Thom lax but wise statesmen knew well that to
:Verse was not to annihilate. They knew that by
etrerlooking the free thinking of honest and able men
they would prolong the domination of dogmatises over
the multitude, end that even if they theesedsd in
expelling for the time refractory members, the sepal-
eion would only lead to a new form of that which is
leaned Heresy. In the domain of religion these troths
may be admitted as axioms, for the history of religion
is the history of Heresy. And in political affairs the
came troths an not tees notorious. How keg was it
before the Beglish people breams coarinead that the
policy of suppression was not the policy for Ire-
land? How long will it be before the Sovereigns of
Europe wilt understand that by postponing free
opinion they are but heaping teals epos their heeds?
In most oases, indeed, the truth of them prin-
ciples is Ism apparent, because in most clues the
weight of oppression is thrown off only by some
gigantic effort after pateee has bees exhausted and

revolution is replaced not by liberty, but by military
devotees. But it is angular emough that this
country, the history of whose »rotations are con-
stently appealed to se illustrations of the neosenity
end wisdom of a cheap of dynasty, should even at
the present moment furnish a striking illustration of
the policy of suppression prodooing liberality of

If there was any place in the whole world whore
staunch orthodoxy end a Toryism of the Madvead-
Persiaa sort might hope to live for ever, it woe the
Univenity of Oxford. The' Statute. were the work

the meantime the slater Usiversity of Cambridge
was held forth as the place of soliglitanmeat. The
ealielarships and the fellowships were more open;
aad although a man who refused to siva the Thirty.
sine Articles could sot obtain his degree or ado;
the substantial rewards of distinction, still be was
permitted to reside as an undergraduate and to outset
the place of honour in the Senate Home. At
Combridge liberality of sentiment has keg prevailed.
Oxford ea it seemed to bigotted Domain of Divinity
and ignorant laymen was steadfastly parseing a
different but a happier mane. It was 'sadly but
foolishly imagined that the lase Intellects mad acipire
log thoughts of those gifted mos who bad was
the prises in this literary RepabLie, were, in
aoseresence of their nooses, to sink into apathy and
abjure progress. Bat the thing could not
be. The idea is preposterous. The trammels
in which each men felt themselves bound, only
served to irritate that enthusiasm for advasesecent
—those passionate hops. in which it is the privilege
of youth to indulge. The atms.phere sad the habits
of a university life fanned the tame: till, at lends,
within the precincts of this school, with its articles and
dogmas "of formal eat," voice. demanding freedom

Rome, to which they paned, or, startled at sank in-
evitable mesequesesa, almadosed the mimicries
themselves, sad adopted mere libeeal views.
Now, however, the tesdasey towards freedom of
opinion sad steady progress has fall away. The
wills et louden framed for a Mahlon state of
moiety must be remodelled ; the prima of fellowships
and seholarehips mast be °posed witheat regard
to pierce of birth or to religiose creed; the tinsel

passe, there mast he a literary republis, where the

title to honour shall be morality, intellect, and

tions thus indulged in by the mast aninent disciples
of the University will be disappointed; for, if we are
rightly informed, the Oxford Conamissieserti ap-
pointed ander the Ant pissed in the melee before last,
are determined to mercies their pewees to the fall.
And if they do it we used sot fear that this Valve,-
sity may yet enjoy the issalealable privilege of eds.

Here is a statement that the Esterbazy preposi-

preliminaries. The lfortaaw of Friday last sea-

In the earlier portion of his note Count Bed mys
that he mods the Austrian proposition to St. Peters-
berg after mending' the Western Powers, and it
is known here that the text of the Esterbasy propo-
sitions themselves was approved by the French and
English governments before Austria undertook their
presentation. Unless, therefore, Austria has given to
those proposition 'character with which the allies
