In a letter of the 11th, the former announces that by a decree of the Assembly of the 6th intent, he is invested with full powers to resume the neguciations, and is ready to agree to any conditions calculated to ensure the honour and security of Venice. In his answer of the 14th, M. de Bruck regrets that the rejection of the terms formerly preposed scarcely leave him any other alternative save that of requiring an uncondi tional surrender of Venice, but adds that Menthol Itadetzky cocetnts from motives of humanity, to re new the concessions he offered on the 4th of May last.

The Conadutionelle Zeitung imparts the following as:the latest new.: " Field Marshal Paskiewitch has 'Depended hostilities." The ..Vtti"not Zeitnno tells us that up to that up to that moment all further details respecting the catastrophe at Vilagos were as yet unknown. The courier, who brought the news on the 17th inst. at Vie nos. Captain Count Suit yk, prccet di d in stantly to Ischl, where the emperor was sojourn tag at the tittle t the emperor returned with him to Sehonbruen. As Count Soltyk came from Temesvar and not from Arad, he wes not able to bring any further pirticulare. This paper says it has from another nwe the information, (partly beim already) that Gen. Rudiger marched with the 3rd army corps on the 81 from Grosswardein to Mad. Prince Paskiewitch, himself, followed with the main :fir rps, and after leaving the reserves in the eamesdirectioo, Gen. %Wigs r re wheel Kis Jetos with out oppositioo, entering it on the 101. and effected his junction with the vanguards in Tos Komlos of the taps that had been sent there by Haynau. The latter commander, who was advarcing with his main army in three columns againet Temesvar, Arad, and the middle of the road that connects these two fortmsee, conquered on the following day at Temesnr. Gamey, to whom were joined non Suing the hastily-retreating corps of Aleisaros, Gavot, and Desewify, and later, the divisions beaten at Vemesvar, was threatened in his position by an firmed force of about 140,000 men, in the front by Prince Paskiewitch in the left flack, and in the rear by Hayman and the advancing troops of the Bantu, and on the right flank by the united troops marching through Trassylvanis, so that be was regularly en closed in a space of ground covering hardly 8 spare German miles. And was his sole point arapput. A retreat was not easy in any direction • the speedy fall of Arad was to be foreseen, as thi s fortress was to small to give shelter to his whole corps. On the 13th he capitulated, and Arad 48 hones later. I The Hungarian army by this proceeding has log Its solidity. The ;Hungarian co-ps, still existing as such, may be estimated as follows: At Once*, from 2. to 30 thousand men; in Comorn and the neigh bourhood 20 thousand men ; in Peterwarclein, from 8 to 10 thousand ; in the valley of the Wan, 6 thou sand ; and in Transylvanie (since Bern's disaster.), 15 thousand—amountingetillln all to about 80,000. Co more and Transylvania are the two points to which the imperial allied troops will now have to devote their chief attention. PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes : BERLIN, Leo. 22. Reports are in circulation, that the leader of the pietist party, Gerlach, is likely to be minister. Cer tainly from the number of heads of parties who go da , :y to Sans Souci, it looks sertninch as if there were a ministerial crisis; but the idea of such a crisis being terminated by a Gerlach ministry, can only occur to those who underrate the intelligence of the crowned bred. Camphausen has also been frequently to see the king of late, and is striving might and maio to get in, but this is hardly a sufficient guarantee of success. Under the present circumstances the country needs before all a ministry which can assume a firm attitude towards Austria and Russia, and a trustful and liberal one towards V'e people. Tae former may be done by the Brandenburg ministry ; but the latter ' can never be done by the Mannteuffel ministry. In one word, Prussia needs ministers who can make peace between the crown and the people ; for in the present 'tate of division this country cannot face a war. But to go through with the little Germany pro mised in the speech from the throne she will have to face one. Such men es Gerlach are repudiated with sickness by the people; his name is bound up with all that exists most offensive, injurious, and wound ing in reaction, bigotry, and total incomprehension of the country's needs. Gerlach is a general in cassock and bands; but another sort of general is wanted just at present. put b wk :Lust dia. le, baying reviou.ly order to 'nut IS. 1)1:11 SPAIN. M.

FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY, 5.30 r m. The ides of a!little political congress to take place at M. Mole's country residence is set at rest for the pre sent, by the following letter, which denies all that has been hitherto said on the subject, though it leaves room for euppesir.g that such a meeting may yet take place as that which has been mentioned. The letter is dated Champlatreux, Aug. 22 : Monsieur,—Will you permit me to give you a brief expla nation relative to th , se meetings at Champlatreux, of politi cal men of importance of which your columns incessantly speak to the public. You prove the falsity of the proverb that tt there never is smoke without some fire," and I can re-inure you completely on the progress affirmed by you to have been made here in the fusion or reconciliation amongst all parties, which appears to you the greatest ev:l France hes yet been menaced with. Since I have hen at Champltreuz, alone with my children I have received neither guest nor shit ili that clear ? It s true I have not bean here long, andl can- , not answer for the lute,. not iii.t tte what emotha. von would base epared yourself and ' your readers, had you con. deettewied to seek lot the slightest informal ion. You sounded the alarm long before the peril. The confidence accorded you may be shaken by such conduct. Riot , rie n, is too little to furnish mud. n far such cintinued and inflamma tory articles ? Be so good, monsieur, as to hist rt this simple awl short letter in your next number. It is not to the law, hut to your disposition to oblige, that I address myself to obtain its insertion. The meeting of the Peace Congress yes'erclay is considered as having led to more practical ideas than were announced on the previous day. All admire the sharp, incipive, though calm eloquence which cheracteriz-s Mr. Cobden. Yesterday the committee of 25, which had been convoked by lttter, met to take into consideration the question of whether the state of affairs in Hungary, and in Europe generally, rendered it necessary that the Assembly should be called together. The question was decided in the negative, and the committee adjourned for a week. During the sitting General Cbangarnier was questioned as to the state of the capital, and gave very sallefietory replies. M. Mole has written a letter to the legitimist jour nal the Opinion Publique, in which he denies all that has been said about a meeting of notabilities of all parties, at his château of Champlatreux.

