SelNeS Uy interference. Such course NOulu
have been disastrous for the ultimate liberties
Of Europe. We are now gaining strength by
peace, which, when the less disciplined races
around US, prosraled by their mutual contests,
shall have become wiser from adversely, will
enable us 10 exercise living influence for their
advantage.
AUSTRIA IN ITALY.
The exactions Of Austria have interrupted the
negotiations for peace with Sardinia, which
were just supposed to have been completed
Among other things they are said TO have de-
manded an alliance offensive and defensive, and
consequent contingent Of 10000 men, TO as
sisl them against Hungary. Now that the
French are in possession of Rome, they will
perhaps modify their tone.
Hostilues have been recommended against
Venice, but that city holds out. The VeniIians,
moreover, are said to have made a successful
sonle and to have captured two Austrian gen.
erals.
The German Union question is not much
nearer TO a solution. True to her character,
some Of the Kings take advantage of the pre-.
sent lull 10 attempt to repudiale their recent
concessions. Hanover has issued a circular
declaring that she took part in the recent draft
Of the central constitution issued from Berlin,
"from feeling of imminent danger" but that
1t contains paragraphs Of much too centralizing
a nature. Saxony, the other power which as.
sisted in the preparation of the draft, now also
nterposes obstacles.
A meeting, however, has taken place at Co.
tha, of the most influential members of the late
German parliament, known as the Gagern pat
~, which may do good. About 100 attended,
and they came TO a resolution to recognize un-
reserved!y the plan for constitution as con.
tained in the Berlin draft.
AT Berlin, it is announced, the state Of siege
is TO cease on the 9Th instant.
From Baden the accounts show that the Prus-
sian troops have succeeded in putting down the
insurrection. There have been few farther
! fights, but the remnant of the insurgents are
now shut up in the fortress of RastadI, where
they are negotiating for capiIuaIion. The
whole affair is, therefore, virtually al an end
CHINA.
With regard to the intelligence from China,
mentioned in my last, Of The Emperor having
refused 10 comply with the stipulation by which
the gates of the city of Canton were to be per.
manently opened TO foreigners on the 9Th Of A.
pril, it appears that our Government have re-
solved not 10 enforce this right by direct re-

ed but the plea of the Emperor, that he is un-
able to grant il at The present moment, without
danger, has met with consideration, and il has
been resolved TO allow him some farther time
before proceeding 10 extremities.
DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
In London the subject of excitement during
the present week has been the reelection Of
Baron Rothchild. Ii was supposed that he
would walk over the course, but at the eleventh
hour young tory nobleman, Lord John Man
ners, the son Of the Duke of Rutland appeared
as candidate. He was proposed by Mr.. Thorn.
as Barring, and was supported by the cOnserva.
tive party, but nothing could have been more
total than his defeat. He polled only 28l4
votes, while for Rothchd the number was
COLT, giving majority of 1908. The defeated
candidate was known chiefly by his monkish or
Puseyilish tendencies, and a book Of poems,
which he was silly enough TO publish about
years back, gave his opponents an admirable
means OF exposing the nature OF his quaIifica-
lions to represent the commercial emporium OF
the world.
In Parliament there has been nothing of in
teresI. Feargus O'Conner's motion for the
peoples charter, namely, annual elections, vote
by ballot, equal electoral districts; no properly
qualification, and payment of members, has
been negOlivod by 222 against 10.
