IONDON. 177E8DAY, OCT. 1& Till advice, from Shanghai which wo published yesterday confirm the statement that Mr. WAX% the American Minister, had set out for Pekin by the Peh-tang river, and add (although the evidence is rather inferential than direct) that he had arrived in the Imperial capital. The Peli.tang, it will be remembered, is the she= by which the Governor of Peehelle invited Mr. Dims to go to Pekin, contrary to the arrangement he had made with the Imperial Commissioners, and not until after the Admiral bad begun to remove the obstructions from the month of the Peiho. Mr. WARD, the members of his Legation, and half a dozen officers of the United States Navy, after waiting six days at the village of Peh.. tang to learn the Imperial pleasure, left their own vessel at the mouth of the river, and embarked in jaake, which the Chinese Government had fitted up for the occasion, and are said to have been treated with much condescension. The next mail will probably bring positive intelligence of the arrival of the Minister of the United States at Pekin. From the language held by the Governor of Chi-11 to Mr. WARD, and from the reported character of the Imperial edict', explaining the Takoo affair, which are said to have reached Canton, it may fairly be as sumed that had Mr. Bares been willing to be the object of " much oonducension," and to place him- eelf and the honour of this country at the mercy of Chinese officials, he might have been on his way home from Pekin by this time with a ratified treaty. Bath Minister acted last June according to the antecedent policy and experience of his nation. The AlDefieli Minister—without a war to terminate and crown, with only commercial interests to consider, without a treaty right to go to the Chinese capital—mast get to Pekin as best he might. Like us, he chose to go by way of Tien-tsin ; he presented himself at the booms of the Peiho and demanded n passage; sad had Admiral MOPE opened a way through the bar rier', his determination was to rush up. The militia at Takao refused to give entrance to his modest escort, aad our force was unable to clear the way it was under these circumstances that Mr. WARD, without waiting for an invitation, applied to the Governor of the province of Chi-li to give him acre. to Pekin. The American Minister took a practical hakes-like view of a position which was one of great freedom. The situation of our Minister was very different. His treaty conferred rights and privileges far surpassing those inscribed is the document of which Mr. wean was the bearer, and many of which were as distasteful to the Chinese Government m they were favourable to the in terest of the Chinese people. It is argued by some who can write sensibly enough on other subjects, that on this account they ought not to have been pressed; the fact that they had been obtained by coercion is paraded as a discovery and produced as a durrant proof that they are wrongfully in oar possession, and that the treaty ►aving been made by the Chinese under duress is not binding—enure ment which would give Austria a clear right to resume poomarion of Lombardy as soon as she feels strong enough to do so. We obtained the rights stipulated an the Treaty of Tientsin while we held on. of the Bret cities of the Empire in our hands, end while further great military operations were in suspense ; they were designed and intended to obviate future muunderitandings between the two countries. If rights of this clam, solemnly conceded, are not to be respected on the one hand and maintained on the other, it is impossible to regulate our political in terwar's with the Chinese, which most thus rentals on the footing of a one-sided and arbitrary application of material force. The appearance of Mr. BarCi at Pekin was to form a transitional crisis in the public relations of the two Empires. It wee to close an era of irregularity and irritation, blued upon igno rance which probably was not confined to one side ; bet it could not do this if it were attended by Ci/COM moon calculated to confirm the Chinese Government in its old arrogance and exclusiveness. In judging of the intentions of the Imperial Government as they were to be gathered from the conduct of the Commissioners at Shanghae and at Takoo, it was impossible that any Plenipo tentiary should not be influenced mainly by hi s knowledge of the motives which have notoriously Influenced the same Government in its dealings with us for the last twenty years. At Shanghai he en countered subterfuge, concealment, evuion ; never theless, when he started for Takoo, it wee upon • clear understanding with the Imperial Commis sioners, recorded in their note of Jane 19, that he should proceed to Pekin by the l'eiho river. It has been Inqaently amerted that Mr. Buie proposed to enter the river in • warlike attitude, and proceed to Tientsin with a menacing display of force. But the fact is, that our Plenipotentiary had no sooner arrived at the mouth of the river than he sent a notification to the authorities at the Takao forts, to be forwarded to the Intendant at Tien-win, to the effect that the squadron would remain at the anchorage, outside the bar, while Mr. BRCCE was on hie visit to Pekin. Had this message been attended to—and there was no lack of time to reply to it, the communication having been made five days before& shot was fired— and had • high officer been deputed to meet Mr. Bacca at the Month of the Peiho, according to the memorial of the Commissioners, the Minister would hays proooodod aa far es Tien-tain with only such reseals M were requisite for his conveyance end that of hie smite. We bow what happened. The Flout jartmetiery wee kept waiting of the Pelt() river for three days after the date at which ceders might have beta received trees Pekin; sad thew, atter the topmetioes lied ecaussated, he received a meage, maim eireamotaaces which might well give rise to _ . a l epid m, inci ting hi m to go to Peh-tani, and wait than for an indefinite time. The Chinese Oovernment now, it is understood, 'ogre's. its regret at the misunderstanding. It is alarmed at the disappearance of the English and Preach minister's, which it can only explain by its Mrs. Mseiswhile, the two Western Oovernmeats are preparing no expedition of which little is cer tainly known, bat which, if all its parts are proper ' donate, will be • large an.. The political direction of this expedition will demand qualities of the first order. It cannot possibly be our interest further to disol genies the Chinese Empire by weakening the Central Oevernment, already too feeble, and visiting its pro vision with the horrors of war. It cannot be our interest further to involve ourselves is the polities of the East by acquiring territory in the Celestial Empire. We have simply to vindicate the honour of oar flag, and obtain the execution of oar treaty. When once the wall of ignorance in which interested mandarins have enclosed their Emrattoa is braen down, and that potentate aware' the conviction that his interests and ours is the extension of trade are identical, it may, perhaps, preve an advantage faros that we have the right to go to Pekin unburdened with the obligation of ma.. taining a permanent embassy there. After all, our permanent interests in China are summed up in the extension of our commerce. Our duties follow our Interests, and the main source of our iliißculties has been their neglect.

