THE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST, 26, 1868.
“TUE SITUATION IN EUROPE!
‘The New’ Yark Jierald, always vivid in imagination, thas
speculates And udvisés upon the affairs of Europe. The
Herald soara aloft most ambitiously :—
“Tt can scarcely fail to be a cause of gratitude to many
that Lord Stanley and the Marquis Moustier are agreefl, and
in their opinion the future tranquility of Europe is secured.
The circumstances are noteworthy that simultaneously with
this announcement we learn that the fire which has been
smouldering so long in Spain threatens to burst forth in a«
general and terrific conflagration, and that an arrest has
been made in Hun which may prove fruitful of results
along the tine of anube,
It is only ten days ago since, looking at the general situ-
ation in Europe, we gave it as our opinion that if Napoleon
would march Iiis armies across the and permanent-
ly annex Spain and*Portugal to French Empire he
would, by one stroke, accomplish the best thing possible for
France and the best thing possible for the Iberian peninsula
in the cireqmstances. “We did not conceal from ourselves
the fact that a stroke which would not be so bold in itself
and which would greatly enlarge the territory and so
mightily’ inerease the power of France would be almost
in to create feelings of jealousy on the part of the
gteat.Powers. ‘France, her population: increased . by. some
twenty-one millions and her territory extended over the
rwhest part of Europe, would be a. dangeraus rival to. all
her neighbors. England, Prussia, Austria, Russia, might
again tremble for their independence and by another Holy
Alliance proceed to rectify boundaries and adjust the bal-
ance of power in Europe. In such a case it would be diffi-
cult for France to maintain ber position. Europe combined,
especially if backed up by Great Britain, has always been
too much for her; Napoleonism might be forever ruin-
ed, and the pride of France permanently humbled by an-
other allied occupation of Paris,
Itis not, however, by any means certain that events
would takesuch a turns ‘They might, and they might not,
and the ‘presumption is rather in favor of the negative.
The occupation of the Iberian peninsula by the armies of
France would unquestionably, in the first instance at least,
beget jealousy, would certainly call forthloud and general
remonstrance; but it is questionable whether even so bold
a step would call into existence another anti- French-coali-
tion in Europe. The Europe of to-day fs a very different
Europe of that of 1812, of 1814 or of 1815, It has diffor-
ent interests; it pursues a different policy; it is governed
by different principles; the dynasties are weaker; the
people are stronger, Governments, in a word, are more
isolated and more concerned about national than internation-
al interests. In such acase as we have supposed’ Great
Britain would, perhaps, be the most dangerous enemy with
which Napoleon would have.td contend, It would not be
ible for him to defend his vast extent of seaboard if
attacked by the iron-clads of England. It would be the
leas easy if attacked by Prussia on the north. Would it
not be possible however to buy the consont of England by
allowing her to take entire possession of Egypt, Suez canal
and all? ‘To give up her hold on Egypt would be an im-
mense sacrifice to France. To have Egypt entirely under
her control would be an immense gain to England, — Eng-
land, in truth, as Mr. Disraeli some time ago with his ac-
customed pungency remarked. is no longer a European, but
an Asiatic Power, The British Isles are but the head-quar-
ters—the seat of government The empire is elsewhere—
in India in Austratia, ia Africa, in Canada, in the West
Indies and in all sorts of out of the way places under
every sun. Her North American and her West Indian pos-
seasions are but of little value to her and promise to be-
come of less, Of all her possessions India is that which
she most prizes and which she would ‘east willingly let go.
To hold India she needs Egypt.. Besides, with Egypt. en-
tirely under her control she might make Africa her own,
out of those regions, made illustrious by Livingstone and
Raker, by Speke and Grant, and. forever associated with
the immortal exploits of Navier, it might be impossible to
create a granderthan even. her Indian Empire. Let Na-
poleon make the British Government the offer of Egypt,
and it will be more than surprising if a European coalition
against him is not rendered impossible. Prussia would be
easily satisfied. Bismark has but to be permitted and en-
couraged to complete German unity Germany to unite
and under Prussi n Supremacy would be an ample com-
pensation for any loss which Prussia might he supposed to
sustain by the aggrandizement of France. Inisuch a ease
it would be necessary to allow Austria to extend her Em-
pire to the shores of the Black sea and make herself mis-
tress of the mouths of the Danube. But to this neither
France nor Prussia could object. ‘Turkey is too weak to
offer any effective oppositien, and Russia is too much en-
grossed with weighty matters in the East to attend to such
trifles in the West.
The course seems to de clear to Napoleon.
portunity, but courage, which is wanted.
hearing Spanish misery. What Spain needs is a strong and
paternal government. Napoleon can give the peninsula
precisely what the psninsula wants. Let him annex it at
once. It may be our duty at no distant day to imitate hie
example. Tlis success may encourage us to confer upon the
Spaniards and Portuguese of the New World what he will
have conferred upon the Spaniards and Portuguese of the
Old—the blessings of geod government.
The New York Jerald, referring to the late sudden
filuetuations of the gold market, says :—
**Gold will continue to tend upward for several ren-
sons. In the first place, about seven hundred millions of
our national securities are held in Europe, and large a-
mounts of these are liable to be returned to us at any
time, while the interest on the whole has to be remitted
in coin, and in this way we are drained of our specie.
Tn the next place, our national extravagance ecauves onr
foreign imports to largely exceed our exports In valne,
and the difference between them that is not liquidated by
shipments of five-twenties has to be remitted in coin.
and in this wav we are still further drained of our specie,
Tn-the third place, the wretched mismanagement of the
‘Treasury and the miserably mistaken and short-sighted
policy of Congress have left the Treasury poor, and Tt
has only abont forty-five millions of coin In its. vanits
that it. can cal! its own. It is, therefore, Mr. McCulloch
now says, unable to sell any of its coin because its sur-
plus i¢ so low and the November and January interests
will aggregate so large n sum as to reduce the balance in
hand to a much smaller amount than has been hitherto
held by the department at any one time. No wonder,
therefore, that men bay gold so confidently when they
know that we have shipped from this port alone, sixty-
three millions since the Ist of January, and that the a-
mount remaining in the country is mach smaller than at
any time since the commencement of the rebellion, But
for these very reasons excessive speculation in gold should
be discouraged, and the exaggerated pictures of the fa-
ture condition of the country corrected as far as possible.
We want, stability in the standard of values, and the
fluctuations of the last few days in go'd are clearly oppos-
ed. to the interests of the commanity.
It is not op-

