Ax•reocan only six meths have elapsed since the accession of Fiume IL to the throne of the Two Skill*, the character of the Kroo's Government has already acquired a positive and well-marked chancier. All the virtue with which the world was wallet to credit the young monarch have been repu diated, all the hopes generously built on the trying and instructive circumstances of his accession have been proved vain at the very outset of his career. FRANCIS is as abject in superstition, as auspicious and mean in oppression, as Fenoceiteu. If there is any difference, perhaps it lain favour of the old tyrant, whose domestic policy had at least the merit of frankness, • quality which, as we are about to show, is not inhented by his weak emeteieor. An impression has become general that the condition of primes who were obnoxious to the Government of tie Two Sicilia. co account of their political opi nions Au been sessibly improved by the accession of the new limo. As oar readers are aware, the number of political prisoners in Naples far eareeda the acoommodation of the State prisons. To supply this defect, the Government has adopted • vast system of iltereenteot, under which a man is compelled to reside as an exile in some part of the kiogdorn where M has no connexion or pursuits, and from which be may not remove. This class of per• sow is pumbered by tens of thousands, and its mem bers are to be found everywhere. They are a source of great inconvenience to the Government, which cannot mealy red itae!f of men against whom nothiag sea b• alleged bat that they are politasally aesperted. Oa the 18th of Jane last King FRANCIS granted what was styled an amessty, wader which it was hoped that tie otters dibili, as prissoors et tide glare are called, would be restored to their hews. their friends, and their civil armories*.

Bat than wee one appeal to which, whatever might be the social reforms of Turkish private gentlemen, the SULTAN and his Ministers wee inexorable. TWO wee to be no interference with the harems. Not the mat suileciou of ambassadors had yet suseseded in eblelidag retrenehtemit in that quarter. The number of leaks the expense of their maintenance, were meng the few gentians wholly out of European ireetrol; and the purity of their lives, which the Porte now openly asperses with a sweeping anathema, was subject only to the secret and midnight ordeal of the wick and the Bos phorus. We have seen even this respectable institution mailed. Certain changes of costume to be adopted in the harems under another imperial decree, and in exclusion of some articles of French apparel, are introdaoed on the alleged ground of pro surdas demesne manufecturs. Probably the real sods of the decree is that of giving a politic sop to the orthodox Mahometans, while their views are en croached on in a more vital manner. For, in regard to the ladies themselves, their sumptuous habits, their extravagance, their corrupuon, inspire the wrath with which the Turkish Government at length woks up from a long and languid dream to a vigorous menties of reform. The Suttee begins to see that there is no reason why his Government should lie seder the liability to be bullied more, or to suffer sere in financial credit, than meet other governments of Continental Europe ; and that if the Cost will but shake off sloth and irresolution Turkey may yet make a very respectable figure in the company of European States. We incline to think that in correcting the extravagance of the harems, the Porte strikes at the root of its traditional misgovernment. This conviction is not unsuatained. Of the enervating influences of polygamy on the rulers of the nation we need not speak. The harems tend to produce two distinct kinds of political corruption. They involve , enormous expense; and as a great Paths can make no display of equipages in a country in which there are no roads, he reserves his display for his female establishment. '. In this department each Pasha tries to exceed the other, in defiance of the ways and means, which however are supplied by systematic peculation on the public exchequer. This corruption being noon i introduced, there is no limit to its extent. Thus, unrestrained polygamy has become an immense charge on the revenue, and the maul decapitation of an offending Pasha by no means deters others from a career in which each hopes, under the doctrine of chances, to make himself safe. Let a definite and restricted tariff of polygamy be estah fished on a sale proportionate to the numbs.. at " tails" possessed by each Paths, and there may be some sort of equality hereafter between his expense' and his means of honestly defraying them. Bat what is hardly less an evil in the present unrestricted polygamy, is the fact that political intrigue has been carried on in an in eresaing degree by the ladies of the harems. Proba bly it is to this in part that the Porte alludes in denouncing their "corruption." Half the insecurity with which we have been wont, whether justly or not, to regard government in Turkey, appears to be thv result of intrigues, for ;the fall of one minister and the glorification of another, hatched in the harems. It may be asked, how I will retrenchment obviate intrigue? Women will still be women, and an isariyante will always be an Carignan. We believe, however, that the test of that supple tyranny is the unchecked extravagance of