By the arrival of the Ka Persia att ort yesterday, we were put in pos session of European tiles to the Lith instant, con- taining very late despatches from the seat of war in Italy. Continued success attended the Allied army. On the &th instant Marshal Baraguay d'Hil- liers, of the French army, attacked the Aus- trians entrenched at Melegnano, a small town on the high road from Milan to Lodi, and drove them out, taking the place with little loss. Marshal MeMahon’s report of the passage of the Ticino and surprise and route of the Austrians at Magenta is given, with other French, Austrian and Sardinian reports of that very brilliant feat of arms. Napoleon was still’ in Milan, and Prince Napo leon had entered Florence, where he was received with almost regal pomp. Lord Derby's government had been defeated by ®@ majority of thirteen in the Commons on the “want of confidence” motion on the address in re- ply to the Queen’s speech. It was thought that Lord Derby would resign office oa the 11th inst, and that Word Palmerston would be called in by the Queen. Both the French and Sardinian governments have declared coal not contraband of war. Consels closed firm in London on the 10th inst. at 93g a 94 for money and account.

BO me Cutting tn Between Wis Trom cur Richmoud correspondence, in anoth- (pert of this poper, our demorratic readers will pereaive thet, their State election being over, the feud between the Wise and Tuater cliques of the Ok} Dominion has been reopened with cousidera- tle uncon on both sides, ‘The two factions, having saved the State by a junction against the common enemy, have, in other words, resumed | the more im ortant squabble amoag themselves | urowh Wis suce out of the rival pretensiovs of Governor cantor Hunter for the Presideatial sion, As the issue now stuads between them, we incline to the opiaion that Munter has ry udroitly cut ia between Wise aud Douglas, | touching the point of national availability at the hasleston Convention, Goversor Wise, who, for the last six months or more, through bis central organ, the Rich- moud Enquirer, bas been very clamorous tor @ tlave code for the Territories, or Congressional wtervention for the protection of slavery against quatter sovereignty, now retreats to the simple declaration that it is the duty of Congress to in- terveue in bebalt of slavery “whenever in any of the Territories the safety of slave persons, or the rigbt of siave property, is unconstitutionally as- sailed.’ The original idea of a slave code is here pared down to a Virgivia abstraction, but it still retains the essential oil of Congressional inter- vention. But how stands Senator Huuter, whose cautioa as a statesman bas always beeo not less remarkable than the rashuess of Governor Wise? | Mi. Huster falls back upon the Dred Scott de- ersion, a8 affording sufficient security for the Sourh in the Territories ; aod be is in favor of avoiding any direct issue upon the subject, which will cut off the Northern democracy, The ditference thus presented between the pre- sent views on this slavery question of Wise and those of Hunter way appear to be only the ditfer- chee * betwixt tweedledum and tweediedee,” aud yet while tbe position of Wise is bad, that of Hun- teris decidedly good. Wise insists, at all events, upon the the recoguition of the duty of Congress to protect slavery in the Territories—a recog- nition which capuot be forced upon the Douglas | democracy of the North, Hunter, on the osher hand, agrees to disagree upon the subject, and to say Bothing more about it, which is practical non-intervention, and brings him within reach of tbe Northern maguetism of squatter sovereigaty. Considering, too, the heavy majority which the Northern States will command in the Charleston Convention, and the existing imperative party necestity of a retreat from the extreme pro- slavery demands of the Southern party leaders, it becomes muuitest that, as a national candidate, Senstor Hunter, bolding the ground of neutrality between Wise and Douglas, will. be very apt to joom up in the Convention, like King Saul among the sons ef Israel, a head and shoulders above them all. The whole character and all the antecedents of Hunter are equally strong in his favor. He is a calm, cautious, consistent statesman, univer- sully recognized as a faithful champion of Southern rights, and equally well kaown asa toan who has eaid nothing and done nothing The British war ship Heron was lost lately off the Coast of Africa, and about one hundred and Captain Hunter, we have advices from Bermuda to the 15th inst. There was no local news of impor- tance. The potato crop was over. The yield had not been as good as anticipated, and farmers were mouch discouraged at the low prices obtained in New York. By an arrival at this port we have news from Haytito the 5th inst. The health of the country was good, and tranquillity prevailed. A movement was on foot to extend the term of oilice and enlarge the powers of the President. The public journals were discussing with much zeal the propriety of fending a Minister to the United States. We publish in another column a letter from our correspondent at Buenos Ayres, written on the 30th of April, which details the latest movements there with regard to the anticipated war between Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confederation. