FOREIGN NEWS.

oms WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.

'1"hePacket Ship John Jay,Capt Holdredgei
from Liverpool, has a‘r_r__ived... By..tliis,cori-
veyaneo the editors of fhe-Co_rnttier_citil Adver-
tiser have received their regular supplies of
Er_igl.slt newspapers,’ embracing; Lottdoti 9f
the evening of'December 7th, and Liverpool
oftlie 9th. ' , . ‘ -

The European papers are like thermome-
ter.-.. Their tone is varied by every 113681118‘
circumstance.as the mercury sinks or- rises by
every change in the temperature 0f ‘he 3i"
that sweeps by it. At. the date-ofour last ad-
vices, all was despondeney and gloom. Tire
Russian Bear was taking the attitude salient,
and the Black Eagles of Prussi_a,wero leaving
the royal eyrie, and screaming for the prey.
A single week has passed, and the bears are
quietly in their (lens, and the eagles in their
nests. In other words the general aspect’ of
the intelligence by this arrrival is altogether
pacific. We are not disappointed by the al-
tered tone of the advices before us. But our
foreboding: as to the f'uture,are unchanged.-
With these brief remarks,wo now proceed to
make a general abstract of the contents
of the papers -received by (hi! .lT!'_lV‘l-"sP9C-

The L rndon papers of the 4th, Gilt and
7th ult. contains the reports made to the
Chamber of Peers upon the impeachment
ofthe ox—Ministers", and a continuation of
the deptrslltlns of the principal witnesses
against them. These reports embrace the
examination of Prince Polignac and his
colleagues, on the inte"rro'gatorit-.s put to
them on the 28th ofAugu»-t, the 26th"and
27“, of 0¢t..bt-r, and the 29 h of Novem-
ber. Tlie‘Morning Herald of the 27th
Dec. sttys:-- .

“ Tltose new documents in no degree

prisoners actually in custody; but they
bear materially upon the conduct of other
parties, unforttinart-.ly_for the ends of jus-
tice, not in custody with them, and tend to
show th.-it the estimate which public opin-
ion has formed oftlre guilt or innocence of
these parties, has boon in one case too in-
ilulgt-nt, i:r the otht_+r too"severe.- Mat-
niont, the simple atrtl sangtiinavy tool of H

is to-be excused front all the responsibility
ofa rational boirrg, and appears to have

l he first part ofthe report is excluded
by the London Courier, as it would fill an
ezrtire new.~paper, and is little more than a
narrative of the t‘Vl:’.|".lS which preceded and
marked the Rev-»lti'tiori of July; but the
secottd port, whrclr treats oftlie trccusrrtion
ag.=inst the Ex-Mitiistt-rs, as in. trgntors of
the fines which have taken placeir. France,
is of con.-id:-rublo intt~rest. The Courier
says:-—» A

“ The Reporter goes through the evi-
dence .n the subject with great ability;
and concludes, that in no ca-e has the hot-
rible accusation been t'.onfirnitf.d, although,
up to this hour, so deep at mystery hangs
over the origin of these atrocities, that it is
impossible to obtain any satisfactory irifor-
mati-.n. The spirit ofjustice with which
the investigatioris into this matter have been
conducted by the Frrench Authorities, will
rodound to their credit in historic recollec-
tion. Ifth-:y hid been atixious to crush
the unfortunate man, against whom public
prejudice was raised, not merely as politi-
cal despots, but also as instigators, for _d_es-
potic ends, of midnight incendiaries, they
would lnive fotitid-little difficuly in prepar-
ing from the fi-st depositions of various
parties, a case‘ which would, in all proba‘
bility, have prove d fatal to the Ex Minis-
ters; but the persons charged with the in-
vestigation having no malignant purpose in
view, and beaiirig in mind how many inno-
cent men havo been brought to the scaffold
by State Prosecutions, examined and re-
examined the persons who were as first so
ready to swear away the lives of DeP.;lig.-
mic and his colleagues, until they became
convinced, from the coritrtidictions ofthe
witnesses, and the facts which lhtisc con-
tradictions elicited, that the Ex-Ministers
were whollyguiltless ofthe charge in ques-
tion. Speaking of Barrie, the scoundrel

, who volunteered his testimony against Po.

lignae, M. de Bestard says, “In every part
ofhis declarations his falsehood has been
establisl_ted.”

