Mormeizmaaar, differences of opinion are said to have prevailed re garding the policy of that proceeding. No one ventured, of coarse, to raise • genetics as to its justice. The coefidential friends of his Imperial biadESIT were his guests; and it would have been regarded, doubtless, am a siosierie, had any of them suggested a misgiving on that score. English peers and French officials tacitly concurred, no doubt, in the Imperial sentiment that despotism being for the good of France, whosoever ventures to pluck it by the beard deserves to be visited with the utmost penalties of the law ; and even had there been lees oompleteunanimity of view as to the abstract prin• cape of the righteousness of rigorous repression, one never could imagine the moral woe of Lord HEIt17011.1) or Count WALEWNICI impelling either of them to counsel a reconsideration of the subject os the more ground of equity. Equity or iniquity, soh men would probably say, is in the abstract matter of time, and place, and circumstance, and practical polities a matter of regime. That which is right in a free country is wrong in a country blessed with a paternal government; and M. Mort ausarar must have known this well when his sat down to quiz his countrymen upon the politiesl pri vatioas they enjoy, and the social losses for which it is said they ought to be thankful.. Equally in amerd we may fairly presume were the members of the tesselated conference as to the personal aspect of the inipendieg prosecution. There was not one 1 of the memorable party amembled at the hunting Wen of NA reLiON 111. who betrayed • folio( of consideration for the illustrious acensid. He had by tares ceended nearly all of the influential parties that awe existed is France : and, what was worse, his tatting sarcasm had been directed a4ainst most a the bureaucratic porecaarget from both aides of the Chaatiel, who by special invitation had been beceigist together there. That he richly deserved all he might get for his wilful and wanton Satire cm them, all the Es ratiol'ii disinterested friends were thoroughly agreed. Nevertheless, as we have said, there were differesess smog these " triode in council." Lord PAL =Arrow, we may readily believe, exercised his privilege as their Nxuvoa to utter certain doubta sad warnings with regard to the eoasequeneee that might possibly ensue from the intended proceeding. Biz motives, he was sure, could not be questioned, wins he ventured to say he wished the prosecution to to dropped. He feared it would disclose to Ramps and America, more palpably than ever, how little anion of sentiment existed between the governing power in France and the governing power in England. Grantiog that M. MONTALEN UST was en °riming, and ought to be crushed—* makentent, and ought to be made an example of—a journalist, and ought to be stifled—the question wee whether angry and bitter feel ings would not be excited by his conviction, and pernicious sympathies excited on his behalf. The proceedings of the trial might be unreported is Franey, and no word of comment permitted to appear ; but in England versions more or less correct of all that took place would infallibly be given to the public, and even he (Lord Pauesiterron) could not answer for the approval or even silence of the journals most devoted to his interests. What would the wend say when in the columns oars devoted to the singled praise of Napoletano sad Palmer ston= they read denunciations et the trial and onvieticia of a man like M. SIONTALMOLIT, for a satirical paper published in a Paris noise ? The organs of his noble friend whose devotion to the cause of the coup admitted of so question, might possibly be persuaded to be docile or dumb ; but he doubted if Lord CIAIIINDON would venture to be answerable even for the Observer : and he was set servo that Lord MALIISSBCIT could iodine more than one or two of the Ministerial papers to be dis creet and silent. Coming so soon after the Portu guese affair it would be hard to hold the breath of Ragland in. For himself and his noble friend be side him he was reedy to declare that they did not intend to turn the question of the Charles et Georges to Parliamentary account, lest it should embarrass or annoy his Imperial ItieJESTT. But it would sot be in their power to stop lees friendly toga's and peas ; and when to the alienation they might MAN was added the exasperation of severities against the press, he (Lord Pstiasatron) feared greatly for the result We may take for granted that all this was as to effectively reiterated as usual by Lord CLAZINDON. We have heard, indeed, that there were not want ing French advisers of the Estexaoa who took a similar view. Bat the mind of hie hiIJEATT was made sp. Lass discernment of character than he Femmes would have been sufficient to couriers him that his English counsellors were thinking much mare of themselves than of him, and that they were far more uneasy at the discredit they were certain to share than the