BARONESS D'OBERKIRCH'S
MEMOIRS,
Illustrative of the Secret History of
THE COURTS OF FRANCE, RUSSIA, AND GERMAN:7.
The Baroness D'Oberkirch, the intimate friend of the E•tipress
of Russia, wife of raul 1., and confidential companion of the Duchess
of Bourbon, saw much of courts and courtiers ; and her remarkable
memoirs are filled with a variety of anecdotes, not alone of 10.-cis and
ladies, but of emperors and empresses, kings and queens, and reign-
ing princes and princesses. As a picture of society anterior ;to the
French Revolution, the book is the most perfect production of its
kind extant ; and, as such, besides its minor value as a book of
amusement, it possesses a major value to a work of informi ttion,
which in the interest of- historical truth is, without exaggeration,
almost incalculable."—Observer.

The extension of the railway system on the continent, its introduc-
tion into Denmark, Norway, arid Russia, countries immediately
surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a national
point of view, that the latter should no longer be isolated from the
grand chain of European communication.
To meet this necessity the Government of Sweden has granted a
concession for the construction of a series of trunk and branch lines,
adequate to the internal necessities of the kingdom, and. to its foreign
traffic.
The construction of a Grand Trunk Line between Stockholm and
Gottenburg has been, in the first instance, determined en, compris-
ing an extent of 350 miles, by which means the great design of
uniting the Baltic and the North Seas will be accomplished, and, in
connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the
journey from St. Petersburgh to London will be accomplished in half
the time occupied, at present; the navigation of the sound will
be avoided ; and consequently the payment of Sound dues,
together with a saving of freight, insurance, and the delay of a long
voyage up the Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, on' the North Sea,
being accessible during a greater Dorton of the year than the Baltic
ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be continued until a
much later period in the year than at present ; toe Russian traffic
from Western Europe and America would, in summer from choice,
and in winter from necessity, add largely to the traffic of this Line.
The object of the present Company, his the construction of the first
section of this Grand Trunk line, to the extent of about 88 English
miles, between Hoping and Halt, which will connect the two prin-
cipal lakes of Sweden, Wenern, and Bialarn ; the remainder of the
route, between Stockholm and 'Gottenburg, will be accomplished for
the present by the steam-boats through the lakes.
The concession for the first section has been obtained from the
Government of Sweden, for a term of 40 years, with a guarantee of
5 per cent., on a capital of 416,679/., thus offering to the capitalist
a highly profitable investment secured. on the faith of one of the
most responsible Governments in Europe, without any public debt
whatever, and with an annual surplus revenue.
From the annual sum of 20,8331. thus guaranteed by the Go-
vernment, 4 per cent. per annum wilt be paid tothe shareholders,
and the remainder will be applied to create a sinking fund to re-
deem the entire capital at the expiration of forty years.
It is important to observe that the shareholders will be entitled to
the entire profits of the railway, whit b, it is confidently expected,
will realize from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum.
Contracts have been entered into witlr a responsible English con-
tractor, from whom security has been taken for the execution of the
entire works of the line, and to proviff a all the rolling stock, plant,
and workshops necessary for the efficient working of the railway, on
such terms as will secure the execution of the whole, the payment
of all preliminary expenses, cost of nutnagement until the opening
of the line, and 4 per cent. interest to the shareholders during the
period of construction, for the amount of the capital of 416,6701.
Full powers are granted to the Company or establishing an electric
telegraph, with the usual privileges att ached thereto.
Four per cent. interest will be allowed to the Shareholders on
their calls, from the day of payment, during the period con-
struction.
The payment of Interest and dividenel will take place at Stockholm,
Gottenburg, Paris, and London, at a flood rate of exchange of twelve
fax-dollars banco to the 1/. sterling.
Applications for shares, In Obi aces nipanying form, to be made

LIFE OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.
On Tuesday next will be published, Volume Third of
MISS AGNES STRICKL AND'S
LIVES of the QUEENS of SCOTLAND,
and English Pencesses connected with the Royal Succession.
This volume contains the commencement of a personal Life of
Mary Stuart, which it is believed will be found more authentic: and
complete than any which has yet appeared. It comprises an amount
of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the fruits of
long and arduous research in the State Paper Offices of England,
Scotland, France, and other nations, arid in the charter-chests of the
descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancestrally con-
nected with that momentous period. The result is a Biography
which is likely to be the crowning work of Miss Strickland's great
national undertaking.

