Tne cause el nommasully, as the guardian of ordered freedom, of international right and jus tice, is on its trial before the living conscience of civilised Europe. I. the Court of last resort, called History, the judgment osnisot be doubtful. Whether that cause is beet mewed by those crowned conspirators who meet in the capital of dismembered and despoiled Poland to vindicate the test of treaties and to assert the sacredness of public law, or by the Sovereign who pledges his crown and his kingdom for the deliverance of a nation, it will not be left to the next century to declare. The times are ripe for a decision upon which the destinies of an age of fruitful industry, expending commerce, and peaceful social re generation depend. Shall the welfare, the prole perity, the beneficent enterprise of this Europe of ours be sacrificed to the tender mercies of three or four men who meet at the grave of • murdered nation to consecrate anew the sovereignty of force ? Is this nineteenth century to be plunged into darkness because " the Powers" of evil cannot bear the light' Those are questions to which it were impiety to permit the answer of despair. Let us turn from Warsaw to Ancona, and listen to the voice of • King, who at all events under stands his epoch. If monarchy can be saved from self-destruction, it will be by the honest and nnkingly devotion of a monarch compared with whom ancestral titles ALL%ANI.FR of Russia is an upstart, and the Sovereign of PRIASIA the growth of a night. " Gentlemen," said the Emperor Ntenomis to his aides-de-camp at the news of the Revolution of '4B, "be ready to mount" It warn air years afterwards that the Emperor NienoLas vaulted into the saddle and—fell on the other side. King VICTOR FAILYANCEL neier talks of "mounting," in the Warsaw sense, but when a people in anguish calla him to the rescue he is neither deaf, nor distant, nor halting between interest and duty. He throws a kingdom down as a gauntlet for the ehaniMons of oppression to take up. The procla mation to the people of Southern Italy may well make the cruel cowards that disgrace thrones and the slavish hypocrites that infest courts tremble with rage and fear ; for it is the voice of • man who loves his country better than his crown, who acknowledges no right superior to justice, and who is utither afraid nor ashamed to stake his crown upon the redemption of a people. Put this mani festo from Ancona, and the protocols, the notes, the secret articles from Warsaw into the balance, and which shall kick the beam ! A very few mouths will decide whether this earth still moves. Diplomacy must be even more than usually diffi cult to please if it deny to VriTn• EMMANUEL'S latest words the merit of plain speaking ; we way even claim for them the praise due to manly firm nese and self-radraint, to elevation of feeling, and to common sense—rhetorical virtues rare enough on the lips or pens of Kings. The passage of the frontier of the Neapolitan States cannot but have been a critical and a solemn eminent for one who is after all a member still of the family of mon archs--nay, the chief of the most ancient of So vereign Houses, H A Merin, ROM ANUVV, and HoHar- Zou.c•.r notwithstanding. How to justify it in the eyes of all the purblind brothers and cousins, and their diplomatic penmen, whose office it is to darken knowledge ! The King of ITALY elect aeeuns to have Math: up his wind that the duly way of justifying an act so entirely irregular and de limit of all the laws of the royal mad was to speak the truth. Anil this amazing royal feat Vieroit Eve vxi EL has actually perforined, in the Meth of Rowe, Vienna, and tit. Petersburg. By • stroke of natural pathos, with a simplicity which should go straight to the heart of Italy, the Krim identifies the teuiliug fate of his father with the fortunes of the Italian country, and claims an intimate and personal ColalatlUSl...ll tllToll4lthis father'■ death in •vile w the common fate o.f thousands of Italian patriots who have grow before. Ile asserts the inevitable and indispensable concord of • patriot King and a suffering people, • concord slocb gives strength to a throne ; and • strength not built up by secret agencies, but by the influence of a free public opinion. It was the sincere practice of free insti tutions even in days inauspicious to freedom, that had rallied • nation to his standards. Italy had won her way from the battlefield in the Crimea to th e congress of Paris, and from the Congress of Paris to "a righteous war" ens but a step. The Emperor of the Fitrnen had recognised the justice of the cause, and all Italy had responded to his appeal, and given the Kix., a right to speak and tight in her name. Policy had arrested the ear of liberation, but cold,' not arrest the onward march of an uprisen natiou. Had the Kiser been S 2 sAlf oe,loig ai u Ile minds supposed, he might have rested content with the conquest of the Jl•ombard but he was incapable of deem*. the Mies ho had undertaken. Alma he . the King of the Two Simile, Ire advisers Port:, and the Dr can of Central Italy, danger of resisting the national will, he had tu, in them and their Austrian counsellors " hearts " closed against all Italian feelings, winds " darkened by peon and obstinacy." The war of liberation was by necessity • summons to all the oppressed ; and when Sicily rose, and all the chivalry of Italy rushed with GARIBALDI to the rescue, it was not for the KING who had fought for Italy at Palestro to hold Italians beck. Southern and Central Italy had alike invoked his mime ; w v the KINU of their choice to reject their caws, and to repudiate his own responsibi lities? Before Europe he stood, as a KING and as an Italian, charged with the fate of Italy ; was he, as an Italian and as a King, to be tales to his crown and to his country, and to abandon the national movement to anarchy, or to Austria 1 On these questions King Vicroa EMMANUEL appeals to the judgment of Europe. Italy has replied to them beforehand. The Sovereigns who meet in Conference will be Kendall/led at • King whose declared policy is to " reconcile the progress of the people with the " stability of monarchim." An Emperor who mines a province, and prepares to blow an op pressed population into the air, is the true repre sentative man of monarchy at Warsaw. HER MAJESTY'S HOMEWARD JOURNEY.

THE REBELS AT SIiANGHAE. Advice' received this morning in anticipation of the overland mail bring letters and journals from Hong Kong, August 26, and Shanghae, August 18. The London and China Telegraph publishes the following letter : OFF THE PEMO, Avuon 12. My last was dated from Tah-lien•Whan, and we were then in expectation. Our hopes had indeed been cheered by the advent of Lord Elgin, and we looked forward to souse defi nite movement, which has at last been taken. It is now too late to speak about the time wasted daring this summer season, as we have at last a chance given as, and • like honest hancho PAULI, we must not look too dimly at our gift bores. If neglect has been the prelude, energy must now willpowert, for it, unless all concerned with the direction of this undertaking are willing to accept the odium which must attach to those who bee great opportunities and trifle with their nation's interests. They seem sow willing enough to work, and therefore let us give some little commendation when it is deserved. On the '26th of last month, we started from Tab - lien-When, the day when the steam fleet moved to Odin Bey to be ready to reader assistance to the numerous sailing vessels which Were employed by the Government. We left en WWII for the Nib° ; and if the Chinese were on the watch, it was a sight sufficient to awaken their gravest apprehensions. Not less than zu sail of English vessels left, in such admirable order that nothing was to be desired. The coniniand of the military is in Sir Hope Grant's hands, and if report speaks truly, we need no better soldier. The landing of the troops necessarily occupied some time ; this has been effected most satisfactorily. I should here mention that the main body of the fleet is at anchor about five miles from the shore. The land is so low that it is hardly perceptible, and, although every top was filled with men and officers, it was two days before any reliable informs. tion could be obtained. The following, however, may he quoted as authentic. On reaching the shore to the north of the Padang forts, a large body of Tartar cavalry was discovered, which had been despatched from an entrenched camp some few mike inland. It was at first thought that they would render , the undertaking one of some difficulty ; but upon firing some three or four rounds of shell and shot, they veil , ' quietly rude back again, leaving the coast undefended. The Preach, whose force ou this occasion was larger than the English, rapidly effected their purpose, and the English were not long in following their example ; wine slight skir• mailing took place with a portion of the enemy, in ,which we had some 14 wounded ; these all amongst the military, one Captain Greathead being, I regret, seriously ea. Oa UN neat day, or the one following, they proceeded to advance against the forts, the gunboats, front their light draught of water, being able to go up the shallow river which forms the false mouth of the l'eiho here. These forts were, to all appeanume, well supplied with guns, and • considerable resistance was expected. You may jade, then, et the surpris e s d the fumes to find them utterly undefended. The proceeded to occupy then ~,pmt midso eautioliefTthinkiigit — ritly, from the known character of the Chinese that some beep was laid, and it was fortunate that it was w,for before eatering,the first fort, the man who was reconnoitring found the bridge across the dry ditch which surrounds it trembling with his weight, and, upon a careful examination being made, it was shown to he so constructed with levers, kc., as to form a large hammer, which, on the rush of any body of men, would have exploded some detonating powder in commuid• cation with a large quantity of gunpowder, effectually de stroying fort and all within it. Of the guns found some were ouly wooden dummies. but a large supply of Chinese rockets was there, and the soldiers amused themselves by expending these harmlessly in the air. 7 tWith the esceitin