    ^ T HE last manifesto of the Emperor Napoleon , published through the medium of M . Grandguillot in the columns of the Constitutionnel , as far as it is comprehensible , seems to confirm the previous promises of its imperial author with regard to non-intervention in the settlement of the affairs of the Italian provinces . The Emperor declares that the results which are patent to the world , arise from his far-seeing policy ; that the treaty of Zurich is only the " consummation of his views from the first , " and that having become convinced long ago that "to govern is to foresee , " he did perceive all that must necessarily take place , and " therefore it is that , he was able to direct

    events , instead of allowing them to get the start of him . " To the Italians and their former rulers this language must be equally ambiguous , since it does not express any opinion , on one side or the other , and the future proceedings of the liberator .- of Italy are little more manifest to our gaze than before the appearance of this remarkable specimen of special pleading .

    The accounts which we receive from Italy of the description given by the deputations of their reception by . Louis Napoleon are more satisfactory than we were led to anticipate would be the case . To those from Parma and Modena the Emperor exintimated that the return of their former Austrian rulers was not to take place ; and to the Tuscans he only suggested the restoration of the exiled prince . All were assured that no armed intervention is contemplated on his part , or will be permitted from Austria . To the Tuscans He declared himself as not yet sufficiently freed from th <» conditions of Villa Franca—possibly he expects to Tl » o so at a future period , when , if wisdom and honour

    prevail in his councils , he - will give suoh a decided support to the , ' national cause in Italy as the Italians have a right to expect from his former magnificent promises . The feeling in the Peninsula appears to ' be , that he is to be trusted as a friend ; and already unfavourable remarks begin to be made upon tho sluggishness which Victor Emmanuel's ministers evince in bringing matters to a climax . Upon the question of a congress , in which these knotty points arc to be arranged , we havo contradictory reports—the Constitutionnel hinting that England objects to taking any part in it ; while from other sources wo are led to believe that our Government is disposed to enter into a congress , being convinced that the influence of Russia and Prussia will be thrown

    into tho scale in favour of Italian unity and independence . Tho Constitutionnel adds another important utteranoe , to the ofibot that " Franco " haa no wish to establish a protectorate over Italy . Tho dispute between Spain and Moroaco has at length reached a hei g ht ^ whioh seems to foreshadow immediate hostilities , and the news of the departure of Marshal O'Donnoll for the Moorish ooftst , at the head of a well-appointed mid

    numerous force , may be looked for daily . The pretext for this invasion is a most flimsy one , and evir dently intended merely as a means to the end of acquiring a large share Of territory on the southern shore of the Mediterranean . The Government of Morocco has done its best to avert hostilities by making one concession after another to the Spanish demands , until the unreasonable requirements of the latter Power left no other resource than an appeal to arms . The Spanish Government , indeed , does not think it necessary any longer to carry on the farce of parading fancied injuries on the part of the African State ; and there appears

    good ground for suspecting a coyert understanding between Louis JSfapoleon and O'Donriell , which may render the latter somewhat careless as to the * general opinion of Europe . A French general at the head of a powerful force is about to invade Morocco from the French African territory ; and five steam frigates full of troops have sailed from Toulon to aid in obtaining satisfaction for the ravages committed by . some barbarous tribes who , when it suits them , call themselves subjects of the Emperor of Morocco . It is said that the result of this joint expedition , if successful , will be the occupation of a large portion of the Moorish coast by Spain , opposite Gibraltar , which will give her the virtual

    productive of the most fearful consequences matter of the most serious moment , and to meacrre intelligence which we have received wil cause us fo look with anxiety for the nex transatlantic maU . At Harper ' s Ferry , in Penn sylvania , a body of negroes , 700 in number , hay . revolted , and seized upon the state arsenal the

    destroyed the electric telegraphs , and torn _ up railroads—probably with scarcely any -definite objects save those of plunder and l-evenge for reaJ or fancied injuries . The federal troops are marching upon the seat of the insurrection , and doubtless the sternest measures will be resorted to for the restoration of order ; the accomplishment of which will be earnestly prayed for by aU who recollect the atrocities which former similar

    risings have given birth to . , -, . i Among the topics of home news , the threatened contest for the Chancellorship of the University of Edinburgh is prominent ; the two candidates being the Duke of Buccleuch and the venerable Henry Brougham . Whatever may be the local influence of the former there can be no doubt that the opinion of men of letters in the sister kingdom , as well as in England , is strongly in favour of Lord Brougham , who is the most distinguished living alwmius of the institution—to say nothing ot the lustre which his wonderful abilities and great pvr » lnit , s must confer upon any body of winch

    command of the Straits ; and it is added that it well becomes Great Britain to look to this matter , since such an advantage , though nominally in the hands of Spain , would actually be at the service of France , and would go far to realise the cherished dream of each succeeding French monarch to make a " French lake" of the Mediterranean sea . The evidence , too , which this combined expedition affords , of the rapid growth of French influence is not a little remarkable , and the enermous power which may one day be wielded by tho Sovereign who rules France and -controls Spain and Italy , may well claim to be deeply pondered by neighbouring statesmen . of this week contains

    he becomes the head . The citizens of Edinburgh have shown their opinion of the matter by the banquet which a crowded . assemblage attended to do honour to the aged p hilosopher . I he speecu which Lord Brougham - delivered upon that occasion showed that increasing years have not , with him at least , their usual tendency to foster prejudice or to restrain enthusiasm . He spoke ot modern politics at home , and congratulated his brother Scotchmen upon their freedom from electoral corruption ; he touched upon Italian matters , and in eloaueut lan « ruase expressed his sympathy

    The foreign intelligence other matter of interest and of importance . From Germany we have the news of the interview IjctwoQnthe Emperor of Russia and the Regent of Prussia , ostensibly a mere visit of one relation to another ; also it is not a little significant that upon this ground the presence of the Austrian monarch was declined . In , the latter Sovereign ' s dominions -we hear of change 3 in the ministry , occasioned by difference of opiniou in the Cabinet—the claims of the populous and prosperous Hungary to constitutional government being recognised by some of the dissentient ministers , and ignored by others as unreasonable and outrageous . Tho Sultan having reluctantly condemned to death four of tho chiefs ot * the Into

    with the King and the people of that rising nation ; the foibles of the French for glory and of the English for gain were depicted with a masterly touch ; and a patriotic warning w given to tho J »««» people and their rulers to bo prepared against an contingencies that may arise from foreign ^ iti ° n . The storms of winter have this year been inaugurated by one of the most terrible tragedes that . l island hav
