Til letter of Prince Eetthith Dl CARIGNAN to the CRSIMIIier BUONCONPAGNI wr ribiishen in 1 the Pietkiwagsse Gazette of Tuesday bat. Since than i the telegrsph has done nothing bat report the strong disapproval with which it hes been viewed I by the French Government. This opposition is incomprehensible, considering the sentiments which the EMPIROR is always professing for Italy. If • that curtailment of the programme of the war to • which the preliminaries of Villa/ranee bore witness, and which the EMPEROR publicly lamented imam- i diately on his return from Italy, was regarded by I him as a misfortune, should he not be glad of the independent action of the free states which were not represented at Villarnmcs, and whose rights he did not, because he could not, give away ? That ac tion, limited to the indubitable rights of the 'gents, cannot compromise him with his new ally. Surely the agreements of Sovereigns who were ' strangers to the Central Italian States are not to he put on a level with the solemnly expremed will of those states themselves. If so, than is an end of all independence, save for those which have overwhelm ing armies to protect them from the caprice of their neighbours. The King of SAnotritA acknowledges the rights of the small states to independence. No doubt it is difficult to reconcile some obligations which he has entered into with this recognition; hence the embarrassment of his situation. The Austrian way of keeping the engagement is disregard to the rights of the Tuscans and other free Italians altogether ; and this fairly simplifies the matter. It remiss to be seen how the Sardinian Government will set in the trying position in which the French Government kne placed it. The Paris journals, lAA this time teat week announced that the Reims, bed been unconditionally refused by the Priam Di Cann:team, now state that the Chevalier 2IIONCONPAGNI is about to extricate the Sardinian Oeveranient hem an uneasy Mutation by declining the Rageary. For the sake both of the Sardinian and French deveranient• we should be sorry to see each a coarse taken; but we apprehend tbat the prime object, the anion of Central Italy, would not be frustrated seen by such a measure. Perhaps even it might be well if the United Provinces were placed in • position to show the world that while preserving the undoubted right to form alliances they can carry OS their political and military administration without extraneous aid. It is only common prudence thee to provide for their own security. They prejudge nothing in so doing: they only fulfil the first duty of every state. There is se power in the world, individual or collective, which is either bound to perform it for them, or has a right to take it oat of their hands. They, not a Congress, are the judger of what is good for them. If the European Powers assembled can allege that the Italian States are injuring them, or any one of them, by what they are now doing, they will have a right to ob ject, bat not otherwise. The pretension of a Congress to be a special providence in Europe would be pre posterous. It would renew the follies and injustice of 1813, and °meld never be admitted by this country. Tut General Order of the Horse Guards touching corporal punishment in the army, is a singular document. It is impossible to withhold praise from the COMIAND6I.IIf-CHIEP for excellence of inten tion. So far as the offences to be punished by flog ging are defined—so far as the imprudent harsh ness of some commanding officers is restrained, the order has its advantages. But at the earns time it is impossible to read the terms employed by the COMMANDIR-IN-CHIET without being utterly posited to make out the real opinion of his ROYAL HlOll - IS to the character of the punishment with which he is dealing. Is flogging good or had in its effects? Does its infliction promote or relax diati pline? Have the Hone Guards merely yielded to popular clamour, or is this new order the spontaneous result of acquired convictions? Ho the Horse Guards believe that the order is question is a final settlement of the flogging disc-na tion ? And lastly, is the order intended to be carried into effect in good faith, or to be evaded and trifled with, like so many orders emanating from the aims source? To issue a command and to see it obeyed U. two vastly different things, and nowhere is this more commonly illustrated than in the British army, The British officer is the creature of tradition and prejudice, and any order which violates either is practically a dead letter. Let us hope for a better remelt in this case. But, above all, let it not be imagined that this General Order eta be a final settlement of the Hogging difficulty. Hitherto, ma the very terms of the General Order admit, the estimate of military crime and the allotment of punialiniant by nouns martial have been very unequal; and, in fact, it is to remedy this serious evil that the maw order has been issued. The new plan is Betting aside time of war as exceptional, all men on entering the army are to be taken as belong ing to the first close, and excepting in cue of aggravated autism 000 duct are not to be liable to esepsral punishment. Again, military arisen are divided into two stems. Any soldier is the int elm committing an Alum of the first clam, such as drunkenness, riotous conduct in the streets, striking a comrade, or escaping from confinement, is not to be subject to corporal