THE French press appears to be as usual com pletely at sea with regard to the policy and inten tions of the Imperial Government on the Roman question. Journals that have the reputation of 1 being semi-oeeial hold the most different language on this subject, and this division in the official expression of opinion probably represents a real and serious difference among the members of the Government, or between them and the' EMPEROR. While the Frante, the organ of the most frivolous and bigoted reactionary clique, fills up its grand outline of an Italian Confederation by naming the Duke of Aosra., the second son of Vicroa EMMANUEL, as the Viceroy of the Southern or Neapolitan Kingdom, the Petrie advocates the evacuation of Rome and the unity of Italy. The C'enstibitiolinel indirectly urges the same course, qualifying, however, its recognition of Italian rights by a condition to which no Italian patriot can object, and which in fact only emphuises the necessity of immediate evacuation. The Italians are told in the semi-official journal that they should " confine themselves to sympathising with " the Romans, and claiming for them the right to " dispose of their own fate and share in the benefit "of the principle of non-intervention." The general tone of these journals is hopeful, and even confident, with regard to the prospects of the Italians and the early evacuation of the Holy City. Feeling strongly that the position of the French at Rome is utterly untenable, they argue, and are evidently disposed to believe, that an armed in tervention, which is a disgrace to France and • scandal to Europe, must speedily come to an end. We heartily wish we could share these antici pations. But the grounds on which they rest will not bear anything like strict scrutiny or close ex amio•c;.-... sn far as Mr. correspondence recently published in the Mani ktfr forms almost the sole basis of these more favourable prognostications. As we have already 1 shown, however, this correspondence proves nothing, indicates nothing, and is for all pram tical purposes absolutely worthless. The letters, written six months ago, were evidently not ex pected to produce any serious result, and they have no relation whatever to the present state of 1 affairs. Their publication now simply shows that the EMPEROR finds himself compelled to say some thing on a question that deeply concerns the honour of France, and which all Europe is discussing. It can only be regarded, however, as a device to gain time, to distract attention, and, if possible, throw dust in the eyes of liberal France and enlightened Europe. If the EMPEROR really intended to act in an honourable, straightforward manner, nothing could possibly be simpler than to say so. If the continued occupation of Rome could be defended on any grounds that will bear the light, on any principles of political morality, public justice, or international law, they might easily be stated. But instead of a frank statement with regard to the occupation, or an intelligible reason for its continuance, we hays only the offic;-' ct " ..‘ n i a relating to a visionary 7....stract scheme that was practically dead and done for six months ago. There is only one conclusion to be drawn from these facts, and that is sufficiently obvious. As the occupation, when indignantly challenged on all aides, cannot be defended, it is evidently indefen sible, and must be continued for ulterior objects that will not bear the light. The EMPEROR. has designs that cannot be avowed in the face of Europe, and so long as the smallest chance of accomplishing his cherished purpose remains, the occupation will be persisted in, with or without a pretext. Nor, though it remains for the present unconfessed, is there any real doubt or mystery as to what this purpose is. It is one of the com monest and vulgarest in the world—the desire of illegal gain ; in plain terms, theft and spoliation. Lows NAPOLION having gained an illegal footing in Italy, and being strong enough to keep it, simply requires to be paid off. He remains at Borne in the hope of being able eventually to extort from his weaker neighbour a heavy ran som as the price of his departure. This rapacious design has, of course, from time to time been dis guised under various, more or less decent and plausible, pretexts. In these days, nakedly sordid and selfish motives can hardly be openly confessed, and designs that are purely violent and criminal must be as far as possible disguised. The Imperial spoiler has accordingly from time to time professed with affecting unction, ardent zeal for the interests of the Church, and deep concern for the welfare and protection of the HOLY FATHER. But time, which, according to the maxim, reveals all things, has effectively revealed the hollowness of these professions. The progress of events has de stroyed one after another all the pretexts that have been urged for the occupation of the Holy City. The real motive is at length laid bare, and is fast becoming apparent to all the world. It is the motive that has animated thieves and robbers, spoilers and extortioners, in all ages. As the man in possession,the EMPEROR of course talks of having • duty to discharge at Rome, but he intimates plainly enough to the heads of the national household that he may be bought off. And he would cheerfully , sacrifice the Church and sell the Fora to-morrow if he could only get his price. While he 1 THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY piously professes to be simply etching ev2ta and waiting on Providence, he is by e Bible means, by threats and by tion and cajolery, to effect his sit ow purpos i and conclude an infamousat. e non V in t terms. This is the real ".difilim of the . question, and all Europa is In&ieskid in 'Jetting an end to an armed intervention which is prolonged on these terms, and for such objects. This pira tical policy menaces every state alike, and if tolerated in any shape must produce the most serious and disastrous results. We do not speak at all too strongly or a moment too soon. It is time for the Powers of Europe to resist this aggressive and rapacious policy, carried out by means of diplomatic violence and coercion. Two years ago the Emperor of the Fatima dared to avow this policy of international robbery as a prin ciple of his government, and then, as now, it was with a special view to territorial aggression in Italy. In prospect of Naples being added to the king dom of Italy sorely against his will, the EltPlUtOlt is reported to have said, in an interview with Lord Colmar :—" It was necessary there should be no " misunderstanding on the part of her Idaiserv's " Government as to the change which GABIJIALDA " expedition might effect in the policy of France. " He had frankly warned the Sardinian Govern " ment of the consequences. The principle which " he had recently laid down (in the case of Savoy " and Nice) must again be applied, in the event " of further annexations being made to Sardinia. " The balance of power, again disturbed, must, in " the case of France at least, again be redressed "by the territorial extension of the Empire. The " warning which he had given to the Sardinian Go " vemment he would now give to her MAJZSTY'II." No doubt this unusual frankness was partly the result of vexation, and partly employed as a brutum Mown. But the pretended " principle" so insolently announced is simply an audacious formula of international robbery and violence. To recognise or allow in any shape such an out rage on all recognised laws and rights would be to undermine the very foundations of political mo rality and public order, and to introduce confu sion and discord into every state of Europe. No country would be safe if an unscrupulous Power were permitted, first, to gain an illegal hold on one province, and then to demand the surrender of another as the price of letting it go again. That, however, is the policy which the Imperial MACAIILE of the Tuileries has announced, and which be is striving to carry out at Rome. Fortunately the attempt is predestined to utter and ignominious failure. Such a scheme becomes impossible the moment it is publicly known. And it is a dis honour to France that any attempt at carrying it into effect should be made in her name. It would be a still deeper disgrace to Europe if there were the very smallest chance or possibility of its success. rb Court. RHEINHARDTSBRIINN, BKPT. 29.

