This intelligence has created much surprise in England from the precipitancy of the movement, while the British press generally are at a loss to got at its true But the riddle is capable of easy solution, aad will be found in the article of agreement proposed by the Deke of Malakoif while in Spain, and accepted by that government. To avoid the appearance of a collision be- tween these two Powers in their desigus upon Morocco, the decision of the government of Spain when arrived at was first to be communicated to the army of Algeria, be- fore its announcement to the Cortes, Awaiting this conclusion, France for montbs past has kept her Algerine Morocco army inactive; but no sooner is the war regolyed upon than hostilities are commenced. Spain has now nothing to co but to take the field and fol. low the lead of her ally, who will get all the glory as well as the profits of the war; and yet, in the teeth of these unmistakable facts, the French official orgms by “aun- thority’? would have it understood that there exists no understanding between France and Spain in the Morocco question. Such duplicity—to give it the mildest term— ill becomes a government like France, who in the present war at least has no need of artifice to come at her true motives. Ifthe campaign is a just one, why resort to this diplomatic backing and filling as to an alliance which is everywhere known to exist? Even at this momont there in preference to the otherwise impregnable elevation whieh points to he Mediterranean is indeed a mystery, at ib ts certamly a mustake which the Spaniaraa have long since dizcovered. On both sides of the garrison are exceliont barbors for vessels to ancdor in, but the bay to northwest, from i:s direct communication with the city, is the oue of elerence.

The occupation of Algeria is referred twas ap instance of French faith, and her designs upon Morocco of the greatest moment to the safety, uot only of Gibraltar, but Malo, and the Tenian Islands. The English generously concede the fact that France by intern! tional law has the right to: ish the refractory tribe on her frontier borders, but beyond this the war, if unser- ken, becomes one of aggression and of menuce to Eug- land, Various efforts have been made to obtain from France a pledge to the effect that none of the ports of Mo- occo, after their bombardment, shall be occupied either by her own troops of those of Spain. France, peaking for herselt, has refused her assent to these Cnaitions, on the ground of her impossibility to foresee whot turn the war may take. One of the consequences of this svswer bas been England’s increase of her uaval power in the Sicditerranean to seventeen line-of-battle hips These proliminasy Measures are not without their influence upon the authorities of this garrison, who no longer trust to the pacifle protestations of France. A curions feature in these proceedings is the iyitifference Which attaches to the movements of Spain solely. Io reality sho is nothing, but these opinions are likely to prove erroneous before the war is concluded. Spain alone would be cowed into instant submission, but backed, as she is, by France, her influence and power will make themeelves felt in the lovg run to the disappointment of her British admirers. A short time ouly will be required to put France and Spain in possession of all the Morocco ports of the Atiantic, ivelyding the ports of Tangiwr and Tetuan on ibe Mediterranean. It is whispored that Prussia is also to become a party to this war for outrages committed upon a Prossian merchant vessel, somo years since, by the Riff pirates. Also that Sweden has grievances of long standing to redress, Thus it will be seen that affairs iv this quarter are assuming giact proportions, which may inyolve all Europe in the cxeceable sufferings of war.

The block: of the coast of Morocco bad been com- menced by Spanish men-of-war. ‘The latest ac vices from Gibraltar state that heavy firing was heard in the direction of Tangier and Ceuta. The brother of the Sultan was encamped four leagues from Tangier with about 12,000 horsemen, Ho» is said to bave received from the Sultan full power to grant the demands made pain in the ultimatams of the 6th of September and 5th of October. Jews and Christians were being fully protected from in- sult, and severe punishment was threatened for any offenice against thelr property. Large numbers of fugi- tives continued to arrive at Gibraltar, A Madrid despatch of the 11th inst. says:— Yesterday the Moors, with a force of 1,000 men, com- menced their attack upob Couta, coe besieged were prepariitg to make a sortie to repulse them. ‘The Cortes has been prorogued far one week. {From the Gibraltar Curonicie, Noy. 4.] Heavy firing was heard ia the direction of Tangier and Ceuta between five and six o'clock yesterday evening. We understand that the Admiral commanding her Ca- tholie Majesty’s naval forces has given a license to the steamer owned by the contractor for supplying fresh beef tothe troops to enter Tangier harbor, now blockaded, for the purpose of embarking cattle for the use of the garrison. The declaration of war betweén Spaiu and Morocco has brought to this port from Larache our Vice Consui, the Sardinian Consular Agent, and the French and Portuguese Consular Agents, together with their families aud domes- tics. We glean the following particulars from that port:— Her Majesty's steam corvette Scylla, Captain Lambert, brovght to Larache, on the 20th October, the news of the declaration of war. Previously to this, the different vice consuis and consular agents had engaged the services of two Portuguese misticos to convey their effects to Gibral- tar, which sccounts for the British Vice Consul not em- barking in the Scylla. The Bashaw on the same day in- formed the Arabs of the interior of the state of affairs. The Spavish war stcamer Vasco Nunez «> Balboa, having met the two Portuguese vessels at sea, a» | learn: ‘og from them that Christians were still in { «ache, steered for that port and anchored off the bar.