punishment. But a soldier in the first class who commits any ounce under the second head, such as desertion, mutinous conduct, aggravated insubordination and violence, drunkenness on duty, embeuling public money, theft, or other disgraceful sots showing vicious or unnatural propensities, may be degraded to the second clams and if the like offence be re petted, may be Bogged. Moreover, a soldier in the second claim committing a crime under the mond head may, although he need not, at once be flogged. And it must also be remembered, that after a whole year's good conduct, the soldier degraded to the second clue may be restored to the first. To which it mast be added that the mew order is completely suspended with respect to the army in the field. The order concludes with a hope that this elmification will deter the evil•disposed from com mitting offences justly subjecting them to severe punishment, which, though necessary to maintain discipline, should be restricted as much as possible. It is not difficult to see the real feeling et the Horse Guard,. in this matter. It is obvious that they regard flogging as the necessary, if not the only means of maintaining discipline. It is, therefore, difficult to understand upon what ground they have tied the hands of commanding officers, and have prevented their enforcing discipline by what they consider the moat efficacious means. Physical oourage does not always imply moral courage, and it almost seems as if the Hone Guards had surrendered their own judgment at the call of what they still believe to be a popular fallacy. But in truth the surrender is much more apparent than rest sol if any proof were wanting, hen it is. The essonsem at Woolwich, which have in fact given rise to this order, arose out of the excessive number of desertions. The deserters were punished by dogging, and according to Colonel NORTH and others this punishment wee absolutely essential to stop the imesides evil. The men of coons who deserted re Wien of the best character. But consider the aim regulations and what difference they will make. A slight offence will degrade a man to the wooed class, and then if he deserts be is liable to corporal punish ment. Desertion, in fact, is the very first crime ander the second head. Our contemporary, the limes, has discovered that flogging is now practi cally abolished. Indeed, this General Order is de clared to be the melt of its warnings and remon strances. During the Woolwich scandals no journal was louder in denouncing the flogging system. But in truth what change has been introduced—what existing rule would prevent a repetition of the same thing? As before, a soldier of questionable cha racter. if he deserted, would be subject to corporal punishment. And, indeed, it seem that under this General Order the very sane soldiers who suffered flogging at Woolwich for desertion would be liable to the same punishment ander the reformed system. The truth is, that the change is a change more in maw than in subetanoe. But let it sot be supposed that these remarks are made with the view of undermining the discipline of the army. The crime of desertion is perhaps the most serious crime a soldier cas commit, and in war should be punished by death without scruple. In peace, if not punished capitally, it ought not to be trifled with. According to the Horse Guards, backed by General Part and Colonel NORTH, the discipline of the army cannot be maintained without flogging. if deserters are not flogged the whole army will become deserters. These short-minded pedants know that thirty or forty years ago flogging was considered an essential principle of discipline. It is quite true that in those days flogging was a real punishment, and the man who suffered it was considered disgraced. Then public opinion sanc tioned the punishment; but now the whole thing is changed ; every soldier who is flogged is a martyr. However infamous may be his character, he is elevated em the victim of a great principle. Thus the men who are degraded are the officers who order the punishment and the doctors who preside at its execution. Flogging, instead of being a degra dation, is in fact a canonization. The consequences are obvious and deplorable. Discipline is relaxed. Officers are coerced. Bad soldiers ate made more insolent and more insubordinate. It is impossible to maintain a punishment unless the public voice will continue to call it a punishment, and the history of flogging is no exception to this axiom. Why then persist? It is idle to say that no other punishment exists or can be invented. It is childish to pretend that if desertion and drunkenness are not to be punished by logging, they cannot be punished at all. Surely, the Horse Guards are not so igno rant as to suppose that flogging is essential to the discipline of an army. Neither amongst the French nor the Piedmontese, nor the best armies is Europe, is anything of the sort permitted. And even in the British army the very same argument adduced to prove the necessity of fifty lashes used to be adduced to prove the necessity of five hundred. We set aside for the present the fact that digging fails in accom plishing its purpose, though it would not be difficult to prove the proposition. We restrict ourselves to the ground that a punishment, in order to be a punishment, must be supported by public opinion, and it u abundantly clear that flogging bar long ceased to enjoy this privilege.

