' The Paris Monz'teur' gives the follow- ing ekplanitory circumstances attending the armistice :-â€"- Tlieigreat neutral Powers exchanged communication with the object of offering theirimediations to -the .Belligerents. Tlieir‘first act was to effect an armistice” but the (endeavor to bring about this re- sult was not successful until some days ago, ivlien the French fleet was about he- ginning‘l’iostilities against Venice, and. the new conflict before Verona was imminent.‘ The Emperor, faithful to his sentiments of moderationiand anxious to prevent the useless effusion of blood, did not hesitate to assure himSelf whether the disposition of the Emperor of Austria was conform- able to 'his own. . It was the duty of the two Emperors i to immediately suspend hostilities, which mediation- could not render objectionable to theEmperor of Austria to haveshown similargintentious, if the armistice was concluded. Thectwo Emperors had an interview on the; morning of the llth inst., at Villa Fianna. The Emperor of Austria was accompanied by Gen Hess, Grunnc, Mollner, Kollenstien, Roming, Schitter and others of his staff. TuaIN, July 11.-â€"'l‘lie Official bulletin publishes the text of the Armistice, in addition to the articles already M known. The-result of the interview between the Emperors, has been the conclusion.of peace. The following is a telegraphic despatch from Napoleon to the Empress, announc- ing the fact :â€" VALLEGGIO, July 11.â€"“ Peace is .signed‘between the Emperor of Austria and myself.” - The basis of the treaty is. that the Italian confederation is .to be under. the honorary presidency of the Pope. The Emperor of Austria concedes his rightsto Lombardy to the Emperor ofthe French, who transfers them to the King of Sardinia, but she will form an integral part ofthe Italian confederation. The, .Emperor of Austria preserves 'Venice. ., The Daily News city article says funds on Tuesday opened quiet‘ and busi- ness remained stagnant until about two o’clock, when consolswere quoted at g ' per cent, lower than on, Monday. Influ- cential buyers, who are ‘ believed to act: on good foreign information, then' c'iii'he for- ward, and by three o’clocka r.ise..of a pen .cent had taked place. . ‘ ' - The Daily News affirms that the just hopes and expections of Italy are deceived. History will call the Emperor to a ;-strict .acc0unt for having made war on false pretences, and signed a mock and ,selfish‘ peace that leaves Austria impre- . gnabfy' fortified in the heart of Northern Italy-fâ€"cominits Central Italy to the pa- tronage of the Pope, and to a constant menace «of military intervention, on the part of thePope’s patrons and protectors. He tqkes no-account of the welfare of his people and substitutes for national inde- pendence a confederation under lock and key of theAustrian garrison. The Emperor has sown seeds of future wars. The closer we examlne the pre- tended‘pacification, the more futile and iniquitous it appears. itThe London Morning Post contends that the ‘soul of the treaty agreed upon is the nationality guaranteed, under every variety of local government,in a confede- racy of the Italian States. The Emperor of Abstria is to be King of Venetia,solely of an integral member of the confideration. He will rule no less than 3,000,000 of Italians, and will be controlled by a con- federation ruling not less than 26,000,000. ThePope is share virtually of his tem- poral supremacy; he is deprived of the substance, but keeps the shadow. The Times says Venice must hope that her independence will not be mere name. and ,that the influence with France and Austria'united will not be more unbear- able than the rule of Austria sm'gly. The Romans must hope that the Italian Confederacy under the honorary Presi. denoy of the Pope will be nothing like any Government they» have hitherto known. The Papal States are left : they were, but with a master somewhat greater than before: He is Honorary President of the Italian Confederation,and General Goyon holds the sword at his side. Naples is a member of the Confederation, and has to learn the worth of that ‘honor and ’its import. Europe has to welcome a new powerâ€"the German Confederation, a brother older in dignity if not in time. England has nothing to do but look on. Austria is somewhat humbled, but relieved of a difficulty. Sardinia is agrandised witlia province that mistrusts her, and a neighbor that has earned an inexhaustible claim to her gratitude. The Grand Dukes are once more, we suppose, to be shaken in their thrones, though France now has the game in her hands; she has Europe before her; she can raise all Italy and half the Austrian empire against those Germans whom she has so often beaten. Yet on the Very summit of her ambition, she renounces. France has Spent fifty millions sterling and fifty'thousand men only to give Milan a Piedmontese instead of an Austrian master, and to establish the Pope in a tempera! dignity; even beyond his imagination and capable of "extension. . If rill this is real the Emperor’s game must be a very long one. ' The King of THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. From ‘he Norfolk News, England. I If the peopleL of this country are not