A SHORT ANSWER TO A PERSON WHO DOES’NT DESERVE A LONG ONE. Mr. William Sterns, postmaster at St. Peter's, has written a letter to the last Is/ander, in which he asserts that the late

rebela, but to coerce them into an acceptance of the promised amnesty, for it has been aseerted that our troops have received positive instructions not to fire ot the enemy, but patiently wait till he fired first. The result of all this ie. that the columns are now again in pareuit of the fugitive rebel, and it is only to be hoped that on coming up with them our generald will act upou iheit own respoasibiiity, and do ther duty. W hile writing this we learn that General Napier overtook the force under Ferezeshab at Ranod. , and defeated it with great sinughter, thas.clearly proving that as goon as the direct influence of the Commander-in-Chief ceases, end generals act upon their own judgment, a grest ard crowning victory is the resu't.

McDonald—a staunch Liberal member. man who entered the yrotest, Hon, Roderick MeAulay was in Town, waiting to be installed in the scat. There was also a yrotest against Mr. Cooper's return. The seats of the Hons. Messrs. Coles and Kelly were to be contested. it was under- stood that the seat of anothér Liberal member from Tignish. that of Mr. Gaudet, would be challenged, on the assumed but false ground of his having a defective qualification. And the lion. Mr. Montgomery was in town, ready to claim the seat to which Mr. Ramsay had been clected by an overwhelming majority, because the former gentleman hay pened to have been the next candidate on the poll. Ilere, then, weie six of the Liberal party who might be thrown out of their seats by the most arbitrary and tyrannical proceedings, if the Tories were once allowed to get a footing in the Ilouse. We haye shown | that the ntintbers would be cqual on both sides if the Liberals consented to let one of their party become Speaker ; and as soon as the Speaker had been elected from the Liberal side, the Tories*would commence their factious proceedings against one of the contested Liberal seats; and the member whose position would bo thus assailed could not vote himself on any question appertaining to his title to tho seat, so that the Liberal side would, in the first instance, be reduccd down to thirteen, while the fourteen would contend that the member whose seat was thus challenged had no right to it; and thus they would proceed until they had expelled the whole six Liberal members.

Suck being the aspect of affairs in the House, the Liberals at once concladed that it would be better to let the election of Speaker become the test of power, and with that view the jion. Cul. Seeretary proposed Juhn Longworth, Esqr., to fill

sceno of authority were set at defiance. Tory party were on their Jegs, all at the same tine attempt- ing tu harangue the audience, to the utmost power of their lungs—serecching, roaring and gesticulating like madmen ; while the people in the gallery and on the red benches were yelling, hissing, cheering and groaning by turns. After a fear!u! hurricane, which lasted nearly ten minutes, the Clerk was allowed to read the Governor's Speech, above given, and as he pronounced the last words, sending forth the fiat of dis- solution, three cheers were proposed from the Liberal side of the House, which were repeated over and ever again, in the midst of which the Liberal members in a body left the House. Then the Tories, thinking they might as well rejoice, or pretend to rejoice at the dissolution as well as their opponents, com- menced to indulge in a little cheering on their own account ; but it was evident to every body that they had no heart in the business. And as they cheered, the strangers and lookers on hissed at them, when they desisted from their hypocritical display ; and the Hon. Mr. Palmer then rushed across the iluuse, as if seized with a sudden fit—lald violent hands on the Hon. Donald Montgomery, who had got within the body of the House, and hustled and pushed him into tle Speaker's chair, converting the Ilouse at once into the arena of a public meeting. Mr. Montgomery, of course, made a speech, which it would be exceedingly difficult for any one toreport,—it was, however, a fierce attack upon the Government for dissolving the House.

The British, Foreign 2nd Colonial Mails arrived her on Thursday evening last. The subjoined extracts from our latest papers contain nearly all the news worth noting.

THE QUESTION OF WAR.

The Paris correspondent of the Herald, writing on the night of the 27:h, says :—“* The opinion 1s new o!most universal in

Paris thet a crisis has arrived in the offuirs of Curepe more momentous than any which has arisen since the wars of the | firs empire. A stall party, however, belonging chiefly tothe | monied interest, still fondly cling to the hope that war may be | averted, and that the warning voice ef Lord Derby’e cabine: | will euceecd in persuading the three powers now prepsriag for | the figit to sbanden their dangeronscrmrse, Among the lower | clesses the wer feeling, stimulated by La Presse and the Stec/e, is growing daily more is.tense. ‘Phis feeling ts farther pro- | moted by the present necertanity which depresses trade, and | consequently the lebor market.””

The Independance says, the British Cabinet neglect no effort | prevent war, but if the [derby Ministry should be overthrown by | a Palmerston administration the Independance ventures to 4s- sert that the probability of war would be greatly increased, and it pretends that the solution of the question of pesce or war rests with England. ,

The Paris correspondent of the Zimes, in a despatch dated the night of the 27th, seys :—** Conmadictory facts and con- tradictory rumours sre still the order of the dey. There are reports that it is on the political attitude of England that war is in reality dependent. There 1s aleo a report that M. de Per signy is likely to ga to England once more as ambassador. His re-appointment would be regarded as 4 sign of peace. So greaf is the uncertanity as to the future that ministers them- selves probably do not know what will come out of the present crisis.””

According to the Paris correspondent of the Times and Herald the preject of warding off hostiluves by couvoking.a Congress is uugatory. The Vienna correspondent of the Zimss is positive that Austria would never consent to the Italian question being settled by an European Congress.

In the Vienna correspoident of the Times it is reported that Austria and Russia appear to be on better terms, and it ts re- lated that a letter from the Emperor Alexander to the Euperor Francis Joseph has been received, which the latter considered extremely satisfactory. Tne pretensions of the Emperor Na-