TUE PEACE CONGRESS. THIRD SITTING—FRIDAY. The sitting of the Congress was more crowded to day than on the two previous Deadens, and crowds were as sembled in the aide galleries, who bad been unable to obtain seats in the body of the building. The proceedings commenced a little after 12 o'clock, M. Victor Hugo takiag the chair. Several pamphlets were announced to have been for warded to the committee on the preceding day, in furtherance of the principles of the society. Mr. RICHARDS said that the adoption, without discus sion, on the previous day, of resolutions 6,5, and 7, bad been, it appeared, regarded by some of their friends as a degree of slurring over of the proceedirgs. Hewes desired by the committee to seam the Congress that such an intention had been the farthest in the world frem their though's (Hear, hear.) Their object had been solely to save time, and the resolutions in question embodying what were rimply moral truisms, it had been considered proper to submit them at once for the adoption of the meeting. (Hear, hear.) No fewer than 24 orators hid inscribed *heir names at the bureau, and as many more had given in their mimes for the resent session. I; was obviously impossible that all these friends coold be heard, and the committee, therefore, fretted that those who had not the opp irrunity to speak, would kindly satisfy themselves with the beneficial magma of meting se conductors to diffuse the electricity of enthusiasm ' Selleetial is that assembly throughout the districts whither they were about to return. (Applause.) M. COQUEILEL said he held in his band a small volume entitled " AA Essay towards the Present and Future Peace' of Europe by the Establishment of an European Diet, Par liament, or States." One motto to this volume Beate. Pacific.," another, " Cedunt arma Toga." It was printed in London in the year 1693, and its author was Wee. Penis. (Cheers.) The very volume he held was the volume itself which William Penn offered to Queen Anne of England. It was marked with her royal initials in two places, and it had now been presented to the library of the Protestant Church de l'Oratoire, by the eminent writer, Andre Becher, is a monument of the first compete of pace. (Loud cheers.) The volume was given to M. Coquerel by M. Dubin, who accompanied it by the following letter: "Sin—Tin idea of Henry IV. had inspired to William Peon in the midst of the wars of Louis XIV., An Essay on the Peace of Europe.' Allow me the honour of offering it to you kr the library of the Oratoire of Pans. None better than you can show its merit to en assembly wherein the children of William Penn shine in such numbers. Ihe smallness of the volume has to doubt contributed to its rarity. Its intrinsic value ;will no doubt seem to you in creased by its binding, which shows that it is • homage made by Penn to Queen Anne, A.R. (Anna Regina) at a time when a false accusation placed difficulties in the way of his projects in favour of America. (Signed) " 13eenien. " Paris, Aug. 23." A letter was read from the venerable poet Bcratger to the following effect. It was addressed to M. Gernier, secretary' et the Congress : " Sir,—l thank you for the kindneu you have shown me in sending a card for the Congress of the Friends of Peete. I should have profited by it, and been present, were I not unfortunately suffering from an attack which I hope will hove no duration. You cannot doubt of my wishes for the success of this generous as-ecablareof distinguished men from all parts of the world, and of the approbation which i give to the initiative they have had the courage to take at a t'me apparently so little pacific. The act at such a puled is a proof of the holiness of the cause you advocate. Receive my thanks, and believe me yours, " BEHANOZIS. " Pawy, Aug. 23, 1819." M. COQUEILEL announced that he had to inform the meeting that, by order of the minister of public works, the ' erand water-works of Versailles would be set in motion on Monday from two till four o'clock, in honour of the Coe- I press of 'Peace. (Cheers) These water-works were ordina rily set in motion only four times • year. and Sunday next was oiled these days. The minister, however, in consider.' ation of the respect paid by English and Americans to the Sabbath, which precluded them from participating on that day in festivities, had directed that the works should also be set in motion on the Monday. ((ireat applause. ) Mr. 'LINDLEY said that both Americans and English could not do otherwise than receive this mark of delicate! attention on the part of the minister with a sense of warm gratification and gratitude. (Applause.) M. V. HUGO announced that at the present veering, it being the last of this session, no written memoir would be admitted with the sole exception of one by Elihu Buena— (cheen)—wbo bad come from America to spread the doctrine of pesos throughout Europe. (Cheers.) Mr. A. COQUEREL, jun., then read in French the me moir thus announced, and which wes received with great ap plause, as follows: " To-dee is fulfilled the aspirations of thA mart of coursgeous faith and extended philanthropy, William Penn. More than 200 years have elapsed since he penned his parting words of peace to a distant posterity. Assembled from both sides of the Atlantic, speaking differ ent languages, and living under different governments, we are here to honour with our remembrance that early friend of peace and humanity. The project which he elaborated we now bring back almost in ita original integrity. It has been subjected to the changing opinions and cenlitioris of society. Able writers in different countries have made it the theme of learned dissertations; yet it has not incurred any fundamental change. The friends of peace in America have concentrated their efforts upon its development ued adoption. More then fifty essays have been written upon it ; and hundreds of public meetings have been held fur the purpose of interesting the public mind in its favour. Peti tions numerously signed have been addressed to the legis lative assemblies of different states, asking them to induce the federal government at Washington to propose to the other governments of the civilised world the coevication of a congress of nations, for the purpose of establishing swell defined code of international law, and a high court of adju dication, to interpret and apply i:, in the