PARIS, TIIISDAT MOININO. The Moniteur of this day mammas that the Treaty of Peace between France and Austria was signed yesterday at Zurich by the Plenipoten tiaries of Austria and France. RECEPTION BY THE EMPEROR NAPO LEON OF THE ITALIAN DEPUTATIONS. The Nord of this morning contains the following letter from Park : " To day (Sunday) the Emperor received the depu tations from Parma and Tuscany at St. Cloud. The Parmese envoys were the first to be admitted. The audience commenced at 10 o'clock and lasted a quarter of an hour only. Bat if the interview was short it was in the highest degree satisfactory to the Deputies of Puma, whose countenances on leaving the palace showed their contentment. The Tuscans remained in oon- Went* for more than an hour and a half. The deputies cannot of course report that this interview will remove every difficulty ; but they will at least be able to say that the Emperor remains faithful to himself and persevering in his rule of protector of the Italian cause; and they have the assttrance that the principle upon which the whole question hangs, namely, that of non-intervention by arms, will receive no injury from any quarter whatsoever. At 2 o'clock General Dabormida (Sardinian Minis ter) was received by the Emperor, and the consulta tion lasted for a long time." INTERVIEW OF THE CZAR AND THE PRINCE REGENT OF PRUSSIA.

The following is an extract from a chapter on " The Clergy and the State," in the 2nd volume of the com plete works of the Emperor Napoleon "The clergy will cease to be Ultramontane when they shall be obliged, as formerly, to distinguish themselves by kerning, and to obtain their education from the came sources las the generality of citizens. Southern Germany, without contradiction, is the country in which the Roman catholic clergy are the beat instructed, the most tolerant, and the most MUM; and why are they so? Because the young men who in Germany destine themselves to the priesthood, learn theology in common with students destined for other professions. Instead of being from infancy sequestrated from the world, and obtaining in eoclesiaatical seminaries • spirit hostile to the society in the midst of which they have to live, they learn at an early age to be citizens before being prieets. The coesequence is that the German catholic clergy are distinguished by great enlightenment and ardent patriotism. There are no eamitiose which they are not ready to make for the triumph of liberty, and for the Mapes. deuce of Germany. Is their eyes, to be • priest is to teach morality and charity ; is to m►ke common cause with all the oppressed; to preach justice and toleration ; to predict the reign of equality ; and to teach men that po.itical redemption must follow religious liberty. Let the education of the clergy be the same In France as it is In Germany, and it will produce the same result•, By the union of priests and laymen there will be a double action which will be favourable to society ; priests will become citizens and citizens will become more religious. Then—but than only—we shall be happy to see as in Ger i many the ministers of religion at the head of education, I teaching youth the morality of Christ, which destroyed slavery, taught men that they are equal, and impressed on them that God has placed in their hearts faith and love in ceder to believe in what is right and to love one another."