fantastic tastes and caprices, and the imps ! city with which racy are indulged. Polygamy is • custom which has for some years been greatly on the decline in the priest, society of Turkey. Indivi duals have thus set example to the Stan ; and what they practise, and the Western Powers preach also, the State appears really about to adopt. While the Turkish Revenue seems likely to be improved by leseening peculation and promoting general economy, the proposed fundholders' tax will be a certain direct augmentation to it. The introduction of this principle serves also to increase hi; stability of Turkish financial engagements, by giving the Government a direct revenue interest in their bondholders ; and in process of time probably this principle may be applied to all loans as they nee renewed. Bat we question whether there is any power in the hands of the government to force taxation on foreign bondholders, with whom It has made an absolute contract. When a loan concluded in a foreign country expires, this condition may, of coarse, be interposed oo renewal ; and the prospect that the Porte may succeed in effecting the iserrig•- mast at a future day, will serve to increase its desire to maintain its credit with all bondholders in the in terval. Bat it obviously cannot introduce new con ditions into au existing contract with individuals beyond the reach of its legislative control. Is the meantime, the criminal sentences peseta wpm the recent political offenders indicate that the Porte is not influenced by any apprehension of a feenh sommotioa, as was at first anticipated. The sentences of death, indeed, have been emasauted to long periods of imprisonment; but throe sentences were originally only five in number; and the total num ber sentenced to different periods of imprisonment is not lees than 41. This indimuss that the government feels that it has vigour enough for action, and course to strengthen itself by severe penalties. That the remission of sentence of death will be anything more than nominal and temporary, we are inclined to doubt. Every one who has resided in Turkey knows perfectly well that persons upon whom notorious execution is inexpe dient are very frequently never afterwards heard of. If the Porte will vigorously pursue its promised imam of reform, the personages now withdrawn from the scene will hardly be missed, and we need not hesitate to wish the Turkish Government mousse.

The Milan Gamete says:—" We are most happy to publish the following testimonial of satisfaction and commendation addressed to the Italian phy sicians by the secretary of Marshal Valliant, through the medium of the government :—' Hie Excellency the Marshal desires me to state that, so the number of sick in the French army is daily decreasing, the French medical staff at his disposal is now sufficient to meet all requirements, and consequently the assistance of Italian physicians becomes unnecessary. In communicating to you this fact, I have the utmost satisfaction in fulfilling the mission confided to me by the marshal of thanking the Italian physicians for the devoted seal which they have shown in the French military hospitals, and of assuring them of the deep gratitude of all the French army. I request that you will have the kindness to make known to them these esnliments.'" EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR 01/X PARIS, MONDAY MOONING. M. de Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador, had a hag interview with count Walewski to-day, and it is given oat that the last remaining difficulties in the way of the meeting of the congress have been got over. It is very positively stated that the letter oonvoking the congress will be sent out to-morrow or next day. The Univers treats of the great invasion question, and favours the world with its opinion as to the practical objects which Fiance might hope to effect in case she were to ass fit to " throw three hundred thousand men upon the British shores." Although overflowing with towards England, the ultramontane organ is candid enough to admit that the idea of conquering England, and making her a French province, is simply absurd. The pos session of England would be more embarrassing to France than that of Lombardy was to Austria; to hold it would require such a number of troops u to exhaust the military resources of France, and make it impossible for her to carry on any continental war. Such assurances, coming from such a quarter, are no doubt comforting as far es they go; but although the holy men of the Univers cannot see their way to denationalise Great Britain, they think the three hundred thousand pair of red breeches would be quite capable of annihilating her power. A conquering French general, in possession of " London, the Bank of England, and the docks," would have no difficulty in freeing Ireland, India, Canada, and the colonies from the British yoke. He would destroy all the arsenals and pore on the British shores ; the tricoloured flag would float on the Isl. of France; and England, humiliated, and reduced to the rank of a third-rate power, might be left to make the best of her new position. A Turin letter in the Press. says it is already understood that Count Cavour and M. Desambrois will represent Piedmont in the oongrem. lam much afraid that the new., so far as it relates to Count Cavour, cannot be true. It is well known in