PLAIN people who can patiently witness a dis turbance of the common course of public events pro vided its motives are clear and its objects worthy, are asking, not without some irritation, why that eatoral settlement of the affairs of Northern and :Central Italy, which seemed in a fair way a month ago, is arrested, if not prevented. Is it tree, as Lard MAtuirsnt at's organ has informed the world, that a new Holy .111ianes has been formed, that Russia' and Austria, in facie of the ternble principles pro claimed by Lard PALI/Rano', Lord lout Rue sett, and Mr. °LAWTON!, have sacrificed every feeling of jealousy and every old grudge in order to rialto against us far a struggle in which we may have to fight for existence ? We ask pardon for noticirg this desperate attempt on the credulity of the public, bet the statement has been eeriously made, and was meant to be believed. Not only is this pretended alliance not the impedi ment to the settlement of the affairs of Italy, bat it does not exist. We are able to assure oar readers that the story of a reconciliation between Russia and Austria is a fiction from beginning to end, and that the well-known relations of the two GoverzoneNts, as attested by published document., have undergone no material change, much lees a change of a nature to lead to concerted action in Western Europe. We must look elsewhere, then, for the causes which have clouded the prospects of an early, natural and pscitic settlement of Upper Italy. They are not in the people of Central Italy, bent as mach as ever on sharing the liberty and security which they can hope to enjoy nowhere but under the sceptre of King VirrOß EMMANUEL. The festive reception of the Kim; at Milan amidst en thusiutic demonstrations of popular affection is a scene which the people of Florence or Bologna earnestly desire to renew in their capitals. Neither is it the opposition of the Court of Vienna which binders the annexation. The menace of Austria that if a single Sardinian regiment was sent into Central Italy she would march troops to meet it, belongs to • Fast stage of the controversy, and the latest despatch from Vienna threatens merely a refusal to acknowledge the legality of the annexation. The opposition of Russia, if opposition it can be called, is not dictated by unfriendliness to Sardinia. Russia, a ooeservative power, dislikes to appear to recognise an absolute right in popnistioos to alter territorial limits which have been laid down by the leading states of Europe, and she also regards with dislike the restlessness of France and the esgerness of the French EMPEROR to constitute himself the disposing power of Europe. But there is good reason to be lieve that, without giving unnecessary prominence to disputed principles', Russia would acquiesce under one or another form in arrangements calculated to secure the peace and tranquillity of Italy. The sub. atitution by Russia of propoesle for a conference on Italian attain' for the simple and effective solution recommended by England last month, would . ne t constitute an insurmountable difficulty but for the vacillation which marks the behaviour of Francs hf. Tuouvrtsrt's despatch to the French Ambers sador at Vfenna bears the impress of a wise, elevated, and European policy. NAPOLEON 111. there declares by his minister that his sincere desireis that Italy may no longer be • fi e ld i n which French and Austrian interests struggle. " France," he say', " does not seek to substitute herself far " Austria in Italy; her desire is that Italy herself " should stand between them, exempt from the " altercate action of the two Powers." Utter tiussitely this despatch is nearly • mouth old, and in that interval some very different ideas have been sent forth from the Tuileries. Our correspondent at Paris told us last Saturday that the French EMPEROR bad once more set his face against the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont, and our correspondent at Turin informs us today that new attempts are being made at Foresee to turn the minds of the people towards a Prince of the BoNAPARTE family. We an hardly believe that the 1. - numb EMPIIROR really expects to place his cousin on an Italian throne. The English Government was officially informed on the 17th of August last that " the elastics of a king " does of Etruria ander Prince NAPOLEoN would not " be agreed to by his Majesty the Emperor of the 0 FRINCH, who