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, and adopted a resolution appropriating the sum of $250 to employ James T. Brady as counsel to give his opinion as to whether the Tax Commis- Bioners have been legally appointed. The Select Committee on the subject were directed to report what expenses the City Hall Commission appoint- ed last year have incurred. The closing argument in the Hillsburgh and Chauncey libel case was heard yesterday, before Justice Welsh, at the City Hall Police Court. A Gecision will be rendered on Monday next at three o'clock. The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday after- boon in the Rotunda. The fortnightly requisitions were read and sanctioned by the Board. A com- munication was received from the Warden of Ran- dall’s Island, complaining of the manner in which the meat contractor neglects to supply the institu- tions there, aud mentioning that eighty-six pounds of meat had to be purchased a few days ago. The subject was referred to a committee. A communi- cation from the Warden of the Peuite forming the Board of the ¢-cape of a Gallaher, who had been se.t up on April for a year, was read and filed. Pp n of $100 for the boys on Randall's enable them to celebrate the Fourth of July, was made, A communication from Captain Moore, of Company B of the Eighth regiment, asking per- Diission to visit the institutions, was received and the request de An appropriation of #900 was Made for the erection of a storehouse on Randall's Island. Governor Smith offered a resolution in- witing N. P. Banks, Governor of Massac husetts, Who is expected to pass through the city in a few Gays, to visit the institutions, and appointi committee to wait upon him nud the Board adjourned. There a tin ! for Sou the institutions, and fifty-eight more than th ‘were last week. A very spirited race was trotted over the Union | Course yesterday. The horses Lady Woodrugy | George N.

A | graphic description of the race is givenin another column, The licensed venders held a me ing to take into consideration the fous griev. ances to which they are subjected. We give a re- port of their proceedings in another part of to- dlay’s paper. The cotton market was quiet yesterday, and no sales of BLy mcment were reported.

During the great contest of 1856 a conservative Northern speech or two of his contributed onary eas wane nano en ee thrown out by such hot-headed Southern agk tators as Wise, Keitt and Toombs. Hunter, therefore, from his antecedents, as well as from bis present position, is eminently qualified to be the peacemaker among the democracy at Charles- ton, In fact, we carinot imagine how the Douglas squatter sovereignty democracy of the North and the Congressional intervention democracy of the South are to be amalgamated at Charleston, ex- cept upon Hunter’s platform of a broad and | generous neutrality. Let it be declared in the Charleston platform that the people of each Territory shall “be left pertectly free to regulate their domestic institu- tions in their own way,” and the South will fly off at a tangent and set up a ticket for them- selves. Let it be declared that it is the right and duty of Congress to override the local regu- Jations of the squatters of a Territory where they conflict with the interests of slaveholders, and the Northern democracy will cut loose from their | Soutbern brethren. Thus tbe Convention, upon | either Wise or Douglas, will be split into two parties by the line of Mason and Dixon; but upon Hunter's programme of neutrality the two wings of thearmy may be made to fight as har- moniourly os upon their different interpretations of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, We thus conclude, in opposition to the views and arguments of our Richmond correspondents, that as matters now stand among the dismantled democracy on the slavery question, Senator Hunter, in cutting in between the extreme South- erm views of Wise on the one hand, and the Northern equatter eovercignty platform of Doug- Jason the other, has taken the only available 1 ‘vr an armistice and a reunion of the Charleston. Ia a word, the democracy, ‘ya votes, having pushed the party to « of dissolution on the nigger ques- tion, wust bow drop the nigger, if they would save the party. The