The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says that, accordis . to French despatches, | the time is rapidiy approaching when the rela-| tions of Great Britain with the United States will be more than difficult. The iast meeting of the commission for the | re-organization of the French ariny which is likely to take place at Compiegne, was held on Tuesday, under the presidency of the Emperor, Napvieon.

This de-! termination has been come to, it is said, in| consequence of the impression produced on the | Kaaperor’s mind by the last Papal allocution. | ‘Phe announcement has occasioned some sur-| prise in Paris, and many persous re gard it as a cunard, althou rh at present no official con- teadictivn of it has ap eared in the Woniteur. One of the French journals has news from Miramar which, if true, is almost heartrend- ing? —* The Empress Charlotte is completely deprived of reason, and in a state of horrible agitation. She tears her garments, vbstinately refuses all nourishment, and fears every human being who approaches her.”’ The Nord says that a report prevailed in Paris that the Queen uf Spain intended to ab- dicate aud take refuge in France, aid that the French Government was concentrating troops on the side uf the Pyreuces, m order to be pre- pared for any insarrectionary or revolutionary movement that mi,ht urise.

The weather was very bad, a drinaling rain with damp snow.— On returning to town in the evening the Prince had only just time to eall at the Anitchkoff Palace, to see his sister-in-law, before startin for Moscow. He is expeeted to be back on Saturday. There is no probability of the fes- tivities being resumed before his return; but as the Prince of Prussia is oblized to leave for Berlin, there will be a select ball at the Winter Palace on Sunday evening, for which not more (than 250 invitations have been issued. After i that it is expected that the fefes will be con- tinued according to the progranine already de cided Gprou. THE POLICY OF COUNT An article in the Siecle illustrates in a strik- ing manner the daring policy of Count Bis- marck in the following remarks upon Den- mark :-- In spite of the precautions with which the King of Denmark is thus surround: | ing himself, he hopes thatthe Treaty of Pra rue will be executed in what relates to the frontier It is an obj et, he Says, tu turn his which he did not cease .'s He even goes sv tar as to place this towards hopes. rectification of frontiers under the protection of the Emperor of the French, whose influence he fully appreciates.

The Marquis de Miratlores, one of the oldest of the Spanish nobility, and formerly President of the Council, next endeavoured to show the Queen the danger of the course she was pursuing, but his influence was equally unavailing. Arrests | continue to be made among the people and is the army. The colonel of the King’s regiment and other officers have been sent off to the | Philippines. The intluence of Gonzales-Bravo | is juereasing every day. Father Claret has con tideuce in him alone, and sister Patrocinio con- siders that he is the man appointed by God to save the church and Spain.’ “In the political and governmental circles of Paris,” says the Independance Belge, *it is expected that the telegraphic wires may bring at any moment the news of a yeneral rising throughout Spain.” The Siecle says: ‘Never has such a state of things existed. Everything is in a paralysis. | Commerce, trade, and agriculture are at the | last gasp, and the severity with which the im- niediate payment of taxes is enforced terrifies the population. In the great centres of busi- ness there remain some sesources, but in ginal! towns there is desolation. ‘The prisons are tull of innoceut citizens. Neither ave nor sex is respected. Tuere is grief in families, dis:rust in the army, and fear everywhere, but greatest in the Government, which is expecting a revo- lution on all sides. M.

Letters from Rome of the 16th state that the cholera there is now very serious. On the 15th there were 100 cases; and in consequence of the panic several foreigners have left the city. ‘ ARRESTS IN SICILY. A Naples letter of the 16th says :—A painful sensation has been created by the arrest of Prince Monteloue, one of the wealthiest of the Sicilian nobility, who for some time has resided im Naples. At the same time orders were given for the arrest of Prince Niscemi and the ishop of Monreale. These, together with the Princes Pipratelli, Rammacea, Galati, San Vicenzo, aud Linguaglossa, the Barons Riso and Sutera, and Dr. Quifrio Debenedetto, ali lie under the imputation of complicity with the late insurrectionary movement. Of those ar rested a few days since in Palermo Monsiznore Beilevia bus been liberated. A HUNGARY.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT NOTE ON THE AFFAIRS OF ROME. The Moniteur du Svir, in its bulictin, alludes to the recent ucts of the Italian Government and the cireular of Baron Ricasuli, and Buys i— “The Florence Cabinet reproduces now the ideas $0 often expressed by the Government of the Emperor, whos: efforts have always tended towaeds recuncilins the national aspirations of the Italian peninsula with its relizious senti- | Merits.

