A coinxzetion has been concluded at Parte by the Powers engaged is the late war, in virtue of whisk eery foreign soldier will have quitted the Turkish territory in six months But, long before that term supine, the armies of England, France, and Sardinia is Turkey will be greatly diminished. The process of eemoving the troops will be began forthwith, sad carded on with all possible despatch. As for the Austrians, they are to evacuate the Principalities without delay. As for the government of those provinces in the future, assiseares are to be concerted for its being pissed epos a more satisfactory footing than it hss hitherto been. On two points, we are gives to unionised, the English Government peremptorily inlets. The first of these is that the ettaeraiwett ever the Principalities shall coating, to be vested in the Porte; and that their internal administrative shall be organised in accordance with the wishes of the Moido-Walischian people, and exercised by them exclusively. To the latter arrangement no true Liberal can have any objectless. With regard to the former, it appears to Shed a better guarantee for the preservation of the civil liberties of the Molds Wellsehiane than any other that can be suggested. The age of small States has passed, and in the present state of European polities the materials for • great homogeneous sat ion, of which the Moldo-Wallachiana might form a part, do lot exist. Aa a people admi nistering their own interval affairs, sod linked in so far as foreign affairs are concerned with • greater power, the connexion with Turkey affords them a better prospect of maintaining their peculiar local institutions unimpaired than would •connexion with either Austria or Russia. We know it is true that some few natives of the Principalities, of whose pa triotism and integrity we entertain a high opinion, indulge in visions of an independent Moldo-Walla chitin kingdom, with a Prince of someWeetern Family for Sovereign; but the condition of the Kingdom of Greece is a beacon to warn us from shipwreck on that shoal. As for the talked-of union of the Prin cipalities, it is a measure in favour of which mach may be said; and the English Government at least has no objections to it. With respect to the Hoe podars, the arrangement most in favour appears to be that, on every vacancy, two or three names shall be submitted by the inhabitants or the Legislature of the Principalities to the Porte, of whom the Porte shall nominate one. With ameliorated institutions and an extended frontier, there is every appearance that the Moldo-Wallachians at least will ultimately find that they have gained by the var. Such corn peneatioe is due to them, for they have suffered more ' by it than any other subjects of the SULTAN. Bo far, we have been confining oar regards to Turkey. And, indeed, it is only the affairs of Turkey that can be said to have been in any degree settled by the Peace. The Peat:sleeves every other great Europeen question unsettled. The belief, which we expressed on • pnvions occasion, that Count Caeooa had not presented • formal memorial on the affairs of Italy to the assembled members of the Conferences, proves to have been well founded. The Count merely placed in the hands of the Bog- Rah and French Plenipotentiaries a innate, which was read at one of the meetings. Conference has taken no action upon that minute; in fact, Con bream can and will do notbioit in the matter. Austria has drawn &neer its alliance with Rome, in order to prop up its own tot:ering supremacy in the I Lonabardo-Venetian territories, and to prevent the I regeneration of the States of the Church, which is the key-etone of Italian Reform. We frankly onfess that we see without regret the Italian question left untouched by Conference; for Used Turkish Plenipotentiaries could not be ex • petted to understand it, and, of the other Powers represented at Paris, Sardinia and England alone can for a moment be imagined to be favourable to sue: a solution of Italian could satisfy the t.. 12 240 di of initial or the desires of the people of Italy. It is better that the affairs of Italy should be left un touched by Conference, threatening though their aspect be. In fact, Italy--and Germany too--are as open to revolution as ever; bat that is the sone queues of the short-sighted selfleheem of the lay and eselesbistioal despotisms of the Continent and lit them reap the fruits of their own crisis and folly. ▪ Ephraim is joined to idols ; let him alone' In the politics of the great and advancing Western World, England, of all Europese States, has iodaitely the greatest concern. And there we are happy to mark the last threatening clouds of hostility dial. paling es the far horizon. The English Government is prepared to make a very reasonable aoseeselion ; end the Cabinet at Washington has been Wight that its bellicose declamation lade no response among the American people. President Picacz and his Minister, will ma kes, to eireametaness. Some silly or mischief making people have bees sadeavoterieg to create perlitiesl eapital out of the escussest of troops and the transedesion of gunpowder to Quieds. As wee:- planed a few days ago, these movemints have simply is view the replacing of what has been withdrawn