Such were he rumours, and, as credulity :
the Child OF panic, the Funds have expert

TO notice these absurd rumuurs Is per-
haps to attach too much importance 10
them but absurdity is sometimes nlIschle-
vuus, and it is moi always safe or wise to
treat With sien contempt that whlct. most
deserves il. II We were desired To name
that particular period at which the tran-
guilty of nations as least likely 10 be dis
turbea, we should name that IN which ali
these a. rming ruuours Of war and disturb
anCe have been 80 eagerly Circulated.
But " notice these rumourS more pdr,lcu-
iarly.

gence enables US To form any opInIon as
far, we believe we may adj without tear Oh

tore as human foresight can dive into iuiu-
rIty we have, from the friendly splrlt now
happily existing, ON each side OF the Allan
lie, every ground for expecting lasting
peace. After this positive statement, We
need scarcely add, that the insnuations in
Inc Morning Chronicle oil to-day, oi persons

terly uniounied.
2. Witt respect 10 Spair and Portnsa
the differe lces that have Tor some time sub
sisted are certainly not ad; listed. It's posi-
bile that Portugal may urge as an apology |
for not giving up Monte Video, hat the |
Spanish Go, crnment might not be able to |
Keep it against the efforts OF the Insurgents,
ID that il the latter did get possession OF II,
the security of the Portuguese territories IN
that part OF the Am, ricsn Continent might |
be endangered. Then, Portugal, as set |
off against the complaints made by the |
Spanish Government relative TO Monte Vi
dec, may possibly reciprocate complaints
against the conduct oil Soain TO the Portu-
guese territories in Europe.
Blu, be this as il may, the differences,
though yet un-adjustei, will not, We may
safely predict, lead 10 any rupture between
them. Without being mole explicit, we
may conclu,ie by saying, that they will not
20 to war in opposition 10 The expressed
will and policy of the great Allied Powers;
which policy is most decisively that the
peace OF Europe shall not be disturbed.
5. This last assertion, in which we are
sure we shall not he contradicted, might
serve as a sufficient reply and reiutation OF
the last rumour, that the Congress about 10
be assembled is more likely to light up a
gain the flames OF war than to confirm and |
consolidate the blessings oil peace. But we
will not discuss this point so briefly. Ii S
well known that the Congress Of Vienna,
interrupted and broken up so Unexpectedly |
by the Eruption of Buonaparte into France,
left many points unsettled. The subse-
quent events, the treaties consequent upon
the second entrance into Paris, the estab- |,
lishment OF foreign troops in The French
territories, rendered II inexpedient to re-
assemble Congress until tie claims upon !
France had been liquidated, or sufficient !
security given ior the liquidation, aud until
France had been restored To such State oil
internal tranquility as TO render tn military
occupation no longer necessary. That pc
Rod, it is said, deemed 10y the Allied
Powers TO have arrived, and the evacuation
is TO take place peiore the commencement
of November Hence France, SO impor-
tant anu necessary party TO any arrange
ment embracing the whole Of the European
family, will be able to assist at the Congress
in more free and uniettered state than she |
could have done had the Congress been
held n the interval that has elapsed since
The signature OF the treaty at the end Of the |
year 1915. five might presume 10 hazard
a conjecture relative 10 some OF the main
objects that will occupy The useful and ho-
norable lahors of the Congress, one oil them |
will relate to the situation OF the Germanic |
Powers, now in state OF considerable |
