have withdrawn into the mountains. The brothers
Mantrichi are at the head of the movement. Rein-
forcement-) of troops are being continually despatched

SPAIN AM) MOROCCO.
PARIS, SUNDAY, Oct. 30.

The Mortiteur of to-day contains an article which
first gives an account of the attacks of the Moroc-
cans on the French territory during the months of
August and September last. The article then pro-
ceeds thus :—" The daring and the culpable beha-
viour of those tribes deserved a severe chastisement.
The whole western portion of Algeria was coati_
nually in an agitated state. The 'misty of the tribes
under our rule was everywhere seriously threat
cued; it became necessary to act with energy, and
therefore an expedition was decided upon."

The following telepapbic message received by
government shows that this expedition he begun its
work with determination. Telegraphic despatch;
" General Martimprey to the General Random,
Minister of War.—Afts.r an engagement of throe
hours, the second regiment of Zouaves fixed its
victorious eagle in the defile Ain-Tacouralt, where
the whole expeditionary coy* bivouacs. We have
no serious losses."

THE UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.

The steamer Canada, from Boston the 19th inst.,
and from Bald's: the 20th inst., reached the Mersey
about midnight, bringing 71 passengers, but no
specie.

On the 20th, the Canada pealed the Europa,
bound for Boston ; and on the 29th, the City of
Baltimore, hence for New York.

The insurrectionary movement at Harper'. Ferry
had been suppressed by government. The insurrec-
tionists were commanded by a Captain Brown, who
rendered himself notorious in the Free State quarrel
in Kansas. They numbered in the first instance only
17 white men and 6 negroes. They took the
Armoury by storm, and it was subsequently retaken
by the United States Marines. Fifteen of the
insurgents were killed, and there was some
loss of life on the other side also, but
the details are very fragmentary and contradic-
tory. According to one account, it was a de-
liberate attempt to incite a servan insurrection; but
another statement is, that the disaffection originated
in the failure of a contractor to pay his labourers.
There is nothing else of political importance.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

AHOY 017 R OWN CORRRSPONDFN7.)

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENINO.

Yesterday afternoon the telegraph brought from
London an abstract of Louis Napoleon's letter to
Victor Emmanuel. Not one of the morning papers
dared to notice this telegram, for feu the authen-
ticity of the letter should be disclaimed. The Freese
and the Patric now allude to it very cautiously,
the latter journal observing, however, that it says
nothing about the Romagnas, although it is d'tticult
to conceive a settlement of Italy without their case
being taken into consideration. The Pugs publishes
the text of the letter " under all reserve." This
reserve is, however, mere aff:ctation, as the letter
is known to be genuine, and I have moreover strong
reason to know that the Emperor himself was a
party to its publication in an indirect
manner. It was written, as you will ob-
serve from the date (October 20), before the
meeting of Breslau, and I rather think it would
still have been kept secret if any expectation were
entertained that the programme set forth in it would
be realised. The imperial writer well knows that
his plan is radically unacceptable in Italy, that hie
rhetoric will not convert a single Italian
patriot, and that hie apps 411 ad miserecordiam to
the King of Sardinia on account of hie rash treaty
of Villafranca cannot be listened to ; his object in
conniving at the premature publication of the letter
is probably to give public opinion in Italy and else-
where an opportunity to help Wm out of his impos-
sible engagements with Austria. There can be no
doubt that this letter will be the great affair of to-
morrow; this being Sunday, we have but little
means of judging what effect it is likely to produce.
The following communicated note appears in all
the journals :
An English jemmied publishes a telegram addressed from
Paris, accord',g to which it would appear that France has
supplied Spain with the resources and war suale'riel necesimuy
to commence hostilities menet Morocco. We are authorised
to declare that this news is totally unfounded. The French
government is not co-operating with Spain in the operations
which the latter power proposes to direct against Morocco,
and it is quite untrue that the minister at war has placed any
nasikriel whatever at the disposition of the Spaniah govern-
ment.

