Tug Commissioners to inquire lots the state of the National Defences have now been appointed. Sir HARRY JONIN represents the Engineers; (nesral C MERON the English 'nay ; Sir P. ABBOT the Indian army ; Admiral ELLIOT and Captain HAT the Navy ; Colonel LETROT the Artillery; and Mr. Fits ts l'io , UN the civilians. They are all able men, though it may be doubted whether Colonel LEFROT is not rather eminent for the interest which he takes in Army Education than for a knowledge of Artillery. The same objection may, perhaps, be made to Oene ral CAMERON ; but, alter all, this objection has not much force; for these Commissioners must be looked upon rather as judges than as practical mem to organise a system of defence. Their business will be to collect and arrange the ideas of those who have conaidered the subjcct of the Nat'onal I )efences. The two names we have specially remarked are known to be persons of excellent common sense, and to a considerable extent free from those narrow profs,- &coal prejudices which would prevent a fair appre ciation of the problem proposed, or a fair conside ration of the various modes of solving it. It is quite certain that neither the mere soldier nor the mere sailor is the beet person to consider this subject; the man who would do so successfully must be some thing of a politician ; he must take into account the questions of finance and the old constitutional doc- Wass against great standing armies. Mr. Fax- OVIIIOII is, we presume, the same gentleman who some years ago acquired some notoriety by what was called hie system of fortification ; but considering the way in which he was attacked by the prefer Mosel Engineers and artillerymen, it is perhaps somewhat hmardous to place him in a commission with his antagonists. There is some danger that the question of National I tefence may degenerate into a diseassion as to the comparative merits of the so called modern against the ancient system of fortifica tion ; but we trust that the good sense of the whole body of Commisioners, and partieularlr the influence of the odious of the line and of the Navy, will be salfir.ient to prevent this malt. Looking to the teems of the Commission, the, question arise*: Ave they too restricted ? The inquiry is to be made "into the present state, coadition, and sufficiency of the fortificatioas ex-1 " lilting for the defence of the kingdom" with reference to the possibility "of any hostile attack • being made by foreign enemies both by sea sad " land." And, again, the Commissioners are directed " to offer such suggestions as may scam meet as " (regard being had to the works completed and in " regress, end to the ordinary somber of oar Royal * 1 Artillery voted by Parliament) will render the .• United Kingdom in a complete state of defence." , Now. es in the awe of most other Commissions, its terms admit of a complete 'elution of the problem of the matiosal defames, or of a very imperfect solution. The fortideatimas lit present existing, however smalh may be amply eallieient to repel 30,000 or 40,000 area, tat utterly iniefficient to repel 200,000 dis• eiplised tramps. The amber of artillerymen may be simply sedleisat be man one set of forts, bat utterly Weariest teems all the forte in the kingdom. The whets questise really tarns upon the danger which is supposed to threat= ; and the first thing to be de termined is the extent sad character of the attack which may be made cm ear shores. The lint questioe, therefore, to which the Coal miesiotiere eight to apply themselves is this— whether the country is really in any danger of as attack by land. Is it true or is it untrue that the English fleet will always, and under all circus. Masses, be able to give aa account of the fleets of the Powers of Europe, either singly or in corabisationt la it utterly taipossible that the Preach Best amid even for three days hare the command of the asanasil, or are the chances of any European lower making a' hostile attack upon our fleet so remote that no pee. vision need be against it? These questions are vita and lie at the root of the whole matter. If so at tempt to attack the English fleet is ever to be made. or if victory cc our part is certain, then, of mune, a loading os our shores is impossible, the existing for tifications are cot only sufficient but useless, and not another farthing ought to be spent upon them. If such be the opinion of the Commissioner, they ought at once to report their opinion and mom maad that sot s single farthing more ought to be spent upon fortifying either Dover,or Portemouth,er