QUESTION AND GARIBALDI. &e., &. THE JTAUAN &c., ‘The Vanderbilt steamship Vanderbilt, Captain Lefevre, which left Southampton at eight o’clock in the evening on Wednesday, the 7th inst., arrived off the Highlands at five o'clock Saturday afternoon, and made her dock yes- terday (Sun’ay) about uoon. The Vanderbilt was de- tained outside on account of low water on the bar anda high sea running. 'this is unapproachably the most rapid winter passage ever made. She landed two hundred and eight passengers, tho French and. English mails, and an unusually valuable cargo of merchaudise. Monsicur J, Bello, Minister from Chile to this country, was on board the Vanderbit. The Hambarg screw steamship Borussia, Captain ‘Trautmann, fim Southampton on the 4th inst., arrived 4 this port yesterday morning. The news by these arrivais is three days later than that brought by the America from Queenstown. The London Post says it's decided that the Covgress will assemble at Paris on the 5th /cnuary, The Paris Pays says that England has consented to take part in the Congress. The Paris Patric of the Sth says:— Weare assured that most of the Earopeau Powers ve given in their aduesion to the Congress. The Paris Independance, of the 6th, says:— The adbesions of most of the Powers that will consti- tate the Congress have arrived in Paris; but the appoint. ment, now certain, of Lord Cowley as the first plenipo- teutiary of England, tends to decrease the primitive impor- tance of the profect*d me ting. Its not, says the Inde- pendance, that we want to doubt the merit and the apti- two ot that Foglish diplomatist, but it is to be fearod that it Great Britain does not send either ber Minister of Foreign Afuirs or the Prime Minister, or even Lord Cla rendon, who wes ber representative at the Congress of 1856, the other great Powers, save perhaps Fraace and Austria, wail algo hesitate on'their part, to be represented by their Ministers of Forvign Affaire os first plenipoten- tiaries. This being the cas, the meraher? of the Congress possessing lees anthority will be less free in their actions, and they will feel oftener the necessity of referring to their respective governments before takiag definite re- solutions. The number of French yoluuteers for China exceeded that required very mush. ‘The ame journs!, speaking of the expedition to.Chiva, vemarks:<= A complete twelve-pound battery of Sir W. Armstrong’s ns, carriages, limbers, hospital and ammunition wagons, forges, &c., is ordered to be packed on Thursday next, to be transmitted overland to China. The Powerful has com. menced ghipping two beavy batteries of sixty-eight- pounder guns, with an equipment to form a thorongh siege train, and requisites to subdue the resistance offered to the passage of the Peiho. Forty-five thousand five hundred riflemen had been enrolled in England on the 19th of November. A meeting, attendod by from forty to fifty persons, was lucid at the Freemagoxs’ Tavern, London, for the purpose of organizing a London Irich volunteer rifle corps. In Franco jnsstrustions bave. been givem that quarter- masters and seamen who have completed a period of forty months service on the 3lat December shall be immediately discharged and sent home. The French Qourt retarned to Paris on the Sd instaut, | in the evening, the Emperor enjoying a most cordial re- the credulity extibited by Mr. Roebuck in hi iate decia- ration concerning a prince of the Orleans family:— We should be unable to rnderstand how Mr. Rost could give credit io so absurd a story, if he had not th monopoly of attacks egaiost all the governments that reign or have reigned in France. ‘This very speech, in which be has given proof of his naive reception of every idle 1umor, is 80 offensive towards the present govern ment of France that we refrained from taking notice of it The Paris Constitylionnc, of the 6th inst., has along on the necessity of considerably improving the lock and harbor accommodation at Marseilles, It com- mences in thege terms:— The Mediterrancan, middle ages was the centre of the commerce of the world w regain ite former activity.

