Montt indeed is meant by the nomination of Coast EAVOI'II to Congress than as expression of dissent on the pert of the Sardinian Government to the restoration of the Dukes. CATOUR not only repu diates aim scheme, but lading that any other arrange. ment than the creation of a great kingdom, under The NOON of SA OT, in North and Central Italy, must fail. Of this opinion be is the most zealous supporter, and most able expounder. A Congress that should exclude him, would be a tribunal to decide upon the Whirs of Italy refusiog at the °utast to bear the prin cipal evidence. If it be true, se ►lleged, that the Court of Rome ha. determined upon sending Cardinal ANTON ILL! 'Monet( to Courier, the two Italia° rivals, the champions of retrogression and of progress, will meet is the arena. and we trust the public will be allowed to know something about the arguments employed. If the Cardinal precipitated the treaty of Villarranca ►y statements that will sot hear the test of truth, the French EMPZIOR will be the better euallied to discern all that hermitic,s by embracing the cause of the the Popedom against Italy. The disputation between Count EATOOM and Car. dinal ASTONELLI may soon be decided ►y verifies politician.. The one holds the peace of Italy is his hands—the caul. holds anarchy, weskurre, nod war. At the present moment the Court of Turin alone emu asseecise a salivary influence. It has on two or three recent occaaione gone sa far as it could to show itself grateful and obsequious to France. In perineding OtarnAtor to withdraw, in the substi tution of BOYCOMPitieI for the Prince Da CALIGNAN, it proved at eery its influence, its adroitness, and its desire to mescals the new engagements of Franco with the necessities of Italy. But Vicroa EMMANUEL moat feel, what all who observe his panties most see —that he walk, the lengthened summit of a lofty tidge with a precipice on either aide. To retrograde or to stand stilrare alike impossible; onward move ment, without a false step, can be his only safety. To bars seat soy one ell. than:Count Ciontla to Congress, would have teen a grievous error. For how more flagrantly desert Italy than by leaving it •irtually unrepresented in the Coogrese ? The same reasons whisk rendered Count Caroca's presence in CoOgfoon isevitable, must give to his re commendations irresistible force. Every power save one, wh•cb 1. Austria, mast be most desirous to settle the affairs of Italy without the employment of coer cion and compulsion. France has solemnly pro mimed this; and were he to break his promise, NAPOLEON would let loose upon himself aU the mad extravagance of Italian vengeance. England, Prussia, Rennie itself, whatever the bribe kept in reserve for it, must feel equally interested is taking the swords of other military empires out of the balance. The declaration of all the non-bel ligerent powers, that the restoration of the Dukes could only be effected by a renewal of war, must suf fice to liberate France tram the engagement which it precipitately took to labour in their behalf. The fear that prevailed some time since, that Sardiaia Sight be induced or obliged to abandou or compro mise the question of Italian independence, is now completely removed. The nomination of Count (*AVM r. IT a powerful demonstra tion and a sufficient guarantee that Pied mont maintain. or resumes the attitude which that statesman at first gave it. Indeed, NAPOLEON'S consent to hie re-appearing in the councili of Europe may be taken as a sign that rico he is leas Mired down to the elleretleile of the Court of Rome than he was. The ecclesiastics have dared to threaten ►im ; and the Emratton, whatever his faults, is cer tainly endowed with the spirit that resents mach dic- tation. Whilst Fueirs fasten seems doter mined to conciliate the Pore at all risks, and even incurs the, danger of en insurrection in Hungary to please the See of Row, NAPOLEON THE TIIIED, on the money, appears to think that Pontifical sup port may be purchased at too high a price.

