The prospects of • European millennium are dim.
Prussia is not disposed to disband till the price of
peace le paid. She is increasing the strength of Meta,
and making ready for any contingency. Bream means
to have • volunteer forest, if she cannot get an army.

1,800,000 men. Austria, Italy, and Great Britain are
all intent upon army reform.

The present condition of Prance Is heartrending. The
prospeet of the future is most gloomy. What Fran°e
needs is • strong Government; or, at least, • Govern.
smut that has some degree of strength; and the
Government of 11. niers is inexpressibly weak. The
Belville Insurgent Government as miserable sham ; has
sot ministers, or rawness, or organization. Yet, IL
Tbisrs cannot cope with it. Why do not the Grimm.
We. for • while at least, give up their intrigues for

they may be, for • short time, the nominal rulers of