" UNCLE WA.LTER." BY MRS. TROLLOPE.—AII
novel readers will hail with pleasure the publication of a new
work from the pen of this most popular and celebrated of
our writers of fiction. That eminent critical authority, the
Quarterly
Review, has observed with truth that " Mrs.
Trollope is, beyond a doubt, one of the cleverest and most
remarkable writers of the day. With a quickness of obser-
vation which takes in the whole sublect at a glance, an in-
sight into motives that seems instructive, a keen perception
of the ridiculous, and strong powers of humourous delineation,
she is the person of all others to expose pretensions or un-
mask hypocrisy." " Uncle Walter," it is generally ex-
pected, will achieve even a greater success than the author's
Father Eustace"—its brilliant sketches of character—for
which Airs. Trollope is unrivalled—fQrtning one of the
principal attractiow of the work.

—been cheated. Before, however, they hail time to
come to any de&sion on the subject, the speaker fairly
them
cut the ground from under their feet, by telling
that whatever they might think of Protection, he knew
that it had not a leg to stand on. The game was all up.
"By the office,' if I may so call it, or rather by
the situation which I filled so long f that party, I
am, alas! too well acquainted with the lists, majorities,
and minorities of the Houle of Commons, not to be
able, in taking up a list of the Parliament which
has just been returned to perceive that there is a de-
cided majority of Members in the lower house inimical
to the feeling and to the measure of protection to agri-
culture. If I differ, as I certainly do, from the wisdom
and justice of their views, yet, notwithstanding, I
must acknowledge that I myself and those who think
with me are in a minority, and I ask is it wise or pru-
dent to force forward a question which can but involve
those whose interests you wish to the utmost of your
power, and at every fair risk to uphold—is it wise, I
say, to force that forward when you can gain no advan-
tage ? They say—it is a scriptural phrase—that it is
useless to kick against the pricks, and I firmly believe
that in this instance, if we were to stir this
question, and to moot it in an unfortunate
moment, we should only throw further back
the interests of those for whom we would make any
sacrifice," Who talked of the folly or the sin of "kicking
against the pricks" when they were out of office? Did
the farmers think of the author of evil, who is said to
be able to quote Scripture to suit his own purpose, while
this Conservative partis9n was sporting his scriptural
knowledge? Who influenced the minds of fanners and
country gentlemen at meetings? Who talked of civil
war to maintain Protection, and speculated upon the ser-
vice the mounted farmers might do to the good cause?
What party is it that for the last few years have been
speechifying, writing-, cooking statistics, making use of
every imaginable artifice to persuade the agricultural in-
terests that there was no hope for them but in Proem-
tier)? Who but these very men who, having now ob-
tained all they were aiming at, by the efforts of their
poor dupes, now coolly turn round and tell them that
there is no help. The utter denial of any obligation on
the Government to forward the views of the Protec-
tionists, and the positive assurance that such an attempt
would be futile, are two of the greatest impertinencies
that were ever offered to a deluded party. In the mean
time the Liberals have fair ground for triumph, and it
is to be hoped that the next semi-official announcement
of the Derby Ministry will be as consolatory as Major
Beresford's declaration that Ministers have abandoned
Protection.
POST.—The speech of Louis Napoleon at Bordeaux
will create a great sensation throughout Europe. For
the first time be distinctly declares his intention of ac-
cepting the Imperial diadem, and of pursuing . that
pacific policy which hitherto he has carried out with
such notable success. On the return of the President to
Paris, the Senate will immediately take steps to carry
out the unanimous wishes of the French nation, and a
solid and permanent Government will be established
among our neighbours. It is a thing desirable for
England and for Europe that a monarchical and stable
Government should exist in France, rather than an im-
potent and ever-shifting Republic. To France herself
the benefits will be incalculable. The whole people are
now enthusiastically determined on placing an here-
ditary crown on the brows of a Napoleon, simply because
he has wrought such great deeds far their benefit—be-
cause he has stifled faction, and has amazingly advanced
the commercial and social prosperity of the country.
