FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING—.
The Constitutionnel contains an article upon the

Regency of Central Italy, signed " Grandguillot,"
which asserts that, previously to the Italian war,
France had desired a Congress; and defends the
propriety of European intervention on the following
grounds :

" What has not been said about the right of intervention ?
Great satisfaction has been expressed on the other side of the
Channel at its having ceased for Italy. Note has been care-

fully taken of the successive declarations of the French Go-
vernment to the effect that it will not suffer any, and will
not claim for itself the power of making an abusive use of

hat right which it has taken away from Austria,

It is, however, the very persons who unreservedly ap-
plauded these glorious words who now dare to blame Pied-
mont for not having intervened in Central Italy. We know
well that both in France and elsewhere there are persons
who will maintain that the intervention of Sardinia in the
affairs of the Duchies took place long ago. But in so doing
they make, in our opinion, an intentional confusion of
facts. Piedmont, no doubt, has not remained indifferent to
the memorable events which have changed the political
condition of Central Italy. She has exercised the influence
which her devotedness to the common cause and her recent
victories justly give her. In what limits and with what
measure has that influence been exercised ? We are not
called on to examine that point at present, and it is suffi-
cient to state that the influence has thus far been exercised
by the same right as that by which France, England, and
other Powers have exercised theirs. But if the Piedmon-
tese Government hal not declined the Regency offered to
the Prince de Carignan the influence would have ceased to
be legitimate ; it would have changed its character and
have become a positive intervention.
"In an exclusively Italian point of view, the conduct of
the King of Sardinia has been even still more logical, and
the resolution which he has adopted still more necessary.
Yes, it is to be regretted that on the eve of the Congress
the different Assemblies of Central Italy should have voted,
first of all, the annexation to Piedmont, and next the Re-
gency of Prince do Carignan. We must have the courage
to say that if on these two occasions these Assemblies have
not failed in patriotism, they have failed in political
intelligence. What signified in reality that double
vote? Simply this—that Italy no longer confided in the
wisdom of Europe; that sho even distrusted her decis-
sions, since sho forestalled them ; and that, having be-
come mistress of herself do facto, she would, if neces-
fiery, dispense with tho sanction of international law.
But nothing, absolutely nothing, justified that distrust of
the future resolutions of the Congress. Let Italy be con-
vinced of this fact—that the Congress of which she is now
advised to decline the jurisdiction can alone achieve and
sanction her deliverance. The Congress alone has the
power of consenting to the territorial arrangements which
may be useful to her new organisation."
With respect to the possible restoration of the
former Princes, M. Granclguillot observes :-
4, What has alarmed the Assemblies of the different States
and precipitated their double vote is the fear of seeing the
restoration of the former Sovereigns. But that restoration
was a counsel, not a menace. France has declared a thou-
sand times that it should not in any case be imposed by
force—and must she declare it again? Therefore, let Italy
have no apprehensions on that head. In the name of the
fraternity of races which un;tes her to Italy—in the name
of the blood shed for the same cause on the same field of
battle--France adjures Italy to remember that calm is the
force of nations which are really worthy of the name, and
thannatience is the apprenticeship of liberty."

THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS,

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamship Pera, Captain T. Jamieson, arrived at
Southampton at three p.m. yesterday, with the
heavy portiou of the above named mails in charge
of Mr. J. Ronayne, of the General Post-office. She
brought 80 passengers (44 first-class, 27 second,
and nine children), among whom were the Hon.
Col. Caine, Lieut. Buckle, Lieut. Darling, R.N.,
from China; Lady Maxwell, from Penang; Col.

Lieut. Letti, Lieut. Stapleton, Dr. Martin, Dr.
M'Lutta, Captain Fletcher, Lieut. Huddlestone,
Lieut. Harrison, Major Camprie, Capt. Watson,
Lieut. Creagh, from Calcutta, Madras, and Ceylon.
Her freight list comprised seven packages of
valuables, one package of jewellery, 1,392 bales of
silk, 426 boxes of dates, 64 packages of tusks, 43
ditto of teeth, 214 boxes of fruit, and 199 packages
of general merchandise.
The Pera has had fine weather during the voyage
home. She spoke the following vessels :—Nov. 10,
the brigs Corunna and Unanimity; 11th, the screw
steamers Orontes and Odessa, the brig Canterbury,
and the barque Penelope; 12th, the Royal Mail
steamer Tyne.
At Alexandria, the usual Egyptian fleet.
Her Majesty's ships Scourge, Argus, Banshee,
Caradoc, and Vigilant were at Malta; also the Pen-
insular and Oriental steamship Alhambra.
At Gibraltar were her Majesty's ships Marl-
borough, Caesar, James %Vatt, Conqueror, Scylla,
Agamemnon, Orion, Edgar, Cadmus, Coquette,
Neptune, Victor Emmanuel, Centurion, Doris, Fly-
ing Fish, and Quail. Also the French frigate
Londre, and a Portuguese steam corvette.
The French squadron, under command of Vice-
Admiral Desfosses, consisting of five ships of the
line and a paddle-wheel sloop, were off Algesiras;
and the Spanish squadron, under command of
Brigadier Herrera, consisting of one sailing ship of
the line and one frigate, one paddle-wheel frigate,
two paddle-wheel sloops, and a screw gunboat,
were in Algesiras Bay.
The schooner Hawk (of Shields), James Smith,
master, sprung a leak on the Bth inst., and foun-
dered the next day at 2 p.m., 60 miles east of the
Rock. The master and crew (five in number),
arrived at Gibraltar on the morning of the 10th, in
the dchooner's boat; they had scarcely been able to
save anything but what they stood in. The Hawk
was 70 days out from Ibrail and last from Constan-
tinople, with Indian corn for Cork.
The Gibraltar Chronicle, of Nov. 7, says
Advices from Tetuan of the 2cl inst. state that
the greatest consternation prevailed there both
among the wealthy Moors and the Jews, although
at that date there was no ground for it ; on the con-
trary, after the occurrences on the day of the
Mouette's departure, Ben-el-Hadj, the Bashaw, took
the most efficacious measures for preventing the re-
petition of similar outrages, and, in consequence, no
further insults have been offered, or attempts made
to pillage the people who proceed to the Martin
(place of embarkation). The general opinion is,
that no more robberies will be committed, as Ben-
el-Hadj has pledged his word not to allow the
Kabyles to enter the city. "
The Moor have been seized with so great a
panic that, by the Sncra Famiglia, which left this
last week, they forwarded to Gibraltar a great
number of boxes containing jewels and other
valuables ; and the most influential amongst them
availed themselves of the favour dispensed by
Mr. James Hay, the British Vice-Consul, and Mr.
Nahon, the French Chancelier, to send their pre-
cious gems to Gibraltar in the war vessels
which had arrived to embark the Vice-Consols and
the subjects of their respective nations.
" A rumour was current on the Ist, the truth of
which, however, was not vouched for, stating that
a soldier, known as a servant at the Spanish Con-
sulate at Tetuan, was caught by the Moors of
Angera. He was coming from Ceuta with a letter
which he tore to pieces immethately ; and, being
pressed to reveal the reasons of his errand, he
alleged that he was fully innocent, and was not at
all from Ceuta.

" Orders had been received on the 28th by tho
Commanding Royal Engineer at Tarifa to erect
seven bakeries on the island belonging to that port,
and at the same time to construct stores large
enough to contain provisions, &c., necessary for the
expeditionary army.
" A letter of the 31st from Tarifa announces that
all communication with that fortress by sea is
prohibited."