damage Buonapartiani was likely to gaffer. There was withering wit, and we fear bat too much truth, in the inexorable reply ascribed to Loots Nerotsos :—" You ought to know the hell. imp et your own country beet ; but I think I "understand the sentiments of France, and you " will led I em sot mistaken in thinking that " there will be tittle sympathy shows for M. Mori , . " steepen." Now that the trial is over, and the condensed already has been adjudged deserving of six months' incarceration in • State prison, and that the san hedrim of Compiegne has brokee up, we hear it whispered diligently that the Erareaoa will be earnestly advised by its English members to remit the penalty, and so to prove that he can be mag nanimous in the use of power. We have very little doubt that on their return home Lords CttRENDON and PILVIRSTON have been mad* to feel that they were taking a very unwarrantable liberty with them selves when they went to Compiegne. The sincerity of their desire to have some rag of soi &ease clemency under which to continua their fight for their foreign friend few will seriously question. Unluckily for them, however, the weight of their opinion has been long since destroyed by the suicidal blander, into which they fell at the beginning of the present year. NAPOLEON 111, is not the man to forget how they lured him on to ask for • Conspiracy Bill they were unable to carry, and left him to chew the cud of his vexation at being publicly and pe remptorily refused. Ilia uncle had a trick of pinch ing the ear of a reckless or heedless adherent till it bled. As his present MAJESTY loves to walk in the traditions of the Empire he may make the ears of his noble confidants tingle by familiarly remind ing them how little they showed that they un derstood the real feelings of their countrymen ten months ago. Aod if he tells them that the remisidon of the penalties awarded in the present instance will not weigh • feather in the estimation formed by Englishmen of the condemna tion pronounced on Wednesday last, he will prove that he judges us more accurately than they do. It is the meth= of an unlimited power of restraint over political, social, and moral discussion, however guarded, however abstract, or however critically conformable with fact and reason, that we deplore for the sake of Prance, and resent in the name of civilised freedom. Were M. MONTAI.ESIBLET in carcerated but for a week, or a day, the dark mean ing of his sentence would remain the same. Under the provisions of the law enacted in March last, regarding political offences, he will be liable, if he ventures to dwell henceforth in his native country, to be arrested and summarily dealt with by the Government without any acctuatioa, proof, or form of trial. In other words, the record of • conviction for any political offence, no matter whether the sentence be executed or not, leaves the condemned at the mercy of the Imperial police. This is the true measure of M. MONTALENDITIT'S punishment. He has henceforth but the alternative of enacting at home the part of a craven and a caitiff; or of spending the remainder of his days in exile, where he may think without danger and speak without fear.

The Paris has two articles with two different signatures on the Italian question, and the rumours to whiek it has lately given rise. At first sight it might be supposed that these articles were inspired from different sources, because the phraseology of one seems rather directed to the discrediting of alarming ' roma" while that of the other is openly hostile and provoking to Austria. But on reading the two paragraphs attentively I feel little doubt that they are bat emanations of the policy which dictated that article of the Prom which I have already described as a " feeler." I am persuaded, from various circum stances, that, whatever may be the ultimate intentions of the French government (and those intentions may possibly be subject to fluctuation) the word has gone forth from the highest quarter that the Italian question is to be kept an " open sore," and you may depend upon it that it will in Tarim shapes start up in an irritating, if not alarming form. The Patrie in the mildest of its two paragraphs—the one in which it discredits the report low generally admitted to be false, that Viotor Emanuel had made a warlike speech to his army—lodinates that Austria, although she accepted the aggrandisement of Sardinia by admitting her to the congress of Paris, still views her progress with so jealous en eye that she is only watching for an opportunity to be aggressive. In the other paragraph it is asserted that the article of the Debats "in favour of Austria" has excited • general tulle, and the Dibate is accused of having been for years a systematic hypocrite in professing liberal opinions, and is taunted with holding, with regard to the foreign policy of France, the same doctrines which it pro fessed in 1840. Although, so far as the state of the public mind is