We regret that we have to announce the death of Major-General Siz John Penney Wilmot Inglis. H.C.8., colonel of the 32nd Regiment, and commander of the troops in the lonian Wands. From a private letter from a noble and learned lord nearly connected with the deceased hero, we learn the sad intelligence that Sir John Inglis died on Saturday, the 27th ultimo, at Homburg. It will be re membered that this distinguished officer was in command of the garrison at Lucknow, and defended that position with a very small force of English soldiers already enfeebled by privation and by the diseases incident to a hostile climate against an enormousl♦ dispreporttoned force of mutt seers. For that noble defence be was made a Knight Commander of the Bath. Subsequently he was appointed to the important post of commander of her Majesty's troops.in the lonian Islands. But his health, abase by the long anxiety and desperate privation of the defame at Luckoow, could not be re-established in so adverse a climate as that to which his new duties consigned him. He continued to sink until his medical advisers thought it their duty to recommend that be should try the move congenial sir of Germany. Sir John Inglis was r►ther over 50 years of age. Yesterday the various medical schools of the metropolis were opened for the winter medoe, and as usual inaugural oddment were delivered by the wet dis tinguished profanes.

And I owe you gratitude, 0! English nation, and I feel it aa much as my soul is capable of feeling it. You were my friend in my good fortune, and you will continue your precious trienduhip to me in my adversity. May God bless you. My gratitude is all the more intense, 0! kind nation, that it rises high above all individual feeling, and becomes sublime in the universal sentiment towards nations of which you represent the progress. Yes, you deserve the gratitude of the world, because you offer a safe shelter to the un fortunate from whatever side they may corns, and you Identify yourself with the misfortune of others you pity and help.

