[IttSTER'S. TELEGRAMR.]
liTtNNA, Nem-. 12.---An Imperial. autograph
litter . has been addressedto the .Miuister of
Finances, Baron Von Bruck, expressing the desire
of the Emperor to make good the deficit in the
budget of :the • year. 1860 to 1861. In order to
-carry out'the desire of the Emperor a committee
be appointed whose work is to be terminated
at the end :of March,• and the result submitted to
the Cotukcil of the -Empire. -In accordance with
the articles 13 and 16 of -the decree, dated-13th
April) 1851, the number.. of - members of the
Council of the Empire will. be; temporarily hi-
creased for the discussion of this subject.

THE REGENCY OF PRINCE CARIGNAN.
[RE KJTEE! S TELEGRAM.]
PARIS, OCT. 12.—The Moniterir of this morn-
itig says the different assemblies 'of the. - Central
-Italian States have•agreed to offer the regency
to Prince Carignan. This resolution is to be re-
„gretted, especially under the present circum-
-stances of the -approaching. assembling of an.
European congress, called -Co deliberate on -the.
affairs of Italy, because' it tends • to prejudge
questions which -must then be settled.
The Daily News has received the following des-
patch dated Paris,- Friday night :—The news that
the -King of Sardinia has -refused to authorise
the Prince Carignan!s acceptance of the Regency
is false. All -that is, known is, that France has
formally- counselled Sardinia to refuse. The King's
answer is not yet known. •
The Past • has received the following, dated
Paris, Friday.—lt is certain that the Emperor
-has:cidvised the King of Sarctnia'not*to accept
theoffer•dfi the Regency. made to the Prince de
Carignan ;radding-,that if the King should allow
himself to be • drawn into, such a. resolution, he
could no longer rely on the. concurrence of
_France,2and_would create a situation compro-
mising •w, once his _ own kingdom and. the future
of Italy. This is positive: -No official intelligence •
his
,yet-Teached Paris of the King haiing refused
to accept the v•Ote namingtheTrince Regent of
etntral-Italy. , -
'ln a' leader the Daily News says, this contra-
diction. was necessary to prevent a most serious
deoTadation of Piedmont in the eyes of free men
lad' over the world. There is stilt-room to hope
that the Ministers of the Kin°. may •yet make up
tlienlrainds to embrace a wise andindependent
policy, and not gibbet themselves .as :carrying
out-the behests of a foreign sovereign. •
The Times, on the same topic, says, there is an
-earthly providence which knows. better what is
good :for Italy than' Italy knows .:herself. But.
for Victor Emmanuel to be conscious of being an
instrument of intrigues for rnining.a sacred and
bdloved cause, this is hardto be endured, and it
is tyranny to- inflict it. 'lf Napoleon 111. will
nOt:le-t Central Italy'have the Prince Carignan,

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
The Tia:es devotes •considerable space to an
article showing the prevalent feeling in France
on the question of a war with England. The
chief authority tor the opinions expressed is a
res-pcetable French re.viewer, published in Lon-.
don. It is stated that in France .'the prospect
of tii war with England is incessantly dis-
cussed in the high ;places of pcwer, in the '
,publicoffices, in the army, and the navy,
among the working classes, and among men of
13t-Lsiness. The army is reported to ,be unanimous
Torar.rar. In the navy the desire. fcr it amounts
to alrenzy. The Church is as eager as either
the army or navy." The conclusions are, that, in
-a war with England,-the' French Emperor has
the.power of satisfying. army-and navy, of grafi-
;lying the clergy, of winning over the legitimists,
,andkiff securing the suffrages of a united people:

THE GREAT EASTERN.
Prparations are being made to lay up the
Great Eastern for the winter. Considerable
slterations will be made in the machinery.
The deck will have to be re-laid. The total
,expense yet to be incurred will probably be
£5O,(XtO to £60,000.