PROM OUR OWN OONNZIPONDINT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVINIIIO. It is positively asserted to-day, and very few people doubt the fact, that a treaty of peace wee signed at Zurich at 10 o'clock this morning. The Pays, however, which comes out later than any other evening paper, does not venture further than to say that France, Austria, and Sardinia are at length agreed on the subject, and that consequently the " definitive signature of the treaty may be ex pected from one moment to another." At the Bourse the belief was general that the treaty had been signed, and that the news would appear in the Moniteur to-morrow. The Rente for account went up to 70fr.; but just before the close of business a sudden reaction occurred, and it dropped to yesterday's price, Orr. 800. For cash there was a rise of 100., the last prios being 89fr. 86c. Mobilier felll3fr. 78c. The Orleans railway fell 10fr.; and Southern, 16. 260. Western fell 7fr. 60e., and Northern, +Mr. Lyons and Eastern left off without change. It is not thought that the newly-created functions of "assessors" will come into operation before Nov. 1. The brokers are very busy in the discussion of the rules and regulations which the government decree allows them to draw up. Many people doubt whether the measure will work. The Debate and the Sleets have been disputing about the true intent and meaning of the private (and, by the way, altogether illegal) warning lately given to the journals restricting their liberty to treat of ecclesiastical matters. The former journal considered itself u prohibited from replying to the Colestitutionners article about the temporal power of the Pope, while the Sleds maid that the publication of the bishop's pastoral letters was the only thing forbidden, and that it wee permissible to treat of " principles and events." If, however, the injunc tion served upon the Paris journals was similar to that published by the Didependant de COesest as having been received from the prefect of the Mayenne, the interpretation of the Side may lead it into very dangerous ground. The following is the text of this very curious document : All the journals are " laving •' to abstain from the publioa the and discussion of the bishop's mandates concerning the soktion of the Italian questions. Any infraction of this mama of public peace will be immediately foUowed by a wig• _ _ _ This is the first time that the nature of an official "imitation" has been so distinctly and frankly explained by authority. Will any functionary now dare to deny the truth of M. Villemain's assertion, that the preventive censure of the press, although hypocritically disclaimed, does exist in France to all intents and purposes ? At a dinner of the Agricultural Society of Blaye (Gironde) a few days back, the Marquis de la Grange thus expressed himself : I will not propose • tout I Toasts, with their moon- ponying addreLse, are en importation from England; they are stiff and starched, are indistinct like foggy Albion herself, are intoxicating like porter, heavy like bar. I prefer the good old-fashioned custom of our forefathers, simply drinking heelths midi oat a remark. They did not speechify—they drank; they did net enter into historical disqubdtions, ,Alen erronsmut, did not pronounce sulogituns which are too generally silly or false—they expressed their 'authorise; by acclamations. . _ Down, this, with English toasts and imitations I hatred of changing this joyous table into a parlismeutazy tribune, let us be faithful to the past and to the traditions' of Prance. He then proceeded in terms of fulsome adulation, to propose the Emperor's health. Quells mouche roue a done piqa, Monsieur le Ma rquis ? Why go out of your way to fall foul of manners and customs of which you are profoundly ignorant? Why, at least, not practise what you preach, and propose the Emperor's health without comment? Instead of this you raise a convivial question of no inconsiderable interest; you make a speech over the mahogany against all after-dinner speechifying, and when you have said your offensive say against a neighbouring nation, you expect no dog to bark after you, Sir Oracle, and fancy that you have put down post-prandial oratory for ever ! Yon talk of the joyousness of a French dinner table. Never was a less appropriate remark—un derstanding it in the sense used by you, as appli cable to public dinners. A French dinner party in a private house or in the salon of the Trois Freres may be a very joyous thing if it be composed of good fellows, although they may all talk at once instead of listening to one another as foggy Eng lishmen prefer doing, and although, unless tempted to remain by a game of lansquenet, they break up at the end of two hours, and disperse to play dominoes and drink beer among strangers in the cafes on the Boulevards. Bat a public banquet without speeches is the dullest affair in the world; it is a gross feed, and nothing more. There is no more joy about it than there is at dining at the table d'hete of the Hotel du Louvre. Yon talk, perhaps, to your right and left hand neighbours,whom you may or may not know ; the buzz and the clatter prevents any thing like general conversation, and you go away without a laugh or mental excitement of any kind to quicken the circulation of the blood, and counteract the effects of repletion. There is a rationale about the management of an English public dinner which the Marquis de la Grange does not understand. Speeches may be, and often are, prosy and weari some; but without speeches there can be no homogeneity in an assemblage of fifty or two hundred men. Without speakers to direct the ge neral stream of thought, and cause all hearts to vibrate simultaneously to one and the same chord, a public dinner party is as much a mob as an army without officers. And after all the cant about long speeches being a bore, it generally happens, in accordance with the natural arrangements of society, that the speaking department falls into the hands of those best qualified to do justice to it. If the Marquis de la Grange should ever do London the honour of a visit I hope he will go to a Theatrical Fund dinner, or to some entertainment at the London or Freemason►' Tavern, at which some of our leading statesmen, or the princes of art, science, and literature dilate upon the special object of the gathering to an admiring public. When he observes the instantaneous silence which follows the word "order" from the chair, the respectful atten tion with whioh, in the interests of a necessary social institution, the most humbly endowed speaker is listened to, and the manifestations of intense satisfaction which greet the accomplished orator, or the eminent public man, he will perhaps instead of descrying the imitation of English toasts, regret that his countrymen do not imitate them better. He will Lave an opportunity of con vincing himself that the foremost men in England do not disdain to cultivate the difficult art of appro priate speaking at public festivals, that the practice of the art promotes a close fraternisation and sym• pithy between different classes of society which it is next to impossible to attain in any other way, and that an English public dinner, so far from being a mere joyless and monotonous meeting, at which people eat and drink more than usual, is a feast of reason and a flow of soul marked by distinguishing features and characteristics which cause the par. takers to remember it for years with pleasure, and to look forward to its annual repetition with delight.
