The News from Europe.

The:steamship Atlantic arrived at
New York yesterday morning, bring
ing news Of a highly important char
acter from Europe. The Peace Con-
ference at Paris had closed It's labors,
and IL had been announced TINT the
difficulties between Russia and tho Al
lied Powers had been adjusted. This
10 OF course equivalent TO declaration
Of peace. o
Il IL now q few days over two years
since formal declaration Of war
against Buasis was read In the British
Parliament, the solemn and important
event having taken place on the eth
Of March, 1864. This was anticipated
in this country. md the public mind
was prepared for tho news, which was
therefore less startling than Il would
otherwise have proved. The tedious
diplomatic negotiations, and the eva
siye course OF the Czm loreshadowed
the bloody conflicts which have rem
dered important the history OF the
great nations OF Europe for two years
past. So has the conclusion Of the
war been anticipated. The anxiety Of
the several powers engaged 10 termi-
nate the war, forcshadowcd the result
that was yesterday announced IN The
principal cities OF the United States,
and the intelligence, therefore, created
no excitement. ~
1t may be said that the great nations
Of the earth are again at peace. Com.
merce will once more assume her sway
on che ocean; trade will return to lis
natural channels. and speculations
based on the probabilities OF war on
peace, will cease. Tens of thousands
made money in consequence OF the
war; and tens of thousands will lose
in consequence Of peace. The inflated
bubble of speculation has ifoated Icing
enough, and it is time that it should
burst. Prices will. gradually, under
the influence of peace, and controlled
only by the laws Of trade, find theil
level, and the masses will soon be re.
lieyed from the burthensome tax con-
sequent upon the high prices that pre-.
vailed for the necessaries and comforts
of life.
Aside from the fact that the aggres-
siye spirit of Russia has been shocked,
temporarily at least. it would be DIFF
ficult to discover any good results tha,
may be expected to follow the war.
while volumes might be filed with de-
tails of the evils, the losses, and the
sutierings that it produced. 1t will,
however. enable the belligerent powers
to appreciate the blessings Of peace,
and teach them to shun the evils of
war--Cin. Gazette.

To the Members Of Tie american Par
~ Of Indiana:
Alta meeting Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the State Council, held at
Indianapolis on the Cd day Of April.
1856. after full expression of the
members upon those questions that
have divided and distracted the Amer
lean party in other States, the Com
mittec unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing suggestions. and earnestly re-
quest the true friends Of Americanism
to cooperate with them in carrying
out the views Of the Committee: That
as in 1854 we stand uncompromisingly
opposed TO the present corrupt nation
al Administration, and rs party we
stand ready 10 cooperate with any
party which aims to put an end to its
misrule. And further, we regard the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromise
an infraction of the plighted faith o.
the nation; the same should be re
stored, and ifefforts to that end fail
Congress should refuse, under all cir
cumstances. TO admit any State into
the Union tolerating slavery, mad,
free by that Compromise. Therefore
we approve OF the call for Peoples
Convention to be held on the first day
Of May next. and earnestly call upor
the American party throughout The
State to send n full delegation TO tina
Convention. Attest:

pronounce the act Of the last Legisla.
ture for the suppression Of Intep'per-
ance. Pauperism and Crime. uncohsti-

seem on the ground .of some alleged
conflict between that act and the
clause in the Constitution which pro-
yides that property shall not be forfeit
ed without due course OF law.
It's not TO be expected that a radi-
cal change in a matter OF trade and
money making however beneficial IL
may be TO the public, can be brought
about without encountering long Sc

a determined spirit, and by infinite pa
