But there are generally two sides of a question, and both should be carefully ex. I amined ere a judgment be formed. Every thing that is witnessed in France, independent of what is per.: ceptible elsewhere, tends to moderate such satiguitbe , anticipations as prognosticate the immediate humilia- 1 tion of that country in the downfal of its Govern.: meat. llowever, the campaign for this object will I speedily be opened with what force the friends of the BOURBONS can muster. The plan, we are told, was agreed upon at the late interview between the I Duke of WELLINGTON and Prince BLUCHER. The Prussian troops appear to be tolerably forward, and the arrival of the Russians , seems to be the I only cause of delay. " The cry is still they come," and still it would . appear but few Russians are in clined to show themselves ttn the Rhine. Their chief force is still in Poland, where it may well he believed its presence is necessat y "for the preservation of trnn. quillity,"or it would not remain there in the present i crisis, when there are so many calls for its aid on.thil French frontier. The headquarters of the Doke of ' Vir.r.r.rnorov are established at Englilen; those of tI4 Pt ;lice of On 5 Eat Brame le Comte, and those of Prince FREDERICK at Nivelles.

N.troctoll errs not in policy by his forbearance—it is his policy and wish to have the war considered purely defensive—a war pro arts et focis, a war of necessity—a war for the liberty and independence of the country ; and if the Allies enter France with white cockades, and such Proclamations as they and Louis the XVlllth have been uttering,—such assertions in their mouths as that " the existence of the BOURBON Throne in France is the only thing that can guarantee the sta bility or legitimacy of the Government"—the only only object for which they have drawn their swords, will be a war against the liberties of mankind and the independence of nations. We still have nothing that can lead us to right coactusions as to the state of affairs in Italy.— As the French Editors say,—" The calculations of the most able politicians were never more baffled than at the present moment, in regard to the King of NAPLES and AUSTRIA." ... rallying cry is, Long live the Emperor, Hell, and the Diva.
