Tits telegraph aonounces tidings of a new war with China. The Treaty of Tien-tsin has been broken, the passage of the Peiho has been denied to oar ships, sill with success, 464 of our men have been killed or wounded, and three gunboats have been destroyed. This news comes with a suddenness that is start ling ; yet it cannot be said to be wholly unexpected. A month ago the English 'within, were informed, in letters from Hong Kong disuse 22, that great doubts were entertained there as to the reception the expe dition would encounter, the Chinese warning as that it-would be unfriendly, and lead to hostilities. Admiral Hore left Shanghai on the 15th, and on the 1 ith reached the mouths of the Peiho, where he was joined three days after by the Pie nipotertiaries of England and France. The tele graphic official report says nothing of an American naval force having been engaged, while the unofficial despatch states ZS a rumour that the American Mi. sister had been received at Pekin. The latter state ment is improbable; but it becomes not unimportant taken in ccrinexion with the fasts stated in letters by the previous mail, that Mr. WARD had had an interview with the Imperial Commissioner at Shanghai, while the French and English Envoys studiously avoided that personage, declining to enter into negotiations elsewhere than at Pekin. The deliberate intention of the Chinese Govern ment to prevent the advance of the squadron was made apparent by the teems and stakes which barred the mouth of the river. The forts which Sir )IICILEL SEYSIOCH knocked down in May, 1868, had also been rebuilt. Not ;madded days had elapsed after the arrival of the equadrem doss it appear that any attempt was made to fame a parmage, and when at length this was done, the Chinree batteries', protected against any attempt at landing by a force of about 20,000 met., opened a destructive Sre on our ships. The milit►ry result iv that which we have stated; the diplomatic result is the return of the Plenipo tentiaries to Shanghai, and the abandonment of their mission, at least on its original basis. Thom, then, we are once more at war with China,' a war of which neither the jusi(e nor the necessity is doubtful. A solemn treaty has been deliberately violated in that very provision which was framed is order to close a source of adrasoierstaisd 4 v sad strife by establishing dined intercourse with the mat of O,•crnmest. It is always with nest that we contemplate the prospect of colliaion with the races of the East, since,compared with European rams, they appear to be incapable of learning the nasal lemon of defeat, and war succeeds war with feudal rapidity. But in the present ease our course is as clear, that we can only hope for humanity's sue this war may be prosecuted with •igoor and complete mons. Tue enemies of the French Eurgeol enjoy triumph both es only he could have furnished. It of mune possible that the article which we tease he'd from the lthwateur of Friday say peeve to be another stain instance of that Imperial Negativity whisk all the wed& lass speed to easier, bat is the nineties the sely port of it which everybody eadesteade exhibits Na,.. LIDO 111, as posessesd with a stymied saatesept tie the aadentaadisg of the eget. People say well infer that only sows dreg mess an hides the Zerititoa to reocimpy pa►U* attention with those prelimioarue of Villeinage which were hailed on their pr .mulgation with infinite disgust, bat from the thought of which the current of events in Central l'aly has carried public attention happily away. It concerns Frenchmen more than English tors if not only the fruits of the g►llantry of their army, bat even the military nominee of their Empire are disparaged to save the repet.tiee else unnerved negotiator; but, when after two menthe an sttsml• ie deliberately made to show to Europe that the Iblrktin made at Villafranca was such as may is.. lichen could be reasonably expected to ap prove, we are all at liberty to expos the hollowness of t►e Imperial argument. When the French Exrraos returned to Paris from Valieggio the first thing Le did was to escape his non-fulfilment of the Milan programme. When he urged that the interests of France connseLled him to desist from the war, even those who felt that he had done wrong to embark himself and engage other+ in it without counting the east, ark nowltr,,td, nevertheless, that he had said enough. Bat there still wad the dark fact—Venetia was was left ander Austria. The words of NaroLzorr showed that AMC apology wee seeded, and Vat that time be could hare announced that he had ob tained aught that could be described as "ezten•ive concessions to Venetia," he had every lesion for stating their nature and object. But nothing of the kind was disclosed. Oa the eoatnu7, it was rochrimed at every Court in