Tiir. Orricui. Diicnsssrioiv es Pssca. —-The lollowing is the oiicisl announce- ment of Peace to Parliament, by the , mier. A member (Mr. French) ha remarked, that it was without precedent t at the war should be concluded, without Her Majesty's Ministers condescending to inform the House of the fact,

“Lord Palmerston replied—The House is perfectly aware from the Gazelle, that yesterday, at 2 o’clock, ii treaty of peace was signed at Paris. [Cheers] The House will have -seen by the announcement in the Gazelle, that it was determined by the Con- gress, that the particular conditions of the treaty should not be made public, until the ratifications had been exchanged. _An that, indeed is the usual course, for it is a matter of obvious deference to the Powers who are parties to the treaty. At the same time, without going into any details of the conditions, the main substance of which is already known to all the world, because it has been embodied in protocols and pub- lished in every country of Europe, I may say, at least, that my conviction is, that that treaty of peace will be deemed satis- factory by this country and by Europe [Cheers] Sir, it will be found, that the objects for which the war was undertaken have been fully accomplished. It will be found that by the stipulations of that treaty the integrity and independence of the Tur- ltish Empire will be secured, as far as human arrangement can effect that purpose. [Cheers.] It will be found that the treaty is honourable to all the powers who are contracting parties to it, and I trust that while on the one hand it has put an end to the war which every friend to liuin:iiiity must naturally have wished to see conclu- ded, on the other hand it will lay the founda- tions of a. peace, which, I trust, so far, at

least, as regards the circumstances out of

wiich the war began, will be lasting and enduring [I-Iear,hear.]

“ Sir, during the negotiations which have led to this peace, I am happy to siiy, that the same cordiality which has prevailed among the Allies in carrying on the war has also mainly contributed to the conclu- sion of peace, and that_ we shall leave in

at the conclusion of this war in a stricter

and closer alliance, with lhem—and in n more extended nlliance——tlian existed dur- irig the continuance of the war ; and that, therefore, the future permanence not only ef good understanding hutof an intimate connection ofthc great Powers of Europe will.,hn.ve cemented and strengthened by

H.-\S'[iAttll’S (

For the present, in Europe, material improvements are the order of the day. Russia and Austria, as well as the rest of Germany, and France, will prosecute

and for the development of their various resources. Industry must be stimulated; but as that is inseparable from mental activity, their fusion will form the corner- stone ofn new social structure. Anstriil has already emancipated her peasantry, and by giving them freeholds, elevated them materially and soehlly. Russia begins to loosen the fetters of serfdom, and even partially to sever them, and, with peace, can in time consummate the work.

.With peace only, can England break

down her aristocratic. barriers; for when the wars with revolutionary France be- gan, reform in England was suspended up to 1830, the measure then carried out being simply that projected by Mr. Burke, more than fifty years before. So, too, with peace alone, can France lessen her military burdens, her centralization, and open the way to her redemption. When the masses of Euglaiid, Friiiice and Ger- many slinll move, ltaly and the smaller States may begin to throw offtlicir chains, and then will come the new international combinations to shape afresh the Euro- pean world.

[understand a nia'ority of the Parishes of the Diocese have availed themselves of their right—and, liiid no notice been ivcn at Char- lottetown, fault might rensona y have been found. But “ Vigil” thinks the Halifax people have made a noble resistance, because (as I take his meaning) they linvo not only not availed themselves of that to which they were entitled, but have endeavoured to ignore the right of judgment and coerce the consciences of t e stipcndiary Curates of St. Paul's—niaking the daily bread of those gentlemen to depend upon their submission to the dictuiii of those whom they were sent to teach. If I were to give an opinion, it would, on the contrary, be that the Curiites have made a noble resistance to such iiiirciisoiinhlo dictation; and as regards the term “ this unhappy Diocese” made use of by “ Vigil,” may it not be it question, with relive- ting men, vrlietlier jeulousies such as his letter seems to suggest, may not be a prolific cause of :our unliappines . ] Iliid any overt act of an op ressivn nature |been had recourse to by the iocesan Synod, gtliore would be good reason both for complaint lend resistance, at, as the matter stands, there
