Tae French account of the reptiles of the allies at the Pedro adds bat little to our knowledge of the military operations of Jane 25, but it supplies some facts of interest respecting the conduct of the Chinese and the intercourse of tke Admiral and the Ambassadors with them just before those events. It was on the 17th of June that Admiral More arrived at the mouth of the Peiho. DalMg the three drys which elapsed before he was joined by the Ambassadors he had b:en in communication with the inferior Chinese authorities on shore, and satisfied h , rneelf by their 'venire repi , es that the Imperial Government did not intend to permit our advance towards the capital. As we now learn, the resolution to fdrce the penage of the river wan taken la a °Deference of the Mi&sien with the Admiral en the 21st, so that we may sesame that tb•re clear days were employed in preparations for the attack. On the 22nd the Chinese local authorities were formally summoned to remove the barriers from the river without delay, the Admiral announcing that in their default be should perform that operation 10:wolf, en appeal towhich ao reply wee vouchsafed. Thug, it will be assi k i plenty of time was allowed to estimate the opposi tion to be ex pected, and weigh the chances of news& Admiral Hore apperi to have expected that the engagement would resemble that of last year at the same place, when the well-directed fire of a dozen ganboate, ender Sir Wolin. SiTtiouk, silenced that of the Chinese forte in an hour and a halt, and prepared an esiy victory for our t-oops on lending, The invisibility and death-like silence of the Mongol garrison, and the concealment of the" . gone, offering so strong a contrast t, the blryt-2 and osten tation of the Tartar braves with whom we had to de last year, seems, however, to have suggested to some persons at least an unpleasant se•picion that we had this time to do with men of more self 3oorroand and resolution than the men of the month ; bat, mays the French writer, it wry too late to draw beck." The studiously refereed An of the forte in the forenoon of the day, and its e-tful suspension before the landing, are more remarkable then its precision and effect of which several eurrespondents slth the squadron have token note. Adm;-al Belmont last year spoke wit► great respect of the improvement of the Chinese artillery. The close resemblance of this dissimulation and cunning to that which was fatal to our countrymen at Petropaoloffsky Is the best coc;trosation hitherto offered of the suspicion that the Mongols " from the Ammar " had the advantage of foreign direction and smla••nce. The signal for landing on this occasion appears to have been given partly became the gunboats were not is a condition to prolong the encounter, and partly from the belief that the forts were silenced. The hour of the !endive, five o'clock, wee certainly late, but Admiral /lore must hare expected to be much more successful than Admiral Ssvitovn, if he thought that it could have been effected earlier, for the interval between the commencement of the gunboat attack on the forts and the landing was about the same in May, 1846, and Jane, 1819. All the ill conse quences of disembarkation with an ebb tide on mud banks, and the exposure of our men to the dangers of fighting in the dot k, must, therefore, be set down to the originally defective plan of the action. It is pretty clew that Admiral Hors never con templated a landing in the mud. Hs expected to be able to force the boom, and make his way up t a point where the tide-way contracts. Foiled in his purpose by the strength of the stockade and the weight and precision of the enemy's Om, he scorned to turn back. There would have been nothing dis creditable in withd-awing to re-oonlider a plan which had been f-nitrated by unexpected obstacles, and the result supplies overwhelm;ng mason, for regretting that this course was not adopted. Yet the correspondent whose admirable letter we printed on NVedneeday says that " when the signal for " landing was given there ems not a soul in the " squadron who doubted of oar speedy victory." Had the forts been really silenced, as the cessation of their fire led our people to suppose, this expectation might have been realised. The lesson of this repulse will sot be lost. We have hitherto treated the Chinese as if all their art and cunning were re served for diplomacy, while in war they may be treated as children. Even at this moment we rue no reason to raise oar estimate of their valor., but we most be prepared to eucounter more skill and science in our collisions with their troops. Bir MICHAIL SETYOUR last year noticed the improve ment is their material of war, the propels is now extended to their tactics and practice. It is impeln tent that we should take account of their advances is the art of war, because systematically operating with forces out of all numerical proportion to theirs we rely for success on superior skill and science ; but by no progress which they an make can this cowardly people expect to escape the just retribution for trea chery and murder. To hear Colossal NORTH and his friends of the Horse Guards talk, it should teem that the abolition of Bogging means the abolition of all military discipline. The gallant Colonel says that in one year no fewer than Mut° men deserted their standard', and therefore he concludes that if desertion is to be stopped, tlaggiog must be resumed. This is a 1311111- take, and the sooner the mistake is corrected the better. There can be no doubt that desertion is the most serious Clime of which a soldier, sea soldier, can b.,. guilty. The man who deserts not only com mits a groin breach of faith—in fact, perjury in its worst form, but robs the public purse. And of course if desertion cannot be checked, the army must be dissolved. The question it , what is the best means of checking this moot striae' evil? One thiog is ab.indaittly clear, that the men