Tim proverb which bids us go abroad to hear tidings of home is receiving ample justification, Loring the limit week or ten days all the most im portant foreign news hair referred to the resolution and actions of England, especially with reference to her participation in • projected Congress. The Minis terisl Paris press, overleaping all intermediaG difficulties, announces that England has agreed to enter the Congress; and the Dresden Journal, more Austrian than even the Viewsa Gazette, proclaims that we have agreed to do so without any condition. The simple fact is, that the conditions which must he settled before England can enter a Congress are not yet agreed on. With this fact before him, the daily reader will be in no denser of being misled by the bewildering statements of the foreign press. The British Govern ment has never objected to discuss Italian affairs in a European Congrese. It could not consistently do so after having raised its voice in the Congress of 1866 oo behalf of Italy. Bat England has never pretended to regulate the internal concerns of the Peninsula. On the contrary, the Earl of CI. Minos founded his right to speak of Italy on the occasion referred to on the fact that non-Italian States were inter:meddling there: and the policy he represented had for its sole object to pat an end to the interven tion of foreign Power, in the affairs of that country. and replace its component States in possession of the independence contemplated in European treaties Much that then needed undoing in Italy has since disappeared. A large portion of Central Italy is in actual enjoyment of that self-rep toting, self•disposing power which was then rather desired than hoped for. We tare seen the Duchies when freed from the menace of Austria, and deserted by sovereigns who could not enders the cooseious (saner of their position, formiag oiliness and confederacies, and disposing of their allegi ance in the orderly exercise of national moneeignty. W. see them now free to moil their truant Priam, with or without cooditioes, or to forbid their return. So far, then. as concerns Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and Boloins, oar moderate wishes are taltilled is the mere feet that the people of those states and pro. vinces an left to manage their own affairs. They will be faitilled in the rest of Italy whenever the Princes and people are left to settle their differences by themselves. If the people of any State acquiesce is the dental of consecrated political rights as the Neapolitans rippler to do, we do not object it is sot ear brumes to decide for other people how much henna they oeed. If people of another State, like the subjects of the POPE, find themselves held dawn by a foreign army, we matt in ensile tency seek the removal of that strange campreesion. Foreign states:see sad publicists who pay us the compliment to discus our policy will do well to remember that these simple sod intelligible prim ciples an Bat those of a party is this country—they are hold by the great body of Englishmen. A Tory Admiaistratien would net be allowed to violet; them sad a Literal Ministry that should de se could mat hes Pasbeasset. They are tee plain to be utienedernsed, tee esivenal to be questioned, sad tee menses to be inerreadsmd to the most valued Ally. We ham natural sympathise with Sardinia as a Cannibalism! State, most of us have our pinions as to the needful guarantees of Italia* iodevendence ; but esesiderations of this kind are bat secondary. and WO ananimouely postponed to the supreme and simple drain that the affairs el Italy may be lift to tee Italians. With these profound convictions and sentiments It is simply impossible that we mss become partite to any grand *themes for giving away t►e crowns of Italy irrespective of the wishes of the pespie. We repudiate the least pretension to dispose ef the allegiance of Inseam or Madame,. It libidos. mid theirs only, to give to the most worthy. If the Tr ans think that the Amines Archduke FIRDINASID Ind defend their independence ageism their heredi tary enemy as ardently as he fought at &Merino to destroy it, we shall sot question their opinion. If the Modem's can satisfy themielves that the young Bourbon whom father and grandfather Parma could not and would not endure will blossom into a pa triot Duke, we have not a word to object. Only let them decide. Once more, before the opportunity shall have passed away, let as, as la oar duty, seriously remind oar own Ministers of the dangers they will run if they enter a Congress without the most positive stipulatioes ttat the populations of Italy shall be left free to decide their own destinies. The danger is, we say, not to Italy, for the fate of that country is in the handset( Providence, but to ourselves, if through weskit's., or deluded by treacherous hopes, we abandon the solid vantage ground we now occupy to venturesome( the swamps and quicksands of diplomacy. In any European Congress that can assemble the representatives of free and constitutional government most be in a minority, and, although it might be well worth the while of despotic powers to make some material coaii cessions for the sake of entangling us in complicity with the principles on which they have always pre tended a right to dispose of the nghts