Ma .......Aftinoss. 11. Na. 110-uessor —Nersiag. SA U.. LONDON, MONDAY, MAY IL AN impression appears to have goes abroad that the debate on the Treaty of Peso, will not be very ballasted or protracted in either Hones. It sometimes happens, indeed, that the moat experienced find themselves deceived in such anticipations; that an eager discussion arises where nobody looked for one, and that a debate expected to be eager goes off like after& in the pan. But the result of the Bars de bate has made Ministers confident ; and everybody bele that the national opinion of the Poses is too de cidedly formed to be materially influenced by Par liamentary division& When hostilities were first declared, the ima ginations of men were filled, not only with the sufficiently momentous interests at stake in the war itself, but with all the wider issues to which it might ultimately lead. The immediate objects of the war were em braced in a tempera, ively moderate compass, and were clearly defined. The CZAR had, through his envoy MENTCHIROII, urged demands upon the Porto, com pliance with which wee incompatible with the inde pendence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire. These demands not being complied with, a Russian army occupied the Danubian Prineipallties,avowedly for the purpose of compelling the Bovrew to yield. Such proceedings were of themselves sufficiently unequivocal; but the convenatioce of the late Ex- PZZOR of Mesta with Sir HAMILTON ISITMOUR respecting " the dying mu," left not the pos sibility of a doubt that the object of the Russian Government was to reduce Turkey to the condition of a vassal Etats ; sr, failing in that, to Turkish provinces as possible. It wee to repel this audacious and lawless aggression of the Cult that France and England entered the field es the allies of the Porte. The first object of the Allied Powers wee to expel the invaders from the Ottoman territory; the next wee to extort from Ramis material guaran tees that each aggressions should not be persisted in sr repeated. _ __ _ __ Thies were the direct, immediate, avowed objects of the war. Bet all experiecos has shown that when ever so many great European POINT. have been in volved in hostilities the coolest has rarely termi nated without extending to other assn of quarrel, and involving other combatants In the fray. And the state of Re ape in 1864 rendered such an extension of the straggle extremely pro bable. The embers of the essfiagradee el 1848 con tinued to burn smosideringly over the whole Coati neat. The victors feared, and the vanquished hoped, that the belligerents is their meare.h for allies might afford oppoetneitise for renewing a contest which had so recently terminated. The Liberals of England and Europe contemplated this possibility, not only without apprehension,but rather with a hope. fal expectation. The more thoughtful and farsighted smog them had, indeed, little faith in the possi bility of establisbiag the caves of popular liberties and independent nationalities throughout Europe by a general war; but they believed that is the coarse of protracted hostilities acesething might occur to amble the trampled nations to sesset their rights with better chasers of season. The Polish patriots foresaw the possibility of an attempt to weaken Eris by an appeal to the aspirations of the Poles after indepeedenee ; the Hungarians were as the watch for some opportunity of renewing their efforts for emancipation that might arise oat of the waver lag, tortarms coarse of policy puma by Austria; the Italians flattered themselves that, while the attention of their foreign oppresses was concentrated on other regions, an occasion might offer to break their chains. Had the power of Resets suf ficed to prolong its resistance to the jest demands el the Allies, there as be no doubt that some, if sot all, of these visions would have been realised; and all the earnest Meads of liberty throughout the world were on the outlook to embrace, and turn to good assent every opportunity of pro moting the great came of freedom that might present itself. As usual, the sanguine and inisginadve re garded these contingencies as esetainties. In seeking to form a jest estimate of the chario t*: and value of the Peace that has jest been coo chided, it will be necessary to bear oonstaatly in mind the distinction between the Weal objects of the war, and what might have beams its objects had it bees ssfaciently prolonged. If satisfactory 'se venties for the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire have been obtained, and if the poli ties sad prospects of the Liberals of Europe have :wired no detriment--still more if they have In any respects bees improved —we shall have every piens to be satisfied with the results of the Coaforoacos at Paris. In so far u Turkey is eceesnied, the condition of the Peace appear to be perfestly satisfactory. The Turkish territory has bees cleared of invaders, sad will soon be left free from the premise eves of friendly foreign armaments. The Ruda' Seat in the Black See has been redwood to a few guards eosgas, maintained solely for pupates of miaridme polio.; and the military and naval arsenals of Russia on that sea are to be suppressed. The SULTAN is enabled to keep on fo3t a squadron for the main tenance of a maritime polio* equal to that of Rae sia and all the great commercial powers will have cumuli in every port of any cousequates in the Eaxine, who—in concert with the vessels of war which England, France, Sardinia, and Autria are entitled to maintain there—will keep a vigilant watch over every demonstration of Russia. The Cult has expressly renounced the iniquitous claims onis predecessors to exercise ads facto sesersinty over Turkey ; and three great Powers by an =pram Treaty have recognised the Ottoman Empire as a member of the European system of States, and declared that any fat ure encroachments on its in &penance and integrity by Russia will be regarded by them as a easus beili. In so fu as mere conventions can give security to Turkey, it is pieced by the Treaties