They thirst for more victories and more glory. Tho
people press forward as " his soldiers," to aid him in con-
quering and bringing " to religion, to morality, and to
opulence, that still numerous portion of the population
which, in a country possessing a faith, has no knowledge of
the precepts of the Saviour, which, in the bosom of the
most fertile territory of the earth, scarcely obtains the
common necessaries of life." Such are the conquests of
the future empire, whose chief has again and again re-
cognised peace as ° the desire of Franoe"—peace, which
will permit her " to cultivate her waste lands, to open
new routes, to render her rivers navigable, to terminate
her canals, to complete her network of railways, to assi-
milate to herself the vast kingdoms which she possesses
in Africa, to bring her western ports nearer to America
by that rapidity of communication yet lacking, to restore
ruins, to overthrow false gods, to make truth triumph."
Such, according to Louis Napoleon, are the purposes of
the empire. And who can doubt it? In these few words
are not the necessities of France truly pourtrayed? Is
it to be believed that when her interests lie so plainly in
one direction, she is likely to rush forward in another?
As the President most truly observes, " War is not made
for pleasure, but from necessity." And war is next to
impossible, because the necessities of France point directly,
as we have again and again shown, to peace—not that
we inculcate any blind confidence in the duration of
calm, which must always to some extent be subject to
the influences of any sudden popular passion, though
far less so under the Empire than under the Republic.
We have always advocated reasonable measures of pre-
caution, and regard it as England's first duty to insure
herself against the consequences of any accidental broil
with any foreign power. We cannot forget that the
French are full of vanity, and vastly fond of military
glees. We cannot forget that there are historical dis-
asters connected with the fall of the Empire that French-
men have long wished to retrieve; but as years roll by,
the irritating remembrance of those facts becomes lets
vivid, and the increasing intercourse of England with
Franco tends to foster better feelings, and we hope
stronger ones. At any rate, it is not feeling alone that
can insure peace or cause war. Interest is, with all
mankind, the grand motive power, and the interests of
the two countries cry aloud for peace. The nations and
their rulers wish it, and nought is distrusted save the
name of " Napoleon." " What's in a name !" Glory,
indeed, is almost synonymous with her hero in the
mouth of France, and the nephew of the Emperor claims
the heirship of his glory and intends to sustain it, not by
war, which he " does not inherit," but by establishing
" confidence in the present and security for the future.
We cannot find terms strong enough to convey
the sense of disapprobation, and the feelings of disgust,
with which Englishmen regard the language of certain
of our contemporaries in relation to the present Govern-
ment of France. They level the whole volley of their
utmost abuse at Louis Napoleon, and at the whole
French nation, for no other reason, that we can see, than
that our neighbours prefer a positively French constitu-
tion, in accordance with their characteristic requirement
for a love of discipline, to a wretched imitation of
American institutions, patched with a few English ideas,
totally at variance with their social policy. The false-
hoods and the slanders which have been uttered by the
Euglish press are astounding from their magnitude and
their emptiness—windbags, which are so frail, that they
cannot even make a noise when they explode. Why, to
instance but one—the public has already forgotten the
prodigious nonsense that was set forth by our contem-
poraries about the European Powers marching armies
into Franco in the event of the re-establishment of the
hereditary empire; in order to vouch for this, our con-
temporaries published dispatches and treaties which
never had any real existence, any more than the truth
or honour of their authors, or the sense of their pub-
lishers. But the principal of these wilful calumniators
does not even confine its foul abuse to foreigners. It
dares attack tho loyalty and the courage of English-
men, saying that " the great reason why Englishmen
won't have a democracy is, that beyond that demo-
cracy they see a certain vision of cold-blooded despo-
tism." These are the words of the Time% and anything
more stupid than this was never uttered even by the
thundering stupidity of our contemporary. Where is
there beyond the American democracy a vision of cold-
blooded despotism ? and why should not that hic urn
good for America be good for England by the ab
rule which would insist that what is good for England is
good for France? Wo need not point out what is apt to
the sense of all, that Englishmen dislike democracy as.
a thing bad in itself, and not because they arecesvard
like afraid of the consequences of a principle wh tchthe
Times and Mr. Cobden pretend that they admire. In
the same way our contemporary, falsifying all things,
asserts that the present Government of France relies as
much as anything upon " upholstery and stage manage-
ment." Are the Four per Cents. at 106,50 upholstery,
when compared with the Fives, this time last year
below 902 or are hundreds of miles of new railways
—solid improvements in agriculture and in all
the great towns, together with relief from taxation,
to be called stage management? No; such folly is
fit alone for the pages of M. Victor Hugo and of our
contemporary—who, in its present notions of democracy,
as in its rapid changes generally, seems likely soon to
rival that miserable revolutionist, once the fulsome adu-
lator of the Bourbons, now the defender of the impious
murder of Louis XVI. The currish and barking ani-
mosities of such as they can signify but little to the
ruler of France, or to the French people, as they know,
that, in these matters, our contemporary no more repre-
sents the feelings of England than does M. Victor Hugo.