attempt to run the nigger again, in the trappings of either Wise or Doug- las, will be the dissolution of the national demo- the ver cracy, as surely as, in 1862, the trouble about | the bigger principles of Seward broke up and Oisbanded the old whig party. Tur New Treasvry Nove Los nan Monn or Apia Goverswents—At the opening of the bids for the five million Treasury note Joan at Washington, on Monday, thirteen and a half millions were bid for. The awards were made in the proportion of two millions | seven hundred thousand under six per cent, ahundred thousand at five percent, and the balance at six. Wormerly loans were usually made to Duropean governments exclusively by Neh bankers, such as the Rothschilds, the Hopes, Barings and others; but a new method has recent- Jy been originated by Louls Napoleon, whereby the people have become the lenders, and in sums as low as ten francs. It appears also from a late communication of our Berlin correspondent that Prussia, following the example of France, is about to adopt a similar sys- tem. Under the former arranigemont the hands of the government were so strongthened that they became invested with dictatorial powers when questions of peace or war in Europe wore at issue. Thus, we have sec Hagtand controlling the policy of the Cuutigental nations in some in- stances, by granting subsidies, asin the time of the first Napoleon, and more recently by the in- stigations of the London Zimes to refuse loans to Russia and Austria unless these governments gave bail to keep the peace in Europe. Thus, having failed to exercise @ military supremacy, —Tue Porv- | England attempted to acquire a financial one Hence the action of France and Prussia in ap- pealing to the people, Bat as goverament loans are being conducted now this will be all changed. The masses of the people becoming participants iu the loan, their voices will uatu- | rally govern the policy of their respective | countries. This system has prevailed ta this conntry, though not made quite go manifest, Lu the recent bids for Treasury uotes at Wasbington, ulchough | the people are pot individually represented among the lenders, we yet find in the forty ac | cepted bidders no less than eight savings banks. Thus the masses of our people are to a great ex- tent lenders to goverument, because every one who has money in these institutions loans it for public purposes through the trustees, [a this way our bumblest citizen, the street sweeper, the bod carrier, even the poor sewing girl, become interested in the government loan, This cer tainly isa very marked innovation on the old system, and we cavnot help thinking that it is a very wise and judicious one, It is alittle curious, too, to observe that the influence of the milliopaire bapkers of Europe, who were built up by the great loans created by the wars of the firet Napoleon, is being demol- ished by the innovations of his successor. Another Victory for the Aliles—The Austrians Reuring to the Adda, The Persia, which arrived at thie port las, night, brings news of another victory for the Allies, at the village of Melegnano, on the road to Lodi. The affair at Magenta appears to have been a greater disaster to the Austrians than the first meager accounts led us to suppose. After the defeat of the Austrians at that point by Gea: McMahon they tell back on Abbiate Grasso, and thence retired to Belgiojoso, leaving a force of 30,000 men unsupported at the village ot Melegnano. Louis Napoleon despatched Bara guay d’Hilliers with a division to that point, who defeated the enemy, killiog 1,500 aod making 1,200 prisoners. A battalion of Croats and Hungarians attempted to surprise the vil- luge, but were repulsed by the French. “The Austrians, meantime, abandoned Pavia, leaving Piacenza uncovered, and crossing the Adda, took up their position at Cavatigozzi, a village close to Cremona. The Allies occupied Milan, where the King of Sardioia and the French Emperor had been received with great enthusiaem. The Austrian corps d'armée which fought at Magenta was commanded by General Gyulai in person, and comprived the divisions of Ciam-Gal- las, Zobel, Schwartzenburg and Lichtensteia. The official bulletin in the Moniteur sums up the account of the actions at Turbigo, Buffalora and Magenta, in these words:— Thus, five daye after their departure from Alessandria, the Allied army bao given three comvats jyained a batile, cleared Piedmont of the Austrians, and opened the gates of Mian. Since the combat of Montebolio toe Austrian army bas lost 25,000 meu in killed aud wounded, 10,000 prisopers, aud 37 guns. There can be little doubt that the Austrians will at once retire upon their fortified quadran- gle near the Adige, though it is possible that an- other engagement may take place before they reach that point, as the Jatest