The misunderstanding arose out of the Confederation question. Now, it is reported —and we vive the matter merely as a report— | that since the Confederation question is to be ‘dropped on all sides, to be urged hy nobody, a | reconciliation has taken place, and that Mr. | Palmer goes back into the Government ‘to ) Strengthen the hands of the Conservatives.’ 'There is not a word about Col.

Tne Examiner will be ax warmly devoted to the interests of the Liberals as ever it was, on questions of purely local policy, though, we must say, their treat- ment of us — by a good many of them, at all events — for the last two years, has been any- thing but that which we should gesignate liberal or generous. Our straightforward and independent action on the Tenant League azila- tion — our just and necessary critiques on the Fenian movement, and our plain and un- Examiner a large and generous support in quarters where heretofore it was coldly re- ceived. In fine, it is our determination to pursue an independent course, always, on questions in reference to which we believe we areright, no matter how much we may be frowned on by some of our whilom political bitter words and the withdrawal of their scant patronage. The Liberal Party stands sadly in need of re-organization ; but we believe we shall see no successful efforts in that direction unless a spirit of generous forbearance for differences on one or two questions shall in- fluence the actions of the whole party. Since writing the torezoing short article, another report has reached us, appareutly somewhat more authentic, which informs us that the story about Mr. Palmer’s return to the Government wants confirmation. Well, it is of no great consequence. The remarks which follow the statement of the rumour, and which were suggested by it, are none the less true. aha deepens Ss Mt pes” We mentioned last week the substance of a report, then in circulation, to the effect, that the Hon.

That such was the case, witness the villanous libels upon the Chief Justice—the lenity and wisdom; a man who misht—if ever inan could—iuost truly say of himself: “Tall the progress Beth of mv hfe aud office. i have laboured, Aud with no little study, that my practice, Aud the strong course of my antierity, Might go ove way, aud sately ; and the end Was ever, 0 do well.’ atrocivous slanders escaped the punishnient due to their misereaney, is to be accounted for ouly by the fact, that he, against whom they were directed, r ** As if high-seated on a monnt serene, Above the fogs of Sense and Passion'’s storm Saw all the burst and madness of their hate, Like harmless thunders, breaking at bis feet: They woke his pity—not impaired his peace.” Witness also the vituperation and abuse which they have, iu like manner, and, if pos- sible, with much greater fierceness of malignity, poured forth agamst the Assistant Judze—the | Honble. James Horsfield Peters. The legal attainments of this gentleman are of the hivh est order; and his acumen and powers of dis- | crimination cannot easily be surpassed. They jare such as to enabie him, with singular sue- l elog juence of pleaders, almost invariabiy to disthiuguish vizhttrom wrong; and, unbewildered | by the most conflicting and contradictory testi: | manion, to sift the truth from falsehood. His | judicial decisions have, therefore, been iuva- |miably sustained by facts; and, at the same tine, in perfect accordance withthe law. But it is for this very reason that, as a Jude, he is spirits who have directed the operations of the League. They detest him, because, in just and rigid observance of hizh official duties, he not guly endeavours, to the full extent of his power, to make the iaw the shield and the defence ot the truthful and the just, but also, at the same tume, to render ita terror to evil-doers. Ou such grounds, however, he is quite willing to accept their enmity. Nay, indeed, I believe, ae accounts it the highest honor they can con- fer upon him. And, again, also witness the malignity dis- played by them against the Hon. Edward Whelan,*—the first public man who had the honor to provoke their hostility. In the Examiner, that gentleman plainly and honestly pointed out to them the folly and dishonesty ot their course; and—besides indicating the danger to which their unlawful and seditious proceedings were exposing the common in- terests of the Colony —as their friend, he earnestly warned them of the dist:ess and ruin which persisterfce in their folly aud madness would inevitably bring down upon themselves. But the courageous generosity with which he thus laid himself open to the assaults of the wicked, craity, and desizuing leaders of the League. was neither understood nor regarded by the simple and deluded men of which it was principally composed; and forgetful that, throughout the whole cf his public career, he had been one of their most zealous and faithful friends, and had ever manifested a generous sympathy with the cause of the weak, the sut- fering, and the oppressed—a whole-souled burning indi uation at injustice, meanness, and eruelty, they most unsratefully joined with their malevolent leaders in misrepresenting his motives, in vilifying his character, and in seek- ins todamaze his private interests, by lessenins, tu the full extent of their poweis and influence, the circulation of his paper, the Axuminer. hii the loss to which he was thus subjected, he, however, quickly found a sain. His indenen- dent and patrivtic conduct—as generous as in- dependent,—for he laboured for the good of the tenantry ¢ ven at the cost of their good will —was not without reward. It was fully un- derstood and appreciated by all the traly woud and patriotic men in our community ; and, in their estimation, it raised him inmeasurably above those who, whilst with him they saw the hated and vilified by the evil and seditious | ther conservative or destructive: for the destiny proveke them to a discharze of the most déad- | Houble.

