• . . ¦ . ¦'¦ .. ¦ ' . ——? - ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦ 4 DMIRAL DUNDAS , it is now reported , jla . sailed from Ajaccio oh the 14 th instant for Naples 5 and the French Government has put foith a kind of notification in the Moniteur . It is to be supposed that this notification lias had the assent of our Government ; and if so , it decidedly falls back from the position whieh . our Ministers wore supposed to take up when they first announced the demonstration against Naples- The Hfvjriteter careftilly Connects tli © present proceedings with those of the Paris Conference on the 8 th of
April . It describes Rome and other Italian states , G-reece , and Belgium , as having given satisfaction to the " Western Powers ; while Naples alone has treated their representations with contumely , and has persevered in her repressive form of Government . Hence , it is necessary to -withdraw diplomatic relations . But , although it is not less necessary to protect French and English subjects , tlie war sliips for that purpose will not be sent into tlie Bay of Naples , lest they should give encouragement to a rising against the ruling authol'Jties . Such is the substance of the article .
If this is a correct view of the course intended by tlio Western Powers , they are prepared to bully Naples but not to coerce her ; lest under coercion slie should be called to account by her subjects . It is well known that , some time back , the Foreign Minister of France was not expected to resume his functions in the Government : he did resume . It was understood that he had better loarned to accommodate himself to the views of
the Emperor ; but here we see exactly the same tone and course of conduct in regard to Naples that we witnessed before Count "Walewsju went for a time into the country . It was understood that when the Emperor had recovered his health and returned to Paris , there was to be a change of men and administration : there is no change . ~ \ Vo are far from assuming that the Emperor has altered his opinions ; the conjecture to which we are drawn is , that he does not find himself stron g « uough to act without those men who are less intent upon building up the greatness of France than building up their own fortunes and rank .
Narvaez has scarcely entered Spain , before he > a making all , high and low , feel the vehemence and overbearing character of his temper . Ilia rustication in Franco , and his " study of the archives at Vienna , " do not appear to have
softened his disposition . He insults a gentleman who is married into the royal family , even striking the man , and thus he provokes a conspiracy amongst his rivals and opponents . But lie- swaggers about as if confident in his success ; partly , no doubt , because he reckons upon having -with him the Queen-Mother and the
French party . Yet Hugelmann , the editor of the French paper in Madrid , is understood to represent vested interests in O'Donneix , and is said to have been coquetting with the new reforming party . Meanwhile , Hamon Narvaez enjoys the favour of the Queen—for the present . Tlie Russians have been defeated by Sefeb Pacha in Circassia , and a wonder is made of the
news . It appears , ¦ however , to be nothing more than-a'return to the normal state of things before the late war . The Circassians will probably go on beating the Hussians until they exhaust themselves in the process , and Circassia becomes n Russian county . The French note lauds the complaisance of the Pope , because his Holiness has been pleased to promise " clemency and internal reform . ' When would Pius IX . ever refuse such laudable requests ? Besides , he has no occasion to be discontented , if he makes concessions ho makes
conquests ; our contemporaries report the wonderful Popish arrangements in the church of Hurst , under the administration of the Rev . Mr . Cameron . Tlie gentleman ' s parishioners appealed to Bishop Wiu 3 erfokce , who disapproved of the innovations against the wish of the parish , and appears to have sentenced him to discontinue . Why should the Pope complain ? Again , George
Anthouy Denison has turned the position of John Bird , Archbishop of Canterbury ; not only has he discovered by his counsel that all the Thirty-nine Articles are not in the statute of Elizabeth , under which he was prosecuted , but he has appealed from the Archbishop to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council , who have to pronounce upon the question of the real presence . Why should the Pope complain ?
The extreme anti-Papal party has caused and shared a horrible calamity . One of the lowest of the ' low , ' in point of theology , was the ll <; v . Mr . Spurgeon ; a Baptist minister usually described as belonging to the Wuitfiem > school . His chapel became so overcrowded that it was necessary to take it down and rebuild it , and he is meanwhile wandering about in concert-rooms or other buildings capable of holding his flock . He
• held forth' on Sunday in the concert-room of the Surrey Gardens , where an immense concourse had collected to hear him . Mr . Spurgeon ' s method of treating heretics and sin is gladiatorial ; it has in it something of the spirit of the prize court ; and a place of amusement , no doubt , had its association for the vast numbers who went to hear an Sunday . : The concert-room was overfilled , and some one raised a cry of 'Fire ! '' There was instantly a chaotic attempt to escape . Neither Spuhgeoh , nor his friends , nor the policemen , nor the detectives in plain clothes , nor the commencement of a sermon on the text " And the wicked are in . tlie
house of the Lord , could rally the fugitives . They rushed forth , shrieking , hollowing ,, and trampling on each other ; and many were killed or maimed . Such are the effects of preaching by a popular . ' low' dissenter . Why should the Pope be displeased ? In the political world all is flatness . The Observer announces that there are to be systematic Cabinet Councils , commencing next month ; there is also to be a deliberate consultation with the parliamentary heads of departments on the measures to be introduced next session . For Ministers aTO resolved not to be defeated aorain .
Meanwhile , members have been parading before their constituents . Mr . Disbaem , for example , at an . agricultural meeting in Buckinghamshire , said—nothing . Sir Stafford Nobthcote , has appeared before his constituents at Dudley , whom , he lectured on affairs in general , foreign and domestic , after the approved fashion of an intellectual , prudent , and rather unpolitical Peelite . The Comniander-in-Chief has followed up his intentions in reorganizing the army on its reduction , and a Memorandum on the subject has
issued from the Horse Guards . Besides the reduction of regiments on the new plan , there appear to be various new arrangements with reference to the distribution of duties . On the whole , the effect of the Memorandum may be described as indicating a great increase in the attention required from the senior oflicers , in diligence and study from the junior oflicers , in exerciso for tlie
men , in the orderly keeping of the barracks , and all military establishments . In short , the Duke of Cambridge is teally following up his plan of a gradual but thorough reform in the army ^ Great satisfaction has been occasioned by tho ydir ' arrangement respecting the hands , whicftS h # tre ' . ' . . '' , ' hitherto been a charge upon the officers , BitU ^ t 'V-. ' - '' .- / / , V being a corresponding benefit to the men . / - , v ! j U I — •; ¦'"• . - , .
