SEPT. 17. ilea NI if Eirei Government have resolved to and at once a military force to China, and to send it from India. We are glad to be able to make this an nonmilitant. It is of the first importazois that the illusions which our recent check is calculated to encourage in the minds of the natives of the East should be dispelled without lose of time, and no lees important that whatever operations may be required to convince the - Chinese of the necessity of keeping faith should be prosecuted to an early conclusion. The hostilities we carried on at Canton against Com missioner Yen left the mesmerise of the rest of China comparatively:uniejnied, but the transfer of the war to the mortis threatens to interfere seriosialy with trade. On every account, then, it is well that the expedition is not to be delayed, nor must oar respect for the f►ntastic prejudices of the rulers of China be allowed this time to hold WI back from Pekin. It is for the interest of the untold millions of China. as well es for our own, that we should obtain that full com mercial access to their empire, of which the presence of the ambassadors of the Western Powers in their capital is an indispensable guarantee. The despatch in which Admiral HOPE reports to the Admiralty the disastrous attack of June 26 was published in last night's Gazette. It removes one or two doubts which had been left by the private accounts. Thus it shows that the Admiral was from the first informed of the existence of the ditches in which so many of our gallant countrymen perished, and that he appreciated generally the extent to which the new defences had increased the difficulty of his teak. His report, like those of the unofficial cmirespondents, shows that the fists landing under an unsubdued and heavy fire, and on im practicable ground, was the cardinal mistake of the enterprise, but he contents himself with remarking that " had the opposition they expo. " rimed been that usual in Chinese warfare, there " is little doubt that the place would have been sire " cessfully carried at the point of the bayonet." This. after all, is the strongest point that can be urged to extenuate the errors of the commander in risking his brave men in a conflict so unequal. We trust that whoever may command the next force sent against the Chinese will do the public at home the juslims to believe that it does not distrait the valour of its seamen and soldiers, and that it is not creamery that in a war with barbarians they should undertake exploits forbidden by prudecre and science, to main tain their credit fur bravery in England. FOREIGN journals are wonderfully busy just now in the exercise of their wits upon the hidden mean legs of the latest manifesto of the Mossitass. Only the initiated (whoever they may be) have the key to the mysteries of Imperial journalism, and we in this benigh..ed island are not among the initiated, and, whit is worse, we are u happy in our ignorance ss if "'twee fully to be wise." Oar peo verbial insularity of mind, which that venerable, and devoted type of all the bourgeois ♦irtues, M. IR vitt, deprecatingly describes as "egoism,," shrinks from a contest of the brain with the dark sayings of mountain oracles, and gladly commits ha the industry of cosmopolitan commentators the duty of rendering the obscurity of a doubtful teat visible to the vulgar eye through a thousand lees.. patible glossaries and coefiicting interpretation'. Whenever the lifolsiteur speaks, so internecine war of carefully misinformed scholiasts from all the pur lieus of all the Foreign Offices and all the Embassies on the Continent is sure to fellow. VOLTAIIIII accused us long ago of having innumerable religions in Eng land, but only one sauce—melted butter; and thus it is in foreign politic?. We have only one way in this country of "dressing" an Imperial document for an honest public, and that is to serve it up as neatly taw as possible, in its own gravy. As to the melted butter, in oar day it is a sauce more in use in the bureaux of our inspired contemporaries abroad than among ourselves. How can we compete with the briskness and fertility of invention of the adepts of official journalism abroad, when we find en eminent French lawyer, at the lively age of seventy-six, telling an audience of rustics in the moat matter-of-fact manner that, after the Russian war, the Queen of EZIGLAND reviewed a fleet of ten thousand guns in the mouth of the Channel, and in sight of France ; that orders were sent to our Admiral in the Baltic to husband his ships while our 'Hies were sacrificing theirs in the attack on Bomarsuud ; that an English garrison is fortify. ing the Island of Perim, and closing the Red Bea to the commerce of the world. The atrox aximus of a veteran French jurist whose fidelity to the Ea- I'EROR can only be quest!oced by those who question his fealty to half-a-dozen former regimes, liberates his feelings at an agricultural bacq'iet by giving fall play to his imagination, and to the credulity of his hearers. The venerable Dcrfts is but a Monitetsr in wooden shoe►. Can we wonder at the imaginative fertility of iuspired journalism among our neighboure, when even a wily old lawyer, who has suffered for his country for nearly two-thirds of a century, edits con temporary history in the spirit of a provincial reader of the I - wirers ? It is thus that we are enabled to comprehend the immense capabilities of the dfoniteur for saying nothing in a multitude of words, and taking everybody in. It is after listening to M. lit IN that we Imo to appreciate that oscillating engine of publicity which serves to blow off the steam of a