than in September, 1868, and 60,0001. lees than in September, 1867. It is not so mach the entail war-drain that has weighed upon French enterprise, as the bar of what the morrow may bring forth. The commesity have apparently not attempted to utilise the light afforded by recent events, by glancing back at the previous manifests tioos of NAPOLEON'S policy, both in his presidential and his Imperial career. They have not taken the trouble to mark the steady growth of the antagonism between France and Austrian Italy. The Rubicon may have been realty crossed when the French troops first landed at Civita Vecchia eleven years ago • and from that date to the present the solution of the Italian difficulty by means of war may have been only • question of time ; yet commercial men, seeing little beyond their ledgers, are aghast when the explosion occurs, remain obstinately incredulous when amused that peace is restored, and refuse to cocinde spin in a system under which, so far as their narrow observation goes, a period of three menthe may suffice at any time for a transition frees a state of peace to a European conflagration. What has happened recently, argue commercial cor =dents to France and elsewhere, may happen So it may ; for no one can feel really safe nieder • r,yens wherein the deliberative voice of the isimitrial classes is stifled ; and yet, to cherish an emeggurated notion of our liability to similar die. apaisattle surprises in the future is mischievous in the exteimie. The excess of caution and suspicion now wit. teemed will probably work its own core. The French Gefeeenanent jut now cannot build a gun-boat, equip • teanipset e or despatch a naval squadron for its !m -aligned elamele, without • DOES of fear being seandled in same quarter. Even the armament which degenerate Spain is ostentatiously preparing to launch against • dusky potentate on the opposite coast of the Mediterranean is viewed with segue sus picions. Men's minds cannot be kept permanently in this state of tension ; and there is ground to believe that after the sentiment of distrust, now so common, shall have been succeeded by the inevitable reaction, the alarmists of to-day will be those who Imill be caxght sleeping when danger really ap ' roaches. Amongst the hopeful features of the past week has been an increased demand on the part of the monied public for good investments. The British funds, the new Indian Loan, the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, Indian railway shares, India Bonds, Exchequer Bills, British railway stocks, in cludieg the preferential and guaranteed descriptions, colonial government bonds, braxilian railway shares. and sundry other securities, have been more inquired for than for some time past, and have improved in price. Investors exercise a good deal of discrimina tion. Many railway and other securities which, though not devoid of promise in the future, are sub jected to immediate embarrassments, remain quite neglected, there being • remarkable absence of even that moderate appetite for specu lation which in ordinary times stimulates moseyed people to purchase and lock op, in anticipation of an ultimate rise, stocks standing at • peat depreciation in the market. Daring the last two day s • check has arises to the previous buoyancy in the Stock Exchange ; but the reaction seems to have been merely of that wholesome character by means of which an upward movement in prices be sass, purged of the speculative element. No new political feature has presented itself calculated to modify the cheerful impression excited at an earlier period of the week, with the exception of the quarrel between Spain and Morocco, which assuredly will Neither entail a creation of Consols, nor chock the of dividend-yielding railway trunk. rrr i ole ia Erroneous impressions are frequently occa sioned by watching too closely the move ments in the Stock Exchange, which @Sled af best • very uncertain index to the course of public opinion. That establishment, moreover, was shorn of a good deal of its wealth in the panic six moans ago and the result is now seen in the timidity of the dealers, end in the celerity with which the prices of securities are affected by the mss breath of rumour. The stock markets are meek mere imprta- sible than hearty. If the public eels.* .dealt; fee some particular clam of stock, its price is driven up considerably, because the dealers in the article wanted have no supply on band ; whilst, if a stock L pressed for sale from several quarters at once, if only in moderate amounts, an exaggerated effect is again produced, in consequence of the limited capacity of the market and the reluctance of the dealers to buy. Home securities maintain, in a very marked degree, their superiority over foreign, just as trade here has been preserved from participation in the depression of trade abroad. Holders of foreign secu rities have been impressed with a painful sense of their liability to ruinous depreciation from contingencies against which provision can scarcely be attempted. Events are constantly occurring which prove that, notwithstanding the bad management of many of our home joint-stock undertakings, foreign investments are still lees to be trusted. A case in point is the latest revelation made in connexion with Austrian finance. Seven years ago Austria raised a national loan, the amount of which was fixed, with all due formalities, at five hundred millions of florins, representing nominally fifty millions sterling—a good stiff sum, certainly. A sustained pressure was put upon every moneyed individual in the Empire, and all civil and military servants of the Crown, as well as the clergy and public bodies, were specially " invited" to subscribe, in virtue of their position and in ceder to encourage others. The result was that, " by hook or by crook," subscriptions for stock to the amount of 611,500,000 florins, or 61,150,0001. sterling, were collected, being 81,500,000 florins, or 6,150,0001., in excess of the maximum solemnly fixed by the Imperial decree. The Government