Did our neighbours not understand this, we
might fear
that, in the event of any " petty misunderstanding'
between the two powers, the passions and feelings to
which we have already alluded might be roused to a
dangerous point of excitement—even to the overbearing
of the counsels of interest—by the contemptuous and
bitter language of journals whose insolence is alone a
match for their folly. The Government of England,
and all the European Governments representing the true
feelings of their respective nations, will, no doubt, respond,
in terms full of confidence and cordiality, to the noble
and patriotic views of the President. And now that
France appears about to become settled in Government
and steady in policy, we may hope to see her exercise
her due influence in European councils, and display a
wholesome spirit of competition for much of the world's
commerce. She may contribute to, nay, almost ensure,
the due maintenance of order throughout the continent,
whilst we sincerely trust that she will not fail to pro-
mote a liberal policy to which now a freer scope may be
afforded. It was a dread of new disturbances he France
that chiefly induced many of the continental Monarchs
to rush violently into the extreme paths of absolutism,
and we expee. now that a due reaction may take place.
As to Franco herself, we believe that the new Emperor
will find her interest and his own to lie in a continual
extension of the constitutional liberties of the people, and
a steady and judicious advancement of their mental and
moral cducceien. By such gradual means, we hope to
see, at no distant day, in
i France, political freedom ex-
isting, as completely does in our own happy coun-
try. To merit such liberty, the French must conquer it.

public dinner-table at Perth. As a programme of his
future policy, this appeal nays roundly that he wants to
place himself at the head of a democratic movement, to
overthrow a Conservative Government which had shown
itself sincerely and practically disposed to press all
real and just reforms, and of which Lord John's corn-
plaint is, that some of the reforms which it did press and
carry were those which he might have effected himself,
if he had wished. So much for the general principles
by which he would rouse the commonalty in his favour.
But, besides principles, or rather in exchange for prin-
ciples, he needs persons—persons of some public
notoriety. And to whom, of all men, after
his democratic prolusion, does he make his bow?
To whom hut the Peelites ? His compliments
to them—the flattery which he lavished even on their
beaten candidates at the last elections—conveyed a very
intelligible tender. No consideration of the somewhat
" advanced" character of Lord John's last profession of
faith deterred these self-styled Conservatives from in-
stantly testifying their sense of the honour which they
had received. They placed their political organ in the
service of the volunteer leader of dernocracy,and became
the apologists of his past fame and present position.
Ha had virtually intimated his readiness to receive them
into his camp, and they at once began to arm in his
defence. But, at Carlisle, when Sir James Graham was
asked what " ite " he was, he replied teat he had been a
Pettlitt ; hut now that he was tat " its" at all—meaning,
doubtless, that others were Grahamites. Thus, it seems,
ho reckoned upon a fickle and wavering loyalty; for, at
the first encouragement, his followers were ready to
change the prefix of their political patronymic,
and to become Russellites. But this is not all. The
severe virtue and inaccessible principle of the Liberal-
Conservative nymph is not yet fully delineated.
She is, it appears, not only easily won, if boldly wooed,
but capable at the same time of wooing askance, or
transversely, on her own account. Scarcely had Lord
John Raseell had time to congratulate himself on the
etientehaut effect a his, courtship, when he
.beheld his
frail beauty lavishing her blandishments on Lord Pal-
merston, who had sought no such favour, and who even
requited the faithless encouragement with something
beyond indifference, arid very like contempt. Just after
the Peelites had shown their readiness to coalesce with
Lord John Russell, their organ, in a sudden panic, lest
Lord Palmerston were about to join the Government,
.addressed to the latter Noble Lord a solemn admonition
on the value of patience, and quoted the French proverb,
that " all is well for those who know how to wait"—
tout tombs bien a qui salt attendre. In other words,
they want Lord Palmerston for their next Government,
and will guarantee him a place. Tempting offer! to
which one of the most eminent statesmen of the
ago is strangely indifferent. A similar offer bad
previously been tendered to certain Irish Mem-
ears by the same cosmopolitan party. We
have spoken more particularly of the Peelites
than of some others in the incongruous agglomeration
which we suppose must be called the opposition—not
merely because the Peelites have been the most obtru-
Ave in qualifying themselves as the only or the ablest
stattsmen of the country, and in vaunting their scrupu-
nets adherence to principle; but because it seems we
have hurt their feelings. They accuse us of not being
conciliatory in our language; they suggest that friends
are lost, and those whose forbearance !night have been
expected are estranged and irritated by bitter words.