of peoples and nation', the resolutions of such a body, if not re strained by preliminary engagements, mast be in imical to liberty, and therefor* amatory to this country. Oar Plenipotentiary may nourish a thea trical protest, be may make • some, he may with draw, but it will then be too late. We shall not be able to subtract hoes the European Areopagus all the authority we brought to it. The Ilsaperor of the Pitescti has warned us of what we may expect. In his letter to the King of SARDINIA he develops a plan not only for imposing i the GRAND Dear on Tuscany and the young Duke of resist on Modena, hut for constructing a system under which the national life of Italy shall be chained to the corpse of Papal, Austrian, and Nea politan tyranny. He has provided, as fart his will extends, against the consolidation of the free govern ments of Central and Northern Italy, and although we are told that no force is to be used to destroy the independence of the Central states, force is employed at this moment to prevent their annexation to Sar dinia, unanimously voted by the people, who wish to have their independence established by an Italian instead of by a French guarantee. The country look. to Lord PALMERSTON, to Lord JOHN Rue- WELL, and to Mr. GLADSTONE to uphold its dignity is face of these pretensions ; for if we comet now nuke a stand for the mese of nos-intervention and self-government, it is time " to deplore "—in the words of M. DE MONTALEMSERT—" the gradual destrestioe of that public and social spirit which peed:seed our great men." THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7. 1869, THE UNITED ST4TES. LIVERPOOL, BLNDAT. The steamer Africa, from New York Oct. 26, has arrived ; abe brings 1,462,000 dollars specie. The following steamers had arrived :—Anglo- Saxon, at Quebec; Gomm Queen, Kangaroo, and Persia, at New York. A Washington telegram says " The despatch of General Can to Mr. Dallas, in reply to that of Lord John Russell to Lord Lyons, in relation to the San Juan affair, went out by the steamers which left New York on Saturday. It is firm and decided in its tone, and will be approved by the unanimous verdict of the American people, as I have good reason to believe Lord Lyons lead a protracted inter view with Secretary Cass, undoubtedly in reference to this subject." The same authority pronounces the affair in its present shape serious, if not threatening. The cricket match at Rochester, between the Eng lish 11 and 22 Americans, resulted in the triumph of the former in 1 innings, with 64 runs to spare. The New York Tribune of the 26th ult. has the following relative to the Harper's Ferry outbreak : " The preliminary examination of John Brown and the other persons implicated in the insurrection at Harper's Ferry commenced yesterday at Charles ton. Brown being formally asked if he had counsel, said he had none ; and when the court assigned him legal advisers, protested against being subjected to a mock trial. He said that he had not been allowed to see his friends, and counsel whom he had sent for had not arrived. He did not ask for favours, how ever, and advised the court to spare itself the trouble of going through the form of a trial to legalise his execution. The court prohibited the publication of detailed reports of the proceedings, se no impar tial jury would otherwise be obtained for the trial in the Circuit Court. The prisoners were remanded for trial before the Circuit Court. The testimony was subsequently sent to the grand jury, who did not conclude their examination last night. The telegraphic reporter says that the indictments will be found and the trial begun to-day. He also says that ' it is the intention of the prosecution to proceed with the execution of the prisoners immediately after their conviction. The court has refused to allow anyone to see or converse with Brown, fearing that be would say that which might, by being published, inflame the slave. against their masters." \Volta frosts had occurred at some points in the south, but nothing to damage crops, and the accounts continued favourable. The Walker filibusters recently arreeted and tried at New Orleans had been discharged. California dates Oct. 5, and 1,871,000 dole. in gold had reached New York. The California news is unimportant. An outbreak in the state prison had beer. quelled by the keepers, after killing two and more or less wounding other prisoners. Basin.. at San Franoisoo continued dull. Dates from British Colombia are to Sept. 27, but there is nothing of interest respecting the San Juan affair. The Americans are represented as con tinuing their fortifications and entrenchments. The Boundary Commissioners expected to establish the line as far SA east of Fort Colville before winter set in. The legislature of Vancouver's Island was about to be dissolved. From New Granada we learn that General Moe quera had raised the standard of revolution, and taken possession of Lartagona and other points. The revolution originated in opposition to the elec tive law. The President was actually enlisting men for the war, and had placed the country under mar tial law and closed the ports. Neither the Panama, nor Aspinwall, nor the railroad route had been affected by the outbreak. From hi ezioo there is nothiog of importance. LATEST.