quietly availed itself of the god-send, allotted the entire amount applied for, and kept its own counsel until a few days ago, when the truth fleshed upon the asto nished senses of the Vienna financiers, producing equal consternation and anger. The Government has perpetrated a flagrant fraud upon each indivi dual subscriber, whose interests have been propor tionately damnified by the flooding of the market with the excess of stock. A State which can act thus is utterly careless of the first principles of mo rality ; and any securities which it may hereafter offer ought to be placed under the ban of Europe. The world was already familiar with the jugglenee of Austrian finance, but this last illustration caps them aIL It is the more important that the decep tion should be universally denounced because of the danger of the precedent involved. If Austria is permitted to escape with impu nity when she thus palters with her public obligations, may not. other States follow her example, and even issue surreptitiously additional amounts of old loans ? The fraudulent over-issue of the Austrian National Loan has a tendency to confirm the dis favour into which foreign securities generally have latterly sank in the English market. Better a moderate rate of interest from investments under our own control, and hedged round with the protection of English law, than the promise of a larger return from channels where there is no security whatever beyond the bare word of a perhaps forsworn debtor. Were the Austrian National Loan quoted on the London Stock Exchange, it would be the duty of the Committee to expunge it from the list. Considering the important bearing which this medal has upon the position of foreign loans generally, many persons are of opinion that the Committee ought to take special cognizance of the matter as it now stands. The Austrian Government ought to be called upon for an immediate explana tion, failing which the Stabs ought to be placed under the ban imposed some years ago upon Spain. CIL Court.

The Tuscan Moniteur,in an official account of the reesption of the Florentine deputies ►t Paris, gives • summary of the Emperor's speech to them, which (if literally correct) sufficiently accounts for the cheerfulness which it has been said pervaded their countenances when they came out from the presence chamber at St. Cloud. According to this authority, the Emperor told them that he did not think himself sufficiently emancipated (abbastanza seiedeo) from the engage ments of Villafrancs to give any other advice than that the Grand Duke should be restored, with ample guarantees for liberty and independence. He was still firmly resolved (dec *** isenno) not to permit any intervention, not even from Naples. He told them that his engagements had no other limits than the bounds of possibility, and he, above all things, recommended order. The Tuscan Muniteur accompanies the above pub lication with the following reflections: This answer of the Emperor was inevitable after the pre liminariee of %Edmore, and we could not evert anything better than them frank declaration. N.poleon, in reassuring mon the mom of ell foreign intervention, and is saying that his wegagermats do not go beyond the bounds of pedal batty, Isevesit to as to prove to Europe the impossibility of the reawakens which could only be effected by violence. The restoration., then, being out of the qualm, the problem Wow tutors lot cannot logically be otherwise solved than by acc-ptiog the vote for the union. Timmy, therefore, hes, in the Emperor's speech, s new guarantee for the liberty to tike care of herself. Let her cautious to see this liberty by founding in stitutions of a nature to unite her more end more closely to the Italian kingdom, sad let ►er wash in arms tor the defence of her rights. The government, strong in the sup port of a country which site an admirable example of concord sad constancy, will =detain t►e rights of Tuscany against all her enemies, whether at home or abroad. The Pays, to-night, Count Walewski'e organ, commenting upon the remarks of the Tuscan Ifossitssor, mays that the provisional government of Tuscany distorts the meaning of the Emperor's wordy, and that it would "do well to understand them in their plainest and most literal sense." This childish way of playing fast and loose with great interests cannot possibly go on much longer. The resignation of M. de Hubert, the Austrian minister of police, is attributed here to his having failed in a mission to sound the notables in Hungary. and also to the difficulty of reconciling his relatively liberal opinions with the retrograde policy of the President of the Council, Count de Reehberg. It is also said that he was greatly opposed to a congress. Tae first impression made by the news was that the cause of reform in Austria bad received a check, which, by the way, is highly probable. But as the same despatch announces the retirement of Count de Grune, who was one of the ultra-conservative leaders, people do not know what to think. Lord Cowley went this day (Sunday) to see Count Welterski, at his country house, the Chateau The Opinion Nationale gives the following news: At the roman of going to pram we are told that the English ministry is on the eve of dissolution. The Queen, It Is said, has had an interview with Lord Clarendon on the subject, and it is propoeed to summon parliament Mime- Thu. far I bad read with a pulse continually quickening, but my excitement suddenly subsided on coming to the concluding sentence of the Opinion's paragraph, which, him the poetscript to a lady's letter, is probably the most important—" perhaps these rumours are unfounded!" The &Minella dells Alpi, of October, 19, 1859, publishes the following letter from Louis Napoleon to Pope Gregory XVI., written immediately after the utter root by the Austrian troops of the undis ciplined insurgents with whom he and his eldest brother were associated. It is not to be found in the collection of Louis Napoleon's works: Id. • ;11 tell your Holland; the tenth about the state of