Save me from my friends! was the eiclamatlon
of a man in hi.s direst necessities,----save tr.e from
my friends! for they will destroy me by the excess
of their candour! Oh save me from them,
and I will dare my enemies to the very
goal. There is no deceit in their doings—
they mean mischief, and they boldly avow,
it;? So do I, but in a mwaner that lam not and'
shall not be ashamed of ! What does the subtle
master of hypocrisy say to his friends now ? Are
they in Paris ? or in Rome ? or in Turin or Milp.a ?
No, no, they are to be found in Venice, which is
now one of the confederated Republics or :nationa-
lities, or, more properly, the nothings of the
Italian freebooters under the conj-Jint protection
of the greatest deceiver of one empire and the
greatest fool of another ! What a glorir,us chance—.
no, not a chance, but a sure ctrtaiaty—has the mock
friend thrown away for the -vanquished Kaiser to
elutch with sobbing Jo y at his present deliverance.
He cannot believe it ; it is too good to be true ! In
fact, nobody believes it. The Italians won't believe
it ! The Gerw.ans are dreaming It 1...,
while the French shrug their doubting shoulders
and look: askance at each other—each fearing
to ar.ik his neighbour, ‘. Do you believe
it ?"'--Pshaw!—the Grand Army don't and won't
beli:eve it. Not they ! They now feel that they
have worshipped an idol of Clay—very brazen
'clay indeed, but whose thread of destiny is
being spun so fine that he cannot even
perceive it. No ; fate wisely tempers her medicine ;
she beguiles the victim to his doom, and then kicks
him into eternity as worthless for further mischief,
Or

" To poi It a moral and adorn a tale !"
The news from the Continent is, as the sailors
say, " all at sea !" Everything seems to be
going topsy-turvy; and why? just because
a mortal—aye, a low ambition's mortal—has
had too much of his own way and got
frenzied or drunk at his own success, and at the
blind devotion of his dupes. Yes ! The Man of
yesterday is but the despised of to-day. What
has NAPOLEON the THIR D done ? He started on the
grand profession of freedom—true Republican
freedom—equality to -all men, and so forth, as
if anything on this earth can be equal ; and he
ends by the direst, the most insulting despotism
that a devil cr,uld practice, or the mind r,f
evil conceive, At first he paid most sedulo us
most most snbrnissive devotion to the Army of the
Republic, and gradually so won or stole
on their credulity that when he thought tl4, time
wa 'ripe--he let them loose on the freedom
'of that country which he swore to defend,
"
aind assumed the purple of intolerar,,t Peace !" for
there can be no peace where m,.nd is suppressed.
And what has this wonderf..ul child of fortune
achieved? —verily, his o,wn downfall, for no
mortal was ever so lueigy as he, nor one so
tutored in the stepittrne paths of adversity.
, And yet, what is the use of experience
or adversity to perverse minds ? Even as
nothing. It only serves to make them think
that there is a special divinity reserved
for them, and them alone. Now, mark
tine coming end of all this insult to humanity : the
a' Y' dear army !—the toy of tyrants who play
with it in the fond belief that children play with
cats thinking they are all their own, but they will
awake some morning all of a sudden, and find those
playful cats turned into desperate and frightful
tigers. So will it be—nay, is even now with the
Conqueror of Italian Independence !
His much-idolized, and now most justly
disgusted, army will turn on him, and where is
the safety ? At the Tuileries ? Not there, we
fancy—nor at the Champ de Mars. The
non-restoration of Italian freedom has at :length
restored the freedom of France.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE'S reply last evening to
the inquiries addressed to his Grace, in reference to
the Hudson's Bay Company, by the Earl of CAR.
NA 'ox, must be accepted at once as in a very great
measure highly satisfactory. The Company's
licence, it may be remembered, expired as recently
as May last, after having been originally granted
some forty-two years ago. Granted in 1817, for
a peri(td of twentpone years—it was renewed upon
its first expiry in 1838 for another period of one and
twenty Kars.—the entire period of two and forty
years expiring, as we have said, as recently as the
May of this „lA:resent year, 1859. The new Colonial
Secretary his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE, in
reply to the inquiries of the Earl of CARNARvON,
now ataoucces the I,:zatif.i I,g fact that the Licence
is not to be renevrectu tin.* any eiretua,Pwes•