In concluding the second part of hisRe-
port, (the third merely relates to questions
ofcompetency.) M. de Bastard says:-—

" Such. gt-’n'.lemon, ts the result of the
labours ofyour Commission relative tothe
fires. lVe have not pretended to give you
ti complete history ofthe calamity which
still exists. “In have only referred to the
subject as far as it was supposed‘ to affect
the Ex-Ministers. But in terminatingthis
portion of our work, may it be permitted
to me who have lived twelve years with the
Magistrate who held" the seals of the State,
to say that M. do Courvesir was not 31 per-
son to whom a proposal so horrible air

offer his ironragg-to. the private..V.l.fiU93., Qfld
thuincorruptiblo integrity of that magis-
trate. If the fires which still devastate
France are the result of a horrible plot, let
us hope that it mil be discovered; bttt..|!'_tS
now _,our.,_duI” to declare that notliittg has
occurred to indictife that airy flI9‘ITlI)6f' of
the Ministry had conceived ; insttgatcd,or
encouraged tho_seatrocitics." . _

We now take this opportunity ofstattng
another circumstance in favor ofthe Ex-
Ministers, which is very honorable to the
French Gov’t. As it was feared that, in
the excited state of the public mind, with
an enormous numborof uenmpl--yed work-
men in Paris thirstitrg for blood, and dosi-
rous oftumult, ti fair trial oftliest-. unfortu-
nate, and, as we conceive, guilty inert,
could hardly be expected, gr:-at exertions‘
have been tirade to give employment out of
Paris on canals and other public works to
an, persons from wltoiri excesses were ‘In
be apprclu-ntled,atid we now learn with
pleasure that the Govern-tn.-nt have no
fears for the public tranquility In PH“-‘r
whatet-or may be tho issue oftlie tipproaclt-
iug trial. \\'ou|d the same merciful con-
siderations have been shown under the late
dynasty? No; for to prosecute a State
t_)fTt_-nder than, was to condemn-—to _con-
demn, was to execute. Tlteut was neltlret
justice in prosecution, nor mercy after cuti-
‘dernnation.'

But the greatest benefit that could have
hnppt-tied for the Ex-Ministers," was the
resignation uftlic late cabinet in‘ this coun-
try. Untounded as tlte belief was, the
French, rrtive-rtlielt-ss, did lttzlicvtf. |lt‘«'-f ‘lit’
wickedly mad conduct ofP.o;,ignac had bepn
approved of by the Wt-lhngton ‘Adminis-
_1rtition,and the stibsequt-nt exestioiis madt.

by ttttmanityfiverc trffcnsive to the French,
who could not trndtirstartd why our Gov’.
~liould lie sutft-red I0 interfere, in any way,
in at case ofthis description, obstervirrg,tliat
wn.slrould think it very strange if the
French Cabinet were to interfere with us,
t-ve-n to solicit the pardon ofa sate crimi-
mil ; and thus makingtlio. condemn:-itiou of
the Ex-Mitiisttus, in the public mind M
|..-;t,r,t,|m.,st a mo-.isuro of necessity. for the
tr.aintt-ttatice ofnational pride,wliit'li would
sttfl}-p no tlictiitinti or ittlr:I‘ft=l'('nCe on llle
t,-,tt-t of ;t foreign Gov’r. This feclitrg.e‘x-
is-is no longer. The present Ministry of lhl5
country, although individually quite as do-
sirous of seeing the lives of Polignac ‘and
his Colleagues spared as the last, are not
suspected ofany desire to interfere collec-
tivel_v.& the liicntls 0fltUl'i1Hlll‘y in Frarrcc,
_tt-ho were pro-jridicod against our late Mirr-
tsters, can tolmzittr, and evcu_ adllllfct ll"?
crimpussitiil of.-he present.