When the budget of this war is presented, it will be found that France has to foot up the principal costs of the Spanish expedition, notwithstanding the ten and twenty per cent tax which Spain has levied—in print—upon Spa- nish property. There is no such sensitiveness on the part of England, who is illegally furnishing both counsel and substantial aid to Morocco, in shipments from this garrison of heavy pieces of ordnance, muskets and pow- der for the defences at Tangier and Mogadore. The steady arrival of French ships of war in this quar- ter is the.best evidence of the deep interest which that nation takes in the approaching campaign. The two na- val forces—England and France—are now nearly equally matched in the Mediterranean; but the preponderance, if anything, is in favor of the former. An indiscretion or hasty movement on the part of the commanders of either of these squadrons may be productive of the most serious copsequences. To judge from the intemperate language of many of the officers of the garrison, such an event would by no means be disagreeable. The greatest preparations are making at Algesiras, and it is now thooght that the expeditionary army will be in readiness for active operation by the 10th of November, or by the 12th at farthest. As the distance to Ceuta is but ten miles from Gibraltar, the Spanish troops will be transported in steamers and steam. tugs, while from the ports of Cadiz aud Tariifa an army of twenty thousand strong will sail direct fer Tangier, to in- vest and hold that city until they are joined by the iand force from Ceuta. the intention of the Moors to make every resistance gier in their power to provent the place from falling an easy prey into the hands of the enemy, and to this end new ve been mouut pre} ital of Fez.

He was compelled to abandon his horse and to make the most of his way on foot to Tangier. We are at the same time in possession of information which shows that measures have been taken by the Emperor to remove into the interior of the country every camel and horse | not required for the use of the army, under pain of death to their owners. Cattle, gram and provisions of every kind have already been takeu care of, 80 that the flattering prospects of the allied army of marches, victories and conquests will in reaiity be founia different thing from those jaid down in the programme by the Spanish Ministry. The tribe of the Beni Hassan—not Snassan as itis incorrectly termed—and who, according to General Martinprey’s account, have been’ recently vanquished, will follow upon the heels of the French army to join the Emperor at Mequinez immediately upon the French leay- ing Algeria. The Veni Hassans are a powerful tribe, and the best disciplined soldiers in the empire, besides pos- sessing the entire confidence of the Emperor and his court. The Kaid, Geueral Ben Mouasin, is getting together wn army of forty tuousand strong, composed chieily of the Kabyles or Berbers, from the Atlas Mountains. This army is intended to operate against the allies in their march to Rhabat from Larach, about midway between these two places in a low swampy ground, where heayy artiliery cannot be used, while the selection will give great facilities to the Moors, a8 well as advantages in the gae- Tilla system ot warfare, in which they excel, But the principal battle, as [ have stated, will be | fought at Mequinez, and ‘us the Moors and Arabs of | this region of country are all friends of the Emperor, it | 8 estimated by many intelligent Moors in the garrison that an army can be collected ofa inillion of men. This figure is doubtless alarge one; but suppose that ey: that number are assembled, the enemy will hy work of it before it gets possession of Fez, one of the capi tals of the empire. Certain itis that the’ Spaniarda have selected the worst searou of the * for their opera. tions. Roads there are none, while ost that can be accomplished by the army will bo ‘ee to four miles aday.