concerned, the rumours from Italy are certainly regarded as lees important than they were three or four days ago, recent letters from Milan speak of considerable excitement there. The old ernes& against tobacco with the view of injuring the government revenue is revived, and cigars are knocked out of people's mouths in the streets. The arrangement after the battle of Novara is spokes of not as a pesos, but as a truce for ten years. The police is uneasy at the general discontent fomented by the enormous rise in all the necessaries of life. There have been some disorders at the school of fine arts, from which some pupils have been expelled. _ The police authorities, with more daring than I had given them credit for, have at length " screwed their courage to the sticking place," and definitively seised the Times; when I say definitively I speak of to-day, for I should be sorry to wager that it will not be released from bondage to-morrow. Be sides the Times, the Deity Neter, Nerving Post, Morning Chronicle, Ezpress, Sun, From liter, Leader, Spectato►, Saturday Revsaio, Press, Literary Gazette, and divers other English journals, morning, evening, and weekly, are all missing from the read ing-room tables. Gentlemen learning to spell have to-day scarcely an opportunity to " practice with yesterday's paper," for that is in demand by pro ficient& in orthography, who find hardly anything else to read. This desperate attempt to preveat the knowledge of what occurred at the trial of Count de Montelembert from circulating in France will have the effect of stimulating public curiosity to an extra ordinary degree, net only in Paris, but in Marseilles, Bordeaux, Lyons, Nantes, Boulogne, Calais, Dieppe, and all the town where the property of the sub scribers to English newspapers is confisc►ted. It was known in Paris, a few days since, that the Minister of Public Instruction and Worship had sent an order to all publics and free schools in France to discontinue the use of the edition of Lhomond's " Histoire Abregfie de l'Eglise," which contains a "continuation" without the author's name, bat signed with the initials F. J. L. The reason for the interdiction, which was not at first stated, I now find to be, according to a circular of the Prefect of the Mime to the mayors of his department, that the work in question " presents the character of systematic hostility to the Imperial dynasty." There is great talk of a possible schism in the French church, in consequence of the prosecution of PARIS, SATURDAY ETA:RING. Rumours of a projected visit to Paris by the Emperor of Russia have long been rife, but they now assume a very decided form. It is positively stated that a recent letter, written by an aide-de camp of the Czar to his mother, who resides in Paris, says that his Majesty's positive intention is to come to Francs in the early part of the spring, and that he will be accompanied by his military house hold and a brilliant following. The letter adds that after his visit to Napoleon 111. he will spend a week in England. The Daily News, Express, Sun, Globe, and Morn ing and Bowling Herald, were seized to-day. The subscribers to Galignonis rooms had nothing to read but the Times, Post, and Chronicle, in neither of which was there any report of the Montalembert trial, which was the very thing that everybody was anxious to use. The Times was detained with the other papers in the morning, but as usual was re leased later in the day by special orders from the Ministry of the Interior. The London Sunday papers, which will come to morrow, must be a source of great embarrassment. ' Will they seize them all ?—fkir all assuredly will re produce as much of the known accounts of the Montalembert trial as they can Bad room for. Already the board of censure is wavering. The Nord was at first stopped to-day on amount of a very short report, which was all the correspondent of that paper could give ; but the Nerd is as much au organ of the French government as of that of St. :Petersburg, and accordingly the seizure of the Aord was not maintained. The question whether it will be prudent on the part of M. de Montalembert to appeal from the ini quitous judgment against him is, I believe, still not entirely decided by his comae', although t he proba bility is that they will adhere to their first impres sion. It is not altogether impossible that the go vernment may relieve them from the reepoceibility of a decision by lodging an appeal itself, and de manding a more severe punishment. I understand that M. Quiz d'Est Ange is burning for an oppor tunity to make a better speech against Montalem bort than his colleague was able to do. I doubt, however, whether his personal feelings will prevail, for I know that many of the Emperor's advisers, like the unhapy spirits in the realms of eternal darkness described Jy Milton, are trying to shift upon one another the responsibility of having brought them selves into a terrible mess. The Proctirearlmperial