tance. The Times, in a leader, congratulates the

• THE HARPER'S FERRY OUTBREAK. •
• The.. trial. of John Brown, ,the leader of the
Harper's Ferry outbreak, terminated at. Charles-
'town on the 31st ult., in the jury rendering a verdict
declaring the prisoner guilty of conspiring to incite
slaves to rebellion; treason against the State, and
murder, each offence being a capital crime, punish-.
able with gull. old Brown heard his doom with•
calmness, uttered not a ward, but stretched himself
composedly on his pt., and 4,w4itcd. the conclusion
of the customary formulary of the Court. The
Court room was crowllt.al with spectators, who,
fliangh,evidently ex.f!ited to a d.:.gree of intensity
altno,t painful 'to bchold, listened to thr_, finding
et! theiary withoutthe slightest audible manifes-
tation of At the .-.;rl--AnSiOn of .the pro-

ceedings a motion for an arrest of judgment was
put in, but, owing to the eilausted.•condition i.of
the counsel, argument upon the point:Was deferred
till the following day. f•.!•:•,.?
On this subject the Washington, correspondent
of the New York Herald, writing on
nthe
ult., says:— ,
• •
" The news ofthe termination of Old Brown's trial has
just reached here.:: . He. was found :guilty 'On all the
counts of the indictment—treason, murder, and inciting
slaves toinsurrection ' • all of capital Offences. He
heaid the verdict, which brings with it a folon'state,
composedly and. Without a murmur, and then be turned
round and settled down•quietly on his pallet His
undaunted bearing gains for him sympathy and.respect ;
and the sentiment is epressed even here that it is' a
pity—that so much truth and. high-mindedness' deserve
a better fate. ' • • . 1.

" I have it on-the most reliable 'authority that the.
death penalty will not be,,immediatelyi.inflicted. ;lie
may be. sentenced to die :on the gallows -within two or
three days, because tlio ordinary.delay. of thirty. days
between:sentence and execution- does "not apply in the
case of one convicted of inciting -slaves t 6 insurrection.
But Governor Wise adthires'Brown'iindomitable pluck,
and for that, and because he wishes to show
,the World
how magnanimous Virginia can .be, he willi.probably
respite the execution for
.at least the thirty days. -I
should not be Surprised, from what I learn, if an order'
will be made directing Brown 'to be sent to Richmond,
and if he should be kept in the penitentiary there till
Such time as the Governor fixes for his execution.
A. Alassachussetts lady, whose name• nnderstand to
be Childs, has written to Wise requesting permission -to
wait upon and. nurse 'the 'unfortunate' old man. The
perinission has been granted. - '
" The feeling gains ground here, ,and in Virginia
also, that taking -into consideration the doubts about
Brown's sanity, and the certainty, that he was a tool in
the hands of leading abolitionists, a measure of mercy.
might very well be extended to him, and that, on the
other hand, the severest pnnishinent.Should be inflicted
on those_who encouraged him in this mad-project.
"The Secretary of "War has Teturned from Harper's
Ferry. lie does nest
.apprehend any further trouble
there, -but has arranzed matters so t'hat troops will be
on guard until the excitement attending the trials of the
prisoners are terminated."
The Harper's Ferry reporter of the same journal
says :.---4`he ivhole df Jefferson county and the ad-
joining counties -in Virginia and Maryland con-
tinue in a state of great and_ increasing excite-
.ment, which will •ha.rdly be allayed so .long as
" Old Ossawatomie Brown " continues' to, live.
Rumours and reports of movements by the
abolitionists 'to rescue. Brown and his men,.
now on trial at Charlestown, .or to aver e.
their death, should they be - executed, were' in
continual circulation, and -` the ' authorities were
constantly sending and receiving telegraphic
despatches on the subject. The purport of these
communications was. not -suffered •to transpire,
but enough had-leaked. out to keep up the fever.
From the remarks of the counsel for the prose-
cution in -opposing delay in the trial. of old
Brown, as well as from the . few words dropped
by the Court (Judge Parker) in that
,connection,
'a it Was inferred that n attack of some sort was
momentarily apprehended.
A CANDID ADMISSION.
Senator WilsOn, of MassaehusSetts,in his speebh
delivered in Syracuse, on the - gSth ult., said
The Harper's Ferry outbreak was the. conse-
pience of the teachings of republicanism:" Just
what we -have :been Asserting, says the Herald,
