London, Sept. 15.

It is generally considered that the events
of the Inst tertnight have made little
change in the political condition on the
Continent, either to lesson or increase the
chances of war. While on the one hand

the press of Germany have assumed a
quieter tone and profess to be more con-
dent of pea

ee, on the other hand it is
known that refused a formal
demand made by Chevaliar Negra, the
Italian Ambassador, for the recal of the
French troops from Rome; and at the
same time Prince Girgenti has brought to
Panis proposals !vom Spain to cement an
alliance with France by sending 30,009
soldiers to Lome, 3 proposition, and
the approaching interview shortly to take
lace at Beyoune between the Emperor
Napoleon and the Queen of Spain, are
looked upon as foreshadowing an alliance,
the object of which is to rid France of the
eare of the Moly Seo in ease she should be
junged into war; so that by this means
France it without any other ally could
pain useful,

Rumors, too. that several fighting regi-
ments have been recalled from Alrica;
that Cen, Lapout bas been sent ona special
inission to Germany ; and that Prussia has
determined to annex the Grand Duchy of
Baden, add to the feeling of distrust in the

rmancnce of the existing peace. This
feeling is faithlully mirrored in Paris by
the depression on the Bourse and subse-
quent declines of rentes, and in diplomatic
circles here the situation is pithily summed
up in these words: "No fear of war
though it nay begin to-morrow.”

bh to be too hasty or anxious: bout the mat-

large a Free Trader as he professes, when
he makes such large reservation, If this
mine of wealth of which he spoke is so
great, and if hereafter it should be found
that the rights of posterity would require
the abrogation of the ‘Treaty, cither coun-
try would haye the power to do so, which
itis probable the British Government would
at the end of twenty yeals. Mr. Green|
seemed to think also, that it was selfish- |
ness on the part of the American peopte |
which was now inducing them to move in
this matter. This I do not think is fair,al-
though it is reasonable to suppose that they

in the matter; yet if they see it would be |
an advantage for them to obtain a renewal
of the Treaty, there is certainly nothing
wrong in their doing so; but the main
question for us to discuss and consider is:
would a renewal of the Treaty, on the
basis of the terms contained in these reso-
lutions, benefit us, and add to the pros-
perity of the country? Ifso, then we ought
not to eare from whom the proposal ema-
nates. It the Fisheries are us valuable as
they are represented to be, vertainly the
number of successful Islanders engaged in
the trade are few and far between; nad it
by granting this privilege to the Americans
it can be shown that it would add to our
prosperity, ought we not to do all we cau
to bring it about?

It is notorious that toavery great extent
during the late civil war, the sympathies oi |
the people in these Provinces and in Cana- |
da were almost wholly with the South—
with those who fought for the perpctustion
of human slavery! and in some places it
was more than sympathy: if was manitest-
ed in acts which, considering the object for
which the South {cught, were not creditable
tous, ‘This awakened a feeling against us,
because it affected most sensibly the feel-
ings of the American nation ; and now that
they have inade a move toward us in a
manner so creditable to that people, it
shows that they are willing to forgive and
forget the past. We know ihe Mciropoli-
tan County of this Islend has taken the
lead in this matter, and made known
the terms which they would agree to
for x renewal of the Treaty, and ahhough
persons entertaining all kinds of views on
the subject metat the meeting in Cl
loitetown, yet scarcely a voice was raised;
againstthem ; and when the delegation from
the United States arrived they were enter:
tained with all the honors which the coua-
try could bestow. No doubt there are mi-
nor points upon which a difference of
opinion may avise, but on the main ques-
tion there seems to be but one opinion, 1
agree with Mr, Green that it is not in our
power to negotiate or conclude a treaty;
that is a power which rests whelly wich ia}
independant pation; but we have the right)
to take the initiative in stating (he terms
upon which we would be willing to have it
renewed, and if Great Britain renews the
treaty, our wishes, i{made properly koown,
will no doubt be respected. 1 ihint, also,
that we might obtain a treaty alihough jhe
other Colonies might not be included. We
know when Confederation was first spoken

‘lof and conlirmed, it was pretty freely as-

serted that all official documents coming
to the Governor of this Island would have
to come through the powers at Oltawe ; but
such has not been the case, they come as
formerly. and we retain all our priviliges
as previously enjoyed; and while oui
Governor is still addr 1s “lis Exeel-
leney,” in the Conteder vovinees their
Governors ave addressed inevely ** Your
lTonor,”

Tf this Colony and the Un
Government can agree upon tering for the
bas » Lthiok it extremely im-
probable that Great Britain will refuse to
sanction them. If she would it would show
that she cares but little forus. Mr. Green
stated also that during the time the Reci-
procity Act was in operation, the price of

ed Siates

since, ‘That statement might misiead some,
but Lask him were the -profits greater?
Mr, Campbell has told us he olfen lost on
shipments to England, but never on any fo
the United States during the continuance
of the Reciprocity Treaty. The quesiion
therefore is, what is the nggiegate of the
profits? ‘here is the difference in time,
distance, freight, and interest on the eapi-
tal invested, which have ail to be corsider-
ed, and when these are all taken into :
count I think the aggregate of the prolits
on shipments to the United Siates was
greater bifore the abrogation of the
Treaty than on shipments to Britain since.
If Mr. Mowatt introduced such a notice on
the order Book as Mr, Green says he did.
he did wrong, because it would be asking
our Goyernment to do what they have no
power to do, but wehaye a right to discuss
the matter; and to-night have met here te
to express our views on the subject. hese
Resolutions will go abroad, and from them
it will be ascertained what we carnestly
desire.