settlement of all international dispute., which cannot be satisfact.rily ar ranged by negotiation. Such, then, is the present form of proposition which emanated from this metropolis more than two centuries ago. Ica author had no works on inter national law to consult. Neeheir Grotius, nor Puffendorf, nor Vattel bad published saything upon the subject. The great tribunal which he proposed was a perpetual court of equity, composed of a represei.tative from ern, recognised kingdom or government in the world. The only material difference between the original and the present form of the project, is not a change, but an addition. The friends of peace is America, who, perhaps, have devoted more attention to this particular measure than their brethren on this side of the Atlantic, have believed it indispensable for the order and peace of nations, that there should not only be established a court of equity or arbitra tion, but also a well defined, elaborative code of inter national law, which should govern the decisions of that tribunal, in Nettling the disputes referred to it. And, in deed, they have deemed the establishment of suck a code as the first and most important step to be taken, in organising ermanent and universal peace. In this ecenietion they are sustained by the testimony of profound writer, sad by eel deuce derived from the painful experience o f nations, still suffering from the murderous wars and animosities of the past. " The law of nations," says Yokel, " is se much above the civil law in its importance, es the proceedings of nations and sovereigns surpass en their consequences those of private poisons." How plain, how explicit, then, ought the law of nations to be ! Row guarded at every point. How Seed and acknowledged its principles. And yet, strange to say, this law, all-impertaat 'sit is, has never been p into the form of a code, sad sway of its principles remain mutton of dig. pate, and have been the frequent occasion of war. To adopt the language clan able writer on this subject, ' We have no such law, and what passes under that name is the unautho. rind work of irresponsible individuals, at different periods, who frequently disagree among themselves. Neither Orotius nor his commentators have furnished ea international code. They possessed not the requisite authority ; and they ' have given us only a compilation of precedents, opinions, and altuniente. It is the work ant of leaislators, but of scholars ; no law-making power was ever concerned in enacting any of its statutes ; and all its authority has resulted from the deference spontaneously paid to the genius, condition, and wisdom of its compilers. It is not law, but argument ; not decrees, but rules ; not a code, but a treatise : and the na tions are at liberty, except ent the force of custom and public opinion, to adopt or reject it, u they please.' The first work prescribed for • congress of nations would be to revise and reconstruct the present code of international law, as it has been called, and then to present it for ratification to the different national assemblies represented in the Con gress. To effect an object of this vast importance, we might assume that each nation would send to the Congress its most profound statesmen, or juraconsule, so that all the legal wisdom and experience of the age would be brought to bear upon its deliberations. The basis of representation and the mode by which the different national delegates should be elected, ere matter. of detail, which, it has been thought, might be referred to a more advanced stage of the project. But,merelyto supply the proposition with all its requisite ele ments, let us suppose that one delegwe should be apportioned to every million of the population of a country. If all the nations of the civilised world should come into this arrange ment, then we should have an assembly of about 300 mem bers, of whom, puller, 36 would represent France, 30 Great Britain, 30 Germany, . 0 the United States. If this basis were adopted, such a representation would be saffi cieatly popular, if appointed by the legislatures of the dill ferint constitutional governments. Even if a few absolute monarchies should send delegates to the Congress, their votes and voices would not modify the popular character and cos stitution of the assembly. For suck • Congress would repre sent the principle of universal suffrage applied to na tions, in the tame manner as it is applied to individuals under a republican or constitutional form of government. The votes that Prussia might be entitled to give, would be subject to the rigid condition of the democratic principle. They would be of no more avail upon the decision of a question than the same number of votes cast by the United States or the smallest republic. Therefore, a people possessing universal or limited suffrage could have nothing to fear even from the association of one or two despotic powers in such an assembly, for they would inevitably constitute a small minority in it, and be unable to modify its conclusions. Besides, the task prescribed to the Congresswould be so specille, and the materials so nature.: and abundant, that there would be littl e danger of the intro duction and diemmien of extraneous topics. They would not be obliged to Iseult hatO a new and unexplored field of ape centimes. Their ring rest work would be, merely to revise a system of principles, precedents, practices and opinions, which Lad already acquired the name, and even a part of the authority, of an international code. All that (froths, Puf fended, Irattel, and other men of greet erudition have pro duced, would be in their hands. The experience of past ages the present and future}neessities of internationalsociety would be available to guide their deliberations. Nor would this be all. Every step they Mk would be directed by the wisdom of the nations which they represented. For instance, the Calo ries might be in :sedan at the same time as the different national assemblies by which it bad been constituted, In order that its proceedings might be ratified step by step. Let us suppose, then, that it should meet at some convenient town in Switzerland, or fa come other central territory, which should be oossideied neutral ground, or free from any local influence which might affect its conclusion. They would immediately proceed to revise and adopt the inter national code, clause by clause. And clause by einem it might hs transmited to the national legislatures in 'anion at Paris, London, Frankfort, Wuhinron, and other capitals. At the red of six months, perhaps, the lest pan graph has been elaborated and adopted by the Congress, and ratified by all the :tetanal assemblies represented in it. I We have now a well-digested code, created, sanctioned, and