Falstaff preaching sobriety, Algernon Sydney extolling
disinterested patriotism,
Robespierre or Couthon expa-
tiating on the sacredness of life, or the Emperor
Nicholas, like Marcus Antoninus, delivering lectures,
and choosing for his subject the excellence of municipal
institutions, would less startle us than to hear the organ
of the Grahamites deprecating any political criticism
that is not conciliatory and dignified. In the
"5' article in which this expostulation is
conveyed the favourite style of that journal is fully il-
lustrated—a style which alternates between pedantry
and slang. Of the latter character we had no difficulty
in culling such samples as we may here fitly introduce
in passing. This organ, which is all for conciliation
and dignity, tells us that Mr. Disraeli is "a mystery
man, who has a new dodge of some sort;" and "he is a
Caucasian going to do the quart-bottle feat;" and the
Quarterly Review " twaddles about cooked statistics,
increasing to the tune of so and so." Further,
" Disraeli is an ingenious Caucasian," and "a poli-
tical quack," and "a young Jew named Hoffer, con-
victed at a police-court," and he is " the political bin-
crapher," and his dupe is "an old gentleman named
John Bull;" and a sort of off-hand mention is intro-
duced of the " political biegrapher's blunted percep-
tions of right and wrong," &c., &c. So many proofs
does one leading article of our " dignified" contempo-
rary afford of how easy it is to bo abusive without being
witty. With all this there is so much pretence to ex-
clusive possession of political wisdom and of literary
accomplishments, that our readers will pardon us for
having loitered a moment on the subject. Those who
would find fault with Lord Derby for having formed
his Government must advance what literally amounts to
this proposition, that no Government is necessary in
England, On the other hand, those who would censure
the manner in which his Administration have adminis-
tered the public affairs since accepting office must set
themselves against the unanimous voice of all honest and
impartial person, arid deny facts to which we will allude
more at large on an early occasion.
DAILY NEWS.—Major Beresford has again been
enlightening the Essex Protectionists. His lecture came
off at the dinner of the Hinckford Agricultural and
Conservative Club, and may be taken as a kind of
,linisterial indication of what is in store for us. The
introductory note to the speech was very instructive,
and if it did not convey a warning to the infatuated sup-
porters of the Ministry, who were so unauspiciously
drinking the healths of their betrayers round the well-
filled table, we must attribute this to the strength of
the landlord's wine or the thickness of something in
Essex. This note was sounded by Mr. Vicars, who pro-
posed the health of her Majesty's Ministers, and in the
course of his speech took occasion very strangely to be-
seech his hearers to forget that they ware agriculturists,
and to try and think they were something else. "It,"
said Mr. Vicars, "he understood aright the position
which they occupied, it was not the honourable one,
simply of owners and occupiers of the soil, but they
appeared in the yet more exalted character of English-
men, with English feelings, and patriots with high aspi-
rations." The plain English of all this is—don't
bother the Major about Protection and such matters
now, drink your wine, and listen to what he will tell
you about patriotism and aspirations, and all that sort
of thing. 'The Secretary-at-War, before the confused
agriculturists bad had time to make up their minds as to
the extraordinary advice which had just been given, at-
tacked them in the same strain, and no doubt clenched
the impression made by his friend. He told his hearers,
in high-sounding terms, that if they looked at that pe-
riod during which his party had held the reins of Go-
vernment, they would find that they had not flinched
from doing their best to improve—at the same time that
they had maintained—the ancient institutions of the
country. He assured them also solemnly that they in-
tended to stand by those institutions, whether civil, mi-
litary, or Protestant. After this magnanimous but
rather value t declaration of what his party would do, he
considered that his hearers were in a fit state to listen
to his own version of what they would not do, prefacing
this with a brief account of what they had not done.
First and foremost he told the bewildered guests
her Majesty's Government did not come into office
On the ground of protection. " I deny that position
in tote. I know no reason that any man has to say that
the Government are Free-traders; and I deny the other
position also, that they did come in, in the slightest
degree, upon the principles or Protection." That is a
strange thing for us to say, but it is not less true. . .