And what should we be in Europe without thy dig nified behaviour? Autocracy can strike her soiled ones in other countries where only a bastard freedom is enjoyed—'' where freedom is but a lie. But let one seek for it on the sacred ground of Albion. I, like so many others, seeing the cause of justice oppressed in so many parts of the world, despair of all human progress. But when I turn my thoughts to you, I find traequillity from your steady and tauter advancement towards that end to which the human race seems to be called by Providence. Follow your path undisturbed, 0 ! unconquered nation, and be not backward in calling eider anions osa the road of human progress. Call the French anion to 'cooperate with you.

Call her in every way with your own voice, and with that of her great exiles—with that of her Victor Hugo, the hieropheat of emceed brother hood. Tell her that coalman are to-day an aberration, the emanation of insane minds. And why should we conquer foreign lands when we must all be heathen? Gall her, and do not care if she is for the moment under the dominion of the Spirit of Evil. She will answer in due time, if not to-day, to-morrow ; and if not to morrow, will later answer to the sound of thy generous and regenerating words. Call, and at once, Helvetia 's strong sons, sod clasp them for ever to thy heart. The warrior coos of the Alps—the Vestal of the sacred fire of freedom in the European continent. They will be yen !

THE ROMAN QUESTION. The /adepeudance of yesterday says : -- - The Emperor Napoleon, who is the supreme arbiter of the situation in Italy, has indicated what his views are as to the final solution, but he leaves the world in utter dark ness as to the time fired in his mind for the accomplish. meet of his designs. We are assured that 11. Foald, during his recent visit to Biarritz, made an attempt to sound the Sovereign on this point, but without the least suc cors. The Emperor confined his answer to the simple statement that all the noise which was made about the Roman question would not advance by a single hour the decision which he had resolved on. In political circles where this statement finds credit, the probable conclusion is drawn that the Emperor is desirous of allowing tho question to arrive at such a point that any solution will be accepted as a relief ; but the conviction is strong that the evacuation of Rome is in principle decided on. M. de Lavalette has arrived in Paris, and letters from Rome state that he will not return as ambassador to the Holy Sera. It is said by others that he is charged with a •-• , -;nn from the Pens to the Emperor. INTOLERANCE IN SWITZERLAND. The Grand Council of Argan, in Switzerland, having voted almost unanimously (there being only one di sentient) that the Jews should, to some extent, be admitted to political rights, the opponents of the measure immediately issued a petition demanding the revocation of the Grand Council. According to the terms of the constitu tion, as soon as this revocation is demanded by 6,000 citizens an appeal to the people becomes a matter of course. The petition having re ceived more than 9,000 signatures the people were convoked in their comitia, and decided by 25,000 to 9,000 that the members of the Grand Council should have their mandate revoked. "ft is," says the Independanee Belge, " a strange thing, and one deeply to be deplored, that such an example of in tolerance, and such a flagrant infraction of the principle of religious liberty, and of civil and po litical equality, should be given in a country essentially democratic, which Europe has been wont to regard as the most impregnable citadel of free dom."

The "Latest News' of the French journals of the day before yesterday—which s►id that an am nasty had been granted to Garibaldi and his fol lowsra--bas not been confirmed by telegraph. The Opinion Nationale says, to-night, that " the amnesty is decided iu principle, but that the King meets with certain opposition which may give rise to new modifications in the cabinet ; nevertheless, although the amnesty has not yet received the royal assent, the fact that it will bedecreed is certain." The Prase, whose sanguine Turin correspondence I noticed the other day as beingdoubtfnl because of its being so exclusive, says now, "Our Turin corres pondence reveals new ministerial embarrassments and sudden changes, describing the situation in this paragraph : I wrote to you on Friday last that the liberal party was triumphant, and I told you the truth. I now write that the military party has got the upper hand, and that is true. Who knows what will happen to-morrow.' " The late stories about the Emperor staying at Biarritz &het to acasequenoe of or the expectation of fine weather are now abandoned, and it is said that he will positively be at St. Cloud from the 4th to the 6th October—a date fixed long ago. As to his Majesty's health, which is often a subject of discussion with the public, the Pays makes the following announcement : _ The numerous excursions on foot made by the Emperor in the Pyrenees, his baths, and his excursions on the sea, have ■till more fortified a at•te of health which was never stronger or more ss,tislantory than now. . _ _ The following curious rommuniqut s , which the author of the "Impressions of a Flaneur in Paris " cannot fail to notice in the nest edition of his work, has been inflicted by Marshal Pelissier upon the Courrier de rAlgerie The Courrier de rAlgErie of Sept. 73 publishes a corms poedence from Paris which contains the following para graph : "So the great problem is now propounded, and the France says positively that Italy is about to hare its December 2.

