: The struggle between the Tories and
the Liberal party, under the leadership of
Mr.. Gladstone is far from being termin-
ated. Your readers are no doubt sufi-
GENTLY we'll acquainted with the outlines
of the existing differences, to render a
repetition of them at the present occa-
sion unnecessary; nor do pretend to
give you a chronicle of the principal
events, which you become acquainted
with sooner than letter can reach
your shores. ] consider it my task to
describe to you the spirit in which the
Parliamentary discussions are received
by the people and which is not tele-
graphed to the United States. 1t is
generally believed that the Queen will
uphold the Ministry and that she ap-
proves of the conservative course pur-
sued by Disraeli. 1t cannot be denied
that even outside of the acknowledged
Tory party and their followers, large
number of our Intelligent citizens are
opposed to the separation of the Church
from the State and that Mr.. Gladstone s
motives for keeping the matter before
the people do not appear to be of an en-
tirely disinterested nature. Still, if
Mr.. Gladstone advances his own ambi-
tious purposes, he is at the same time
on the side of progress and justice. The
irrepressible conflict must and will end
with the separation of Church and State,
even though it should lead to the dis
memberment of the English Church it
self as State institution.
The events transpiring in France are
minor in Importance to those of Prussia
and the North German Confederation.
The reception which the Crown-Prince OF
Prussia has met with during his last visit
in Turin and Florence is sure testimony
of the sympathy existing between the
people of Italy and the German nation
and the gratitude which the former feel
for the substantial services rendered by
the Prussian army to the restoration and
unifcation of Italy. Political union and
the introduction of liberal system OF
international commercial intercourse is
at present the principal aim of the ma
tions on the Continent. The work Of
the Zollverein Diet at Berlin promises
in that respect to be fruitful of good re-
suits, and in late session of the North
German Parliament a treaty of COM
merce and navigation was adopted be-
tween the Bund and Spain. Another
treaty is soon to be concluded between
Switzerland and Italy for the better or
ganization of the commercial relations
and thelaws of emigration to and from the
two countries. Austria is not behind hand
in the general race for internal improve
ments, and the Emperor gives renewed
proofs every day of his willingness and
serious endeavors to unite the Hunga-
rian with the German element in his do
minions. 1t is said that Klapkei is
going to be nominated Hungarian Min
lister of War. An effort had been made
to bring about an understanding between
the left of the Hungarian Diet and Kos
suth, but without satisfactory result.
In Rumania the excitement caused by
the i'll treatment OF Jewish families con-
tinues, and troops had to be sent to the
seat of war, in order to prevent further
outbreaks of hostilities and acts of vio-
lence.