solenished by all the moral prestige and authority that can be acquired from human legislation. The august senate ' which construoted it was composed cf delegates chosen by the representatives of the peoples. The most sublime legis lation assembly that ever met on earth, they gave the re sult of their deliberations of their respective national assemblies far revision, amendment, and adoption. Here again the peopla Lock part in the enactment of this code. Here, again, they affixed to its statutes the seal of their suf frage, and it became the common law of nations, invested with all the morel authority that human legislation can give to law. On arriving at this result, we have taken the first great step in organising peace in the society of nations. We have established a basis upon which their intercourse may be regulated by clearly defined and solemnly-recognised princi ples of justice col equity. The next step, and of equal im portance, is to constitute a permanent intimation tribunal, which shall interpret and apply this code in the adjuilica ti inn of questions submitted to its decision. The illustrious assembly, therefore, enters upon the second department of its labour., and projects a plan for the establishment of this high court of nations. And this plan is adopted also in the same manner as the code itself. Let us suppose that it pre ',Tibet the appointment of two judge., for life or otherwise, by the government or legislature of each nation represented in the Congress. This number is sug gested by the constitution of the mate: of they United States, which is composed of two delegates, elected by the legislature of every state, great or small. If it is deemed necessary that this tribunal shall immediately re place the Congress, then the latter, we will suppose, Can tinucs its sessions until the judges are appointed. navies( accomplished the two great objects for which it was con voked, it is instructed to apply its attention to matters of miaow international interest, until the judges arrive, to open the High Court. For instance, they digest a plan for esta blishing throughout the civilised world a uniformity of weights, measures, moneys, rates of postage, area f'r creating other facilities for tea social and commercial intercourse of satires; dills pre; sting them for that relation to each other which 'should exist between the members of a vast and peace ful commonwealth. We now reach the grand coesummation of our system. The High Court of Nations, is opened with all the imposing solemnities befitting the occasion. Deck nation, we may Oelieve, has elected two of its most profound end eminent men to 83 the seats allotted to it in this grand tribunal. Occupying the sublimeet position to which the suffrage or mankind could raise them, they will set, we may presume, under a proper sense of the dignity and responsibility of their high seecetion. Consti tuting the highest court of appeal, this side of the bar of Eter nal Justice, they will eadetvour to assimilate their decisions ss nearly as possible, to thou of unerring wisdom. Here, then, we complete the chain of universal law and ord r. Here we organise a system which is to menace: the great circles of humanity, and regulate the mutual deportment of nations by the same principles of justice and equity as govern the intercourse of the smallest communities ol men. We establish an order of society, by which great nations, withete deposing a single prerogative of their legitimate sovereignty, accept the condition of individuals who are amenable to law, For our system, if adopted, would not trench upon the cox plait independence of the different states. Neither the Congress nor the Huh Court of Nations would pretend to exercise any jurisdiction over the internal affairs of a country, or exert soy direct political influence upon in institutions. Neither would they be designed to reasee daaete the clisss , at Mtn of the MUMS world in a polideal unteu, like the Defied States of America. The great international tribute] which we propose wou'd not be like the Supreme Courier the United States, te which not only the thirty little republics, but every inhabitant of the union, may appeal for its decisiou in ail case which cannot be settled by inferior authorities. The different nations would still retain all the prerogatives of their mutual iadependence. Even if differences arose between them, they would endeavour to settle them as b. fore, by negotiation. But if that medium failed to effect an honourable and satisfactory adjustment, they would then refer the matter is dispute to the arbitration of this High Co..rt, whiclein concertwith other nations, they bad constituted for that purpose. The existence of such a last court of appeal would inevitably . facilitate the arrange ment of these questio: s by negotiation, which is now often embarrassed and thwarted by its dangerous proximity to an appeal to arms. Whenever a difficulty arose between two countries, the last resort, after negotiation had failed, would not suggest to the mind of either parry the terrible trial of the battle-field, but the calm, impartial, and peaceful adju dication of the High Tribunal of the Peoples. And when once the idea of war his been displaced in the mind of nations, by the idea of a quiet administration of justice and equity, pre parations for war, and all the policies which it requires and creates, will gradually disappear from international society. The different rations wculd soon accustom themselves to refer their cases to this High Court of Appeal with es much confidence as the doff rent states of the American Union now submit their controversies to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. On the list of eases brought before that court, may be found sometimes one entitled ' New York v.Virginia,' or 'Pennsel vania v. Obi e;" and, however heavily the verdict may bear upon one of the pasties, Mare .4 a murmur Is heard against it. In like manner we might see reported, saw g other decisions of this international tribunal, the MO of France v. Ragland,' Denmark v. Prussia," or' Mexico e. the United States.' The brief space within which this exposition must be compressed will permit but a slight notice of the objec tions which are frequently opposed to the system under con sideration. Among the most prominent of these objections it is declared that the different governments and peoples are not yet prepared for such a condition of society as we would establish; that, an their present disposition they would not be willing to submit their differences to such a tribunal ; that there would be no military power to enforce obedience to its authority ; and that all the nations of the civilised world could not be induced to come into this arrangement. Groun