of the occupation of three such forts, we L;v . ihitlTerto dune nothing but make preparations fur the march inland, and the first attack of real consequence will be begun to•morrow. The first will, I am informed, be a feint ou the part of the military, and an attack upon the eutrencliud ramp I spoke of before; if this draws off their attention from the forte the gunboats will begin a bombardment, and from their number and the weight of the guns they carry, will, I fancy, rather astonish John Chinaman. An easy victory is not expected, for it seems pretty well known that many of the engineers are Rillaitaa and nut Chinese The safe landing of the troops, their occupation of the Pehtang forts, and a skirmish with Rome Tartar cavalry, the sum total of the news. Speculation is rife as to the probable issue of the uext steps, as upon the rapidity with which the Taku forte are overcome depends virtually the length of the campeign. If we occupy them after an at tack lasting but a day or two, we may hope to date from Peking this year; if siege operations of any magnitude are 'lamasery, we shall have to wait another moo& Nearly every one is heartily sick of the inactive life they hare been leading since the commencement of the expedition. An advance took place ou tiue 12th August, when the Tartar camp was attacked and broken up. Our troops then proceeded on through some villages to the Takn forts, which were well defended. The assault was expected to come off on the 15th. We are happy to add that the troops were quite healthy and in high spirits when the news left. From tihanTgliae the intelligence is of a disastrous nature. Owing to the proceedings of the rebels trade was quite stopped. During the sight of the 13th August the rebels bad managed to post up proclamations iu the foreign settlement. This fact caused great excitement and alarm. The foreign reoddeuts had previously formed themselves into a volunteer corps. " It is but justice to the rebels to state," says the Chilies Mail, " that hitherto they have shown every inclination to be on friendly terms with foreigners ; and when the latter paid visite to them at &Wain they were treated with every courtesy, and the re bels expressed themselves anxious to eneourrge trade. This was no mere profession, as foreigners had gone on several occasions inland no purchase silk, when the rebels might have prevented it. Although it was not strange for the rebels to threaten to attack the native city of Shanglme (which is protected by foreign troupe), people were not prepared to believe they would actually attempt it. However, on the evening of the day the wail steamer loft (18th) they tried to wry their threat into execution. They first I attacked the south gate, but were repulsed by ar tillery, and they afterwards tried it from another point, where they were also repulsed by-the French. The suburbs were then set fire to, to drive the rebels out, we believe, as it wns first supposed they were harbouring thine. It is difficult to say whether the rebels could have committed greater devastation had they taken the place, and it is also difficult to say how far Mere. Bruce and Boer bunion are to blame for placing foreign troops to protect the native city, and thereby bring us into collision with the rebels." " The rains have ceased during thellast fort night throughout the whole of the north- visit pro vinces, and the approaching harvest is again in jeopardy. The present price of grain, more especially wheat, continues high. The resto ration of territory recently made by the British government to the Nizam of Hydera bad, has been attended with beneficial results. From Oude we learn that jewels to a large amount, the property of the rebel Queen's mother, have been seized and appropriated by the British govern ment. Several of the witnesses who gave evidence iu the recent libel case at Lucknow have been in dicted for perjury, by order of the presiding judge at the trial." Income tax commissioners have been appointed in Madras. The bill for levying a license duty on arts, trades, and profession. has been read a second time in an amended form. It is now made supple mentary to ibis income tax. All professions, and cultivators who sell their own produce, are exempt. The rates are from Re. 3to 1 a year. The tax on tobacco dealets,ranging from 2 to 100 rupees a year, is vigorously opposed by Mr. Sconc e , th e memb e r for Bengal, and Sir Barnes Peacock. The bill will be modified in committee. The indigo report has been given in and will be immediately published. It is not signed by the planters' representative. It is believed to be hostile to the present system of indigo cultivation. The police commission have finished their la bours. They have recommended a system of police under each local government, like that recently introduced into Madras. At, A bill had been introduced intolthe Legislative Council to provide for the supply of coolies to the French colonies, in terms of the convention between France and England. The famous crystal throne of Delhi has been sent to England by the ship Saladin for presenta tion to her Majesty. Data of Rl* Dorttuatlon. Clazees. Malnns.