who have been found guilty must not be elevated into martyrs. They most be disgraced in the eyes of their comrades, and in the eyes of their fellow-citisesur. Oil officers steeped in the traditions of the Peninsular war may recur with fond regret to the days when A /gin was the panacea for all evils. Bat they forget that times have cheesed. Fifty years ago 200 lashes admin istered to a soldier's back were in the ordinary CA■79O. Such a pun i s h men t I rma approved not only THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1860. by the army, but by the public at home. The man who endured it was thought to have richly damned it. He was no martyr, but most properly punished. Bach was the penal code of the day. Bet foe the last thirty years public opinion hes materially altered. So far bash es 1833 It wee fia. poseible to Hog a soldier with the sanction of public opinion. It is known that when the officers left the barracks after a flogging they were hissed by the populace and insulted. The man who had suffered punishment, instead of haling himself disgraced, felt himself a martyr. Dis cipline, instead of being maintained, was obvi ously relaxed. The soldier was encouraged to resist his officer. Ice short, the very means which Ia former times bad kept up a state of discipline u perfect as ever existed, bad precisely the opposite effect. Then, indeed, the Duke of WELLINGTON, by his great aathority, samesded in maintaining a system which was opposed to popular feeling—on the ground that without it all discipline must cease. But the Duke was not infallible ; nor could he °vehicle the great principles upon which all punishments rest. In gauntries where public opinion is dumb, it may be ignored t bat in a country like this, where men net only have the , opinions but can express them, the thing is impossible. Any punishment which is opposed to public feeling must be abandoned. Flog ging may be proved to be the best punishment in the abstract for desertion or for any other crime, bat is this country it is utterly impracticable. Indeed, if proof were needed of this it would be found in the facts which have lately occurred at Woolwich and elsewhere. Is it credible if a man fully felt him self disgraced that he would amuse himself by crowing like a cock after receiving his punishment, or that like the militia-man he would venture to tell 'the adjutant that " he was as good a man as he was, *. and was ready to take fifty more"? The most alarming shock to discipline is when punishment is beag►t into contempt, and surely no more effectual Man can be invented for this purpose than to have public denunciations of the conduct of military officers perpetually held up to the men under their command. In foreign armies the penalty for deser tion is death. This is simple and effectual. One reason why the some practice is not followed in this country is beams the public would not enders it. But it should be observed that theism reason which forbids putting a deserter to death forbids his being flogged. It is clear, therefore, that the play lately introduced by the Horse Outdo, and sanetioesd at their suusetisa by ea Act of Parliament, will sot work, sad aught at ones to be abandoned. For even should this alternative be adopted, there need be no ftar that military disciplaie must cease. Let us reflect with pride that the British is the only European army in which the claims it the soldier would be so tenderly con sidered, or in which that consideration would be so frilly appreciated. The excellence of our soldiers sonsists in that spirit of independence and self respect which distingr'shes them. They are men and citizens, though they are soldiers; and neither they themselves nor their fellow-citizens can endure to have them treated in a manner unbecoming those amongst whom they have been bred. Austrians may be flogged and Frenchmen may be ahot,but the British soldier carries something of hi independence even into the ranks, and must be treated u a being having definite rights. The con *tinniness of thia difference betwren him and others gives that spirit and power which are the presage at victory. He is the freest, and, therefore, the most vigorous of soldiers. But let it not be imagined that we advocate a relaxed discipline. Desertion is the worst of military crimes, and let it be punished by the most severe penalties. Expe rience has peeved beyond a doubt that flogging will not be endured, and therefore it moat be dlscon tined. In fact, probably the only ow I. which this extreme punishment ought to be inflicted Is where an incorrigible soldier is about to be dismiseed the service. In such a case there seems nothing unreasonable in first imprisoning the man and then flagging him, end finally drumming him out of the regiment. But those who remain in the army mast be differently treated. No one who knows anything of the men who enlist can be ignorant of the lawless characters who find their way into the ranks. Many et them need no ordinary management. Bet during peace there are ample mans pro vided by military prison discipline for subduing the spirit of insubordination. After these have been tried it might perhaps be possible to draft them off to the most unhealthy and dreary stations to which British troops are sent, and to keep them three double the length of time during which they would remain under ordinary circumstances. The West Indies, especially Trinidad and the rest coast of Africa, are not the sort of places in which a man would choose to spend the best part it his life. Nobody pretends to deny that if the punishment of flogging were abolished some other mode of punishment most, and could, be found for military crime. It should be observed that this discussion only numerals the question of punishment in time of paws. Is the field the officer in command must be left ab solutely unfettered. If he deem it necessary he most be permitted to inflict the utmost penalty.