"When called upon to form a Government, which we
could not have contemplated, we were accused that we
came in upon the principles of Protection. But no, we
were called upon to form a Government because Lord
John Russell was unable to manage his own party." Of
course it was not the Major's business to answer the
question," How came you and your party to be of suf-
ficient importance to be called in to do what Lord John
was incompetent to do?" How came Lord Derby—who
has been the mauvais aujet of each Ministry
he has been connected with—to be called on
in conjunction with Mr. Disraeli—a mere dashing
guerilla—to form a Ministry? Why—when the
Government of the country went a-begging was
it offered to a wayward earl, and a literary politican?
Why ?—but because these two men had by violent party
speeches in both Houses of Parliament, by equally vio-
lent addresses out of the Houses, by attacking in the
most unscrupulous manner for his free-trade measures
the greatest statesman that England has seen for many
years, gained the sympathies of a large and (as it was
thought) powerful party in the country—that Disraelipart
y
being the Protectionists. Lord Derby and Mr.
li.ch their own obtained power by flattering the Protectionists. They
assumed an importance in the country

mend of her Majesty to support her in her just prero-
gative, and not to allow the official business of the coun-
try to be thrown into the hands of Sir James Graham
and his Irish associates, or of Mr. Cobden and the Man-
chaster school. This is simply a most barefaced shuffle
to get rid of the responsibilities which the Derbyito
party have incurred by their connexion with tho Protec-
tionists. "We may be Protectionists still," says the
Major—" I know," he continues in another part of his
speech, " that Lord Derby was a Protectionist in
the commencement of the present year, but that has
nothing to do with the question. Her Majesty
rushed into our arms to save herself from Sir James
Graham and Itr. Cobden; hold your tongue until we
have delivered her." How the listeners might have re-
ceived this advice, if they had been allowed time to
ponder over it, would be difficult to say. It is not im-
probable that after a little reflection they
might have
come to the conclusion that they had—to speak plainly

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The journals of the continent appear una-
nimously to regard the late declaration ofi Louis Napo-
leon at Bordeaux as the most important incident in his
progress through the south of France; end while the
more devoted adherents of the Buonapsrtist Govern-
ment hail with satisfaction his open acceptance of the
Empire, the opponents of his Government cartrot with-
hold their approbation from ee precise end positive a de-
claration in favour of the policy of peace. In a country
where no security remains but the personal assurance
of the ruler, such declarations are all we have to rely
on; and without attaching to them more weight than
they deserve, they at least put an end to the ominous
silence on these topics which left a door Open to the un-
favourable inferences. But we cannot forget that on
several former occasions Louis Napoleon has volunteered
to make declarations equally emphatic and equally well
received by those to whom they were addressed. His
meseages to the National Assembly were remark-
able to the last for the forbearance and the con-
ciliatory spirit which it suited him to affect while he was
slowly preparing tee annihilation of that body and of all
public liberty. Nor dirt he hesitate to assure the nation
that nothing would ever divert him from his duty as en
honest man, bound by his oath to respect the Constitu-
tion, though he was guilty at that time of premeeitated
perjury. The penalty for these offences against the first
law of duty is that we cannot attach to his worth the
same confidence we should wish to place in him.
Speaking in one of the first commercial cities of France,
whose interests are absolutely identified with the main-
tenance of peace, the most ordinary prudence might
have suggested the pacific assurances which have ac-
companied this announcement of the Empire. But no
trace of the language employed at Bordeaux was per-
ceptible at such places as Strasburg and Toulon. There,
on the contrary, vast military demonstrations appeared
to favour very different passions. Frencluentoons flung
over the Ithineha vast naval armament ebilecten ar
Toulon—prodigious activity in all the naval de-
partments—and the extension of the tortifica-
tious of what is already one of the strongest
places in Europe—are proofs that however highly
Louis Napoleon may value the blessings of peace
he has not ceased to prepare and augment his
means of war. The Emperor Napoleon himself, end
the most warlike Sovereigns who have ever lived, con-
stantly laboured to convince their subjects and the world
that they were drugged into wars entirely against their
own will, and that the maintenance or restoration of
peace was the sole object of their policy. On one point,
however, there can be no doubt and no incredulity.