accounts state that both armies were preparing for another combat on the Adda. While these rapid events were occurring in the south, the forces of Garibaldi were attaining fresh successes in northern Lombardy. General Urban’s army had been driven from Varese, and ~ ~~ Aionerged, ile 650 of the At trian troops had flec from aveno deruse, a Maggiore, and took shelter on board vessels in the neutral waters of Switzerland, from whence they had been sent into the interior to Belliazona by the Swiss authorities, It must be remarked, however, that a Vienna despatch says that Urban had made good his retreat. A remarkable incident occurred at the battle of Magenta, which goes far to prove that the in- | fluence of the Hungarian leaders in producing dissatisfaction in the Austrian ranks has work- ed to some purpose, and that Louis Napoleon did not miscalculate when he supposed that the Ita- | lian cause would have the sympathies of the Austrian troops belonging to the Hungarian and Italian pationalities. Ofthe 7,000 prisoners ta- ken in the battle a large number were Hunga- rians and Italians, many of whom were captured | inwhole regiments, who had laid down their arms without any apparent necessity; so that, says the London Times, it may perhaps be doubt- | ed whether the bulk of the Austriaa soldiers now in the hands of the allies should be more | correctly characterized as prisoners or de- serters. The news by the Persia would indicate that | the theatre of war is being rapidly removed to the stronghold of the Austrians in the directioa of Verona, where they will doubtless make a great stand, and where the conflict will assured. | ly be bloody and territ Neutral Rights and Gwods Contrabend of War, The time is ripe, in the mids} of a war in Ea Tope, for some distinct understanding upon the question of the rights of neutrals, the right of search, and of what goods are contraband of war | aod what are not. It has been stated that the | Britlh Minister at Washington, Lord Lyons, has | had repeated interviews with Mr. Casson the | subject, and the Sceretary of State is at this time | engaged in preparing a letter to be sent to Mr | Dallas and our other Ministers at European | Courts, which will deflne the American doctrine | upon all those points. It is pretty evident that | Evgland is still in doub’ as to what course she | will pursue, We have commented before now upon the in- | terpretation of the righis of neutrals which this | country has ever maintained, and which it has | Tefused to surrender at the suggestion of the , European Congress at Paris in 1856. That in- | terpretation we have no doubt the goverament | will adhere to in the present instance. | With regard io goods contraband of war, the progress of science has extended somewhat the ! limitation of those articles which a neutral flag may safely cover. Thus, England now main- tains that coal is contraband of war; but we be- lieve and hope that our government will not ac quicece ia that decision. It is significant that the French goveroment have at this moment contracts existing here for the supply of two hundred thousand tons of coal, and if that arti cle should be declared contraband of war, it may involve this country in some trouble with the belligerent nations of Earope, and it is more signi- ficant-still that two of the bostile powers, Frauce and Sardinia, have declared that they do not consider coal contraband of war. France agrees with us not orly on the question of the rights of nentral flags and goods contraband of war, but on the right of search also, Upon these points there virtually exists at the present moment an alliance between the Uni'ed States and France, in public sentiment at Ivast. If England desires to presceve the amicable rela. wesgee-- tions hitberto existing between her goverament end our own, she must abandon ber sbuffing, wavering, and uncertain poxition upon the neutral rights question, and declare boldly that our flag sBoclatety guarantees the cargo carried under it from all danger—except goods contraband of war—and that she renounces all right to board or otherwise molest our vessels on the ocean on any pretext. More than tbis: we must have au explicit statement of what kind of goods are contraband of war, according /o the views of the British goverpment, in order tbat our maritime commerce may be conducted without iuterrup- tion. Nothing short of thie th. dignity of this preat maritime nation demauds, and the people will aesuredly hold our ad misist ation responsi- ble for any difficulty which may srise from the failure to catubiish an understanding upon these points. If England pursues her previous policy, of ‘pparentiy abandoning her claim to search our vessels, and assuming tlie matter settled ia time of peace, and resumes that claim ia time of war, she will