The official Gatette of to-day, after announcing the message conveyed yesterday to Prince Carignan by Cavaliers Pertuxi from Tuscany, and by the Com mandator., Miughetti from the Romagna, gives the Prince's answer, in which his Highness tells them that being himself unable to carry on (esereitare) the regency in Central Italy, he " designates " to those States the Cavaliers Boncompagni as the temporary head of their government. The Gazette publishes also the letter of the same Prince to Boucompagni, in which he begs him to assume the high office in question, and declares that Victor Emmanuel's government will never acquiesce in any foreign Intervention in Central Italy, nor permit anarchy to compromise its safety and its rights. Herein you perceive the middle way taken by the ministers, The inhabitants of Central Italy are so inclined to accept any determination adopted by Piedmont, that they will, I have no doubt, rest contented and pa tiently wait for better times. In the meanwhile, the moral mystification will lead to new pismires. At the suggestion of Prince Carignan there will be only one minister of war for the four proviuoes, and two governors under Boncompagni's orders. The dic tator Farini hes already declared that he does not refuse to hold office under the new regent. Bat what will France say P If we may venture to con clude from what her ambassador thinks, she must be dissatisfied. The Prince Latour d'Auvergne had no sooner read this morning Prince Eugene's letter to Boucompagni than he came in all baste to the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, and clamorously but uselessly endeavoured to put a stop to the whole business. It is certain that the Sardinian government stands in need of great firmness and greater courage. The diplomacy of the Tuileries continues to oppose in every possible way the annexation, and its usual tactics are to bully. I believe I can assert positively that the Emperor wrote some days ago to Xing Victor Emmanuel these precise words : "If you permit Prince Eugene to accept the regency, you place yourself absolutely in the wrong. Yon ton the risk of losing everything, and I shall not be able to save you." ... . _ .. . _ . The telegram published in all the French journal, and in which it was said that Prince Carignaa had not absolutely accepted the regency, was fabri cated at Paris with a view to prejudice public opinion. The Paris correspondent of the Literary Gazette writes Apropos to dresses, there is a system estabUelmi at Compt4goe, that to English ideas doe. seem something positively wicked. Four toilettes a day are about the general requirement, though there are days whon only three ere neceuary ; the Invitations are for eight days, and no lay is expiated ever to be assa twice wearing the same gown• Count this up, and you will thud an average of thirty or thirty-two toilettes to be eerrled down to the court.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM 0111 ORS PARIS, FRIDAY BYIIIIUIO. M. Oranier de Cassagmac, that bird of ill-omen, as he has been lately described by the Nerd, has an article in the Pays again reproaching Italy for her ingratitude to the hero of Solferino and biagenta, and characterising the unanimous wishes of her people as " Sterile illusions and hollow utopias." He goes upon the hackneyed imperial tack of attributing to agitators and demagogues the ex pressed opinions of the country ; he insolently tells them that all their plans are impossible, and that the utmost they can do is to paralyse the generous intentions of their liberators, and prevent his pet confederation from being established; for, says he, Austria will not join the confederation if Tuscany be united to Piedmont, neither will the Pope join it if he is to be deprived of a portion of his state s. These mixed menaces and lamentations of M. Oranier de Caseagnao are not very logical, for the hypotheses just quoted supposes that the " sterile illusions " may succeed so far u relates to the annexation of the Duchies and Romagna. Well, but that is just what the Italians are now working for, and they will receive with great equanimity M. Oranier de Cassagnae's asser tion that without a confederation " there may be isolated Italian States, but no Italy." On