Tux Emperor of the FRENCH has just rendered the King of N‘rtes an important service, for which it is probable he will never be adequately thanked. The meditated junction of the Neapolitan and Papal force., in order to an attack on the independence of this Itornagneee, has been peremptorily forbidden; the appointed interview between the Holy Father and his meet dutiful son is indefinitely postponed; and OARlllaDell army, which wanted nothing but an enemy, is condemned to chafe in inaction. Car dinal ANTONELLI hereupon inclines hisser to reason. Wiser than the ethtx.vei and the Duramhours, who perplex the Pore's cause with their maladroit advocacy, he does not declare that the Papal Government is perfection, and that nothing at all an be done for it in the way of reform. On the sontrery, he presents the Doke DI ORAHHONT with a plowing little catalogue of ameliorations and coo cessions which his Holiness will be most happy to carry out, upon only one condition—that the Lega tions be delivered into his power first. If, however, the Emperor of the FRENCH maintains his resolu tion until the settlement of the question, the Holy Father will have either to acquiesce in the loss of • province or to recover the allegiance of his sub jects, as many unholy Potentates have done, by making his rule agreeable and safe. But if other wise. the people of the Romagna will not quietly permit their fate to be disposed of without their good-will. It would be well if the Eiersaoit's Italian policy were always equally wise. Hie friends indeed tell us that he is better disposed towards Italy than the world believes; that he is truly anxious to lure Italy to herself, strong enough to defy foreign interference, and internally too well settled to give encouragement to revolution. If some things seas to discredit his claims to this character, they refer us to the difficulties with which he has to contend, to the embarrassments of the Villafranca compact, to the intrigues of the priesthood, and above all to the selfish and unpatriotic character of some of the chief agents through whom he is compelled to act. But the world, which sees Louie NlPoLecoN in a position of greater mastery than any man of this generation has occupied, is driven to consider the acts of his Government as his own. When a man has overthrown a system under which bad ministers are removed and reVaced by better, it is for his personal authority to supply guarantees io the room of those he has subverted. If the truth be, as those who study the ways of his Court plead, that while he aims at a policy national. magnanimous, and worthy of France, his Ministers are more proud of the good word of his vanquished enemies than of their master', approval, then one cannot imagine a situation more pitiable than his. The dangers, political, military, and civil, which boost him in his Italian enterprise, the immortal reputa tion of Liberator of Italy which he so nearly won the fame he might still acquire if trim to the idea which he so nobly proclaimed at Milan, all are as nothing to these men, the servants and betrayers of every dynasty. For • sordid interest, for • personal pique, they would sacrifice all that he has woo in and for Italy, and by legalising per. rituals and enormously increase that Austrian influ ence in the Peninsula which their muter went thither to destroy. Should they succeed they will exhibit him to France as having poured out her blood, to Europe as having grievously sacrificed her honour (or nought. We in England see this distinctly, we, to whom the alliance of France is precious as long on it is • pledge of progress, civilisation, and liberty; and we see it with great regret. The EMPEROR con quered English opinion by the high-minded declara tions if his Milan proclamation, and from that moment until the arrival of the amazing news from Villa franca we wished him success. Although the tidings of the disastrous agreement sigxed there gave a shock to every mind in this country, yet as soon as men bad time to reflect, all were anxious to de justice to him in a difficult situation. The energy and resolution of the popular govern ments of Central Italy, and the marvellous unani mity of the people in adopting • settlement so natu ral, so politic, in face of Aastria and her quadrila teral, and so conformable even to his original and re corded intentions, as annexation to Sardinia, gave the F.yrr:aor. another prscioos opportunity of proving against all detractors the sincerity and disinterested. !ICU of his Italian policy. It is yet to be sees N. L, thee he is equal to the occasion—whether his has the matemasaship and the courage to adhere to the only plan which can secure the freedom lei Independence of Italy, the formation of a strong sob-Alpine kingdom under the only Italian Kttro. There is another pressing want of the times, which, if the EMPEROR doss really noderstasid his epoch, be will speedily recognise. TM world wants peace. Interests which are con nected with the sustenance of millions