all these objections together, we would morel reply to them, en moue, that we are not compelled to rest the practicability of our project upon the preseut state or disposition of the duff rent governments and peoples The edifice of inter national society which we would erect must be the work of years of unremitting labour. Stone bystone would we build this temple of universal peace,and when the last is fitted to its plan, and all is prepared for opening its portals ter the fro ternisatlon of the peoples, they will he ready to give each other the hand, and form a holy alliance, to banish war and all its suite of animosities and miseries from the community. The means which we propose to employ will tend to prepare the popular mind throughout the civilised world, to espouse with delight that condition of international freternity which our system would organise. We will allude to but one class ofd these means, end that is, a series of congresses like the one which is sow convened in this hall and in this metro polis of civilisation. What do we need to enable us to orga nise permanent peace by instituting a High Court of Na- Sons ? We need in the first place the sympathy and sup port of the popular mind. In the next place we need the adhesion of governments, and their adoption of a system which public opieion has universally demanded. Well, for twenty years, the friends of peace on both sides of the At lantic, had disseminated their principles through their re spective communities. In 1843 they held a congress in L ra don, at which there were present about twety-five delegates f em the United States, and several from France and other con thiental countries. Here they deliberated upon the beet mea sures for establishiog universal peace. Severalmembers of par element took part in the proc-edings of this Congress, and gave to its object their complete approbation and support. This demonstration proved that the legislative es well as the popular mind of different countries had become interested in the organisation of universal peace:; the members of that Congress returned to their respective communities, inspired with new zeal and activity, and instituted more extensive operations for disseminating their principles. After labour ing five years, with encouraging( success, they resolved to hold another Congress, not only to give a new impetus to the cause but to ascertain the force of public opinion which had been required in its favour. They believed that the popular mind in Eastland and the United States was in an advanced state of preparation, and they desired, aa it were, to feel the pulse of the rest of the people of Europe in re ference to the cause, and to elicit their sympathy and co. operation. Consequently lest year they ventured to raise their standard for the first time upon the Continent of Europe. Although the contemporaneous circumstances of the e perch were inauspicious, the success which ',vended their pacific demonstration surpassed all their anticipations. There were present about 150 delegates from England and the United States, and an equal number from Belgium and other continental countries. The Belgian government ac: corded every facility and courtesy which the hospitality of a generous nation could inspire, and many of its eminent men took part in the Congress, and assisted at its organisation. The president, the Honourable Auguste Vie:chars, a gentleman high iu the estimation of the govern ment and people of Belgium, was supported on one side by a member of the French National Assembly, as vice president for France, and on the other by a member of the British parliament, as vioe-president for S.. I T .Tal other members of different national ametet.: 4l IMO present, and took part In the deliberations of the Comp,:J.. The proceedings were conducted In the most exeellest spirit, and its conclusions ware clear and unanimous. The Apglo- American delegates were surprised and delighted to find that there were so many on the Continent ready to unite with them in their enterprise. The Congress wu a proof to them that the popular mind everywhere was fletpreparing for the fraternisation of the peoples under a system of or ganised peace. Nor was this all. The presence and co-ope ration of members of different National Assemblies proved also that they might rely upon the adhesion of the le&la tive mind of Europe, just in proportion aa they acquired the suffrage of enlightened public opinion. Encouraged by these new indications of progress, the Anglo-American de legates returned from the Couress, and commenced a series of operations on a larger scale than they had ever attempted before. In England there were 150 public meeting held in different parts of the country, and 1,000 petitions were pre • seated to parliament in favour of establishing international arbitration—one of the measures proposed at the Brus eels Concrete. This proposition wee brought tu'ore the House of Commons on the 12th of June, by - Mr. Richard Cebdcn, and he and other able states. men, plaiderent son adoption avec des argnmens irreeniabler. Sa diectusion aura 'waren six henna, . . et tut conduit. &Tann excellent esprit, les deux partis parais tent comprendre quince talent en presence d'un principe ,acre, digue de la veneration du genre humain. Quatro tingt-un members voterent avec M. Cobden pour la propo sition, et crux-la repreeentaient les plus rands districts elec torsux du royaume."; Besides other manifestations of popular sympathy, there were 200,000 persons in England who, during the lasts!: year, have, in their petitions, entreated the British government to adopt a measure adapted to banish war for ever from the family of natiers. There have been more persons in England who have this year petitioned parliament for universal peace, than for all the other necessities of the nation put together. Does not thiefact indicate that the popular mind in England is preparing to support any prat-, peal measure for the abolition of war? And were not the eighty votes in parliament, of members representing the largest electerel districts in the kingdom, a proof that the legislative mind of Great Britain is in an advanced state of preparation to adopt such a measure ? But is not the pre sence of this great and solemn assembly an evidence more illustrious still that the great peoples of the civilized world I and their legislators too are esen ready now to co-operate in ' establishing peace sea fundamental and permanent system of society ? Here are 500 men, representing all the =gettable towns of Great Britain, from Land's-end to John O'Groat'e, who have left their homes and crossed the channel to eaglet at this great demonstration. What does their presence testify ', if no: to the complete preparation of the popular