NAPLES. The " Latest News" of the Patriot is as follows " Despatches from Naples state that the Dicta toes government is exclusively occupied with Pleasures in relation to the plebiscite of October 21. A large majority iu favour of annexation is ex pected iu the towns and central places, but it is feared that the inhabitants of the rural districts will not take the trouble to go to the pull, and it has eousoquontly been determined that official agents shell collect their voted at their houses. It is known that iu many provinces great etlorts will be made to parelyse the plebiscite, and it has there fore been decided to send troops to assure the free dom of the vote. "Fur some days past there ham been a smart cannonade at Carnt, but without any result. It is thought that operatious will not bu seriously re sumed on the Volturno until after the vote of the 21st. The King continues to make great defensive preparations at Gaeta, and there is great activity in thu port. The Piedinoutese squadron, com manded by Admiral Perfume, has not yet appeared at Gaeta, on account, as it is believed, of a counter order from Turin, sent as soon as it was known that the blockade was not recognised by the powers."

Another ministerial crisis forms almost the sum of political events contained in the summaries of the Melbourne journals. The remote cause of the crisis is the general disagreement between the two Houses of Legislature respecting the princi ples which ought to govern the adjustment of the land question. At the time the mail left, the late Nicholson ministry were at work again, and a re-construction of that cabinet was to be sought. Business in both hou..ws had been at • standstill The delay in completing the purchase of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway had caused a con siderable amount of ill-feeling.

Glory to the children of Molise ; they fought and con quered at hernia. Shame to the populations who fly at the approach of the spoiler and abandon everything. When they return to their houses, may their wives spit in their faces and shrink from all contact with such cowards. IWians! When you fight you are conquerors, and when it is known that you are resolved to fight the foreign powers which devour yon under one pretext or another will nut wait fur your onslaught. To arms ! Virile men of the peninsula, to arms ! You have four months before you fur warlike exernece.

A mutiny of Swim troops broke out . at Samarang. Nine mutineers were killed and 35 were sentenced to be hung. A similar rising intended by the Swiss troops throughout Java has been discovered. One of our local literati (says a Melbourne paper) has bad the courage and the ability to produce a five-act comedy. We refer to Mr. R. If. Korea, and h 6 "Spec is China." The represeatatioo cannot be dignifies , by calling it a succeed, but it would be unjust to call it a failure, Another piece, a one-act tragedy. entitled "The Death of Marlowe," by the same author, had been produced previ ously, sod met with considerable favour. A dreadful accident occurred last week 011 the Lake of Garda. The boiler of a gunboat, which has been riming regularly, with permission of the government. from Salo to Limone no the opposite shore, exploded, and precipitated 80 persons into the lake.