(a8 he is affectionately called by people who don'tlike him), I dou’t know what would be- come of John Bull, in spite of his rowring lion. Louis Napoleon gives the Foreign Office an im- mepse deal of trouble, and all the more that it is so difficult to find what he is driving at. This is because he holds his tongue about his plans and his schemes, and nobody but himself, aud perhaps Old Nick, can know when. he is going to dive, or where ho is going tocome up. Everybody is pretty sure that Spain would never have thought of a fight with the Moora, how- ever romantic it sounds, without the knowleige and conzent of Napoleon ILL. If, then, bis French Majesty allows it, he must have some object of bis own to serve. This supposition makes the Foreign Gifice here very uneasy, and keeps it very active, Itis quite a settled thing in the mind of thy Ene lish government that if Spain wants a fight with her hereditary enemies, she may fight away as long as she picages, and waste all the blood apd treasure she can get for tbe purpose, but if she undertakes to hold possession of avy portion of the coast she may conquer, then Spain will be told in the best Spanish the British Ambassalor cap muster that she must abandon ail such piratical notions, and should she demur she will be m If France should interfere and sustain the preton Spain, then a war would be very likely to eusue between France and Spain on one side, and England on the other, just asin the time of the last Napoleon. Whether any new Nelson would spring up, who would achieve another Trafalgar victory, it would be difficult for your ow respondent to predict. There is no doubt that Napoleon TIL is diseatisfied that the Mediterranean, which is a kind of French lake, should be under the lock ani key of England at altar, and ff be has made up his mind that be can and will take of this English lock and put on one of French manufacture, why, then, I should say he is certain to go about it, and which pation would be the worst affected by this new species of lockiaw, it is hurd to say. Tiotimated broadly in my last letter that England was rather busy io Italy in getting the Italians to do all sorts of things that would be the opposite to what Napoleon pro- mised Austria should be done, and, certainly, the way the Ttalians are going on proves they must have a vory good prompter. The last move that has been made is one of the best. Finding the King of Sardinia could not, out of politeness to Napoleon, accept the crown of Northern Ntaly, what did the knowing ones do next?’ Choose another King, which might bave led to goo ness knows what? No, they have selected Prince Carignan, cousin to Victor Emanuel, as Regent, till the time comes— and no doubt it will—that the King of Sardinia can change his title for a higher one.

THE ITALIAN IMBROGLIO. Probable Interview Between Napoleon and Pius the Ninth.. [Rome (Oct. 29) Correspondence of the London Post ] mongst the variously reported means of moral cocr- cion to which the conscience of Pio Nono is to be subject- ed by way of reconciling his Holiness to the politicai con- cessions so urgently required of him, an interview be. tween the Pope and the Emperor Napoleon is rumored. not unlikely to take place in the ensuing month, at which the two Sovereigns may treat the matter confientia in the Villafranca fashion—any come t> some couclusion more or less satisfactory, but at any rate ic the space of a few miautes, without the long winded intervention of am- bassador, plenipotentiary or secretary of state. Ido not know to what origin to attribute this now prevalent rumor, which, although improbable, is by no means impossible. ‘The sudden execution of such a scheme would be quite in the Nupoleonic style of action. French troops occupy Rome, and would guarantee the Emperor's safety aud dignity. ‘ble of it—Lord {From the London Times, Nov. 10 ] We helped Spain not long ago with men and aillions to revent her becoming a dependency of France; we are not likely to look unfavorably upon any symptom which promises us that we shall not have to doa similar office again.

