AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Dec. 16.
A leadint article on the result of the Belgian
election, which is in the Oesterreichische Zetung of
this day is calculated to produce a deeper impres-
sion on the minds of the Austrians, as well of high
as of low degree, than all the pastoral letters and
Jesuitical homilies which have been addressed to
them since the conclusion of the Concordat. The
article is too long to be transferred to your columns,
but the following extract will convey its mean-
ing :—"Although the Papal .Government,
unaided, would not be able to maintain
possession of its territories, it has recently
obtained vict )ries equal to those obtained by Gre-
gory VII., Innocent 111. and Sixtus V. The
policy of the Papal See in 1847 gave such offence
to the great Catholic Powers that it appeared as if
a lung time must elapse before the Church could
regain its influence ; but she is as powerful, .
in-
fluential, and triumphant as she was in the times
of Louis XIV. If a great event had not a feel
days since occurred in a small State, the world
would have been justified in believingthat the wheel
of history was moving backward, and would not
come to a stand until it reached the court-yard of
Canossa, where temporal power was trod under
foot by spiritual authority.* The issue of the
Belgian elections is neither a simple party.
triumph nor an occurrence of mere local
importance. It is a great historical event, which
goes far to prove that the successes of the
Church during the last 10 years have not been
obtained over the masses of the people. The
word Ultramontane' can be applied to single
men, and even to classes, but not to nations. In
Sardinia, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France,
on the Rhine, in Austria, and even in the
domains of the Church, the great masses of the
people are not ITltramontanists. To the Ultra-.
montane party belong many men of high in-•
tellect, pure character, and elevated position, but;
still it has singularly little real power. Victories;
obtained over the masses are generally durable is A
their effects, but not so victories obtained over
individuals or classes. If the result of the elec r
tions had proved that the Belgian nation ar r
proved of the policy of the ultra-Catbol to
party, it would have been a tremendous triumph
for Rome. The reverse was the case, and eons s-
quently Rome has suffered a tremendous defea t.
Ultramontanism may .find supporters in UniverE
ties, in Governments, and in palaces, but sooner
later it must give way to the opposition offered I Or
the masses of the people, with whom it finds It°
favour."

* This is an allusion to the Emperor Henry IV. °f
many, who, being clothed in penitentials, waited I"—,
days in the court of the castle of Canossa'before he
admitted to the presence of the Sovereign Pontiff Grl.4°,„--"01
VII. The castle belonged to Mathilda the Margrer„.°id
Tuscany, who was on remarkably intimatei terms With
Holiness.

THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS

AND PASSEIV GEES.

"MP.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's stealu-shiP*
Nemesis Captain Thomas Black, arrived at Southatun
ton at 11.30 a.m. yesterday, with the heavy portion 04
the India and China mailq, in charge of Lieut. Irwin!
R.N., Admiralty agent. She left Alexandria on the 19 "
inst., Malta the 9th, and Gibraltar the 13th. Between
Alexandria and Malta the Nemesis experienced stroriF
head winds; from Malta to Gibraltar light winds
heavy rains • light north-easterly winds along thew ostesa
of Spain and Portugal;; south-westerly winds, th
heavy north-westerly swell across the Bay of %Heat;
and fresh south westerly winds, with heavy rains uP
Channel.

of the sth inst., and they were landed on the 7th.
The steam transport Euxine (Peninsular and Oriental
Company), with the 3d division of the 69th Regiment on
board, arrived at Gibraltar on the Bth at 7 a.m. , and
having taken in 290 tons of coal at the New Mole left at
the same hoar on the 9th for Malta and Alexandria.

The Peninoular and Oriental Company's
Indus, with the India and China mail'smofan; the
4th
Southampton, anchored in the Bay between from
11 and 12
10th
p.m. on the 9th, and at noon on the "ssteamer
resumedher
voyage.
The Dutch brig Cornelia, which drifted over to the
other side of the Bay during the night of the 7th inst.,
was found on tits Bth by the steam-tug Orient, abandoned
by her crew and touching the ground. The Orient took
her in tow, and having been supplied with chain and
anchors from the shore, she was, in the afternoon, safely
moored in the bay.
The following is the report of the disaster suffered
by
prosecuting her voyage om
Live! pool to Australia, which, as reported by the Teglig
steamer, was towed into Gibraltar Bay, from off Cabrita
Point, on Saturday, by the steam-tug Orient :
" The James Booth, from Liverpool for Melbourne
with a general cargo, in lat. 31 N., long. 19 W., exp
enced severe weather. On the27th the foremast gave way
by the rigging, every exertion was made to save the main-
mast, but, at 3 p.m. on the following day it broke by the
board, bringing down the wizen-topmast and all above
it ; part of it fell on board and the remainder over
boats,
board, smashing pumps and pump-gear, tw
deck.house, after-belch, rails and stanchions and every-
thing within its reach, the sea at the time making a
complete breach over the ship. The master then gave
orders to cut and clear away, in order to get at
pumps, to ease the ships for fear of more damage. The
mXt day rigged jury masts and bore for Gibral being
the best port at hand for making good the damtar, age aus-
tsined. The ship is leaky and will have to discharge to
effect repairs."
The French vessels Henri, and Lucie, Captains
Quirval and Fabre, and the Spanish ones Carmwrecked
elita and
Do.; Amigos, Captains Ronan and Joy, were
on ttie 30th ult. between Palarnos and Guixols. Two
women and a child who were on board the Henri
perished ; no other personal casualty occurred.
Gibraltar exchanoes on the 12th inst. were quoted as
follow :—London 90 day's date, 49i ; Paris, ditto

bound to the southward.

THE PACIFIC.

The arrival at Southampton of the mail steamer
Parana fro?, the West Indies puts us in possession of
files of Parana papers to the 23,1 ult.
The steam-ship Rdivia, Capt. Johnson, from Callao
Nov. 11, had arrived in Panama Bay on the morning
of the 21st with the mails from the South Pacific coast
of the following dates :—Valparaiso, Oct. 31 ; Lime)
No. 11; Paita, Nov. 16.
From Chili we learn that during the last fortnight no
favourable alteration had taken place in the money-
market, which still continued distressed. Credit sus-
tained itself, which proved much as to the confidence
reposed in the solvability of the merchants. Bills on
England were at the rate of 46 and 47, and the interest
on money remained firm at 16 per cent. on good securi-
ties. A very small remittance goes forward by this mall
for England. Provisions were very dear and scarce, and
a great, deal of distress was felt among the labouring
population. This mostly applied to the southern pro•
vinces, auel a subscription has been raised in Valparaiso
to alleviate as much as possible these sufferings. Congress
was still sitting, and the railway loan' of 7,000,000 dole.
had been passed and approved by the Senate. A decree
permitting the importation of sheet iron free of duty had
been passed. The affair of the Sportsman, captured in
the port of Santa Maria, where she was loading coppFr
dre without a Chilian permission, still remained. in
abeyance, but it was well known that th
Minister and the French Consul luid demanded
satisfaction for the act. The Sportsman rWA still

is said, claimed 100 do a

At Callao the National Convention had just been dis-
solved by actual force ; in fact, the Dispntados were
driven from their seats at the point of the bayonet. Cas
tills had public opinion with him, and, although there
had been an attempt lo shift the responsibility on the
shoulders of Colonel Argueda, yet, now that the public
had decided in its favour, it was expected that the act
wculd be acknowledged by the authorities.
