IWe need not pause to ask what soy free adorably of
Italians would say to a proposition foe entering Mb
a permanent political partnership with the federal
nominees of Vienne, Rome, and Naples, gersrlfe4
they are. But there is, we are told a stipulation
in the forthcoming treaty that the two ESIPEROILB
shall conjointly use their influence to persuade the
Vatican to reform its adminivtrative system. Con-
joint remonstrances have been tried before without

effect: what likelihood is there of their succeeding
better now ? If the terms of the treaty be accu-
rately described (and we have no reason to
donht that they are so), they tend fatally
to confirm the Papal Government in its obstinate
adherence to its old and inveterate habits of misrule.
No territorial change is, wears told, to be permitted
in those States which took so part in the late war,
without the approval of a majority of the European
Powers which were parties to the settlement of 1814.
Until, therefore, a Congress shall have assembled,
deliberated, and decided on the re-distribution of the
States of the Peninsula, the Holy See is bidden to
take comfort, as neither France nor Austria will re-
cognise the liberation of any portion of its territorial
victims.

Nevertheless, we adhere to the conviction we hays
already expressed, that, as far as the destiny of the
Italian people is lastingly eneeerned, this lest pro-
duct of the diplomatic loom is no more than a huge
sad fragile cobweb, in wheel meshes the weak and
blind may be for the moment entangled, but which
the first 'isolate hand will, without effort, brash
away. Lett the Italians sot permit themselves to be
imposed on or dispirited by big words. Courage,
wisdom, patience, union—these, which they already
have, are sufficient, with perseverance, to defeat al
plots which may be formed against them.

LATEST, INTELLIGENCE.

RING VICTOR EMMANUEL AT GENOA.

Oa the morning of the lath King Victor Em-
manuel received in a body the municipality of
Genoa, the Mayor of Brescia, and a deputation
from Bergamo. In reply to an address from the
Mayor of Genoa, the King observed that the cause
of Italian independence was the cause of justice,
and that he would continue to defend it to the
utmost of his power. His Majesty spoke also of
the moral and material assistance he had received
from the Italian people, recalling acts of valour and
heroism on the part of the soldiers and
volunteers, adding that the Genoese soldiers
and those of Riviera ceded to none when
danger was to be encountered; but much
yet remained to be done. The difficulties and
obstacles to be surmounted were numerous; but he
hoped that with resolution, union, and perseverance,
the lawful wishes of Italy would be granted. " Cer-
tainly," added his Majesty, " there are questions
which are solved much more promptly on the battle
field than by means of diplomacy; but we hope,
nevertheless, that a satisfactory result will sties
from the latter, since our cause has with it the sym-
pathies of Europe." Tne King also addressed some
friendly words to the Mayor of Brescia, and to the
deputation from Bergamo.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1859.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TNERSDAY EVENING.