are deranged and impeded by causes which must be well know* to Lome NAPOLEON, and which the world believes that he has the power to remove. Treaties are signed, and peace is said to be concluded, yet men's lions j show no sign or joy. While those whom interests are mint nearly affected by the pacification con-ider its provisions with alarm, the rest of the world is occupied in observing with distrust a restlessness which to new warlike enterprises. Why is Speln ju.t now encouraged by France to reject ultimatum after ulti matum, and to fore* on a war which is invene-d for no other purpose than to acquaint the world that Queen Isei rt t..e has ships and soldiers to spare? The telegraph informs as that the French Mioliter of War is placing war material at the disposal of the Spaniards, and that the Minister of Finance I to aid them with money. Nobody denies the perfect right of France to take this snares ; bet nobody will say that it indi cates a desire to preserve peace in Europe. Again, we bear of armaments carried on upon a large scale, notwithstanding recent announcements of their reduction. Travellers from Cherbourg tell of railway carriages daily arriving there full of cartridges and munitions of war, and of the hundred rifled cannon which are to be mounted around the harbour. It is right that the Emperor of the Favecit should be made aware' of the imprciaion these and other similar facts make on the world. In his name a state of things is brought about which must soon become intolerable. Men and nations can manage to rub on with a revo lution or a battle now and then, bat if these things become the rule, a stand is sure to be made, sooner or later, against their authors. LOUIS NAPOLEON is at this time producing in Europe just inch a state of anxiety and uncertainty as that from which he was called in to deliver France. There most be, there will bean end made of this situation. If the En P EROS still powwows the good sense of which he has often given proof he will restore confidence by his own act, and reconcile his glory with the peace and well-being of the world. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28 I.Bbii EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOM OUR OWN CORRZIPONORNTI PARIS, THURSDAY }IMMO, The meeting between the Emperor of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia at Br.. Atli is a subject of great anxiety here. A very general impression is that they there agreed not to oppose the annexa tion of Central Italy to Piedmont, and that if it be true that England is now disposed to go into a congress, it is because she has reason to believe that the votes of those two great powers will be given in favour of Italian independence. The Pap is evi dently very much alarmed. It desires to question the "grave news" given by the Nord, that the meeting of Breslau was the counterpart (in a re verse sense) of the meeting of Climate, and then it says, but evidently without any farther warrant than its own wishes, " we should quite agree in the impor tance of the cordial understanding between R Quiz and Prussia if, as is generally said, that understanding is established upon the basis of the preliminaries of Villafranes and the treaty of Zurich. We cannot but congratulate ourselves on this adhesion to the policy of the Emperor Napoleon." I hare reason to think that the following para graph in the Pattie, which, although carefully worded to make the best of en nopalateable piece of news, admits the fact of an understanding, or, at least, an approach to an understanding, between England, Prussia, and Russia an reference to the congress, and seeks only to repudiate the idea that the three powers are:united in any larger designs—is much more authentic than the assertions of the Pays: The event which preoccupies Germany at the present moment is the meeting of the Emperor of Ruda and the Prince Regent of Prussia. This mistime has prey:AU a variety of Interpretations which we abstain from reproducing, and which relate to the general state of Europe, and affi nities mourned to exist between the two cabinets of London and Berlin. But we believe, on the authority of a source washy of credit, that the only political object of the meeting was to settle, with a view to a I engross, the bases of an understanding between Eng land, Prussia, end Russia. It hi added that the coming together of these three great powers wu managed by Prussia, in order that she might not find herself alone against Austria. Prussia end Austria are now far Indeed from that memorable day, August 26, 1769, when Joseph 11. sad Frederick 11., meeting in an old castle of &lee's, rushed into each other's arms, and swore eternally to support each other. That alliance was the origin of the imam= subsequently formed against France. We may judge from then fact, how profound are the molificationa which have been made in the state of Europe, and how chi merical ere thou threats which tend to nothing less than to make us dread a new treaty of Pilaitz. The