Bat, it nand be denied that an impatient* of the war sad its hardess—a loogiag desire to see peace restored— lee for some time book pervaded the French ratio.. The accounts from the Gimes of the sanitary state of the French army are the mass of eatidesterl. And to all appearance France im at this ..mono threatened with a financial crisis. As for Ramis, her audition is deplorable. Five hundred thousand and ard trained troops have melted sway, like now WON the breath of spring. Whole villages Sr. sopeopled of their adult maim. Men are want ing to till the soil. The Imperial Treasury is drained, and there ars no mesas to replenish it; entire districts are beggared and their tames an owe years in weer. The peasantry and the trading Ones are impending; the nobility areas rattiness as &yokes sailors oar bird a wreck. Ent in England all industrial pursuits are in a perfectly healthy audi tion The paean of war taxation has scarcely hero to be Mt. The errors and mismanageneat whisk marked the besieging of the war have led to easter efforts, which leave es in possession do army admirably disciplined, in high health and excellent dispositions. To the "Leviathans of the deep"—the wester screw shin of the line in which we prided ouralves what the first Baltic fleet rendezvoused at flpithead—have beet added each an array of mortar- boats and gun-boats as the world has never before seen. England has always been proud of her navy, but never with more just sane than new, so satinet* is it in every arm, whether for ahem er for attack. While the attachment of our population to commercial pursuits bee in no degree abated, the events of the teat few years have re-awakened that military spirit which appeared to be slumbering.

The dine of Russia's Bieck &afloat lie rotting beneath the waters of the Panne. and her naval arsenals on that sea—incladieg the faainland Nieolaieff sad JiberSMl —will soon have ceased to exist. An opportunity is alorded to Twiny of renewing her youth by her own internal efforts, undisturbed by even the fear of foreign aggression. This is all that foreign triads tan aseonsplish km any nation; the net mad he its own work. astresemers tell as, with a confidence which estessemers, of all men, have • right to entertain, that we ere is near neighbourhood (astronanicelly eimakisg) of sa old comet, which our forefathers of emote and still remoter ',aerations looked at with emotion stringer, so doubt, thaa oars will be whim the wanderer comes awe mere into human claw.

We shall have intelectual pleasures of comparisou, eel social oees of program, which are worth ell the emotions that barbarous or halfarilised mat clan babe( to their fetish worship of ran natural objects. Of the momenta of this comet before the period of asthmatic history salting seems to be known. Hew loog it had fled flaring through epees, sad how ease it bad prompted itself to human gaze before its appearance was recorded, there is no saying at pre ssed; though it is Doeceivable that a future peers ties may know more then we.

Farther espierations of the hearses and the earth may this jay open to human imagination the picture of this i asset and a more ascent earth than we reed ef— face to face. While waiting for that disclosure, the reselset notice that we bare of this comet is hi A.D. sin ; and there may be some doubt whether that story is tree. Tater the word of the learned for it, however, we mesa bet be touched and impressed by the thought of who the men were that saw what we ere shoat to use.

It is probable that the King and his daosadants looked on the strange star as a prophet—he with fear, and they es en a cue of proved fasetion. The next appearasee, in 995, was airrevaded with even deeper awe. What disclosures had time made, ITTOD in our own island! ALPS= the GAZA! had lived and died, and human history was enriched for ever,—its emends' illuminated by se bright a star as any of the hest. DUNSTAN had lived and died; and his reeewmor seemed his place in the veryyear of the comet. The effigy of the proud priest of the middle ages was stamped on every Englishman's heart, and the uprising of religious establishasenba on :every band, till ose•third of the kingdom was in the hands of the Church, prevented their forgetting the aims and efforts of the holy man who had, so evibentreated Baton himself. Yet the ignorance of the people was fast deepening, after some revival of light ; and mason the gems at the comet were men and women who had stolen away into the forest or among the hills, to teach their children to worship tree or fountain, or idol of stone.lProbably they worshipped the emu itself ; for Lena, moos, and lire were moo, the objects that the clergy were desired to keep them from adoring. Bat ander the panic and misery of Danish iIICONSCOS, the smarm preyed to everything suggested to them, in hope of mese free NOM guar. ter ; and even now the Danish raven was an the wing to their shores. The comet which stood above the woods to the British peasantry aimed over the waters in the path of the sea-rovers. Between in vasion and piracy from abroad, the loss of cattle from the murrain at home, and the deaths of great men, the comet might well appear a sign of wrath and a messenger of disaster. The ant Mewl wee shorter; bat it seams to us. I • lessiint of the ?alum of the rands. that greater and mem various evens had occurred than darn' the former. When the some; announced itself in 1284, the world was still ringing with the fame of &note Ewan, who had died seven years before. The East was thrown open to men's imaginations, and in a measure to their exploration. The Pews probably peed oa the comet from the steppes of Central Asia. and it was in the very year of this spreads that China became known to Europe as a substantial reality. The world wee in commotion. China, Ern, and Poland were at once invaded by Maple OM Tartan, and the momest wee drawing mar for Goths of the Ottoman Empire. Ia Europe the life 411 lie Church was the life ef sosiety at that time ; #the Mardi was very actin. Missionaries in iiseerts or remote cities of our hemisphere, when delving to make Christian of men wavering between idolatry and Islamism, might be tempted to do as the Greek priests is amnia did two yean sines—point out the comet as the star of Bethlehem, mat as a sign of their mimics. In the schools of Europe the autho rity of AZISTOTLI was tottering. It was the I I period of his partial Wipes, to be fol. lowed by a renewal of the term of his glory. In England. Oxford wee still rising; and in this very i year Bailie' College was building. Bat than were monkish retreats where seisms was prosecuted in • quiet way while Madam were wrangling about words. The want shine on the audio of Doss Samos (bora deeper before); bat there were grown men then talking as vainly as Dues kenos was about to do. There was another Beotchatan, however, at work on physical science, in pursuit of which the comet would be a welcome object. The Wizard, MICHAILL BOOTC—more mathematician and scholar than sorcerer—was one of the star-gazers of that day; and another wee Ram BACON. Ono wooden whether be inquired of the beams head whence the comet came. As far the rest of the English world, it bad learned and gained much daring the interval. There bad been so great a fair ordered by Lag BENAT (for the sake of the tolls he took there) that people's minds began to search though blindly, abm the principles of ONENIATIO. There wee an attempt at present to stop the strife between Log Old IBerene and at the beginning of this year Lome the NINTH of France, as arbitrator, bed pronounced for the Charter being nab illbed, though his sympathies were with the Lag. Bat, is spite of all mediation, the battle of Lewes wined, sad the meet glared above the battle-Gehl where 6,000 Beglialtreen lay slaughtered. Above all other changes mast be noted that whisk has connected that century with every salisequest of our political life. There had been • real parlia ment held is England.