SARDINIA. TURIN, Barr. 15. The following is a summary of the answer given by his Majesty to the joint deputations from Modena and Parma : The King expressed Ye thanks to the people of Modena and Parma for the unanimity of their votes recorded for the annexation of their provinces to Piedmont, by which they have confirmed the wishes expressed by them eleven years ago to the King, his father. His Majesty continued thus— " I agree with the desires you have the minion to communicate to me, they are fresh manifestations of the national will, to save the country from the die. astrous consequences of a foreign rule, and to erect a barrier which would ensure to our countrymen the pamession of Italy to the Italians. The deputations will understand in what manner the Kiug must pro ceed toward, the accomplishment of the wishes of the assemblies. Armed with the rights which I have acquired, I will support your cause before the great Powers, and especially before the French Emperor, who, while leading the victorious legions of Francs, was fighting for the independanoe of Italy. Europe has recognised the right of other nations to provide for their security by constituting a government capable of defending their liberties and their independence. She will be neither less jest nor less generous towards the Italian provinces. The votes which your assemblies have recorded, and the numerous volunteers who have fought under the fins of Piedmont daring ttie days of the late struggle, have proved that firmness is a tried virtue with the people of Modena and Parma." The speech of his Majesty concluded thus: " Therefore I need not say to yon, Persevere ; I will only congratulate you upon the order and the moderation of which you have given such brilliant examples, in order to prove to Europe that the Italians know how to govern themselves, and that they are worthy to be citizens of a free nation." The council of the different districts of Turin yes- terday gave their approval for the erection of monuments to the King of Sardinia and the Em peror of the French. M. LEDRU ROLLIN AND THE IMPERIAL AMNESTY. TO TIM IDITOI OF 1111 EILPIT.BIS. - _ _ Sia,--When I first received the Intelligence of an amnesty saythonghtigonmerahreted the murderous climates of Guiana and Africa, that will only retain too many tombs already, and I exelalmed," At last !" and I rejoiced sincerely. Then I said to myself that for a great party there is something less sterile than mental indignation and Why, then, renounce ourselves these deeds, this activity, whenever they may prove possible ? Banished without right, recalled without right, through mere force, every one of us, in my opinion, had to ask himself this question : Am I likely to set more usefully, to serve our cause better, if, In stead of protesting, I put at once to profit an exist big fact, or at least reserve to myself the faculty of benefiting by it, at my own day and hour, according to the offerings of chance ? Such was, to my understanding, the most practi cal, sionaequently the most political, conduct to be kept ; and therefore I did not protest myself—there. fore my advice went to not protesting, whenever, from the various regions of the proscription, my friends did me the honour to ask for it. Withal, as far as I am personally concerned, I followed apparently a right inspiration. It so happens that any end ail protestations at my hands would have proved not only inopportune but even ridiculous; inasmuch as the threshold of Franco, re opened to all, yes to remain closed •to me, the government declaring that I am not comprised in the amnesty. Not, however, that I am excluded nominally— that would bare been an appeal to public qmpathy. I am thrown out without noise, jtiaitically, by means of one of those unexpected distinctions which Tartuffe might have envied. I sm limply refried to be considered as a political convict—l am but a com mon murderer. 0 hypocrites: If the shift is, on the face of it, too clumsy to deceive a single individual, at least it reveals one odium character more of that prosecution in contuma cious got up against me some two years ago, and the r( al meaning of which, at the time, appeared to many people unaccountable. Why, they ask, con demn him twice to the same punishment In fact, it was not intended to have me condemned more amply, bat under a different head, in order, first, to deprive me, if possible, of every right of refuge, and, at all events, to exclude me, without even mentioning my name, from a general amnesty, sooner or later unavoidable. I will not revert to that legal enormity ; public feeling has condemned it. What could it avai ',indeed, to mention again, to the lasting confusion of the French courts of justice, that a man whom I never saw, a man whose name I was Ignorant of, • man who himself was never able to articulate my own name, having declared he thought he had seen me at • certain place whence I departed without even pronouncing a single word—that was deemed suffi cient to strike me as one of his ace= Hoes ? True, for this service he was soon afterwards pardoned. Once more, it would be useless to insist any longer upon that grotesque and wretched sham, in which nobody ever believed, not even the British cabinet of the time. Certee, they seemed readily dispireed to hand me over. We were at that moment yet in the happiest days of concessions end the alliance. Ne vertheless' they have since publicly recognised, through Lord Clarendon's mouth, that the allegations brought against me were of such a futile nature that extradition could not bat be at once refused. Bach are the fundamental facts of the