was determined to give no reason for the shadow of a suspicion as to his designs in " catering into the late war." Takao( this declara tion, together with the notorious unpopularity of the PRINCE in Italy, we must suppose that the pretensions of the latter are put forward at this time rather to divide and discourage the Tuscans, and to weaken their halls, in favour of annexation to Piedmont, than with an P intention of prosecuting them to a more direct reeult.i Another combination for which a French on has Men claimed is the election of a new Grand Dais of Tuscany in the person of the Duke of Gimes, nephew of VICTOR EMMANUEL, a iskild six plan of sp. We are not called to disc say of theta pro jects. It is not for Englishmen to decide whoa is good for Italy. We have never done se, that is to say for these forty years. An attempt was made last night in the Home of Commons to re present the proposals for a settlement of Italy which Lord JOHN Busazu. forwarded to the other four great Powers as recommending a particular political arrangement. But this re presentation disappears when the proposals them selves are examined, for all that the noble FOREIGN SECRBTART recommended was that Eu rope should undertake to let the Italians alone while they settled their own affairs. The Courts of Eu- rope have been authoritatively informed more than once that If the Tuscans retell their fugitive Prince, England has no objection to make. Bat although we are not to impose our preferences on the Toscani, we have a right to demand that their wishes shall be respected; and, from what we know of those wishes, we may safely conclude that no arrange. meat will be satisfactory to them which leaves free 'ltaly divided, and therefore comparatively weak. The Toscana need the aid and protection of Pied mont, and it is better that they should have it as citizens than as dependent allies of that State. NAPOLEON 111. distinctly threatens to withdraw not only his army, but his diplomatic support from Sardinia, in the event of the annexation of Tommy. This resolution casts a serious responsibility on the Governments both of Piedmont and Central Italy; but it hone from which, we believe, they will not shrink. They are united in the beat of causee, and have the public opinion of Europe in their favour. We do not fear for them ; bat can the French EMPEROR afford to throw away for the advantage of Austria the means of winning the gratitude of a nation and the p►estige of the Liberator of Italy, which was purchased with the lives of 60,000 Frenchmen ? We think he cannot ; and that this is one of thaw conjunctures in which, as in others we have witnessed, he will submit to take a lemon from experience. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29, 1860. LATEST INTELLIUUNCE. THE NEW PROPOSAL OF FRANCE FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF ITALY. The Debate of to-day states that prbrate infor mation agrees with the accounts received by the Independence Beige, respecting • proposal by France that Parma and Modena be annexed at ones to Piedmont, and Tuscany be called upon to elect a now sovereign—Francs supporting the claims of the Duke of Genoa, • child, five years old, nephew of the King Victor Emmanuel. The hiclipeadoncs hears that the Romagna, by the French proposition,would be under the nominal suze rainty of the Pope, bat that the effective sovereignty would devolve upon the new Grand Duke of Tus cany. The Debate, however, says that the sovereign named by France for the Romagna is the King of Piedmont. According to both the Paris and the Brussels journals, the despatch of the French cabinet, in which these proposals are made, was to be laid before the King of Piedmont on the 26th. It not accepted, the French troops were immediately to withdraw from Lombardy. The Debate alleges that the contents of the despatch referred to above show that the French government "will formally maintain its well-known intentions as to the annexation of Savoy and Nice; that it will persist, and justly so, in considering it as both a legitimate and necessary compensation for the territorial aggrandisement which Piedmont will obtain, and as an indispensable guarantee for the safety of the French frontier." SPAIN AND MOROCCO. MADRID, Fla. 27. The Spanish squadron has bombarded Larache and Arcilla, causing gnat deetraction in those two places. Some of the Spanish vessels were slightly damaged.