The writer of the letter from winch we derive this information, says that the English Admiralty Is making prodigious efforts to regain the termer numerical superiority of England. It carefully watches every movement in our dockyards, sad latterly, when it heard that we were building I...Wiwi& vessels at Toulon, it put two upon the stocks also. What ever diligence our neighbours may use we shall be ready before they are. The two vessele alluded to at which men are now working night and day at Toulon are designed upon the model of the Nepoleoci, our most magnificent ship of war. They are covered with iron or steel planks, which raider them proof molest the most powerful projectile.. They will curry only 311 guns, bat the calibre of these is so loge that they will easily sink a three decker. The Nord says that M. About has been asked to Compiegne. Should this news prove true the clerical party will be well nigh out of its wits. ITALY. -,.- SARDINIA. (rams oust owx 008111111tONDENT.) TURIN, Orr. 31. A few days ago about fifty deputies met privately to discuss the serious emergencies now affecting the country, and after an animated debate of three hours the following order of the day, proposed and argued by the deputy Mansiani, was voted all but unani mously —" The undersigned deputies having assembled privately have expressed their wish that ministers should pursue a constantly active and resolutely bold policy towards Central Italy as regards the work of annexation, seeing it is already completed, and that the sole material act of possession is all that is wanting. The said deputies wish also that the armaments should not be SU.. pended, but rather continued with the greatest poe• Bible energy." This vote was communicated to the Minister Rattazzi, by Signor Be Pretis, the Vice- President of the Chamber. Rattszzi did not treat it disrespectfully, for it accorded with his own wishes, but he lacks the authority and genius of Count Caveat, who would soon free himself from feeble colleagues and choose others. In the meantime, the old so-called Piedmontese party hangs bank, and many of them say they desire quiet and will be satisfied with Lombardy, Parma, and riseenza, which two last are now positively promised by Napoleon 111. They say, that as foe the rest of Italy, divine Providence mast think about that. This party would not be sorry to create jealousies between Turin and Milan, and would like to establish the French system of perfect centralisation. The government, however, is too wise for that, and has already decided on transferring the supreme court of appeal to Milan. Miglietti, the keeper of the seals, refused to sign the decree, and he has accordingly resigned his office. Rattszzi has accepted it provisionally. He, of course, will sign it, and then some one will be ap pointed to fill Miglietti's place permanently. But I repeat, that if more competent men, men more in spired with the national sentiment, do not enter the cabinet, Central Italy will be left entirely to herself, and that, too, at the very moment when she will stand most in need of Piedmont's assistance. In Romagna especially, order may be disturbed at any moment, for there are very evident signs of a rising in the Marches, and Garibaldi's troops are displaying such impatience to cross the frontier, that it is doubtful whether discipline will be able to restrain them. It was on this account that the King invited that general to Turin, who after the interview with his sovereign left again suddenly. If lam not misinformed, he promised the King to redouble his vigilance and enforce obedi ence, cost what it would. but a proclamation, issued by him on the 18th of this month to the Neapolitans; produces the impression that his own mind has become affected with impatience. Since writing the above I have obtained indu b;table evidence of the existence of the letter of the Emperor Napoleon, and of the substantial accuracy of the published version. I have reason to believe, on the other hand, that Napoleon, while thus writing to the King, gives our ministers to under stand that they are not wrong in opposing the pro ject of a confederation. SPAIN. From the Madrid journals of the lit it appears that the enthusiasm caused by the prospect of a war with Morocco continues to increase. The chapter of the cathedral of Toledo and the cardinal archbishop of the diocese had sent an address to the Queen de claring that they are anxious to assist by all means in their power in promoting the success of the war; the Bishop of Onihuela in another had declared that he and all his flock will not only offer up prayers to the God of armies for victory, but are ready to place at her Majesty's feet for war "their property, re sources, and lives." The municipalities of Seville, Granada, and other large cities had sent similar ad drones, and wealthy merchants and manufacturers were offering donations in money nr kind. A Turkish ship of the line of 100 guns had arrived at Algesiras, and a Sardinian squadron was expected. Marshal O'Donnell, before setting out f, r Morocco, was to pass a grand review of the troops forming the garrison of Madrid. The Congress had authorised the taking into consideration of a bill for reducing the caution money of newspapers. RUSSIA.

They lett the horses, and wandered to end fro along the dimly perceptible tracks, in the vain attempt to find some path leading to human habitations. It was a bitter night ; the wind was very boisterous, and piercingly cold ; the snow and sleet fell fast on the ground, and was whirled in blinding eddies through the air. At length the poor boy became quite ex hausted, and sank by the way-aide, declaring that he could go no further. His purls wee in an agony of distress; he lifted the lad up, and with great difficulty carried him fora considerable distance. Presently a glimmering light appeared In view, and he placed the poor boy down, and ran forward In the hope to gam assistance; but it was only an tgnis fates., and disappeared from sight. The man then hastened backwards to find his young companion, but failed to retrace his steps, end coul d not tell where he was. lie than attempted to deemed to the valley below, and scrambled down some steep rocks, at the imminent risk of his life, and alter a time he reached ilefan-y-coed House. His voice was heard and recognised, the family was aroused, • fire was tigers!, and the bruised and nearly saturated man was put to bed. A party started off to search for the ill-fated boy, whom they found tying in the told, grey light of the morning, quite dead sod staff on the bill side, about half a mile from a small cottage, neer to the Nanuerth Farms.