mind in England to support any measure which shall expel the enor mous suicide of war for ever from the society of nations Aan is not the presence of the illustrious Richard Cobden and hie colleagues of the Britian parliament a proof that the legislative mind of England will follow, if not lead, the will of that people in the path of peace ? And here, too, are men from different 'tart/ of the United States, who have left their homes and crossed the ocean, to testify by their presence that America is ready and waiting to fraternise with the peoples of the Old World in the organisation of universal peace. Aud one of these delegates is a member of the congress of the United States, who travelled 2,000 miles before he could reach • port at which he could embark fur Europe. And what may we say for France ? Here we meet her diato. guisbed legislators., jurists, writers, her conductors of the Press, and teeehers of religion. May we not believe that ate is ready to accept the Angle-American hand which is proffered to her this day, and to associate herself with the great peoples which that ;bad unites in establishing perpetual peace in the family of nations ? Comparing this demonstretion with the two which have preceded it, is it too much to believe that we are advancing by • ratio of geometrical progression toward the Congress of Nations which we propose ? In the Peace Congress of 1813 there were about 150 delegates, including two or three mead). rs of the Britieb parliament. In this assembly, the third in our series, we have more than GOO delegates, including twenty or thirty members of different national assemblies. If this demomeration should set on foot more extensive operations fur disseminating the ideas of peace during the next twelve months, may we not believe that, in,our next Centrum, we shall have 1,000 delegates, in eluding 100 of the most enlightened statesmen, representleg all the national imeemblies in the civilised world ? If I t should be concluded to held the next Congress at Frackfort in 1850 or 61, the friends of peace in America would under take to send a delegation of 100, including 25 or 30 members of the Congress of the United States. Thus in four or five years these periodical demonstrations would draw into the movement the most liberal statesmen in every country, who would urge upon their respeuiee eeeeennienta the adoption of the 'ovum t ease eseeekUirateen. la the meta teas lee should have prepared the different peoples to espouse that sy stem, and to sustain it with that enliehted public opinion, which, according to the authority of Loid Palmerston, is stronger than armies. (The Memoir was received with much applause.) The Abbe DEGUERRY followed and aid—Ladies and geutlemon,—After having voted arbitration amocgst nations, after asietieg at the ruin of armies, by the word of an illustrious publicist, and by the language of holy man, who is at once eloquent and moth. maticel, it remains for us to fix the titans of disarming. There is 1.0 doubt that, were an international congress in existence, which would form a Impetus crust, judging all 6W/fences, • general paci fication would be realised. In the internal &dug.- tocration of nations arbitration is justice. What is re quired, therefore, is • rational assembly of all nations, and this will be realised, because it is truth, and because truth is the thought of God, which must succeed sooner or later. It is a Samson, who sooner or later will carry off the gates of his prison. The idea of universal peace is that of God. It is the wish expreesed in the Gospel end that of humanity. None can contest this, and yesterday I was happy to hear it Bahl that the idea of war was supreme folly. (Very good.) Yes, war is an impious fully, where those who strike beet and hardest are most considered. That, surely, was nut the idea of God. (Applause.) Therefore do I, for my part, give praise to those governments who have prosecuted, es you do, the great womb of pacificati .n. (Very geed.) Look at the progress that the idea is making. It has not only been spread in the United States, but it has entered the Engle& parliament, where it was introduced by • man whose heart is still gr: star than his geeius. It was introduced also into France by the man whom you heard with so much pleasure yesterday (M. Francisque Bouvet). We French people love not to wait. When a toning is conceived we desire its imme diate execution. There are men called to different destinies, and those who build are not always called to inhale: the edi fice.' When our ancestors built, they did not propose to work for themselves only, for they knew that they were working for posterity. To dry, gentlemen, is the anniversary. of St. Barthelemy. Tao reverend curete of the Madeleine then went on to say that he liked not revolutions made in a country by strangers, a sentiment suggested by the question of the Pope, touched upon by M. Bouvet yesterday. The tendency of the peace societies was to relieve misery. With the press and its echees they would do tbie, and tLey would realise • pacification. The idea was spreading through the world. He wished to see, instead of triumphal arches, co lumn', and statues, images of Peace sitting on her throne and crowning humanity. That day would be a fine one, and , glericus, for egotism would be conquered, and Christ would reign upon earth. (Applause.) The Abbe DEW: Milli was followed by Mr. A. WALKER, a member of the Congress of the United States, for Musachuaetts, who said, that he felt some embarrassment in speaking after the lest eloquent Orator, bat the deep interest felt in the resolution now before them, especially by the American delegates, induced him to ask the indulgence of the Congress. The question of a great Pea' Congress had been discussed in America for many years. A prize of 1,000 dollar' had been for years given for the test essay on the sueject, and had elicited many admir able disquieitiens. Legislative action, too. bad in America, been brought to bear on the subject, both in particular as semblies and in comas. It was the firm opinion of Amenca that a congress dilations, a high court of adjudi cation, was necessary to azure and organise the peoples of the world. (Chinn.) The tendencies of the whole civilised wald were, more or less remotely, in this direction ; and what had already been accomplished gave distinct assurance that the whole object must sooneror later be effected. (Hear, hear.) The Oren when everybody settled his grievances in his own wayehad been succeeded by the then improve ment of trial by battle: ties modification, now justly re garded as a barbarism, was in course of time superseded by courts of justice. The proposition now was, that nations should have recourse to the same method of stttline