lievonport. But if the Commissioners feel reasonable doubts as to the certain triumph of the British tint, then it will be their duty to consider the possibility of some dereiret Power taking advantage of a merely momen tary superiority is the Channel to land ma army ea the Emilia mast. It is hardly possible that any foreign ruler would be absurd enough to land some 30,000 or 40,000 men ; for it is tolerably certain that they could inflict no permanent injury on this country. and they would be destroyed to a man without accomplishing anything. But it will be the duty of the Commissioners to consider whether a much larger force could not be transported to them shores and landed in perfect safety. We have drawn attention to the statements of General SHAW KENNEDY en this subject, and to those of the witnesses front whom he derives his information—some of them °Moms who saw the landing in the Crimea—aad according to their statements it is possible to tran sport 200,000 men, and to land them on the English coast in one long SUMMIT day, if they were not op posed. Now, the public will look to the Commis sioners' Report in order to see whether it agrees in these opinion., and if such a landing wen at tempted, how it would be met. The Commissioners might to be prepared to satisfy the public as to whether a landing on them shores is possible. and to form some estimate of the number of which as hostile army may be composed For this purpose it is of course of the utmost importarins to show the changes which steam navigation has introducied into war, and the extent to which the ocean Is now bridged. The Commissioners will no doubt point out the various attempts which have hitherto been useacoesefully made to effect a landing on theme shores, but they will et the mance time be expected to expnies an opinion as to whether the circumstances have not now entirely chanced. To this we meet odd what la been pointed' eat by Sir Join Suwon's, that sma when oar lest was victorious in the Channel this emantry deemed it requisite to have an army 0[610,000 mmi. If, therefore, the landing of anything like 160,000 or 100,000 is poseible,what means have the Government grads ementry to meet so great a danger, and (sup ring our oacretors were correct in their view) to 'apply the place of those 510,000 men? Upon the whole it is difficult to see that the report will be of much value if it simply answers the ques tion whether the fortifications aide or about to be made are not too large far the num ber of artillerymen voted by Parliament. The real question, as has been already stated. concerns the extent and character of the danger which threatens this country from foreign invasion. If 200,000 men succeed in effecting a landing, will there be say w I. the garrisons of Dover, Ports mouth, and Devooport ? Row many days will they require to push their advances sufficiently near to enable them to destroy the shipping and the docks, and perhaps to march to London ? Again, is any attempt supposed to be made to prevent a land ing ?—if so, how many guns are supposed to be em ployed on that service? In short, the number of artillerymen voted by Parliament should not be allowed to restrict the inquiry into the general questions submitted to the Commission. What the public really want to know is, whether there is reasonable ground to believe that a serious h ostile descent may be made upon the coast, and bow that descents to be met. A fair and candid discussion of this subject, and the development of some method of meeting the supposed peril will alone suffice to put an end to those constant panics, which are not more injurious to the material prosperity than to the dignity of this country. tic eteun. 08BORNE, Anitose 27.

Lord (the Mr.) Brougham wee engaged for the defence, sod having cited the opinions of Abartromby and other illustrious generals to condemna tion of the use of the lash, declared that the real question with the jury was, whether on the most important subedit an Englishman had the prlvilege of expresang himself ac cording to his feelings and opinions—. question which the jury amend in the affirmative by • verdict of not guilty. But this was eat to be the last of the Hunts appearances In the law courts.

The Prince's vanity triumphed over his discretion, and on the preteaded ground of some words of more onion* import, • third prosecution was instituted. The Jury upon this eocasica found a verdict of guilty spiel Leigh Hunt and hie brother John, and tech was sentenced to pay a Be. of 6001. and to suffer two years' imprientnent.