ken Canada to meet the exigencies of the war, Thn Nisbet of British troops isteaded to he quartered is Osaade, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prises Ed ward's Island, and Newfoundland—a region almost ea extensive as the United States will be about 8,000. Of these, two regiments ere already in Ganda ; so, the whole number shoot to be sent to British North America will hardly exceed 3,000. Experience has taught us that the great detest of the English army has been its alasosV exclusively regimental organisation, and it is de sirable that in so extensive a province of the empire as British North America there should be a possibility of developing and maintaining a divisional orgualeatien. The views of the Brit bib Government on this point are perhotly understood by the Government at Wm& ingtoe, and do not inspire it with either distrust or alarm Two real old Tory party are jest now trembled I with sad sad painful mingiviogs. They hardly venture to utter aloud all that they feel and fear. But their appreheutioos are ealy the harder to bear with Christian fortitude oa that account. If say woe elm would but blow a horn or raise • my of alarm and warning on their behalf. the danger might still, they think. be avertsd t but without actual proof of felonious political inteut, how sea a set of dull and inexpert country gentlemen venture to feria , a sharp of meditated desertion agaiast their Pie gsmsatsey shiers, whom to charge *wetly would Lo to &Beasts and offend. and without whom they are asoarafally otworlous they would be aothiag but a mare belphos mass of Newdegatism P What Tory county numbers and buyers of Talton boroughs cannot bring themselves to ask in clear and audible voles, we shall ask far them. We make so merit of doing so it is but the dictate of cosmos humanity that inspires se. Prejudice and party aside, it would not be Nekibbourly to refuse the performance of a service so easy, and by nosiness devoid of amusement. The question wit los to put ' to Messrs. Dia RAM Ind his associates is simply this : Can it be possible, gentlemen, that you are thiekiag of running away from your poor old partisans and principles, and of taking up with (boss who did the like about ten years ago P Parliamentary Toryism is a garden whose beat fruit is always stolen as soon am it reaches maturity. The defection of Canxixo and his friends, who com prised nearly all the men of rigs( talent in the party, load their junction with a certain mellow of the Whigs, inflicted a blow on the policy and power of Cloossrvatime, heat which it did not recover for many a lees year. Gradually, indeed, it did recover. New credos§ arose, new men made themselves known. In the bracing air of opposition new energise and abilities were developed, and their superiority in Parliament to their rivals was formally declared in 1841. We all remember how transitory was the period of exultation sad ascendancy. Sir Roam Pm had surrounded himself with nearly all the ripe talents of hie party ; and at the head of the dumb ma jority which bad been collected by the hustings cry of " No Popery" aad " Protection," they were irreeistible. (Soddenly the bonds of sympathy between the leaders and the led were severed. The former had become convinced of the folly and wickedness of attempting to govern epos principles of intolerance; while the latter, incapable of intellectual conviction, clang with a morbid morality to the pledges they had given. The permanent endowment et Maynooth was oar- Had by the Tory chiefs in spite of the Tory party. This woe in 1846. A solitary voice of warning and reproach was raised by one who, by some strange mistake, had been treated as one of the despised rank and Ale when he ought to have been secured by a s . aff appointment. With sagacious intrepidity be forewarned the doubting and distrustful party that " Protection would speedily be in the position that Protestantism was then." Before six months DISRAELI'S words came true. Sir ROBERT and nearly all the men of talent abjured the flag of Protection, and were thereupon drummed out of the Tory regiment. Office b:eatne the prise of their political antagonists, and has so continued with little interruption ever since. Two crops of leaders are • great deal to tab off , one unlucky ground in so short a period: bet what if the process is to be endowed for the third time P Untaught and unteachable, the bulk of those who sit upon the benches of Opposition are as eager as in 1827 when they refused to follow Mr. CANNING, or in 1846 when they spurned the counsel of Sir ROBERT Pair., to attempt to govern Ireland by and for • small minority of the people ; and to maintain an overlaid Church establishment in that country, while they refuse a miserable dole to the students fora priesthood of all others the most dangerous to society and the State, if treated with insult and with wrong. And once more the common eases of responsibility and prodmice has caused the newly-grown leaders of the Tories to shrink frost that which the two hundred and fifty Stamens who sit behind them would have them vainly essay to do. On the late occasion, when an unavailing, but not, therefore, innocuous triumph was won by " Suerrnisuifs brisk boys " of 