Emperor came to the Tuileries to-day from St. Cloud and received several visits with a certain degree of mystery—at least so it is said by people about the palace who were not made aware before hand of his coming. One of the receptions which I see announced in an evening paper, probably by mistake, as having taken place at St. Clond,was that of Toussoun Pasha, the only son of the Viceroy of Egypt, who was accompanied by M. de Ls:4o4w Monday next, Oct, 31, is definitively fixed for the departure of the court from St Cloud to Com pii•gne. A special train has been ordered to be in readiness at 2 o'clock on that day. I see it men tioned in the Ind(pendance that Lord Cowley's name is " not yet" in the list of invitations—a statement meant to insinuate a doubt whether in the present state of the relations between Francs and England, he was likely to be invited at all. I am, however, enabled to state that Lord Cowley's name is down in the second series of invitations, in which are comprised those of M. de Metternich and Count Walewaki. According to my information, the assertion that Count Walewski was to live in the palace of Compiegne during the entire period of the Emperor's stay is unfounded. The Prince Napoleon arrived at the Palely Royal this morning, from England. The Bourse has been remarkably quiet. The Rents closed at yesterday's price, after having been about sc. lower. Mobilise scarcely changed. The railways left off from lfr. 25c. to 2fr. 600. lower. SARDINIA. (71011 001 OWX 001 TURIN, Ocr. 24. There is no doubt that the peace is concluded, but the treaty is not yet signed, and, notwithstanding what the iforsiteur has said about it, at this moment that lam writing, is only paraphed. Its text also differs a little from the telegraphic summary of it that has already appeared ; for instance, the fol lowing phrase is not contained in it : " The rights of the sovereigns of Penns, Modena, and Tuscany are r eserved by the high contracting parties," or words to that effect. Instead of them, these words are in traduced "As fur the rights of those sovereigns, the high contracting parties reserve to themselves the power of deliberating and coming to an agreement?' Before our plenipotentiary affixes his signature be has again demanded that a sum proportionate to all that part of the Duchy of Mantua which does not pass over to the dominions of King Victor Emmanuel shall be deducted from the whole amount of the debt assumed by the Sardinian government. The Sar dinian representative demand, d also an explana tion of certain points relative to the sale by Austria of the Lombard railways, and the sums she had already received. As soon as these particulars affect ing the treaty have been examined into, the final act of pesos will be subscribed. Sardinia had, indeed, protested against the arrangement disposing of the monastic iostitutions, and in virtue of which their poeeeseious are withdrawn from the applica tion of the Piedmonts,e laws as at present in force. The remonstrance of the Sardinian plenipotentiary was submitted to the French Council of State, and this body has decided that the tenor of the present French law differs from that of the Sardinian laws respecting the property of monastic institutions. If so, tbeFreuch law bee been changed indeed since the time when it converted into national property all the estateeof the clergy. Another (*racer dissent between Sardinia and Austria about the conclusion of peace has been, that the latter power, being in great pecuniary straits, wanted a great part of the debt foisted upon the former to be paid in ready money. The arrangement effected is, that France herselt will pay a portion of the debt in hard cash to Austria, red will take from Piedmont as reimburse ment her promissory notes, under the condition how ever of not bringing them into the market lest they should be depreciated. . - - All this concerns the treats , between France and Austria. The one between France and Sardinia is more simple. France transmits Lombardy to King Victor Emmanuel on condition of receiving as part reimbursement for the expenses of the war the sum of sixty million., and the pen.ioos formerly paid by the Italian kingdom to certain marshals of the Empire being acknowledged. The treaty concluding peace between all tree three Powers is also very simple. It refers for the most part to the two separate treatise, and does not impose on Sardinia the obligation of accepting the proposed Italian Confederation, or of taking any steps to that end. Austria appeared to be on the point of yielding in the matter of the iron crown, but she is now quite inflexible. When King Victor Emmanuel was questioned on, the subject he replied, " Let Austria keep the material crown, I will fabricate uue io the heart of the nation." The minister Cabo' , mina returned yesterday trots Paris, much gratified with the cordial reception given him by the Imperor. THE GARIBALDI MUSKETS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE REPRESS.