A friend, residing in the Western portion of the
Province, Writing to us, says :—': The Grace the Arch-
bishop left here a few days ago. after having spent sev-
eral weeks amongst his epritual children of this Weat-
ern portion of his Archidocese, His Grace's visit to
those parts was no holiday trip, no summer recreation ;
the weeks spent down hore were weeke of onrelenting.

aftor day he apent long hours in the Confessional; and
averaged from three to four hours in public daily in-
structions. The Confirmations were very numerous, in
some of the French miseions amounting to over three
hundred, Large numbers also approached the Holy
Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist.
Tt was generally remarked that His Grace was able
to endure more fatizne, and perform more miseionary
labour than any of hia priests, ‘There is every reason
to believe that the benefieral effect of his ministrations
will be long feltin those parts. That he may bo spared
for many years to continue his Apostolic labours is the
earnest praver of those in whose behalf he excercised
them.'— Hr. Express.
Broop Money.—By latest quotations, it would appear
that this 18 on the rise. Some eighteen hundred years
ago “ thirty pieces of silver ” was the correct thing ; and
to-day. ae we see by an exchange, the man Ste. Marie,
who volunteered to swear away the life of his comrade,
Surratt, has received no less than $10,000 for the job
from the United States Government. ‘This Ste. Marie.
who, to the disgrace of our country. is a Canadian by
hirth, eailed for Kurope. there to enjoy his hard earned
wages; whilst Judas, poor fellow, bought a halter and
hanged himself off band. It mast be admitted that the
“blood money" business is every way more profitable
to-dav, than it was in the time of our old acquaintance,

sed the revenue. It was intimated, however, that gov-
ernment, was negotiating for the parchase of their ter-
ritory, in order to make acession ta Canada, and the
ground was taken that it should not be sold for less than
was valued by the American Congress.

in view. It is the purchase, for a naval station, of an
island in the East Indies, rich, fertile and beadtiful, in-

will place the United States upon am equal footing with
any European Power in the eastern seas. |

