Inc Iersla. WITH q week later Let VS. arrived
yesterday morcing She brings nothing posi-
tive IN relation to tire Peace Conferences, the
secret being scrupulously kept by the mem
bers. A preliminary document had been 81 gn-
ed 10y the Plenipotentiares; but Lord Palmer
ston had explained that it was nothing more
than an agreement 10 discuss matters. A Bel
giar paper had published speech aud put it
in the mouth OF Count Orion, Offering, on be-
half Of Russia, to dismantle Nicolaief,, not to
refortify the Aiand Isles, to give up Kars, and
so on; but the speech was regarded as hoax
by every one. IN Paris. some persons bsgan
to apprehend difficulties in the way of a settle
ment; Dut the general impression was that
peace was az good as secured. The Emperor
had sent his Equerry, and Prince Napoleon
his alde-de-camp, and the Princess Mathide
had gone in person to attend mass at the
Russian chapel for the repose of the soul OF
the late Emperor Nicholas. In England, peo-
pie were ali talking and thinking OF the expo
sures effected by the report OF the Crimean
Commissioners and the Blue Book about Kars
In another column We publish another silly
article from the London Post. which mag De
taken as a measure alike of the information
and Of the astuteness Of the British ministe-
rial press. In this article we are informed
that the flibustering propensites Of the
United States have become so alarming TO En-
ropeans that it behooves Great Britain to move
her mel ghbors to inquire whether sometime Z
cannot be done to put down the desperadoes
who rule America. 1t appears to the Lond ~
Post, and, no doubt, also to the high : -
mighty parsonage under whose wing it is undo

did hesitate--it would be too much to say
refuse-to acknowledge TIE representative" Of
the fliouster Walker, yet still used the coz
fusion consequent upon his expedition as
pretext for refusing to receive the Envoy Of
Rivas, the elected President of Nicaragua. .

with the United States, and SO conquer Can

so exercised about the Glioustering propensi-
ties OF the United States, are evidently under
the impression that Rivas and Walker are NJ

ton and that President Pierce is playing Oh
the French whom Walker sent against the
French whom Rivas sent-fast and loose with
both. When it is remembered that the London
Post is journal of old standing. that il i
understood to speak for at least part of the
Cabinet, this discovery will certainly appear
curious
There seems to be an idea pervading th-
article of this honest British blunderer that lt
would be very good plan for the Powers of
Europe, when they are assembled in the con-
gress Of nations we hear Of, to take in hand
the morals Of the United States, and reynl ate
them in separate article or two. Strong
expression to European views is what the Post
desires. Nor have the United States any OBJ
lection. History is there to tell us that within
the lifetime of middle aged men, the despotic
Powers Of Europe assembled together to crush
out republcanism on that continent and his-
tory also tells us how well they sue
ceeded. If this operation is TO be repeated
and the area extended to America, the people
of the United States will make no objection.
They will hear with surprise that constitu-
tional England is banded with the Continental
despots but remembering after all, that as
between an oligarch and monarch the differ
ence is trivial, they will understand the coali-
ton, and see it rather with JOY than with fear.
NO one in this country fears European coali-
ton but great many persons would sing
murc dimittis, il it came in their day.