their differences which individuals had for so great • length of time and so universally proved to be utisfactory. It was be lieved that civilisation could only be accomplished by merging the nations of the earth into one common bond of peace ; and it was determined to agitate the question until all the nations were brought to petition their respective governments for the establishment of the teibucal contemplated. (Hear, hear.) What was contemplated was the institution of a great pre. liminary congress, to deliberate on measures calculated for the common good of mankind—(Hear, hear)—on the means of effecting permanent and universal peace. (Hear, hear.) It was believed that when the friends of peace demanded this measure with proper determination, the governments wean be fain to give it. The Anti-Corn-law League had afforded a proof that when the people of England demanded a right tbirg earnestly, they were sure to obtain it ; the people of France, if they demanded a thing earnestly, must obtain it, alike wirh the people of England and of America, and so, by degrees, must it be with the other nations of the. world. (Hear, hear.) 1t was contemplated that the nations of the civilised earth should all choose delegates, in the pro. portion of perhaps one in the million, to form Ibis great pre preliminary Congress, and to sit in Landon, or Paris, or Frankfort—it met:creel little in which of the great European corsids r of the best means of putting an end to the horrible arbitrement of war. (Cheers.) The first thing that would present itself to this Congress would be the want of a great code of universal international law. At pretest What was called the law of nations was a mere collection of hrecedent', opinions, maxims, and arguments, none of them aving the authority of legislative enactment, none having binding authority on all nations : what was first to, be Considered, then, was the preparation of an international r node, definitively sad universally settling the intercourse of cations, and presiding upon general and coulpeebensi‘c mai clear p r i nc ipl es ( or the differences of nations. The beat tbind t o b e dome would b t h e ;.ititutioa of some body to which grei! Questions of international elCir.:7fltees might be refereed, a high court to which all nations mioht with confidence ap peal, a court to consist of two, or say three, members, seketed from the general body, with definite powers and definite jurisdiction, to be settled by the preliminary Congress. The periods of pesos did not seek political amalgamation : all they sought was a concentration of the moral energies of the world, much on the same principle with the system which amalgamated the American states. M. BODENKEN, a German, then begged to have the in dulgence of the meeting whilst speaking, and the mouses that made him do so must be taken into account. Gertnany bad a. yet had no orator, and he did not wish his country .o be behindbsnd. He perceived the 11 igs of many nations, but not the G rmsn iftg.. M. Bodenken then proceeded to read a voluminous memoir, in which Le showed that in Ger- many education and instruction were so advanced that iu the smallest villages the works of Vic:or Ilugo and Lsmartine were known. When Mr. Cobden visited Germany he was enthusiastically received ; end, if it had not rent so many delegates as other countries, it was because there was now little liberty of action there, and the notice given had been short. He was convinced that what Germany lad been unable to attain by war it would get by peace and by ideas. Were they not already brothers ? Though princes separated them, they were united is the people. Public opiebn in Germany had been prepared in favour of thereat. Cuagreet. The idea had been sown, and was growing, and no fear must be entertained of small German sovereign?. M. VILLECOQ saw with pleasure the great aim of the meeting before which he had the honour of standing. He belonged, he said, to a career (corals!) where the first of virtues was silence, therefore he was unaccustomed to impro vise, and he would read his speech. H. Villeooq, then, to the astonishment of the meeting, commenced reading a speech, in which he supported and defended war, Ile made , an apology for the ware of the empire, amidst marks of the greatest 'moult - blunt from the meeting. At this point he was interrupted by the president, who requested him to con fio e himself to the regulations, as well as to the question under debate. H. Villecoq abandoned that portion of his sp.( ch and passed to another, in which he commenced discussing the policy of the French republic. Here he was again stopped by M. Vicar Hugo wise begged of him nut to continue, upon which bandied. M. EMILE DE eiIItARDIN followed in a few words, saying, that it was gratifying to find that the only speech which had been delivered in favour of war was the best speech which bad been delivered is favour of peace. (einem) Mr. HINDLEY, M.P., said that before he addressed the meeting in French, which, however inadequately, be felt it fitting to do, since the place in which they were so hospi , ably received was the capital of Frenchmen—(hear, hear)—he wished to say • few words to explain, that the present ()an ent was not the same with the Peace Society, which bad for twenty years been reeking to inculcate upon the peeple of England that war was net merely a folly but a crime, a contempt of God's word, a system sf wholesale murder. (Hear, bear.) The little etre-m, however, of the Peace Society, bad in unison with that of the larger Cowen, armed the broad river whose waves were now gradually irrigating to eneficial to the countrieeol Europe. Mr. Wad ley, who was received with marked approbation, then said, in French—Gentlemen, my French brothers, I much regret that I eannotspeak your 'engage with a facility which would render my speech mote agreeable to you—and not wean some to myself. But in RIP. very circumstance I perceive eve manifest consequence of the war state. When I was rung man war was raging between your country and mine. I was forced accordingly to learn the French just as I learned the Latin language, the Greek, and the other dead lan guages now not in use amongst us. I had then never seen • Frenchman, and never expected to see one. I learned to read French, not to speak it, which seemed wholly super fluous, and now ynu Year the re,ult, that I cannot express myself an I fain would on this interesting occasion. (Hear, hear.) I cannot throw my mind into yours. I cannot mingle my heart with yours aa I fain would. (Hear, hear.) Fortunately, however, there is a secret magnetism pervading the entire of this trembly, spreading from heart to In art, a silent language speaking within us with a more peaceful elo quence than could be