of the Paris Con femurs in as immeaserably better position than it ever occupied before. Is so far as its capabilities for self-defence are unearned, an opportunity is afforded it of dove lepieg its moral and material resources; whilst Russia will require many years of pesos to repair the exhaustion of its finances and resources entailed upon it by the war. With referee°, to the immediate objeets for which hostilities were coommesesd, we may, therefore, without hesitation se reserve, declare that they have bees folly attained. With regard to the position and poppets of the Liberals of Europe, the duration of the war bee been too Mkt to admit of eeptbiet beteg tinted for this by warlika MOM; go log, howffer, fees being deteriorated by the results of the war and the Begot's aces at Paris, both the one and the other an palpably improved. The necessity of making as effort to establish the independence and liberty of Italy ban been ',leanly recognised by the English, Preece, and Sardinian Governments. Three great principles have been proclaimed—that Italy ought to be liberated from the presence of foreign troops; that coccessions ought to be made by all the despotic Governments of the Peninsula to the aspirations of their subjects after a regulated liberty; and that the Government of the Roman States ought to be secularised. As for Hungary, the free navigation of the Danube will give an impetus to the progress of the nation in wealth and intelligence, whiles perma nent, though as yet unavowed, fend is established between Russia and Austria. We place little re liance on the very tardy lip-homage to the wrongs of Poland ; but we have faith in the effects that will be produced within the territories subject to the Cult by the growth of indus trial enterprise, and we hail with satisfaction the per manent organization of a Polish wipe in the service of the SULTAN. Even what is about to happen in some minor Eastern States is full of good augury. The wretched government of Greece will be compelled to give pledges for an improved administration ; the civil liberties of the Wallachians will be confirmed ; and it will be impassible for any English government to turn a deaf ear to the demands of the Cimme rian. for a recognition of their independence both of the CZAR and the SULTAN. As for the muttered threats easiest the liberty of the Belgian press, we regard them as a mere bream" felines: it is not by suppressing the liberty of the press in other countries, but by restoring it in his own, that the Emperor of the PRINCE moat seek to make his dynasty permanent. Then can be no doubt that the termination of the war finds some of the European despotisms with exhausted exchequers, and some with diminished prostige, while the deter mination of their subjects to persevere in the struggle for extended liberties has been in no way abated, and the cultivation of the arts of peace will necessarily lacrosse their power to exact compliance with their wishes. The European straggle between despotism and liberty—between rational government and the monstrous usurpation of dynasties and arietocracies-- . goes on as before; only the Liberals of Europe must now seek for the accomplishment of , their alms by other means than a general war. After the experience of the wan of the French revelation, every rational Liberal must admit that armies, though sometimes unavoidable, are extremely apt to be equivocal, instruments for the establishment of free sad rational governments, and most, there for*, be well pleased to resort to other agencies for advancing the emancipation of mankind. On these grounds we confidently expect that the sober sad rausered approbation of the Pesos, already expressed by the British public, will be ratified by both Housed Parliament.

A letter from Genoa, of April 30, in the Condiles. tionnei, says, "It is asserted that Posrio and the po- litical prisoners confined in the Isles of Nisids, Pen telleris, and Lampedonse, have been set at liberty. The doors of the fortress of Monteltuco have also been thrown open. There must be some truth in these rumours, since they come from correspondents usually hostile to the government of his Ma jesty Ferdinand de Bourbon. Austria, through the instrumentality of her Archdukes Reynier and Albert, attempted, six months ago, to induce the King to change hie system, but he replied to them that Austria would do better to set an example than to give advice on such a matter. It is probable that the Grand Duke of Tuscany, now at Naples, has been listened to with more attention, and the rather because his efforts have been supported by Baron Brenier and Sir W. Temple." MAT 3. A reduction of the Russian fleet is effected. Three divisions will be stationed in the Bade. The Pont= fleet will retain the &nomination of the fleet of the 'Lack Sea. (Techernomorique.) BERLIN, MAY 2. The Russians lave commenced the evaimatioo of the fortresses of Rend and of Ismail. The journals of St. Petersburg publish a circular addressed to the heads of governments and to the marshals of the nobility, recommending them to seek oat new branches of industry, at the same time that they maintain the serfs in their obedience to the nobles. 81% PRTERSBUItO, 8171401:f. General Boukhosanet is putted Minister of War, and Priem Gortehakoff Minister of Foreign Affairs, with M. Tolstoi as his adjoint. The Treaty of Pesos is published. BERLIN, SATURDAY. Today the Bing closed the session of the Diet in person. His Majesty said that owing to the moderate pretensions of the belligerent powers a treaty of peso*, so ardently desired, had been oonelud ed, in concert with Pruesis. Peace had already diminished the dearness of food, and there was likelihood that an abandint harvest would restore cheapness and plenty. He complimented the chambers on the activity they had s►own in the aoudad of their legislative labours, and concluded by advising them to cultivate ooncord among themselves, so that the country, in friendly rivalry with other nations, might be enabled more and more to develop the resources of peace.