By Article VIII. el the Treaty of Commerce betwrea her Majesty the Queen el the United Kingdom of Great Britain sad Ireland sad his 3iLajeary the Emperor of the French, signed at Parts en the 23rd of January last, her Britannic Majesty undertook to recommend to parliament the admission into the United Kingdom of brandies and spirits imported from France at a duty exactly equal to the excise duty levied upon home-made spirit., with the ad dition of a surtax of 2d. • gallon, which would make the actual duty payable on French brandies end spirits Be. 2d. • gallon. Since ttse ratification of the said treaty the govern ment of her Britannic Majeety bare ascertained that the surtax of 2d. • gallon is not sufficient to countervail the charges with which, in 'consequence of the operation of the laws of custom and excise, home-m ode British spirits have now to °attend; and that a surtax limited to the rate of 3d. a gallon would still leave home-made British spirits sub jest to a differential duty In favour of foreign brandies and spirits. Consequently, the government of her Britannic Majesty having represented these circureatances to the government of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and his Imperial Major*, having consented that the amount of the said surtax shall be increased, the two high contracting partied to the said treaty of commerce do, by the present additional article, agree that the amount of such surtax *hall be 3d. • gallon, and her Britannic Majesty engages to recommend to parliament the admission into the United Kingdom of bnutdies and spirits imported from Frew* at a duty exactly 'equal to this excise duty levied upon home-made spirits, with the addition of a surtax of 61. a Olen. The present additional article shall have the same form and validity as If it had been inserted in the treaty of coin metee of the 23rd of January last. It shall be ratified, and the ratifications thereof shall be exchanged at Paris within are days from the date of ha signature. la tritons whereof the impieties plenipotentiariea hate signed the sew, and have affixed thereto the ask of their UM.

(711011 ova owx ooxamsrommorr.) PARIS, TUZSDAT EVINTNO. The unhesitating assertion of the In(Upendance that the news of the famous treaty between Russia and Austria, given with solemnity and iteration by the Morning Chronicle, is false, meets with universal acceptation in Paris this afternoon. The govern ment journals of this evening contain communicated notes, giving the most categorical denial of the news, which they describe as "altogether a fabrication." The Italian journals are seized to-day, probably is . . . consequence of their comments upon the i ntelligence that the Emperor suddenly refuses to permit the an nexation of Tuscany to Piedmont. At the Bourse the Rents opened with much hesi tation, and wu for some time quoted 10c. or 16c. lower than yesterday ; but a strong upward move ment occurred in the afternoon, when people felt quite certain that the news of the Austro-Rnasian publiihed by the Morning Chronicle, wu false. There was, moreover, an impression, notwith standing the ticklish state of affairs in Italy, that the Emperor will succeed in giving a eoleur de rose tint to his speech on Thursday. The Rents closed very firm at 68fr. 80c. and 68fr. 16c., with a rise of 300. and 36e. Mobilise rose Mr. The Orleans Railway rose 7fr. 60o.; Lyons, 6fr.260.; Southern, Mr.; Western and Eastern, 2fr. 60e. each ; and Northern closed without change.

(reox OVIL OWN COIII2OIPONDENT.) TURIN, FHB. 26. Since my last letter the carnival has noisily ex pired at Turin and is playing off its last pranks at Milan, where the King is being still feted as if he had jest arrived there. You see by this that it was not against monarchy the Italian people rose, but against tyranny and foreign oppression. This was shrewdly remarked by your representative here, Sir J. Hudson, in a most correct despatch of his, wherein he aliuded to the misfortunes of Central Italy. Well, the question of Central Italy has now assumed a new aspect, both internally and externally, and it well deserves your moat diligent attention. As regards the home part of the question, the present condition of the country may be thus stated. Central Italy demands absolutely the annexation, and Piedmont is still determined to support her vote, by force of arms if necessary, is case it should be, as there is no meson to doubt, favourable to the union. Baron liettino Ricasoli for some time refused diplomacy its desire to see the vote repeated, because the request appeared to him to imply a suspicion injurious to the preceding vote. He has now not only yielded, however, but has re cently communicated to our government the exact mode in which he has decided that the new vote is to be given. He does not intend it to take place ac cording to the Piedmon tette electoral system, because then the relative number of voters would be too small, and the adversaries of the people might be in consequence