Whatever might blithe hol lowness of the scheme of M. De LESSUS, considered as a source of profit on the capital to be employed in carrying it out, it contained a promise of advantage to the commerce of Europe too specious not to be eagerly embraced, especially by states having port. in or near the Mediterranean. The lem the projec was encouraged at the great centres of existing com merce, the more favour it would gain among peoples ambitious of a maritime MOW he which they are not fitted by nature and h►bit, and anxious to ascribe the causes of their past failure) to the disadvantages of their geographical position rather than to their own incapacity. The proposal to remove a great natural obstacle to intercourse with the East by se curing continuity of the voyage fromTrieste,Odelea, Genoa, and Naples to Calcutta, Bombay, and liur etcher, by the Red Sea, is one which was rum to receive a hearty welcome in Southern and Central Europe. It is nothing to the Austrian merchant and shipowner if the money which M. DC LEMUR persuades him associates to bury in the Egyptian desert is lost to them for ever. They want the canal, and do not airs who makes it. The English and Dutch may writs pamphlets exposing the vanity of their expectations; by so doing they only confines the prejudices they would destroy. And not only these who expect immediate gain, but all who do not think they have something to lose by it favour the project. The spirit of the age is in favour of breaking down bar riers, defeating the obstacles of nature, and uniting parts of the world formerly separated. In the face of these interests and tendencies it woe most important that the nature end limits of oar own interests in the proposed construction of the Suez Canal should be thoroughly understood. According to the highest English scientific opinion, the thing would not pay as an investment of capital, and so cording to the calculations of our seamen, the Sues route could not be used for the conveyance of heavy merchandise without loss of time, while it would give us little or no advantage in respect of our paic senger and mail traffic. These are good me sons why we should have nothing to do with the scheme. Bat they do not of themselves justify the statesmen of this country in standing forward as its opponents. It is true the world is front time to time amused that these are the grounds on which our Government has resisted the confirmation at Constantinople of the concession granted to M. DE I.C.SSZPB by the Viceroy of EGYPT. Great Britain is represented aa taking infinite pains, de— interestedly, to protect the pockets of the capitalists of the world, who but for her would hasten to embark their fortunes in the most hopeless of pro jects. The misfortune is that professions like these, instead of causing merely the ridicule they de serve, add irritation to the foolish distrust with which England is regarded abroad. It is no duty of ours to keep the speculators of Europe out of barren schemes. Neither is it our policy to hinder any possible development of their commerce which other nations hope to derive from the cutting of the Isthmus of Suez. Even if it could be shown that by preventing that work we could secure to ourselves advantages which other nations would acquire by its construction, we could not in reason or morality make that a ground of active opposition to the under taking. The good sense of the nation would not permit its Government to do so. The interests we have in Egypt are real and posi tive, but they are so identified with those of th e greater part of Europe that they may be avowed in any congress that can assemble. We con ceive that the credit and dignity of England require that our policy should be openly based upon them. Our interests require that Egypt shall not fall under the control of any foreign power. We can never permit anyone to hold the means of cutting off our road to India. The policy of England, we submit, should be to defeat the project of M. DB LESSEE'S, so far as it tends to effect this result, and as for the rest, to leave it to those who take an interest in the construc tion of the Canal. The concession which the French Company has obtained from the Egyptian Govern ment would be fatal to the independenos either of the VICEROY or of the Sumac, if it were confirmed. It would have the effect of introducing armed foreigners into the country, occupying fortresses on the line of the Canal. Prussia, Russia, and Austria can have no iatenet in bringing about a French occupation of Egypt, and it an hardly be beyond the powers of English diplomacy, if the negotiation is properly ma- naged, to induce them to concur with us in obtaining such ►mendments and limitations of the concession se should make the project of the Sues Canal a purely commercial enterprise, instead of the political quer- Um it is at present. This we have a right to ask. The wrong to which we should expose ourselves by accepting less would justify us in insisting upon each conditions, which, moreover, would be stipu lated as much in the interests of the rest of Europe as of our own. But if these were obtainable, our opposition to the project would surely have at tained all its legitimate objects. It would be a gra tuitous, we will say a wanton, sacrifice of the repu tation and influence of England, if now we were to give thou whose policy on other important ques tions is opposed to ours, reason to say that we are seeking our advantage in keeping back, and not in forwarding, the civilisation of the world, and placing oar own self-interest before the general prosperity of meakisid.

