It is expected that the treaties of peace will be
ratified on Sunday next. The full powers entrusted
to the Plenipotentiaries will then be withdrawn.
The subscriptions to the national loan having
reached the sum of 20 millions routes, a proportional
reduction will be made in allotting the amounts
applied for acoording to the time when the applica-
tions were sent in. Those who subscribed during
the first five days of the opening of the subscription
will have allotted to them 47 per cent. of the amount
of their subscription; the others less.

Allow me in doing so to ask how it is that no
London committee has been formed to give publicity
and form to this subscription? The spontaneous
offerings which day by day appear in your columns
are evidence of a wide-spreed sympathy with the
object, which, properly appealed to, would give a sa-
tisfactory result. But you must be well aware, air,
that the great mess of the public never move in
such matters spontaneously ; they wait for •
recognised initiative. Why should my Lord
Shaftesbury have accepted the violent disapproba-
tion of the Times as proof of the apathy of the
English people? At any rate, when British feeling
sod opinion have manifested themselves beyond all
doubt, will not his lordship re-consider his decision?
Will Lord Ellenborough manifest his sympathy in
action as he has in words? The fact is that the
feeling on this subject would have more fitting ex-
pression were it less universal. No extreme section
(to do them justice, usually the first to act) has ven-
tured to take up the matter, probably lest they should
sectionalise a national movement.

Once more, let me ask, sir, where are the men to
whom Englishmen are accustomed to look u leaders
when a national sentiment has been aroused, and is
seeking for appropriate action P If they now abdi-
cate their natural functions smaller men will take
their place.—l am, B:c., S.

The Journal de St. Peterebeetrg announce" the
unwed of Scheinyl at Kalouga, the town selected for hie
residence. He was attended by his son and three =rides,
and alighted at the principal hotel of the place. The neat
day he paid a visit to the governor, and &flamer& went to
see the house intended for him. He was particularly strut►
by the black marble busts of two Greek philosophers in ens
of the rooms, and after many questions respecting the per-
erns they represented, be reviewed to have them removed,
so his wives would be frightened at the dark faces. He
expected himself perfectly satisfied with the house and
locality in which it was situated.
A communication from Warsaw of the 9th, in the
Augsburg Gazette, states :—" The Jews of this city had
been excluded from the of rotaries', bat they deter-
mined to prevent themselves to the Emperor before his de-
parture. For that purpose a considerable number of them
met on the Prigs-bridge, in attendance on the Rabbet, who
wee to present bread end telt to the Emperor. When the
thief of the police leaned the object of their meeting, be
advised them, on account of the rain, to go into a neighbour-
ing synagogue, and there elect a deputation. The Jews did
so, but when they entered the building a entry was placed
at the door, and they ware not allowed to issue from it until
the Emperor bad left."
THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT IN LIVERPOOL.—
The British and North American Mall (Cunard) Company,
who employ about 300 persons at their stores in Liverpool,
bare invited all their employes to form amongst themselves a
Volunteer Rifle Corp,. Thm will be an easy matter for them
to do, as the majority of them, in their drily toil, are eons-
tensed to all deacriptson of heavy engineering work, so that
they will easily and rapidly acquire the an of using and
moviug artillery of the largest calibre. In Liverpool and
the adjacent townships numbers of young men in the prime
of life daily join the numerous nfie and artillery corps, so
that in a short time the volunteers of Liverpool and its
suburbs will be numbered by thousands. The newly-formed
Liverpool Artillery Corps selected the majority of their
editors on Taelday night.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WIDNIIIIDAN BYINIWU.

The French press, of all chase of opinion, the

government journals (which are as yet without
orders to speak at all) only excepted, construe the
appointment of Chevalier Baoncompagni as I did
yesterday, via., u a practical taking possession by
the King of Sardinia of the states which voted the
annexation, and as an act prejudicing the decision of
the congress quite as mach as the acceptance of the
regency by the Prince de Carignan would have
done. The Univers is perfectly furious at the
disappointment. The Union and Gazette de France
are also loud in their lamentations. The Sieele is
pleased, and thinks it a matter of small importance
whether the provinces which have achieved their
independence be administered by Prince de Carig-
nan or M. Baonoompagni :—" The important point is
that all the powers shall be united in one band; that
the administration of the Duchies and of Romagna

shall base the force of unity and oohesion ; and that
annexation, so to speak, be worked out." The
Sieele, however, mistakenly supposed! that M. Baon-
compagni mast have been appointed with the con-
sent of the Preach Emperor.
While writing I receive the evening papers, and
find in the Pays the following highly important

declaration : _ _ -
Prance bee hitherto gives to the ones of Italy Idilielsat
pledges of the great interest she takes In It to have justgled
the hops that bar advice would be followed, at least upon
points nearly concerning the solution of the problem whir&
it was the object of the French intervendon to solve. Un-
fortunately, this has not been the um is regard to the oar
made to Pria(lll ds Carignan of the regency of Central Italy.
Prelim was of opinion that the acceptance of this regency
weld be impolitio and dangerous, more especially on the eve
of a commis. It has, however, been accepted; for the ap-
potatment of Commander Buoncompagni to execute the man-
date of Prince de Carignan is a substantial acceptance—
wanting nothing but straightforwardsmes to make it rem-

piste. Such aeo lotion we; aot of a nature to satisfy the es-
peotationa of the French government ; end we have MKS
to know that the Emperor hes formally disapproved cd
sad that Piedmont and Italy will be informed of hie disap-
probation.