that point, while looking hopefully to tkelatue of Venice and Naples, they will consider themselves the beat judges. M. de Cassagnac, however, though evidently with much misgiving, brings himself to express a " confident hope" that the projects of the Emperor Napoleon will be realised, and that the Gangrene will give the " desirable and necessary sanction." By way of encouragement to Italy he concludes by saying, that all the powers, with " Austria at their head," have shown their esteem for the Emperor Napoleon by choosing Paris for the congress. " Shall history ever say that the Emperor Napoleon met with more confidence from Austria than from Italy ? " The ..dmi de la Religion, which I have not been able to procure, publishes a version of the Ling of Sardinia's answer to the Emperor Napoleon's letter. The Paris says it has " all the character" of a for gery, and that it has been seized. The eeisure by no means proves its falsity, for newspapers are often prosecuted because they contain thing.' true. How ever, I am told that in the alleged letter in question there are several passages already admitted to be fabrications at Turin. , Referring to the recent French interferenoe in ' Italy, the Opinion Nagionale says: We tear that diplomacy greatly mistakes its legitimate powers. It assumes to regulate everything, instead of leav ing to the people themselves the largest possible part In the 'management of their own ash% And yet it ie inspowilde to deny either that the Italians have a perfect right to ad vance the tutored' of their nationality, or that they have, with most admirable tact, disoarned imam the various ems bleat:lons proposed to them the one most surely eel °dated to lead to their independence end liberty. The harmony which now prev►ils among this }so * so long divided, is an incontrovertible proof of the latter assertion. The whole future of Italy lies in this word— unification, and if Italy forgete that she is lat. Strong in this convictioe, the Italians energetically repudiate the pro ject of a confederation based upon the restoration ot the dokw, with Austria for one of the members. The Lilian press, with one voice, declares that such a confederation would but realise a design long pursued by the mint of Vienna, the evident result of which would be to substitute for an arbitrary and pardon. meddling with the affairs of neighbouring anew, a perpetual intervention, and a pre ponderance the more assured that it would be legitimated by Europe, for Austria would be permitted to proceed to humble and lower Piedmont with the help of the other member. of the confederation, via., the restored dukes, the King of Naples, and the Pops. This lut paragraph of the Opinion Nationale, so graphically depicting, as it does, the radical vice of the treaty of Villafrancs, is very apropos. We are without any news from Italy to-day. telegraphic or otherwise. It has probably been kept back. The government journals say not a word more about M. Buoncompagni, or the probability of his accepting his mission in spite of French "ad vice." The Bourse has been all day in a stagnant state. The Rents fell 150. for cash, and closed at yesterday's price, 69fr. 96c., for account. Mobilier fell 3fr. 76c. In railways there is scarcely a shade of variation. A ooneolidatiou of the Anglo-French entente cor dials has been effected et Rome of late—at any rate as far as concerns the amenities of individual friendship—by the sojourn of the British representative in Raw, Mr. Odo Russell, during a three weeks villeggiatera with the French ambassador, the Duke de Onunont, at his exoellanu's de- Vidal residence near Frascati, the Villa Meatier!, " midst whose shady groves of olive, cypress, and ilex," writes a correspondent of the Pad, " the diplomatic repre sentatives of the two great allied powers roamed together,. gun in hand, cnnoartiag doubtless the future destinies of Italy, and inflicting occasional death upon the larks end thrushes that people the wended hills of Tesculans, and form the autumnal delight of Roman gastronomers." Much sensation ILL been produced at Rome by the arrest of Edgers Santangelo, a leading number of the young liberal party, and a personal friend of the ea•Pied montese Minister, Count dells Minerva.