The following is the narrative in the ifonaeur ']laded to by our Peril correspondent : !mt. 3, 1869.—F0r some time pest the French authorities 'at New Cidedonia had felt the greatest saxisty for the security of our rising estaidishmeat of Ithaala. Their chief attention had to be direetall to the protection of the wisdom, who were beginning to °onset round about Napolsonville, ad the commencement ofJuly mammas had been taken by Commandant &Met, the governor, for confronting the threatening attitude of the tuh•bitanta of Hysoguerie, which gave rise to an extremely dangerous agitation In all directions. The Hyeagneue tribe is the mot warlike one in the country; it formerly had at its head • very eaterprising chief n ame d Bonaratte, whom Rear- Admiral Dabourat saw himself obliged to have removed, and who is now living at Tahiti. A few Europeans of the worst description, convicts escaped from penitentiary colonies, had contended for the right of sac ending that chief, and had achieved their design of at the Hymning people, and inspiring them with th e itl a s taking the offensive against us. The necessity of previously finishing • military poet et Napoleonville had caused • delay, which had only served to increase the °ridden°e of that tribe, end the insolence of the adventurers who had seder taken to excite it. Things had come to such a pas, that the tribe threatened to come sad attack the governor at Eensla. The expeditionary corps was at length able to start for it. deadnation on the 31st of August, end landed next day on the enemy's territory . It consistedof barely 160 men. They were divided into eight detachmeats. The fleet two, mast 'lndirection of Commandant Durand, occupied the defiles of the northern extremity of the Peninsula ; the other eh, under the orders of the governor himself, made for the meth. They endeavoured to get the Caledonian mums between two Eves. But our troops were tent numerous enough to bar their =gfar Mee to surround them, and this first day wee et beteg decisive. During the whole of the ni g ht th e espeditionary corps was annoyed in ne emaropment ; ▪ enemies assailed it with • shower of stones mixed with muket abets, to which it was impossible to reply efilosaionaly, end one soldier wee killed by • musket shot fired wady point-blank. On the following day, September 2, the operations con • tinted on both aides of the river, where our men burned several villages. At the attack of the first village, Captain Tricot was mortally wounded, 6o that the expeditionary corps the day after it had taken the field lost one captain and one private, end It counted shady 19 wounded. It found Itself reduced to about 140 men fit for duty, and the redstaaos of the Hyenguenes did not appear to slacken. However, on the first day, the European chief, who had been the principal agent o f the Insurrection, fell into the Mods of one of the French detachments. On the third day we likewise succeeded in capturing two other whites, his am complier.. Tee position of these individuals taken with aims la their hands wee very clew; martial law, proclaimed et the begin slog of the expedition, was applicable to them la all its rigour. The governor, appearing however to hope that their capture would suffice to discourage the re volt, did not hasten to put • council of war In • capacity to decide upon their fate; he waited, It seems, to see discourageurnt seize the manes them deprived of their principal leaders; but he was able to ascertain that the who cautioned to direct them were far from abandoning ur their came and that, on the contrary, they thawed the mselvee reso lved to continue the resistance with the same vigour. Doriog the followleg hays the expeditionary corps was kept continually on the alms by the natives, who Mole under shelter of thy thickets to surprise the sentinels. The famous Jack, who is a European in colour only. more savage than the Caledonians Whale 'node of life be has adopted, sad completely naked like them, ouroteded in getting within 30 paces of the encampment, and delivering his fire. It wee feared the expedition would require fresh and &terser amts. The number of our soldiers was not calculated to Intimidate the multitude of armed men who at every inataat crossed our Ham ; the isdalgeects shown by our commander towards the three arrested individuals had evidently for lie result the encouragement of the natives, and tended only to prolong a contest which could not lest long without becoming dan gerous to our troops already so hammed by the operations of the two first days. Necessity, therefore, required, and the governor's reeponsibility wee seriously compromised if he hesitated to enforce, the application of the law. On the Bth of September the Commandant &Wet convoked the council of war, to