  Rphanks Have Been The Business Of The/We...
  
  rpHANKS have been the business of the / week- ~ JL thanksgiving on Sunday in the Church for the peace ; thanks tp her Majesty in both Housedtof Parliament for \ conin ^ mca { ing ; tliejtreajty of peace and the papers accompanying ; it ; thanks in both Houses of Parliament' to the- 'British army , the
  
  navy , the marines , and the militia , for earning the peace ; thanks to General Wiliiams , with a baronetcy and a pension , for having been so gallantly victimised at Kars ; thanks even , e converso , to Smith O'Brien , Frost , and other " politicaloffenders , " whose respectable class of offence enables her Majesty to adorn , the victory by . the grace of' an amnesty , without any undue interference in the conduct of the ordinary
  
  prisoners ; thanks to the Opposition for having arranged itself to be so cqmpletejly smashed . ; and thanks to her Majesty ' s people for looking" cin and acquiescing in everything that is vouchsafed to it from head-quarters . Thanks , too—we were almost forgetting this—to Lord Lucan , for having so completely crushed Colonel Tuixocii as we crush a snake on our hearth . The debates on the Address to the Quekn
  
  consisted entirely of matte * so stale , that in the House of Lords the grand Opposition speech wag that of Lord Maiaussburt , which > he ,-mtended / tq deliver last week upon Kara : Lord DannT in the Hoiise of Lords , and members of his party in the House of Commons , set thomselves to find fault with details of the Weftty , —such aa the omission of any stipulation on bchnlf of Circassia , the want of souio guarantee that the hattee-schereef will bo carried out in Turkey , the doubt whether ihc neutralization of the Black Sea will' not operate injuriously to the interests of this
  
  coun . try . For ,, aa Mr . 'Sid ney Hhubioit paid , it iu not'the interest of any commercial country td haye thofroe . range of the sens circumscribed . Lord An ^ QDpENdiscovered with characteristic impartiality the danger that Russia might be exposed to attack from Turkey without defence from other Powers . Qb cprnplotcly , however , was the Opposition crest-fallen , that no amendment could bo found iu the House of Commons except n purely criti cal icprrdcitiQn whipn ' Mr . Itpini * nT PiniMiiMOKB desired * as a doctor learned in the civil lawyto record A alight objection'to * fclio Executivefor having ; surrendered the . jrightv of seizing
  
  an enemas gPQds i p neutral ships without consulting Parliament * ' * As h to make this fallen s ^ atjB f he * npr , e posi £ iy & Lord Gx ^ v » B Hamilton proposed an amendment— -to strike out the words " joy and " i before U satis / kction , " as he considered thjeopeace dishonourable ; so that he could not consent to express - mortem than , * ' s & tisfaction ^ ivith
  
  it . That the lead of the Opposition should be left to Lord CtAttoE Hamilton - , that it should sink to this little quibbling , and that the amendment should only be proposed to be withdrawn on the second night of the debate , prove how entirely the revived strength of the party was imag inary . The country must even do without " the Country party . "
  
  Yet there was stuff" in the debates . Lord Ci / AfcENpON was taken to task by Mr . Layard and other members , for having consented , even in a modified form , to the remonstrances with Belg ium on the subject of the press . Mr . Monckton 1 \ £ ii | nes * sh < Wed that Belgium'hud already taken special precautions to keep a control over the discussion of French affairs in the press . Mr . GladstoiTe explained these precautionary measures , with-great minuteness , and there was evidently a . feeling in the House of Commons , not limited to the Radical Members , that in
  
  subscribing to Count WArasswsKi ' s menacing complaint against Belgium , Lord Ciaeendon had joined in an outrage upon a friendly power , and had in some degree surrendered an outpost of constitutional liberty . Much also was said upon the subjectbf ItaJy , but ^ v « Jenrn nothing from flife debate . ? . < We turii foe information to the-TOports of 1 tliedebate in' the Chamber of Deputies at Turin , which ha . ve , however , while we write ^ only reached us in a ^ very imperfect form . So fur the intelligence is quite satisfactory . While Naples' is niggling at small pi'omises of clemency to political
  
  prisoners—promises intended only to shuffle out of nny demands upon her—Austria is strengthening her position in Parma , and is manifesting , both by act and speech , that she does not intend to yield in the slightest degree . Wo therefore entirely disbclfevo the statement which was made that Austria is prepared to co-operato with the Western Powers in improving the condition of Italy . She may bo preparing to get up somo appearance of co-operation in order to entangle the friends of Italy in false Alliances , and perhaps to justify any Conservative statesmen who may affect taxinito . with Count Cavoub in compromising a
  
  cause . that they pre , ten / i to serve—for . that as what we are . ' threatened with . There is a serious chance that the cause of Italy will be compromised , not in the sense of yielding half and obtaining half , bijjt ; ' juj ; £ be ][& qsq - itf ; hrfeitUig all In the iniean while , however , Count Cavoub has stated to th e ; Chamber" of deputies at Turin the course ^ which behas taken in '' Paris : he has said something ,
  
  which is not yet very intelligibly reported , as to the support which he receives from the Western Powers ; he has announced that it is the intention of his Government to persevere in the course of policy which they have marked out with referenceto Rome ; and , confirming what we . have said above , he has avowed that the relations of Piedmont with Austria are not improved .
  
  Another gallant nation has shown that its independence is not . to be invaded with impunity * In the Belgian Chambers ! , the Minister for Foreign Affairs has been questioned on the subject of Count Walewsp ' s speech . No notification of that speech , he said , had yet been made to the Belgian Government * When it should be made , the Government would maintain the . rights . , of Belgium as an independent nation . "No poorer , " added the Minister , " has ever demanded a modifi - cation of the law of the press in Belgium , and the country will never submit to such ; a
  
  pretettsionrrnever ! " MVe rejoice to . hear it . While we can confirm the statement that the press of Belgium 13 regulated by laws passed independently and spontaneously by the national legislature , we declare , our firm conviction that the time has come when upon peoples like the Belgians will have to depend the support of constitutional freedom in Europe . For already it has , we fear , suffered a . serious inroad through the yiolding of a British Cabinet , which very imperfectly represents the opinions of constitutional freedom in this country , und has a still morp iniperfect relation with the great body of the people . re
  
  We see how imperfect ^ that lation is , first in the excessively guarded and equivocal position of Ministers towards Italy » where prudence wouldpormit so decided a course Of co-operation ; wq scifllt in the willingness to let Franco ihreftten Belgittiltiy whose elected sovereign is the Uncle of O ^ QitiB & N ; wo see it in the readiness on our side to keep open a paltry quarrel with tluo 'UfaKWd-BWtda , which any really business man 6 jf ^ J gfcifbfelijipf ^^ * ttna ?
