Lott, with two weeks later news from all parts of Europe, arrived at Halifax on April the 1 8th, at 10 o'clock. By the mail steamer Spitfire, at Halifax, Reqaeval, who had gone personally, in company with the two Admirals, to make a last effort to accomplish a conciliatory arrangement, had returned to Naples on the 28th, all attempts having been alto gether fruitless previous to this last effort. The Admirals had sent a steamer to make a circuit of the Island, touching at ail the principal ports and roadsteads to make known the last offers presented, with the mediation of France and England. The answer given was one unanimous cry of war from the whole population. The M a. without any serious encounter.

ENGLAND. Parliament adjourned for the Easter re cess, and met again on the 9th inst. The two main objects which have divided its attention, have been the Navigation bill and the Rate-in-Aid bill for Ireland, which latter has branched out ;nto a general de bate on the policy to be pursued toward that country. It will be seen that some important modifications have been made in the Navigation bill. The revenue re turns for the financial year and quarter ending on the 5th inst., show a continuous thougli not a very great improvement in the Customs revenue. There is an in crease of 1,1 GO, 554 as compared with previous year. In the Excise department there is an increase of jL5G0,632.

The Austrians having completely routed the Piedmontese and driven them to the mountains, Charles Albert abdicated the throne in favor of his son, Victor Emanuel, and a flag of truce being sent to the Aus trian tent, Marshal Radetsky at once ac ceded to an armistice. The new King pledges himself to conclude a Treaty of Peace, to disband ten military companies of Hungarians, Poles, and Lombards, who are received.

Like William Tell, Louis Kossuth is no to be dismayed at a superior force or har rassed into abandoning the great purpose for which he is striving. France is now quiet, and her govern ment appears to be established on a firm basis. The law and order party are gra dually increasing in strength and there seems to be now little reasonable doubt of the stability of the French Republic. On our own Continent there begin to be signs indicating that no great period of time will elapse before Canada will assume her position as a free country. A bill has recently passed the Provincial Parliament providing that all those parties who sus tained losses by the attempt at Revolution in 1837 shall receive indemnity at the hands of Government. The Royalist party strenuously opposed the measure but they were out-voted and should they strive to prevent the provisions of the act from being carried into execution, there will be another struggle for independence, differing from that of 1837, inasmuch as it will be successful. The French inhabi tants, encouraged by the example of their kindred in Europe, have resolved to be free in fact, even if they be nominal y under the English rule, and they will suc ceed.
