"Thd one Idea which History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men Dy prejudice and one-sided views ; and by , setting aside the distinctions of Keligion . Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development of our Spiritual nature . "—Humboldi ' s Cosmoi .

T He Kings Continue To Visit Paris, And ...
T HE Kings continue to visit Paris , and Sardinia has already left his own dominions , attended by his Ministers , to take council at the capital of Napoleon . The King will come on to England , but he will only spend five days in this country . The real business of his journey , we are led to infer , will be commenced and completed in Paris ; he will find in that city the disposer of events , and
will probably learn how far , though no farther , he may extend his frontiers southwards . Considering that the conflict which is now suspended in the East will next year be resumed upon a wider field and on a larger scale , the visit of the King must probably be considered the great event connected with the war for the present week . There can be little doubt that the terms of the combination for
the ensuing year are now under discussion , and will be to a great extent settled at this visit . Unfortunately it happens that the public of this country and of France receive no light whatever upon the nature of their arrangements while they arc under discussion . We shall learn what they are when it is too late to remedy them , or to modify their results . It is not exactly so with Piedmont . The King will be accompanied by Ministers who most certainly represent the people of that country , and who could be removed from office if they were
not placed there by the great majority of the entire people . The political life of these statesmen is pledged to their success . Nay , their life in history is as deeply pledged , and unquestionably they who represent Piedmont and Genoa , to say nothing of Savoy and Sardinia , would not permit any arrangement inimical to the interests of their native country . So far the objects of publicity are gained with respect to Piedmont . England , and , still more , France , are represented by proxies who do not keep such short accounts .
The Empekoh , who is receiving the visit of the King from Northern Italy , who has hia own trusted servants in Sweden and in Switzerland , closed the Exposition last week with a significant hint to Gorman Governments , conveyed through the representatives of the German peoples at the Art fVrVuMncnt in Paris . One of the most striking inventions gjf tuc dftv was not displayed at that
exhibition : it is the floating battery , which was so successful at Kinburn , and which is to be applied in much greater force in the Baltic during the campaign of 1856 . Our own representatives in the Northern Sea , indeed , have not been enlightened on the subject of these future operations . Impatient as they may be to signalise themselves , they await' the word of command from Paris ; and the Parisian scheme , so far as we can judge it by the overt acts , embraces an immense field of operations , compr ising directly , or indirectly , the Baltic , Sweden , Germany , and Switzerland . If forced to carry on the contest , Napoleon will be obliged to throw into it new forces , and lie nppears to be
mustering his allies and supporters with great industry , and at present with great success . Anstria has made a counter demonstration , which threatens to give the war of principles a new turn . Her operations now penetrate into many countries not hitherto involved in the contest ; an Imperial patent , issued early in the present month , promulgates the concordat made with Home in August last , and gives to that treaty throughout the Austrian empire the force of law . On the face of the text , it is limited in its intended working to the territories of the Empeuok- namely , to Austria ,
Hungary , Bohemia , Lombardy , Venice , Dnlmatia , Croatia , Slavonia , Galicia , Lodomcria , and Illyria . This list , it will be observed , comprises provinces in the East of Europe , in the centre , in Germany , Poland , Switzerland , and such representative provinces through which Austria reaches all those divisions of the continent . Ostensibly , the concordat secures no fresh privileges for the Empbrou , but simply surrenders new powers which the Potes have vainly demanded from the Emperohb of Germany and of Austria , —confirms those which the Popes have held more or less
successfully , ' —ami surrenders some that Imve been constantly denied by the predecessors of Vuakcib Joseph . It declares the Roman Catholic religion to be for ever established in the Austrian empire ; and although reservations must be understood with reference to the Lutheran provinces , those regorvntions are made in this compact j and the . direct pro-visions no doubt will be employed by the Roman clergy to over-ride the immunities of the Protestants . We have already had a specimpn of that in . Bohemia * where the Prelates resented ev- « cxonchm ' . iftte Q « t the non-Catholic population
The superintendence of education is handed over to the bishops and clergy , for public as well as private schools . To them is consigned the revision of books , the civil power being pledged to suppress those which are dangerous or hostile to the faith j episcopal courts are to be established for adjudicating upon questions relating to the spiritual relation of marriage and the validity ~ of betrothments . Thus education , literature , and marriage , in an Empire under the King of Hungary and Bohemia , are absolutely handed- over to the Pope .
The property of the Church is strengthened with new revenues and a new tenure : the Emperor countersigns a document by which the Pope consents to levy tithes where they still exist , and to accept compensation where they have been abolished ; the Church is declared free to acquire new property , all its present and future property are declared to be inviolable , and the Emperor , by implication , is pledged to increase the revenues of the Church where new revenues are wanted . The organisation of the Church is to l > c strengthened and extended : it is empowered to unite , divide , and re-distribute its sees and rectories : to
introduce new regular orders of both sexes , and to enforce its own discipline upon the clergy . A neient immunities of the clergy are revived and strengthened ; priests and regulars accused of criminal offences must be treated with official respect , must be kept separate from ordinary culprits , confined in ecclesiastical buildings , and brought for spiritual judgment before their bishop . J-cst any thin
should be omitted in this new deed of possession for the Roman Catholic Church throughout ? the Austrian Empire , an article of the Concordat stipulates that everything else relative to ecclesiastics and clerical matters , which is not mentioned in these articles , shall bo arnui £ i : < C managed according to the doctrines ot ' tha Church . and the discipline which is approved hy the Pnpul Chair .
