confusion, in consequence Of the dissoiu-
ton of the old ties that subsisted, and the
loose and imperfect nature Of the new
ties that have replaced them. This will
be work of great nicely and delicacy,
but all difficulties viii yield to the tho
rough conviction that the Congress is not
influenced by any selfish or personal
views, but solely by desire to cement,
consolidate and secure the general peace
There are besides some questions of ter
ritorial limits which remain TO be more
accurately settled, particularly, il We are
not misinformed, between Bavaria, Wiz
temberg, Baden and Hesse.
The differences between Spain and
Portugal will in this Congress be discus
sed and finally settled.
1t may be, too, that the Congress will
take into its consideration, the different
military establishments to be kept up by
each power.
These are some of the principal sub
iects-others there are of less Importance.
But we have enumerated enough to shew
that peace, not DEMONSTRATION, not
aggression are the aim and objects of the
Congress.

have arrived at Macclesfield Leek and
Conhleton, to overawe this spirit of in
subordination. The spinners during the
years 1915 and 1917 were constantly
employed, while the weavers and almost
every class of manufacturers, were upon