supplied by the must potent language that the ears could receive. (Cheers.) Now every soul feels the fervour of our principle—the principle of an 1111 l• vernal charity ; now, I do not feel that I am English as con tradistinguished from French. (Rear, hear.) I know and feel I am a mats—(cheers)—and 1 repeat with the old poet, " Homo sum of nihil humanum rtlienuni a see puto." (Loud applause.) Yes, I eo longer look in this assembly to French, tn, German, Deitch, Belgian, American—l occupy my se only with the thought which occupies all—that see are • e-elese-en ewe ail heathers. (Caen) To return to the days dray youth. The default of language I spoke of was the smallest fault of our education at that time. We were not allowed to regard you as friends, my French bre the. n—nay, we were taught to levied you as enemies, whom patriotism called up .n us to hate and to injure. (Hear, hear.) It was not only the fashion, it was the principle, with the sons and daughters of England to scorn and hate the French. But other days came. War was at an end. Peace came, and with it the Engiith visited Paris, and found they ware not the natural enemies or Fence they had supposed. Such was the grand Inuit of temporary peace. At,., now let permanent peace be instants(' by all the English ;members of the Congress saying tu French men, and to all foreigners by birth, "We are brothers. Ad:eu war! Adieu hatred! In future let charity, love, and peace be amongst all nations." Accept, by dear ' , reliefs brethren, these few words—they come from the heart. (Load cheers.) Mr. W. BROWN, an escaped American blow, spoke with much fervour in support of the extension of peace principles to America, where they were eminently nened, for the pur pose of putting an end to that terrible element of war, slavery, which now placed one sixth of the population of the United States in antagonism with the remainder. Mr. MIALL followed in an &dater. 01 some length. The resolution was then adopted with acclamation. The sitting was suspended fur a quarter of an hour. On its resumption, Mr. COBDEN addressed the meeting as follows :—I have the honour to submit to your consideration a motion con demnatory of loans for warlike pajama My °hp et is to promote peace by witholding the sinews of war. I propose that this Congress shall make an appeal to the consciences of all those who have money to lend. Ido not allude to a few bankers who appear before the world as loan contractors. They are the agents only for collecting funds from smaller capitalists. It is from the savings and accumulations of the merchants, manufacturers, traders, agriculturists, and annu flints of civilized Europe, that warlike governments can alone supply their necessities, and to them we will appeal by every motive of self-interest and humanity not to lend their support to a barbarous system which arructs cemmerce, uproots industry, annihilates capital and labour, and revels amidst the tears and blood of their fellow creatures. We will do more ; we will in every possible way expose the cha racter and objects, and exhibit to the world the true state of the resources of every government which endeavours to contract a loan for warlike purposes. The time is gone by when barbarous nations devoted to war could conquer civilised Europe, toilets, indeed, the lat ter will be so very complacent as to loud the money neces sary for its own subjugation. War has became an expensive luxury. It is no longer a question of bows and arrows, swords and shields. Battles are now decided by artillery, and every discharge of a cannon costs from 12 to 15 francs; I wish with all my heart it was ten times as much. The consequence is, that when countries behind the rest of Europe in civilisation enter upon tiZeetiLi . ii-e, they are obliged immediately to draw upon the resources of more civilised states—in other words, to rare a loan ; and how is the money thus borrowed from the savings of honest in dustry expended ? What is war in our day ? Has it learned any of the charities of peace ? Let us see. I hold in my hand an :tract from a proclamation issued at Pestb, dated 19th July, and signed " Ilaynau." Praying forgiveness for your outraged feelings, I will read it: "And individual who shell, either by word or action, or by wearing any revolu tionary signs or emblems, shall dare to support the CAW e of the rebels; any individual who shell insult one of my sol diers, or those of our brave elfin, either by words or blare, any individual who shall enter into crimi nal relations with the enemies of the crown, or who shall seek to kindle the flame of rebellion by reports spread for a sinister pu pose, or who shall be rash euough to conceal anus or not deliver them up within the di lay fixed by my proclamation, shall be put to death within the shortest possible delay, and on the spot where the crime shall be committed, without distinction of condition or sex." This was addressed to the inhabitants of Pesth ; and • few weeks afterwards this same signature appeared to a proclamation addressed to the inhabitants of the countries of the Theist, from which I will else read a short ,:tract ; Take care not to incur my vengeance by revolutionary movements. Net being able in such a case to fiud out the guilty party, I chat be compelled to punish the whole district. It on the terri tory occupied by my army, or on the rear, any attempt shall be committed against my soldiers, or if any of toe convoys should be stopped, or • courier, or the transport of provisions prevented, an immediate punishment shall he inflicted on the guilty commune ; it shall become the prey to flames, and shall be levelled to the ground, to carve as • freightful example to other communes." I ask you, whilst your flesh creeps and your hair bristles with horror at these quot.tions, has war borrowed any of the charities of Chrisianity ? Have modern warriors repudiated the practice of the barbarians of antiquity ? For my past I can see no difference between Attila and Haynon ; betwet n the Goth of the fifth and the Goth of the nineteenth century. But we address ourselves to those who, by their loans really hire and pay the men wh s commit these atroeitie , , and we say " It is you who givo strength to the arm which reurdi re innocent women and helpless old age ; it is you who supply the torch which reduces to ashes peaceful and ineffen•ive villages, and en your HMOS well rest she burden of these crimes against to vanity." I shall be told that it is useless to make au apace.' to the sensibilities of men who, with money lying unpr• ductive at the bottom of their pockets, are think ing of nothing but five per cent. I will undertake to prove, though I shall not weary you with an opinioa upon the subject, that peace will offer a tar better held