things here. He told me that your Holmes was hurt to think that we were amongst those who revolted sgaloet the temporal power of the court of Rome. The Ho moods are intoxicated with the idea of liberty. They will be at Tarot this evening, and I most do them the justice to say that there is not one of them who nine hie voice 'gaunt the bead of religion, thanks to their leaders, who are all most estimable men, and who on every occasion prove their attachment to religion u strongly as they do their love of temporal government. It Appian that they most urgently desire a separation of the temporal and spiritual power. I ant telling the truth; I swear it, and I entreat your Holiness, to believe that I have no ambition. I can likewise sm•m that I have heard it mid by the young men is general, and even by the least moderate among them, that I if Gregory would abdicate his temporal power, they would adore him; that they would become the wannest parttime of true religion purified by a groat Pope —a religion founded upon the most liberal book that exists, the Divine Gospel. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Madame Ugalde, the charming singer of the Opera Comique, has just taken a second husband. She was married yesterday at Montmorency to M. F. Varcollier. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The Opinion Nationale contains the following statement, which, although not in any way of an authentic character, cannot fail to challenge atten tion at the present crisis : The treaty of Zurich I. no doubt diametrically opposed to the liberal policy which we. proclaimed by the Cabinet of St. Junes in entire accordance with public opinion. It cannot be doubted that the Palmerston-Rusell ministry will persevere In the course it has marked out for itself. If our information be correct, and we have reason to think It is, an eiGoial commuoioation was received in Paris yester day announcing the categoriad retinal of the English govern ment to go into a conmese ; we believe we also know that the Emperor has given orders to discontinue the reparations for the Chinese expedition in all the porta, and this would tend to confirm the accuracy of the preceding statement. We are ensured, moreover, that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has strongly urged upon Spain the necessity and opportune ness of the war in Morocco. Upon the whole, then, the situation has become very much gloomier within the last few days. Yon were told yesterday that the journals under the influence of government had received in structions to mingle "astonishment" with their in dignation at the determination of England to ab stain from a Congress unless the wishes of the Italian people are to be taken into consideration, The campaign has begun. You will almost think that I mast have sees the very letter of their orders. The Petrie exclaims to-night, ". Really this ' new attitude' of the English press, and perhaps of the English government, "surprises' la very much." The Pays thinks the " tnry of the English journals merits the contempt of all sensible people ;" and in another paragraph it will not " condescend to an swer them se they deserve." All the prefectoral journals in the provinon sing to precisely the sam e tune, the key-note having been struck at the Home office. The Bourse at the opening was in much the same state es yesterday. The Rents remained for nearly au hour at 69.45. It then dropped to 69.33, and be coming firmer at the close, though very little busi nem was done, left off at 69.50 both for cash and account, with a rise of 10c. and Sc. Credit Mobilier rose 3.75. Various accounts are circulated as to the position and prospects of this giant company, and they give rise to some speculative transactions in its securities. The railway receipts for the week being remark ably good, some capitalists were induced to buy shares at their present low rates, but the operations produced very little effect upon prices. The Orleans, Eastern, and Lyons lines rose from If. to St, but the Northern, Southern, and Western were If. or 21. lower. There is much talk of the magnificence of the Empress's apartments in the Tuileries, which have been newly furnished and decorated during the recess at very great cost. Her boudoir. is in the style of the Alhambra, and in the principal drawing rooms there are eight panel., containing full-length portraits of ladies enjoying a high place in her Msjesty's favour. Among these are portraits of the Counter Walewski, the Countess de 'Monty, the Counter de Persigoy, sod the Duchess of Malakoff. The Patrie contradicts a statement in the in'ord that Prince Jerome is dangerously ill. He has so far recovered from his late indisposition that he drove out to St. Cloud this morning with the Princes. Clotilde, and he lately went to the filen tre Francais and sat out the whole representation. The Master of the Ceremonies of the Imperial Household has just signified to the directors of the Theitre Francais, the Opera Critique, and the Vaudeville, the pieces which are to be performed by the companies of those theatres at the Palace of Compiegne during the residence of the court. The Theatre Francais will play the Mariage de Figaro ; the Opens Critique ' toe Songe dune limit (raw ; and the Vaudeville, the Danes de Caw.. THE BOMBAY MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MOIININO.

MAZZINI AND THE GARIBALDI FUND. Mazzini has subscribed 200 f. to the Garibaldi fund for purchasing of a million of muskets; hie subscription was accompanied by the following letter: I send 200 f. as my 'a:attribution to General Garibaldi's fund, to which I feel rare that all who there my political faith will bastes to rubscribe. The name of Garibaldi is a =tee that these arms will not be employed merely in the of Cattolles and the Mind*.

A Dutch brig, the Huh, ran on to the Herd Send yesterday in attempting to enter Shields Harbour, and to-day the action of the surf has broken her sp. The weather is extremely cold and bleak to-night, end there is every eppeerence of more snow.