policy at high pressure. Aft this week the Mooti teur Manifesto of the 9:h Instant has been played by a hundred correspondents of Belgian, German, and Italian journals with a prodigious display of variations, and with a marvellous facility of maui- relation, but always in one key. The apostolic maxim is admirably successful in the mouth of the lfouiteur ; for not only is it all things to all men, but all men are equally satisfied with its doctrines, however divided in their own. The Austrian press is enchanted with the explicit determination at St. Banveur to timer Italy over, to make common cause with Austria, to en force the provisions of the Treaty of the Back Par lour, and to arrest the illegitimate tendencies of the Briiish government in favour of insurgent pope )n the other hand, the Sardiuian journals are delighted with the semblance of bad temper and, THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 180. the substance of goodwill which simulate and dissi mulate each other at every hum of those see-saw sentenoes and solemn warnings. The morality of the lituniteur is avenged by the universal impression of everybody in particular that everybody else is the dupe. When this happy result is sewed e why should we interrupt the harmony by a shrill try of dissatisfaction ! We honestly deplore oar native dulness of apprehension, and the eoareeness of palate which incapacitates us for testing anything bat plain truth. And we are paying the Monitor, • jut compliment when we say that plain truth is not quite indigenous to its columns. The Vienna accepta tion of the manifesto has the merit of being otiose and purely theoretical, whilst the Turin, Florence, Parma, Modena, and Bologna version, which consists in Axing upon one or two paragrapha and eliminating all the rest, is a practical solution of an awkward mystification, and well adapted to the exigencies of the situation in Northern and Central Italy. Accord ingly Dictator Falun addresses the Assemblies of Parma and Modena in no faltering accents; he tells the eitisens that the game is in their own heads, and that at all events therc will be no foreign interference with their new destinies ; at Florence, Baron RICASOLI is equally confident and at ease ; at Turin and at Milan the deputations from the Duchies are troubled by no vain misgivings, nor haunted by un comfortable Pyrenean echoes; even in the Legations the administration and the Assembly organise their future, nothing doubting; all the returning footstep from St. tlauvenr are light and hopeful. All Italy, by common accord, is convinced that the Emperor of the FRENCH means well, and that by thinking so, and saying so, and acting upon the conviction, they will assist him to fulfil the desire. of hie heart. And if austerer admonitions sena from the banks of the Thames, let Italy be per suaded that rough words are sometimes the kindest, and let them pluck the flower from the nettle without complaining of the sting. Certain of the commentators on the Menitesw have taken upon themselves to make free with the supposed policy of the British Government in this new phase of the Italian question. When shall we be relieved from the necessity of repeating to these ingenious designers of fancy statecraft that the policy of the British Government remains precisely what it was declared to be in Par liament, and will continue to be what it is now? The policy of liberal England is as simple and as clear as freedom itself, and does not follow the changes of the moon, or of the Honiteur. It is summed up in a few brief words: To leave emanci pated Italy free to choose her own form of government and her own dynasty, so long at lent as no domestic anarchy threatens the general peace. England protests, in virtue of her own freedom and her own principles of government, against the use of force to coerce the Italian people. Neither at Paris nor at Vienna is the feeling or the policy of the British Government obscured or disguised. The voice of England speaks in tones that cannot be mistaken to every court of Europe Let us add our confident persuasion that the employment of faros by Austria against the population of Central Italy is something more than an improbability, whatever may be the replies which Prince RICHARD METTERNICH is about to bring from Vienna to the propositions which he carried from fit. &menu.. There are other, and sometimes even stronger, pledges than those which a couple of Em perors can exchange across a breakfast-table; and we belies() that the Emperor of the FRENCH is not, at this moment, the man to deny, or to evade them. To speak of the Committee which is now in course of formation for the purpose of converting English sympathy for Italy into substantial aid, as a com mittee of charity, and to describe Italian liberty as a mendicant, is not only an unworthy aspersion upon a good cause and a generous advocacy, but it is a gratuitous mistake. There is no begging in Italy, no giving alms in England. A number of Englishmen of all parties and opinions sympathise with the generous aspirations after independence, and the brave determination to win, and to keep it, of the Italian populations. Knowing that though the spirit is willing the flesh is weak, and that even where enthusiasm and bravery are strong, the sinews of war, especially in the smaller States, may fril, many Englishmen are de sirous of testifying the sincerity of their goodwill in the tangible form of material help. The need of such aid is felt ; and we are fully persuaded that no uneasy seen of obligation will hinder Italy from accepting with a good grace fres gifts from England.