There will probably be much difference of opinion uto the policy of the note in to-day's Monitory, which announces in substance that no political am nesty will be granted on the occasion of the birth of the Prince, because none is necessary to enable all political exiles or transports to return t•, France on the simple condition—which many, perhaps most people, will think very just and reasonable—of ac knowledging the existing Government. The Emperor, therefore, merely renews the offdr which he made on the occasion of his sr Tuition of the throne, the which offer has been contemned, as it appears, up to this day by 1764 people, who have preferred for years to endure the miseries of exile, the grinding pains of poverty in a foreign land, and even the horrors of a convict's life in a penal colony, rather than return to their country upon the condition of passing under the yoke. Is it wise to admit to the world that these 1764 men are so dangerous to the state that they cannot safely be permitted to enter France?

The coadact of the police towards the members of the Jockey Club in the month of Jane last year in ' chased my brother to lodge a complaint, 'filth led to the poni-hisont, for breach of discipline, and the removal of Hort D—, the lieutenant of police, sad it afforded to my brother the utisfaction of seeing the official ►cts of Hen D— condemned se ucjuatiflable, and as irjurions to the patties who had suffered by them. In • conversation that t-ok place reepectiog this affair between ay brother, sczompaniod by Herr —, and the Director 0, natal of Polka vote Hiackeldey,the latter made to them a cusasaunication which my brother consioered himself bound—after he bad taken down the expreisioje, and verified their accuracy by written sal verbal oonferenee with Herr —, to repeat to two other gentlemen, the parties most concerned. One o 1 theses gentlemen, belonging to the military profession, considered himeelt obliged in come queues to lay the case before the Council of Honour, which step caused the putting of a question to Herr von Hinckeldey. In reply, Herr von Hinckeldey deemed officially that he had not made that communicatins to Herr von Rozhow and Herr —. The military tribunal above named, upon receiving this answer, declined proceeding further in the amt. lhr„ugh Herr von Hinckeldey's da cha declaration, my brother lay under the imputation of having attend en untruth; bet being, on his side, esse ironed that he had strictly and faithfully reported the en • premions of Hen von Hinckeldey, be caseplained through the official channel, nod demanded, by stating the affair and bringing forward Herr -- as • witness, that Herr von Hinckeldey should he made acquainted with his plaint, and that be should be induced to make such a declaration u to reader it passible for him (the oomplaiiaint) to alter his cp:nion that Herr vita kinclieldey bad c tlicially uttered an untruth. This plant led to mites other steps, bat in the camas itself to no farther result than the judicial decision, imparted to my brother, that no r.iisson appsnesd for cam/ally proswentina the matter. Is the coarse of these negotia•io-is it transpired that Herr von Hinckeldey thought and maintained that his com• sinniestion had aot been ea represented, and that it did not bur the conetracdon put on it by Messrs. von Rochow and —, but that he bad merely made it hyjothetically, and, moreover, onlidentia;ly. This latter suiertion wee not sainted to by my brother; oar the contrary, it was declared positively by him, aa well as by Herr —, that Herr von Hinekeldey had made no appeal to the discretion of himself or Herr —, in so far as that expression wee eorcerned, but solely for another part of the conversation, end upon this point ha and Herr -- were entirely agreed from the very first, when the purpoit of the conversation la ireestiora was verified between them. My brother attached such importance to this point that be made the omission of it by Heir von Hinckeldey the condition of a settlement sought to be arranged by tie mediation of a third party. This condition was also accepted by Herr von Hinckeldey, and thus en understanding was effected respecting the con tents t f • &eh ration which the latter was to maks touching the disputed expression that had given rise to the proceed ings. But an indentanliog not be effected respect ing the form in which this declaration was to be drawn up. The nee appeared quite as little to the judicial authorities es it did to Herr von Hinckeldey himself to warrant a legal plaint, 'Tee on the grounds of private wrong, elthongh my brother emphatieajly repudiated the insinuation made of his wishing to provoke • duel, and although he expremiy resorted to this judicial mode of vindication. Under such circumstances, my brother thought he need entertain no serape of presenting to one of the Ran leases named shave, who requests it, a copy of the rraolutio a adopted by the military tribunal, de clining the mediation of the Council of Honour, together with c mason of his own on the steps mistily taken cr intended to be taken by Dimwit with toe auttaritin in order to obtain as official settlement.
