We clip the following summary of the news from pa- pers received, whic are to the 2u inst. . The Morning Post says:— mission of the delvgates from Upper and Lower Canada, New Brunswick aud Nova Seotia, we pave Teagon to know, bas ween in every respect successful : not only bave they arranged mivor difficulties an! differences among themselves, bat in the resvlutions re- cently presented to the Colonial Secretary, special pro- vision bas been made for enabling the Colonies of Teioce Rdwar! tsland, the North-west Territory, auc British Columbia to enter tae Confederation on equitable terms bere. fier, Iy is understood that an important decision concermng re-organizaiion of the Austrian army bas just bees, adopted ly the Government.

It is urged by some of the Paris writers for the Lon- don press that the propoved inerease of the Frenelk army and navy is not made with any aggressive disposi tion on the part of the Geserumeut; bet, on. the con- trary, that it iv merely @ preparation against a war which may probably be thrust upon France, It is said to be the opinion of political France that the British Cabinet is in extremis; either it must bring in a Reform Bill dnd dose all its old supporters, or de- cline to do's0, and go-inta the Opposition lobby. “Some of the sém'-official journals of Paris affirin positively that no French lodn is in contemplation; but it is reported that some financial measures of a bold and, sweeping ehatacier will be introduced. Another report concerning King Victor Emmanuel has gained curtency in Paris. This time the rumor i of the assassination of his Majeaty, but that he bas fallen into a dangerous state of illcess from congestion of the brain. The report is not coutirmed, and ite truthfallness is suspected. It 1s, however, well known that His Majesty has had two attacks of a similar na- tare, and his medical uyen are said to be very anxious lest he sliould saffer a recurrence of the malady. ‘The long list of reform demonstrations made since Tories dnd Adullamites unwisely rejected the moderate ort of the late Government, is being rapidly ex- tended, now that Parliainent is on the eve of meeting. Newceastle-on-Tyne was on Monday the scene of one of thas gatherings, and from the fact that 20,000 persons Senet & procession to the plave where the platform was erected, and that no fewer than fifty-four speeches, all by working men, were delivered, we gather that New- eastle-on-Tyne has declared for an. extension of the ro ghd quite as emphatically as any other large town 4 iy “The ‘Memorial Diplomatique” asserts that the Ew- press of Mexico was able to peruse with considerable pleasore her husband's last letters from Mexico, tn whieh he informed her of hie having convoked a nation- al congress to decide by universal soffrage on the fate! rion of the former wil! increase: attention to those #ani-|satistied state of the public mind oa many general of theempry. (“The Empress is said to have discussed the subject with perfect calmness, to bave expressed her satisfaction at the measure, and even to have acquieseed in the necessity of remaining away from Mexico till it was determined whether the Emperor Maximilian was to remain at bis post.or to abdicate. Aceording to reliable information, the Morning Post bas reason to believe that the long-pending differences iw Han, and the Court of Vienna have been satisfactorily adjasted. A reparate Hungarian Ministry has been concetled, and the nomination of its members is almost complete. The new ministers will enter apon their functions as soon as the Reichsrath Extraordinary ig assembled, and it will then depend on the wisdom and moderation of that body and the Diet for Hungary to make the understanding arrived at complete. The Globe says that ‘ the Italian Government bas come to the resolution to abstain from intervention of any kind in the affairs of the East, and to cultivate friendly relations with Turkey as well as Austria. The whole policy of covert agitation agaist Turkey, pur- sded by the Court ef Athens, has derived encourage- oyent from the hope that the Italians, in the event of matters coming to a crisis, would take part on their side. The resolution now taken by Baron Ricasoli and his Government nut put an end to such hopes, as well as prevent, so far as the Government can, anv farther assistance to the insurgents on the part of the Italians.”|ing, a8 is alleged, to~acts of outrage and violence, has|drama, The proposal in the Italian budget for the liquidation of the Church property is just now eugaging much at- tention in Florence, and opinions are widely divided — it. The valae of the property is estimated at 1 million lire, Inatead of taking it all, selling it, and giving salaries aud pensions to the clergy, the Go- ‘vernment is to receive 60,000,000 lire, in balf-yearly instalments of 60,000,000 lire each, and the Chureb will retain the rest ou condition that it shall convert its es- fates into Italian stock’. and shall provide for all the ex- of public worship. By the adoption of such a measure, the Government will secure a large sum of monry flowing into its coffers for six years to come, and the State, it is said, will avoid the odium of despoiling the Church. How far the Papal Government will con- sent to such a measure, ie at present unknown, bat it is stated in Florence that the Holy See will agree to the arrangement if that course is necessary in order to pre- vent a greater ovil, Mr. Gladstone has been feted almost to surfeit in Paris, where for several days be was an object. of im- snente curiosity, At the funeral of Victor Cousin he was a Conspicuous object of aitraction; and his devo- tional demeanor during the requiem iu the beantiful and exquisitely restored eburch ot St. Stephen of the Mount wlio contains the body and shrive of st.