DEATH OF MR. BRUNEL, C.E. It is with no common regret that we announce the decease of the eminent engineer whose last im portant work, the Great Eastern steam-ship, has lately occupied so prominent a place in public atten tion. Mr.Brunel was carried to his residence in Duke street, Westminster ' from the Great Eastern ship,' at midday on the 6t h inst., in a very alarming con dition, having been seised with paralysis, induced, it wu believed, by over mental anxiety. In spite of the most skilful medical attention, he continued to sink, and at haltput ten on Thursday night he expired, at the comparatively early age of 54 years. The deoeased was the only son of the late Sir Mark Isambard Brunel, who for his many public works re wired the honour of knighthood from her l'ilsjesty in 1841. The following outline of Mr. Broods public career is taken from " Charles Knight's Eeglisb Cyclopedia of Biography :" fa - mothanfliinidont Brunel, son of the constructor of the Themes Tunnel, was been at Portsmouth, in 1808, when his father was engaged Is erecting the thick machinery for the dockyard. He was taken while quite young to Franco, and finished his adnestka at the College Haul IV., at Cu.. He commenced prudent engineering la 1826, under his father, at the Thames Tunnel, of which work ha was red. dent engineer. Being the last to quit his mat, ha was more than once in danger from the frequent breaking-In of w►ter daring the progress of the excavation', and only saved him self by swimming.

The following resolution wllll peeped: " Since the formation of a national party in tier many for the purpose of promoting the unity and liberal development of the great and common father land, the foundation of which bu been laid at Eisenach and Hanover, hes become a reality, the undersigned do hereby establish an emaciation to be located at Frankfort-on-the-Maine. " The giro of this society shall be to labour for the patriotic objects of this party with all available law ful means; and more especially to take upon itself the moral task of making the people more and more conscious of the aim and means of the movement which is being promulgated throughout the whole of our fatherland."

The National Assembly met to-day to hear the reading of the answer given by the Bing of Sar dinia to the deputation sent to Turin. The Assembly has unanimously voted for the °entreat of a loan of 5,000,000 francs. A deputation be. been chosen to deliver an address from the Assembly to the Em peror Napoleon. The deputation is composed of the following members Signors Cantelli, Torrigiani, Anguitolo, and Ranuoci.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (191011 01111 OVlst PARIS, Fauoky EVENING. We are without news from Italy, beyond the an nouncement that the Parma and Modena deputa tions have been splendidly received by the people of ' Turin, and the particulars of the transactions in the National Assembly of Parma subsequently to the reply of the King of Piedmont to the deputations. It is carious to note how the leading Italian and Austrian journals continue to skt with each other in expressions of satisfaction at the recent Moniteur article. It is the old story of the knights and the shield. The time will come when one party or the other must cheap its tone. To-day, however, we find the Indepeadeste carrying its optimism the length of drawing favourable conclusions from the very triumph of its opponents. " The Vienna Gazette," it says, " declare* that the article in the Moniteur dissipates the fears which previously existed. This article, then, had no other object but to reassure Austria, which dreaded the renewal of war; but it reassures her on the condition that she shall no more meddle with the affairs of Italy beyond the Mimic)." The answer of Victor Emmanuel to the deputations of Parma and Modena is regarded here as quite confirming the favourable view taken of Italian prospect.. It he observed that the King points out that the Emperor Napoleon "fought for the independence of Italy," and expresses a belief that Europe, which has recognised the right of other nations to ;provide for their own government, will be neither less just nor less generous to the Italian states. Lord Bhaftesbury's answer to the Italian committee excites much notice here. The name of each a man cannot fail to give weight to any cause he espouses. People comment upon the Austrian interpretation of the term non-intervention, u de veloped in the supplying of soldiers to the Pope, to I be employed against the Legations. Report. are rife of ministerial changes. Count Walewski is said to be tired of foreign affairs, the guidance of which he will give up to a candidate new to the political arena, Marshal Niel. M. de ' Walewski will then remove to the