The statement transmitted to England was, I presume, not intended to meet the eyes of the people generally ; it was got up for the ratification of those who had no intention of paying for what lands they might purchase,—for such as those settlers on the Worrell Estate, who, when pressed by the late Government to pay up the overdue instalments. had held public meetings and passed resolutions to the effect that the Government ought not to call on them to pay their debts, but should tax the men of Queen's and Prince Counties to pay for their farms.

WAR NEWS FROM EUROPE.

Cus news brought by the English Mail, which was reesived

e= =

here on Friday last, is more important than any which has been brought from the otier side of the Atlantic for several months. Fears have been long entertained that the hostile bearing of Austria towards Piedmont, and the ambitious de- signs as well as yast military preparations of the French Emperor, forzboded an early disruption of the peace which has happily prevailed in Europe since the close of the Euro- pean war. Those fears have now settled into the conviction, that war is not only inevitable, but was expected to commence within two or three days after the sailing of the English steamer ; and there is no doubt that ere this the banks of the Ticino have witnessed the beginning of a struggle the most ficree and devastating that has shaken the nationalities of Exrope since the legions of the first Napoleon crimsoned its plains. It will be seen by the telegram given below, taken from the London Times of the 22d April, that about the 20th of that month Austria presented to Piedmont an ultimatum, demanding the disarmament of the forces of the latter power, within three days of the date of the ultimatuin and in case of noo-compliance, stating that war would be declared. That Serdinia could not and would not comply with this peremptory svmmons—no matter how small ber army may be in compari- son with the Austrian force opposed to her—is what everybody in Europe must have expected from the spirit of the Sardinian Kiog, the temper of his people, the deep-rooted hatred of the Italians for their imperious German task-master, and the un- paralleled effrontery of the demand. The object of Austria, ag stated by some of the leading English papers, appears to have been the total annihilation of the Sardinian army before French aid could be obtained; but whether such has really been her object, or whether she has taken any decisive steps towards its accomplishment, are facts that cannot be ascer- tained until another mail from Europe adds to our information on the subject. It was believed that an emphatie protest had been forwarded by the British Government to the Court at Vienna against its arbitrary menace to Sardinia. If this should have had any effect in moderating the demands of | Austria, war might be averted for a short time longer, but matters had been pushed too far to warrant the hope that the pacific counsels of Great Britain would have the desired effect

appeared reasonable and practical, France, Russia, and Prussia had given their adhesion, nor was there any intimation in the Telegram conveying this information which constrained us to believe that the absence of the name of Austria proceeded from any other cause than that she was more deliberate in her action than the other Powers. Close, however, upon the heels of this gree news followed the telegram from Turin, stating that the English proposal for a Congress had been

refused, and that the Austrian General gommanding in|.

Lombardy had been ordered to present an udéimatum demanding immediate disarmament, with the alternative of war after the lapse of three days from the delivery of this w/timatum. The knowledge of less decisive, but consistent, contemporary facts was added. A reinforcement of 80,000 men had been ordered to the Austrian army now on the banks of the 'Tieino. Prussia had mobilized three Corps d’ Armee, consisting of some 70,000 men. Every act notified wasa preparation for immediate war on the part of Austria ; every movement was directed either to aggressive operations upon Sardinia or to the defence of her own German provinces.