1868, Mr. DISRAELI and Lord STANLEY, Sir JOHN PA KINOTON and Mr. WALPOLE, deliberately absented themeless ; while Mr. HENLEY and Lord JOHN MANNERS voted in the minority with Mieistere. Not one of the Derbytte Cabinet was found voting with the Dahill* party. Well may that twice deserted party ask, in the memorable words uttered on the eve of the Pulite eseession in 1848, "Are we again betrayed P" Truly it is a very unhappy cue when men of sincerity suffer themselves to be fooled by impossible principles. A still more deplorable plight is that wherein a knot of dexterous men mooed in playing and paltering with the unsuspecting fanaticism and undisosrniog credulity of large portions of the com munity. We may commiserate, bat we shall never laugh at the former. The latter deserve a different t reatm ze A more manifest duty is not imposed on journalism than that 0te...71i°11 those who seek to traffic under false pretences ; and we " 111 7 nay plainly here, once and far all, that we do not meal: to allow l the trick to be played off at the next general elect:Yr which bas on mare than one previous ooeseion been permitted to peas without exposure. Formerly, when the watchword of Maynooth was given by the ma nagers of the Carlton, men made up their minds that it was meant in earnest, and they dealt with it accord ingly. Matters stand otherwise now. If the Derbytte leaders continue to be recognised in the capacity they have heretofore filled, then "Maynooth" is not a gaieties of ecossienee, bat simply end merely a swia dle got ap for eleatiossering, and for no odor, purposes I —a thing to be 'pursed by all lamest mu, whatever may be their opinioes on the education of the Irish priesthood.

The two thiegs sre proved to be incompatible. These gentlemen love publicly and as one man repudiated Ezeter.hall politics. In this rr.Teet they have at last turned Peelitee; and how mach further In that direction they are prepared to go we may sot perhaps have to wait long to WC On our readers each an event will not have some by sees prise. We have more than once megoestisated its approach; mad now that it has arrived, the only regret we have to express is that it did sot happen before. Ix 'Midas to a French Naval Expedition which is fitting sat to dossed satisfaction from the Qossa of MADAGASCAR for injuries done to Prostheses, there is a meow el a smaller French flotilla being in preps:mien fur opening sonamanications with and seeking reams from the President or PARAGUAY, for eel of opprenion iodieted is French immigrants. Of the seserosy or inaccuracy of this latter rumour we prig* to know nothing ; but it receives some en couragement Sr.. the notice, recently isserted is the Nessiener, of the somplaints that have been received from the handful of Fritsch settlers who were silly enough to be deluded to Parapay. Moreover, the tra ditionary policy of a country will generally be found to predominate over its dynastic changes, and Franco as we know, has always taken an especial interest in one, at least, of the States of the River Plate, whom, seder the patronage of M. Tama, Count WaLuvrsui pawed part of his diplomatic weer. As Lord Cuteminox hes, however, mace than area pointed to the affairs of the Plate as a subject os which the English and Freak Cabisets set in mime, we can hardly suppose there le any proses' intention or wish ea dm part of the French Oovernment to attempt to dominate is these troubled waters. For oar own put. we regard the pansy of both Inked and France la the Elver Plate se mistaken and misdirected. If pest szperienes ma sunset any ia sentries whisk bale all resessable Neje.- tore, it surely is the prudence of letting them alone to solve and settle their own difllenlies, of not at tempting to direct their tendencies or to control their affairs, of not pledging ourselves to the independence of. this would-be Repablie s or insisting an the sub. esdisation of that pa:dealer state to a Coalederadon that be always existed more in imaginatisa than reality. What is wanted in the Plats is a strong native power, Ispable of preserving seder and tranquillity, of keeping open the navigation of the internal waters, and aromas; the quarrels and disorders of the restless military chiefs who, for the last thirty years, have been far greater curses then the savage lodides whose incursions they are now unable to repeL But the growth or appearance of such a power is clearly retarded by European diplo- macy heisting on the nub:tames of some fictitious Republic, or the adherence of some province to a eembinadon it despises, and still more by the sending of naval expeditions up the Plate and its affluents, to the alarm and jealousy of every state on their banks. What, for example, did Lord PONSONDY'S meek bashed mediation is 1628 result in P Nominally it I established the indepeadenes of the Banda Oriental, I bet in reality it produced the sostinsed devastation, the prolapsed anarchy, and the utter =head= of that flee country. The attempt to make a country independent which has no elements of independence failed themes it will fail everywhere. It plunged the Republic it called into existence into war and into debt. At one time, Bassos Ayres overrun its terri tory and besieged its espied; at