regions of finance. Other change. are mentioned, but them are spoken of with a certain confidence. It must not be for gotten, however, that Count Walewski's &mission has formed the 'abject of a periodical easard any time them half-dozen years. Marshal Niel is said to have a great fancy to try his 'pre:glee band at a protocol, so there may this time be " something in it." You will remember the remarkable article pub. lished in the Djkits some days ago :on the subject of the liberty of the press. There is no doubt that this article spoke more or less the language of authority. Some relaxation of the existing system of press restriction had become a matter of absolute necessity; and the Dthats will probably be shortly followed by either the Constitutionnel or the Moniteur" on the same side." The change required is very simple; an abandonment of the system of warnings, and the permission to anybody to establish • newspaper on paying a moderate sum by way of caution money, would, in the opinion of men con versant with the subject, do all that is required. This little, however, may be a great deal too much to be given. _ _ The Bourseopened buoyantly. It was reported that the Zurich Conferences will very shortly close, and that the bases of a congrese are very nearly agreed upon. This was settl:ng day in shares. Accounts were generally carried over. Rentes left off at 68fr. 90c. cash, and 68fr. 930. account, being • rise of 20c. and 230. respectively.

TUSCANY. 0101 i On OWN CORBIN FLORENCE, SIFT. 9. Yon will rejoice with me to learn that 'lithe patriots lately arrested, who were more or leas suspected of Mazzinianism, and who all belonged to other Italian provinces, have been released and sent away. As I was yesterday told by • person in a high station, there only remains now one young advocate, who is to be restored to liberty this day. It is to be hoped that the Tuscan government will henceforth not allow itself to be carried away by an excessive fear of Mazzinianism, which finds it impossible to attempt any enterprise at this moment, and which could find no soil whatever to revive and flourish upon except the faults of the existing governments of Central Italy. Ido not mean to may that the great republican party no longer exists. It exists, and even it is powerful, because it has its roots among the people; but its programme now is that of alliance with the Unitary constitutional party, and it patriotically retires to the background, only re serving to itself • right to advise and urge forward its new allies as far as possible. It could do no other wise, without losing sight of the essential elements of the Italian question, and prejudicing it in the eyes both of the nation itself and of foreigners. Every party should know how to bide its time; and as for Mazzinianism as it now is, in spite of the merits and superior qualities of its chief, it cannot strictly be called a party, but rather a fraction of the republican party. Expulsions continue to be effected, and I have to mention, amongst others, that of Captain Paleetrini, of Rome, who had come into Tuscany with no other object, according to the testimony of some very honourable persons, than that of taking service in the Tuscan cavalry .: One arrest, of which very few people were macle aware, and which happil7 was prolonged only for a few hour', is that of Mario, the famous tenor singer, who is the owner of en exten sive chitean (formerly called the Villa Salviati) in the neighbourhood of Florence, and who had arrived there some time ago to repose awhile and to breathe the pure air of Fiesole, in order to gain fresh strength for renewed artistic efforts and pro fessional triumphs. Mario possesses not only a fioe voice, but a superior intelligence and an enlarged heart. Since he was known to have been much lib with Mszzini in former times, orders were given by the police authorities to their agents to keep an eye upon him; and whether by some blunder, or from an excess of zeal, it came to pass that they arrested him in his carriage one fine day, at the moment when he was about to enter the city gates. Raving vehemently protested against this treatment, be was conducted before the Prefect of Police, wine apolo gised with excellent taste, declaring that he was enchanted, for his own sake, that the misunder standing of his instructions Lad procured him the enviable advantage of making acquaintance with a gentleman so justly celebrated as Signor Mario. The socounts we receive of the condition of the Tasman division are excellent. Garibaldi has imme diately secured the respect of the officers and the love of the soldiers, even to idolatry of his person. You may have read a statement that the appointment of Garibaldi to the command of the Tuscan