The Congress. Tub Monueur Of Wednosday S...
THE BOMBARDMENT OF TANGIERS . Rumours were received in Paris , on Wednesday , of a renewal of hostilities between France and Morocco , by the . ibombardment of Tangier . The fact appears to be that one of the Morocco , forts fired at a French man-of-war , mistaking it for a Spanish , one . The captain immediately returned the fire , and in less than half an hour destroyed the offending fort . The French admiral immediately demanded explanations from the governor of Tangiers , and told him that if , as lie had reason to believe , the French ship was fired on by mistake , he would not hold the government of Morocco responsible for the conduct of its officer , and that the friendly relations between France and Morocco would continue as heretofore .
The Constitutionnel of Thursday says : —" We have reason to believe that the rumour of the bombardment of Tangier has been singularly exaggerated . The facts have beeu erroneously stated : there was no French squadron engaged , but one frigate only ; no bombardment , but a vigorous act of retaliation for what was cither an insult or a serious misconception of orders on the part of the Moors . The Paysf says - —We are assured that the Governor of Tetuan has ordered the arrest of the commander of the Moorish forts , who , acting without orders , has rendered himself guilty of an unjust aggression aguinst a nation at peace with Morocco .

Position Of Sardinia. The Oftinione Desi...
POSITION OF SARDINIA . The Oftinione designates Cavour as the natural . representative of Piedmont , and consequently of Italy , nt . the Congress . The illustrious statesman , the journal says , withdrew during the deliberations of the treaty of Zurich , which have sanctioned a position of affairs in which he could not be implicated * but now that the horizon is clear , arid that the Congress is about again to discuss the Italian question , who better than Cavour can uphold in the councils of Europe a cause that he first evokud among them ? The-obstacles against ths appointment of the Count as Sardinia ' s first plenipotentiary at tlie Congress cannot come from the minister Katazzi nor from Count Cavour himself , true to his past career . Can those obstacles' proceed from diplomacy ? This question the Opinione reserves for its examination' in a future article . The . Picdi . nontes-j ¦ Government has received no communication intimating the opposition of Austria to the Congress on account of the nomination of M . de Buoncompagni to the Regency of Central Italy . The difficulties made by Tuscany to the delegation of the Rt _\ L > ene 3 to M . de Buoncompagni have not yet been settled . Mons . de Desambrois will leave for Paris in the first days of December . In consequence of the conclusion of peace at Zurich the diplomatic relations between Austria and Piedmont , which have been interrupted for the last three years , -will be immediately re-established by the mutual nomination of official representatives having the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary .

'GARIBALDI . The Corrlere Mercantile publishes the following proclamation , issued by General Garibaldi on his arrival at Genoa : — - " To my Com i ' ax ions in Akms in Ckntual Italv . " Lot not my temporary absence cool your ardour for the holy cause that we defend . ' ? In separating myself from you , whom 1 love a $ the representatives of a sublime idea—the idea of Italian deliverance—I am excited and sad ; but consolation comes in the certainty that I shall very soon be among you again , to aid you in finishing the work so gloriously begun . >
ness of his rights ; and , by the blessing of God , the oppressor will never sleep soundly . . * ' Italians , I say again , Do not lay down your arms ; rally more closely than ever to your chiefs , and maintain the strictest discipline . Fellowcitizens , let not a man In Italy omit to contribute his mite to the national subscription ; let not one fail to clean his gun , so as to be ready—perhaps tomorrow—to obtain by force that which to-day they hesitate to grant to ourjust rights . "Genoa , November 23 . " Garibaldi . " In a letter to the Podesta of Milan , General Garibaldi says : — "If I have left a post which I could not any longer fill with dignity , I do not on that account separate myself from the cause -which is the worship aud religion of my whole life . Moreover , not having any military occupations at present on my hands , I may devote my time to promoting and propagating more than ever a measure which has met with universal sympathy . " A letter from Genoa say s : — " I think that there will be more than one royal personage in Europe who will not turn a deaf ear to the stern and terrible proclamation of the Italian general . The future conduct of the great patriot will teach them that these noble words are not mere boasting . If diplomacy is not disposed to leave the Italian people to themselves , there will be great bloodshed , and the Peninsula will remain in a chronic state of rebellion . It is for Europe to choose . " The Nizzardo of Nice states that a large number of English residents in that place made a demonstration in honour of . Garibaldi , going to his house in twenty-three carriages , with an address numerously signed .
" For you , as for me , the greatest of all possible misfortunes would bo not to be present wherever Micro is fighting fur Italy . Young men who have sworn to be faithful to Italy and to tho chief who will lead you to victory , lay not down your arms ; remain firm at your " post , continue your exorcises , persevere in the soldier ' s discipline . " Tine truce will not last long ; old diplomacy seoms but little disposed to seo things as thoy really aro . Diplomacy still looks upon you as tlio handful of malcontents which she has boon accustomed to despise . Sho doos not know tliat in you there aro tho elements of n groat nation , and that in your free and independent hearts there germinate the seeds of a world-wide revolution , if our rights shall not bo recognised , and if people will not allow us to bo masters in our . own homo ,

