I Mr. McDougall moving the resolution, made a long speech, in the first part of , which he recited in full the history of i the North-West question, referring ful- ly to its mode of acquisition, and to the measures adopted for its government, as well as to the manner in which he had been turned back when he went to as- l sumo the Licut. Governorship of the ‘ $erritory. He said he had received a promise from Sir George E. Cartier that he would obtain for him the recom- mendation of the ccciesiasties of the- Roman Catholic Church, both in Quebec and Ontarioto their brethren in tht Red River, ashing of them to aid in securing peace and quietness in tha: eouhtry; but that promise had never Been fulfilled. On the contrary, he had received something very different from Carticr’s Government. The conduct of Joseph Howe, in the Red River settle- mentâ€"that of the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany’s Ollicers, and the Roman Catholic Priests, were very severely criticised. -â€" He next referred to the demands made by Sir Stafford Northcote, on behalf of the Hudson’s Bay Company, not only for their loss, but for the damage which had occurred to their trade in conse- quence of the revolt of their own people under their own Government. After ’ referring to the appointment of Bishor- ; Tachc, and the proceedings of the re cent meetings of the Red River Legisla- ture, in which Father Richot produced a letter from the Secretary of State, stating that two Ministers had been ap- pointed to confer with the delegates ap- pointed by the Provisional Government, thus contradicting the assertions of Sir John A. Macdonald, and other Ministers in the House of Commons last session, that the delegates were not received as representing the Government. Mr. Me Dougall referred to the provisions of the Manitoba Bill, and then took up the consideration of the above resolution.â€" Hc thoroughly agreed with the pro priety of sending a military expedition toâ€"thc Red River, which would see that lhw and order were to he maintained there and determined that the Fenian fig should no longer wave over Fort Garry and that rebels should not im- prison loyal peOple. (Applause) In addition to this the expedition was of great benefit in the Opening up of the country and deciding whether a summer line of communication from Lake Supe- rior to Winnipeg was practicable.â€" Apart from the military aSpect of the question, it would be worth a large per-1 tion of the expenses of the expedition to 1 l have this matter decided. Twosthirdsi of the Red River people were loyal,hut 9 they had no means to do anything, and V they had heard besides that Canada was hesitating in her policy and squabbling with the Imperial Government. The Indians also were waiting to be inform- ed as to what they should do. He (the speaker) could rely upon them always when he was in the country and he con- sidered they were the most loyal men there. He did not require to say award as to national honor (referred to in the resolution); but he would say that any government which accepted the reins of power from rebels must do so only through fear. He did not think that the Canadian government was reduced to that position yetâ€"they were not forced to make ignominious terms with rebels, and as an individual he would say that he would feel himself degraded ‘ .. Resolved, That the preposal to recall, It the request of the agents of the rebel Government, the expedition now on its way to‘Fort Garry to establish law and erder, would be an act of supreme fully ; an abdication of authority destructive of all confidence in the protection afford- ed to loyal subjects by a Constitutional Government; a (hath-blow to our national honor; and calls for the prompt and indignant condemnation of the peo. ple of this Dominion. THE RED RIVER EXPEDITIUN. A public meeting was called on Fri- Jay night last in Toronto todisenss some very extraorclinary questions in relation to Red River affairs, and tire present expedition to that country. Reports Sad been rife that vigorous efforts were Being made to induce the Imperial authorities to pardon Riel and lzis in- famous associates concerned in the mur- der of the unfortunate Canadian Scott, and that the Government contemplated the recall of the Red River expedition Before it reaches Fort Garry. The meeting had been called by the President of thé City Council, Alder- man D’Arcy Boniton, in compliance with anumcrously signed requisition, based on the rumors to which we have all’nd‘ed. ' The chair was occupied by Mr. D’Arcy Boultnn, and around him on the platform sat Hon. Wm. McDougall, C. 3., Messrs. Kenneth McKenzie, J. D. Edgar, W'm. Henderson, G. T. Denimn, Hugh Scott, T. H. O’Neil, W. A. Foster, Andrew Fleming, Alderman F. H. Medea”, E. Crombie, S. Harvard, R. Beynoldsfll. P. Gowan, and Dr. Oldwrigbt. Mr. D’Arcy Boniton read the requi- oition in explanation of the object of the meeting, and having made a short speech in denunciation of the murder of Scott, he called upon the ”on. “’11). Mc- Dongall to move the first resolution, which was as foilows : h) remain under a flag that had been trailed in the dust. by making ignom- inions terms with rebels.

