It may boos is confidestly armed, that the En-
pesor ot the Fawcett begins to be weary of the war.
The Eitrinos's finanoss are not in the heat mai-
den, and his present and prospective outlay is Imp.

lie revenue of Fuses has manifested a wan-

mace, bat, as for es they have gone, they aro the lam
creatures of the wild spsealation of the Boone.
But if the incase of the Preach Goverment is
ample and ineressing, its =postilion is still greater.
The actual outlay tar the wet, sad the impending
outlay far cora, an serious ; bat if these wen ail,
they might be met without difficulty. The French
Govermest bee other drains spas its Mosory. In
the first plea, ever since the reestablidmset of the

part of the Empire, for the purpose a
beeping the labouring Melee in ranunerative
employment and good humour. ?his addition to the
war sad food outlay is beginning to be seriously felt,
sad is giving mad= to a good deal of grumbling
among the hostrpoisse. Bat with the certain prospect
of high feed prices daring the winter, spring, and
summer, the discontinuance of this expenditure, by
exciting dimootent, mad probably tumults, might
seriously embaness the yet sacoosolidated dynasty.
Again, the exposes of the Court mad all its retailers
an snorittlos. The cost of the gallant attendees
shows to the QUI= of ENGLAND, OD her visit to
Paris, might have tried severely the purses of
a Hamm 4fraschid or an diaddis. Yet
Wes costly devices are mere samples of the
perennial expenditure of the From* Court, in-
dulged in partly to gratify personal tastes, partly
to bay golden opinions of the Parisians, mad enlist
pronners in every quarter of France sad Europe.
The Court expenditure of France will sot be re-
Meshed ; the expenditure up= public works cannot
be ',beached witheat eadaagering tho stability of
the Government I the =pandits= for the importation
of bed most be incurred. It is obvious, therefore'
that the EIIPEROI is exposed to strong temptation
to close the war anyhow, in order to stop the re-
maining source of extra expenditure—the war. But
his natural inclined°a to do so is kept in cheek by his
knowledge that an inglorious terminatioo of the war,
by the wound it would inflict upon the national
pride, would endanpr the stability of his Govern-
ment quite as much as the financial embansements
enumerated above.
It may be, se is sonfidently =meted, that there is
in the English Cabinet a powerful motion divined to
patch up a peace ; and then can be no doubt that
the Derby•Disraelites and Aberdnaites see so in-
clined. We leave out of account the gossip, too
plentifully circulated, regarding the dispositions of
the Court. Like all the rest of the world, outside
of the narrow Court circle, we know nothing of these
dispositions except through the medium of anastlien-
timed rumours from tainted Rome& But even
though the leaning of the Court towards pesos were
asobtaised beyond a doubt, we would not allow
it any part in oar calculations. The wearer
of the Crown of England, like any other hu-
man being, has personal predilections ; bat those
are mitten with which Ministers must lay their ao-
=oat in accepting Gan. The stability of our in-
=tedious depends spas s rigid adberenos to the
principle that Ministers glom are ',spot:table for the
astionsof Goverment, and that the Crows is Dover
to be named to disc unions regarding them. When
we admit that the prevailing disposition among the
Masi sad possible holders of the reins of power in
England may be towards peas, we proceed exclusively
up= what is known of the characters of living Eng-
lish statesmen. They have all be= trained in the
wordy wars of Parliamentary debate and hustings
contests. They an may talkers. They lack power
and resources for prompt and effective action in
difilcult emergencies. The maagement of the
war overbite their pony energies. They would
gladly wash their bands of it, in order to re-
lapse into their petty intrigues for adjusting the
balance of home parties. Even =nag those who
make warlike orations then are some who an
anxiously on the outlook fora pretextfor wriggling oat
ot the war. But the deliberate, indomitable resolve
of the English people to have the war carried on till
tangible, permanent, beneficial results are obtained, is
an =surmountable obstacle in their path. •