another, the Buenos Aryan forces having been expelled, Brazilian troops were invited by the Government itself to occupy its territories and protect the population against intestine quarrels; and cow that Brazil has withdrawn from the struggle, and the country is again left to itself, who ma say bow long tranquillity can be preserved in the Banda Oriental P Aide, what did Lord Apanrizies's naval and diplomatic intervention in 1846 achieve P Literally the very reverse of its intentions; a treaty which abandoned the objects for which we had blockaded Buenos Ayres, which recognised preten sions that the intervention was meant to check, and which—by encouraging his ambition—led to the downfall of the chief whom it began by oppce. beg and ended by supporting. And what but harm and mischief have followed the late Sir CHARLES Hcrrettet's mission P By exaggerating the importance of UIQUITA and becoming hie prop, that chief was precipitated into the fatal mistake of offending the pride and rousing the hostility of Buenos Ayres. The consequence was hie expel sion from that State; the withdrawal of the most important province from the Argentine Confederation; the non-recognition by Great Britain of the present Government of Buenos Ayres; and its adherence to the authority which UAW= has established over the Upper States. Thus the quarrel between Buenos Ayres and the other States is kept open, fomented, and exaggerated; the Government of that Province, distracted from its proper duties, is unable to protect its subjects from the ravages of the Indians, now almost within sight of its capital, and URQUIZ• pre pares to take advantage of its weakness to revenge his expulsion, and compel Buenos Ayres to join the federal system he has formed at Parana. So far, then, from European intervention in the Plate having ever done the least permanent good, we are fully warranted in saying it ilia produced the greatest passible mischief. It is consequently not without apprehensions that we have seen at this juno- tare the departure of a British Chargé d'Affaires for Parana, and hear the report of a French expedition to Amami:lion. The arrival of a British Agent at the former city will, in all probability, encourage URQUIZA in his present designs ; pledge the British Foreign-office mote and more to rapport a form of government in which this country has not the lest interest; reedits unfounded suspicions of the ambitions designs attributed to Brasil; and excite the fears and apprehensions of Buenos Ayres. The tendency of such a movement is to augment the trou bles and difficulties of the Plate, and to lead to another naval intervention. As for France and Paraguay, the French Foreign office has probably received grievous complaints from the emigrants whom Geueral Loess, when in Europe some two or three years ago, persuaded to settle there. French settlers are everywhere the most troublesome and querulous of human beings, and President LOPEZ (the General's father) has a good deal of the arbitrary character of Dr. FRANCIA, without much of that extraordinary man's ability. Already the President of PARAGUAY has given offence to the United States, and bee quar relled witfi Brazil; and now, it would appear, be has brought the French upon his beck. But, without doebting that he has in some degree or other mal treated the French settlers in Paraguay, we may be permitted to think that, if the French Government do send out to oo distant a pleas a naval expedition, they will very unneosmarily exaggerate the gravity of the complaints that have reached Count WALEWBEI, and eveoursp a belief that their osten sible is not their real object. At all events, if they, on the smallest and slightest provocation, despatch • naval faros 1,800 miles up the Plate, the Parana, Zed the Paraguay, they deprive themselves of the right to ramoostrate, as they have done on former occasions, wit► other Powers when they are making similar in those watise. That the Anglo-French alliance should extend from the Danube to the Plate is a subject of congratulation.

THE LATE EARL COWPER.

In his capacity as Lord ' Lieutenant of the county, he made a proposition to the smart relative to providing a place to be used as a store for the arms and aecostrements of the /Walsh Militia, should ' they be disembodied. During the delivery of his short ad dress, he exhibited some nervousness, and seemed ill at ease; and in a few minutes afterwards he left the room, and eon plained of illness. Several of the magistrates, on being made aware of his Lordship's indiaposition, retired with kiss; sad is • few minutes as he did not show sigma of recovery, he was removed to the house of the governor, Mr. J.

Hs was laid upon a sofa la Mr. Hose'. office, his clothes were remind from about the chest, as it was in this pert the malady seemed to be, and every effort was made to afford him relief. Mr. J. What men and Mr. H. W. Joy were moon is attendance, bllowed by Dr. Wciodlell. They immediately made a minute in spection of their noble patient, sad applied restoratives, but little amelioration is his condition was produced, sad in a short time, although he espreesed hie willingness to walk, he was carried upstairs to a bedroom by Colonel Cater and one of the warders.

