FOUEIGX NEWS . —The Emperor and Empress of the French returned to Paris on Sunday afternoon , and have taken up their residence at the Tu ileries for the winter . Four foolish brokers at Liverpool have lately taken upon themselves to ask the Emperor Napoleon whether or no it is his Majesty's intention to make war on England . A question of this kind asked by one government of another necessitates a categorical reply , and means that the government which asks the question is prepared to support all the consequences of a hostile or doubtful answer .
But who are Messrs . Shaw , Melloz , Irving , and Blackwell , that they , like the three tailors known to fame , should assume the right to represent the English people ? M . Mocquard , secretary to the Emperor Napoleon , has replied to their letter to the eli ' ect that there are no grounds for alarm on the part of the English as to the Emperor ' s intentions towards England , and that he had not ceased for one moment to show himself her faithful and irreproachable ally . The newspapers throw great and deserved ridicule upon the four Liverpool brokers who fondly
imagined that the Emperor Napoleon would confide to them what his intentions are with respect to England . The Paris Pvcsse also puts the conduct of these gentlemen in its true light , observing that it is obvious that feelings of trust would not have suggested the question , or would have forestalled the reply . The French Minister of Marine has ordered the construction of four floating batteries , and the press has been ordered to say they aro intended for the new Chinese cxpeditiou . The Pays states that Englaud has consented to take part in the
Congress . The Pays also believes itself iu a position to state that the difficulties between Piedmont and Tuscany , on the subject of the regency of M . Buoneompagni , are not yet removed . It is certain that England has agreed to the proposal that the Congress shall bo held in Paris . There is a rumour of a uew imperial law on the press , specially aimed at the correspondents of the English papers ; it is not difficult to predict its entire failure . In connection with tho subject of restrictions ou the pressit is stated that Austria has seut a despatch to Paris requesting
, the French government not to permit the discussion of Hungarian affairs iu the journals—Hungary being an Austrian and not a European question . The Spanish government , there is no doubt , has given garbled accounts of the action of the 30 th , with the Moors , when the latter are said to have lost 500 killed and 1 , 500 wounded . So far from General Echague having been the victor on that occasion , he saw his
men , although superior in numbers , beaten back with a loss of 100 killed and 510 wounded , the general himself being so [ severely wounded that he was obliged to return to Algesiras to have his wounds dressed . It seems it was a fair stand-up hand to hand fight . The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29 th ult ., says— "Private letters from tho Spanish camp in Africa represent the action as more serious and the loss of the Spanish army as much more considerable , than the published account admits . The loss fell chiefly , it is said , on the three battalions
ordered by General Echague to sally from the entrenched position and charge the Moors . These battalions were fearfully cut up in the hand to hand light with the Moors . It is also stated on good authority , that the Spanish army has lost upwards of 600 in killed and wounded , since the commencement of operations . The Nord of Brussels says that England , persisting in opposing the views of Spain in Morocco , has made a claim on Spain , ' ¦ ' with a bitterness unworthy of a great nation , " for payment of the warlike stores furnished to her during the civil war in
the Peninsula . From central Italy we learn that the affair of the delegation of the regency of Central Italy to M . Buoneompagni has been arranged to the satisfaction of all parties and that M .
