The Peace Congress Conducted o
American Primcipleh.

American Principles.
BY dispatches received at our Office q
little in advance OF the event itself, we
are enabled ut very little expense, to lay
Congress at Vienna.
The proceedings were opened by Count
de Morny with prayer, after which Lord
Palmerston rose and said
That he had an important preliminary
resolution To propose, and begged the at
tention of his august audience. He had
lately been cnl ghtcned by 81 pcrusal of the
proceedings of the American House OF
Representatives, which account lie CLEANED
from the columns of the New York Herald
and so charmed WAS he with the delightful
freedom oil discussion which characterized
those debates, that he begged to Oiier 1t
resolution to the effect that IL similar grace
full license OF speech should be permitted
during the present deliberations.
The proposition of the noble lord WAS
warmly seconded by the Emperor of Aus
tria, and passed unanimously.
Count de Morny then rose and demand-
ed to be informed what they were assem-
blcd for. The only Peace he believed in
WAS pea soup. There was but one France.
and Napoleon was its prophet. He had
no hesitation in stating that the noble del
cglte from periidi0us Albion WAS cow
artly bully and tvickster. IN fact, he
might Sny that he was, i'll the most Oifen-
sive sense of the phrase, John bully. He
hoped shortly to have the opportunity, or
the white ellis of Dover, of physically
proving to the noble lord the contemplate
physical intcriority OF the Saxon to tho
Gaul, by putting both his ministerial eyes
in mourning. AS fi.ras Italy was concern
cd, lie tramplcd upon it, and upon the
81 I,,S-
He, the PontitT, was characterized by thc
mischieYoUsness of the ape, without his
agility, and the rapacity of the Yulrurc
without his courage.
Lord Palmerston rose to reply. He was
ready ut ull times to meet his distinguished
antagonist. An Englisman was always
able to lick three Frcnchmcn. They were
Il filthy, Grog-cHting race, wore wooden
shoes, aud coined brass money. lie would
beg 10 say. i'll three words, AGincOurt, St.
Helena, Waterloo.
His Holiness, the Pope, here arose. in q
most agitatcd manner, and said that in the
few rcmarks lie was about to make, in
reply tO'thc brutal and lOItlsOme attack of
the Count dc Moruy, lie should cndeavor
20 preserve that Christian 1orbehrAnCe
which was the characteristic of his holy
religion. The French Emperor was dis
sOIutc ana iONthSOme Pitoli'li WHO hcPt
an army Of occupation in his beloved Italy
and Illuminated, through the miscrean:
pen Of GuerrOvnierc, slavcring ISLANDERS
against himself AS for the CoWn: dc
Morny, lie had no words to express his
loathig for that unclenn villain. He wish
cd he had him in the Iuquisiticn, and then
hc'd let him know.
AT this stage of the proceedings, to the
great CONSERVATION of the assembly, a
double barrelIed gun, loaded to the muz-
zlc, dropped from His Holiness's pocket
Francis Joseph instantly drew 81 PEN
knife. and placed himself in an attitude of
defence. The utmost confusion prevailed.
Count de Morny produced " Derringcr.
aud rctreated to corner. Lord Palmer
ston took of his coat, aud squared at cv-
erybody.
The Pope, while opologizing for the
premature display of his weapon, begged
10 state that he held himself personally re-
sponsible for everything and anything
BE ended by throwing his Nitro into the
ring and challenged anybody 10 come on.
4 scene of the most terrible disorder
prevailed for at least fifteen minutes, and
the Congress separated in confusion.