Cordouen, especially, loudly protests that he bad nothing to do with the institu tion of the proseaution. I hear on what I think reliable authority that the ill-advised measure is traceable to personal animosity of long standing en tertained towards M. de Montalembert by M. Del angle. At the time of the confiscation of the Orleans property M. de Montalembert, in the first burst of indignation which that measure produced in every generous mind, wrote a letter to M. Dupin, which found its way into the Belgian journals. In that letter he spoke of certain honest men as con tradistinguished from the Delangles, &c. t and this is the attack which has ever since rankled in the heart of the present Minister of the Interior. It is very probable that the Moniteur of to-mor row will contain the list of the new Council for Algeria and the colonies. It is positively stated that M. Emile de Oirardin will be a member. He, it is well known, has long had intimate relations THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. XAGNITIO TILIOIL7g.) (MOM 001 . OWN 0011.11SPO1D1W LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

GALWAY, SUNDAY. The steam ship Indian Empire arrived at Broad haven at 9 a.m. on Friday. The passengers landed in excellent health, expressing themselves highly satisfied with the ship, captain, officers, and crew. During the whole voyage they experienced heavy south-easterly gales. The ship having thirty hours' coal remainiag, and being only 330 miles from Galway, Captain Coartesay, in consequence of a continuance of the fearful state of the weather, deemed it advisable to lay to, which he did for seven days. Daring this time it was necessary to consume a small portion of the cargo, consisting of cotton, staved!, &a. The skip left Halifax on the night of the 31st, having on board 16 days' fuel. The machinery worked well, and the ship proved to be a first-rate sea boat, and well adapted for Atlantic navigation, having only shipped one sea during the whole passage. The captain stated that the weather was anprocedented, and that many casualties must have sectorred, as they hll in with great quantities of floating wreck. On Monday lest they spoke the ship &Hattie, 116 days from Callao. She had been 30 days within 300 miles of the Irish coast. The Fulton, Captain Wolton, arrived at Cowes on her way to Havre, on Saturday, with the United States mails. She left New York on the 13th inst. She brought 105 passengers, and amongst her cargo was specie to the value of 50,000 dollars for France and 13,000 dollars for England. On the 25th she signalled the Hamburg brig Swea. The Patton ex perienced heavy south-east gales after leaving New foundland. It will be recollected that the Magdalena, which arrived from the West Indies on the 19th instant, brought news that it was highly probable a hurri cane had been felt severely to the north of the Cheater Matinee. This has tamed out correct. The Fulton has brought news of most extensive damage dose to property on land at Bermuda, Bahamas, and Terk'. Island. The fury of the hurricane was chiefly felt from the 23rd to the 26th ult. Authentic intel ligence had reached New York that the British barque Lady Comt r bell, the British schooner Transit, and the British brWilkinson, and six foreign ves sels, had been lost in the hurricane. The United States frigate the . Sabine, the flag ship of the Pars- 1 guay expedition, had received entangles and had been obliged to put into Berinusla d lat repaired.

An Assam correspondent of the Hurkaru an seances the death, on September 10, of brain fever, of the late Viceroy of Assam, Rajah Ghonokanto Sing of Gowhatty. The ex-Bing of Delhi, we learn from the English man, is to be escorted u far as Cawnpore by her Majesty's 9th Lancers, who are than to diverge into Oude, for service in the field. From Cawnpore the ex-Bing will proceed by railroad to Allahabsd, and thence to the Presidency by water. The Calcutta papers mention that the wording of the proclamation was not left to Lord Canning, but that it had been drawn up at home, and had not been received in India np to the 13th of October. The display of fireworks in Calcutta had been postponed to October 19. Mr. A. Money, the magistrate of Arrah, contra dicts the report that appeared scene time ago about a man, named Bradshaw, having been flayed alive by the rebels in Shahabad. Mr. Money writes to the editor of the Phani.r : In your paper of the 6th that. appeared a statement that on the 16th September a private of her Maisety's 10th Rag,. meat wee *night by some rebels and Ahmed alive. The story is false. A private of the regiment did Odl into the rebels hand.. lie had lingered bellied la a village. Re was at once eat down and killed. I speak from the experi ence of some months when I say that the teellags which film stories of this kind excite to madame, add to the difficulty of tranquffilsing the colmtry, and of mowing the active oo operation of natives well affected to ue.