A letter from Berlin states that M. de Riohthofen, Prussian minister in Mexico, now on cove, has been appointed Prussian commiesimer in the Principali ties.

Of these pretended personal in. finances, it is said, a complete trade is made. The Emperor desires the public to understand that in matters which concern the nation, personal influence is proscribed, and he desires that the police will use all diligence to bring under the operation of the penal code persons offending as described. PARIS. B•TVILDAT EVANING. The Log of Wartemberg, travelling under the name of Baron do Teck, is expected in Paris tomor row, with a numerous suite. The Emperor hes ordered apartments to be prepared for his Majesty in the Pavillon Mama, in the Tuileries. The King, who is the oldest Sovereign in Europe, is brother-in law of Prince Jerome Bonaparte. The Ottawa papers my that the Archduke Ferdi nand Maximilian, brother of the Emperor of Mattis, is coming to Paris next mouth. The Emperor yesterday gene an audience of leave to the Orand Vizor, Aali Paella. plenipotentiary of the Ottomans at the congress of Paris. The ifortitestr contains another small instalment of free trade. A decree Saxe the import duty on cocoa from the estrepots at, by Framed vowels, 86f. the 100 kilogrammes, and by fatale vessels, 76f., instead of 95t. and 106 f., se before. The duties from the French colonies, from countries to the west of Cape Horn and other countries out of Europe, remain as before. Mother decree tires the import duty of iron pipes of all ekes, whether Weight or carved, at 30f. the 100 kilogrammes. The latter description (in French, tubes de fn ) doss not answer to any deno- mination oontaised in the tariff lista to which I have been able to refer. The Petrie says it hes received from an &nosy moue correspondent a number of a Greek journal called the Drapes* Helleniftse, the articles of which are printed in alternate columns in the French lan guage. This journal sounds the tocsin of insurrection in the name of the martyred virgin of Verne, whose blood, it says, will be as fruitful as that of Lucretia end Virginia. The Drapeau Heilinifue laughs to scorn the notion that the Esatern question has been settled by the Paris Congress, and submits that the only tree mode of settlement is "to take the reins of government in the But out of the bands of the Turks, and to give them to the Christians —in other words, to found a free and independent Greek christian state upon the ruins of the Mahometan empire." The Petrie, in opposing this wild idea, offers the opinion that a serious intervention in Greece, on the part of the protecting courts, may be necessary to remedy a state of things which has been getting worse since it was known that the war bad come to an end. M. Adolphe Adam, the eminent composer, died very suddenly last night. He was at the Opera with several friends, in the director's box, up to eleven o'clock in the evening. COUNr WALEWSKPS SPEECH.