“TUE SITUATION IN EUROPE!
‘The New’ Yark Jierald, always vivid in imagination, thas
speculates And udvisés upon the affairs of Europe. The
Herald soara aloft most ambitiously :—
“Tt can scarcely fail to be a cause of gratitude to many
that Lord Stanley and the Marquis Moustier are agreefl, and
in their opinion the future tranquility of Europe is secured.
The circumstances are noteworthy that simultaneously with
this announcement we learn that the fire which has been
smouldering so long in Spain threatens to burst forth in a«
general and terrific conflagration, and that an arrest has
been made in Hun which may prove fruitful of results
along the tine of anube,
It is only ten days ago since, looking at the general situ-
ation in Europe, we gave it as our opinion that if Napoleon
would march Iiis armies across the and permanent-
ly annex Spain and*Portugal to French Empire he
would, by one stroke, accomplish the best thing possible for
France and the best thing possible for the Iberian peninsula
in the cireqmstances. “We did not conceal from ourselves
the fact that a stroke which would not be so bold in itself
and which would greatly enlarge the territory and so
mightily’ inerease the power of France would be almost
in to create feelings of jealousy on the part of the
gteat.Powers. ‘France, her population: increased . by. some
twenty-one millions and her territory extended over the
rwhest part of Europe, would be a. dangeraus rival to. all
her neighbors. England, Prussia, Austria, Russia, might
again tremble for their independence and by another Holy
Alliance proceed to rectify boundaries and adjust the bal-
ance of power in Europe. In such a case it would be diffi-
cult for France to maintain ber position. Europe combined,
especially if backed up by Great Britain, has always been
too much for her; Napoleonism might be forever ruin-
ed, and the pride of France permanently humbled by an-
other allied occupation of Paris,
Itis not, however, by any means certain that events
would takesuch a turns ‘They might, and they might not,
and the ‘presumption is rather in favor of the negative.
The occupation of the Iberian peninsula by the armies of
France would unquestionably, in the first instance at least,
beget jealousy, would certainly call forthloud and general
remonstrance; but it is questionable whether even so bold
a step would call into existence another anti- French-coali-
tion in Europe. The Europe of to-day fs a very different
Europe of that of 1812, of 1814 or of 1815, It has diffor-
ent interests; it pursues a different policy; it is governed
by different principles; the dynasties are weaker; the
people are stronger, Governments, in a word, are more
isolated and more concerned about national than internation-
al interests. In such acase as we have supposed’ Great
Britain would, perhaps, be the most dangerous enemy with
which Napoleon would have.td contend, It would not be
ible for him to defend his vast extent of seaboard if
attacked by the iron-clads of England. It would be the
leas easy if attacked by Prussia on the north. Would it
not be possible however to buy the consont of England by
allowing her to take entire possession of Egypt, Suez canal
and all? ‘To give up her hold on Egypt would be an im-
mense sacrifice to France. To have Egypt entirely under
her control would be an immense gain to England, — Eng-
land, in truth, as Mr. Disraeli some time ago with his ac-
customed pungency remarked. is no longer a European, but
an Asiatic Power, The British Isles are but the head-quar-
ters—the seat of government The empire is elsewhere—
in India in Austratia, ia Africa, in Canada, in the West
Indies and in all sorts of out of the way places under
every sun. Her North American and her West Indian pos-
seasions are but of little value to her and promise to be-
come of less, Of all her possessions India is that which
she most prizes and which she would ‘east willingly let go.
To hold India she needs Egypt.. Besides, with Egypt. en-
tirely under her control she might make Africa her own,
out of those regions, made illustrious by Livingstone and
Raker, by Speke and Grant, and. forever associated with
the immortal exploits of Navier, it might be impossible to
create a granderthan even. her Indian Empire. Let Na-
poleon make the British Government the offer of Egypt,
and it will be more than surprising if a European coalition
against him is not rendered impossible. Prussia would be
easily satisfied. Bismark has but to be permitted and en-
couraged to complete German unity Germany to unite
and under Prussi n Supremacy would be an ample com-
pensation for any loss which Prussia might he supposed to
sustain by the aggrandizement of France. Inisuch a ease
it would be necessary to allow Austria to extend her Em-
pire to the shores of the Black sea and make herself mis-
tress of the mouths of the Danube. But to this neither
France nor Prussia could object. ‘Turkey is too weak to
offer any effective oppositien, and Russia is too much en-
grossed with weighty matters in the East to attend to such
trifles in the West.
The course seems to de clear to Napoleon.
portunity, but courage, which is wanted.
hearing Spanish misery. What Spain needs is a strong and
paternal government. Napoleon can give the peninsula
precisely what the psninsula wants. Let him annex it at
once. It may be our duty at no distant day to imitate hie
example. Tlis success may encourage us to confer upon the
Spaniards and Portuguese of the New World what he will
have conferred upon the Spaniards and Portuguese of the
Old—the blessings of geod government.
The New York Jerald, referring to the late sudden
filuetuations of the gold market, says :—
**Gold will continue to tend upward for several ren-
sons. In the first place, about seven hundred millions of
our national securities are held in Europe, and large a-
mounts of these are liable to be returned to us at any
time, while the interest on the whole has to be remitted
in coin, and in this way we are drained of our specie.
Tn the next place, our national extravagance ecauves onr
foreign imports to largely exceed our exports In valne,
and the difference between them that is not liquidated by
shipments of five-twenties has to be remitted in coin.
and in this wav we are still further drained of our specie,
Tn-the third place, the wretched mismanagement of the
‘Treasury and the miserably mistaken and short-sighted
policy of Congress have left the Treasury poor, and Tt
has only abont forty-five millions of coin In its. vanits
that it. can cal! its own. It is, therefore, Mr. McCulloch
now says, unable to sell any of its coin because its sur-
plus i¢ so low and the November and January interests
will aggregate so large n sum as to reduce the balance in
hand to a much smaller amount than has been hitherto
held by the department at any one time. No wonder,
therefore, that men bay gold so confidently when they
know that we have shipped from this port alone, sixty-
three millions since the Ist of January, and that the a-
mount remaining in the country is mach smaller than at
any time since the commencement of the rebellion, But
for these very reasons excessive speculation in gold should
be discouraged, and the exaggerated pictures of the fa-
ture condition of the country corrected as far as possible.
We want, stability in the standard of values, and the
fluctuations of the last few days in go'd are clearly oppos-
ed. to the interests of the commanity.
It is not op-