The next morning, at seven o'clock, they landed at the Soochow bridge, where the Taontai of Shanghae and his assistant mandarins had bees waiting for them in state for two days. Bweilang and Hwuhana were at once carried into the city, and broke out in expressions of astonishment on be holding the immense fleet in the harbour. On the day of their arrival there were no fewer than 141 sail in the port, about one-third of them being of considerable tonnage. Up to the 4th of October nothing bad beea done, nor had even the preliminary official visits been arrested, sa the Commiesionen required rest after their loamy, and in addition were waiting for the arrival of Poontinqua from Canton, before prooeed ing to the revision of the tariff. With :nerd to this latter point it is supposed that the duties on tea and silk will remain unchanged, in spite of a strong feeling in favour of a reduction on the former article. The duty on imports will, however, be probably reduced as nearly as possible to • live per cent. ad valorem rate. Lord Elgin is said to be " hand and glove" with the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and is acquir ing great personal popularity in the north. Nothing has been done at Shanghai for England in teas, but in silk there have been liberal purchases. For America there have been large investments in green teas at extravagant prime. The NartA Chum Herald points out the unhealthy state of specula tion in this article for the American market, and the causes that lead to it. Prices are subject to an unreal variation, from the sudden diminition of the stocks of tea in the aes-board towns, owing to large purchases for inland dealers whenever the prices fall. These purchases, often amounting to two or three years' consumption, produce fluctuations in the market which do not at all correspond with the changes in the effectual demand. If the China Mail is correctly informed, Lord Elgin received instructions from home to propose a clause in the treaty with China surrendering the Cowloong Peninsula to the colony of Hoag Kong; but he either did not receive these instructions until after the treaty was concluded, or determined to leave the matter to be settled in the supplementary treaty. There is great probability, however, that this cession will be made. Such an acquisition will tend to prevent house rout in Hong Kong rising to an enormous height, and theoz:ite shore mos t agreeable place of residence during the south-west monsoon. HONG KONG, Ocr. 13. A fearful typhoon peeled over Swatow, com mencing at 11 p.m. on the 21st Sept. The barometer was then 29.85. At 2 a.m. on the following morning, when the gale was at its heightaber. 28.41), a storm wave, 25 feet perpendicular, came in from onwards, sweeping everything before it, and driving the ships from their anchorage over a long mud-flat, two miles across, with not more than 2 to 3 feet water cm it. The tide rose from 18 to 20 fest. It is said that upwards of two handled junks are wrecked, and the loss of life amongst them is very great. The houses on Double Island are in ruins, and the strength of the wind may be gathered from the fact that godowna on the water-front with walls two feet and a half thick were actually carried away. The bungalows have disappeared. The hurricane seems to have been local ; or, if it travelled, it has done so inland. At Amoy, there was only a sharp.north-easter. Those who have since visited the port say the scene is utterly beyond description. The giant storm-wave, advancing in its might, swept the fleet before it, and scattered the ships bee chaff before the wind, stranding them in the most extraordinary and unlikely spots. The destruction was complete. Of a floe fleet of 21 vessels, only one, the most use less of the lot, held to her anchors, the rest being driven ashore. Nor did the hurricane confine its ravages to the water ; it was equally felt on shore. What the tempest-driven waters could not accomplish was completed by the fury of the gale, and the strongest houses were levelled with the ground. The loss of life among foreigners is miraculously small, the chief officer and greater portion of the crew of the Gazelle and one European seseonny of the Anonyms being the only fatal accidents, although three men of the Hepsoott were severely injured by the falling of the mast. Amoco. the Chinese the number of killed and drowned w not over-estimated (aooording to the Chine Mail) at 3,000. The town of Swatow, we are glad to learn, has not suffered so much as was expected, but all the junks—upwards of 200—were completely smashed and piled on the top of each other.