case. As to its formal character in point of law, I was arraigned for a plot (complot), tending to a feloriori attempt (ottestat) against the chief of the state. Now, under the French law, a plot (complut) means necessarily a politics! offence. An attentat likewise implies of necessity a political crime, both words being specially introduced, in legal parlance, in order to better designate a crime of an exceptional and public character. It is Bien only by dint of the most forced, the most outrageously impudent of all imaginable political fictions, that such an offence (ottmatal) was raised in the scale of penalties to the height of parricide. [The man of the 2nd of December a father of his subjects !] Ah, forsooth, it is not nature, it ;.1 poli tic alone that is capable of indulging in such monstrous assimilations. Let me add, in hoe, that deportation, the very punishment indicted on me, is a penalty excluaively political. Therefore, accusation and penalty clearly charac terising the offence, such a crime, in supposing it had ever existed in substanoe, never was, never could be, anything else but a political crime. I challenge any and all French lawyers to deny the strictness of this conclusion, without even ex oepting such as have, through their baseness, now disgraced that respectable title—a Dapin,a Baroohe, or a Traplong. Now, the fraud being unveiled, what remains in reality ? Two political enemies, face to face, the one of whom thinks it useful to isit the other with ostracism. Well and good. Bat is not this hatred so grossly enraged against one man somewhat curled away, and wanting in cleverness? He that proclaims himself noskakeably enthroned, who has the audacity of hewing out of granite and porphyry the long lice of his dynasty's mausoleum, be, above all, who pretends to making Europe trem ble before him, does be play a clever game in ap pearing to tremble himself before the sound of a name? Public opinion will decide. As for me, but for the powerlessness to which I am reduced in serving the case of liberty, I have no occasion to complain of this new blow. lam served the same policy I applied myself to Mr. Bonaparte, with this difference, however, that I acted openly, frankly, without organising falsehood as a system, and setting to work the moat perfidious machinations. Minister of the Interior, I ordered the body of Mr. Bonaparte, yet an outlaw, to be *sized ; Member of the provisional government, I voted against repealing the laws that banished his family; Member of the executive commission, I was en trusted with supporting, in parliament, the preserva tion of those laws. And I did fulfil this task with eagerness, be come I felt it was necessary to shelter the masses against their own mistaken impressions ; because I foresaw the people, scarcely emancipated, would, under the deluding charm of tradition, soon be re plunged into the servitude of the first Empire. History will tell whether I was wrong. One thing, at any rate, I am forthwith entitled to affirm, as being manifestly evidenced: If Air. Bona parte had been far away from France—if all hope of returning had been closed to him for ever—he would neither have had the leisure nor the means of preparing, in concert with the reactionary party, thoee bloody and nefarious days of Juno, 1848, that entombed the republic. If, for evil and tyranny, this strength has con sisted in acting slowly, patiently, but inoessaotly, aby then should we, who have public welfare and the triumph of liberty in view, deprive ourselves of the means of acting? Let us not forget that every republican who re turns to France without having degraded himself* in spits of all, a light-lipreading focus and a soldier ready for the coming day.—l am, &c., Sept. 14.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. arson ova ow., PAWS, TEVZZDAT EVENING. The Chinese question, in the absence of news from Italy, absorbs the pub:ic attention. Its necessary tendency to bind up the Anglo-French alliance is admitted on all hands; and, with certain ultramon tens exceptions, is bailed with universal satisfac tion. Turning to Italy, the fact of the insertion in this day's Mositair of the Bergamo petition to the Emperor is naturally interpreted favourably for the cause of Italian independence. In discussing this petition, with its 10,717 signatures, the Presse says: _ _ . It apy nre, then, that the people of Bergamo are resigned to see Venice remain In the power. of Auetria, provided some alleviation Is brought to its sufferings; but they prey that the frontiers of the new kingdom chill not remain deprived of their notional dilemma ; meaning, of course, that Poseidon and Mantua shell be Included in the 1:01111101111 of Amtria, The addreas says nothing against the restoratioa of the dukes. Prince Metternich is expected in Paris today; his return will, it is believed, throw some light upon the Italian situation. The Univers publishes a letter from Turin in which it is stated that the Sardinian cabinet had received a communication from Paris, conceived in the same spirit as the 'detainer manifesto, precious to the appearance of that document. This explains the recent observa tion of the (Independence, that the article in the Mualleur had nothing new or unexpected for the King of Sardinia.

Tae Faire regrets that the Bergamo petition has been published without date, became it would have been satisfactory to be able to see in it a direct pro test against the scandalous scenes which have recently occurred at Bergamo, the first—and lot us hope the last—blot which will have been cast upon the revolution, or rather regeneration, of Italy.