CestatdeGolaohowski (new Ministerof the Interior) is closely ormseeted with the cdtramontane party. He is well known for bis satf-liberal sad even aboolutist opinions. Whim,at the ono ammomasat of the year, the ultramontans party brought for ward the revival of in old law which prohibits Jews from IlMigoyleg Christian 'smuts, Count de Ooluchowekt, with out waiting for the sanction of the Emperor, gave orders to the local authorities of the prosily., of which he wee governor to carry this pretended new law into execation. It wee only on the reiterated complaints of the Jews of Galicia that the count was obliged, by a formal command of the Emperor, t) countermand his order. The speedy dfseolu ties of the council of the empire is talked of hen. Francis Joseph is said positively to intend to replace that body by a mate. Half of the mambas would be aimed by big Materty, and t h e others by the provincial mprematatioser which are about to be everywhere created. Another communication from Vienna of the 23rd mys The new minister of police has this day had a conference in the Hotel !demob w ith the conductors of the politinl jam sale. He expressed a wish that mutual confidence should exist between him and the journalists and promised for his ' part to observe loyally the laws on the press. He dungen sans Indianan as to the manner in which the government desired to see domestic questions treated. It Is said that henceforth the censorship is to cease, so that journalists will not have to blot out or modify certain words or passages of their articles ; also, that in case thejonmals should commit any Intervention, they may be seized administratively, but in that case are not to be cemented. These concessions are an Improvement on what has prevailed dining the last few months, in the coarse of which there has been scarcely a day en which the journals have not had to strike out part of their articles. A communication from Berlin gives the following: The changes in the Austrian ministry have not produced a very &operable impression in Bali'.

TUSCANY. The Tuscan government has granted to General Ullos, who is a Neapolitan, letters of naturalisation, in acknowledgment of his services. It has also issued a circular to all civil, military, and ecclesias tical functionaries, announcing that the present go vernment will continue to conduct public businers until the installation of the new dynirty.

Although we are without news as to the doings of Italy and the sayings of Z urich,the opinion appears to be gaining ground that, come what may, no armed interference in the affairs of the Italians will be tolerated. We shall at least be spared that hide ous blot on the civilisation of oar age. The ques tion seems to have been entirely set at rest by the declaration of Napoleon 111. to the Count Linati, the mayor of Parma. Your readers have heard it, but it cannot be too often repeated Say to the people who sent you to me, that my arms shall never do violence to their will, nor will I allow any other foreign power to do you violence." Seekers after weak points dwell upon the ure of the words, " foreign power." Why not have said " power " simply, they ask ? We should then have the com fort of knowing that Napoleon will not allow the mysterious expedition said to be in preparation by the allied forces of the Duke of Modena and his Holiness of Rome, to carry fire and sword into the duchies and the legations. Not that it is for a mo ment imagined that these potentates can bring into the field any force able to hold its ground for a single week against the troops of Faoti and Garibaldi ; bat surely a heavy responsibility will rest on the French Emperor, if he allows, when he may prevent, a col lision between Italian citizens and foreign mercena ries, upon however limited a scale. In short, no body believes he will allow it. There remains then the question of the moral pressure which may, and probably will, be employed for sinister objects, and objects incompatible with the welfare of Italy, as any must be whittle do not meet with the cordial end unbiassed anent of the people of Tuscany, Modena, and Parma. The following mild language no doubt (rovers 'great deal which prudence prevents the writer (a corres pondent of the Nord) from expressing. After say ing that the two Emperors have formally engaged not only in writing, but in the treaty, not to emp:oy force in reinstating the ducal dynasties of the house of Hspsburgh in their possessions, he add', " the cabinet of the Tuileries nevertheless desires with great sincerity th►t this article (of the restoration) should h►ve its full and entire effect, and neglects none of the means of persuasion which are in its power in order to act in this direction upon the mind of the Italian people. Prince Ponistowski IS still at I Florence. Count Mist has not yet quitted Bologna. He is apparently awaiting there his last instructions. The Duke de Gramme arrived on the 24th at Rome, furnished with the instructions which have been gives him. In a word, all diplomacy is frankly endeavouring to maintain or to restore the ancient order of things, as far as concerns not institutions but persons. Will it succeed ? That is more than doubtful." Heaven grant this correspondent may be right in his previsions as to the defeat of diplomacy! Such must be the prayer of all friends of Italy; I would almost add, all honest men. Rightly or wrongly, the Italians themselves (on judge from private let ters) believe the English government is more then well disposed to them in the matter of the Pied montsee annexation; and in that belief they are anxiously hoping far the assembly of a congress. They well know that if England consents to enter a congress it will be with the certainty that her voice will be heard with effect. The Invalid. Busse continues to insist upon the necessity of a congress, as the only possible way of getting all parties out of the dead-look in which they are placed. It says : It will be interesting to see - how ell this will Web.

