EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (lion OCR OWN PARIS, MONDAY BVININO. The event of the day is the appearing* is titt Cortstilutionnef as d Pay. of another double-barrelled article by M. Grapier de Casugnae, which, like the former one about the "ingratitude" of Italy, was beyond all doubt dictated at St. Cloud. The present manifesto, headed in very large type, "The Fortifi cations of Antwerp," is intended to propagate the notion that the King of the Belgians in proposing to his parliament a vote for strengthening the defences of his great commercial port on the Scheldt is a mere tool in the hands of England, who, looking forward to a war with Franc, wishes to provide herself with an entrenched camp in Belgium. The project of fortifying Antwerp, he says. ie brought on the lapis every year on the return of King Leopold from England, and always causes surprise in the minds of sensible men. Why Belgium, declared a neutral power by the trestles which constituted her, should consent to incur a considerable expense for works of protection of no utility to herself, has always been an enigma, the writer declares, to persons who only regard the surface of things; but the real motive for that coarse the article declares to be the following : At the end of July, 1109, batmen the battle of Megrim end the peace of Vienna, whilst the Emperor Napalms I. was at the farthest part of Moravia, the English threw 40,000 men, supported by mom them 200 meek of war, tato the Isle of Welchem", at the mouth of the Scheldt. Our raiders kaow that the sapodition was mot uneassofol. Kept in check • long time by the Luke gamine of Flushing, la issidaMl by the preparatioas of K tag Louis of Holland, of Marshal Bersadotte, and of Admiral Mionesay, sad, atom a ll, momaiehed by fever, the Eagllah left the Scheldt on the 6sh of fteoprasaber, after an attempt which wee without motet sad withered glory, sad which la thirty/es days had cost Inward, 20,000 soldiers. It would seem that, Sorasseiag camplicadaas on the Continent, and enlightesed by the lamentable attempt of 1309, the English now desire to secure to themselves both cloacae of swore. It is cereals, in foot, that is cam of a new dieetobarksoloa the island of Walcherea could not balance the advertise which the poe.idon of Antwerp with Its citadel mid a large monnethed camp would offer. Thus to =wader the Channel as a river, mid to make Antwerp a formidable tite.ift post, which would enable Hoglble troop. to disembark end to establish Mimesis's when they please= the C..atioest, that is a math which, la default of others logically expiates the design which Belgium appear/ to estertois of comersetteg costly britelostroso against ea imaginary enemy, 'roust attacks which common mane readers improbable, sad treaties impossible. Either the pro ject of &Mitre% Amenity hes that eigniflcatios ow it has nose at all. Troth to speak, this project calmly examiaed dole nee seem to us to be either for the intend of lagiewel we for that of Belgium.

Tbia evening's P in allusion to the above article, "We shall shortly have to notice the effect which this article cannot fail to produce on England and Belgium" In the Said* M. Hula, although disappointed at the peace of Villntranet, deprecates discouragement tea the part of the friends of Italy, and, being evidently persuaded that the present conference at Zurich is utterly incompetent to settle the Italian question, he insists upon the absolute necessity of a congress, and offers reasons for entertaining the hope that its Labours would be successful. His first argu ment, founded on the assumed natural leanings of the heretical and schismatical powers, is not much calculated to induce Austria, who is understood to object to a congress, to come into one for the put , pose of being outvoted. M. Havin says: Toe principal dificalties are the confederation of the harm Stains, Venice, sad Rome. Bat we are of opinion that by convoking England, Rues* sad Prussia, Prows will be stranger than if Piedmont and France, notwitheisading the tarot victoria., should have before them Roman and hos tel= diplomacy. French stamens would god themselves !