which be presented the articles of acensatioa. The guilt of the three prisoners toes so notorious, end the mime of the penalty so distinctly fa diested by that of the mime, that the rentence could not be doubtful. The court decreed immediate execution. In car rying out that judgment the governor discharged • duty which, though certainly • painful one. was one dictated by considerations of public safety, for the sooner of the expoil. don was at stake, and, if this (add, it could bat expose the men to the gravest dangers. This act of repression had moreover all the consequences that might be expected from it. It struck terror into the Europeans, who had put themeless at the head of the native*, sad by depriving the latter of their chiefs it reduced therm to helplessness. From that moment discouragement speed over all the country, end the expedition, which up to the morning of the Bth was still teem win:obstacles and dangers, could now hope to attain its object almost without resistance. Our eoldiers saw bends of the Hyenguenee disperse at their approach, and they did not find a tingle Europese any longer in the ranks of the wives. On the 9th the expedition wee flashed. The governor ennonnord to the people hie departure, and at the same time told them he would grant them no Pardon unless they ex pelled a fasts= number of Europeans mentioned in a deciaion be caused to be published, and union' they gave no the liana chief who boasted of having killed Captain Tricot. The expeditionag onrps then re-embarked for Kenai', which it left on the 15th, crossing New Caledonia from east to west on its way to Fort-de-Freon. PRUSSIA. The Jeicuh Chronicle says: An arourrence lately took place at blysloviez, a frontier town of Prussian Poland, which strongly reminds us both of the some enacted at Bologna eighteen months ego by the Papal agents, and the stirring incident narrated In " Uncle Tom's Cabin," when a female slave, pursued by her teak muter, in order that her child should not be snatched front her, crossed • river on the floating toe. The heroine in this ease was • Jewess, who having bosoms the mother of an illegitimate child by a Christian, had the boy circumcised, and resolved to bring him up in her religion. Suddenly the police appeared to take it from her by force, in order to bring it up in the Christian religion. A most exciting scene now ensued. The despairing mother, her infant in her anise, Bed, bat wss hotly pursued by the police, like a here chased by a number of dogs. On, on she sped towards the Russian frontier, but bee purulent constantly gained upon her. She had just reached the brink of the liver that forms the boundary between the two countries. No friendly bridge spanned the Mom, no boat palled from the shore. The fete of the child seemed unavoidable; the polio. had all but laid hands on her. Bat no, her infant was not to be snatched from her. With the courage of derpair she plunged into the fool, and, holding with one hand the child slots, she swam across the river and safely ruched the opposite bank, where her pur suers dared not follow her. Now, the iniquity of these pr..- ceedings consists in the fret plan, in the circumstance that as the Christian father neither supported nor recognised the child he clearly bad forfeited all paternal rights; and re eondly, in the injustice of the Prussian law, which, whilst it fusee that In all cues of illegitimacy the child is to be brought tip in the religion of the mother, prescribe. that in the case of Jews the infant should be brought app in the Christian esliguat, wheisevir the father Of re,ther happens to be a Christen. We understand that, roused by this lei nnity, a large number of Pumice congregations have peti tioned the goesrameat for the repeal of this unnatural law.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (710 N OVAL OWN PARIS, SPNDAY EVINTXO. The cold in Paris is most intense. At 6 o clock this morning Chevalier's thermometer marked 11 degrees below zero. The Seine is blocked up by heavy muses of ice which, if the present tempers. tore should continue bat a few hours longer, will adhere together, and the river will be frozen over. There is every prospect of another severe frost to-night. It is quite as cold in the South of France as in the north. To-day's letters from Lyons, Marseilles, and Toulon all speak of frost and snow. At Lyons last night the temperature was 10 degrees below zero, and the &One was covered with icicles. The English mails arrived to-day in due course, although a great deal of snow has fallen in the north. The commandant, of the garrison towns hare sent large bodies of troops to clear the lines. The Morning Post, Sun, and Globe, which were seized yesterday,have been released ; the Daily News and Express of Friday remain impounded. The action of the French government upon the press is not of a repressive character merely. While on the one hand it is swift to punish writers who offer unwholesome political doctrines to public apprecia tion, it is not slow to recommend to readers works which it thinks may be perused with pleasure and profit. The very prefect who narrowly scrutinises every independent publication, to me whether he cannot find in it matter for a warning or a prosecu tion, does not think it beneath his dignity to write a pnffdirect ofan official newspaper or review. Thus, as we learn by the Cowrie,. 