Lord Panmare has received a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his lordship by Osneral Sir William Codrington, 'C.C.S.: Sebastopol, April 19. My L rd,—Oa the 12th instant General Litters seat an answer to my letter as to the entrance of our vessels Leto the harbour. It was to the effect that he had received orden to place no impediment in the way of vassals of any description entering the harbour of Sebastopol. I accord ingly informed Admiral Fremantle; and on the 14th test he proceeded to the harbour, with his flag on board her Mejesty's ship Beeshee, and, p easing through the line of wreck, anchored inside the quay of Fort Paul. Having met the admiral in the dockyard we went up the harbour M a small steamboat, and, passing also along the north side, landed at Fort Constantine, receiving all civility and atten • tioa on the part of the Russian officers. General Ludes had invited Marshal Polissier, General La Marmon, and myself to meet him at the Trsktir bridge, at twelve o'clock, on the 13th instant, In erder that we might accompany him to a breakfast on the Msekensie Height.. The meeting aooordiogly to k pace. 0 I Lit ;era, with a large staff of Russian officers, was received is the French tines by &guard cf honour, and with a salute of a , tillery, after which, folowed by many officers of the Allied and Russia& armies, we mend the river and the plain of the Teheran'', and ascended the heights of Mae beanie, at the r:al by which cur army come to Balaklava on the flank march from the Belbek, in September, 1864. About 6,000 infantry and 1 battery of artillery, the divt sloe of General Vessilitaky, were paraded and marched past; a short distance farther on the heights a large and ornamented marquee had been pitched, in which we were the gusts of Gametal Ludes, and nothing coold eacesd the e euetey sad attendee of all the officers of the Russian army- Os the 16th Geasral Lilders came, with many Resit' officers, to Marshal Minter's to breakfast, and to be pre met at some /BM; it is needless to say that their reception was as cordial and the attention as kind as that shown to us in the Russian camp. The afternoon was passed at the coons is the neighbourhood of the Mooss•ery of Eit. George, where thenc.aand a Carrousel of the Chas:ears d'Afirque dabbed t►e day. Oa the 17th, Marshal Pelisaier reviewed the French army, on the nage of heights near the Monastery of St.' George. From all edge from liarniesch at some distance on the west, from the Fedionkine, and the inner be , ghts on the plala c f Balakina, and from the t eater camps below us, we saw the French column., with their artillery, pass over the undulating ground below to the concentration upon their position on the heights. At 11 o'cloek we met General Loden at the Col-de B &tibiae's, and, ridirg alp the steep hill above it, we passed along the line of columns este•ding, in more open order than we gene rally form, a distance of rib rut two miles and • half. The •tiny then marched past, 88 battaliocr, five regiments of cavalry, siege artillerymen, sappers, and 198 guns, the defil • of this floe army lasting t,Il 3 p.m. °could Ldlers thee came to luncheon at the English headquarters.

The Latd Pawnee, Le., &e. THE OUTRAGES AT NABLOUS. We have been favoured with permission to publish the following remarkable document, which contains the most complete account of the distreuing occurrences at ?fables' that has yet occurred. It is an almost verbatim translation of • letter addressed by three of the most re spectable protestant Christian, in Nab!cue to • pious and intelligent missionary who hasjust returned from Palestine. We were prepared for such outbursts of Moslem fanaticism, and readily admit that they must be handled with all discre tion. Bat, firmly eonvineed as we are of the immense ser vices which the protestant missions in Syria and Palestine are rendering sad will hereafter render, and of the necessity of encouraging and supporting the government at Constan tinople in the liberal and tolerant policy it has adopted, we trust that the affair will not be neglected by the Western Powers. We have deemed it expedient to suppress the muses of the letter-writers. JERUSALEM, Aram 9. Oh, fl;r, the honoured, respected priest, John Bowen— any he be preserved! May this present sllproper respect. We wish to inform you of the strange and awful evils which have been inflicted by the ravenous wolves of Nablous epos the weak sheep, the miserable, despised Christians of the tow., and upon the consular agents. On the 30th of the past month the Lard Bishop, Samuel Gobat, English Mutineer, came, and we went with him to Kuwaiti. A past came, and informed as of great mate and terrible things. We went by way of t! e plain to Jeru salem, and after we understood all the news we purposed Informing you that it may be published, and thus make known to all who inhabit Europe the darkness that hie fallen oa the Christians of the East, and especially on the kingdoms allied with the Kier of Islam, for we know that it is not understood what the government of thin onstry really Is. On Friday, the 4th cf this month, an English clergyman, Mr. Lyle, who live a amongst the Ansyrii, in the neighbour hood of Latakia, came to Jerusalem, and returned, that he might meet the bishop at Nablous c r Nexarstb. As he was going out of Nablous a Moslem followed him (a deaf and dumb man—perhaps you know him, Yuma, son of E!