attempt to wage " a rose-water war," would be
completely and decisively abandoned. Fas est ab
poste deceri, and on this point we receive a valu-
able lesson from Muscovite tactics.

In the Baltic, we regret to say that our pros•
pects are by no means so propitious. The fa•
vourable season was suffered to pass away in

almost complete inactivity, and we now know
that the boasted destruction of Sweaborg was very
far indeed from what was first believed. Admiral
DuNDAs himself admits that the sea defences are
but little injured. The fortifications still protect
Helsingfors, which has not been interfered with,
notwithstanding its courtingattack by firing on our
boats. The destruction of the stores and arsenals was
of course valuable, but it was not alone a sufficient
performance for the most powerful naval arma-
ment ever placed under the command of a Bri-
tish officer. Admiral DIMAS may rest assured
that the people will not be contented unless some
heavier blow be inflicted on the enemy. He may
be crippled by secret instructions. With Sir
CHARLES WOOD at the head of the department,
that is, to say the least of it, very probable.
But the censure will fall chiefly on
him, for the people will not and cannot believe
that a Commander-in-Chief has not sufficient
power to strike a heavy blow against the enemy,
or if that power be withheld, that it is not his
duty to resign rather than to remain a puppet,
whose strings are pulled in Whitehall, and who
lends his name and character to the improper ob-
ject of deceiving the country. If something be
not done against Cronstadt,• we shall not greatly
envy the future fame of Admiral the Honourable
RICHARD SAUNDERS DUNDAS.

Nobly have the French people and their chosen
EMPEROR repaid the grattrikiptilar ovation and
the hearty regal and civic hospitalities that sig-
nalised the visit of the latter to the shores of

Britain.
That her Majesty the -QuEEs would meet with
a magnificent and cordial reception no one doubted
who knew anything of Frenchmen and their en-
lightened Ruler. The history of France is the
history of a chivalrous people, and the character
of centuries is not lost in a day. But even,we,
who by no means anticipated least, have been
agreeably surprised, not so much by the splendour
of the display as by the depth and extent of the
cordiality with which our QUEEN was welcomed.
On the Boulevards, in the Champs Elysee, at the
Tuileries, at the Opera, her reception lacked
nothing that could possibly be desired. It
was enthusiastic and universal beyond pre-
cedent, at once worthy of the people and
the occasion, and full of hopeful augury for
the destinies of Europe. The grandeur and
warmth even of the Imperial hospitalities, signal
as they were, paled before it. France, no less
frankly and unreservedly than her magnanimous
ruler, held out the right hand of amity to the
Island Queen.