Such is now the state of affairs. Austria has 200,000 men either upon the Ticino or within such a distance that they can be placed upon the banks of that frontier river within the three days of grace fixed in the imperative demand of the Austrian General. Sardinia occupies the opposite bank with a force which could not, probably, delay for one day its own destruction by that giganticenemy. It may be that Sardinia can show 70,000 men in arms, including her free corps, gathered from all parts of Italy, and comprehending no small portion of the discontented spirits who have passed their lives in making manifestations of hatred to the foreigner. Of these 70,000, perhape, alter garrisoning her great fortresses, Alessandria and Genoa, she may be able to range 40,000 in line of battle. ‘Three days of respite are all that is given. If. as we read the Telegram, the demand has been already made, next Sunday may see an Austrian army in quick adyance upon Turin. The position of Sardinia is perilous, but it is a position from which she cannot escape by a tame compliance. Even if Victor Emmanuel could accept the ignominy of suceumb- ing to the first pressure of force after putting forth such loud defianee, the men he has called around him would net suffer him toretreat. If Austria and Sardinia are left to themselves we shall hear ina few days of an invasion and a battle. Everything points this out as the natural sequence. The sudden ultimatum and the short reprieve are evidently part of a well-considered military poliey formed by Austria. It is clearly her interest, if she is resolved upon war, or if she feels that she will be compelled to accept war, to crush the Sardinian army before the Freneh can arrive to its assistance. The march from the banks of the Ticino to Turin is through a plain country unprotected by any place of military strength, well known by operations in a recent campaign, and offering every facility for tne advance of a great army. ‘'Phree days would bring the Austrian General to the unprotected city of Turin. There is nothing between the frontier and the capital but the arms and bodies of those 40,000 Sardinian troops, who are so vastly outnumbered by the Austrian hosts. ‘Lo crush that army, to effect by force the disarmament demanded, and to dictate terms at Turin, would be but the effort of a few days, if Sardinia remained unfriended. When we see her in this imminent danger we look round anxiousty to measure how far off are her friends, and wha} may be the chances of timely assistance. We may assume, per , that the passing of the Ticino will be considered by the Ae of the Freneh as a declaration of war by Austria, and that while the Austrians are marching from the East upon Turin the French Emperor will be pouring his ecolamns from the West. and marching through the passes of the Alps to meet the Austrian invaders, and te anticipate, if possible, their arrival at the Sardinian capital. For this purpose we may consider Grenoble or Brianeon as containing the whole force of the French Empire, for the chains of communication by rail are so com- plete that continuous columns might be directed from all parts of France upon those cities. The columns, however, that should take their way by Chambery and Mont Cenis would find themselves 180 miles from Turin when crossing into the Piedmontese territory at the Pont de Beauvoisin. Those which should adyance by way of Embrun and Briancon and over Mont Genevre could find a better road and a shorter distance on the Piedmontese side of the Alps, but would still scarcely hope to win the race against the Austrian troops coming by the plains. Again, help might quickly arrive from Toulon and Marseilles by way of Genoa; Toulon is rich in transports, and a few hours might land a respectable force at Genoa. From Genoa there is a railway to Turin, bat, unfortunately, it winds away far up to the northeast, and an important portion of it would probably be reached and destroyed by the Austrians in their first day’s march. We should not be very confident in trusting the safety of a king- dom to the possibility of uniting before Turin columns which had to penetrate the Alps and to arrive from Genoa, if one condition of the military success of such an operation were that the concentration should be effected in three or four, or even ia five or six days. Perhaps we may count something for the delay which may be reasonably expected to be inter-

In addition to the telegram which contains the news above referred to, we give the leading article from the London Times | of the same date (22nd April), which places the position of | the belligerant powers in the clearest point of view. We beg to return our thanks to Frederick Swabey, Esqr., of the Stock Exchange, London, for having obligingly sent us this paper.

AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT.

We have received the following most important telegram | from Turin :-- :

‘‘Gyulai has been ordered to present an ultimatum for disarmament, and the sending away of volunteers.

“Tf refused, war is to be declared in three days.

‘© Two more divisions of the Austrian army of 80,000 men have been ordered to the Ticino.

“The English proposal for a Congress upon the same condition as that at Laybach has been refused.”

We have reason to believe that the same intelligence has been received by the Government.

A Cabinet Council has Leen summoned.

We have also received the following from our correspondent

at Vienna :— : ‘¢ Vienna, Thursday, Noon.

sed by the Sardinian army either fighting or retreating ; = failing this, or those other chances of war which never can be fully caleulated, the military heads who seem to have conceived this plun of opening the campaign have not failed

in strategic ability. Physically speaking, if the war is to

come, the Power which strikes the first blow and chooses its own field of action will commence with an advantage. Morally speaking, of course, the picture is reversed.