The news circulating about what has been done or
may be doing at Zurich is worse than no in-
formation at all. It comes chiefly from the Belgian
papers, and is a mere heap of confusion. According
to one statement, the delay in completing the second
treaty arises from the fact of the question of the
Lombard debt having been referred to the arbitra-
tion of the King of the Belgians. Oar correspon-
dent confidently says that the King has already
made his award, and that all the treaties will be com-
pleted in a day or two. Bat another authority, of
equal weight, affirms that the question has never been
referred to arbitration at all, Austria having at the
last moment accepted the ultimatum of Piedmont
as to the figure. The Pays has asserted that the
signature of the two treaties which are wanting to
complete the Labours of the Zurich Conference, is
only delayed on account of diplomatic formalities,
and that the three powers are entirely agrrod as to
every point to be embraced in the treaties. Another
version is that the differences remaining to be
arranged are very unimportant. But the Nord
speaks as if everything between Sardinia and
Austria remained unsettled. According to some of
the correspondents of this journal, the King of Sar-
dinia protests "mat energetically" against the
proposed frontier line, against the exorbitant amount
asked in respect of the debt, and against the
form in which the preliminaries of Villafranca
are recited in the treaty between France and
Austria. Negotiations on "these three points" are
said to be going on. The Nord further affirms that
the "signature announced by the Mooitever to the
first treaty was cot a definitive signature, bat only
paraph,' " and that this treaty will not be final
unless the others which are in serious dispute shall
be agreed upon. The semi-official journals here
have no instructions, and are as mute as the 3forii-
hew. The Steele, the Press', and the Opinion
Nationale refuse to believe that the Zurich eon..
ferenoe can have pursued any such arrange-
ment as that elaborately set forth in the
Independence Beige, an arrangement which,
under the pretext of • compromise between
the rights of legitimacy and the rights of the
people, would grossly violate both the one principle
and the other. Amidst all this confwdoa it should
be remembered that the Pays, which, as the frequent
organ of this Foreign.office, is more likely to be well
informed than the Belgian journals, said the day
before yesterday that all questions relating to
Central Italy were reversed for a congress. A letter
frem Berlin noticed by the Prom states • hat
which I have not seen elsewhere, viz., that imme-
diately after the signature of the treaty be-
tween France and Austria, the two high
co•traeting parties convened the other powers,
parties to the treaties of 1815, to meet in a congress.
This statement is the more pointed because the letter
rays that the news was received by telegraph at
Berlin at the same time as that of the signature of
the treaty. On the same authority it is assumed at
Berlin that a oopy of the treaty will be sent to the
different courts appealed to in order to enable them
to judge of the propriety of joining in a congress.
All that I can add to the desultory summing up of
the doubtful news floating about, is that the Foreign-
office people in Paris speak very resolutely about a
congress, and talk lightly of doing without England
it she persists in her scruples and will not mime into
the arrangement on the terms desired by France
and Austris.

The Howse continues in the same dull state. The
Rents fell 16c. for cub, and dc. for account, closing
at 69fr. 60c., and 69fr. 650. Mobilier was about lfr.
higher. Railways fell a little.
A correspondence in the Debuts states that the
little French army in Cochin China having been
obliged by fatigue and sickness to give up its enter-
prise there, is going to China. Vice-Admiral Rigand
de Genouilly, although he evacuates Tourane, will
leave a garrison at Saigon. Captain (of a frigate)

The Mayor of Brest, who must, I think, be of
Irish extraction, has just issued a decree from which
I extract the two following clauses:

PIEDMONT.

A Turin letter gives uu following u the sub-
stance of a new law to be proposed by M. Refuel,
In consequence of the annexation of Lombardy to
Piedmont :

The Lombardo-Sardinian kingdom, for ench will be the
official title of the state, is to be divided into ten or twelve
great provisoes, each of between 700,(00 and 800.000 in-
habitants. These provinces are to be divided into districts,
the districts into circumscriptions, and the latter into town-
ships. Each province to have a governor, waisted by •
council. In each district there is to be an Intendant, under
the direction of the governor, and in each township &syndic.
Such I. the administrative order representing the pewit-
neut. The governor will have a threefold character—
political, administrative, and judicial. The council,
named by the government, will only have jade-
diction in PINS of administrative disputer, with appeal to the
Court of Amounts aed the Council of State. The governor,
the councillors, the intendant, the delegate and the syndic
am to be aimed by the King. The syndic, however, must
be selected from among the municipal councillors. The pro-
vincial and municipal councils are to provide fa the repre-
sentation of the province and townships. The provincial
deputation Oa institution copied from Belgium) is to be coin-
posed of ea many members as there are districts, net more
than six nor less than two deputies ; its duration is used for
one year, but may be prolonged. The members are to re-
ceive an indemnity during their session. The governor e
president of the deputation. The budgets of t oldie of
Turin, Genes, and Milan, and other large places, are to be
submitted for approbation to the Council of State. With
re-
spect to the new territorial divisions, the government is to be
allowed three years for fixing the limits of the cironmacrip-
nous and townships.