Count Boot and Baron de ISlanteuffel took leave of the Emperor of the French on Thursday, and yester. day they left Paris together by the early train—the Count for Vienna, the Baron for Berlin. Count Bud will stay a few hours in Brussels, where, immediately au his arrival, he will have an audience of the King of the Belgians and the Duke and Duchess of Bra- bant. His intention is to leave Brussels this even ing, and he expects to arrive in Vienna on Monday morning. The Independarsee Beige states positively that animated discusaions upon the Italian question have taken place in the Conferences. At the hilt sitting lEnsais and Austria maintained that every Sovereign hoe a right to call in the aid of another power, and to retain that aid as long as he chooees, without con. salting the wishes of other States. England and Piedmont maintained a contrary opinion, and so lively was the debate that Lord Clarendon, it is need, allowed an expression to escape him when speaking of Austrian policy, which is not likely to dad a place in the proves-verbal. He described it as " an infernal policy." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna of the 13th says:—" In the audience given yesterday by the Emperor to the pre lates to deliver their address, the Emperor replied in Latin u follows :—' In coming to an understanding with the Holy See, in order to fuifil the duties of a Chriatian and of a prince, I gloi y in proving by my acts, my faith and my hope in Him by whom kings reign, and I fully comprehend how much the bonds of civil society are con solidated by the sentiment of religion. What I have promised I will execute with the fidelity becoming a man and an Emperor. Such a great work, however, cannot be completed exoept by the union of forces. It belongs to you, venerable prelates, to join your efforts to mine and amoopt yourselves, in order that the faith and all that is just and honest may flourish among us, and bear the abundant fruits of salvation and peace. Have confidence in me, as I have in you. God will ho with us.' " OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. (PROI( OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 5. The news of a treaty of peace having been signed at Paris on the 30th March reached the allied armies in the Crimea early on the morning of the 2nd inst., and was quickly promulgated through the various camps. The intelligence produced scarcely any sea , sible emotion in the camps. Groups were formed, as the intelligence was communicated from one to another, and the subject was briefly discussed by the persons assembled. Some expressed aatisfaction,others the reverse, very often according to personal interests and feelings, bat a general regret was expressed that so fine an army—as good as, and in many respects bet ter equipped than, tho army which marched towards Alma—should be dispersed without an opportunity of signalising itself in another, and especially an open, campaign. No one seemed to doubt that fresh glories would have been achieved, which would have eclipsed the splendour of any of those already accomplished. A general satisfaction wu felt at the state of sus pense on this important subject being concluded. A salute of 101 guns was fired at 2 p. m. of the day De which the news of peace arrived, by the Royal Ar tillery, near to the same spot where the salute was recently fired on the occasion of the birth of an Impe rial heir to the throne of France. In the French orders of the day ■n opportunity was taken to eulogise the conduct of the army throughout the war, and to congratulate the troops on the glories added to their country by the conquest of peace achieved with the ■id of their brave allies, and on their prospects of a speedy return to France; nor was allusion omitted to the auspicious concurrence of the great event of the day with the recent birth, already announced, of an heir to the Imperial throne. The news of the treaty of peace, and the conse quent probability of a speedy evacuation of the Crimea, have led to increased attention to the arrange ments necessary for facilitating the removal of the vast amount of stores in possession of the army. All reports and returns on this subject are to be trans mitted to the principal storekeeper at Balaklays, Captain Gordon, who is to have the supreme manage ment of the reception of the stores from all the de partments in the field, as well as their shipment, the admiral, of course, providing the requisite transport for their conveyance to Eogland or other stations. All the guns have now been removed from the Russian forts and works, as well as those on the wharfs of the South Harbour, and sent down by the railway to Balaklava. The English guue from the siege train parks are following them fast, and already these depots begin to exhibit a very diminished appearance. Whether all the heaps of shot and shell which have been accumulated in various puts of the siege works are destined for re moval remains to be seen ; many of these piles of Russian projectiles are in places not very accessible to artillery waggon,. In regiments, the heavier por tions of the winter clothing and materials have already been collected and stored, and the remainder is retained in readiness to be given over at brief notice. A very practical confirmation of the reestablish. meet of peace, so far as the soldiers are concerned, has been the stoppage of tho 6d. per diem extra pay, or field allowance, which they have been drawing for some time put. It was ordered to be given so long u the men were in presence of an enemy, and there being no longer any enemy, it now of course ceases. The cessation of this allowance has been notified in the general orders—the stoppage to cont. Mena from the bate on which the news was received is the Crimea of the treaty having been signed, namely, the tad inctlnt. (Paoli LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.) War Department, April 16.