Grandigaillot, maintains its belief that a congress will take place, notwithstanding the re strictions made by the English press. In consent ing to a congress, the Constitutions'sl explains the reasons which have rendered the speedy assembling of • congress necessary. The state of affairs in Italy bad been settled by the treaties of 1815 in such • manner that the arrangement agreed to must humiliate France, and compromise the political existence of the Peninsula; in consequence of which permanent dangers were created to Europe. This state of affairs was the real cause of the revolutions of 1830 and 1848. The article concludes with a protestation against the statement that France in tends to establish a protectorate over Italy. The Prince and Princess Metternich, Lord and Lady Cowley, and Count Walewaki are among the guests invited to remain at Compiilne from the 7th to the 13th November. THE PAPAL STATES.

The following is a letter from the boatswain's mate to his wife: " Modica, Angleses, Oct. 26. " My dear have the most melancholy aims to send yoo. The ship was wrecked lut night in a terrific gale from the N.N.E. All hands lost except, to my judgment, about 25; and, thank God, I am one of the saved. The captain and all the officers are lost. The carpenter and I are the only two saved belonging to the officers' department. Go to the office and tell this, and ask them if Captain Martin is coming down to us, for the car penter and I won't leave her until he either comes or sends us directions to go by. All of us have been very hospitably received and relieved by the inhabi tants of this village, and the Coastguard officers have provided us a place to lodge in until Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., or Lloyd's agent, take us away from this.—Your affectionate husband, GEOROZ SwAGER." The rpe nter, in a letter to his wife, dated " Moelfn, Iced Wharf Bay, Oct. 28," says : "My dear Wife,—l am sorry to inform you that the ship is a complete wreck. She boa gone to pieces this morning, about 5 o'clock. There are only about 25 to 30 of us saved out of about 400 souls." The Royal Charter was an iron vessel of 2,749 tons register, built and rigged as a clipper, and far nished with engines (auxiliary screws) of 300-horse power by Messrs. Penn, of Greenwich. Her length was 320 feet, and her breadth of beam 41 feet 6 in. She was laid on the stocks at Sandycroft, near Chester, by Mr. Cram, of that city, from designs by Mr. Grinrod, of Liverpool. Mr. Cram intended her for a sailing ship, but while on the stocks she was purchased by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., and, under the inspection of Mr. Patterson, of Bristol, she was transformed into a screw steamer. An attempt was made to launch her on the 31st of July, 1855, but this failed, and she did not retch the water till the 30th of August. In appearance she was a very graceful vessel, and her passage. were re markably rapid ; but differences o opinion existed ' as to her strength, and it is stated that during the last ill-fated voyage from the Horn to Queenstown she was much strained. Passengers arrived at Liverpool yesterday even ing from Bangor state that the Royal Charter had broken up, and that the country people had commenced plundering. The local authorities had sent for the assistance of the military, and it is stated that an application for assistance has also been sent to Captain Mena, of her Majesty's ship Hastings, now lying in the Mersey. LATEST PARTICULARS. C7IOIC 001 OWN COESESPONDONT.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY NIGHT. • A letter, dated Beaumaria Wednesday evening, and addressed to the editor of the Liverpool Daily Post, states that at dusk this evening the only parts of the ship standing were a small part of the stern, with the wheel and the screw fitting apparatus, and a fore compartment. The ship struck at three on Wednesday morning and broke up at seven. Before striking her cables parted one after another. She tried to steam off the coast, but the wind blowing a hurricane she rapidly drifted ashore. Bluelight' ' and rockets were fired for several hours before she struck. Several bodies have been washed ashore, the majority greatly mutilated. Men were picking sovereigns off the rocks, and an efficient coast guard was much wanted, the collector of customs doing his beet to protect the remains of the ship and cargo. Mr. Wagstaff, another gentleman who visited the wreck last evening, has made a statement which tends to show that Captain Taylor, deeming it hazardous to make the Mersey in such a fearful storm, hove the vessel to, and that she drifted into Dula. Bay, where the anchors were let go, but the screw kept moving, in order to ease the strain upon the cable. At 2 am. she went upon the rocks. Mr. Wagstaff states that a negro seaman swam ashore, with a line to which a hawse was attached, and that two persons were in this way saved. Doubtless many more might have been rescued by the same means