seized with a panic caused by the appre- hensions of an immediate invasion, it will not be the fault of Lord Lyndhurst and the other noble lords who have, in alarm- ing language, called attention repeatedly of late to the dafenceless state of this country, and the overwhelmingarmament of the great Continental Powers. Lord ‘Lyndhurst, with inimitable perspicuity, has iplacedbefore the British public and the ,‘world, the long list of dangers which threaten us; and having, in his summary, raisedito the highest figure the naval and millitary resources of France, the vener- able. peer- asked “if the calamity should 4comic, or the conflagration should take place,,wliat words can describe the extent of the calamity, or what imagination can iln terms equally ,impressive,‘ other noble lords urged the duty of immediate pre- paration for'war. have been thought necessary to adopt a course in maintaining the obvious duty of self-defence, which cannot fail to be irri-e tible neighbors acrOss the Channel. To state publicly, as Lord Lyndhnrst 'did on Tuesday night (the 5th) that England did Europe, and, as the result of his own care- i 'ful observation, that a declaration of‘ war on the part of the Government ofrFrance against thiscountry would be hailed with enthusiasm, not only. by the army, but by the great massof the people of France, and that he-could not rely upon the assur- ance of the Emperor, because that per- sonage was in such a situation that he (could not place reliance on himselfâ€"to jstate all this publicly may be considered very candid and outspoken, but we take the present crisis and the people with whom we have to deal. It is possible to irritate France into hostility, to put thoughts of war and afuror for war into the popular mind there, which even Louis Napoleou could not restrain. Should these inopportune observations in high ;places have that effect, and‘war arise, the provocators would, doubtless, claim credit for having prophesied truly and forewarned their countrymen in time. Prophecies of this sort have a tendency to secure their own accomplishment, and preparations for defence may be accompanied with such unwise demonstrations, as actually, to pro- duce, or at leastto aggravate, the dreaded aggression. Whilst, therefore, we con- sider the state of affairs on the Continent very unsatisfactory, and regard the in- ivolvcment of England in the war as a contingency by no means so remote as is generally thought, we would caution public men against a course of proceeding which a dame for peace. may have suggested, but which has very much the appearance, and will certainly have, in some measure, the effect, of a provocative to war. When the utter unpreparedness of this country for war is enlarged upon by noble speakers, the consideration is forced on us that a fearful waste of public money must have taken place, if our navy is now in such a helpless plight. Millions annually years, in this department. It is only a short time ago that fleets were fully equi- ped tor the Baltic and the Black Sea, which returned almost without having struck a blow, or having been in any seri- ous way worn or damaged. It does seem to unofficial and unsophisticated people in- credible that we can now be unprepared even to defend our shores, without making an outlay of a great many millions, and have to begin our preparations as if we had no available fleet upon the waters. Moreover, this competition in navy aug- mentation between ourselves-and France, and this unnatural and unreasonable api- prehension in regard to a‘; powerful‘neighg bor, and particularly the perpetual, iterth tion of it, serve to increase indefiniter the extent of our exigencies, and to raise higher and higher the hill, the summit of which we are laboring to reach. Ifwe are, by the __.tone and manner of our states- men, provoking France to a continual in- crease of its armaments, and if it ‘be a state necessary that our armaments must France, it is obvious that we are, by our imprudence, enhancing on our side the task which we are,,with great difficulty and at an immenSe expense, striving to accom- plish on the other. The true policy is, in a quiet, dignified manner, to prepare for any emergency. Conscious of our greatness and almost in- finite resources, we should treat; other powers with frankness and yet with firm- ness, and show ourselves self-reliant, but at the same time conciliatory. Let us not be ever talking of war and ofdangers, . ever confessiirg our present weakness and bragging about our past siicceSSes; but whilst ready .to defy the whole world in arms, it need be, let us exhibit a ternatein‘the discourses-of ottr‘Parlia- meat-men. paint the ruin that would fall upon us 'i” , We regret extremely that it should- tating in the'utmost degree to our suscep-. not stand very well on the Continent of : leave to question its prudence, considering j ‘ favor of that measure. .have been expended for a long series of ever be considerably beyond those of. gentle- ness which is much more characteristic of true greatness, than the pretentious as- see, even in Representation by Popula- suinptions and timorons avow-als which al- tion, no radical cure for the evils with NOTICE.

