Ms most timid and penis-stricken of earthly MS-
tures en the men to whom the most spirited and war-
like nation of Europe bee committed its destinies for
several years. The leaders of the majority of the
Preach National Assembly are afraid of their own
shadows. And the difficulty is, not to sate what
they fear, but to find out what it is they
do not stand in dread of. They shudder at
the press, abhor the people, get into convul-
sions when • soldier raises the cry of " Vire NA-
Toms." Through the terrible magnifying-glasses
that fear has given these poor people they look upon
Lord Joni( Enema. se a dangerous democrat and
Lord PsimERSTON as little leis than a sons culotte.

bk. The Nero of Naples is • great favourite
milk these French politicians, who look upon his Ma-
jesty of Sardinia as • man given to dangerous mode-
rns tendencies, ia having committed the crass of
geezTelliog with the Jesuits. The boon ideal of states-
manship and heroism with this new French school,
insisting of men who dethroned Lotus Pathirra
lie sot being liberal enough to employ them, is
ZATEAU, and RADETSEI, and Nualtsoin, though
Ibs latter is not hangman enough for their taste.
There was a cock-and-ball story got up the other
day by some et scouring. of the police who re-
ported that there wee a plot against the National
Assembly. It was quit* a Our Faux business. A
Isuel of gunpowder was to be placed under the
disk of President Dung, and that worthy regularly
Mown up. Need we depict the sensation of Presi-
dent DUPIN P The Minister of the Interior was
summoned : he summoned the Prefect of Police,
and there was a solemn inquest held upon this
plot to delete the President. Poor M. Basocur,
the Minister of the Interior, when summoned before
the Council of Ten, and examined, could not keep his
countenance, bat burst oat laughing. For this he was
gravely reproved. Nevertheless the Police Prefect
plainly showed that the entire story was the
invention of a pair of vagabonds, without
character or credit. The vagabonds themselves con-
fined it was all • hoax. But President Dung was
not to be eneforted. And he and his brother senators
isdantly conceived the anarchic project of setting op
a police prefect and officers attached especially
to the Assembly, and paid by them, quite dis-
tinct from those of the government. It was the
counterpart of the famous proposal of CHANOARNIEE
to enrol an army of 80,000 men under T iscommand, and
which was to encamp round the chambers in order to
defend them against the army of the government. This
precious scheme of permanent civil war not having
been adopted, the Assembly are contented with a war
of polite. Paris will henceforth see two Foucase in
the field, with their separate budget of secret funds,
and their respective bands of secret agents. Louts
Nucitxwe's Prefect will set his myrmidons to espy
the movements of CHANOARNIZR, and perhaps to ls.
edge in a squib to awake the nerves of the valiant
Donut, whilst Dorm and the Council of Ten
will pay these myrmidons to watch the Elysie, to
make reports upon its morals, and procure an accurate
enumeration of the champagne bottles emptied. Poor
France, thus is thy money spent upon what the
Parisians of 1850 call politics and politicians.
These are examples of fear overcoming common
sense. An exempla of the same universal sentimeet
el fear overcoming common honesty is manifest
enough in the aim of ABD•EL-KADEIt. It was ad-
mitted that he surrendered to France on condition d
belong transported
.to Alexandria—admitted, too, glee
mop we ad impossible. He received the or
mime Ms auditions being accepted, and be ow
wiled. Ike yeses he has been a captive, ati k
=of the facts openly divided and numbs►
a primer it is decided he shall remain.
k the Chnna affair the prevalence of great
tot sad se morality is as evident. Count MORTA-
L... 1 admitted that in the dealings between
Austria and Prussia that were leading to war,
Austria had been precipitate and rude; yet he
was to siding with Austria, per fag et nefas,
dosegh rudeness and precipitation, because, no doubt,
she was a Roman catholic power marching to the sub-
jean of a protestant one.
Chant MoLE said that all governments had but one
great community of interest, which was to keep
down the people. He depicted Europe as •
great menagerie, each country keeping democracy in
a cage. He was horrified at the bare idea of the
keepers fighting, for the wild beasts might get loose.
How statesmanlike, benign, and philanthropic!
M. °DILLON BARI= declared it to be the policy
and interest of France to prevent Germany from
Wing united He wanted to see German powers be-
tween Frame and Russia; but they should be dia-
mond and multiple. In other words, France wanted
nob and dependents in certain German powers; not
• united Germany, which would be strong and inde-
pendent. And M. ODILLON Bassos had the con-
gers to hold his face towards heaven, and avow
sentiments so base, so illiberal, so meanly
selfish, so narrowly jealous—a sentiment that must
inevitably predate contempt in every German breast
for the statesman who could utter, or the country
that could applaud, so beggarly • sentiment.
Thmeghont this melancholy debate there seemed to
be bat one Frenchman that had a soul. This was
GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT. And even hewn obliged
to veil and ennui Lis liberalism by admissions that
strangely jarred with fairness and with truth.