THE {‘MNESTY @flESTlflN. SPEEC HES END RESOLUTIONS. Capt. James Bonnet seconded the re- solution, and said that the previous speakers had not treated the subject properlyâ€"they had been handling the subject with their gloves on. They should take their gloves off. The time had passed when they should not call a «pade an agricultural implement.â€" (Checrs.) A spade should be called a spade. The question was in fact one between the Catholics of LJwer Canada and the Protestants of Ontario. The Government has sent to Rome for Rishnl. "l‘ache to come back and settle the dis- pute in Red River which he had assist- ed in fomenting. (Cheers) He main. tained that the pepole of Canada should have been able to settle and put down rebellion in any part of the Dominion without calling upon Bishop Taehe.â€"- l And the Bishop had actually carried ‘ hack the Pope’s blessing to rebelsâ€"his dear children-in Red River. (Cheers) He proceeded at seine length to urge ;' the importance of sending the expedition ' forward, and exhibited a rope which he said had bound peer Scott when the A rebels led him out to shoot and butcher ‘ himâ€"(the exhibition of the rope creating a sensation.) He hoped that the people of Ontario would be true to themselves and vote for the best and most loyal men in future, in order that rebels and murderers might be punished. (Cheers) Resolvedâ€"“That the overthrow by the rebels of the existing Government in the lied River territory by force of arms, the seizure and appmpriation to their own purposes of private preperty. the imprisonment and ill treatment of Canadians and loyal natives, the barbar- ous murder of one of their prisoners, Thomas Scott, the cruel expulsion in mid-winter of those who refused to join them in their unlawful proceedings, and their extravagant demands upon the Canadian Government under threat of further outrages and the transfer of their allegiance to a foreign country, de- prive the leaders of the conspiracy of all sympathy and call for prompt punish- ment to the perpetrators of such crimes.” Mr. Edgar urged that it would be a disgrace to recall the expedition, which had been sent forward to Red River, as the meetings which were recently held in Toronto and Ontario generally had the efi’ect of making the Government send it. The Minister of Militia had not sent the troops forward; but the people of Ontario had insisted upon the Government doing so. (Cheers) It had been stated that it was to save ex- pense that the expedition was to be re- called ; but this was the excuse, not the object. A pretty placeithis Red River would be to live in if an amnesty were: granted to the murderers of poor Scott. i (Cheers) He trusted that the peoplel of Ontario would not be disgraced by such action on the part of the Minister Of Militia. He hoped that the troops would be sent forward, and that justice would be done. (Cheers) It was dc sirable to make Manitobah as respect- able as Ontario, and in this province cattle like the rebels of Red River had their heads- shaved and were confined in‘ the Penitentiary. (Cheers) llehopedl the resolution would be carried.â€" (Cheers) Government passed through the city and on the following day an editorial came forth directly the opposite in its views. There were other indications that there was some intention to recall the eXpedition, and there was no doubt in his mind that if the Government thought they could do 80 safely they would recall it. ' Alderman Medcalf seconJed the re- ' solution, in a short and effective speechg when it. was carried unanimously, amid i enthusiastic cheem. ‘ z Mr. J. Edgar moved the second re- solution as follows :â€" The resolution was carried amid cheering. Col. G; T. Denison, j'v.,. moved the next resolution as folil'ows :â€" Resolvedâ€"“In view of the proposed amnesty to Riel and withdrawal of the expedition, this meeting declaresâ€"That the Dominion must and shall have the North-West territory in fact and in name; and if our Government through weakness or treachery cannot or will not protect our citizens in it, and recalls wur volunteers, it will then become the duty of the people of Ontario to organ- ize a scheme of armed emigration in order that those Canadians who have been driven from their homes may be reinstated ; and that, with the many who desire to settle in new fields, they may have a sure guarantee against the repe- tition of such outrages as have disgraced our country in the past;’tl1at the majes- ty of the law may be vindicated against all criminals, no matter by whom in- stigated or by whom protected; and that we may never again see the flag of our ancestors trampled in the dust, or a foreign emblem flaunting itself in any part of our broad dominion.” The speaker continued and said that some time ago he had addressed a meet- ing at the city hall respecting Red River affairs, and he was glad to know that‘ other meetings had resulted in having an expedition sent to lied River. But 1 now it was suggested that the expedition 1 should he recalled. He hOped that such a disgrace would not be placed upon the peOple of Ontario. (Cheers.) It had been stated that BishOp Tache, who carried the government of Maui- tohah somewhere under his pettieoats (loud laughter) was to conduct the Gov- ernor-General to Fort Garry and band over the government to him, but he held that the young men who had gone on the‘sxpedition would take possession of the Red River country in spite of BishOp Taehe, Father Bichot, and the murderer Riel. (Cheers) If there