PM THE CAUSE AND WHY! In our last issue we stated that the only way to arrive at. a. just conclusion as to the Union, Was to ascertain what evils have accrued to us from the union, and then to enquire whether those evils are. such as to demand a dissolution: to which we would add a.” third question, namelyâ€"~is a dissolution of the union the best or only remedy for our evils Z. We beg the calm attention of our readers to" the remarks we then made, and also beg the same for those we now subjoin, We then showed that the Clear Grit Chief was one. of the greatest causes of the present dissatisfaction; and also that if Upper Canada. was, to “itself but true,” Lower Canada could not injure us. Perhaps there has been no question more bitterly agitated than that of Representation by Population. ‘ y u this cry was in full blast. “Let "us have but that, and the Union will work admirably, was the talk. We ourselves are decidedly ,in. We think it but just; and as the Leader. said at the time, “ but a few years, and there would be no need of agita. tion, as the Western Province wouldhave such a numerical su. periority that LOWer Canada .4 , prejudice and,;:..iseemly bickering. It is not longzsiuce“ “Thus. has it been“ with nearly if the Canadian, Thunderer, and every public question since the its satellites faithfulcorrespondent, union,begau._ Our..politicians have would take the hint.“ never, debated, on a question of right, but have invariably, inflamed the religious passions and, preju- dices. ot the people, the one, against the other. And this we fearlessly assert to be true, that the question of the Dissolution of, the Union would never have, been agitated had the leading man ofl‘the two Pro- vi..ces but met each other in a more friendly. spirit, and, with less The great cause then oftbe present ill-feeling between the Provijces is not so much that injus- tice is done, it is mutual suspi- 'cion of eachujiers motives. Acts are. not judged on their merits, neither are the merits of a- case ofâ€"- ten understood, Political, and above. all, Religious ,pejudiccs are at the. root of all; the eizils of the Union, Our warfare with each other has, beefiha disgrace to. both parties“: 'We, "verily believe that .‘riiuch ofwbat we. callthe in'ustice we receive attire hands of .ower (Canada, is the fruit of misunder- would not resist the demand.”-,â€". That view we believe to be a right one. But we ask, how did the chief agitators discuss this ques- tion? Did they demand it as an act of even-handed justice? No! such a method would not have put wind enough in the sails of the Canadian Chartists. They must. show that such a measure was necessary to crush the Catholic're- ligion. This ,Was the ground taken; this, we unhesitatingly state, was both impolitio and un: just. Representation by Popula- tion is needed; but we scout the idea that Upper Canada wanted by this measure, to cram Protestana tism down the Catholics throats, Our Pioiestantism we hold to be Heaven-born, and as such, never requires to use the weapons of. the untrue. But what was the ,result of this method of agitating the question? Why, what every one having the brains of a dance must: have foreseen, namely, to drive the Lower Province to a man against the measure. In proof of Which, read the following from *bc ‘Tl‘ue Witness of August 1355:â€" ' ' "4. “ Being translated, andlpurged ofcant, . the language of the Globe, and'his"col- ,leagues,’ amounts to thisâ€"That it is ex- pedient to put‘down French Canadianism and Romanism in Lowar Canada, 'an' Anglo-Saxon and Protestant majority from the Upper Province; and that for this purpose, it is necessary to give to the latter a greater number of votes than to the former. Thus do the .Libez'al‘s,‘ of Upper Canada hope that they will'be able to win upon the property of the Catholic Church, break down our Altars, burn our Convents, and turn the Sisters of Charity adrift upon the world. These are the de- signs and aspirations of Upper: Canada Protestant T.iberalism; and ‘ Represen‘ tation by Population‘ is the means by which it proposes to carry its designs into execution.” ' ' ' " ' Thus we see that a good cause is often damaged by unscrupulous advocates. In 1855 the cry" was in fullblast; but now behold-a change. The Globe of