1aTlS, thursday, otpt' o.
The retirement of NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
the appointment Of the Marquis de Nous
tier as his successor, announced IN the
lMoniteur Of Sunday last, has given rise
to no end Of speculation over here as to
what these changes portend. The Aus
trian sympathies, and consequent anti
Prussian tendencies, of M. Drouyn de
Lhuys are we'll known, and so are his
obstructive views on the Roman question.
People therefore regard his dismissal
for dismissal it really is, although he has
had q seat at the Imperial Privy Council
conferred upon him, which secures its
fortunate possessor a pension of some
thing like 1OO,OOOf. a year-as some kind
of guarantee of better understanding be-
tween France and Prussia. The COM
plete withdrawal of the French troops
from Rome, is, moreover, now considered
a matter Of absolute certainty.
According to a Florence telegram, the
French Commissioner and the Austrian
authorities have commenced the negotla-
tons for the transfer of Venetia, and the
Austrian troops have begun to evacuate
the Quadrilateral. 1t is said that 100000
Italian soldiers will Immediately be dis
missed to their homes.
The Monsteur of last Saturday publish
es the following note -
The Emperor Napoleon, in accepting
the cession of Venetia, was guided by the
desire of contributing TO remove one Of
the principal causes Of the late war and
to hasten the suspension of hostlIities.
AS soon as the signature of an armlstlce
in Italy was decided on, his Majesty's
Government employed its efforts to pre-
pare the way for the conclusion of a
peace between the Cabinet of Vienna and
t1at OF Florence. 1t was necessary to
previously regulate the cession made to
his Majesty by the Emperor Francis
Joseph. A treaty to that effect was sign
ed on the Gath Of August between France
and Austria, and the notifications have
been exchanged at Vienna. In virtue of
that act the transfer of the fortresses and
territories Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
kingdom will be made by an Austrian
Commissioner who is at present In Vene-
tia. The delegate of France will after
wards come to an understanding with the
Venetian Authorities to transmit to them
the rights of possession which he will
have received, and the populations will
be called on TO decide on the fate Of their
country. Under this reserve the Empe-
rer Napoleon did not hesitate to declare,
as far back as the goth of July, that he
would consent to the union to the king
dom of Italy Of the provinces coded by
Austria. His Majesty made known his
intentions to King Victor Emanuel IN the
following letter.:

Of peace signed between the King Of
Prussia and the Emperor of Austria.
There is therefore a probability that a
new era Of tranquility is going to open
for Europe. Your Majesty knows that
accepted the offer of Venetia in order to
preserve it from devastation, and prevent
useless bloodshed. My purpose always
has been to restore it to itself, so that
Italy should be free from the Alps to the
Adriatic. Mistress of her own destinies,.
Venetia will soon be able to express her

Two steamers, the Europa and Tarifa,
have been chartered for the immediate
conveyance Of a number of troops and
horses to Canada. The Sunday Gazette
observes that when the reinforcements
now embarking reach Canada we shall
have quite a respectable army in our
North American provinces. There are
now two brigades Of artillery and fifteen
baltaIions of infantry, of which latter
eleven are in Canada, two in Nova
Scotia, and two in New Brunswick. An
additional force of artillery, a regiment
of cavalry, and three more battalions OF
infantry will have been landed by the end
of the month, when the total of the re-
guIar forces will be about 10000 Of all

REPORT ON BRITISH GUIANA.

British Guiana, sometimes called De-
merara, was first settled by the Dutch
West India Company in 1880. After re-
peatedly changing owners the three set
Elements of Demerara, Essequibo and
Berbice were finally coded to Great
Britain in 1914. In 1881 the name Bri-
fish Guiana was first applied to the colo
ny-the three settlements being now
termed counties.
The area OF Guiana may safely be
taken at 100, 900 square miles, and will
probably be found much greater when
ever its boundaries are established.

The house seemed to take the view that there was
no necessity OF making q stancing army with q

men. The influence of the present regular army
was thrown against the subject, and contributed

year ago our political opponents, the radi-
cal republicans, were congratulating themselves
with ill-concealed satisfaction upon the assassin
alton of President Lincoln. 1t said the clergy
and the republican press, providental interfer
ence in behalf OF the country.
President Lincoln would have been so lenient
so kind, little disposed to hang anybody,
that God had removed him in order that Andrew
johnson might work out the DEGREES of Proyi-
dence in gratifying the revenges of the repubh
can party.
To-day the republicans are denouncing Andrew
johnson almost as bitterly as Wade and Davis
abused Lincoln.
One OF two conclusions follows: either the
republicans wrongly interpreted the dealings Of
Providence, or they assumed to know that o!
which they were really ignorant.
