viii: CONFERENCE.

There is now no doubt of peace. At the close of last week orders were transmitted from the Executive Government to counte- ract the further embarkation of troops for the Crimea, and it is said, on reliable au- thority, that the French Government, like our own, are so convinced oftlie war being over, that they are pursuing a similar course.

u retort which turned the laugh against the member for Bucks, and when Mr. Disraeli grew angry the amusement of the House was increased. The high spirits oftlic aged Premier are quite allowable in the present state of things. The recent accounts from the Crimea show that tho Bi-itisli zii-my there is in at state of perfection as rt--_giirds discipline, health, and thorough military etﬁciency, which contrasts iiiost favorably with that of otir French and Sartliiiiaii allies. As we have advanced, so rapidly towards military pcrfcctioii, they have re- trograded, and the storm of iiidignalion which prevailed in this country twelve months ago, at the hartlships to which our Critnenn heroes were exposed, has given way to felicitations ofthe most pleasant and satisfactory kind. The pending accouch- merit ofthe French Empress comes oppor- tunely, and as with the return of peace we shall have cheaper provisions and more employment for the people. Lord Palmer- ston’s term of oﬂicc seems likely to last, unless new and unheard-of combinations arise, as long as he has physical strength to remain master oftlic situation.

Nothing can show more clearly the paci- ﬁc course of the Conference than the request transmitted to Berlin that Prussia should take part in it. lfcvery thing had not lieoii oing “merry as a marriage bell,” this compliment to the irrcsolute mo-, narch would have been spared. Btit it is a graceful mode of gently snubbing the brotlier-in-laiv of Nicholas, and as the tight