The serious step, which beyond all doubt Napo-
leon 111. has !waived upon, is announced in the
following terms by the Patrie:
Wean enured that the same reasons which induced the
French and Sardinian governments not to ratify the election of
Prince de Carignan led them also to oppose the choice of
M. Buoncompagni, since the questions to be submitted to
the congress must not be prejudged.
There is a manifest contradiction between the
statements of the Pays and the Petrie in this : that
while the latter journal represents the King of Sar-
dinia as acting in concert with the Emperor of the
French, the other, and the more official organ, stig-
matises the appointment of M. Buoncompagui as a
real but disingenuous acceptance of the prohibited
regency on the part of the King, and especially
visits Piedmont with his Majesty's disapprobation.
This news, whichever may be the tens version of
it, will produce a sensation in Italy the consequence

of which it is impossible to calculi.m. According to
the lettere and papers just arrived from Turin,
public opinion then was in no way disposed to
yield. The Diritto says :
. . .

-
The policy of prudence and regard for diplomatic' con-
siderations has been exhausted—the time has team for

vigorous and manly resolution.

Again, the Indipendente :
The honour of the Kit% is too deeply engaged for it to be
possible for him to go beck or compromise.

The Gazetta del Popolo eays, gaily :

No wears= I If we accept the regency, the Emperor
will perhaps be angry; bet never mind, he won't kill la.
He who fought for ma so well, should he upbraid, our only
answer is .—" Your Majesty, Piedmont, Lombardy, and
Central Italy an very grateful to you.'

- _
A letter of Nov. 14 says that M. Rtioncompagni
is perhaps of all men in Italy the one most deter-
mined to maintain the cease, as he has shown by his
speeches, writings, and acts. In the anxious con-
sultation held with the King in the night of Friday,
he displayed an energy and firmness of purpose
which produced a great impression.
The very serious news communicated by the
evening papers was not known at the Bonne; but
the Rente sustained a further fall, in consequence
of apprehensions about the consequences of M.
Buoncompagni's nomination. The closing prices
were 69fr. 8.5 c. both for cash and account, with a
fall in each cue of 16c. Mobilier fell 121 r. 60c.
Railways were only from lfr. 25c to 2Er. 60c. lower.

ITALY.

SARDINIA.
mom ooz OWN COSIMPONDINTa

TURIN, Nov. 12.

One day fine, the next day wet, is the Order of the
weather now, and something like it is that of our
present policy in Piedmont. The other day the
Sovereign felt disposed to gratify the wish of Central
Italy, and among the people there was but one
opinion, and that was that all hesitation should be
oast aside, and that the mission of Prince Eugene, as
regent, had become a necessity. The whole of the
press tendered this counsel, and it was consoling to
read in the foreign journals a nearly unanimous
opinion that Piedmont ought not to resist the desire
of the four provinces expressed in so solemn and
resolute a manner. The information received from
Paris did not appear adverse. A few dubious or
rather half-way expressions collected during one or
two conversations with an exalted personage induced
the belief that the opinions previously entertained
at the Tuileries had been modified. But it
appears that the timidity and irresolution of
the present ministers of Victor Emmanuel have dis-
concerted everything. They have thought fit
also on this occasion to adopt their usual unfortunate
system of formally and officially asking from French
diplomacy its express consent. Well, it has so fallen
out that the answer sent direct from the French
Foreign-office concludes with a blunt and emphatic
" No. Walewski has received permission (one does not
know how or why) to follow out his inexorable policy
towards Central Italy—a policy that entails this
monstrous dilemma, either anarchy or the re-
storation.

You may imagine, without my describing it, in
what a state of agitation and confusion our ministers
are. On one side they see the sad consequences (and
they might become moat fatal) of rejecting the offer
of the four Assemblies ; on the other, they do not
dare break those servile bonds with which they have
enthralled themselves to French diplomacy. Yes-
terday evening they sent for Count Cavour, Bon-
oompagni, and d'Azeglio, and requested their ad-
vice. If I have been accurately informed, these
gentlemen declared they had been called in a little
too late, and could hardly tenderany acceptable counsel
now that ministers had so imprudently provoked an
official reply from the French government. In the
meantime the ministry is becoming disorganised,
and it is probable that one or two of its members
will resign their portfolios. To-day some influential
men, inspired with the warmest love for Italy. are
going to try if they can induce the ministers to take
a more courageous part. I will mention to you a
particular circumstance; it has been imparted to
me by a person always well informed. In
the despatch sent by Waleweki in reply to that of
the minister Da Bormids, there is actually a threat,
that if Prince Eugene should be sent as Regent, the
European Congress could no longer be held. The
French diplomatist did not think that this was no
threat in the estimation of Italians. They are taking
their measures to maintain themselves in their pre-
sent freedom, and only ask to be allowed to perpe-
tuate the fact so consummated.
I am enabled to state to you the nature of the con-
cessions which the Duke of Grsmont has obtained

from the Pope, and of which the Hositeur speaks
to-day. It is intended then to have elected direct
from the provincial councils the members of the
financial junta, and to give them a deliberative vote.
But you know the Roman theocracy either does not
concede any large reforms at all, or does not put
them into execution. In 1848 there was more than

one deliberative junta in the matter of animist;
there was to be • parliament, too, just es we see in
constitutional countries. But the manner in which
the cardinals and prelates took care to have it all
carried out stands recorded in more historical books
than one.