Eu►ope, without contradii-i,,,, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA would vug4estiou whatever respecting the internal government of a State which he held in fu.i sovereignty. It is only on the return of Prince RICHARD iiforrayrica from St. SIIIITeUr that we hear of conceseions of any kind, and even now wears left to gone what might here been their quality. But who can be the dupe of concessions to Venetia. As there is only one Austria, so there is only one Austrian sys tem of government. Austria may promise; " " may even intend to govern well, but she must MINS to be h. reel' before she will govern otherwise than with the mieral and the stick. A system of govern ment u w toch authority Is responsible, In which the Crown i•' ,'.f co-ordinate power., In which the State is somet 4,N• rent from the Oovernment—a lye. tem, it. a wurol, with real guarantee, for liberty, would be so hateful in the eyes of FRANCO JORKPM that it may reasonably be doubted whether beweald net as willingly see VICTOR EmstaNtrit administering it in Venetia as be compelled to administer it himself. And for not considering these concession., of which no one yet knows anything tangible, of more , value than the actual independence of Central Italy, , the statesmen of that country, the FARISIS, the RIDOLFIS, the RICASOLIS, the SALVAGNOLIS, are told " they are men more anxious about petty per " tial successes than the future welfare of their cons " more country." The mean accusation recoils upon its inventor. We in this country are constitu tionally disposed to appreciate peaceful successes ; our liberties have been built up by a series of civil triumphs, which &commentator conversant with mid night plots, and blows equally sudden and san. pinery, might consider petty and partial. We, however, are prone to regard them as more solid on that account. The Italians appear to be of the same mind, andwe have not the slightestdoubt that even the Venetians, if their opinion could be ascertained, would a thousand times rather rest their hopes as Italitna upon the existence of a united, free, and national State in North Italy than on any andel taking which Austria could give. The verdict of free men everywhere has been unanimous upon the arrange ment for restoring the Archdukes to their capitals. TaielOs, too, know what that restoration would bring with it. Once before the Princes of the house of LOA LINZ were brought back toFlorence,brought back in simple reliance on their good feeling and justice, and in the conviction that they would not practise the gra htitous folly of attempting to set up a despotic govern ment over an easily ruled people. The Orand Duke had chosen to say, "Before all things I am an " Italian Priam," and in that faith he was re-seated en his throne, bat only to fill his subjects with shame and sadness. The French EMPEROR is fortunate, at learnt, in this, that the Tuscans have saved him from sharing any of the responsibility for the discreditable consequences of a second restoration. To explain the article published in the Monitor► coosistently with the chivalrous Relied policy pro clainisdby Francis, it is necessary to assume that in it the EMPLIOR take. leave with compliments of an en gagement which it has become impossible tocarry out. We are glad to see that the EMPEROR'S words are so interpreted by some of the most able end experienced French publicists. In that arse public opinion would judge with candour the necessities of hie MAJESTT's situation. The EMPEROR, in fact, nye that the only consequence of the rejection of the Archdukes will be that Venetia will be governed as au Austrian province. "The work of France is at "an end," so far aa the freedom of Venetia is concerned ; but only so far. France is not under any obligation to abed more blood or expend more , money to effect the emancipation of the Italian ter ritory still lying under Austrian dominion. Bat on the other hand, if she can curtail her projects she cannot renounce her ideas. The Estrenoa tells 111 the Archdukes will not be restored by foreign army. The honour of France, the pubic opinion of Europe, will not permit it. Most happily fur all parties—for France, which wee in danger of being compromised; for the Austrian., who have something better to do with their money then spend it in a war for petty foreign princes ; for Europe, which has long enough endured the disquiet of an " Italian question "—a solution peaceful. national, and with every guarantee of per reticence is ready to hand, ia already a feet. The union of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena. sits Piedmont by the free vote of all the parties, is one which no one has a right to call in question. If the people of throe states—let us rather say of the now Vatted Kingdom of Northern Italy—are frowned upon by neighbours they know what they have to do. Let them show themselves prepared to defend their libertim If they want England's advice, let them ask themselves what Englishmen would do in like circumstances. We can only wish that they should do *hat which we should be certs to do ourselves. If their liberty and independence are, as we believe, dear to them, they are wov.h sacrifices. In defending them they will have the support of all Europe, which, moreover, would visit with itv 41;spleasore those who should trouble its peace b restore a state of things is Italy al which it is cely too glad to No the tarmiaatioe.