In former times there would be little more to say about this crisis but to await the issue of the inevitable invasion. But the telegraph has altered all things. The same wires which have told us of the demand which General Gyulai has made by direction of his Imperial master has by this time carried to the Court of Vienna the strongest protest of England against

this hasty and haughty menace. ‘The Emperor of the French

is now in possession of those significant words which were spoken by Lord Derby at the termination of his speech. Tennis Ill. has, moreover, heard of the movements that are being made in Germany ; and he cannot but suspect that, when Prussia puts her troops in motion, itis not without some knowledge of the part which Russia is prepared to play in

, the great drama. He can look around, therefore, and see that

his chosen antagonist is likely to be able to devote the whole | +: Ministers.’ ‘he * leading principle of the newly empower

resources of his empire to the contest which he has challenged.

Alluding to the action of the Protestant Manisters on the Bible question, the Monifor makes the foliowing rem wks :—

‘* All they claimed was, that the children of those parents —and those alone, whether Protestant or Catholic—who de- sired it, should be permitted to read a portion of Scripture daily, and be thus instructed in those truths which ‘make wise unto salvation ;’ whilst those who objected to religious training of any kind were to be allowed, unmolested, to con- fine thenysel.es solely to the secular instruction to be im- parted. In ali this we certainly fail to discover any particular hardship, or ens that could possibly be misconstrued into an act of proselytism.’’

Now, any one would suppose, from the tenor of the above extract, that under the late Government— which was so violently assailed by many of the Protestant Ministers—the use of the Bible was prohibited in our common schools, even when the parents of children attending them desired it to be read. But tho very reverse 1s the fact, as will be seen by the following resulution, which was prepared with the concur- rence of the late Liberal Governmeut, and adopted by the Board of Education, more than two years ago, (on the 25th February, 7857), published in yarious forms, and incorporated with the Education Laws, as a guide for schoolmasters. But the very principle of this resolution has been acted upon for very many years, as was shown by the school returns sent into the House of Assembly last Session. In fact, the permissive principle, with respect to the use of the Bible, here publicly recognised under the auspices of the late Government, has been always an element in our educativnal system. The fol- lowing is the resolution :—

‘* That the Board of Education recognize the desirableness of affording, as far as possible, to the scholars in the Public Schools of this Island, the benefit and advantages of a religious and moral,*as well asa literary education; but taking into consideration the extreme difficulty of laying down any gene- ral rules for the Publie Schvols, respecting the mode of con- ducting religious reading or instruction, on account of the diffgrent-religious persuasions prevailing amongst the Inhabit- ants and Teaehers in the yarious Districts of the Island, and fedring that any attempt to do so, instead of proving beneficial and prodacing harmony and good will, would be productive of religious strife and contention, which they consider it to be the duty of a'l to avoid as much as possible —the Board have always deemed it better to leave the management of the Dis- trict Schools in this respect to be adjusted by the respeetive local Trustees thereof, and the parents of the children attend- ing the same ; and the result has been, as appears from returns solos the Board, that in a large sunrber of Schools in this Island religious instruction is imparted tothe children of those parents, both Protestant and Catholic, who desire it, and who thereby, without offence, the onc to ‘he other, andin harmony, enjoy religious freedom.”’

The School Visitor’s Report of the etate of education in our t public schools for the last year—now before the Legislature— shows how satisfactorily this principle has operated. We make the following extract from the Report, in corroboration of our statement that there is mo prohibition with respect tv |the use gf the Bible :—

. ** Reninrovs Ivsrrtcrion.—In several of the Schools which I have visited, the business of tuition commences eyery morning with prayer, and the reading by pupils, in class, of a portion ofthe New Pestament. In such Schools the business of the day is, generally, but not always, also concladed with prayer. Ina few, the teachers read daily to their pupils passages from the Old or New Testament ; and in a few others no furm of prayer is used, cither at the opening or at the closing of School ; and in these neither is the Bible read atal!. Inno School District, however, the School of which I have visited, does the least dissatisfaction exist, so far as 1 have been able to ascertain, either on account of the practice of the offering up of prayers and the reading of the ee in School, of in consequence of the neglect therein of these religious exercises or observ

ances.”’—Exiract from the School Visitor’s Report for 1858.