Davin Rocunrs, Esq.: Mr. Chairman, I
did not understand from anything Mr.
Green said that he was wishing to oppose
a renewal of rec Trade, but from the te-
nor of his remarks [ understood him (o be
showing the necessity there was for us en-
deavoring to use our influence to have :
good a bargain made with the Aneri-
cans as we possibly could. After the
American Government had viven notice
that the Treaty would be broken off, a
meeting was held in Chicago, to which
delegates trom this Island and the Provin-
ees were sent, when free utterance to our
views were given. We went ilmost en
our knees and begged the American Goy-
ernment to continue the ‘Treaty, but our
requests were spurned at by the American
people. They now find they made a
mistake, and wish to remedy it.) We have
got along quite as well since the abroga-
tion of the ‘Treaty as wé did before, and
for one I am not disposed to get down up-
on my marrow bones and beg of them to
grant us the privilege of Free Trade, and
thereby kiss the hand that so eauselessly
smote me. We are, and always have
been, perfectly willing to meet them on
fair terms, but I am not disposed to go
and beg at their doors fora favor which
herete‘ore has been of more benefit to
them than it has been to us. I believe
that every possible barrier to Free Trade
should be removed. ‘This is the policy,
too, of the age, with all enlightened peo-
ple, except those of the United States of
America, who in their policy in this res-
peet are behind the age, Itis a well knawn

terances of the Jounyan upon this sub-

jeet have been at once bold and moderate.
Lhey have been the result of a careful
cons stion of the peculiar events lately |

occurring, We have striven nottu jump |

to false conclusions,” and we now have
the satisfaction of knowing that our views
have been those generally adopted by all
prominent writers in the Dominion and
the States. Certain also of our Island
contemporaries who first advocated very
unstatesmanlike theories respecting the
method by which Reciprocity could be
effected, have materially changed their
tone, and in effect acknowledge our les-
son. But at the same time we must di:
tinctly deny the charge of being a mere
echo of other's opinions. Many of our
statements were adduced before the Do-
minion papers had spoken out clearly ;
and because our views have coincided
with the ablest and best informed of the
Island papers, we do not think that
this should prove the ground-work of such
an ill-natured remark as that which ap-
peared in the last Lwaminer. We ure
not the Islanders “jolly boat,” yet we
are a jolly crew, and our articles are jolly
and short. We might as well charge the
Leaniner, because its articles are long
and wearisome and agree With the Herald,
‘long boat of that

pa per.

We defy our contemporary to show
that we have thrown any obstacles in the |
way of Reciprocity. We have always!
advocated Iree ide with the Ameri-|
cans. No one desires it, or anything
else that will bring prosperity to our
sland shores, and bless our farmers and
merchants, more than we. But let us
have it brought about in a straightfor-
ward, honorable manner. We desire no
covert hole-in-the-corner play. Small as
our territory may be, we prefer the large
aud honorable way of doing things. We
believe that Reciprocity will be soon ef-
fected, and we believe also that when
once more properly adjusted on a sound
basis, it will not be so readily tampered |
with by the Americans as it was a few
years ago. Let us make all preparations
therefors and when the Mother Country.
Whose flag the Island does pot yet acatit
¥uuy to leave, bestows the gift, we
trust that a new and brighter era
will dawn upon us. One of the most
promincat features of that era will be the
engrafting upon our people a little of that
energy and goaheadativeness which so
characterises our cousins across the bor-
der, Let us shun their vices, let us
emulate their virtues, and for the purpose
of getting a good look at these. let us hold

days — He had come home last Thursday from
a confirmation tour in the Deanery of St. An-
drews, with an attack of his old complaint,
liver disease, and took his usual aperient pill,
Ile partially recovered; so much so that he
fully intended presiding at the Synod. which
commenced its session yesterday. Subse
quently, symptoms of debility and collapse set
in very rapidly, with great prostration.attend-
ed by frequent wandering, which eventually
terminated in effusion into the brain—a_ ge.
quence of extreme and rapid decrease of the
powers of life. ‘These last symptoms set in on
the evening of Tuesday last, andhe continued
notwithstanding all the efforts of his medical
attendant, to sink till the hour of his death.
*** To the Church of England the loss is ir
reparable, and to the whole country it is very
great, for Bichop Fulford was not an ordinary