I never remember so many false statements
going the round of the papers as there have been
lately. The arrival of the Queen of Holland at St.
Cloud was announced several days ago, and has
been commented upon as pert of contemporary hia-
tory. Nobody doubted the fact, but now the Moni-
teur says she has not been there at all, but is gone to
Nice. As to the alleged supply of munitions of war
to Spain, I have seen an inventory of the e-tides,
giving details which it was impossible to suppose
were invented.

Cardinal, Morlot, the Archbishop of Paris, who
had not hitherto followed suit in the episcopal
crusade against civil liberty in the Roman states,
has now, we are told by the linkers, issued hie
circular letter. It is a pity that the government
should have prohibited the publication of these
episcopal mandates. It is very possible, nay, highly
probable, that meny of them, though ordering
special prayers for the Pope as a matter of form,
are separated by many shades of difference from
the insolent and bigoted manifestoes of the bishops of
Orleans end Poitiers. As it is the Univers claims
every bishop who issues a mandate as an ultramon-
tane recruit. The exact number of prelate. who
have thus "pronounced," is, according to this
authority, fifty-four, and the movement is still
going on.
Tne syndioal council of the Bourse has at length
agreed upon a set of rules for the operations of the
newly-created class of agents, the assessor.. They
will begin business either on the tad or the 10th of
November ; both those dates are stated as an appa-
rent authority. The text of the regulations will
not be made public till to-morrow, but the substance
of them is already known. The assessors are not to
be allowed to operate before Bourse hours, as it was
expected they would be. They may do busbies. in
the Bourse simultancorsly with their patrons; but
it is said that the groups about them must not make
a noise so as to interfere with the parquet---a clause
the difficulty of acting upon which in practice
strikes everyone. lhe official bulletin of the
Bourse will, es now, report only the quotations of
the regular hours, but there is to be a supplemental
official bulletin which either the same evening or
the next day will give the prices made by the
assessors after Bourse hours. The assessors will be
competent to do business on primes dont 10c. and
6c., and on shares dont 6fr., just like the old coulisee.
No business is to be done out of the precincts of the
Bourse. The profits will be very large if transac-
tions should be numerous, and it is greatly hoped
that the public will bring grist to the mill. The
contuse was abolished on the pretext that " gambling°
was immoral. The assessors are established, because
it has been discovered that " speculation" is neces-
sary to keep the Hoarse brisk. Tne main differ-
ence, so far u I understand it, is that a credu-
lous public will now have the same facility for
getting rid of superfluous cash as heretofore, but
only for the benefit of regularly authorised prac-
titioners.

PARIS, SATURDAY IVENING.
The following semi•ot&cial paragraph appear. in
the Patrie •

It is stated from a source worthy of credit that the re-
'lettuce long made by the court of Rome to the reforms
Galled for by France as one of the consequences of the pre-
liminaries of Villafranca„ and es one of the bose..vf the future
conartes, is sow Tay much weaker then it was. The
Sovereign Pontiff, listening at length to hie oen personal
feelings, rather than to the blind contents of Cerdinsl Auto-
still, has, it is said, shown to the Duke de Dumont a
disposition (timayNi des di.positem) which authorises the
most serious hopes. If, as we have rearms to tLink I. the
cue, this chenge of policy is sincere, one of the greatest
ditSnultree of the Italian quetion I. in the way of bring re-
moved. We may then ask what will be the stroll ion of those
clumsy friends of the papacy who have devlered end still
proclaim with ouch lamentable zeal that it u impossible tor
the Holy Father to grant reforms.

There can be no doubt that the Pope has been
negotiating with M. de Gramont behind the back
of Antonelli, and that the French government hopes
it has made a great hit.
The Bourse has been utterly stagnant. It is long
since so little business was dooe. The Rente rote
Ioe. for cash and sc. for account, eloaing at 69.50 in
each cane. 31obilier rase 1.25. Railways scarcely
changed.