army had been ill received by almost all the officers, and espe cially by the superior officers, and that they had broken out into open complaints, alleging that Gari baldi was nothing but a Corsdoetiere and able leader of guerilla warfare. Ent the real motive for their dissatisfaction was their fear of the general's seve rity, and particularly, also, their apprehension that he would bring with him • large number of those brave officers who have always fought by his side in America, at Rome, and in Lombardy. Garibaldi, bringing with him only a few of his old comrades in arme, soon showed, moreover, that with regard to the severity of his manners, he loves justice above all things, and that benevolence is the foundation of hie character. It must, however, he said that the officers of the Tuscan army greatly needed to be recalled to the sentiment of a salutary fear, since they had come to fancy themselves almost independent of all superior milt. tary authority. All that is now changed, and we 1 behold submission to the chief, attention to the ser vice, and discipline even of language. Talk with any officer of the Tuscan army' you may chance to , meet, and you will hear him praise General Garibaldi with the greatest sincerity and enthusiasm; they do him justice in every respect, and all who have had the honour of convening with him agree in acknow ledging his superiority in military science. One more piece of news, which relates to military matters, and I have done, On Saturday last Marquis An selmo Guerrieri and Count Csatelli, of Parma, in 'the c►pacity of envoys extraordinary of the Parmesan government, ratified, so far as concerns the said government of Perms, the military league or con vention concluded between the different states of Central Italy. FLORENCE, SEPT. 10. The instructions sent by the Court of Rome to the Tuscan clergy, and of the text of which the police bare succeeded in obtaining a oopy, bear upon two points. Ist. They are to promote, as I told you yesterday, the restoration of the dynasty by every possible means, and cause the prayers of the faithful to be offered up for it. 2nd. They are to oppose all the acts of the government, and cease it to be re garded by the faithful as excommunicated. The acts of opposition have not been delayed, and very recently, the government h►ving nominated new incumbents to certain vacant benefices the nomination of which belongs to the State, the Car dinal Archbishop of Pisa refused them institution. I cannot pass over in silence the protest of the four archbishops of Tuscany against the circular of the government to the ecclesiastical authorities, dated the 22nd of August. You will remember that in this circular the government declared that any :sort of doubts as to its legitimacy, and any sort of hesita tion to follow it in the path opened by the will of the country, would be not only acts of rebellion against the riding authority, but also acts of treason against the nation; and that it would consequently prevent and repress all kinds of machinations and criminal attempts, and would punish the conspirators without regard to their birth or social position. The protest of the four archbishop, which, with the adhesion of several bishop, has been presented to the government, requests the government to with draw its circular of the 22nd of August. The country, on its aide, demands of government an act of firmness, and wishes that its sets should be conformable to its words. The circular was received with general sip ' probation. It is fit that the menaces therein cen t tained should not now remain mere empty words., but that the authors of the protest should learn that obedience to the will of the country is the first of a citizen's duties. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that the Assembly of Tuscany will shortly be convoked, in order to elect a regent charged to govern the coun try in the name of the King of Sardinia. 'fhe Sardinian Coestitution is to be proclaimed, passports and custom-houses are to be abolished (we suppose on the lend frontier), and weights and measures, as well as the currency, are to be assimilated. The Mayor of Florence has issued a notice, invit ing all the volunteers who have returned from Lom bardy to present themselves within three days after the 11th at the offises of the municipality, in order to declare whether they will accept service in the Tuscan army or not. There ie, however, a clause from which it would appear that the choice is not quite a matter of free will ; for it is said that should any reasonable grounds prevent some of the volunteers from accepting, the authorities shall be apprised of it, in order to need these men back to their homes, after having made them give up their arms.