THE NEW ZEALAND WAIL—The excitement throughout the Australian colonies with regard to the pro gress of hostilities iu New Zealand has not in the slightest degree slated. And, much as we regret the painful neces sity for doing so, wu must acknowledge that the latest advices indicate that the colonists of Taranaki have by uo means reached:the most serious stage of the war in which they am so prominently engaged. Notwithstanthue that strong hopes are entertained that the reinforcements from this colony, and those from Tasmania, New South Wales, and South Australia, will eruble the represeuustive of her Majesty to assert her authority and inflict decisive chastise- I meet on the insurgent natives, the latter do not appear to lie iutimWsted by the recent arrival at the seat of war of a numerous force, under Major General Pratt. In fact, they have become emboldened, and, in the words of a corres pondent aritieg from Taranaki on the Bth inst., the "war is now apparently on a new basis. The enemy have hitherto respected farm property awl cattle of the settler,. They have now commenced destroying everything they am, and drive oil all the tattle and shop."—Melbearac Herald, August 28. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT IN AUSTRALIA. One of the meet noticeable events of the past month 6 the great nrogrese whirls has been made in the volunteer move tuent. The New Zeeland war appears to have bred both old and young with a military ardour which speaks highly fur the loyalty of the colonists, end will la of greet service In an emergency. We stated in our last that in conse quence of the =settled state of Europe, awl the disturbances in New Zealand, which had neces sitated the withdrawal of all the troops from this colony, the government proposed to Mama; the =tuber of volunteer., end they have in effect received the peraiimion of the legidatuie to increase the number, if necessary, to 10,000. In pursosues od title the volunteer recruitiog sergeants have recently been busy in holding meetings for enrolments thnsugh the various districts, tool their efforts have been attended with great success. A number of pecan. have joised, and from the pro- Maguey the volunteers have hitherto attained in their drill and the use of arms, the force will, lefore long, vie with similar forces in any dependency of UM =Wale mom Sinai the departure of the troops for New Zesland, the right of a red coat is of unusual ter cerreoce. Out treasury, public °Moos, and vim-royalty itself, are now guarded by volunteers, thoroughly evincing the spirit of Ins ilty which Ferrules the force of this oniony. It is also a pleasing feature of the volun teer 1110Velikoalt, that. in the journals of the day repeated offers ire made by volunteers to proceed to New Zeeland, stud assist iu quelling the very unfortunate disturleinee which hus taken place there ; and should such a necessity erisse, co believe it would be possible to raise as goal a volunteer tern for that aerviee as *amid be desired ; and thus the necessity it bringing troops from dis tant quartera would be avoided. However, so far as the prutxtiou of this colony is concerned, we doubt not that in tie event of an invasiou the Victonau Volunteers will price as efficient in a. live eel t ice as they have hitherto jam ed themselves in their drill and Lams= dety.—Melbuurite Herald, Aug. 25. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom oI owi oonzarostizar.) PARIS, MONDAY EVININk. The Patric says in its latest news : Several journals publish incorrect reports from China and Cochin China. The best understanding prevails betwe,u the French and English commanders in China, and opera. tions began on July 26. As to Cucbin China, it is true that the Annamite army, commanded by a relation of the Emperor, attacked our establishment at Wpm, but our troops, notwithstanding the number of the enemy, mai n . mined their positions, and, as soon u General Montauban bas terminated his operations on the Peiho, he will send troops to Cochin China to resume offensive operations with energy. The departure, on leave of absence, of the Pope's nuncio, announced in the Moniker, is thought to be only a prelude to the rupture of diplomatic relations ; and the opinion that the Pope will leave Rome is stronger than ever. The Bourse has been without any marked feature. The Rente, which was weak throughout the day, closed at 68fr. 9k., being Saturday's price for account, and a fall of sc. for each. Mobilier rche 3fr. 75e. There was very little change in the quo. tations of railway shares. The Emperor and the court will very soon go to Compiegne for the hunting eemen. The imperial equipages are already being sent by the Northern Railway. The Opinion Notionale announces as an event of very great importance the resignation en mode o f the Council,General of Algiers. It appears that at the opening of the , session the new president, M. de Veld:, who is also the First President of the Cobrt of Appeal, made a speech in which he expressed a wish that the Arab taxes should be collected on the same system as the French laud tax. General de Martimprey, who commands the army of Algeria, considered this suggestion as an encroachment upon the military administration, and he thereupon wrote a letter to the president, the terms of which have not yet transpired, but which led to the resignation above mentioned. M. du Pr 4 de St. Maur, the President of the Council-General of Oran, has made a speech en tirely of the same tendency as that of M. de Vault, so that the dissension between the civil and military authorities of the colony seems to be serious. A duel was fought yesterday at Nugent-sur• Marne between two well-known members of the Paris press, M. Charles Mouselet and M. Theodore Barribre. It terminated happily, K Monnelet having receival but a slight scratch with the point of a sword and K Barribre coining off scot free. UNITED STATES AND CANADA. SOUTH AMPTON, TVDDAT.