It is by English ships that these Riff pirates make their money, certainly not by the commerce of Spain. If we bad thought it worth our while, or had believed that punishment would be cifica- cious as a preventative, we should have long ago adminis tered correction to these people without making any great talk about it. If Spain will perform this office for ua, we cannot see what®possible reason we can have for auy envy Or ill-wishes towards ber good enterprise. All our inconvenience, we apprehend, will be confined to the blockade of Tangier. Now, Tangier is our beef market for Gibraltar. The beef is not very good, but it is cheap and plentiful, and even a Frenchman ought to have some toleration for a little sensitivencss in an Englishman who is threatened with a blockade of his roast beef. Happily, however, Tangier is not the only beef market in this part of the world, and perhaps we can hardly make a greator grievance of this loss than that we may have to pay a half penpy a pound more for the fresh meat caten by the Gibraltar garrison. Confiding that the Spaniards are an honorable nation, meaning what they say, and having no arrure pensée of Selling thetnselves and the rest of the world to any other Power, we are bound to wish them all success in their war against the Moors. If they were to ask our opiuion as to the prudence of the proceeding—which they have not done—or if it occurred to us to talk the topic over among ourselves, we might as & mere matter of speculation think it not quite the wisest of all possible enterprises. Some of us English are Spanish bondholdors, and these will think that Spain had better pay ber debts before she talks bigh abont her honor; but these people speak only for tuem- selves, and we pass by the topic, as one interesting only to individuals. It is @ more general consideration that nothing is to be got out of these Moors. The war must be very expensive and the mortality must be very great. ANOTHER LETTER FROM GENERAL GARIBALDI.