All questions of dwpnte between the company and the contractor are Jeft for arbitration. It is stated that an olfer bas been made by Mr. Lever for the purchase of the ship, of the snost Hberal character. The terms are said to be £60,000 down to form a working capital to complete the ship, to charter her for twelve months, pay the sharcholders five per cent in advance and to have the option of purchasing the ship for £330,000; being the amount of the capital of the present company. A Liverpool correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes thus on the 4th inst Nothing definite transpired on Saturday relating to the correspondence between four gentlemen in Liverpool and the Emperor of the French. It is stated, however, that the letter in question was written by the four gentlemen while enjoying the pleasures of a ‘full board” one eve. ning about a fortnight sinc. Nothing serious wa3 dreamed of; the letter was posted, but @ reply was never antici- | pated. A copy was not even kept, and the whole matter was looked upon as a good joke. The conduct of the writers of the fetter to the Emperor was mot by « hearty denunciation by nearly all the local papers. The London Post of the 6th inst. remarks on the letter writer: “ell bim to be ‘d—<c in civil French !”” was the Duke of Wellington’s direction to his secretary when an imper- tinent foreigner asked him an absurd question. Napo- leou’s endorsement on the lotier of the “four Liverpool rchauts”’ was probably the same, though it read3 very ttily in Mf. Mocquard’s neat and antithetical wording. ‘The King of Naples has authorized the laying of a tele- graphic cable between Gacta and Corsica, by means of which Naples will come tate direct communication with Paris. The Paris Pays says that the difficulties between Pied- mont and Tuscany, on the subject of the Regency of M. Rndncompagnt, are not yet removed, ‘The Paris Unicers of the 6th inst., publishes a long arti- cle on the subject of reforms In the Reman States. Tt de: clnres that the very name of Pius IX. is sufficient to show that his Holinees is willing to accord such reforms as can be safely introduced. But the revolutionists, it affirms, want infinitely more—want, in facet, to remove from the Papal rule a considerable portion, if not the whole, of its temporal dominions, and that of course the Pope will firmly oppose. Our contemporary is particularly bitter agninst Count Cavour, whom it accuses of encouraging at all times the hostile parties whieh desire the dismember. ment of the Romen States. Gtoberti, Farini, and. in fact ail who have insisted on Papal reform, are in like maoner spoken against strongly. M.

The Prince and Princess Frederick Witham of Prussia have arrived at Dover en rovte for Brussels, on their 1 « turn to Berlin from London, A Madrid despatch of the 4th of December says: — ‘The loss of the Moors in the attack on the 30th Novem- ber was 600 killed and 1,500 wounded, but no prisoners Since commencing 0 8 against the Moors the Spaniards haye hed 88 killed, 644 wounded snd 73 con tused. Gencrat Zabala has made a reconnaissance agains the Moorish camp at Tetuan. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th ultimo, says:— Private letters from the Spanish camp in Africa repre sept the action of the 25th as more serious, and the loss of the Spanish army as much more considerable than th« published account admits. The loss fell chiefly, it is said on the three battalions ordered by General Echague to sally from the intrenched position‘and charge the Moers. ‘Those battalious were fearfully cut up in the hand ts hand fight with the Moors. It is also stated on good au thority that the jish army has lost upwards of 600 in killed'and wounded since the commencement of opera tions. The dghting on Sierra Bullones is still going ou, and evidences of the combat, in the shape of the putts o° smoke from the discharges of musketry and cannon, could be deseried during the greater part of yesterday from the Rock by the aid of telescopes.

They were landed and for warded to the hospitats of that vity. The Nor’, of Bruse®e, publishes the following pura graph :— We have rious announcement to make on the sub ject of Spain. A letter from Paris informs us that Eng land, persisting to the end in her opposition to the Spanisu expedition to Morocco, has found a pretext for annoying the Cabinet of Madrid. She now claims from Spain, wit a bitterness unwortby of a great nation, the payment for the warlike stores furnished at the period of the civil war in the Peninsula. The Spanish government, calling to mind the affair Bt Greece, Appears to have the intention of yielding, in order to take from Engiand all pretence for acts of violence or fer an intervention which the latter ap pears toseck. Had reasons have never been wanting Ww Evgland for getting up aquarrel, and, notwithstanding the desire of Spain to yield, there is reason to fear zerious complications.