furnished with a plausible pretext for saying that the opinion of the majority had not been expressed. The vote is to be given by "Yee" or " No," which will be written in a public book in each commune under the eyes of everyone, so that there can be no doubt respecting its fairness. In this way Ricasoli believes he shall best meet the objections made by France and England. Alter the vote has been given the elections will be made ac cording to the Piedmontess electoral law. F.srini will adopt the same plan in the /Emilia. At this point the new complication as regards the foreign relations of the country begins. Although all that France desires may have been done, and although her government may say she is satisfied, nevertheless, within the last fortnight, if I am rightly informed, the French government has become cooler and has raised unexpected ob jections. What can possibly be the reason of this singular change? Certain confidential communisa tions made to me, and some letters—incautiously written, it must be confessed, by certain friends of Prince Napoleon from Pans—lead us to suspect the motive to be as follows : This cousin of the Em peror's, who has hitherto been of no manner of use to the empire —who, on the contrary, during the Crimean and the Italian wars, has been rather inju rious than otherwise to the fame of the Napoleonic dynasty—is highly ambitions of wearing a crown, notwithstanding his affectation of democratic princi ples. It appears, then, that he has been again beg ging his imperial cousin to let him try the experi ment in Tascany. Accordingly, instructions have been sent off from the Prince's palace to the friends of his highness to hold forth against the annexation and, what is of far more disastrous a nature, foreign diplomatists have been studiously prompted to resist and oppose the formation of a new Italian kingdom containing eleven or twelve millions of inhabitants. Austria, naturally enough, pretends that she is not disinclined to accept a Bonaparte in Central Italy, for she hopes the pre sence there of such a sovereign may rouse the jealousies of the other powers, and be the means of securing Venetia to herself. It is grievous that Napoleon should suffer himself to ba led in this way by a cousin, always more injurious than serviceable to his cause, and that he should lose this opportunity of showing himself a politician of enlarged views. But however grievous the case may be, it is only too true, and our government, I have been assured, has already been, so to say, officially informed that, should the annexation be effected without taking previous counsel of diplomacy, not withstanding a new vote, the French government might possibly abandon Piedmont, by withdrawing its troops and leaving entire freedom of action to Austria. I believe oar government has replied with much dignity to this communication, that it would pain it much to see itself abandoned, through no fault of its own, by an ally, to whom it has on every occasion shown the moat respectful deference, bet that its condition is such that it is prevented by a sense of de corum and self-respect from taking a retrograde course, that it would bear with all the patience it could this unexpected abandonment, and would reso lutely incur alone the hazard of a fresh war. Of coarse you have received from various sources the confirmation of what I wrote to you concerning a letter Isom the Pope to our King, and his Majesty's reply. That letter was previous to the date fixed for the anticipated assembling of a congress. His Holiness invited the King " to defend at the congress the rights of the Church, and not permit the seam less vesture of Christ to be divided among thieves." The King pondered for a long time whether he should send an answer or not, and in the mean time political events succeeded one another, and a change of ministers ensued. Having taken counsel with Count Cavour, be wrote an answer, and sent it to the Pope through the medium of his court chaplain, Stellardi, an astute member of the priesthood, who can be band when it is expedient, for he hopes to become a bishop, and ;,fill one of the r nineteen vacant episcopal sees of Piedmont. The King's letter—respectful, of course, to the spiritual head of the church—was frank to the temporal prince, and represented to him that the Routines were u good as lost ; that the Marches could not be saved if the Roman government did not imbibe the spirit of the times, and if his Holiness did not rule those peoples as an enlightened Italian prince ought to do. This letter was ill received by the Pope, who has no objection to preach to others, bat does not like to be preached to in return. His Holiness made a harsh rejoinder, and there the matter dropped. TUSCANY. A decree was published at Florence, on the 20th inst., instituting a commission for presenting to the government a scheme of division among the secular catholic clergy of all the ecclesiastical revenues. Next August the commission is to transmit to the