Spain And Moroccothree Encounters Have A...
SPAIN AND MOROCCOThree encounters have already taken place between the Spaniards and the Moors . The first was not attended by any very severe casualty , as only one man of the Spanish army was hurt . In the second combat the casualties were greater , as seven Spaniards were killed , and about thirty wounded . The ¦ third battle is reported rather vaguely in the Madrid telegram of the 27 th . . 4 , 000 Moors had attacked the position of General Eehague in front of Ceuta . " They retired , " says the despatch , " leaving the field of battle strewn . with dead . Our ( the Spanish ) loss was more considerable than in the previous affairs . " Whether " the field strewn with ressions usual
dead " be one of those figurative exp on such occasions it is hard to say . If it be taken in its literal sense , the casualties ought to be certainly more than seven killed and thirty wounded , as the Spaniards enjoy no immunity from powder and shot . Private accounts from Madrid of the 27 th . state that General O Donne , U has demanded 1 . 2 , 000 soldiers more , in order to complete the 50 , 000 , with which force he purposes to take the field . The latest telegram from Madrid says that a sharp engagement took place on the 25 th instant between the Spanish troops and the enemy . The losses of the Moors were heavy , and on the Spanish side the casualties -were 80 dead and 400 wounded .
Reform At Rome.—Letters Received Here Fr...
Reform at Rome . —Letters received here from Homo confirm the rumour that Cardinal Antonelli will represent the Pope at the Congress . —The Official Journal of Rome , of the 24 th inst ,, says : — " Certain journals exaggerate the reforms which a , rc to come into operation .

CHINA . Auvicus from Hong Kong are to October 13 . Tho China Herald eays : — " Since tho despatch of last homo mail nothing has occurred of importance affecting our relationship with tho Chinesu . Thoro has been no inoro rioting at Shanghai . Admiral Hope , who , has now entirely rocovoroil from the wounds ho rocoived at Taku , is at presont in this harbour on board tho Chesapeake . So also is tho French Admiral Pagot , of Tahitean renown , who has coino out to relieve Admiral Rigault do Genouilly , who lias suHerod much from sickness during tho latter part of his stay in tho Easts . It is expected that Admiral Puget will commence a now system of policy in Cochin China , aud not attempt to make movements unlo . is thoy promise to bo moro cflbctual than those hitherto made . On tho 10 th September thore was another combat botwoon tho French and tho Cochin Chinese , in which both sides aro aald to
have suffered greatly . Some efforts have been made to induce Sir -Hercules Robinson to remove Mr . Tar-rant , ¦ the editor of the late Friend of China , from the criminal side of the gaol into the building appropriated for debtors , but hitherto without success , as we understand that his excellency considers himself entitled to remit , but not to modify , the sentence , and is not disposed to regard Mr . Tarrant ' s serious and unproved libels against Colonei Caine with that leniency which , those do whose sense of propriety in these matters has been somewhat dulled by the extraordinary quantity of libels which have been freely published in Hong Kong within the last few years .

JAPAN : RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY . Fkom Japan -we learn that matters remain on a very unsatisfactory footing , and the Government throws all sorts of obstacles in " tho way of a friendly settlement according to treaty . The murder of a Russian officer and sailor has brought about the dismissal of the Governor of Kanagawa , and it is stated that General Mouravieff , the Governor-General of Siberia , who was present with twelve ships of war , has taken advantage of the opportunity to obtain the lower portion of the island of Saghalien for the Russian crown . We cannot vouch , however , for the correctness of this report .
This Panic In Virginia.. The Last Americ...
THIS PANIC IN VIRGINIA .. The last American letters say that . the excitement consequent upon the Harper ' s Ferry business continues unabated . Tlie militia is constantly under arms , and the smallest unusual occurrences sends them by forced marches to any part of the state . There have been several cases of incendiarism within the last ' few weeks , mostly of corn or hay in farmyards , and of course suspicion falls on the « ' ¦ -villanous abolitionists . " A hayrick was set on fire on Friday last , near Harper ' s Ferry , and the result was that nearly 2 , 000 men and a couple of batteries of field artillery was sent in hot haste to the spot , in full expectation of finding a large force of abolitionists ready to receive them . The pres in the meantime continues in violent denunciation of the North , and never allows a day to pass without a laboured exaggeration of tlie extent and doings of " the plot . " Foremost in this alarmist craze is the Richmond Enquirer , a paper edited by the son of the governor , Mr . Wise , and of course the organ of the executive . Nothing- could exceed the frenzy of its appeals to the passions of the pro-slavery mob , and the boldness of tlio colours in which it paints the horrors and dangers of the actual crisis . It is to its manifestoes , unquestionably , that a good deal of the prevalent panic is due , and the object of its labours is now generally acknowledged to be the nomination of Governor Wise himself as a candidate for the Presidency at the approaching Charleston , convention . With this view , the South and its institutions are represented to be the objects of avowed assaults and bloody conspiracies on the part of the Northreu anti-slavery men . Virginia has been selected as the first point of attack , and Virginia is ready to meet the first shock of the encounter . For this she needs a man of nerve , decision , and energy , at the head of affairs , and such a man she has got . Who he is it is needless to mention . The- inference is obvious . What can the whole South do better than put this man m the post of honour and of danger in the coming struggle ? '