ENGLAND'S POSITION TOWARDS THE EUROPEAN CON- GRESS—NO SPECIAL PLENIPOTENTIARY TO BE SENT TO PARIS. {From the London Times, Nec. 5. We regret to learn wat after a full discussion of the subject by the Cabinet it has been determined that Lord Palmerston shail not attend the Congress as the Plenipo- tentiary of Eoglaod. We had boped tuat the obvious ad. vantages resulting from the Premicr’s ‘presentation of this country would have outweighed the .uconvenience of his absence at an important time. However, the original plan is to be carried out, and Lord Cowley will attend to explain, and, as far as possible, enforce, the views of hie governmnt among the Plenipotentiaries. It need not be said that the reasons which have dissuaded the govern: ment from parting with their chief have refe rence to the very important business which must be transacted on the meeting of Parliament. The Congress assembles nominally on the Sth of January, but practically and for real business no: earlier probably than the 1ith, while Pariiament meets earticr than ustal, namely, on the 34th. Lord Palmerston muat, then, either be absent during the nrlicr purt of the ses sion, or there must be a chawge of plenipotentiaties, which would be worse thaa leaving everything to Lory Cowley from the beginning. ‘* * * * * * * We doubt not, however, that a part of the pudlic wil learn with a kiud of satisfaction that noplenipolentiary is to be “despatched” to Paris, but that Lor ley, being al ready there, merely ai. nds as the representative of’ England, and makes our adhesion to the Congress as little cow spicuous as possible, They will be glad, after all, it comes to this—that Engiaud, merely out of {nternational courtesy, puis in an appearance, and leaves Italian affairs to be settlod by those more immediately concerned. The doctrine of non-interference, they will gay, to be possible must be complete. It is impossible that a country which sets out by saying that in no possi- ble case will tt interfere forcibly im Ltahan «flairs can have the jafnence of those who are always*ready to march an army into the plain of the Po; and, conversely, if Bag: land assumes it 28 necessary to her position that she should have a hand jn reguiating Italian destiny, it is cer- tain that a time will come when she will be tempted to enforce her logic by a movement of the Mediterranean squadron, or, perhaps, the despatch of a few thousand troops. Bat these arguments, though reasonable enough, prove too much. wy bring us to @ conclusion which finds favor with many sensible men, that we should not joimthe Covgress at all. If we have nothing to do with Italy, and if the policy which the na- tion enforced on its government a few months since be the tre one, no Plenipotentiary of England should sit in this Council of European diplutnatists. As they fought without us, and made peace without us, so let them mike up without us the quarrels between pelty despots and their subjects. We ov tn tbat this Is » view which we have been much in- clined to uke, but it has not been a view which our go- | Hons 0 Br PRICE TWO CENTS. send a Plenipotentiary at all, What remains n°~ is to de- termine whether, since we are to be represe eshall be represented efficiently, It certainly see pina that, baying Once made up its mind to take part 1 the affairs o Maly, the Foglish nation ghould send the best man it can fd, and endeavor to make its influence as mnch a8 possible felt, This, we think, Lord Palmerston would have dove, sud, whatever respect we may have for Lord Cow- ley a8 4 diplomatist, it seems to us that he does not pos- feta the weight which an old and tried Foreign Minister of couniry would have in tue councils of men of less age, gevins and experience, Notbing vow remains but to hope that the British Am- barsador will successfully exercise bis temporary Cone: tic to the honor of higown country. aud the profit of the unhappy race which is now strogging inst its op- preesors.

Nor is, it possible to say beforehand with what temper the Plenipotentia- ries of Russia and Prussia will treat the affairs of Italy. These governments, particularly the former, are, of course, adverse to stich displays of poplar independence ag are exhibited at Florence and Bologna, but they are neither or them very partial to Austria, and may, per hape, both be willing 10 show their independence oi France. But all remains as yet uncertain, for expe has taught us that even the views of government changed at the Inst moment, So much the more reason is there that Lord Cowley should be cautious and firm, fail to make his task easier by a clear statement of its principies. AUSTRIAN FEELING TOWARDS ENGLAND IN THE CONGRESS. [Vienna (Dec. 2) correspondence of the London Times.} The Vienna papers have recontly contained some very insipid articles on the foreign policy of England, -and the Ost Deutsche Post to-day forevelis that the British diplo- matisis will be deteated in the approaching Congress, The paper says:— During the Congress of Verona the diplomatisis and publicists of England wk big about the» right of nations to think and choose for themselves. but when the As3em- bly decided. on an intervention in Jtaly ané in Spain, Great Britain entered a protest againet it, and let things take their course. We are of opinion that England will be faithful to her traditions. The Ost-Deutsche Pest may possibly be right, but tbere is an om m1 Ob my mind that the result of the Con- gress will be different from what Austria expects. Eng- land, if Jam righty informed, no ionger insists on the Duckies being united to Sardinia, but is content to leave the matter to the decision. of the inhabitants of those countries, “the Emperor of the Frenen having solemnly promt that they shall not be subjected to any pressure from abroad.” 1 is proposed that Tuseany, Modena, and Parma shall peparately eect a ruler, and that the three countries shall form a Kingdom of Etruria, should their choice fall om he ssme person. Something has been said about temporarily introducing universal sufirage into the Duehies, but this government would net fail vigorously to oppese such adetmocratic scheme. The Wiener Zeitung of this day contains the Treaties which were concluded at Zurich ou the 10th of November. In spite of the change of tone in the French press, it is stili firmly believed here that the Emperor Napoleon means iischief to Evgland. The Vieona Presie thus writes on the subject —- England is undergoing a mihtary organization, because the nation wills it 0. Itie resolved that the steam. fleet all be ax preponderant ‘as the sailing fleet‘, and that rifle corps shall everywhere be raised. The hostile feei- ing which has been raised in the English nation is ex- tremely disagreeable to the Emperor Napoleon; and the more 80, because it cannot ve done away with by diplo- matic wiles. Only a war could interrupt the English armaments, and, not being prepared for a war with Eng- land, Napoleon temporises. All’ ths: notables in the French navy are of opinion that at present a war could with ind with a fair of success.