diplomatic circles that the estimable Marquis de Villamarina has been recalled from Paris because in the eyes of Count Waleweki he was too devoted to the Italian cause. He made no secret of his inten tion to sustain in the emigres. the Milan programme of the Emperor Napoleon for which his King fought. It was in order that he might not sit in the congress that, in pursuance of a suggestion from France, it was resolved to remove him from his post, and make him governor of Milan. Now Count Cavour is at least as true to the cause of Italian unity as the Marquis de Villantarina, and therefore, unless • greater change has very lately come over the policy of France than known symptoms permit us to hope, it is scarcely credible that Cavour, who re signed after the peace of Villafranca because of the wide difference between him and the French Em peror, can now, with the approbation of the latter, be the first Piedmonts., plenipotentiary in the con gress. I only hope the improbable news may be tree, and then the results of Lord Cowley's journey to London may perhaps turn out to be assatiefactm7 as the most sanguine rumours would indicate. The Seeds looka upon the intimate union of France and England—those two great powers alone repre senting the principle of the sovereignty of the people as distinguished from the doctrine of divine right— s' the main hope of the Italian canoe. It mast not, however, be forgotten that the Emperor told the King of Sardinia in a celebrated letter that his course in the congress we. marked out beforehand (tout tracee)—meaning that he was bound to ►upport the preliminaries of Vitlafranca and the restoration of the dukes. Can we hope that a radical change in his Majesty's intentions has taken place since that letter was written? The Opinion Nationale says that " a remodelling of the map of Europe befog an evident and proxi mate political necessity, llugland and Fianna cannot remain united unless they come to an understanding as to the general terms of this great transformation. If they ;nonld not agree eventa will separate the two peoples, and war on a seals never before seen will be the oonsequenee." At the Bourse the Rent* opened heavily at Sa turday's prices, but there was a favourable reaction and much animation afterwuds. The closing quotations were 701 r. 26c. both fur cash and account, being a rise of 10c. Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c. Railways left off very firm, with an improvement of from lfr. 250. to 21r. 60c. A duel was fought this morning between M. d'lS and M. V—. I presume they are per sonages of some importance, 111.11C0 the journals hays received peremptory orders not to make the slightest allusion to the rencontre. THE TREATIES OF PEACE. The Moisitsur of this morning publishes the text of the treatise signed at Zurich, the stipulations of which are in conformity with those which hays already been made known to the public. THE PAPAL STATES. Letters received here from Rome confirm the rumour that Cardinal Artonelli will represent the Pope at the Congress. The official journal of Rome of the 24th instant says :—" Certain journals exaggerate the reforms which are to come into operation." The Propaganda has received reports from Cochin- China that persecutions and ill-treatment of the miasionaries have again taken place there. SARDINIA. TURIN, Nov. 28. The Piedmontese Government hu received no communication intimating the opposition of Austria to the Congress on account of the nomination of M. de Buonoompagni to the Regency of Central Italy. The difficulties made by Tuscany to the dele gation of the Regency to M. de Bnonoompagni have not yet been settled. Mona. de Desambrois will leave for Paris in the first days of December. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Noy. 28. Prussian agents hays left for England, in order to inspect those places on the south coast which might be suitable for his Majesty the King to reside at during the winter months, and to make such pre parations am are requisite therefor. Besides the Isle of Wight, Doraetahire is also to be inspected. HOLSTEIN. PRANHPORT-ON-THE•YAINE, Nov. 28. The Danish government has made to the Federal Diet, through the medium of its representative at Frankfort, the following proposal for settling the dillieulties of the Holstein question: A committee, one half of the members of which is to be appointed by the General Council of State of Denmark, and the other half by the Diet of the Duchy of Holstein, is to be assembled at Copenhagen. This committee is to propose the modifications which are to be made in the constitution of Holstein. The proposed modifications are to be submitted to the direct examination of the Diet of Holstein before the Danish government is to decide definitively on the subject of the proposals of the committee. The Diet of Holstein would in that cue have a consultative vote on the project of the proposed reforms of its oonstitation. It is said that Prussia is not quite satisfied with this proposal of Denmark, and claims the full acceptance of all the reclamation, of Holstein, Lida's* that the Dietof Holstein is not to have icon. sultative but a deliberative and definitive vote. As it is likely that the Court of Copenhagen will not agree to this demand of Prussia, it is said that the whole question of the German Duchies will be submitted to the approaching Congress.

