The Week.

if it have taken place , it is the direct result of imperial . interferencethat the Emperor of tho French requested Victor Emmanuel to dismiss tho gallant general , who went to Turin , and placed his resignation in the hands of the king . For the last few days the attacks against England have ceased in the Paris newspapers , and the Consiitutionncl confirms tho report of the Palrie , with regard to the prosecution of the Ami , for publishing tho pscudo letter from the King of Sardinia to the Emperor of the French ; it also confirms the statement which appeared iu the

. I ' alric—namely , that the Ami de la Iteligion would be prosecuted for publishing the letter alleged to be from the K ing of Sardinia to the Emperor of tho French , relative to the regency of Prince de Carignan . The Conslituiionncl , in an article signed by its chief editor , At . Grandguillot , contains the important news that the declarations of the Cabinet of Turin on the subject of the regency of Buoncompagni are of a nature to make those arrangements possible which have generally boon considered as very difficult of execution . It is understood that if AI .

"Buoncompagni exorcises the regency it is only for the maintenance of order in Central Italy . Italian interests are iu harmony with European interests , iu order to reserve for the congress the definitive regulation of the situation of the Italian Peninsula . General Alartimproy is expected from Africa , on his way to Paris . His last proclamation , dated Ouchda , 10 th inst ., announces that tho inhabitants of that place had been compelled to pay a ransom in order to avoid tho chastisements they had brought upon themselves btheir behaviour . The Cadi had been

y arrested and brought to Tangier ' s . The military chest of tho contingent was respected as belonging to the Emperor of Morocco ; with this state Franco continues to maintain peaceful relations . A corps of observation will remain on the frontiers . The proclamation concludes by stating that illness had reduced tho effective of the French expeditionary corps by one fifth , but the soldiers , nevertheless , display moral force , and admirable aud unaltered discipline . That the great powers of Europe will be formallinvited to take an active part in the settlement of Italian

y affairs is now settled ; and , although no direct communication has been addressed to Her Majesty ' s government , Count Persiguy has been instructed to arrange with Lord John Russell the basis on which the congress is to bo summoned . It is said that the formal invitation will come from France aud Austria simultaneously . The Momteur announces that

tho plenipotentiaries of France , Austria , and Sardinia , have exchanged at Zurich the ratifications of the treaties of the 10 th of . November . The letters of invitation to tho congress will bo sent out from Paris . Prince do Aletternich will , it is believed , send out those of Austria . Victor Emmanuel has refused to yield to the French emperor in tho matter of the regency of M . Buoncompagni ; and in consequence the emperor has been obliged to give way . It is certain that Austria , through tho medium of Prince Aletternich , has protested against the

nomination of a regent by Piedmont , as such a regency would be contrary to the conditions of the treaties of peace signed at Zurich . It is absurdly said in Paris that England has made representations to tho Sardinian government against the regency of Prince de Carignan , and of AI . Buoncompagni . Meanwhile General Garibaldi has tendered his resignation to the King of Sardinia , aud be is not to return again to Central Italy . At Bologna a manifestation has been attempted on tho announcement of Girabaldi's resignation ; the number of persons assembled was small ,

and they were immediately dispersed . On the first symptoms of a manifestation the National Guard placed themselves spontaneously under arms . Since that occurrence the 2 nd regiment of the Bolognese brigade has taken the oath to the King of Sardinia , and received its colours . The uniform of the brigade is the same as that of thePicdmontese army . A deputation from Tuscany , consisting of Signer Egalcotti , Signor Coppi , and Signor Febrizzi , sent by the Baron Ricasoli , President of the National Assembly , to protest against the regency of M . Buoncompagni , arrived in Turin last week ; the deputation was not received by the King , but Prince dc Carignan received them in private audience . Their

scruples , whatever they were , have since been removed , and Buoncompagni has entered upon his important charge . The official Dresden Journal publishes a summary of the vote given by tho representative of Saxony in the sitting of the Federal Commission , in which the question of the constitution of Electoral Hesse was brought forward . Tho same journal announces that the governments of Bavaria , Saxony , AVurtemberg , Electoral Hesse , Hesse Darmstadt , Schwerin , Nassau , Saxe Afcinengcnand Saxe Altenburgwill take part in tho conferences

, , at Wiirzburg . The Minister Baron von Buest will pass through Frankfort on his way to AVurzburg . This journal also confirms the intelligence that the conferences of tho ministers about to take place at AVurzburg , are to take into consideration several questions of federal policy . Austria and Prussia have received official intimation of the above . From Spain we learn that General Echague continues to fortify Ceuta . The embarkation of the first Spanish corps d ' armee has commenced

has been completed , and that of tho second , but the bad weather renders the shipment of war material difficult . The organizatiou of the battalions in tho Basque provinces is proceeding actively . Tho DagbUuht announces that a council of Danish ministers was held this week , at which it was resolved that tho president to the cabinet shall tender to tho king the resignation of the wdiole ministry . AI . Gottwitt lias been summoned by the king . The I'ersia arrived ou Saturday at Liverpool with New York dates to the 9 th hist . The Harper Ferry trials were still attracting considerable attention , aud several fresh parties implicated had been arrested . It was stated by one of the counsel in court that a number of important facts connected with the conspiracy

wero as yet unknown to tho public , which when brought forward would lead to several prominent northern abolitionists being brought to the bar of justice . It is ascertained that the Governor of Virginia has no power to pardon a man convicted of treason without the consent of the state legislature . Partial returns of elections in New York indicate the triumph of the Republicans . The same results have probably been attained in New Jersey , Afassaehusetts , AViseonsin , and Illinois . Louisiana has gone for the Democrats . San Juan was reported to be ]

ierfectly quiet when the San Francisco mail left . The battle at Brownsville , between Mexican bandits and Texan inhabitants , resulted in the defeat of the latter . A company of volunteers was about to leave Now Orleans to assist the Texans . GENERAL HOME NEWS . —Cabinet councils have again been frequently held this week , and on Tuesday a deputation of members of the House of Commons and the various Chambers of Commerce , waited on Lord Palmerstouto call attention to tho unsatisfactory state of the law of
