Fe owe, Russia, Austria, and Prussia having favoured the world with their opinion on the doings of Vicroa Exmariett and the Italians, it is now the turn•of the British Government to speak. Prussia mildly objects, Russia scolds, Austria threatens, while France ostentatiously proclaims that she cannot approve of the revolutionary pro ceedings in the Neapolitan and Roman States, and recalls her Ambassador from Turin. The Emperor of the FRMYCH, as the Conatilutionnel has in formed us, has a very tender conscience when the public law of Europe is concerned. "As a " Sovereign recognised by all Europe it is not per " mated him to sanction the violations of inter " national rights." So that between the halting timidity of the PRINCI Rsomv, the conscientious scruples of Locis.Naroidon, the indignation of the Cray, and the rancour of FRANCIS Josern, the Italians and their Kix° are made to feel that they are under the ban of European law. It is in these circumstances that tho British Government performs an act, for which it claims no higher merit than justice, in making known not only to the Sardinian Government but to the world its opinion on transactions which absolutist and revo lutionary Courts have combined to condemn. The language of Lord JOHN Reams. in the despatch we print to-day is clear and decisive. Disdaining pedantry, he seizes the central ques tion at issue, and taking his stand on the prin ciples of common sense and common justice, de livers a judgment which will be no sooner read than it will be ratified by the entire nation. " The large questions which appear to Her Ma " rare% Government to be at issue," writes Lord JOHN Rtressu., "are these:—Were the people of " Italy justified in asking the assistance of the " King of SARDINIA to relieve them from Govern " manta with which they were discontented t and " was the King of SARDINIA justified in furnishing " the assistance of his arms to the people of the " Roman and Neapolitan Slates ?" This, it will be at once apparent, is • larger question than a Foreign Minister of Great Britain has hitherto been called to decide in connexion with recent Italian affairs. In truth, a more important issue in public law can hardly be conceived. And lit us see how it is to be decided. Some say, on the principles of monarchical legi timacy; others, by the wisdom and authority of a European Congress ; others, again, by the assertion of an arbitrary popular sovereignty. Her MAJ Ewes Government passes these methods silently by to follow its own line. It takes note that the people of the Roman and Neapolitan States have alleged the gravest reasons for their con duct in joining to subvert the governments of the Puri and the King of the Two Sienna. They have declared that the governments of these rulers failed to fulfil or even to recognise and pursue the true ends of government : that they have provided so ill for the administration of justice, the protection of personal liberty, and the general welfare of their people, that their overthrow was a necessary preliminary to all improvement in the condition of the nation. The Italians have further affirmed their conviction that the only man ner in which they could secure independence of foreign control is by forming one strong government for the whole of Italy ; while the struggle of Gemmel* Akita? in 1848, and the sympathy which the premed King of SiiseiNia has shown for the Italian cause, have naturally led to the association of the name of Vicroa Exxxxesi with the single authority under which the Italians aspire to live. These are the reasons which the people of Italy give for their conduct. Her 11.c/cirri's Goveriunent dose not treat them as superfluous ; as we have said, it takes note of them, and places them on record. lint neither, on the other hand, does it arrogate to itself the right to decide on their validity. On the contrary, it takes occasion from their recital to proclaim anew the cardinal doctrine of British policy in reference to Italy, and reassert the right of the Italians to manage their own affairs. " Looking at the question in this view," writes Lord Joins Rcastu , " Her MaJnerr's Go " vernment stud admit that the Italians " themselves are the best judges of their " own interests." Then, passing to the second part of the question, whether the King of Sas- DLNI A had a right to assist the people of the Roman and Neapolitan States, the FOREDO( SECRETARY shows that the meet eminent expositor of the law of nations has laid down that when a people for good reasons take up arms against an oppressor it is but an act of iodic** and generosity to assist brave men in the defence of their liberties. The justification of Vicroa Enna:tun, then, must depend on the sufficiency of the reasons which Lanced the people of the Roman and Neapolitan States to rise against their Governments, and in this respect, as in the former, the principle that the people are the best judges of their own affairs is