IHE CANADA,s NIAILs. q


TIE CANADA,S MAILS. -
The mails by the steamer Canada arrived in
this city yesterday morning. There is nothing
ofimportancc to add to the dispatches containing
the news by her already published,
The ceremony of churching the Empress of
France, whose health was very delicate, was per-
formed on the I'd inst, at the palace of the Fui-
cries The Empress remained during the cere-
mony seated in fauteuil. The Bishop of Nance,
the principal almoner to the Emperor, oficiated.
The Emperor was present.
The young Count de Paris, grandson of Louis
PHILIPPE, has refused to acknowledge the Duke
de Bordeaux as the legitimate King of France,
but adheres to the principle asserted in the rcso-
luton of July.
The London Times speaks as follows ofthc
state ofItaly:
an the evils which foreign rule brings whit
I-insolcnce on the one side, bitter hcartrendings
on the other, wantUn and wholesale arrests, de-
Iation, forfeiturcs long and unjust mprisonmcnts,
sentences out of proportion to the offence COM
mitted prevail in the regions which arc subjec-
ted to German sway. Indeed, Italy cries aloud
to all men who have eyes, hearts and imagina-
tiOns, to see and feel for the wrongs of humaDi-
ty. Compared with this enduring and organi-
scd oppression what are the suffcrings even of
Rayah from outbursts of MuSscllnan violence,
or the subiugation of the Russian serf who has
neither memory nor anticipation of anything
different from his present lott
The remOnstranceS of Lord Clarendon before
the Conference, the representations of the Sar-
dinian Plenipotentiary, the universal feeling of
England the good will of the French Govern
ment, give hopes at last thatthis reign of evil is
about to be brought 10 close. 1t remains to
take active measures for carrying ont what the
whole world feels must be done. The late Con-
ference was congress ofnations, with the same
moral right Of interference as that which met Z
at Vienna forty years ago. All distinction of

1t seems to us that the proper course to per-
sue would be that Great Britain and her allies
shOld require that after certain date all foreign
soldiers should cvacuate the peninsula. All fu-
turc occupations should be equally prohibited.
Europe should no longer consent to this system
of States produced by foreign arms. As in In
dia, such guarantee to n faithless and wicked
sovereign leads him to contcmn the natural de-
mand of his people, secure that resistance to his
tyranny will be at once crushed by the power of
foreign bayonets. There is in every iendcpen-
dent community limit to oppression. Even
worm will turn, and the most facile and cncrvat-
ed slave will some day rise against the prolonged
abuse of rulers. But where the tyrant can call
in foreign help this natural check ceases to exist,
and the people are indeed in evil case. II, how
ever, it be beyond our strict right to interfere
ourselves, we may vet determine that no one
else shall interfere. Wcmay demand that Pope
and Cardinal, King and Camarila shall deal I'M
aided with their own people; and that if Italy
rejects them brute force shall not carry them
| back in triumph.
