FOEEIGN INTELLIGENCE . —There can be no doubt that King Victor Emmanuel is willing to send representatives to the congress which the Emperor Napoleon is seeking to convoke ; and the semi-official Correspondencia of Madrid announces that the ' Spanish government has resolved to be represented . in the congress . Consequently , two states—to which Denmark and Sweden may probably be added—will certainl y take part in the

proposed congress . It is said that the Austrian and Prussian Cabinets will endeavour to take a course in accordance with the policy which may be adopted hy the English Government , and will require explanations as to the subjects to be submitted for the congress's discussion , and as to tho effect to be given to its decisions . As for Russia , the Emperor Alexander ' s consent

appears to be expected by a few persons in Paris . It is supposed that England will demand explanations as to tbe precise purposes and powers of the proposed congress . . It appears , from the diplomatic correspondence communicated on Saturday to the French Senate and Legislative Body , that in September last the Federal Envoy in Paris denied that the

Washington Cabinet intended to " protest " against the French Intervention in Mexico , and also affirmed that no Russo-Ainerican Alliance had been concluded . In reply , M . Drouyn de Lhuys assured him that the Emperor Napoleon had not recognised the Southern Confederacy , had made no treaty for a cession of Texas and Luisiana to France , and had no desire to

acquire any territory in America . -The official journal of St . Petersburgb has at length published the Emperor Alexander's acceptance of the Grand Duke Constantine's resignation of tho Polish Vicet-oyalty , tendered because the Grand Duke is " convinced by the continual increase of the insurrection in Poland of the incompatibility between the condition of affairs in that country and the feelings of goodwill for its pacification , which

induced the Emperor to entrust him with carrying into operation the institutions which had been decreed . " Some alarm was occasioned on Saturday by the announcement that the King of Denmark had been seized , on the previous day , with serious illness during his visit to Gluckshurg . A bulletin issued on Saturday stated that his Majesty was

suffering from erysipelas in the face , attended with fever and slight delirium , but that having obtained a little sleep he was bettor . This gave some hopes of the King ' s recovery , but , alas , only to he too speedily dissipated , for the malady increased so rapidly that his Majesty sank under it , and departed this life at halfpa ' st two on Sunday afternoon . The Princess of Wales ' s

father , Prince Christian , was , on Monday , proclaimed King of Denmark , under the title of Christian IX . The new King appeared on the balcony of the palace of Christiansborg , and was greeted by an immense crowd of his new subjects , who gave loud cheers for Denmark and Schleswig , the new constitution for the whole monarchy , the new Danish constitution , ancl Hall Ministry .

The municipality of Copenhagen has presented to the new King an address , expressing confidence in the present Danish ministry , and declaring that'the liberty and independence of Denmark " can be secured Only by the King signing the constitution voted hy the Rigsraad . " In reply , Christian IX . assured his new subjects that , " as a constitutional Sovereign , he must be

strongly influenced by the views of the Rigsraad and by public opinion . " AVllatever the German Diet may resolve , the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha will , it seems , do his utmost to provoke an immediate war between Germany ancl Denmark . The dncal governments as we are informed b y a telegram from Gotha , has " recognised the Prince of Augustenburg as Duke of Schleswi g

and Holstein , " in consequence of the death of King Frederic VII . of Denmark . "Any other pretension to the succession of the Duchies" will , it is added , be met by the Saxe Coburg

Cabinet with a proposal to the German Diet to " protect the right of the legitimate Prince by force in case of need . " The King of Italy held a review on Tuesday , at Naples , of twelve legions of the national guard of the city , and nine battalions from the province of Terra di Lavoro . The spectacle is described as magnificent . The King then left for Leghorn , and will stay a few days in Tuscany . The Italian Parliament has

resumed its sittings . As yet , however , the Chamber of Deputies has been but thinly attended , many of the members not having arrived from the provinces . Notices were given of questions having relation to Foreign politics and to some topics of domestic interest . By a telegram from Madrid we learn that the insurrection in San Domingo is spreading , and that

reinforcements of troops continued to leave for Havannah and Porto Rico . AJIEEICA . —The Damascus arrived at Londonderry from Quebec , has brought New York telegrams to the 7 th inst . The latest accounts from Charleston represented that a furious bombardment was progressing , and that Fort Sumter had been

occupied by a Federal regiment . These accounts were brought to Philadelphia by a steamer from Charleston ; but they were not official , and were regarded with some distrust at New York . Uneasiness was felt in New York respecting the state of affairs at Chattanooga . The Federals had repelled an attack of the Confederates at Colliersville , on the Memphis and Charleston Railway , ancl had captured General Geary and his staff . The Confederates had likewise sustained a repulse at Pine's Bluff , in Arkansas ; and General Price was said to have retreated

beyond the Red River . The Washington Cabinet was supposed to be urging General Meade to attack General Lee ' s army , which was reported to have been reduced to 30 , 000 men by drafts to strengthen the Confederate forces in the Southwest . The reports of the conspiracy in Ohio had—as we are now told , and no doubt with truth—been " much exaggerated . "

The legislature of Maryland had protested against military interference with the elections in that state ; and at Baltimore , were three of the five administration candidates had been returned , most of the citizens had refrained from voting . Secretary Seward , in a speech which he had made , had " anticipated the early submission of the insurgents , " which could alone give

peace . He coolly added that ' there was no state which had not been made stronger , and no citizen that had not been made richer , by the war . " CHINA , & C . —The Calcutta , China , and Australian mails bring little intelligence of importance . From Japan we hear that no active hostilities have been carried on since the bombardment

of Kagosima . The news from China is principally of a commercial character . At Hankow the Portuguese are not allowed to trade on the Yang-tze pending the ratification of the treaty . From Ningpoo it is reported that the Anglo-Chinese contingent will probably proceed to the attack of Chapoo . At Swatow a typhonng has caused considerable damage to the shipping . In

Australia one of the principal topics was the necessary preparation for the reinforcement of troops for New Zealand , aud in political matters some parliamentary difficulties aud discussions were engaging attention ; while a decided opposition to the home scheme of transportation was being manifested .