reasserted. The language of Lord Jons Rrs- NELL is firm and clear. He says : " Her Maurer " Government do not feel justified in declaring that " the people of Southern Italy had not good reasons " for throwing off their allegiance to their former " Governments; her MAJRSYY s Gorernmegf cannot " th afore ',law the Kin ! , of SAsuista. for amid " oil thou." These words will ring throughout the world. They are which neithea foMenta and tbs., declare the conservative nation in We do not dwell on complete refutation of _ pre tence, only to be found in Popish bulls, episcopal pastorals, sad despatches from Gaeta, that the people of Southern Italy were attachod to the Pors and the King of Names. It was easy enough to demolish that plea, by pointing to the fall of the Throne of Fr:calms IL before the small and ill-provided beads of Gear- Lim, and the utter inability of the Pore to find lay Italians to fight for him, while his subjects rose whist him wherever the pressure of foreign force was withdrawn. The truly valuable part of this dispatch is that which separates her MAJZSTY'S Government ao broadly from those Courts of Eu rope which have testified their dissatisfaction with the triumphs of justice in Italy, because they were won by the action of the people calling to their aid a pubiio-spirited and national KING. Lord JOHN Rusom, whether designedly, or =consciously from pure force of conviction, doubles the justification of the King of am- DINIA, as he had before doubled the vindication of the Italian people, in writing, towards the condo- Ilion of his despatch, " Her MAJIB7OI Govern " went can see no sufficient ground for the MVO. " censure with which Austria, France, Prussia, " and Russia have visited the acts of the King at " SARDINIA ;" and he generously adds, "Her " Main-tea Government will turn their eyes "rather to the gratifying prospect of a people " building up the edifice of their liberties and " consolidating the work of their independence " amid the sympathies and good wishes of " Europe." These are noble words, worthy alike of a high. minded, free-spirited people, and of a statesman whose foreign administration has often taught diplomacy the wisdom of simplicity, the dignity of justice, and the irresistible might of truth. frDe Court.

A fraud of an alarming character has recently come to light, which ought (nye the Times) to put com mercial basses on their guard •piaet making advances wpm Was of lading except to parties with whom they are well sepaiatcd.

Having obtained these bills ' of lading, the pretended shippers drew upon a highly re. 'portable firm in LOOl.lOll with whom they bad had previous &shop, and by attaching the bills of lading they were marbled to negotiate these draughta, and thus obtain the money for them. A■ a matter of coarse, the cargo re presented by the fictitious bills of lading was insured keel, and but for the fact of the captain having repented the oompact he bad made the loss would probably have fallen 011 oar underwriter.. The captain, however, appears to have taken fright, for he person] his voyage to this country, and has divulged the circumstances under which the bills of lading were signed. PORBION-07/202, Ger. 27. 5174—11 appears that the late proceedings of the King of Sardinia have been strongly disapproved of by several of the principal courts of Europe. The Emperor et the French, on hearing of the invasion of the Papal States by the army of Gene ral Cialdini, withdrew his Minister from Turin, expressing at the same time the opinion of the Im perial Government in condemnation of the invasion of the Roman territory. The Emperor of Russia has, we are told, declared in strong terms his in dignation at the entrance of the army of the King of Sardinia into the Neapolitan territory, and has withdrawn his entire mission from Turin. The Prince Regent of Prussia has also thought it necessary to convey to Sardinia a sense of his displeasure, but he has not thought it neces sary to remove the Prussian minister from Turin. After these diplomatic acts it would scarcely be jet to Italy, or respectful to the other Great Powers of Europe, were the government of her Majesty any longer to withhold the expression of their opinion. In so doing, however, her Migjesty's government have no intention to raise a dispute upon the rea sons which have been given in the name of the King of Sardinia for the invasion of the Roman and Neapolitan States. Whether or no the Pope was justified in defending his authority by means of foreign levies ; whether the King of the Two Sicilia', while still maintaining his flag at Capua and Gaeta, can be said to have abdicated, ars not the arguments upon which her Majesty's government propose to dilate. The large questions which appear to them to be at issue are these :—Were the people of Italy jus- tified in asking the assistance of the King of Sar dinia to relieve them from governments with which they were discontented I—and was the King