position on the part Of tho governments of
Europe to thrust themselves into the do

lately by Lord Palmerston, was 10 come in

of the governments OF all countries against
the people Of all countries, and their rights
as representa- in the popular movements
on the American continent. This associa-
lion Of governments took place on the
occasion Of the instruction Of the Greeks,
md was perfected IN the form Of the secret
treaty Of Verora, signed 22d Nov, 1882,
The leading clauses nre as follows:
"Articlc |. The high contracting par
ties Icing convinced that The system Of
representative government is equally as
incompatible with the monarchical princi-
lie as the MAXIM OF the sovc 'eignty Of the
PEOPLE with the divine right, engage muiu-
ally, in Il c most solemn manner, to use all
heir efforts 10 lul on end 10 the system OF
representative government. in whatever
country it may exist in Europe, and TO
prevent is being introduced in those coun-
tries where it is not known.

The liberty of the press is the most powe r

ties promise reciprocally TO adop, all proper
measures 10 suppress il, not only in their
own States but also in the rest Of Europe.
Article 3. Convinced that the principles

which they owe to their Princes, the high
contracting parties declare ii to be their
intention 10 sustain, in their respective
states, those measures which tho clergy
may adopt, with tho aim Of ameIioralng
their own interest, SO intimately connncted
with tho Preservation o. the authority of
Princes; and the contracting parties JON in
Offering their thanks to the Pope for what
ho has already done for them, and solicit
his constant co operation in their views Of
admitting the nations"
Then follow two articles authorizing
France, in their behalf, TO put down the
instruction Of Cadiz. The treaty was
hen signed by MeiterEch for Austria,
Chateaubriand for France, Bernscu 70
Prussia, Nessclrods for Russia. The In
glish ambass dor, Dudley, dare moi sign
such document, but II was unders,ood
that the corporation Of England would be
depended upon. Accordingly. tho next
occasion which offered was that Of The o.
palat movement in Belgium. Napoleon
had given the Belgians trial by Jury
which the Dutch king, under the allies,
deprived them Of; who also abolished the
examination of Witnesses publicly, prchi
.hted the language Of the Belgians from
public documents, with many other acts Of
inlolcrabIe oppression, which compelled the
people TO resist This put the above pre-
