 Ealnouth, Dec. 1.-The apprehensons which were last week entertained Of continental war, have nearly sabsldea. 1t would appear that this alteration in public opinion throughout Eu- rope, has been principally effected by a change of ministry ln this country, and by their decla ration of non-ntervention, and of their desire to preserve universal peace, which they made on their appointment. 1t cannot be concealed, that considerable distfust of the Duke of Well lngton's non-lnterveation policy, was generally entertained throughout Europe. He was thought to manifest too strong predileetion for lcgiti- macy--for the rights of the few, in preference to the rights of the many. Our foreign details are more than usually interesting.
 The incendary ontragcs which have been committed over so great q portion of the coull- try, have, for the most part, ceased on the strict enforcementof the law, the penalties of which now await tic perpetrators. ihe evidence on the trial the prisoners, we doubt not twill show that the laborers were not alone the guilty par ties. In many cases there is good reason to be- lieye that the farmers themselves have nstigated the laborers to their lawless deeds; and in oth- ers, that they have quietly looked on for the pur- pose of arousing their landlords into a sense of their distressed state, iii consequence of high rents and tithes, with low prices for their pro. sduce.
 Ifths be correct, and we believe it is, then have they succeeded, we should think, beyon their most sanguine expectations; for not only have the landlords consented to reduce their rents, and the clergy their tthes, but sucha sen sation has been produced in the minds of the .Goyernment and the legislature, that inquiry, sretrenchment, {and consequent reduction Of tax sation) and reform of Parliament, will certainly follow. The institutions of the country will be regeHerated, and long reign of peace and hap- spiness will, in all probability, be the conse- 4uenee.
 The cause of Reform in Parliament is gath sering all irresistible force, and 1t must soon be granted, ar as Earl Grey says, it will be taken. The public interests demand it, suddenly it is dangerous. 4 few days since, and the man who avowed himself Retormer, stood self branded revolutionist in the estimation of men. who now, through their fears, sec no safety for the country putin such reform as would former ly have been demanded only by an ultra-relorm- ist. Such is one instance of the complete reyo- .lution that sometimes takes place in the minds of majority ot nation. Large meetings have beenhel1 atEdinburga rgandSheftield,a d,at whichpetit- tions for parliamentary refermwere carried with ttlhi aeclamations.
 We learn from Copenhagen that an expedi- tion which sailed from that port May last, suc- ccedcd in reaching the eastern coast of Green land, where some Norwegian colonisis settled eight centuries ago, and to which all access had since been prevented by ice. The expedition found there the descendants of the primitive col onists, who still profess Christianity, which was carried thither by their foiefathers their Ian guage is that of the Norwegians of the tenth century.
 The majority of nearly all classes of the citi- zensof Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, ,and eycniicge, particularly the armed burghers, are, it is said, in favor of the accession of the Prince of Or slnge, or one ofhs sons, as the means of restoring peace and confidence.