of Sardinia justified in furnishing the assistance of his arms to the people of the Roman and Neapolitan States l There appear to have been two motives which have induced the people of the Roman and Neapolitan States to join willingly in the subversion of their governments. The first of these was that the government of the Pope and the King of the Two Sicilias pro vided so ill for the administration of justice, the protection of personal liberty, and the general welfare of their people, that their subject& looked forward to the overthrow of their rulers as a neces sary preliminary to all improvement in their con dition. The second motive was, that a conviction had spread since the year 1849 that the only manner in which Italians could secure their independence of foreign control was by forming one strong govern ment for the whole of Italy. The struggle of Charles Albert, in 1848, and the sympathy which the present King of Sardinia has shown for the Italian cause, have naturally caused the association of the name of Victor Emmanuel with the single authority under which the Italians aspire to live. Looking at the question in this view, her Majesty's government must admit that the Italians themselves are the beet judges of their own interests. That eminent jurist Vattel, when discussing the lawfulness of the assistance given by the United Provinoes to the Prince of Orange when he invaded England and overturned the throne of James IL, says, " The authority of the Prince of Orange bad doubtless an influence on the delibera tions of the States General, but it did not lead them to the commission of an act of injustice, for when a people for good reasons take up arms against an oppressor, it is but an act of justice and generosity to assist brave men in the defence of their liberties." Therefore, according to Vattel, the question re solves itself into this—Did the people of Naples and of the Roman States take up arms against their governments for good reasons ? Upon this grave matter her Majesty's govern ment hold that the people in question are them selves the best judges of their own affairs. Her Majesty's government do not feel justified in de claring that the people of Southern Italy had not good reasons for throwing off their allegiance to their former governments ; her Majesty's govern ment cannot, therefore, pretend to blame the King of Sardinia for assisting them. There remains, however, a question of fact. It is asserted by the partisans of the fallen governments that the people of the Roman States were attached to the Pope, and the people of the kingdom of Naples to the dynasty of Francis IL, but that Sardinian agents and foreign adventurers have by force and intrigue subverted the thrones of those sovereigns. It is difficult, however, to believe, after the astonishing events which we have seen, that the Pope and the King of the Two &Ulna possessed the love of their people. How was it, one mast ask, that the Pope found it impossible to levy a Roman army, and that he was forced to rely almost entirely upon foreign mercenaries 1 How did it happen, again, that Garibaldi conquered nearly all Sicily with 2.000 men, and marched from Reggio to Naples with 5,0001 How but from the universal disaffection of the people of the Two Sicilia' ? Neither can it be said that this tes timony of the popular will was capricious or cause less. Forty years ago the Neapolitan people made an attempt regularly and temperately to reform their government under the reigning dynasty. The powers of Europe, assembled at Laybaoh, resolved, with the exception of England, to pot down this attempt by force. It was put down, and a large foreign army was left in the Two Sicilies to main tain social order. In 1848 the Neapolitan people again attempted to secure liberty under the Bourbon dynasty ; but their best patriots atoned by an imprisonment of ten years for the offence of endeavouring to free their coun try ; what wonder, then, that in 1880 the Neapolitans, mistrustful and resentful, should throw off the Bourbon', as in 4688 England had thrown off the Stuarts ? It must be admitted un doubtedly that the severance of the ties which bind together a Sovereign and his subjects is in itself • misfortune. Notions of allegiance become con fused, the succession of the throne is disputed, ad verse parties threaten the peace of society ; rights and pretensions are opposed to each other, and mar the harmony of the state. Yet it must be acknow ledged, on the other band, that the Italian revolu tion has been conducted with singular tamper and forbearance. The subversion of exist ing power ban not been followed, as is too often the case, by an outbreak of popular vengeance. The extreme views of democrats have nowhere prevailed. Public opinion has checked tho excesses of the public triumph. The venerated forms of constitutional monarchy have been &MO- dated with the name of a prince who represents an ancient and glorious dynasty.