A friend, residing in the Western portion of the
Province, Writing to us, says :—': The Grace the Arch-
bishop left here a few days ago. after having spent sev-
eral weeks amongst his epritual children of this Weat-
ern portion of his Archidocese, His Grace's visit to
those parts was no holiday trip, no summer recreation ;
the weeks spent down hore were weeke of onrelenting.

aftor day he apent long hours in the Confessional; and
averaged from three to four hours in public daily in-
structions. The Confirmations were very numerous, in
some of the French miseions amounting to over three
hundred, Large numbers also approached the Holy
Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist.
Tt was generally remarked that His Grace was able
to endure more fatizne, and perform more miseionary
labour than any of hia priests, ‘There is every reason
to believe that the benefieral effect of his ministrations
will be long feltin those parts. That he may bo spared
for many years to continue his Apostolic labours is the
earnest praver of those in whose behalf he excercised
them.'— Hr. Express.
Broop Money.—By latest quotations, it would appear
that this 18 on the rise. Some eighteen hundred years
ago “ thirty pieces of silver ” was the correct thing ; and
to-day. ae we see by an exchange, the man Ste. Marie,
who volunteered to swear away the life of his comrade,
Surratt, has received no less than $10,000 for the job
from the United States Government. ‘This Ste. Marie.
who, to the disgrace of our country. is a Canadian by
hirth, eailed for Kurope. there to enjoy his hard earned
wages; whilst Judas, poor fellow, bought a halter and
hanged himself off band. It mast be admitted that the
“blood money" business is every way more profitable
to-dav, than it was in the time of our old acquaintance,
Iscariot. — True Witness.

A correspondent of the Halifax Citizen, writing from
Sydney, C, B., speake of a ead affair which occurred
there on Sunday the 16th inst. A man named William
regovery,
once had not some pailors been attracted to the spot,

ran away, and some time after his dead Wody was found

In the month of July the Hudson Bay Compas
which controls more than a third of this continent, held
its annual meeting in London, and the Directors report-
ed that the dividend would be but three per cent, in
place of four and three-fourthe, the av
ears preceding. 1 was stated that the fur trade held
ts own, bat several losses had occurred whieh depres-
sed the revenue. It was intimated, however, that gov-
ernment, was negotiating for the parchase of their ter-
ritory, in order to make acession ta Canada, and the
ground was taken that it should not be sold for less than
was valued by the American Congress.

According to the New York Herald, Seerctary Sew-
ard 18 reported to have another real estate speculation
in view. It is the purchase, for a naval station, of an
island in the East Indies, rich, fertile and beadtiful, in-
hadited by a few Malays, and which, the Herald thinks,
will place the United States upon am equal footing with
any European Power in the eastern seas. |

Messrs. Tilton & McFarland:
Gentlemen—This certifies that T have used ono of
your safes for the last namber of years, and in the
great fire of Jaly 4th, had the misfert une to have it
severely tested. I was situated iu the second story of
brick block corner of Cross and Middle Streets, and it
fellinto the cellar with other combustibles, and lay
burning antil Jaly 1Lth, at which time it was thought
lebg any to open it. But on doing so, it was found so
10t inside that blaze instantly showed itself, which
being at once smothering, and kept so until the heat
escaped from the inside. The contents were taken out
in good order, so much that the books, papers and
money were all perfectly legible and admitted of being
handled without danger of falling to pieces, Some of
the books may have to be rebound. I have given your
agent an order for anohter safe of same size, and my
confidence is so great in your safe that I should recom-
mend them as being the best fire proof of any make of
| safe in our great fire.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —Move precious than
Gold.—Diarahea, dysentery, and cholera are, through
the summer's heat, carrying off the young ag the win-
ter’s cold destroys the aged. In the most acute cases,
| where internal medicines cannot be retained, the great-
est relief will immediately result from rubbing Hollo-
way's soothing Ointment over the abdomen. The fric-
tion should be frequent and brisk, to insure the penctra-
tion of a large portion of the Unguent. This Viutment
calms the excited peristaltic action,and soothes the pain.
Both vomiting and griping yield to it; where fruits or
vegatables have originated the malady, it is proper to
remove all andigested matter from the bowels by a
moderate dose of Holloway’s Pills before using the
Ointment. *
