goo 3 faith of the Emperor of the French, who is with us
heart and soul in this contest. (Cheers.) We have a'.
additional security in the alliance of the kingdom of sa,.
(Jinja, which is not so great, territorially, as either
France or England, yet history reminds us that small
states have played an important stake in the world, an°
have exercised no inconsiderable influence on its de•-

part played by Holland, by Venice, by Genoa—smaller
states, territorially, than the kingdom of Sardinia ; and
therefore, not despising the lessons of history, but on
the other hand taking courage from the fact of this Sar-
dinian alhance, we say that while tLe compact is highly
honourable to Sardinia, it is of this additional iinpoi t.
ante, that it has joined a league against tyranny. (Hear,
and clier,.) Well, then, with this prospect before us
with the valour of our tromps in unison with •the troops
of the Emperor of France—nation• that have laid aside
ancient antagonisms, and who are now actuated by no
other feelings but an honourable rivalry as brotbera in
arms, fighting for a common cause, bound together by
the indifsoluhle ties of friendship, and acting in the truest
spirit of good faith—and above and before all, relying
upon the justice of our cause, it is impossible to believe
that

than that which will secure to Europe safety against the
future aggressions of Russia—a peace that shall not only
be honourable and satisfactory to the allies, but which
shall redound to the honour and interests of the country,
and justify the great sacrifices by which such a peace
shall have been attained. (Much cheering.) •

Three' times three cheers were then given for Lady
Palmerston, who bowed her acknowledgments.

Mr. BRIGGS, after a few prefatory observations with
reference to the kindness of Mr. Brisco as a benefactor
t. the town during the prevalence of distress, and his
general affability of character, proposed three cheers for
Mr. and Mrs. Briscoe and family, which were heartily
given, and the interesting proceedings terminated.

THE DANUBE AND EUXINE CANAL.—The French
papers publish a letter from Constantinople, brought by
the last mail, ftating that the Anglo-Austro-French com-
prny formed for the cutting of a canal from Kustendje
to Rassova (from the Back Sea to the Danube), has,
through its agent, Mr. Campbell, presented a project to
to the Porte for the concession of the work. The Porte,
previously to converting it into a firman, has introduced
certain modifications, chiefly relating to the perpetuity
of the concession, it being one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of Ottoman policy never to accord a particle of
Masanlman soil voluntarily, otherwise than for a limited
time. The work is to begin next spring, and may be
considered as regulating, de facto, the second point of
guarantee, viz., the free navigation of the Danube. The
Austrian Embassy at Constantinople has Oven its most
cordial support t ) this matter.