4 Limoges, Count E. de Coetlogon, prefect of the Haute Vienne, an officer of the imperial order of the Legion of Honour, &c., &c., has jut issued a circular to all the mayors of his department, calling their par• ticular attention to the Revue Contemporaine as a review " under government patronage," which, owing to the "happy selection" of writers whose mission it is to defend " salutary doctrines," is in a highly prosperous state, and has rapidly "taken a high rank among its elder contemporaries.'. The mayor are desired to give the " utmost pub licity " to this authoritative opinion as to the merits of the Revue Contemporaine. The oommon remark th►t an unprecedented crime is often followed by another closely resembling it, seems likely to be further illustrated, in reference to Madame and Angelina Lemoine. The Journal de In Niirre states that at Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, near Cosne,everybody is talking of a case of child burning. A pretty girl of 20, named Heloise G;tenet, after having unsuccessfully attempted to account for the disappearance of an infant to which she had given birth secretly, confessed at length that she had burnt it ; bat she alleges it was still-born. Remains of the calcined bones were found in the uhes, and in consequence of statements made by Heloise, her mother has been arrested as an accom plice. Both mother and daughter are in prison at Crane. It is said that Angelina Lemoine has been placed in St. Michaers Convent—a sort of Magdalen Hos pital. PARIS. Du. 17. The Honiteur publishes a narrative of the execu tion of three Englishmen by the French commandant in New Caledonia, M. Seised, which does not differ 'materially from that of the Sydney Horning Herold, except that the fact of their being Englishmen is suppremed. They are simply called whites and Europeans. The Emperor and the Empress went yesterday to visit Prince Jerome. The bulletins published at the Palau Royal were as follows: Nine in the Morning. The state of his Imperial Highness bee not undergone any material change during the night; the expectoration has been frequent, and slightly tinged with blood ; his situation contbzute grave. . _ Six in the Erasing. The state of Prince Jerome it still grave. A lamina awn in the left ea has rendered the spoliation of a fresh blister naosesary. Saturday, 9 am. The state of his Imperial Highness has undergone no change for the wane. The night has been rather quiet. RATEIL CRUVILLIEkt, LE HELLOCQ. Up to three o'clock this afternoon the Prince will much the same, and no further bulletin had been Matted. There was to be a consultation at 4 o'clock. The Daily News, Morning Post, and all the London evening papers, were seized to-day. The government has suppressed the report of the trial for a separation between Count Migeon and his wife on account of a well-known political personage having been mentioned by M. Jules Fevre. The Bourse opened heavily, and was decidedly weak during the greater part of the day. A fall of Ith in Consols was attributed to an article in a London journal supposed to be semi-official, which says that the English government will continue to oppose the isthmus of Butz scheme. A late telegram reported that Consols recovered to yesterday's price. Towards the end of the day the Bente for account became very buoyant, and recovered front 70.40 to 70.60, at which price it closed, with a rise of 5c.; for cash there was a fall of 16c., the last quotation being 70.30; Mobilier fell 1.23. The upward reaction in the Rents did not occur soon enough to have much effect upon the railways, which closed at nearly the lowest price of the day. The only lice which realised an improvement was Orleans, which rose 1.25; Northern tell St.; &stern, 3.73; and Western, 5; the otter lines, of which Lyons was the favourite, left off without change. M. de la Bourdonnsye-Montluc, a deputy under the Restoration, has just died at his chateau, De Ladle, at the age of 93. He was one of the moat impassioned orators of the "royalist right." It wee of him that the famous mot was said: "II eat phis royaliste qne le roi." He definitively retired from pouueal hie in 1830. GARIBALDI TO THE LADIES OF ITALY.