• at woe when to the sacred 1211111111111 of nations tho other party should craftily sad istahhowely oppose the interests of ',Octal end the spirituel pewee, which have nothing what ever to do with the eeyeateetka of Holy. Taking it for granted that the populations of Tuscany and Modena will never resell their ancient rulers, he proceeds: - - Am to Parma and Pismire, mixed to Pied leant since the first outbresk tile Mir, Austria did sot include them in the walla' she rFirered in favour of the duchies of Tawny and Modena. fat ime, therefore, re turn to the questions which really exist—to Venice, Rome and the Italian Confederation. It a cougrema should meet, it is well known that Ragland may be regarded se haring certain eagegeownte with Venice. At all times, English statesmen have proclaimed their sympathies for the dethroned Queen of the Adriatic. These aegagementa are each that all good faith among men should be doubted, if the ripe- semiatime of the present English ministry would not energetically demand for Vendor, obese nationality le recognised by treaty, instdetions her to the other states of Italy, _ As to the Italian Confederation, we have already eigeresed our matimonts respecting it; the principle easy biped, but everything will depend on the manner in width ft Is applied. If the confederation were orgenleed as earthen shortsighted politicians have suggested, it would be the goods* blender that could portably be committed. Ault& would be miss than compsmeated fur the loss of Lombardy, sod mead attain an end permed by her for air turbos pest—she wouki be ell powerful in Italy. but the organisation, so spoken of, is inedmiesible„ sad the Emperor who bas engaged to favour en Italian coafederatioe, can °sly gigs his support to an institution which would realise the desires of both the Italians and French, and secure the bade thedsoos and liberty of the Italian nation. For our part, we would reject every combination which did not receive the smut of the populations. The writer in the end minis up the object of the article in these words: We desire liberal institutions for Venice; coneiderablo reforms in the gape) governmeet ; that the Mates of Central Italy shall be allowed to choose the form of government they prefer. Ws wish to see e congress of the greet powers assembled to preside over this new organisation ; ws object to any kind of ceelederation which would allow Austria to regain any inflames whatever In Italy; we object to the restoration of the fallen princee ; Europe end France well know the result of restoring dynasties by force, and how keg they lest! It is rumoured that M. Pietri, who has just re turned from Italy, will be shortly sent there again on another secret mission, the object of which, it is believed, is to second the efforts of Count de Reiset in Central Italy. ro what end those efforts are now to be directed is a subject of much difference of opinion. It was sertainly feared at one time that he had gone to prepare the way for the restoration of the dukes. Subsequently several Italian des patches have declared that he is altogether favour . able to the " wishes and Interests " of the Italians. This assurance would be more satisfactory if it were known with anything like certainty what the Em peror considers those wishes and interests to be. The Opinione of Turin somewhat naively expresses • hope that Count de Reiset's "advice to the Empe- rot" will further the national cause. It was cer tainly thought hitherto that he had gone out to gin advice to the Italians, and not to bring back advice to Paris.

The physicians of Turin on the 6th offered a ban quet to the Medical Staff of the French army. 140 guests sat down to table ; toasts were drank to the Emperor Napoleon, to Victor Emmanuel ,to the Allied Armies, to France and Italy. The Royal Medical Academy held a sitting on the Bth, to which the French Medical Staff were invited. The Lombardia, the official journal of Milan. states that the instructions given to Count de Molest by the French government are most favourable to the interests and wishes of the Peninsula. The same paper states that the disturbance which occurred at Creme on the Ist wu not of a political character, but got up by a person who wanted to be elected mayor instead of M. Fadini, just appointed. On the following day the In.endant of Lodi reinstated the municipality, and caused the Commandant of t►e National Girard and the other guilty parties to be arrested. Since then public tranquility has not been again disturbed. The Turin ladipenctonste mentions a report pre- I veiling on the 6th instant in that capital that the French had entered Pisa/era, and adds that if they had not done so there could be no doubt that they very s h or tly would ; that there rem►in in Italy 48,000 French troops to be divided among four sta tions or garrisons, of which Piacenza is one. The Turin journal is of opinion that this must not be looked upon as a danger to Italy, bat as a safeguard against Mattis, as a guarantee of the maintenance of ceder, sad of the full liberty which the popula tions of Central Italy are to enjoy in the manifes tation and expression of their wishes for the future.