An endeavour, indeed, has lately been made, seemingly to repair the structure, by the ad- dition thereto of a new pillar. The deficieney of polish, the size, and weight of this pillar, however, —all out of place— must either be re- garded as affording complete evidence of lament- ption of the original! design of the edifice, on the part of the suppietory architect; or, otherwise, as witnessing ayainst him a treasonable desigu of hastening the fall of the “nodding structure; for, assurediy, his column, by its poaderosity, loosening and dis turbing the foundations of the others, cannot fail to accelerate the destruction of the whole. It matters not, however, what the intentions of the architect, in the setting up of the new and ponderous column, may have been—whe- of the structure depends nut upon them. Its doom—long since pronounced—is * Ruin;”’ and speedily will it be accomplished.

It bas been anid, that great oceasiona are re- quired to develope great ideas, ae well as to bring If thie be wo, certainly the United States of America has, during the past five yeare, presented a fair and inviting field for the exercise of the moat profound wisdom and astute statesmanship. During thia short period this youthful and vigorous nation has experienced the alternate stages of weaknese and strength in rapid | succession. Having inherited the energy and | enterprise of the most advanced nations of Europe, the United States of America had, for three fourth- of a century, directed ils energies in the practical paths of material progress, rathe? than in the development of the more profound theorigg of go- vernmental wisdew and political foresight.” Theae practical qualities were emiuently usefel and necessary in war, and rendered the late strugg!e moat desperate and decisive. But now that war bas ceased, and delicate and firet time since the original formation of the go- vernment, the eagacity and astuteness of the practical statesman must take the place of the bold and relentless rigour of the warrior; and en- tively different qualities become necessary to the xafety and stability of the state. During these five eventful sears the wealthy and prosperous States lying south of the uational eupital. and producing in abundance some of the most usetul, ‘white these nerih of the capital ef the vation, with dens profiiable, but greater variety of product, howe seubautted to an amount of taxation never beluse by any vation in eo short a of tige. ‘The fact that it is easier ty destroy than to ereate, to cast down than te build up, has been made paintully apparent to the people of thie The League, asyespects united action, and practical adherence to the pledge by which its members were bound, is now certainly dis. rupted and crushed; but their mistaken prin- ciples are not wholly abandoned, and neither are the immediate or sympathetic ties to which their Union gave occasion, so wholly disrezard- ed and disowned as to have left them altogether without power and influence in the land. They are repressed, indeed, but not vet convinced that they were in the wrung. Nay, so far are they from thinking 80, that, on the ecoutrary, they look upon themselves us a most aggrieved and injured body of men. Just and necessary as it was for the maintenance of law and order to call in the aid of the military for their suppres sion, they lock back upon that proceeding of the Government asan act at once unconstitu- tional, unlawful, and arbitrary; and justifiable in every point of view as was the sentence pro- nounced upon three of their members who had, hy their mad resistance to the officers of the Law, rendered themselves amenable to its power to punish, they still loud!y maintain that the pronouneing of that sentence was a most tyrannical and unconstitutional stretch of jus- sense of right and wrong, by which these men have been governed, appear to have subdued their better natures that it has even made them insensible to the suftening intiaences of elem- eney and kindness.
