fortunes of the Union must feel that time is fighting
against them. Every month that the South con-
trives to maintain its ground is so much lost to the
North. The resolute attitude preserved by the
Southerners proves their deep-rooted hatred to
Northern supremacy as well as the unanimity of
their purpose and their capacity for self-govern-
ment. It convinces Europe that the separation is
not produced by a few mob orators, but is the
firm conviction of the great body of the people.
Lord RUSSELL'S words on the opening night of
the session will, we may hope, speak across the
Atlantic, and show the angry combatants the light
in which the struggle appears to English eyes.
Ile plainly told the North that the Union was
impossible; that if they succeeded in subjugating
the South it would not be by reconstructing a
United Republic, but by dominating over a con-
quered State. Both sides have surely suffered
enough in this political struggle to learn the lessons
of that experience which convinces the most unwil-
ling. Surely sacrifices enough have been made to
the hopeless vision of Union, and it ill becomes a
practical people like the Northerners to persist in
imitating a policy they have often satirized by fight-
ing for an" idea."

" Napes, Dec. 23.

"Sire,—The confidence which we felt in the
triumph of justice and right induced us to believe
that the past year would not have rolled away with-
out your august presence having once more rejoiced
those countries which only demand their legitimate
Sovereign to make them reparation for the ills they
have endured, and to represent their national inde-
pendence. But Providence has not yet heard our
prayers. The hour of mercy and of reparation is
still retarded, and we, submissive to the Divine de-
crees, take the liberty of presenting you, though from
afar, our names and our respectful good wishes. Why
is it, Sire, that those whose devotion to your Majesty
is equal to our own, have not been able to follow our
example ? It is certain that if the suspicious vigi-
lance of our invaders had not permitted it had
not prevented it. All those who retain in their
hearts one spark of faith in truth and justice
would have unanimously united with us in an act
imposed by duty and prompted by admiration.
Yes, Sire, be this known to you, that this Neapoli-
tan people wish for, ask fin', desire you only—yo u
the legitimate heir of the august Bourbon dynasty
—you, the symbol of their autonomy—you, the
champion of her independence—you, in short,
Francis 11., the terror of the enemies of our
country, the joy of her faithful sons. The sole
thought which smiles upon us in the midst of so
much suffering and disappointment is that if to-day
we salute you as glorious in exile, when a short
time shall have passed we shall salute you once
more as a King upon the throne of the Two Sicilies,
and with you the Royal lady who shared your
dangers, who partakes with you the love of the
nation, that nation which with one voice calls for
you through your Royal birth and the inalienable
rights vested in you. Animated by unconquerable
and devoted loyalty, we approach your throne and
sign this address." Here follow more than 30,000
signatures.

SPAIN.

MADRID, FEB. 6,

It is asserted that France has asked Spain to
send back troops to Cochin China, and that Spain
has replied that she will respect the treaty which
she has concluded with that country.

Marshal O'Donnell is unwell. The friends 'of
the Ministry are said to counsel a dissolution of
the Congress. Hopes are, however, still entertained
of an arrangement taking place between the Go-
vernment and the Opposition:

The Archbishop of Canterbury and Bishop
Colenso.

The following answer from his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury to the address of the clergy of the rural deanery
of Chesterfield, on the subject of the heresies of Bishop Co-
lenso, has been transmitted through the Lord Bishop of
Lichfield to the Rev. John Hamilton Gray, rural dean :
" Addington Park, Jan. 27.

"My Roy. and dear Brethren,—l cannot be surprised at
the feelings and the language with which you have ad-
dressed me on the subject of the opinions latelyprrnaulgated
by the Bishop of Natal. They possess, as you observe, but
little of novelty to the well-instructed; and as the objections
he has raised to the authenticity and historic truth of the
Pentateuch are so familiar to all who are acquainted with
the replies given to the Deistical writers of the 17th and
18th centuries, it is to be lamented that Bishop Colenso
should not have made himself earlier acquainted withthose
difficulties, and with solutions given by leading divines of
the English Church.
"But it is still more to be deplored, for his own sake as
well as for the sake of those whose minds may be perplexed,
not certainly by the force of his arguments, but because
they are advanced by a bishop, that he should have felt
himself called upon at once to publish his crude sentiments,
which deeper study and more profound reflection might
most probably have induced him to renounce, but which
the hasty step he has now taken may, it is to be feared,
render impossible. You may be assured that no effort
shall be wanting on my part, nor, I trust, on the part of my
right reverend brethren, to vindicate the faith of the
Church in this instance, as far as it is in our power to do
so.—l am, my reverend and dear brethren, your faithful
friend and brother, " C. T. CANTAI.TR,