ITALY. SARDINIA. (raw/ ova owx TURIN, N0v.23. You already know the objection made by Baron Ramoli to conferring the chief government upon Buonoompagni ; but I have to add that that oppo• situp of his proceeded from no personal objection. Riossoli alleged that true legality enjoined him to re convoke the Assembly, and ask it to declare itself respecting the change that had been effected. Some letters, however, received from him here yesterday, lead us to believe that he will follow the example of Parma, Modena, and the Romagna', which last three are aware of the strong pressure exercised by France on the Piedmontese government, and there fore declare themselves satisfied with the middle way that has been discovered. For the rest, the resistance and objection of Ricuoli and his colleagues occasion no apprehension respecting the intentions of the Tuscans. You have already read the note sent in the name of their Assembly to the Powers of Europe. The determination of forming one kingdom with Piedmont and the other provinces of Central Italy is repeated in that document in the most firm and energetic language, and last Sunday the National Guard of Florence took the opportunity of receiving its colours to swear fealty with great enthuaium to King Victor Emmanuel. This perseverance in the vote of annexation is the sheet-anchor of the Italians. To sot in any other manner would be illusory and fallacious. I mentioned to you the bad humour and remon ' Amore of Prince Latour d'Auvergne as soon as he heard of Buonoompagni's designation. The govern meat here was led therefrom to expect some censure on the part of France ; it endeavoured to forestall it by declaring to the Emperor, that the King Victor Emmanuel could not without loss of honour abandon to disorder the provinces of Central Italy, and that the sending of Buoncompagni was the least his ministers could do, in order to keep that part of the Peninsula in a state of concord and tranquillity. This time the oracle of the Tuileries gave • clearer and more favourable response; and I em informed that the telegram from there was as follows :—" I re cognise that the measure taken has been suggested by the necessity of maintaining order." I am enabled to state to you exactly the reason why the Sardinian government thought it at first an easy and practicable thing to let Prins). Eugene go as regent, and then found itself obliged to change its opinion. The error arose through a despatch from the Prince of Lajatico, the representative of Tuscany at the court of Napoleon 111. Alluding in it to the regency of the Prince of Carignan, he an nounced roundly," that England wished it, and France would tolerate it." It is nevertheless certain that the disapproval of France became more evident, and was more strongly expressed after the receipt at one and the same time of two notes upon the subject in question—one from Rome, the other from Vienna. I have entered somewhat retrospectively into these particulars, in order that you may see that your correspondent was informed about the subject he has been discussing of late. Well, the important fact resulting from all this is that the enemies of Italy have not yet succeeded in throwing her into disorder. There was some alarm felt at Garibaldi's resignation, and great alarm indeed lest some of the volunteers should break out into mutiny, but hitherto nothing has occurred to confirm these apprehensions. There are not a few who think Garibaldi's departure was in consequence of receiv ing a piece of advice tantamount to an order, when it issues from the lips de great protector. Bat I believe I am acquainted with the true facts of the case, and I assure you there was no possibility of retaining the two in command side by side, that is, General Fauti and Garibaldi. The former will have strict discipline, perfect subordination, exact performance of duty. The latter, on the con trary, accustomed to desultory warfare, thinks all that mere military pedantry. 'The King himself in terfered personally, and brought about a more friendly state of things through the supreme and fortunate influence he possesses over the mind of Garibaldi, who at bottom is always generous and has the Italian cause at heart far more than his own personal interests. His proclamation to the Italians is an ebullition of temper that we must overlook in the tried and trusty soldier. Should he ever again appear in battle, he would render his country great services. In the mean time, Fantee efforts will bear golden fruit, and I have no hesitation in predicting that, before many months are over, this most skilful and indefatigable man will form for Central Italy an army of at least fifty thousand and obedient volunteers. The chief hitch will about money. But Piedmont is already on the point of guaranteeing a loan of forty millions of francs, the greater part of which will be employed for the army. AUSTRIA. The Vienna Gazette publishes the following auto graph note by the Emperor of Austria : My dear Cousin Archduke William,—l think fit to express my full ;sedan to all the subjects end inhabitonte of my realm, who from the commencement of the year 1869 to the publication of the present act by the Vienna Gazette have taken pert in any enterprises designed to bring about ce favour the events which have taken place within that space of tieoe in divers Italian countries, end to remit to them all punishment, in so far as their political acts are net crimes oe offences in the ordinary reused the word. You will take care, therefore, that all soldier; and all civil persons submitted to the criminal jurisdiction of the military tribunals, who have rendered themselves culpable, in conaequence of their participation in those political move. manta during the said apace of time, of one of the oda punished by the articles 301, 331, 334, 339, 343, 344, 362, .153, 365, 358, 366, and 367, 631, 665, 666, 669, and MO to 673 of the military penal code, or who have favoured then, shall not be prosecuted on that account, and that those vim may have been condemned already to punishment for one these acts, shall be freed from their punishment without delay, sad that similarly all the Gasses still pending for nob seta shall be immediately stopped. In cases in which person of this kind have been sentenced to punishment, not merely for sots punishable by the articles cited, but at the same time toe ordinary crimes and offstage, the chiet of ose' of my army will have to decide definitively whet shall be the commutations of punishment to apply in these cases in consideration of the present act of grace. Similarly, I leave to the supreme military authorities the decision in owe in which it may be doubtful whether the crimes committed and provided against by the articles 169 to 171, and 183 of the military penal code are purely military, or whether they enter into the category of those to which the present act is applicable. Festicts Joanpa. Vienna, Nov. 23, 1859. This autograph note is followed by another, ad dressed to Count Nadasky, and relating to civilians. It is couched in identical terms, with the exception of the last paragraph, which is not found in it, and the articles cited of the military penal code, which are replaced by the corresponding articles of the ordinary penal code.
