Farther POINT, Aug. 9th

erpooi on the 9th ult., has passed this
point, bound for Quebec. Her advices,
which are four days later, have been oh
tanned.
The Emperor of the French had receiv-
ed the congratulations of the diplomatic
corps at St. Cloud. The Pope's Nuncio
was the spokesman for the ambass adors.
In reply the Emperor said that Europe
was SO unjust to him at the commence
ment of the war, that he was happy to con-
clude a peace as soon as the honor and
interests Of France were satisfied. As a
proof of his moderation he trusted the
peace would be enduring.
The general news is unimportant. Eng
land demands the general disarmine Of the
recent belligerent powers as condition
for the taking part in the European Con-
gress.
1t is reported that Count Walewski has
submitted plan for the consolidation Of
Italy. It comprises seven States, and the
presidency is nominaly given to the Pope.

Naples alternately. The strong places to

ton, are to be divided as follows: Parma
1; Modena /; the Pope 2; Tuscany 2;
Sardinia 8; and Naples 3.
GREAT BRIrA1S.-In the House of
Lords, Lord Lindhurst defended himself
from he charges Of Mr.. Bright, on account
of the war. He asked if the Admiralty
were arming the French fleets with rihed
cannon.
The Duke of Somerset replied in the
and said that although Eng
land had an improved cannon in progress
of manufacture, it could not be ready for
some time.
In the House of Commons, Sir De Lacy
Evans moved for the appointment of com
missioners to inquire into the National de-
fences, and report what improvements
were possible. 1t is understood that the
government has assented to the substance
Of the resolution. The government, how
ever would not assent to the motion, but
were willing to the appointment of a COM
mittee to impure what permanent fortifica-
tons were necessary for the defence Of the
dock-yards, and arsenals, Sir De Lacy
Evans resolution was negaiived.
THE PEACE CoNFERENCE'-NothinG of
moment has transpired in regard to the
Conference at Zurich--nor is it known
whether Sardinia would take part. A
dispatch of the 25th from Rome, however,
says that the representatives of the three
powers were expected to meet at the end
of July.
1t was vaguely rumored in Paris on the
25th, that Napoleon would soon visit Lon
don.
The London Daily News believes that
the scheme of the Italian Confed
Grafton may not have been formally struck
off from its prOgrame, it is not now insis-
ted on by its author, and that but little
more will be heard Of it.
The French fleet has sailed from Lizzeda
and it was reported that portion of the
French army had begun to leave Italy.
Count persigny had arrived in Paris
from London. 1t is said that he took
wi him an assurance that England would
give her adhesion to the Congress, on CON
dition of general and immediate disarma-
ment.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times is informed that the English govern
ment has offered to send a representative
to the Congress, provided that France dis
arms The French Emperor agreed to do
50, on condition that England did the same,
that England consented on condition Of a
general disarmament by land and sea; that
France will begin the movement, and that
the English government is very we'll salts
fed with the conduct of the French EN-
peror.
The Independence Beige gives a report
that the proposition for disarmament pro
ceeded in the first instance from Napoleon.
1t is asserted that the military convention
between France and Austria, relative to
Italy, has been concluded and that Lom-
hardy is to take fair share of the nation
al debt.
The Paris Moniteur of 26th ult con
tains the following: 1t is endeayored IN
England to attribute to France the causes
of the English national burdens, but the
English are deceived merely in order to
further the National defences.
The exageration Of our ornaments is to
justify considerable increase Of the budg-
ct fol the army and navy. A comparison
of the budgets Of England and France will
show that these considerations have been
enormous. Since 1915 the army expen-
SEES of England increased 200, 100000
francs-the estimated expenses for 1860
show total of more than 650,000,000
francs, while the French army budget for
1860 does not exceed 463, 100000 francs.
One therefore asks wheter it is to France
and her extraordinary ornaments, that the
heavy burthens which weigh on the Eng
lish people are to be attributed, or wheth
er these enormous expenses and taxes
which are the consequences of these bur-
dens, must not be attributed to other rea-
sons.
The Paris correspondent of the Herald
saws that there is something like 200, 000,
000f unexpended out of the late loan, and
it is understood that the surplus will be APP
piled to the navy.
The Paris Patrje, referring TO the above
articles from the Noniteur, says that France
has done everything to free England from
the nightmare Of invasion, in order to re
store to her calmness and repose. If I'M
successful England can only blame herself