Jects of the Cabinet of Washington would be satiated, and the right of way may be fairly transferred to an interna- ional commission, composed of delegates from both States. These, however, are expedients which must of course present themselves to the present negotiators of Treaty. . The advantages which the United Statos will obtain from a right of traffic across the Isthmus are manifold. The Istbmus of Tebuantepec is the narrowest strip of territory. dividing the two oceans in all Central Ame with the exception of the Isthuius of Panama. The ad- vantage of this traffic to @ maritine and cominerciai State will be that it will present a direct route to countries im order to reach which it is now necessacy to.perform the long voyage by Cape Horn, It will therefore give America a direct route to China and to Australia, the former of which lies # little above, and the latter a ‘little below the latitude of Tehuantepec. It is fully twenty thousand miles from Boston or New York to the Chinesé waters by way of the Cape of Good Hope, and even more by way of Cape Horn. On the other hand, the distance from the fur- ther or western coast of Tehuantepec to Australia aud China is not half that distance, Moreover, the eastern coast of Tehuantepec, on the Gulf of Mexico, is in very convenient proximity to may of the great sources and outlets of American couumerce. It is just opeeatie the Floridas on the same gulf, and the mouths of the Mississippi also. ‘The Isthmus of Tehuantepec appeara designed by nature to further this system of overiand traffic from ‘the Gulf to the Pacific Ocead. On the Gul’ is the spacious harbor of Santa Anna, and on the Pacifle the harbor and roadsteads of Tehuantepec itself. ‘The breadth of the intervening neck of land is about one biuitred and twenty miles, ano it is prop sed to. traverse this Isthinus by a railway, which the general eapalty ‘of the sarface would render easy of constraction when the country set- tles down. But in either case the natural means of tran- sitare suflicient in themselves, From the mouths ot the Mississippi to Vera Crug and Santa Aung the dtstauce is but afew days’ sail. The object of the treaty between the Juarez government and the government of the United States 1s, then, that of securing a passage by the Isthmus: of Tehuantepec which shalt halve the distance of the United States from China and Australia. This object is also wel! worth the consideration of our own government. Such is the object of the treaty which the Cubinets of Washington and Vera Cruz are making a final effort to conclude; and we now turn to the questionof the condi- tion of Mexico itself, There certainiy appears reason to hope that a pew era is dawning upon that country. The civil war which has so long raged and has destroyed cre- dit and distracted enterprise, is by degrecs assuming smaller propertions, in consequence of the increasing superiority of the dominant or liberal party.” Sfiramon is now reduced to stich terms that it ts hardly to be anticipated that his cause can be much longer maintained by any section the community. Ip fact, be appears from the latest accounts to be reduced tothe greatest poverty, while Juarez, im possession already of the great proportion of the soil, is im uncontested porsession algo of the whole seaboard of the Gulf of Mexico and of all the trade of Vera Ceuz. Indeed, it is not by'any means beyond the range of probability that the conclusion of a treaty between Juarez aud Mr. Buchanan will bring even the domestic ques- tion approximately to an issue. This is to be cesired above all things for a country whish needs only stable and firm government’ for its developement. As an instance of the terrible blow that has bec dealt to public credit, we may mention that the market price of Mexican bonds in this country (3 per cents) has been for some time between 21 ani 22, and they are even now, though inning to revive, but be- tween 22 and 23. The distractions of the Mexican terri- tory, and the non-payment of interest, have of course been the cause of this depression. A treaty between Mexico and this country, on the conclusion of a former loan, specially reserved the customs duties of Mexico of mortgage for the payment of interest on the jean debt in this country. For a considerable period the confusion of the republic prevented the fuifiiment of this obligatiow, but it is understood that the old arrange- ment bas now been again reverted to, and the first instal- ment of interest due, of which much is in arrear, will be the best proof of the improvement of Mexican credit, In sarez seems to have the'game pretty nearly in his ws, and he has only to play his cards well in rder wb bis own party unaispated masters of the State. iberal governments of Europe are deeply hterested in the realization of Mexican unity, and it is to Juarez that they must obviously look for the attainment f this object. THE VERY LATEST NEWS. Pants, Nov. 12, 1859. The Moniteur of this morning says the different Assem- blies of the Central Italian States have ed to offer the regency to Prince Carignan. This resolution is to be re- gretted, especially under the present circumstances of the approaching assembling of a European Congress, called to deliberate on the affairs of Italy, because it touds to prejudge questions which must there be settled. Lowpon, Noy. 12, 1859. THE REGENCY OF PRINCE CARIGNAN. The London Daily News has received the following des- patch:— Paris, Nov. 11—P. M. The news that the King of Sardinia has refused te authorize the Prinse Cariguan’s acceptance of the Re- Roney ig false. All that is known {s that france has jormally counselied Sardinia to refuse. The King's answer is not yet known. In a leader the London Daily News say: ‘This contradiction was necessary to prevent a most serious degradation of Piedmont in the eyes of freemen all over the world. There is still room to hope that the ministers of the Kiog may yet make up their minds te embrace a wise and independent policy, and not gibbet themselves, as carrying out the behests of a foreign sovereign. ‘The London 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 Emanuel to be conscious of being an instrument of intrigues for ruining a sacred and beloved cause, this is hard to be endured, and it is tyranny to inflict it. If Napoleon III. will not let Central Italy have the Prince Carignan, she may possibly at last bothink her whether she has no man of the Washington s‘amp among her sons, and she may turn her eyes upon Garibaldi. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The London Times devotes considerable space to an article showing the prevatent feeling in france on the question of a war with England. The chief reason for the opinions expressed is an article by a French reviewer published in London, It is stated that in France the project of a war with England fs incessautly discusged in the high places of power, in the public offices, in the army and the navy, among the working classes an ‘men of business. The army is reported to be for war. In the navy the desire for it amounta to a frenzy. The cburch is as eager as either arm: navy. The conclusions are that in a war with England the French Emperor has the power of satisfying army and navy, of gratifying the clergy, of winning over tho ee and of securing the suffrages of a united people. BUILDERS’ STRIKE. ‘The nine hours’ movement in the metropolis is at an end, It is announced that the conference of the building trades, having carefully considered their position, have dctermined to withdraw the strike at Messrs. Trollope’s, in order that they may the more effectually oppose the dectaration and secure the support of the trades of the United Kingdom. DR. SMETHURST. The London 7imes and Daily News state that a writ of habeas corpus was yesterday received by the Governor of Horsemonger lane jail for the removal of the prisoner to the custody of the police, upon the charge of bigamy, and he will be brought up this (Saturday) morning at Southwark Police court on that charge. COMMERCIAL. [From the Daily News, City Article] ‘There is more firmness to-day ia the stock exchange, in consequence of the definitive signature of the treaty of peace at Zurich. The aspirations of the Paris Moniteur for the speedy meeting of Congress also attracted attention, ‘The decline of 45 to 14 per centwhich took place yester- day in consols has accordingly been recavered ; most otner eecurities were likewise strong. The supply of money in commercial channels was rather more hberai, but there are atill exceptional transactions below the bank minimam. There were no bullion transactions at the bank to-day. ‘The foreign exchange thie afternoon experienced 10 alteration worth noticing. {From the London Times’ City Article.] The English funds continue inactive and there has nal- ther been any business of importance nor tho slightest fluctuation throughout the day.

The steamer Bremen, from New York, with English and German mails and advices of 20th, arrived at Cowes this morning, en route for Bremon.