soon find the entente cordiale any thing but cordial between the two nations. We trust, then, that the explanations now pending between Mr. Ouss and the Britisb Minister will be explicit aod fioa!, and io strict accordance with the views our goverament have entertained on the subject of aeutral rights. We , bope, furthermore, that the progress of civiltza tion is not about to be interrupted, as it was at the begiuning of the present century, by Orders in Council or Berlin and Milan decrees. The Post OMe Defictency and che Remedy— Dir. Holt’s Offticious Defamers, The deficit ic the Post Office Department at the end of the Ias¢ fecal year was estimated at about six millions of dollars. When we reveuled, some time since, the sus picion entertainea at Wasbingtoa that a part of this deficiency arose from the use of counterfeit and rewashed postage stamps, the fact brought upon us abuse instead of stimulating investiga- tion, as it should have done. Subsequently, the report of the Postmaster General on the case of Postmaster Westcott turned up, giving officiat testimony of the existence of thieves iu one of the large Post Offices. The course pursued by the bead of the department, as exbibited ia his official report, was pot such as was best calou- lated to purge the department of its wrong doers. We said nothing about the case vutil it was decided, aud the Postmaster General's statement was published. We then took it iato consideration as the public act of a public officer, and commented on it, not as it affected Mr. Westcott, but as it affected the public ser- vice. For this ancther of the sniffliog journals that feed on government pap whines at us, and accuses us of personal and improper motives. We dismiss the abuse of the snifling journals with the contewpt it merits. As to our com- menting on these subjects, they would do well to remember that they are matters which belong to the public, aud that in endeavoring to hide official abuses they do no service to the couatry, and inflict a positive injury on the party they claim to support. Let us now look at the facts as they state them. Ivis asserted in behalf of Mr. Holt that we immolate one hundred men; that not twenty of these had an opportunity to steal; that only seventeen dollars out of sixty dollars daily re- ceipts were stolen during one quarter; that Mr. Westcott established such a system of checks and accountability after this quarter that no fifty cents a day Could ve avsuragwa vn. ae tection, and that the same men remain in office now, excepting always Mr. Westcott, who was discharged by the Postmaster General. The pe- culiar logic of this array of facts we leave to the benefit of the Philadelphia lawyers. Their setting forth, we trust, will do Mr. Holt much good. But we cannot escape the conviction, that in discharging the Postmaster who wished to punish the thieves, and keeping these in the public service, the Postmaster General has com- mitted a grave mistake. A bold and resolute public officer, if hecould have brought the cer- tainty down to twenty subordinates and the Postmaster as wrong doers, would have dismiss- ed the whole twenty-one, and the energetic act would bave had a salutary effect in every branch of bis department, The defender of the postage stamps shows less logic and more ignorance than the advocate of the Postmaster General. He tells us that the stamp combines the most perfect protections known to modern art; that the first artists in the country make the original dies; that the paper has a nice adjustment of weight, density, sizing, callendering and absorbing qualities; that the simple item of gum alone has caused much ear- nest inquiry and repeated experiments; that the durable and fleeting natures of the ink have each a special object; that the machines for perforat- ing are superior improvements; and that, “in short, all the obstacles to the successful couater- feit of a bank note are to be found in the stamp, in connection with others of equal and novel im- portance.” This nice array of points, set up like bricks on end, are all tumbled over by their author himself, with that last “in short.” It is pre- cisely because bank notes in this couatry are manufactured by the same system used in manufacturing the postage stamp, that three-fourths of all our banks have had their notes counterfeited. What one epgraver can do another can copy; the very com- binations for the protection of the stamp assist the counterfeiter, as was proved by the investi- gations of the Bank of England, when it long since abandoned the system pursned in this coun- try in making bank notes and postage stamps; all the designs on the stamps can be separately procured and combined by the counterfviter, and tbe machine work on them can be copied as easily and as cheaply as that of a brass