The law in Frtrrice will take its course.
and the unhappy men, whose crimes we
are half inclined to overlook in contempt
for their blunders,will have a fair trial; but
if report streaks true, the great offender has
escaped.

Tltr following pnragraplis,from the three
great Nortlern Powers, are supposed to
indicate the true state of the feelings oftlio
respective Courts:—- _

A London paper of tho.-tth Dec. says,
“it is said that the Emperor Nicholas has
dt-cla-ed that it is not his intention to march
his troops across the frontiers without the
consent of the principal Europa’-an powers.
As this (‘act has not been ofiicially announ-
ced, it would be improper to place iinpli-
cit reliance upon it, but we ought to add
that it has been mentioned as coming from
good au:hority by an evening paper, the
Courier, atitl that the writer ofthis article-
had the same information from a highly re-
spectable quarter Defuse its appearance in
theJournal alluded to. This report has
no doubt huda favorable effect tipon our
funds, which in spite ofthe strenuous exer-
tions ofthe speculators for a fall, have been
very firm lo-day.

The following paragraph i- from Berlin,
Nov. 25 : -" The first protocol of the con-
fcrottces in London, by which the first
‘stop was taken towards the amicable 5a..
justment of the affairs of Belgium,lras ntatle
a favorable impression ltert‘. Our rniiflita-’
ry measures are merely measures ofsecuri-
ty, such uS every state is called upon to a-
dop. in tl‘lest2,Ct‘ilic=tl times.

From Vienna, Nov 24: “ The London
protocol of Nov. -1, the answer oftlie Bel-
gian Gov'I, and the promised suspension of
hosttlitie.-',liavc given great sati.f‘,.ct§0,,'a,,d
scarcely leave ti doubt oftlio amicable set-
|lCmt.’lll oftlte important-contest,of which
party spirit has taken so much advantage-,
especially as M. D.- Potter, convinced of
the itisutiiciency of his influence to establish
a republic, leaves the theatre of his revolu-
tionary activity, which is covered with
olood and confltigration. The funds,tvhich
fell on the news ofthe march of the Rus.
sian troops, rose yesterday, and still more
to-dtiy, as the Austrian Observer has pub-
lished tho London Protocol.

The following extracts from speeches
delivered in the [french Chambers on the
1st l)ec. show that these pacific assurances
are confided in by the F|‘¢!n(;I|Gt_)vet-nmcnt_

But at the sitting on the «tilt of Decent-

little morn oxciturtroiit. Gen. L:-rtiitirquo
being called to the tribune :—-

“I lrnstori (said he)to zzccomplish the tie-

We must insist that the principles of non-

the disposition of tho project. He approv
rd of the reduction oflhn sizn reqtirred of
the conscript to -1 feet 11 inches (Frcncli.-)
“Many a northern Goliali,” said he, “fell

Muscular strength is no longer it requisite
of victory, The musket in our days is
preferred to the club of Iletculcs." Gen.
Lartrarquu having proposed the adoption of
tori project, it was discussed wlietlier II
should bwc debated to-morrow (Sunday,)nr
oti Monday. However, the regulation of
the house requiring that a delay of.‘.’.4 hours
should elapse between the report and dis-
cussion ofany law, the deliberation was
atljout nod to Monday.

ONE‘ DAY L—\TEI’t.

LONDON, Dec. 8.--Tlio express from
Paristliis morning is of great importance,
if we can put confidence in tire 5;‘-t'.t’Cl‘l of
the Fr-eticlt Minister of \V:ir as well as in
the Minis er of Fort-ign .-tlfair, who almost
assures the French ntiti in that no war will
take pl ice on the continent.

On tho Sth,:i grunt sensation was created
(in the [louse of Lords) by the arrest of
a tiers -n who had been loitering about
there. One of the messengers had told
him that be c uld not be pertnitted there,
upon tvliich he drew at pistol and snapped
