      THE Kings continue to visit Paris , and Sardinia has already left his own dominions , attended by his Ministers , to take council at the capital of Napoleon . The King will come on to England , but he will only spend five days in this country . The real business of his journey , we are led to infer , will be commenced and completed in Paris ; he will find in that city the disposer of events , and will probably learn how far , though no farther , he may extend his frontiers southwards . Considering tliat the conflict which is now suspended in the East will next year be resumed upon a wider field and on a larger scale , the visit of the King must probably be considered the great event connected with the war for the present week . There can be little doubt that the terms of the combination for tl ^ e ensuing year are now under discussion , and will be to a great extent settled at this visit . Unfortunately it happens that the public of . this country and of France receive no light whatever upon the nature of their arrangements while they are under discussion . We shall learn what they- are when it is too late to remedy them , or to modify their results . It is not exactly so with Piedmont . The King will be accompanied by Ministers who most certainly represent the people of that- country , and wlio could be removed from office if they were not plnccd there by the great majority of the entire people . The political life of these statesmen is pledged to their success . Nay , their life in history m-as deeply pledged , and unquestionably they who represent Piedmont and ( &noa , to say nothing of Savoy and . Sardinia , would not permit any arrangement inimical to the interests of their nfttive country . So far the objects of publicity are gained with respect to Piedmont . England , and , still more , France , are represented by proxies who do not keep such short accounts . The Emperor , who is receiving the visit of the Kino from Northern Italy , who has his own fcriUrted servants in Sweden and in Switzerland , closed the Exposition last week with a significant 'ftiht to German Governments , convoyed through the representatives of the German peoples At the Art Parliament in Paris . Ono of the most striking 'Ntatfttoits of the day was not displayed at that ik

      exhibition : it is the floating battery , which was sc successful at Kinburn , and which is to be applied in much greater force in the Baltic during the campaign of 1856 . Our own representatives in the Northern Sea , indeed , have not been enlightened on the subject of these future operations . Impatient as they may be to signalise themselves , they await the word of command from Paris ; and the Parisian scheme , so far as we can judge it by the overt acts , embraces an immense field of operations , comprising directly , or indirectly , the Baltic , Sweden , Germany , and Switzerland . If forced to carry on the contest , Napoleon will be obliged to throw into it new forces , and he appears to be mustering his allies and supporters with great industry , and at present with great success . Austria has made a counter demonstration , which threatens to give the war of principles a new turn . Her operations now penetrate into many countries not hitherto involved jm the contest ; an Imperial patent , issued-early in . the present month ; promulgates the concordat made with Rome in August last , and gives to that treaty throughout the Austrian empire the force of law . On the face of the text , it is limited in its intended working to the territories of the Ejjmpjcrqr—namely , to Austria , Hungary , Bohemia , Lombardy , Venice , Dalmatia , Croatia , Slavonia , Galicia , Lodomeria , and Illyria . This list , it will be observed , comprises provinces in the East of Europe , in the centre , in Germany , Poland , Switzerland , and such representative provinces through which Austria reaches all those divisions of the continent . Ostensibly , the concordat secures no fresh privileges for the Em peror , but simply surrenders new powers which the Popes have vainly demanded from the Em-• pesrorb of Germany and of Austria , —confirms those which the Popes have held more or less succewcftilly , —and surrenders some that have been constantly denied by the predecessors of Francis Jqjbbph . It declares the Roman Catholic religion to bo for ever established in the Austrian empire ; and although reservations must be understood with reference to the Lutheran provinces , those reservations are made in this compact ; and the direct provisions no doubt will be employed by the Roman clergy to over-ride the immunities of the Protestants . We have already had a specimen of that in Bohemia , where the Prelates resented encroachments on the non-Catholic population .

      The superintendence of education is handed over to the bishops and clergy , for public as well as private schools . To them is consigned the revision of books , the civil power being pledged to suppress ; those which are , dangerous or hostile to the faith ; episcopal courts are to be established for adjudicating upon questions relating to the spiritual relation of marriage and the validity of betrothments . Thus education , literature , and . marriage , in an Empire under the King of Hungary and Bohemia , , are absolutely handed over to the Pope . , The property of the Church is strengthened with > new revenues and a new tenure : the Emperor countersigns a document by which the Pope consents to levy tithes where they still exist , and to . accept compensation where they have been abo- I lished ; the Church is declared free to acquire new , ; property , all its present and future property are ' ; declared to be inviolable , and the Emperor , by implication * is pledged , to increase the revenues of the Church where new revenues are wanted . The organisation of the Church is t 6 be strengthened and extended : it is empowered to unite , divide , and re-distribute its sees and rectories ; to introduce n « w regular orders of both sexes , and to enforce its own discipline upon the clergy . Anciettt i immunities . of the clergy are revived and strengthened ; priests and regulars accused of criminal ¦ , offences must be treated with official respect , must I be kept separate from ordinary culprits , con lined in ecclesiastical buildings , and brought for spiritual judgment 1 before their bishop . Lest any thin should be omitted in this new deed of possession for the Roman Catholic Church throughout tlie Austrian Empire , an article of the Concordat stipulates that everything else relative to ecclesiastics and clerical matters , which is not mentioned * in these articles , shall be arranged ^ and managed according to the doctrines of the Church , and tuo discipline which is approved by the Papal Chair . ¦ Another article declare » that the Vopb i « placed , through the priesthood , in direct communication with the people , independently of the rule of the State .

      " The one Idea which History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity—the noble endeavour to throw down , all the barriers erected between men Dy prejudice rand one-sided views ; and oy , setting aside the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development . of our spiritual nature .