Louis Napoleon has thought it—and rightly thought it
—a stroke of good policy to endeavour to convince the
French nation that the second Empire is to be an mra of
peace, and the enthusiastic response which the country
has given to his assurance on this point is a strong indi-
cation that lie cannot violate this engagement without
irritating public opinion and wounding the principal in-
terests of France. The most absolute Sovereigns are in
truth not much snore able to despise and surmount pub-
lic opinion then those Governments that live under its
incessant control. If Louis Napoleon is satisfied that
the public opinion of the French people is strongly pro-
nounced in favour of peace, it is to be presumed that he
will net, for any paltry object of his own, fly in the
face of an obligation which is one of the conditions of
his power. War may be too unpopular at home, as well
as too dangerous abroad, for him rashly and wantonly
to provoke it; and perhaps there is no guarantee of the
general tranquillity on which we can rely so well as on
the repugnance of the French themselves to disturb it.
doubtless, intended to encou-
The Bordeaux speech was,
rage or to flatter these hopes amongst the less warlike
portion of the French, and, at the same time, to disarm,
as far as possible, the distrust with which the re-
storation of the Empire is watched by foreign States.
But it we are to take this declaration as perfectly sin-
cere, the reception it cannot fail to meet with both in
France and in foreign countries furnishes a conclusive
argument for acting upon the line of policy it pre-
scribes. The military establishments of all the conti-
nental Powers have grown to the most oppressive mag-
nitude. They are kept up, or rather forced upon, the
several Governments, by mutual distrust. The revolu-
tionary storm of 1848 no longer affords a decent pretext
or a reasonable motive for the permanent maintenance
of the largest armies the world has ever beheld. The
question of peace or war in Europe rests mainly—we
might almost say exclusively—with France, for in the
present state of things we entirely concur in the
remark of Louis Napoleon, that "if France is
satisfied the world is tranquil." No Power
can be so much as suspected of the slightest desire to at-
tack her territory or to contest her rights, though no
Power feels at this moment an equal degree of confidence
in the intentions of the French Government towards the
territory and the rights of its neighbours. It is, there
fore, for Louis Napolean and for France to take the
lead, if these assurances be trustworthy and sincere, in
the highly honourable task of restoring the world to that
peace establishment which was never more needed by the
finances of all Europe. Thera; is nothing in the con-
quests ho spoke of the other e'eteeehieh requires the
presence under arms of, half a million of solmers. No
boon which he can confer upon the rural population of
Franc© could at all be compared to a mitigation of the
conscription, which now annually takes from 80,000 to
100,000 men from their homes; and we are satisfied
that his power would gain infinitely More internal so-
lidity and external respect, by divestirg it of its menac-
ing military character, than by an unseasonable display
of idle hosts that might overrun half the provinces of
Europe. For ourselves, we are quits ready to apply
and to abide by this test of the wisdom or folly of his
policy—of the truth or the worthlessness of his promises.
But while vie see the whole army ol France in the
highest state of preparation for any undertaking, and
with a considerable addition to its dective force; while
we know that unusual activity prevails in all the French
dockyards, and that the navy has received within the
last few months a vast augmentation to its strength, We
are unable to reconcile these facts with the declared in.
tentions of tho French Government; and this
palpable
inconsistency naturally increases the Mistrust with which
the new Imperial Administration may be viewed. If
these suspicions are erroneous and unjust, as they arc
certainly onerous. and inconvenient to all the world,
it rests with Louis Napoleon to disarm them; but we
cannot attach very great importance to any verbal
declaration, unless it be accompanied or followed by
soma of the measures which ought to be and would be
its immediate and inevitable consequence. If it be,
as we suppose it is, the object ant the desire of the
future Emperor to take a place among the chief
Powers of the world, we venture to affirm that he
will find it far more easy to recover the natural
inflame° of France, to contract allisnces, to command
respect, and to conduct negotiations when he has laid
aside the sword which he still brandishes over the French
and in the face of Europe. His own speech is a full and
complete homage to the principle for which we are
contending. Foreign countries having no direct con-
cern with the internal Government of France, are
merely interested in seeing him act up to these decla-
rations in his relations to themselves. If
" the Empire
means peace"--to use his own emphatic expression—it
means the unreserved acceptance of the territorial limits
of Europe and of all existing treaties; and it means the
reduction of the present enormous military establish-
ments to the peace footing. There can be no question
that these two measures would bs hailed with gratitude
by a large proportion of the French nation, and with
just satisfaction by the rest of Europe. On such terms
the renovated and altered Empire of the French might
indeed inaugurate a period of prosperity and repose;
but these measures are in themselves so obvious, so de-
sirable, and of such easy accomplishment, that until
some such steps are taken we must be permitted to re-
tain doubts, if not apprehensions, which nothing short of
experience can entirely remove,
HERALD.—Lord John Russell, Messrs. Cobden and
Bright, Sir James Graham, Mr. Joseph Hume, and
Messrs. Keogh and Moore, are the respective leaders
of several sections in that political medley to whom the
present Government is in a greater or less degree dis-
tasteful. Lord Palmerston deserves better than to be

terise. The approach of the session, in quickening the
movements of the various parties which thus constitute
Opposition, exposes their disarray, and even multiplies
their difficulties. An Opposition, indeed, in the re-
ceived sense, exists not at all; there is a stir among
many bodies, now blending partially, now dispersing in
still wider divagations, like clouds in the uncertain sky.