button, while both can be avoided by the more perfect and cconomicel process of electrotyping. All the talk about the. condition of the paper and the quality of the gum are used merely to throw mystery about simple operations, When the postage stamp is printed all over on one side, and gummed all over on the other, nobody ob- serves its weight, donsity, sizing, callendering and absorbing qualities, and a shilling’s worth of burnt starch will gum e million stamps, The other equally novel and important obstacles ex- ist only among the cobwebs of the brain of some pap-paid writer or contractor. Tho whole trath is that our process of making bank notes aal postage stamps is wrong, for they are engraved by a process by which they can be combined and multiplicd 18 casily a8 the setting up of type, and which assists rather than retards the operations of the couuterfeiler, Our revelations in this matter have been con- tradicted; but we know that in the Post Office Department at Washington grave doubts as to the truth of the contradictions arc eutertained, 4 of government, liberal as well as despotic, The whole country looks with astonishment on | the fact that our statements have been #0 offi- ciously contradicted before an investigation is | made. Between officers and clerks the Post | Office has come 40,000 employés, wll of whom | are politicians, Public experience ia the matter of money let/ers, and the private records of the department, as sbowa in the reports of ite secret agents, concur in the fact that rogues abound ia the Post Offices, Every politician will bear | watching when out of office; wheu in itit be- comes the duty of the bead of his department to watch him, We trast, therefore, that Mr, Holt will not listen to these officious defenders, who bave done him 60 much harm, but will fastitute an investigation at once into the Post Office af- fuirs; and we doubt not that bis discoveries will Jead bim to such measures as will materially re- duce the six millions annual deficiency with which be took charge of bis department, As for the suiffliog journals that bave attacked us, the reason for their conrse is plaia. We never kkvew a treasury pap ted man who advocated an investigation of public money affairs, Defeat of the Derby Mintstry—Eagland De= clares for Peace wend: the Progress of Lie berty, The news which we publish in avotber column changes the whole aspect of affairs, domestic and foreign, in Engtand, aud probably on the Conti- neut of Europe. The Derby Ministry bas been defeated in the fullest House of Commons (bat waa ever called to discuss a vote of a waut of confidence, or avy other measure, by a majo- rity of thirteen. When defeated on their do- mestic policy a sbort time siace, by a majority of thirty-nine, they appealed to the couutry. Now, with # packed bouse, they buve been over- thrown on their foreigu policy. This renders their resignation inevitable, aud it was reported on the day the Persia sailed that the Queea would send for Lord Palmerston. It has been proved on the Derby Ministry that they lest their sympathy to Austria, and thus encouraged ber to undertake the present wer. Blinded by their prejudices, they re- fuse to seein the present movement anything but an effort to extend the boundaries of France to their old limite, and to secure to ber the cva- trol of the Mediterranean. We do not remember to have seen, in the discustion of any topic, a more unsparing use of sophistry and special pleadiag than is to be found in the speeches on the ministerial side, Lord Normanby, for in- stance, in endeavoring to show the little bene- fit that the smaller Italian States would derive from their union with Sardinia, adduces as an illustration the fact that ia Pied- mont the taxation ranges as high as 55 per cent, whilst in Modena and Parma it is not a sixth of that amount. His lordsbip canaot surely have forgotten that the reason of this disparity is the proximity of Ausiria to Surdinia, aud the neves- sity of the latter’s keeping up a large standing army to defend herself against the encroach- ments of her formidable neighbor. It is curious that the very burdens of which she has so long and so loudly complained should be made a subject of reproach against her at the moment tbat she is endeavoring to rid herself of the ia- fluences to which they are owing. Lord Howden, with equal candor, sncers at Sardinia for what be calls the suspension of her constitutional insti- tutions and the liberty of her press. We scarcely know how to characterize such a remark, coming from a man so well acquainted | with political precedents as this diplo- matist. Lord Howden cannot possibly be Iguvernt of tha font that under every form it is essential in periods of great public dauger and emergency that the Executive should be armed with larger powers