-Abd, of evil form, utterly untrained, like the people of his country), and began to shoot w.th unintelligible sounds, es if he wanted money, and laid hold of the horse with one hand, and with the other the muszle of his gun, draw ing him back towards the town, rre venting him going on his way by folly and insult. Bat you ate not ignorset of the people of Emblems, great and small, how they despise all Franks and Christians, according to their nature, formed is enmity to the whole Ckeistian race. Mr. Lytle pulled the gun and the horse from the man; the lock caught in 101110 of hi. clothes, and the *barge entered the heart of the dumb man ; and in a few minutes be died. The clergyman retureed to the tarn, and wished to enter the house of one of the English conanlar opiate. The Mo•lesse seised him is the way, and took him to the judgment. He said, "I killed a man, but not by my 'aunties, in spite of me ;" and one of the Ulems, Mohammed Tirfotha, went down , with his brother Amar, and began to cry in the streets, " Allah Akbar I Allah Akbar ! (God is great) ; Oh, religion of Mohammed, art thou dead ? ir, it is dead]." As soon as Mahmond Beg AM el Hati beard of it be &rote, and began to collect men, for there was an @terming tumult in the city. Some of the Ileitis (council) came ; others did not they csuld not form a council ; and it was determined to hold one after the prayer [the Friday's prayerj. In the meantime the Shock Sulati-elHatane c hooted about twelve persons of the Ulema. It is uncertain as to the presence of three Ulema, who were members of the MOH.. It is said they tad agreed together 1 before the Friday, and waited an orp - vtunity when the Weenies, should mend the minaret to call to prayer as usual. Thesis Ulema stopped teem as soon as they began, and said, " What is there in oar prayer ? Islam is dead !" Soon all the Moslems were assembling in the moque to prayer, and the Memo and hokum. said to them" Go, pray behind the (Christian) priests and consular agents; the reli ght, of Mohammed is dead." They excited the plop!, by starts wade, sent them out, and pr. v, nted the prayer. The aeople said to them, " What shall we do ?" They answered, "If you are Moslems, manifest the religion ot Mohammed," and began to tell them what to do. The crowds shouted. "God is great! Oh, religion of Mohammed ! " tend the women began to shout and urge them on. They attacked the house of the French mesa!, Mohammed Awe:. Edoadi El Casella. stole Whet they stole, and horsed the rest. They took down the French flag and dragged it through the street, but the Osmanli flag they took in boaour to the palace. (The cause of hoisting the Gigs was the birth of a royal infant of his Majesty Napoleon, the Emperor of the French. They had made • hand .icing for three days in the house of the consul. Also, the servants of the English consular area, in his a',eence, had hoisted the Epithet flag in honour of the French and their raj defog.). Then the:crowd went to the protecant church and school of the Barbell bistop, and broke the bell, which bad been hung up steer the arrival of tte firman of equality and pulled down to. t of the wad, tr ke the windows and frames, and Mint the book,. Finding the fatter of the Cbojabash of the protestant, (in oil man of 80) they wounded him, and beat his wife with • stick (a Milo" old woman). Next, they attacked the Greek church, plun dered its vessels, broke the woodwork, and burnt the books. Next, they attacked the bouts of the Greek deacon, Niphon, and plundered it. He was absent, hating been sent for and protected by Abd-el Fetch Aga Minmer. They found .hree Christians, woooded them, and left them for dead. Nest, they attacked the house of the Eaglish consul, broke the door with amts. plundered and broke everything, tore down the English Mg, sad dragged it through the streets ; entered the room of the consul's wife ; found Simon Cawer, father of Said, Prussian agent, killed him, wounding him with sword., area, cud club. (there were found to him twenty eight wound.), dragged him to the ststl-, and there left ' him. They took all the jewellery of the consul's wife, and her elcoltes, leaving nothing in the house of tt e least value; broke even the Et glhh iron plough ; and they tt en killed the acting Prussian agent, in the house of the English eon ' sul sr agent, and tore down the fl.g. Such is the honour the Eur,:pran states have from Islam. Then they attacked the house of Mr. Etna, elergym In of the Eoglish church, a Premise subject. plundered it, 1 rake open the boxes aad eepboards, wounded his si reset Hannah, who now lies at the point of death. (They left none of the wounded until they believed them dead.) Mr. Zeller's house wee left de inlet., and they would kers killed him had they found him. Next, they made an attack on the house of the Prussian 'gent to pleader it, not esti- fled with the slaughter of his father; tut some of the people of the quarter defended the boss*, aad after three atta:ks they were repulsed ; but they fired with tall at the window■ until they destroyed them. All this time they knew co: th►t we three were absent, but wished to kill us and the miationary. Atte/envie they at tacked the 0 . Torment-haste in order to I'll Mr. Lytle, who had inadverti killed the dumb man. The gates were shut, and after lo vain trying to break them open with stones they retired. The rest of the Christian. were eon. nested in the houses of Moslems, sac mist likely paid ' them the tece of their blood for their safety, sad what of their houses were plundered we know not, or what insults were offered to women, or what other mischief. Oh, day of terror, awful day! the like of it has not happened sines the rising of Islam upon the Christisna is Aleppo!. Where ere the English, where the French and the Sardi nian., wt o have shed their CI 'eft to oath ild the power of Islam, end to give liberty to the Chrkt..cs of the East ?
