Lord John Russell stated, in reply to inquiries, that a great deal of correspon- dence had taken place with Naples relative to the constitutional reforms recommended by England and France, and in a few days he imped to lay the same on the table. He also laid upon the table some further corrospornlcnce relating to the affairs of Italy and explained the position of the government, both as regards Italy and Savoy. IIc asserted that hostility had all' along been shewn to the contemplated anâ€" nexation of Savoy to ilf‘rance, and that as regards the Italian policy of governmrnt, It was dictated by a sole desire of securing permanent peace to that country. i Several OppOSlilOll members, inciurlingl Disraeli, denounced the conduct of gov- ernincnt‘and averted that the policy pur- sued had promoted the virws of Trance with rrgard to Savoy. Lord Palmerston defended the govern- ment, and stated his conviction that if the Great Powrrs objected,France would not presist in nnr‘rcrtation.

The Steele praised and endorsed a work in winch certain dogmas of Catholic and Jewish crcctls were set down as shams. The Moniteur publishes the treaty of commerce between France and England. Its publication is preceded by a long re- port, giving an historical outline of the negotiatioris which preceded the signing of the treaty. The reply of the Pope to the last proâ€" posals of France had reached Paris. The Pope declines the proposition to confine within an exclusive political compass a a question which, as it concerns the in- tegrity of “ tlrc Patri: .ony of St. Peter,” is intimately bound up with the independ- ence of the Church. Although decidedly rejecting the propOsiiion to create a Viczr rate of Itomagna in favor of a foreign sovereign, his Holiness shows himself disâ€" posed to enter into the path of reform on .condition that the integrity of the States of the Church is guaranteed.

It is stated that Austria while declaring her intention to remain neutral in regard i to the Savoy question, had assured Russia that in the cvont. of the Rhine frontiers ever beang menach she would immediately unite with Prussia for the protection of the integrity of the German territory. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Chamber of Deputies unanimously adopted the bill which guar- antees the press against having its conceso sinus withdrawn by the administrative pro- cedure. SPAlN AND MOROCCO. Nothing of importance occurred at the seat of war.

A Constantinople despatch says that two of the points of negotiation now pend- ing for the conclusion of the treaty of aili- ance bctxveen England, France and the Porte, were the revision oftlre capitulation, and the right of armedL intervention in the principalities and Servia. The projected journey of Sir iI. Buiwer to London was connected with this object. It is said that the Ports had concluded a loan of twenty-five millions of francs. INDlA AND CHINA. A telegram announces that Mr. lVil- made his financial statement on the 18th February. The deficit is about nine mil- lion ponnds. He proposes atrade license of from 52 to Q), yearly, a tax upon in- comes of from £240 to £690 at two per cent,and above that at 4 per cent, with no exemptions, and a large duty upon to- , buCco tariff is to be modified.

But the outs they are, and“ the nuts lhcy are like- ly to remain for some time yet. The reason ivlry they are so, can, we think, be discovered at a glance. One reason is, that take it as a whole, the present ministry have proved themselves to) be far super- ior in moral worth to their opponâ€" ents; they have guided the ship of state clear of many rocks of quick~ sands, that Would have shipwreck. ed her bad she been in less skillful hands. We have passed through periods of intense commercial dis- tress and have in spite of all main- tained our credit both at home and abroad; and while the Grits have advocated absurd and dangerous changes in our constitution. The ministry, all honor to them for it, have presented a bold front against the dire innovations of the most reckless and unscruplous partizans in the Province, not that we are prepared to give unqualified appro- val of everything done by the min- istryâ€"«this is not at all necessaryâ€"â€" we are simply doing them jus- tice in what we have said.â€" But there is also another reason why the ministry have maintained their seats, and that is to be found in the opposition itself. There is George Brown, energetic, violent, and nnprinciplcd ; he has contrived to make himself the “ best hated” man in the Province. His own followers while they fear, yet hate i into, as is proved by the tart charges brought against him for of the “ more power to the Pope” howl, , , able for office than any of his co-patriots.

I see, have caused a . reply from friend Drystono, who appears to attach great importance to the fact that men, who neither “ touch, taste nor handle,” are never found in the Anti-temperance ranks. Why should they; they adopt the principle ‘of abstinence conscientiously, therefore cm» not be expected to profesa one thing and ad- vocate another in direct antagonism. Now the question at issue is, will the oppression and annoyance sought to he laid on the inn- keoper, tend to the advancement of temper- ance? I think not. On the contrary, the en- acting of petty laws, and the low abuse of tom- perance advocates. do more to drive good men from the business than to improve the bad ones. Mr. Drystoue’s remarks on “embryo inebriates” must have been the result of a sojourn in St. Giles‘, London, or the Five Points, New York. Thoughtlessiy bad as some may be, I could not persuade myself that We have a tavern-keeper near us who would willingly, or with “ malice prepnese,” trv for years to load a young man from the path of rcctitude, for the sake of a few dollars at most. To advance the idea here,I consider it not only an insult to the publican and sinner, but to mankind at large. Such may be the casein some places. but not here.