Thomas Dale made the following reply : Reverend and dear Brethren,—lt ie with the utmost gratification that I receive this daunted of your roped and esteem, proceeding as it does from so many of those with whom I have been associated in the pastoral charge of the vast perish of St. Pancras, sad without whose co-operation I could nem have accomplished the objects of which you have been pleased to epesk in tenth of such high and on merited commendation. I accept, also, with unfeigned and Ilvel gratitude, the united expreedo of your wish that I sYsaY untied to reside among you as vicar of St. Pancras limas sherd drcumetencee, and no inner encumbered and 2=ol by those parochial responsibilities which have ender the portions of the local acts, constituted an bawd mil lesecerabis poetise of the office. I would it woe peellie kr no this to ad. Not a few are there among m inims of the arm as there are many swag the members et my merepn, to whom I could fitly address the weeds d the Apostle Paul 'Ye are In our berate to lee eel bee with you. 'Est with the request so kindly Ineendell, and so cordially expressed, it is now ~be NO of my power to comply first, besease the orrangements connected with my do o' selleemeat have advanced too fa to admit eemelds setnetation; and secondly, but chiefly, because by elbseleg le sly original intrados of relinquishing for the hew all weed laterest istst. Pancras, 1 may hope to awry eat mese ellectoally the great : principle of yaw-hid snb-divielen which I publicly avowed at the commencement of my Imisobency, which I have kept steadily in view throughout the thirteen years of Its coat nuance, sad for which I have cheerfully 'drifted a large portion of my is come and • still larger measure of my peers. I need badly remind you, my dear brethren, that the unkaidlioel anoma lies of Bt. Pancrd, with which many of you are se= conversant, arise chiefly from impeded and legislation. The local acts by which the ecclesiastical affairs of the parish have been administered for the last thirty years were purposely so constructed as to concentrate all spiritual responsibilities on the person of a single incumbent, and to piece all the other parochial clergy in the relation to him of subordinates or stipendiaries. It has been *filmed by • high legal authority that ' the state of the kw under those acts formed en insuperable obstacle to the providing ropsely for the cure of soul..' Much has indeed base dews at various times by the Joao ' dection of clauses into the several Church Building Acts, and more especially by the 19 and 20 Vie. c. 104, commonly called the New Perishes Act, to mitigate the pressers of the local act*, but no authority edept that which legalised the evil can avail to provide the only adequate and effectual remedy. it is thraldom the *aka both of our dined= and of the friend who is most deeply interested in the creation, that application should be made to the legislature, in order to • fair and equitable settlement, and that it mig ht be be expedient to deter the legal avoidance of the until a bill fat that purpose can be carried through the one of Lock. The Bishop hair expressed himself willilng to wider. take the chard of such • bill, if he can be seeded that in so doing he represents the opinions and the principles of the great body of churchmen in the parish. It ought certainly to be made known (and ie no way can this be mon effectually done than by the introduction of such a bill into parliament) that while the existing acta continue in force, future vious of St. Pseud, will, like myself, derive no eadhustent what ever from the surplus pew-rents of the church, amounting after the payment of Par t h l expenses to 6001. per annum, while yet a large portion of the fees and offerings which now constitute almost the sole emolument of the living will peas, as in all fainted they ought, to the incumbent of the sew parishes. I will not, however, on an oeassion such as this, enter further into the details of this complicated but most important quieten. I will only add, in reference to it, that my present purpose is to cease from performing the duties of the pariah church from end after January let, 1860, and that the formal and final resignation of the incumbency of St. Pancras will follow as soon after that date as the Bishop shall think fitting to re ceive it. On one account, my dear brethren, I may well claim your sympathy. Many of you will readily judge bed your own feelings what mine mutt be on the several= of the tie thee binds ms to the congregation of the parish church. Prom that couregation, needing nothing for itself, I have needed larger contributions to the great cause of church eithethea than from the entire residue of the whole palish of Bt. Pancras, while my personal intercourse with its members has ever been marked with • degree of regard and affection on their part, of which I now fed myself utterly undeserving, more especially when I candler how often, from a mistaken sense of duty, I have sairriffted the interests of the congregation to what I then sterented the interests of the parish, occupying in parochial oontroverdse and unprofitable discussions hours which Wert have been far better employed In pastoral visitation and kindly Boreal intercourse. Gladly. If it were possible, would I continue with my own beloved flock, if only to repair this error; but it must not be; the interests of the chunk de mend from me this last merino; the Interest of the perish —at least of the poor—demand it ; the just claims of the clergy to complete parochial Independence demand it; and, oust me what it may, it shall be made. But great as the @deifies is, it will be abundantly repaid if, leaving In 1860 twenty parishes, complete or proepective, where in 1846 I found but one. I shall hear that you, my dear brethren, hav ing become each the centre of his own parochial charge, shall be as happy in your Las as I have been In mine ; and still more, if you, by united action, shall effect what I, single handed, have vainly striven to accomplish, the coneentration of the energies of this vast parish in the furtherance of the kingdom of Christ.