iMonday, July 25, treats its readers to a long extract from the Sarnia Observer, from which we clip the following; “We confess, therefore, that we can ‘whi'chrmsâ€"a united Province, we ,are now ’ beget}? _ 3;; .11. ' ;the well-being of the Province have standing, caused by the violent courseof our leading-men of both sections. ' But we ask,,i,s_ this of itselfcause. sufficient for the dissolution? We trow not. ‘ What is‘wanted is not a severance',‘nor a written constitu- tion, but simply moderation in the manner in which we conduct our controversies, and a determination not to appeal to passion and preju- dice, but to let principle guide us, and abme all, to giVe countenance to no political or religious Charla- tanship, by whomsoever exhibited. The mere trickster and place-hunter spum, and he who strives: to excite aniruosities, or becomes the creature of extremes (which he is ever ready to renounce the moment they offer any obstacle to unbridled ambition) avoid, as you would a 'mad dog, if you wish your life’s blood to, circu- late unimpeded, in your" veins. For we feel assured that most of the evilsiresulting from the. Union have been caused by each viewing the other as any enemy, and looking with lynx-eyed jealousy on every measure proposed by the opposite party, thus beforehand being deter- mined not to give measures that calm consideration which they ought to receive; for we take the agitation, of the Representation by how most of the measures affecting to the pre- been discussed. It so up chool ques- sent moment, with the r-tion, And while ‘ we rlis~ ouss questions in‘ this impo- litic manner, we shall never do otherwise than? cause . ill- will; and if we dissolve the Union to-morrow, we shall be no better off; for we shall do as we have done, and are still doing, fight among ourselveswa, disgraceful Billingsgate warfare of vile abuse and ,mean slander, forgetting that he who calls every one dishonest is in nine cases out of ten a Scoundrel himself. V But again, supposing for a mo- ment that Lower Canada has com- mitted all the crimes imputed to her, is the dissolution the best remedy i We think not ; and what is still more, we think we can prove that the Arch Grit is not un- derstood even by hisown satellites. Many of them have supposed that George Brown is-in favor of a dis- solution, but we beg them to read him a, little more closely e’re they thus committ themselves. on this question. Our Clear Grit. contem- porary, the Economist, stated in his last issue in conjimction with his faithful (and we hope he will add truthful ?) correspondent, I “ Our readers are all familiar with the many arguments so frequently and so for. cibly urged by our Toronto Correspondent in favor of. a dissolution of the union be- tween Upper and Lower Canada. Dur- ing‘ the last four months, however, many other liberal papers have taken; up the same side, of this question, the Globe take ing the lead, so that at the present "to; inentathere are few journalists in the, Re- form ranks who do not admit the propri- ety of the people of Upper Canada taking a decided stand in favor of so desirable an object.” In the very same issue of the Globe, in which the above appeared, we find the following: ‘6 The dissolution of the Union, though preferable to a continuance of the existing state of things, may not be the most de- sirable remedy; we do not think it is; but Certainly the least weighty objection is that which springs from the' selfish ap- prehensions of a class which has, for the » most part, been studiedly hostile to Upper Canada.” Certainly the two do not tallyexâ€"s The Economist is in favor of a dis. solution; the Globe merely states that “ it is preferable to the”. present state of things, but does not think it the most desirable remed .”â€"â€" Therefore, we ‘advise such,j they feel inclined to go ahead them- selves, not to 'push their master in slough quicker than he is in- clined togo. 'l'h’e Globe thinks there are other remedies preferable, uan so do We, We have pointed "foul oa‘je remedy} It Would be Well Population question as a sample of 'v There is also, the Federation of: the Provi,nCes,, which if, "rightly carriedlout we think, could be, made towork advantageously, and, be a benefit to both the Upper and} Lower Provinces.

