THE ST,ITESMAN.

LONDON:
TUUILIRA Y. JULY 22, IRIS.

The affairs of thP N ~th, as the most important i
on the political tapis of Europe, occupy the chief
attention of the ardent politicians of theday. The
most sagacious, and best informed, are at a toes -to
infer whether the Armistice will be renewed .or twist.
If the latter he the case, notice of its rupture must ,
have been given by one of the contracting parties a
week ego, and we may hourly expect intelligence Ur
that eff*.ct. For our own parts, notwithstanding so
much reasi,ning to the contrary, and in defiance of
the as ticle from 4tralsund, as inserted in our Paper
or y e te.day, we incline, and strongly so, to believe, ,
nat at lea-t a Congress will be held, under the hope
and endeavour to effect a general pacification. A Con-
gress, however is much easier collected, than a peace
concluslptl. Upon the principles and wishes of 130-
NAPARTE, the interests of Eugland are to be left out
in a continental peace. Ile objects to our maintain-
ing any material influence there, alleging, that we ban.
no possessions, and ought to have nautilus that quarter
of Europe. lie would come to terms of paci6e,ation with
his continental enemies by his unitedly confederates' in- ,
to rests lirst,and then he would coma it with the maritime
states upon s< general peace with England. Against
the very outset of this plan, the'Cabinet of Great
Pritain has set its face, and no wonder it should be
su. Its negotiating friends, and friendly mediators,
precede their pacific briefs, by throwing oat a hint of
e,l a hl ishing a security against a new war,by layi ig down
a basis which shall constitute a kind of " renewed ha-
lance of power." This 'declaration irritates oar invete-
rate foe: and indeed, according to Our idea of it, it is
little better than a cabalistic phrase. It is to him
what the first proposition to demolish the fortifica-
tions of Dunkirk was to the Court of Versailles.
That Court, however, did at last consent to the I
grating dem' and. We fear it will not be so with the
Court of St. Cloud. The business of a general pa- !
cification, under the greatly altered and surprising
state of Europe, will be tardy and complicated ;+
yet Prussia and Russia must want peace ; and as to
the King of ihrietx, he cannot of himself keep
the hail its motion. Though we say keep the ball in
motion, we do not mean that moqon which it derives
hula the powder is the chamber of a moon. All
•

to raise his ♦oice against so crying a dereliction of
every thing like national prudence ! These intoxicated,
trumpeters of war, who would sound the last note
in hazard of every thing, hint at the expediency of
an expedition to the South of France, composed
chiefly of militia, and they go so far as to name
proper and spirited Commander for the occasion. We
cannot wonder, but . must admire a zeal surpassing
ordinary bounds, as excited by the late exhilerating
circumstances ; but nothing, we affirm, no object,
however alluring, or inviting, should tempt a British
Minister to contemplate, for a single moment, I pro•
position, which we do hope and trust, and even be-
lieve, could only arise in the breast of an Editor of a
Newspaper, whp had some interest as a tailor, or
partner of a clothier or contractor for the army, and
wh• expected thereby to profitfrom the extraordinary
accoutrements-of so novel a force. A Paper of this
morning has reiterated the scheme of an expedition to
the coast of France, but 'without venturing to ro.

DISTMATE Court.scs..—A party of billowy!,
armed with bludgeons, &c. met yesterday morning,
pursuant to agreement, in Kilburn Fields, to settle
a dispute which occurred at a public-house, in the
neighbpurhood of Dyot-street, At. Qilees, a few
nights since. The combatants arrived at sia o'clock,
and fought a desperate battle for one hour and thirty
minutes (a large rope ring having been previously
formed, which extended nearly the whole length of
the field). Each party, respectively consisting of six
persons, set-to, with their antagoniis, and several
cut heads and broken arms were the result of the
battle. Two of them, named Fagan and Walsh,
'were carried out of the field, on a shutter, to the
Hospital in nearly a senseless state. Three others
bad either their legs or arms broken, and were con.
veyed to the shop of a neighbouring surg .ost, who
examined their wounds, and they were afterwards
conveyed home in a coach.

TilE LATE JOHN 11 UNTINOTON !—After the de-
molition of Mr. Huntington's chapel by fire, in
Margaret-street, the richer part or his congregation
met together, and resolved to build this eccentric
Preacher another chapel, in order to allay the
good man's grief for the loss he had had, and to en-
able him to further the great work. of faith !—At
length the new temple was raised, at' an cspence
of nearly nine thousand pounds, and a day was
appointed for the solemn opening !+--But lo !
ors the mortal% of that day, he is said gravely
to have
_informed his selected friends, that he had
beep Illuminated ~by a Vision, on the preceding
night, which informed him,, that there would be
neither luck. nor grace attendant on their new spi-
ritual estahlistront, ifs it was not made his own per-
sonal freehold, before he should consecrate it by
holy eloquence !—The result of this disinterested .
timatiou was, that each of the Subscribers resigned
his share In favour of the pious men, and the Chapel,
as it might be imagined) prospered/accordingly !