had not the vessel parted amidships, letting the engines through and eogulphing the whole of the people on board. It is understood that when the rigging was cut away to ease the vessel it became entangled with the screw, and the latter thus became useless. The bodies which have so far been disco vered are for the most part dreadfully mutilated. The rocks were strewn with money and vale able, belonging to passengers. A bag containing 100 sovereigns was picked up, and large quantities of loose sovereigns also found. The boatswain's mate, saved, brought away 4001. with him. Mr. Smith, the collector of customs, was indefatigable in preserving order and preventing plunder after the wreck. It is confidently expected that the bullion will be recovered. A detachment of men from the Hastings frigate lying in the Mersey have been sent to assist the local authorities. Reporters who visited the wreck to-day have jut returned. They state that 470 souls perished, and that the number of saved is 39. On arriving at Point Lynius the captain sent up signals for a pilot, but without success. When the vessel first struck Captain Taylor went down into the saloon and told the passengers to keep up their spirits, and that there would be little danger if they kept calm and obeyed the instructions of the officers. ' A clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Hodge, was moat assiduous in his attentions in giving religions com fort and offering up prayer. The repeated strokes of the vessel, however, upon the rocks told too ' : plainly the story of destruction, and soon the pas- 1 sengers became fearfully alarmed and excited. When she parted, large numbers of the passengers were crushed to death beneath the falling funnel and other portions of the machinery. Mr. Stevens, the chief officer, was killed by the falling of the rig ging. When last seen alive—and he was the last man seen on board— Captain Taylor was clinging to a spar ; he cried " There is hope yet," when, according to one reporter, • boat fell from the davits upon his head, and he perished. Several of the crew saved them selves by the hawser before described, and others of the survivors were saved by swimming and taking hold of floating spars, &c. This partially accounts for the melancholy cir cumstance that not a single female was saved. The bullion chest, which was substantially built of iron and secured to the framing of the ship, is supposed to have been shattered, from the feet of a gold box having been picked op with the address of a leading banking firm upon it. About 230 sovereigns and a quantity of notes have been picked up among the rocks. At least 30 b dies which have been cut ashore are lying in the adjacent church ; most of them are frightfully mutilated. William Hughes, the only apprentice saved, states that when the vessel parted he was in the waist, and was precipitated I among the machinery, which was hurled to and fro by the action of the waves. He had given himself up for lost, when a wave lifted him clear of the ship and landed him in an unconscious state. The survivors during their stay at the scene of the wreck were very kindly treated. Two ladies made them selves conspicuous by their attention to the sufferers. It is stated that all the boats were in perfect readi- Rees for lowering had circamstanose permitted. The following is a list of the passengers saved: W. Moss, Thutoss Gundry. it. Carew Taylor, sabot masseaen. M.

[ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] There can be little doubt that the ill-fated ship, being driven down to the Angleton coati by the fierce N.N.E. gale, was about midnight on Tuesday found to be almost nobayed. Captain Taylor caused anchor after anchor to be dropped, and when everything that could hold had been got down, the ship for a time rode to the enormous breakers that constantly came in upon her. To ease her in the sea, and to relieve as much as possible the strain upon th e cables, the screw was kept turning, and there were hopes that the gale might be lived out. But it was not so to be. The wind increased almost to • hurricane; the ship laboured fesefally in the troughs of the teas; and, as a last resource, to ease her, the foremast was ordered to be out away. This was not enough. The main mast followed; and then the minimalist. Again there was a manse of rellefa recurrence of hope, despite the combined fury of wind and waves—for the fine ship rolled less end pitched less heavily. It must have been a desperate position of straits when the order for cutting away the masts was given. For the steam power was necessary to help the anchors in keeping the ship from rolling in upon the iron-bound shore; and the risk of the rigging fouling the screw, and so rendering useless that all-important auxiliary, must have been known to be very great indeed. The fate of the Prism., in the Black Sea, and several other vessels, proved the danger. And so it happened here. The floating rigging and spars did foul the screw, very