were to be any fighting done he , would like to be present with the expe- Editicn but if the tr00ps were to he re. 3 ’ . . gcalled he would not wish to be With 'h3m as he feared that he might feel I Mr. Kenneth McKenzie, in moving the third resolution, said : He was ap- posed to any country being under eccle siastical rule, and therefore he was up- posed to Bishop Tache having so much power in Red River as- was accorded to him. The speaker reviewed the acts of Bishop Tache on his visit to Red River after his return from‘Rome, to show that he was in collusion with the rebels; and he contended that the ex- pedition should go on at every sacrifice and expense. (Loud cheers.) If the expedition did not go on, Bishop Taehc and his associates would carry on the miserable system of Government by which the Red River country was now ruled. There were several" points in the resolution on which, as it was get- ting late, he would not comment. He moved “That whereas the declared policy of the Imperial Government is to throw upon this Dominion the burden of self-defence, whether against Fenians or others who may invade our territory to lay waste our homes, to paralyze our indusrry, and to slay our people; and, whereas, it has been deemed prudent, on the part of the Imperial Government, to avoid lacerating the feelings of the American authorities by any indelicate allusion to the wickedness of permitting organized bandits to make war upon us from American soil; but, on the con- Irary, it has been considered, by some writers in the English new3paper press. wise and kinsmanlike to censure a Brit- ish General for giving Canadian Volun- teers due credit for a victory won over those who attacked us with the avowed object of avenging themselves on Eng- land. And, whereas, in pursuance of the policy indicated, the Imperial troops have been withdrawn from the Domin- ion, for the probable purpose of being employed to guard the sacred soil of Belgium from hostile raids. Resolved -â€"'l‘hat is it the duty of our Govern- ment to recognize the importance of the obligation cast upon us as a peeple to strive, in the infancy of our Confedera- tion, to build up, by every possible means, a national sentiment such as would give a common end and aim to our words and actions; to make Cana. dians feel that they have a country which, if it cannot avenge those of her sons who suffer and die for her, can cherish their memory, and at least, res- pect their graves; and to let our fellow. Britons know that a Canadian shall not be branded before the world as the only subject whose allegiance brings with it no protection, whose patriotism wins no praise.” disinclined to return, believing ashe did that the expedition should go on in order that. the murderers might be punished. The Minister oilfilitin puns- dnee a rebel himself, but he had been kept loyal within the last few years by securing the title of K. 0.. BL Mr. Fleming seconded the resolution, which was carrieci- unanimously amid tremcm’lous cheering. The resolution was seconded by Mr W. A. Foster, and carried unanimously After the usual vote of thanks, the meet; ing adjourned. Projected Treaty of France and Prussia. LONDON, July ESLâ€"The Times pub- lishes the projected treaty submitted by France to the Prussian Government, and guarantees its authenticity. The preamble sets forth that the King of Prussia and the Emperor of the French, in order to strengthen their ties of friendship between the Governments, peOpIcs, c., hereby conclude the sub joined treaty :‘ In the first article Napoleon admits and recognizes thelate acquisitions of Prussia from Austria.â€" In the second, the Prussian King en- gages to Facilitate the French acqui sition of Luxembourg. In the third, the Emperor acquiesces in the union of the North and South German States, Austria excepted. In“ the fourth, France finding it necessary to absorb Belgium, Prussia lends her assistance to that measure. The fifth article is the usual one of offensive and defensive a1- liance between the two nations. A more extraordinary treaty was never issued under more extraordinary circumstances. Two riva‘l nations, fight ing for the extension of territory, sud- denly join cause and make arrangements for the absorption of the neighboring country! And the ambition of France stops short at nothing less than the ac- quisition of Belgium 5 England has been preparing her navy and placing her army on a war footing for the pro- tection of Belgium neutrality, While with amazing impudcnce, France and Prussia have disposed of it without as much as a whisper to England. Should this projected treaty be genu- ine, and should the two powers attempt to carry it out, a war involving Eng- land is inevitable. A gentleman, whose nose had become distinctly colored with the red wine he was wont to imbibe, said one day to his little son at the table, ‘yeu must eat bread, my boy ; bread makes your cheeks red.’ The little boy replied, ‘F'atlier, what lots of bread you must. have snuff- ed up .’ THE GREAT LEAP u m FALLS.â€" The Buflalo Etpress says that Mr. Frank Thorne, the young man who is tojump from the new Suspension Bridge into the river, a distance of one hundred and ninety feet, on the 13th of next month, is now in this vicinity making his final preparations for the daring feat. There are many who would scout the mere idea of any person attempting such an under- taking, hut Mix-Thorns avers that he means business. He is courageous and determined,'- and has good reason for anticipating success. Many failures are expected in Lon- don owing to the convulscd state 017 the money.