from Europe is ola very important char
acter. A treaty of peace and friendship
had been solemnly signed at Paris on the
2Sth ultimo., by the allied powers on the
one side, and the representative ofthe En-
peror Alexander on the other.
The French people were jubilant over
the event but not quite so much so. as
when an Imperial heir to the throne was
announced-but there was no want of
throwing up caps, kindling bonfres, illu-
minating windows, and in short, all the
outward insignia of extravagant Joy, the
raw material for which the children of Ia
belle France are proverbial for possessing.
In England, not so much ado seems to
have been made over the event probably
the people do not see the honor and glory
to have been gained for the British name.

treasure, in which Britain has been largely
the sufferer. But in the House of Lords,

to give the substance of negotiations which
he was bound to keep secret. He could
not give the terms of the treaty signed,
but if he were allowed to guess on the SUBJ
ject, looking proper knowing and cute,
like Yankee, he should say that every
thing would be arranged satisfactorily for
England and for Europe. The object of
the war had been accomplished. The in
tegrity Of the Ottoman Empire had been
solemnly guaranteed, at least, till England
had little better chance of obtaining a
slice. Farther than slight advance in

news was of little moment in London.
Both sides in the late disastrous conflict

Some time since, the London Times full
minated its anathemas at America, and
strongly intimated that France would take
part in staying the 2 -owth, and checking
the Model Republic in its race of aggran
dizement with other nations. The Time,
being understood to be the organ of Clar
endon, is supposed in some quarters tc
speak by the card. Possibly, such may
be the intent of the two great Western
powers, and perhaps the taking of hand
in the Central American game by France
may be a part ofthe consummate policy
of Napoleon to weaken the British EN-

Russia just closed, the sinews of war would
be mostly drawn from the island nation

ofa more daring spirit than the present
Napoleon. Though the Russian war has
drawn largely upon the resources of Brit
