agreement exists between the two countries was
hardly likely to-encourage the Continental PoWers '
which wish well to the expelled Sovereigns.
Austria, who, in the midst of bankruptcy and
threatened rebellion, still clings -to her old
:policy, is, of . course, indignant that the
Emperor Napoleon should hesitate to carry out the
Treaty of Zurich. The Court of Vienna, which
ignores everything but rulers and armies, cannot
understand the inteipretation which the Empeeer
Napoleon, at the instance of England, is about to
give to the clauses regarding the restoration of the
Florentine and Modenese dynasties. The Austrian
thinks that when a Potentate agrees that such a
thing shall take place he sprees that he will make it
take place, . and is quite astonished to hear that
the French Emperor is about to come forward
with the Papal " aVonpossumus," to argue that the
right of a people to choose its -rulers is anterior- to
the rights conferred on a deposed ruler by any
treaty, and that the stipulations of Zurich. must be
held to•mean only that France recognizes the Dukes
as Sovereigns of Tascany, Modapa, earl Paaina,
should they ever be able to get back there. These
principles are not likely to find favour with the

still enough of the old leaven remains to make the
Czar hesitate at e;iving them the sanction of his

in the consciousness of its own stability, would have
been inclined to-abandon the cause of .these petty
Monarchs, and to give up the theory of legitiMaey
for the' purpose of conciliating Feance and further
humiliating Austria. . ' . . .
It is probable that, among the German Courts

a still more painful impression. There is a similarity

lithe great Powers should agree that the unity of

Germany might not be long in applying the .doc-

. The Pope has in the meantime been endeavour-
ing to youee the Catholic world. llemanism -is
now so completely the religion of decaying or sta-
tionary. nations, that these efforts have had the very
smallest success. Only. in France is thee to be
found the example of a preponderating Power
which professes to be guided by reverence for the
Clutch, and even in France the feeling of the
people is strongly against priestly assumptions.
They may make use of the Caurch as a political
engine, as an. excuse for interfering in the East, or
for arrogating a Primacy among the so-called
Latin nations, but at heart every Frenchman above
the rank of a peasant is glad to see a rebuke
administered to the hierarchy. The pamphlet
attributed to M. de la Guerronniere only expresses
the feelings of French society, which was somewhat
irritated that after the triumphs of Magenta and Sol-
ferino England should stand forth as the champion of
Wiliam liberty, and France should be at work to
restore the rule of priests and police. The French
Emperor, with the support of his people, has been
able to disregard the agitation of his own Bishops,
while the help to the Papal cause to be expected
from Naples, or Spain, or Ireland, or Mexico, is
small indeed, The pamphlet, however, has been
used by the Pope as a means of escaping from the
moral jurisdiction of Europe, and the other Powers
favourable to Legitimist preteireichis have been
equally prompt to avail themselves of the same ex-
cuse. The announcement that France and Eng-
land are in accord has disappointed the whole host
If our illwishers on the Continent, and the courtiers
who were prepared to see the maxims of liberty
hooted out of court, to the humiliation of England,
now dread that esecedents will be established ad-
verse to their own narrow and tyrannical systems.
Not out of love to the Pope or Romanism so much
as to those despotic forms of government of which
Romanism is the religious correlative, are Austria,
Russia, and more than one‘minor State now hang-
ing back from the Congress.
Shall, then, the Congress be given up ? By all
means, so far as the English people is concerned.
We do not want it—we have never wanted it ; we
have, on the contrary, looked upon it with suspi-
cion, as involving assumptions inconsistent with
international law. We have merely agreed, to join
it at the pressing instance of the French Emperor,
who declared that it was necessary for the per-
manent solution of the Italian question. Should.
Napoleon be able to bring his troupe of Plenipoten-
tiaries toe•ethar, we will send our own, but should
he fail, the remark in England will be, " So much
the better." All that will then remain will be to
recognise the Central Italian State which has been
formed out of the Romagna and the Duchies, either
as an independent kingdom or as part of the Sar-
dinian monarchy, to take our stand on accomplished
facts, and to leave the Pope and his supporters to
their remedy.— Times.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pill.•.
Female Complaints.—Ciiinate, fashion, and neglect, hurry
thousands of our daughters prematurely to the tomb, each
and all of whom would still have been their parents' pride
had Holloway's remedies been applied without delay, On
them all may rely for restoring health when natural func.
tions are suspended or morbidly sluggish. Under the
genial influence. of Holloway's preparations, beauty, vigour,
and vivacity are rekindled. The ointment should be well
rubbed over the kidneys and bottom of the stomach every
night on going to bed; the effect will be marvellous. Eight
or ten pills should be taken nightly for some little time
while using the ointment, in order to purity the blood,
cleanse the system, and correct all obstructions. • -