(now on ownt CORRESPOND= (BY SUBNAR/NE TELIORAPTI.) NAPLES, iIIDAT. Carta capitulated to-day. The troops leave with the honours of war, but lay down their arms at the Porta di Napoli of Caput. To-morrow they will come to Naples. Naples is illuminated, and there ars great rejoicings. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office : NAPLES, Nov. 2. Capita has capitulated. Military honours have been granted to the garrison, who, to the number of 8,000 men, have been disarmed and sent to Naples, where they will embark. GAETA. The following is from a Gaeta letter, dated the 27th ult. : "The day before yesterday the royalist army re ceived the order to beat a retreat ; during thenight it took up position on this side of the Garigliano, after a sharp artillery engagement between its rear guard and the Piedmontese vanguard, which had passed Seem Thus the struggle ie come to the Bay of Gaeta. In Capua were left 6,000 men and artillery. Behind the river there are already 20,000 men, who can be reinforced by the garri son of Mole and of Gaeta. The bridge is being de stroyed, and barricades thrown up in front of Mole. "The army still hopes that there will be some foreign intervention ; it is confident, chafes at being ordered to retreat, and complains of not being well commanded. There is a certain want of order visible. The commissariat is no longer regular in its supplies, and camp utensils are wanting ; but this might happen anywhere. At the present moment no serious defence can be made, except behind the walls of Gaeta, and there, with the sea open, the royalists may hold out for a long time. "To-day six Sardinian steamers came to shell the only road of communication which, following continuously the sea-aide, joins Gaeta with the Garigliano. At the same time the lkdoutable came in from Beyrout. She was signalled to place herself across the road, while the Saint-Louis cleared decks for action, and performed the same manceuvre. A.Elardinian officer came to take the orders of the Admiral Lebarbier de Tynan, and con veyed them to the commander of his division, which immediately sailed again for Naples."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mat cos owx PARIS, FamAT Evanta. The only morning journal published to-day is the Moniker, which, notwithstanding an announce ment that its printers would make holiday on the feast of All Saints, appeared in order to give the China news. We cannot yet get at the truth of the affair of the French intervention at the mouth of the Garigliano. The Prase, with a knowledge of the telegrams to the oontrary, believes it to be *Khan that "loins Sardinian steamers wishing to cut off communica tions between the Garigliano and Gaeta, were pre vented by Admiral Lebarbier de Tinan." The Opinion Nationale, observing upon the news given by the Daily News, says that the denial telegraphed from Turin does not meet the Nee, because it was never alleged that Admiral Pagano had com menced the bombardment of "Gaeta. " The Meaaager du Midi publishes the following very ex traordinary letter, which is by some thought to contain the explanation of the matter : Toulon, Oct. 30. A squadron of two frigetes and roar strain corvettes, under the Sardinian flag, having troops on board, appeared on Oct. 27 at the mouth of the Garigliano, sod cannonaded the royal camp which defended that position. At the sound of the first shots Admiral Letarber de Tina anchored before Gaeta, sent the Descartes deem-frigate with orders to pled itself between the attacking ships and the shore, and to put a stop to the firing until the admiral himself arrived. At the moment when the Ideoarten started, the Redoutable, arriving from Syria, was seen in the offing, and the admiral signalled to her to dear decks and prepare for action. At the same time the Saint Louis and Itirdepeie got up their steam, and the affair was looking very serious, when the Sardinian Admiral sent the corvette Ardita with • flag of truce end a protest which was delivered to the French Admiral end also to the commander of the English vessel &sown ; after this the Sardinian Admiral retired to Naples. It was asserted among the officers of tho French squadron that the troops on board the Sardinian ships were those of General Turr, who as hastiest stated had embarked at Naples for an unknown destination and that Garibaldi was at the bottom of the lehauffourie, he having wished to try practically whether the French Admiral would employ force to prevent a landing. Whet gives a certain degree of probability to this version is that the affair took place before the arrival at Naples of the King of Piedmont, who would certainly have opposed