The Tory Government have been in power for more than a month. ‘They have not taken any action on the Bible ques- tion, nor intimated in the slightest way their intention to take any action upon it. If the late Government had inter- fered with the religious rights of the people, what has the pre- sent Government done to remedy the evil of such interference ? If Protestant Ministers, who went so sturdily to the polls at the late election, had any sincerity in their clamour about the Bible, what have they gained by the change of parties? In the face of the facts and evidence above given, the Monitor—with the help of all the political parsons in te Island, to whose bigotry and toryism it delights to pander—can no longer keep alive the foul deception which has been practised upon the people of this country.

THE NEW YORK ALBION ON P.E.ISLAND AFFAIRS.

We take the following short notice of the political affairs of this Island from the New York Avion of the 23rd ult. Our very excellent and much admired contemporary is slightly astray in stating that our ineorruptible ‘‘ Ministry’’ have no seats in the House of Assembly. There are, indeed, no less than seven ‘* Ministers’ on the floor of the House—the whole number of which is only thirty—and there are only eleven members beside the aferesaid ‘‘ Ministers’? who support the Government, and whose votes, it is very well known, are swayed on eyery party division by the presence of those

of remains to prevent the Session from being prorogued during the present week.

The only debate of any consequence during the week, arcac on several resolutions moved by the Ion. Col. Gray in re- ference to the everlasting Land Question, The deepatehes on this question were taken into consideration on Thursday last, and the Hon. and gallant Colonel made a bold stroke for popularity by offering. several resolutions coneciyed and expressed in true bunkem style. Their purport is, that some immaculate Commirsioner shall be sppointed by the British Government to induce the prop ietors to consent to an abatement of the arrears of rent, because, as ig stated in the resolutions, the proprietors are themselves partly blameable for the accruing of thoge arrears ; and also to get the proprietors to sell their lands to their tenantry at such price as the proprietors may choose to exact— the purchase money to be paid in instalments, and the purchaser to be allowed the usual interest on such payments as-he ma y beenabled tomake. The resolutions, in fact, proposed no ad- vantages to the tenantry better than what they may now. en- joy under any reasonable landlord in this Island. They were met by counter res lutions proposed by Mr. Whelan, but the pliant majority voted them down, and gaye their sweet voices in favor of Col. Gray's bunkum. We shall. publish both the resolut ons and the amendments in our next, with such com- ments as they may seem to require.

POST OFFICE AMENDMENT ACT.

Tue Ilouse of Assembly having passed a Bill to alter the Post Office Act, by which the Government would be author- ised to enforce the prepayment of letter postage, the Legisla- tive Council very properly threw out the Bill on Friday last, and adopted the following resolution explanatory of their views :—

* Resolved, That it is the opinion of this House, that tu enact the prepayment of letters posted by persons in this island, as proposed by an Act which it has had under consi- deration, intituled ‘an Act to amend the Act for the transfer of the management of the InJand Posts within Prince Edward island,’ would have an effect on the poorer part of the popu- lation detrimental to their correspondence both Within and without its preciacts.’’

As regards the external correspondence the necessity of preptyment of a letter would put an end to all correspondence between the poorer inhabitants of the Island and their dis- tant relatives and friends, ‘The circumstances of the latter, fur the most part, admit of the prepayment of postage by them, while it would be extremely inconvenient to their cor- respondents in this Island.

Is this one of the reform measures which our model pater- nal Government proposed to adopt for the benefit of the people? They lately cut down the road appropriations, so that the people should have tess than une pound where they formerly had two, and now they want further to raise the wind by extracting a few shillings from their pockets, in the shape of foreign postage. Excellent Government! Be it re membered that in throwing out this Bill, it is not the first time the Legislative Council has nobly come forward to pro- tect the interests of the people.

Tur Srckues Murper.—Late United States papers inform us that Mr. Senator Sickles has been tried for the murder of his rival, Mr. Philip Barton Key, and acquitted almost im- mediately of the awful crime. The trial occupied twenty days. The circumstances of the tragedy are well known to most of our readers. Sickles accused Key of criminal inter- course with his wife, and discharged several shots into hig body, in cold blood, in one of the principal streets of the capital of the Republic, in the presence of many witnesses ; yet a free and enlightened jury of American citizens assures us that killinga man under such circumstances is no crime!