- markeh " The Metropolit’gn DURHAM CHRONICLE. l A report has obtained currency that BishOp Tache, who appears to be at present in Canadaghasr come for the purpose of obtaining a pardon' for the rniscreant Biel and his associates in the crime of murder,â€" aud to persuade the authorities towithdraw the expedition now on its way to Manitobah. The rumor does not appear to be traceable to any more credible authority than that of some newspaper ‘Flibbertigeb- bet.’ The story furnished the 91069 with the material for a characteristic editorial, and the demagogues under the leadership of Mr. Wm. McDougall, with an Opportunity of serving them- selves by abusing the sympathies of the public. They first drafted a petition which reads, “ We the undersigned ratepayers of the city, of Toronto re- quest that you will be pleased to call a public meeting of the citizens df 'I‘oronto,to consider the present position of Red River affairs ; to protest against the granting of an. amnesty'to Riel, O’DonOghue, anl the other rebel lead- ers, and to express public indignation at a course which Would place a prem- ium on robbery and murder, c." This petition was signed,not by the “practical politician” who pulled the strings that moved the " Jumping Jack,” but by a number of the leading business firms of the city, presented to Mr. Boulton the acting mayor, who called- a public meeting, which was held in St. Law- rence Hall, on Friday evening last.â€" Bel‘ore referring particularly to the speakers and to the speeches, we remark that out of the' 68 signatures 36 are those of business firms, of companies formed for the purpose of conducting some particular business, and not for the purpose of indulging in the Insury . of a political conscience. For instance, Thos. Clarksou 8: Co. may have obtain. ed such a practical insight into the mysteries or privileges of insolvency as v to qualify them to wind up the affairs of others, but the Opinion of Thomas Clarksou 6L Co, on what constitutes robbery and murder has no mercantile value nor does the expression of it in- volve any personal responsibility. We are surprised to find the old orthodox firm of Bryce, McMurrich Co. deg parting from their legitimate calling of dealing in the transmutations of wools and shoddies. Who is Mr. Bryce ?-â€" Where does be live? Mr. Boulton, though a young president is an old member of the council. He may be following in the footsteps of his prede- cessors, or he may economi-o film put-z legs of addressing “these presents.”â€" The public will judge of the sufficiency of the reasons for calling the meeting by the case as made out at the meeting. It is no argument to say that the state. ments cfa lawyer are unworthy of credit 1 because his tongue can be purchased asl a calve’s head with money,neithcr would 1 it be safe, in all cases to assume that partisans are incompetent witnesses in matters of fact in which their party may be interested, but there is really no nucharitable ingredient in tho dispo- sition to be exceedingly cautious in dealing with the statements of-a poli- tician, so thoroughly practical, as Mr. Wm. )IeDougall. We approved of his appointment to the Gorernorship. We think that he has qualities which, if reasonably stimulated by pay and posi tion, may be turned to good account, but he has signally failed to inspire confidence in his honesty. The public will not tolerate a man who in season and out of season inflicts upon them a story of which he. is the hero, although he may interlard it with patriotic senti- ments and affected bursts of indignation. If Mr. McDougall or Mr. Kenneth Mackenzie imagine that they can affect public opinion they will be doomed to disappointment. The former is Open to an engagement, and the latter would regulate his torrent of forensic clognence in defense of all the murderers in Red River, by the measure of‘a retainer“. For ourselves we do not believe that the government will forstall the mission of justice. We share in the cur-rent conviction that Riel was a willing in- strument in provoking the rebellion and in accomplishing the murder. The hands of the Bishop and the Priest have invariably applied the brakes to civilization. They would have been unfaithful to the traditions of their order, if they neglected so favorable an apportunity of indicating the blessed- ness of popular ignorance. \Ve have faith in the ultimate tri- umph of justice, though very many of those who volunteer to be the avengers of blood, are incapable of adjusting the balance. In the eye of the law an of- fending Pricst is equally amenable with the humblest member of his flock, and according to an intelligent social esti- mate his ofl'ence is aggravated because of his supposed superior intelligence-.â€" Justice analyzes evidence and calmly listens to the testimony of competent witnesses.~ A court of justice is in all respects unlike the court which pro- nounced judgement upon the govern- ment in Toronto on Friday last.- The advocates were all on one side, and every one of them had a personal end; to accomplish in conducting the jury to ‘ a verdict of guilty. The scene shifting was admirably performed, execpt that Captain Burnett nould have been more sensationally efl'ective if he had not exhibited the rape by which poor Scott lwas bound, until after the collapse of {Kenneth Mackenzie, lleavy bullying THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1870.