soon after the minenmest had been cut away; and then there remained no hope but the anchors. How long this horrible state of suspense lasted, is not yet known; but it moat have terminated about half-past two in the morning. The cables snapped in succession; and before 3 o'clock, the vessel struck the rocky bottom of Moelfre Bay. She surged on to her destruction: stern foremost; as she got higher on the rocks she swung and there she lay broadside on to the terrible see, which thundered home almost momentarily, as if to grind to pieces her iron frame. Rockets had been previously seat up ; but there was no Coaatgusrd station neer. Hardly a house can i/e seen from the cliffs, and, in fact, human aid, even if it could have been of avail, woe not to be had during that terrible night. Rockets were constantly fired. Blue lights were burned, until, as • survivor states, " the whole bay seemed on fire." A sight of the coast must have sent yet mother chill to the hearts of the doomed peseengers and crew. But hope was not abandoned. If a rope could be once got ashore it might be the means of saying many if not all on boar d; and arrangements for landing one were made as soon so dsy broke. Heroism Is not a thing of race or colour ; and In this terrible hour, a black sailer (as we are assured) was the volunteer for this last effort. He had • fearful struggle with the bock waves; though the dietetics to the rocks and to safety was short, truly the way was long. But the stout swimmer succeeded. Then it was, in the moment of revived hope, that the death crisis came. Hoping for his SUCCOIN the captain and officers had collected together on the deck, amidships, as many ea possible of the women, the children, and the weaker of the passengers. They were to have the first chance of once more setting Lot en laud. But the ship had been giving unmistakable signs that she was severing amidships; sad now, with one terrific crash, she parted completely, her stem and stern dropping deeply into the sea, and • huge boiling gulf raging between the two great iron masses. Who can realise the scene at that moment ? It is believed that 200 human beings, at least, were all but instantly thrown into the sea ; and them the struggle mast have been short. Only those who have escaped can convey the fainted idea of the horror of that scene ; and for any par ticulars of it we moat wait, seeing that no survivor had reached Liverpool up to a late hour this evening. The part ing of the ship occurred about seven in the morning. At six o'clock last evening, then was not twenty fed of the vessel visible; except that occeeionally • huge wave, as It rolled on, left exposed a portion of the stern, with the wheel still in its place. Iron plates mid beau!is had been flung high up en the rocks; and there they dangled in positioas to which it would be imagined that no wave could have lifted them. Deck beams and planks, and articles of furniture and clothing, splintered and torn to rags, ware In almost every nook of the rocs; and dead bodies pitiably battered and disfigured were frequently bang washed ashore. The Paris Moniteur, after announcing the death at Count de Colleted°, rye :—"The count, who within the last few years had represented Austria as her ambassador at London sad at Rome, had been appointed in July last to take part In the conferences at Zurich as first plenipoten tiary. Ile displayed In this last mission, as in all the others which he had previously tilled, that iotelligenos and straight forwardness which distingulahed him in en high • de gree, and we cannot but unite in the regret which him prema ture death will excite in the minds of all those who have had an opportunity of appreciating the eminent qualities of his character and of his intellect." The Malta Times says:—" The South Western, a small English steamer, which has been recently employed in the Barbary trade, tote been sold to the Pasha of Tripoli for 4,6001. She is to be employed by the Pasha as a mail boat between Malta end Tripoli. Him Highness has made a good bargain, es abe is a tine little vessel, nearly new, and could not have been built wider a much larger cost." The Viceroy of Egypt, letter; state, had lately narrow escape while going by railway from Cairo to Suez, the train in which he was travelling coming into collision with that coming in the opposite direction. Fortunately the engine-driven were able to check the speed of their machines in time, and the shock was but trifling. The Viceroy is said to have been highly indignant at the accident, and lava ordered that the railway (Adele shall be severely punished for their cereleimeee. AN ACT OF BENEFICENCE FY A SHIP'S COM.

It appeared from the evidence that was then eddnoed that the nutortunate woman was in receipt of 40. for ten hours' work at reeving. Much sympathy was expressed for her at the time, it being believed that the offence was committed under the pressure of the direst poverty. She was sent to prison for the .fence.
