'¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ——4 ¦ . . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦' : ¦ /^ REAT things in agitation , strange events \ X in prospect , important disputes concluded—Sucli are really the characteristics of the -week . In the East , -we have Russia , who lately concluded with us a treaty of peace and amity , endeavouring to cheat us in the meanest and vulgarest style ; in the West , we have the United States of
America returning to a complete alliance by closing up the Centi'al American dispute ; in the East , ngain , we Have the Stiltak , bound by natural ties to the European sytsem , and -with our Court in particular ; while the American Republic is in the throes of an internal dispute , and-Europe is struggling -with antagonistic forces that cannot as yet find their own level or distribution .
Russia still stands up , and , as we have already surmised , her resistance in the matter of the Isle of Serpents is only part of a large attempt'to outv . 'it the Western Powers in the spirit of a pettifogging tyranny . It now . seems that Russia is endeavouring to execute the Treaty of Paris in a manner that would secure to her every advantage overlooked by the other plenipotentiaries . It seems that she endeavoured—nay , she says that she succeeded—in inserting the name of Bolgrad : is a terminus for the new boundaries , when the other plenipotentiaries meant Belgrade . The
claim to consider the Isle of Serpents as annexed to Moldo-Wallachia and not to Turkey , originates in the Court at St . Petersburg , and is not a mere local mistake . It is well known that -while Russia has been making these practical infringements ifpon the Treaty , she has been seeking to beat up . support throughout Europe by making large professions . She is , therefore , an enemy still—still contemplating hostile encroachments upon all the rest of Europe , from Turkey to Norway—just thesame that she was before the Treaty was concluded ';• just as dangerous and more free .
• Nor is the position of the other great Towers more promising ^ for the peace of the world . While Naples is systematically refusing to give satisfaction to the ' Western Powers—is in fact flinging reproaches in their teeth—the journals of the Lombnrdo-Venetian kingdom echo the Neapolitan note , in leading articles —of course -with the permission of the Austrian authorities . Austria , therefore , takos the snmc part with Naples , ¦ with whom she is said to be remonstrating . How
fur the Emperor Francis JosKpiihns been reconciled to the Emperor Alixandjee II . we do not know ; how far Austria may be coerced by the Western Powers , or how far she may entrap them into a compromise , we sis little know ; but that she means mischief is quite evident . The English Government has resolved upon a remarkable use of an honorary distinction : the Sultan is to be created a Knight . of .. the-Garter . So that order , which originated'in imitation ' of
the Crusaders , is to confer its last honour upon the Vicegerent of jMauomet ! The historical Confusions involved in tlie admission of the first Mussulman to the order are amusing , but they are not so great as the practical confusions which had been worked by the Christian power , Russia ; while ' Turkey is newly hound by this compliment from England to assist , as she is so well disposed to cloj in maintaining tlie orderly fellowship of nations in Europe .
Kecent events , indeed , have added to the mystery of the great European question . Canning prophesied that within a certain time it would either be Republican or Cossack . The Western Powers arc trying to discover some middle term , and if they obtain the assistance of the peoples , and especially of the educated classes among these peoples , they may succeed , for there has been a most striking and instructive success in Piedmont . They . might even find a reinforcement of their Btrenath in the recent wonderful manifesto of
Alpiionse i > k Lamariise , who will not let the world think him wiser than he really is . The self-constituted man at present before the world is quite unconscious of the exposure of which he is guilty when he believes himself to be displaying his magnanimity . He now vouchsafes to us as a great historical disclosure as to what were his intentions when , as a member of the Provisional Government , he instituted the army of the Alps . His object was wit < li that army to cover the defeated 60 , 000 of Ciiaiu . es Alubkt , and so to
secure the independence of Italy , and to establish in that country a federation of its states under the mediation of France . In other , words , Italy was to be independent of everything but the llulor of the Universe and M . de Lamartise . The pseudostatesman , whose courage is equal to confronting an infuriated mob or the grossest moral absurdity in his own character , displays thut sublime caricature of modesty whjcli is a common shape of egotism that cannot contain itsell ' . Thi . s cbauchc of a policy for Italy may be a useful and tjmely
¦ w arning for inen of . real sense who want to avoid the disgrace . of a Lamabtjne . Turning again to-the ' . West , we find there many questions which invite attention , but invite also a strong confidence for the future . We have already said that , the question of Honduras was settled , we may now add that the Central
American questions are so far settled , that all their branches appear only to await the final fbrmali- " ties of the two Governments ; Not long since , fresh propositions arrived from the other side of the Atlantic . It would appear that they have been accepted , so that the BuiAVEit-CiAYTON complication is now a matter of the past . So far , good !
But the President is in a ' fix : ' The House of Reprcsentatives has agreed to pass the civil appropriation bills—that is , what we call the supplyunconditionally . But to the Army Appropriation Bill—the military , supply—it annexes certain conditions , namely , that the forces shall not be employed in Kansas , meaning that they shall not be used to put down the Fi'c ' C 9 oilcrs . The Senate has more than once stricken out that condition .
While the Houses are still divided , tlie session terminates according , "to law ; but the President uses an extraordinary power "which he possesses to commence a new session . The Houses sit again contrary to their will , and continue the dispute as before . It is quite certain , however , that , sooner or later , the llcpublic -will settle this question in dispute between the two Houses . The President cannot fail in some way or other to obtain tlie money for the payment of the army , and the difficulty will therefore be got over . Other irregularities arc to us more formidable . The member .- } have been voting to themselves double pay—about three guineas a day in lieu of thirty-two shillings . They have been freely disposing of their funds because there is a large surplus'in hand . All this is well enough ; but they have appropriated eight millions of acres of waste lands for railways , counter to the constitution , counter to policy , counter , ive , believe , to the very fundamental principle of tic Union . A similar appropriation of waste lands has been asked before , for the support of yublic schools and common roads—certainly no unconstitutional __ allotment . But the proposal was thought to btfljv- :- ~ v consistent with the spirit of the constitution AfclUa ,. ; ' - ; S . it was proposed to appropriate the prpficeda . of . , > - wastelands for buying up and nbolishin ^ nogr © \ , I , slavery , enabling the slave states indyyjctly . t < f < " .