than usual, and that the constitutional guarantees shonld be for a time suspended. Without these provisions there would be a want of undty and a delay in the direction of the resources of a State which must have the effect of imperilling its safety, We had thought Lord Brougham too sensible aman to utter the absurdities which are at- tributed to him in the speech made on this oc- | Mr. Disraeli calle the extension of the area | of the Manchester wen iato power, and , against the French and Sardinians and in fa ' tain that apy influence it might bave wouhd n } Wee to put an end to the Pope’s temporal po casion. He talks of the war having been wick- edly and falsely undertaken under the pretence of favoring Italian independence, and in the next breath he says that “France has manifestly an interest'in getting nothing by the war, and in showing that she gets nothing by it.” Now, in this last acknowledgement is contained the whole justification of the movement. If France has no object to gain by the war, on what ground is it to coudemned? The voice of Italy has called upon Victor Emanuel to take upon himself the assertion of the national independence, and it cannot be pretended that in obeying that call he is yielding to the promptings of a criminal ambition. The interests of progress, of human liberty and of the commerce of the world will all be gainers by it; whilst on the otber hand, the farther continuance of the domination of Austria is dangerous to the tranquillity of Europe. The French Emperor, in hastening to the aid of Sar- divia, therefore, only anticipates the greater dan- gers by which the peace of the world and the stability of his own political system must even" tually be menaced. If the tyrannical and ehort- sighted policy of Austria renders revolution in- evitable, Louis Napoleon is certainly justified in taking the direction of its movements into bis own hands. But with all their sophistry they have beon condemned and defeated. The peril into which their policy was running England united all sec- tions of the liberals against the ministry, and in favor of neutral course in the war, antagonism to the destructive idvas of Ausizia, and sympathy with the progressive spirit of the age and Jtulion aspirations for liberty. In the debate the Duke of Argyle bore testi- mony to the loyal conduct of Napoleon towards England ever since the coup d'état, and all threw the responsibility of the war on the mistakes of the Derby Cabinet. At the meeting of the opposition held on the 6th inst., at Willis’ rooms, it will be seen that Lord Palmerston weut the length of saying that he was in favor of strict neutrality and a close al- Nance with France—a declaration intended os an antithesis to he ministerial policy, which is non-intervention and a close alliance with Aus- tria, Mr. Bright also stated at the same meet- ing that, although disposed to concur in any measures Which could impart union to the libe- ral party, if he thought peace was more likely to be secured by keeping the present government in office, nothing should induce him to assist in turning them out, Peace could not be preserved by them, and they now give way to men who will se- cure peace, The reorgnization of the libe- ral opposition on a peace policy does away with the apprehensions inspired by the language used by some of the old whigs in Parliament. It matters not in what servile fol- lies Lords Brougbam or Normanby may indulge, #0 long a6 ise party generally is oot iafected them. The compromise that bas ben effeo coutemplates, if we understand it right, wt selection for public office. This will brig #9 them in office the principle of von-interven' cacuot be trified with or departed from. Tal in coujunction with this fact the warning git by Eureia to the German States through evcumr of Prince Gortschakoff, and the d mination reiterated by Prussia throagh official organs not to link her intexests with Itatian policy of Austria, we lave reasonsl guarantees that the war will aot be permit to utsume European proportions, @he War in Its felation to the Pope. Xt is poi to be di-guised that in the war whi is now being waged ia Lombardy the sym thies of the besd of the Catholic churoh of the Austrians, We do not mean to say th that circumstence is to exercise any iufluen upon the result of the contest; nor is it be ultimately injurious to the cause whic meant to benefit, Nevertheless, the fact of Pope’s predilections is one whicb muy have y important bearings, if vot on the course of war itself, at least upou the shape which treaties of peace will eveutually assume ta constructing the political condition of [taly; itis by no meaos unlikely that in that ttruction—-whenever and however it co about—tbe temporal dormiuion aud sovereig of the Pope will be terminated, I[¢ is iu view of ihe