it. The Pays contains the following paragraph, which manifestly does not tell the whole truth : At the moment of going to press we receive some infor- motion relative to the pretended attack of Admiral Perim* upon Gaeta. It results from this information that instroc- , tions are said to hay, been given (umlaut Oa donneee) the two governments of France and England to the two admirals, in the view of a possible attack by the Pied montme fleet. But this attack not having taken plies, Admiral LA:artier de Moan had no occasion to amente the orders of his government. The above note, you will observe, insinuates that the omen given to the two admirals were identical, and sinks the fact of Admiral Lebarbier do Tuns having taken any action whatsoever. The Paris contains a more elaborate but equally lane apology for a fact the details of which it also evades. It says : The Italian journals speak inaeouretely of what has just pawed on the Neapolitan coast. [Here we have an &amis. ~ ~ r ~~ tbt Pays, that " something" bee pared.) testae know that the blockade of Outs is not by any power ; dm Turin cabinet knows the in given to Admiral Leberbier de TiOill —instrue- Wan based upon a sentiment of propriety and humanity WM& everybody will appreciate. The King of Maple, is at GaAs with his young wife, and hie brothers and sisters, several of whom are of tender years. This family will not lags the king, and an attack by land and sea would expose • young family which has nothing to do with the events now taking place to the utmost danger. Under these circum stances the attack upon Gaeta was not ordered, and it is not correct to say that Admiral Pagan's squadron pre sented itself before that port. • It is pretty plain from the above that there has been an unwarrantable intervention on the part of France, and it makes no difference whatever, in point of principle, that the ships interfered with were not acting immediately under the orders of Victor Emmanuel, but only under those of Garibaldi M. Eugene Venillot, of the Univers, has sent to the Opinion Nationale the text of M. de Grammont's despatch to the French Consul at Ancona, about which there has been so much dispute ; but M. Gueroult recommends him to insert it first in the Monde or Anti de is Religion, and if it snipes a warning he promises to copy it. I understand, however, that the document will appear in the Connieutionnel to-morrow. The Bourse was firm, but without any peculiar feature. The Rente, after a rise of about 10c., left off at yesterday's prices. Mobilier rose lfr. Railways were on the whole a little higher. The term fixed for sending back the army horses confided to different farmers expired on the 30th Sept., but the Minister of War hiumissued a notice that they will be allowed to remain where they are until further orders.

The Emperor of the French has canned to be written the bellowing letter to Mr. J. Biota-Rowsell, editor of the Treaty, in refcreuce to the projected excursion of volunteers to Paris : • Palace of the Tuileries, Oct. 29, 1860. "Sir,—The Emperor will always witness with planar* anything that can contribute to the frinully relations between and Fnuce. The proposal for an excursion of volun teers toPeris which you have submitted to his Majesty has ac cordingly been appreciated by him as it deserved to be, and the reception given to your compatriots will, you may be assured, be worthy the proceeding in whose accompbeh. meat you wish to assist.

Otherwise, as you will understand, the manifestation would lose to a great extent the character of spontaneity upon which its value depends.

Sion the receipt of this letter, so cordial towards the volunteers, Mr. Rowsell has been honoured at his own request by an interview with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambnclge, to whom he had communicated the Em peror's reply. The duke considered the project very favour able to the maintenance of friendly relations between Fog. land and France. He has desired that the execution of the project should remain in private bands, in order to allow the volunteers to act spontaneously. Mr. Rawson had also the honour on the same day of com municating the letter to the Right Hon.

After observing on the refusal of the Admiralty authorities to give hie invention 'a trial, he announces that, should they con tinue thus obdurate, he will disclose his plan to our (then) trusty ally, the Emperor of the French. Now was Lord Dun donald misled by a chimera of his own brain ? If not, and if be kept his word, he baa deposited a fearful power in the heeds of Napoleon 111. No one, we are well aware, can keep a secret better them that inscrutable poten tate.