This paragraph at the bead of the leading column of such a government journal as the Pays is either merest trifling or the indication of a new and better system.

The thirty-second meeting of the British Asso ciation for the Advancement of Somme having been fixed to take pleas for the third time in this famous university city, so early as Monday the gentlemen who are officially con nected with the proorediegs, and to whom the mai.a portion of the arrangements have been com mitted, commenced their labours. Some of the visitors also arrived as early as that day, but they were principally gentlemen connected with the university, who were soca abserbed in the quiet re treats of their own colleges and balls, and they did not, therefore, contribute to the Walk sad animation which was expected to have been occasioned by the advent of a large scientific emaciation. Indeed, it was not until late yester day (Tuesday) evening that any perceptible influx of visi tors into the town occurred ; and even this morning, to in habitant. of populous cities, there was nothing very remarkable in the appearance of things, and the decorous quiet which is presumed to be the characteristic of a grave seat of learn ing was not palpably disturbed, althou gh there were really a considerable number of persons (' strangers," to use an expressive parliamentary word) in the town, as wee proved by the fact that at an early hour this morning the various oelleges were invaded by carious sightseers, who took the opportunity a ff orded them by the Amos of any public demonstration on the part_ of the British Association " to do the university."

THE INTIB.NATIONAL EXHIBITION. Yesterday was a lovely day, but with a consider able fall in the temperature. A large company gathered to the Exhibition, and found great addi tional enjoyment from the altered state of the atmosphere. It would be impossible to select a better time for visiting the Exhibition than aniline October weather, of which, let it be rememb ere d, only sixteen shilling days now remain open. What the prices are to be during the supplementary fprt night has not as yet been settled, but if, as bas been stated, they are to be five shillings, or ei , en half-a-crown the Commissioners may calculate on an exceedingly select attendance, the more espe cially as many of the exhibitors will remove their goods the moment their agreement with the commission has expired. Besides, as the object of the extension of time is to give au opportunity for trade, tho levying of a heavy toll on entrance would completely destroy the market. One of the class men made a determined attempt at suicide yesterday afternoon, by cutting his throat, and was promptly removed to St. George's Hospital. The extent of injury inflicted by the unfortunate man upon himself had not transpired when we left the building. The following is a list of the schools, kc., visit ing the Exhibition yesterday :—Mechanics, la boerers, &c., from Barrett, Ezell, and Andrews, Reading, Berke, engineers and agricultural imple ment makers, 500, expenses r aid by the Hem ; Ttb City Rifle Volunteers, 20, expenses paid by Capt.

Prosper Merim6e and Mr. Panizzi, of the British hiumeam, have (according to a Bayonne paper) strived at Biarritz, on a visit to the Emperor Napoleon. A curious instance of what the French call "game laws" is mentioned by the Droit. A young rasa of about twenty was arousing himself by shooting sparrows with a peashooter, on the open space before the Invalid's.

A prophet from Utah has appeared in Paris. Fearing that the police would not allow the public dieee• minaticie of the marvellous doctrines of his sect, he hes ooramitted to the press a volume which seems to promise to have an ertraordinary circulation, if its canasta an correctly stated.

The Tralee mob have served Gavazzi greatly. He lectured me Tuesday night in the Metropolitan Hall, Dobbs, which was very much crowded. At the conclusion of he discourse he referred to the riots Aponte length. After all, he rid. the Teals@ mob did not touch him, booms it els not the fint time he lad said to an Irish mob, " Take moo ' sot to approach too near me, because I am a Garibaldi's." He respected the Irish. They fought well la the British army and in America, but it was sot courageous to attack a meeting in which the majority were ladies. Some of thus who did so won the medals of Castel Fidardo, where eel ran away after a few shots, and left their amoral in the heeds of Cialdini. He eshorted the audieece to lake earl of their right+ and privileges, but not to retaliate.