government a list of the clergy whose livings do not amount to 800 lire per annum. The government will then provide them with the complement of that sum until a definitive division of the revenues has been made. THE PAPAL STATES. A letter from Ancona, in the Opinione of the 25th Inst., confirms preceding accounts of Austrian inter vention in the Papal States. The letter says : Eighty Austrians arrived here yesterday by the Austrian Lloyd's steamer Moraine. Those men, like those who imme - diately preeeded them, are very discontented. They compl a i n that the Pontead government has violated its enaagemests with than. Many of them have already deserted, and some have been Imprieoned se felons. The Archduke Maximilian has given I,oto °votes and 1,000 Tyrolese rides for these troops. The commander of the battalion refused to receive the ceders of the Oteeral of the Papal States, saying that he was en Austrian .abject. The Union* Liberale says : We are assured that there exists a secret treaty among Austria, the Papal States, and Naples, by which they are bound net to 'gets to any arrangemeat favolvtag a limitation of the territory of the Papal States or as oggrandiscaent of Sardinia. THE CARNIVAL AND THE CARNIFEX. A correspondent of the Nord mentions a curious addition to the procession on one of the days of the Carnival at Borne—viz., the public executioner. "He received orders at four o'clock to get into a carriage and proceed to the Porta Pia. I here transcribe an official document, which will not be disputed : " ' Declaration of Giovanni Batista Sonata, executioner at Rome, residing in the Borgo St. Angelo, No. 120 :—On Saturday last, Feb. 18, at four p.m., two officers of the Pontifical police, one of whom is personally known to me, and named Andreard, called on me in a carriage and com pelled me to get into it, declaring that they were acting in the name of the Pope end the superintendent of police. I was taken by them to the Porta Pia. Oa my arrive! there I was ordered by them to get down and walk about with the rest. I obeyed.—Rome, Feb. 21, 1880: " Nations of the Latin'race have In gtmeral a profound aversion for functionaries of this sort. At Rome the horror Inspired by tie executioner passes all description. The pope teflon was ins state of extreme indignation. I will add a specimen of the insults and provocations which we are com pelled to endure. While the executioner was walking about one of ray Mende who could not make out who he was, heart' himself addressed rudely by one of the police officers who was escorting the executioner, '.A said he, 'he is the executioner; we hays brought him that you may make his acquaintance.' " LIFEBOAT SBA T.CIS. YARMOUTH, TUESDAY NIGHT.—This day we have experienced in this neighbourhood a moat awful stale, cawing many serious chipping disaatars. The large lifeboat at this place, belonging to toe Royal National Lifeboat Inatiodoo, was Manche% and proceeded to the assistance of a reseed called the Zephyr, which was observed to have stunk on the Scruby Sands. She was found to be lying In • heavy sea. After much difficulty, the lifeboat succeeded in rescuing and landing the crew. One pour boy, however. died of fatigue and exhaustion soon after he was brought on shore. BLAVNIARItI, TVESDA Y.—Yesterday afternoon • flat, with signal. of distrees tlymp, was observed on the edge of the mode opposite NUILUD, Anglesey. It was blowing a gale of wind from the north west. The lifeboat of she National Lifeboat Institution was in stantly despatched to her assistance. The flat's crew wished either to be brought on shore In the lifeboat, or that she would remain by them. Accordingly the lifeboat stopped by them. When the gale moderated, she flat was got underway, and brought to a place of safety. Aye, Mort. , IJAT NIGHT.—A telegram has just reached this place from Irvine (twelve miles distant), saying that a French vessel bad got ashore, and that the hands bad been wit irturiately lost. Another ship was in the bay, with her masts cut away, and in great danger. The old lifeboat of the Irvine Harbour Commissioners sad bees found totally inefficient for the occasion. An urgent request had, therefor*, been made to send the new lifeboat of the Royal Nati( nel Lifeboat Institution, renew ly stationed at Ayr. The reloset was instaatly oomplied with, and the lifeboat. mounted on her new tramportlag carriage, drawn by a powerful team of horse was, with her gsll.nt mew, gent cif with all despatch. It is now nearly 9 o'clock at night, and blowing • perfect hurricane as It has been doing all day long, God grant that the services of the new lifeboat may be as success ful during this truly awful night as they were last week, I when she nobly rescued 15 titer fellows from the beeline I Niagara, of Shield.. If willing hearts and stout arms can suacessfuliy combat with the fearful and wild elements now raging, I venture to say that our lifeboat's crew will not be Lund wanting, es they have unbounded confidence in the now boat.