The Ceylon branch of the Asiatic Society ban elected Sir Edward Cressy, the chief justice, as vice-patron. On taking the chair, he said :—" Although my own literary pursuits have been chiefly directed to the histories and languages of Europe, I have always taken a deep interest in Oriental ethnology, and in the historical evideucea which the literature and the architectural monuments of the East supply, as to the early habitations and the movements of the human race." We (Army and Navy Gazette) understand that farther experimenta with Profemor Way's electric light will shortly take place before the members of the Ordnance select committee, prior to a report on the subject being laid before the government. Among the deaths of the week is that of Capt. Maoonochis, inventor of the Mark System of Prison Discipline, and the author of many tracts and papers on that Nubject. Many members of the suite attending the Prince Regent at Warsaw have been decorated by the Russian Emperor, and others have received valuable presents. The edjetanta received the insignia of higher grades in the orders already conferred on them, and Privy Councillor Mire, the surgeon to the Prince Regent, and Court Councillor Borck were presented by the Car with muff boxes, either bearing his likeness or with the imperial cipher in brilliants. Two commissioners have arrived in this country from the Sultan of Moroooo, on a special mission. The labours of peace (travanx de la paix), so called by the Emperor Napoleon in his address to the Corps Legialatif, are about to commence with the next session of that body. The Minister of State is indefatigable in forwarding to the Council of State plans and drafts of bills relating to great works of public talk/. The Emperor, during his late journey, decreed of himself the execution of sever.d considerable works, both in the lately &named provinces and in other parts of France through which he passed. All than plan bars been the object of profound study. so that the approaching session of the Corps Legislatif is expected to be one of the i most remarkable in remits of any which has occurred since the proclamation of the empire.

The memorial complained that the lives of the inhabitants were jeopardised, and the value of the property in the neighbourhood was most seriously deans. dated, on account of the offensive odours arising from this open sewer, and prayed that the board would cause it to be covered over. The memdrial, on the motion of Mr. Room, was referred to the Main Drainage Committee. THE NORTHERN RIDDLE LEVEL HEWER.

Mr. TIT; M.P., in rising to move "That the board take the necessary steps far a renewed application to parliament in the ensuing session for the amendment of the Metropolis Local Management Act," said that there was a general desire on the part of the different vestries of the metropolis that there should be a renewed application to parliament for an amendment of the present Metropolis Local Management Act. He said that the bill bad really passed the com mittee, and he believed that it would have been passed into a Law had it not been introduced at so late a period of the session. He believed that as the bill had received a very fall discussion by a select committee in the last session, if it was introduced in the next session it would be exempt from the expenses of a private bill. He had consulted the Speaker and Mr. May, and he was fully assured that it was a public bill, and therefore all the expenses of counsel before a select committee would be saved. He hoped, therefore, that the board would now take the matter in hand, and deal with this question by going again to parliament with the bill, as it was passed last year by the select coin. mitts*. Mr. itaurrow, M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. Deputy IiARAMON suggested that if they went spin to parliament they ought to strike out from the bill all the clams relating to vestries, and merely ask for powers which were necessary to carry out the duties of the board. He concluded by moving as en amendment, " That before this board take any steps for a renewed application to parliament they should consider and agree to the various provisions they propose to be embodied iu the same bill." Mr. LrAtIE seconded the amendment, which, however, was lost, and the original motion was carried. Mr. TITS, M.P., said he would follow up the motion by moving, " That the bill withdrawn by Mr. Tite in the last session of rliament be referred to a committee of the whole boar d, with a view to the consideration if any, and, if so, what alterations should be made in it previous to its introduction to the House of Commons, and that the rend. site notices be given." This motion was also carried. Some other business of a routine character was then du. posed of, and the board adjourned. (fox LAST mores oaram.)