PROCLAIMED. In common with the rest of people, we were very much Sur- prised to hear that peace has been proclaimed. Just' at the time we were dreading a continental war, arrives the news that the two Em- peror’s have had a personal" inter- view, which has resulted in the cessation of hostilities, and the re- conciliation of two Sworn foes. The dogs of war are again Chained, and e're we give vent to feelings of unmitigated pleasure, it may be as attained. Our opinion is, that Na- ;poleon has proved himself pertidi- ousto his frust. He ‘.‘ whispered promises in the ear, which be has broken to the hepe f” and the wild dream of freedom which poor Ital has of late indulged in, has again proved a delusive’ mirage; and the eloquent. Kossuth, who hoped that at length the dawn of Hungarian independence was at hand, has again proved that t‘ it in vain to put confidence in Princes.” 'VVe, how- ever, must add that the conduct of the Despot of France does not sur- prise us. For it always has seemâ€" ed to us a strange anomaly, that he who at home is a despof,lshould abroad be the champion of freedom. Not that we blame ‘Kpssuth or Qa- ribaldi fortrusting huntâ€"drowning men will always'catcb at'stra'ws. The disgrace is not With the be: trayed, but With the betrayer. He boasted that he would drive Ausv. tria from Italy. Let ‘us see how he has kept his promise. Reader, read the treaty of peace, as given in another column, and then judge for yourselves. ‘ The Emperor has fought long enough for glory, and ., theaggranrlisement of his influence In Italy; but he has not performed his promises; and, therefore, how- ever thankful we may be t: at peace is restored, we must not forget that there need not lia're been any war, as peace has been proclaimed with- out the object of the war being obtained. True there has been some change for the better, for the basis of peace is “the Italian confederacy, under the Prl‘sidency of the Pope!” The Presidency of the Pope .’â€"-well what next. Is it not. a notorious fact that the Pope‘s temporal power would long ago have been destroyed were it not for Erencli arms; abd yet he is to be the President. Why not have given the presidency to Victor Immanuel, to whom all Italy looks. Nor is this all. WE cannot help thinking it inconsistent in theory, and vicious in practice, that he to whom “ is committed the keys of Heaven and Hellâ€"~thc successor of the apostle,”â€"â€"sbould be a temporal prince likewise. Let the Catholics, if they will, invest him with the chair of 'St. Peter. With that We find no fault, but we do object strongly to the “ successor of St. Peter" mixing himself up with af- fairs quite the reversn of Holy.â€"-â€" Really it is somewhat degrading to “ his high mission.” Every one _, knovvs that he. is but'intbi‘s instance a tool in, the hand of’desppts. They give him the presidencyto keep out an abler man, as we have sometimes seen in England, a troublesome op- ponent or a weak ally, as Halifax gas it, “ kicked upstairs.” But in spite of all, we are glad that there is peace, .O'ur’only wish, is that it may be lasting, and that it may be long e’re it is again dis- turbed, unless indeed more is ac- complished than has been by the late war. It is frightful to think of the immense amount of blood and treasure that have beeuexpended in the late short but sanguinary con- test. Long may we live before an- other such contest takes place ; for we hope that deceived Italy and betrayed Hungary will learn to de- pend upon themselves in; future, and not again crave the. assistance of an armed Despot.

After the mob’ got the negroes together, they proceeded to the outskirts of the town, and,‘selecting a proper place, chained the negro who: killed Hinton to a stake, got a' quantity of dry wood, piled it around him, and set it on fire.

Corro sppndence of the Whitby Chronicle .. REACH, July 15, 1859. There was a woman seen near ‘Bishop’s. mill,’ who appears to be perfectly wild. She was first seen on the 12th instant by, . two gentlemen who had been hunting, standing near the stream that falls fronf the race. gazmg at the Orangeinen whq . were at that time passing within sight. . The men thinking she was one of the , neighboring women who had come to. bathe, as she was perfectly naked, did not discover tliemselrcs to her for some time.“ They affirm that she was almost as dark as a negro; but having the features of a while ; about medium height, appeared to ' be between 40 and 50 years of age,"and, was very lean, with small face and sunken. eyes. When they approached near enough to be seen, she started up like a deer, im-é mediater taking to the woods, leaping sometimes from 10 to 15 feet. The men gave chase, but did not: keep in sight but, . a few minutes. After wandering about for some time time trying to get sight of her, but in vain, they returned and told“ ' their seemingly incredible story. The fol-z,_ ‘ lowing day six men started in search, and ‘ scoured the woods for miles, around. .. About 4 o’clock, as they were returning, ‘ they were startled by the prarrkin'g obem'e‘ ’ I brush, and upon looking in the direction N from whence it procegded, observed her passing; they all made'a rush at her, but she was off and out of sight in a twinkling.