question, and in view of the e which such @ contingency may have upoa! Catholic church throughout the world, that cations of the leanings of Pio Nouo ia this become bighly interesting aud important. There is vo doubt that uitnongt Louis Ni leou sent an army to Rome in 1848 to expet ribaldi ond the tribunes, aed to restore tae b of the Catholic church to bis seat in the Ete City, his teeliugs were theo aud are now av. to the continued existence of the popedom temporal sovereignty, Toat movement was tated by high cousideratious of policy r than by a desire to perpetuate the existiag Pi Syetem; on the covirary, one cf the te Napoleonic ideas is to restrict the Pope mere spiritual sway, apd to relieve -him of the weighty questions of State which must time to time devolve upon even the smallest) weakest of sovereignties, That idea has bably become a fixed principle iu the miu the Freuch Emperor; aud therefore there have been good ground tor the rumor whic tained publicity at the outbresking of war, to the effect'that one of Napoleon’s to take from under bis control the whole of Papal States, but to leave bim the city of R aud eudow him with an anoual stipend sufti for the maintevance of bis high position. Now, whatever good Catholics and liber, of all denominations may think us to the ad bility of each a change in regard to the h the Catholic chureb, there is no good re believe that the project tinds favor either Pius the Ninth or his Council of Ministers. therefore it is not to be wondered at the sympathies of the Court of Rome the Austrians in this conteaé, and that in of that Court Austrian domination seemp ferable to Italian independence, Those sympathies are uot without expres The Pope, although he has proclaimed th trality of his government in the existing gle, makes no secret of bis leanings in fi Austria, aud has permitted that Power to Ancona and other places within his dom The treaty of Vienna gave Austria the garrison in the fortresses of Ferrara aud C chio, but that right or privilege has bed tended in the present instance. Then, we the very significant fact that at a grand rel Procession, which was got up at Vienna o 4th of June, ander the direction of Ca Archbishop Rauscher, to propitiate divine and to win victory forthe Austrian arme Pope’s Nuncio participated, and read high in the Cathedral. This he would not have to do without the Pope’s special sane! and thus we see the Pope, through his accred representative, imploring heaven to overt the cnemies of Austria, and to give the vic to that Power. It is a curious coincidence on that same day the Austrians were sustain & defeat at Magenta. To be eure, we have om| other band the Arebbishop and Catholic clay of Paris singing Ze Deums at Notre Dame fi victory of Magenta; but the ultramontanis not predominant there, and no papal Legal Nuncio identities his master with the solem The Paris celebration, therefore, does not a in the slighteet degree, the significance off Vienna one. So we find also that in Catholic Irel movemeut has been going on under the ausp of Cardinal Wiseman to enlist popular opi on the side of the Austrians, on the ground the integrity of the Pope’s position is aimed the alliance between France and Sardinia; there the curious and extraordinary spect has been presented of 9 coalition between Catholics and the tories, which has resulte giving a majority to the Derby ministry in land. These are unmistakable indications off side to which papai sympathies tend in the W Demonstrations that would go further might extremely hazardous, not only to the gov ment of the Pope in provoking revolution Rome or in converting the Freach garrison an avowedly hostile occupation, but also to government of Austria in urraying against it Protestant sentiments of Germavy aud of land. If the war should take this relight turn, it would assame European dimensions, : assuredly end in the downfall of the Pope temporal sovereign. Therefore, while it is lkely that the holy Father will venture any ther in exbibiting his partialities in this wi is quite ‘probable that he has a gone far enough to confirm the I" Emperor in the determination whic is said to have formed in regard future position of the head of the Catholic ol An incident which we have high authority saying has recently happened in Rome, is p liarly significant in this aspect of the que Pius the Ninth was anxious to leave the Ei City and to take refuge in Vienna, excusing, movement on the ground of his apprchen a revolution in Rome. General Goyon, commands the French garrison there, info: his Holiness that he might relieve his miu apy such apprehension, as he had receiv structions from the Emperor to guard his person. Again the same desire was man without any such excuse, but this time G informed his Holinces that he could not p vad oa a
