THE WAR QUESTION.

THE FRENCH OFFICIAL PAMPHLET,

Of the source from which it proceeds you need
have no doubt on your mind. It was his
Imperial Majesty who inspired it, who furnished
the materials, supplied arguments composed
several of the passages, and corrected the whole
down to the very last moment of publication.
It may, then, in every respect be considered
as much an Imperial declaration as if it ap-
peared in the Moniteur ; indeed, that journal
half admits the fact by publishing in its second
page a paragraph to this effect :—" There has,
just appeared at Dentu's a pamphlet entitled
" Napoleon 111. et l'ltalie." Present circumstances
invest it with great interest. It will excite no
less curiosity than the pamphlet, . " Napoleon 111.
et l'Angleterre." Among the commercial public
generally it has added to the panic ; and on the
Bourse it has fallen like a fulminating bomb, as
the stock lists have abundantly shown. Whether
it will conciliate or appease the ultra-revolutionists
of Italy, or elsewhere, we cannot say. —Times.