Of all the provisiors of thoso treaties, of all the impor. ‘ant changes which they record, and changes still more important which they suadow forth, this country has the perfect right to accept just a8 much, aulno more, as may be deemed in complete harmony with its own lite rests and tradition We are concerned with the pre- ambles of the treaties; they constitute for us a sutlicient reason to lend a helping hand in tue work of pacification which'they snnounce; we cordially concw in the necessity of suck ab and, but we remain wholly free and unfettored in our estimates and views of ‘means. We stand towards both France and Austria in a posit not wholly dissimilar to that held in the iirst three months of the present year, with this important difference, | that the moral influence which our position brings is not likely to be frittered away by peevish recrimi- nawuns, or impaired by an ill:concealed impartiality. The pacific settlement of Italy will be aimed at by the | present English Minietry just as it would have been almed | at by the last one, had it at_the commencement of this | year sent Lord Cowley to 2 Congress. But the menus by which thai settlement was to be secured will not be, a3 | heretofore, unmeasured abuse of France, Austria and } Sardinia, each in turn, but the urging su:h a. satisfaction | to Italian interests and wishes as may tend to remove the | lasting causes of discontent, | The approaching Congress will not, if we are corroctiy | informed, be signalized, as was that of Vienna, by the preseace of all the foreign Ministers of the reepective States. Although Prince Gortschakof! will probably rep recent his imperial master, neither Coat Rechberg nor Lord John Russell will deem it necessary to leave their stg at Vienna and London to take part personally in the onferences. ‘Whatever results may flow from the approaching Con- grees, we may rest agsured that the English government UAll never tullify itself by aiding or abetting the restoration oy these anti-national rulers to the power which they have so justly forfeited. The only peace which we can assist in ‘estab‘ishing must be one that, so far, at least, as our in- thence extends, does not contain within itself the germs of future war. The obstacles thrown in the way of the national interests, the outrages constantly committed on the national feelings, have been the cause ot past Italian troubles. Austrian preponderance payea the way for French invasion; both are alike at variauce with Italian interests, Of what will best promote those interests the Italians themscives are the most fitting judges. Their se- curity, their satisfaction, should form the first, second ana third requisites in an Italian settlement. They are. or ut Jeast ought to be, masters in their own house; an it is not for us who stand, s0 to speak, in the s:reet, to prescribe the ‘apgement of the rooms, the width of the stair, the style of the furniture, or the texture of the carpets. Our only concern in the matter is that the foundation and walls be sufficiently strong to ensure the whole building agairt tumbling on the heads of even the sers by, and that the occupant do not establish a ma- nufactory of Roman candies, in which a single spark may at any moment produce an explosion as fatal to others as to bm Whether views practical and simple wili find favor with the majority of the diplomati: .3 soon to meet in Paris, we are of course unable to determine. There can, however, be no dovbt that such views, and sach alone, will find favor in this country, The formation of a strong {aliaa kingdom under the sceptre of a true hearted and patriotic Haan Kng—this object which the Italians of Central and Nortbern Italy ali desire—should likewise be the aim of our diplomatic efforts. We have not thrust ourselves into, nay We have been taunted with keeping too long aloof trom, the settlement ofthis Italian question. Let us all the more clearly prove that in our futare participation, as in our past reserve, we bave no other ends in view than the progress and prosperity of Italy and the lasting peace of Burgye.
