From the Quebec Ca-etfe, Of Dec. 1.


From she Quebec Ca-etfe, of Dec.I.
We received on Sunday last regular files OF Lon
don papers by the September mail brought TO HALIFAX
an the Duke ofMontros Packet, which arrived there
IN the 2ist Oct.
We are enabled by an attentive pcr,,sa Of these pa
lers form notion OF the of European poll
rss At the latest date. These notions must however
be supposed TO be very i,nperi:t, when formed from
the contents OF the Newspapers half ct which Is
permitted to publish only ~hat is agreeable to the 60
rcrnment otthe coantriesn which they published
add the other half publishes every thing that may suit
he appetite ota purchaser, AMI sometimes the purse
Of an employer.
The King ofFrance is evidently laboring for the
S,ease Of that country snd Of Europe hut he has
people to deal with, disposed to be dissatisfied and
deeply mortified bs the events which placed him
the throne.
Austria has lald hold of Italy az her share Of the
spells of The Great Empire. She iortics her power
IN that qusrter, by wrestling tho Tyrol from Bavaria,
and looks TO her former prePonderance in Germany
Prussia turns ionsIng eve towards the Rhine,
and prepares toinclude SaSo.y within her domnions
The Russian Eagle triumphant in the north
fis flight has been indeed glorious beyond All his
petitors. Tho Emperor OF Russia, by his hrmnt SIS,
moderation and justice, conquered Bouaparte. His
riildness and good faith rallied around him all those
~hom the harshness and violence Of his adversary
PEELED. Poland will move in his sphere sacrifices
10 peace may be expected from him than from any
other Continental Sovereign. He afford more ;
ter Russia sunquestonsby, the country OF Europe the
most secure against y foreign enemy.
Nsreat britaIp anu Holland seem to have united
terests great part of the low Countries dest-
ned to be sdded to the latter The interest ct Eng
Iandi peace, and setting bounds to the power of
France and the Northern Powers, Prussia, Holland,
snd England will prcponderate in the n. W.st Rus
sa in the north, Austria the sorth asd France in the
west. May they ail be htlancedin peace
Spain seems to be ont Of the European system. The
inquiston and the claims of Charles w tn. father of
the reignng Sovereign, chiefly to occupy the
government of that country. The Kingdom is in
~ unscttleds state.
Another Sovereign haslately been restored to the
high rank he held before he stripped OF his domin
otis by the French. His temporal power is nothing
cut his spiritual influence is great We speak of the
sovereign Pontf The most remarkable act of his
temporal authority since his return Rome has been
che pardoning Of all his subjects for political Offences
fnd the proposed erection offs monument in that city,
20 which all nations invited contribute for the
purpose of perpetuating the memory of the great
vents which have recently restored many princes
their thrones, and independence to nations
Among the acts OF his pontfcal authority is bull da-
Ted the 9TH Aug recstabshing the order OF Jesuits,
TO relieve the spiritual wants ofthe Catholic worl,l
without any distinction Of people and nations This
measure, together with the rc-estblshment of the In
QUESTION in Spain, seems 10 have created great sensa
on IN England, and which will probably proong the Pc
rsed of Cathois emancipation in Ireland.
There seems to be general tendency in Europe 10
revive Oil institutions, and revert to the order OF
sangs which existed prior the revolution in France.
We had nearly forgotten TO mention the most pro-
uinent topics OF the English newspapers We think
Joanna Southoote must rank as the first next the
Mermaid o.! Margte, and last of all the in Anne
flea. Some of their private Correspondence in
Montreal and Quebec, however, occasionally attempt
toJos their memories this subject, and tell them
with what deporab.e want of foresight and energy" il
y conducted. We find, from ef those "prlvate
Correspondents" that our army disgraced even
before the 10Th July. Thegood London Editors an

Wrmg-there has been nothing dong there miserable
dribrt-like warfare of your twenty thousands,