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (71011 0011 OWX peals, SIIIDLT EVENTIIO. If the last Moniker manifesto had been meant to be viewed as a document binding Its imperial author, ender heavy penalties, to the observance of all en gagements whatsoever therein written and set down, we may be sure that it would have been vet y differently drawn up; but these articles in the offi cial and in semi-official journals are a speciality, having a recognised mode of action, and an almost unlimited latitude of expression. It is • deplorable but undeniable fact that each sue- MUSS manifesto under the present regime does bet contribute more than ita predecessor to confirm and hasten the general decay of faith in the language of , this clam of documents. Thence is it that nobody, however guileless or unse.picioe., dreams of reading the article now before the world prrely end simply is Its own language. And the oftener we peruse it, the more do we perceive its resemblince to our own proverbial act of parliament. There is room to drive half a dozen coaches and six through the interpreta tins assigned to it. The upshot is that it does I Met la point of feet greatly change the state of the episstlea. The Emperor of Austria is probably not a hit more convinced in his own secret thoughte, se the impossibility of restoring the Lorraine princes, then he was before this article appeared. The in habitants of the duchies (at lust the reflecting law emoog them) are not a bit more in terror of, being hended over to the tender mercies of the double-headed eagle, if they persist in their refusal to take back the pretenders, than they were a few weeks ago. Again, who ever believed that Francis Joseph would, in the present ascertained state of Europesa opinion, under any circumstances, declare war a amend time *gain st Victor Emmanuel—whereby France would be again called upon to take up the cause of her ally P In proportion as the article be comes divested of its first terrors, it sesames the character of a masked battery, which will ere long be 'mated to its true purpose. Many persona skilled in imperial ruses are coming round to the belief that either :th or without new elections, or a more extended basis of suffrage, Prince Napoleon will be proposed to the people of the late duchies and future kingdom as the only poteible mode of " making thingscomfortabler to all parties. Italians with whom I have spoken scoot the idea, and declare such a solution is not to be entertained for a moment. M. Paradol, wbo devotes an article in the Debate to the subject (in which he arrival at the conclusion that the prinoes and the people having about equal rights their respective claims ought to be submitted to a congress), apparently alludes to some such solution when he says, "Is it possible to constitute the duchies into an independent state under • new sove reign? What new sovereign could be imposed upon them who would not excite the lesion.) , or the fears of some part of Errope r There is a ridiculous story current in some German papers that the Grand Duke of Tuscany is condescendingly minded to name a Lieutenant- Governor, who shall promulgate an amnesty, and introduce various political and administrative re forms, which done, he shall hand over the country, purged of its offences and got into working order, to its original minter.

Now that this " in famous" narrative has gone the round of the anti-Italian journals, the Union correspondent writes:—" The attempt in the convent of Venuchio, which I &unearned on the authority of letters from Pesaro, is not confirmed." Ne doubt the principle adopted in this case has been, "Throw mud—some of it is sure to stick." I am assured, upon what I consider very good authority, that the most probable solution of the Italian difficulty will be the formation of a kingdom for Prince Napoleon, with the approbation of his father-in-law. The feeler thrown out the other day in his paper, the Opinion Nationak, as to his return to the Algerian Ministry, was, I am told, a blind.

It is of very little use to save a fool from Ms folly, and what people like to believe I suppose they will believe In spite of reason and evidence alike.