In the fare of the elan and treinovable resolution of the Italians not to receive them, we see no other mods of reconciling all parties. The legitimists are beginning is reconcile them selves to the exclusion of their pet candidate, the Rake Robert of Parma, upon the ground that there may yet be something better in store for the yonnker. What other interpretation can we put upon the following remarkable passage in one of their organs, the Gaulle de France, than that they mean to enter him hereafter for the grand handicap of the crown of France? Nothing could be snore opposed to the private political views which we should incline to cherish than the restora tion of the Duke Robert to the state of Parma. We should certainly prefer for this prince to the mediocre rank of titulary of a thecae of the fifth order, that of a sovereign ru dieponi bail( ; no great is the future we believe in store for this young and august head. With these prophets the Belie law goes for nothing, and Robert 11. is to walk over the heads of Napoleon IV., the house of Orleans, and the Spanish branch of the Bourbons. This is going in for legitimacy with a vengeance ! PARIS, HATtIDAY EVENING. M. de Morny's remarks upon the condition of the French press nave elicited some comments upon that delicate subject from the Presse. According to the President of the Council.Oeneral of the Puy-de- Dame, as you remember, the government possesses "no weapon against the press but that of warnings with alleged reasons, and suspension, which are re pressive measures." This is rather too much for M. Nefftzer, who is moved thus to express himself in the Prease : The distinction between preventive and repressive mos wee is not so absolute as one ie at first disposed Miamian All npee 'on has and will have at the same nine a peens ties character. The legislator does not institute penalties the the pleasure of seeing them applied, but chiefly Mader that the fear of Incurring them may prevent the commission of calms and offences. Now, when the warning has already bees given, how is It plasihn to avoid incurring it P Of fences are definite, grounds of warning are not. The insti tution of warnings, then, has the effect of keeping news papers in a state of vague and permanent apprehension, and may we be permitted to add, that we do not think this in , atitution is better for the government, which becomes 'gully responsible whether it uses the right of warning or not. M. Hamer has in theme observations gone to the very extreme length of his tether. Had he dared to speak out he would probably have said a good deal more on the subject. The truth is, no English man can realise the condition of the French press under this government. I should give but a feeble notion of it were I to suppose a state of things in England under which all newspapers were forced to undergo a preliminary supervision at the hands of a set of censors appointed by the Home Secretary and the Chief Commissioner of Police. Such a system would be grossly and intolerably oppressive, but it would have the merit of being simple and intel ligible. . . . . 'Hero the rystem is—at least it bee hitherto been —that of a highly organised, and at the same time artistically disguised, terrorism, worked by the most intricate machinery. It is a perpetual crows-fire of negative and positive governmental action ; a ramifi cation of the fibres of journalism—and, let me add, pamphletism—through every department of the state, every branch of the administration, recognised or unrecognised, from the private cabinet of the Emperor down to the steward's room of a minister. The consequence of this notorious state of things is that, as far as Paris is concerned, the readers of newspapers may be divided into two categories; one disbelieves upon principle everything that is stated; the other holds the government responsible for every opinion put forth. A letter in the Constitaiionnel gives a deplorable woount of the condition of Venice. The indignation expressed at the unlooked-for conclusion of the peace is now said to be succeeded by a profound sorrow. The City of the Doges is as a City of the Dead. Travellers find some difficulty in entering it. New defensive works are in course of erection on the Lido. It is added that at Verona and Mantua, espe cially the latter, the system of repression is less severe. 1 -- 11;ive seen a private letter from Toulon, in which it is stated that great activity is the order of the day in that war port. The writer, a well-informed person, observes that there is a general conviction among the surrounding population on the subject of a gigantic maritime war at no distant period. I mention this as a fact coming under my own per sonal notice; but am disposed to attribute little weight to the opinion expressed. All the best in formed persons incline to the belief that for the pre sent, at least, f Empire c'est la pair. There is scarcely anything to record in the way of Boone transactions.