HoWever these are mere matters of taste, in which matters Torontoandiences are,.or ought to be excellent judges. The have from Europe in reference to the reapecti'v'e positions of France and Prussia has no 'uncertainty about it;but afl- to the purposes of other powers the telegrams stein some in- stances absurd and in others contradict- o‘ry. The desire no doubt is that the original parties to the combat should decide between themselves the question of championship. The preponderance of sympathy is with Prussia. The causel assigned by France for its precipitate? action is regarded as mere pretenceâ€".1 The results of the-campaign in Austria,‘ in the summer of 1866,awakened doubtsi where no doubts before existed,~ of the relative strength of the great continent: a1 armies. The Prussian system for defensive warfare and for ofl‘ensive operations suddenly became an object of interest, and emulation, to the rest of Europe. The French government im. mediat‘ely, and perhaps hastily avowed that the existing armies of the Empire were not sufficient to maintain its mili- tary renown against so formidable a- neigbbor. A bill was immediately introduced to provide a force of 800,000 men. This was a deplorable result of the political changes which had been effected“ by Prussia. Enormous stand- ing armies are a reproach to our age and a standing menace to peace. The army of- France is put down at about one third more than the figures we have given, but it is a question whether the really efl'ective force which she can take to the field exceeds half the num- ber stated. No deubt, however, if the military spirit of Franceâ€"41nd it is ex- citableâ€"is fairly arowsed immense sacrifices will be made, and’ very great exertions put forth. But it must be recollected that there is an influential, intelligent, peace party in France, and that thepopularity of the Emperor is more apparant than real. The existing state of things is felt to be dependent upon his personal authority, the Idea of the termination of his reign is become- ing as much an object to the timid and of perplexity to the wavering as the incoherent threats of anarchy. Even the most devoted adherent cannot view this state of things without apprehen- sion. M. do Tocqueville a Frenchman of remarkable ability, wrote as follows shortly after the coup de tat of the 2nd Dec., 1851: “Although this government has es- tablished itselfby one of the greatest crimes recorded in history, nevertheless it will last for some length of time unless it precipitates itself to destruc- tion. It will last till its excesses, its wars, its corruption, have efl'aced in the public mind, the dread of soelansm; a change requiring time. God grant that in the interval it may not end in a manner almost as prejudicial to us as to itself in some extravagant foreign en- terprise. We know it but too well in France, governments never escape the law of their origin. The government which comes by the army, which can only last by the arm-35., which traces back its popularity and even its essence to the recollections to military glory, this gov- ernment willhe’ fatally impelled to seek for aggrandisement of territory, and for exclusive influence abroad, in other 'words, to war. That at last? is what I Lfear,-a'nd' what all reasonable men dread as I do. War would assuredly be its death, but its death would perhaps cost dearf’ 'l bees are prophetic words founded upon a severe analysis of historic pre- cedents. The conflict of the armies, though it may be decisive of the degree of brute force wielding mechanical ap- pliances, of which the respective cem- batant‘s may be permitted to boast, will not entirely allay that feeling ofjealous sensitiveness with which the atmOSphere is so abundantly charged. To which side mere military success may attach itself is, at present, speculative. A French military authority complains that the present French soldier u‘nwil- l ,lingly pays even the customary marks of respect to his officers, that t‘hcpr'est'zye of military rank has become eXcee'ding- ly faint, and that the prestige of superior merit or moral worth is altogether want- ing. On the other hand, those who have studied the formation of the 'Prussian army believe that from the advanced education of all ranks in that country, and that from-‘- the peculiar,: local organization of the several corps, they posses the elements of. military ‘ strength in a very high degree,-.and that iin Germany social rank and personal station lend additional force to military authority. The success of Prussia is what most people desire. Napoleon has never been a favorite. He has been feared and regarded as a clever, bad man. There is not much in the career or character of Bismarkâ€"the ruling spirit in Prussia-=60 inspire general confidence. Success might possibly pave the way for an alliance with a northern semi-barbaric power that would be dang. erous to the liberties of mankind- An alliance, could it have been main. tained‘, between France and England, would have, in our view, been the beat. security of public law and peace, but unhappily pepular passions, military pride and political interests supply motives, in which reason has no share, and from the present temper, of at least two continental governments, we may fairly draw the lamentable conclusion that “peace on earth, ” will, for some time to come, he a stranger.