The Parliamentary divisions hostile to the present
Ministry are hostile to each other. Disagreeing
among themselves respecting the principles which
ought to preside over the management of
the national business and regulate the ser-
vice of the Crown, they might possibly—let us grant
this for argument's sake—be rallied for a moment to
subvert one Government, but confessedly they never
could unite to establish and maintain another. If they
could even effect the forced or transacted combination of
a day, that day's work must be demolition: it could not
be followed, at least at their hands, by the construction
or the re-construction of anything. We aro stating a
plain fact, recognised or confessed by every person of
ordinary intelligence throughout the country. A regu-
lar, or constitutional, or intelligible opposition exists
not; but some parties exist, each of which would desire
to be in office, not one of which dare count the rest as
adherents in such a contingency, and all of which taken
together possess precisely that sort of power that they
might obstruct others in dispatching the necessary affairs
of the empire, but yet could not themselves resume the
interrupted business. Gone from their broken ranks is
the power of party; they retain bat the privilege of fac-
tion. Every step taken by the morenoted men, and every
word uttered by their accredited organs, reveal the absence
of one ruling mind; and, as in she hasty effort to supply
any given deficiency, others are often brought to light,t
o
so the desperate endeavours, on the one part, and,
on chief to levy recruits or lure confederates, ant,
on the other, of those very forces to procure a differentd

John
Russell makes an appeal to the nation from behind a

sequence of the distress, ostensibly occasioned by the
failure of the potato, but, in reality, a necessary conse•
quence of the condemnation of millions to absolute de-
pendence on a single,
uncertain, and perishable root,

duce, three-fourths less nutriment tean oatmeal at very

half was more generously than justly remitted at once
by Parliament. The whole was voted for the
relief of the Irish, who were reprer,ented to be perishing
by hundreds, in consequence of the failure of potatoes.g
Did the landlords suffer it to be so applied? It was
said that the money contributed from all sources
towards this relief was insufficient, and in 1848, a depu-
tation of landlords waited on the Earl of Clarendon to
solicit his approbation of a scheme for extracting another
grant from Englishmen. His Lordship flatly refused,

which had come to his knowledge, in which substantial
farmers had claimed and obtained regular relief, through
collusion of the parochial or district authorities, and
many others, in which landlords had placed tenants
who were in arrear of their rent on the relief lists, in
order that the money might go to the liquidation of
their arrears. In fact, the aeliniaistration of the national
funds for relief of the starving poor was converted into
a gigantic swindle for the profits of the landlords.
Greater frauds upon the nation and Government
during the progress of the alleged famine were never
practised. The papers teemed with represereatione of
the excessive mortality, and De Mella.le estimated the
deaths at either two or three millions, nil of which he

cnarged es crimes upon the English Government, and
especially Lord John Russell, though every member was
anxiously and aselously exerting all his energies to
undo what was truly the work of the Irish landlords, as
we shall soon demonstrate. Dr. Wilele, in his virtuous
indignation, forgot that the census and other records of
social progress would furnish most satisfactory means of
detecting deliberate falsehoods, as well as of correcting
honest though erroneous statements. These documents
throw a considerable doubt upon the reality of the
" famine" itself, and enable us to deny the existence
of the asserted excessive mortality. For instance,
in the ten years ending with that of the last census,
the population decreased 1,659,330, and in those
years 1,289,133 persons had emigrated from Ire-
land. Computing from these numbers by any pro-
bable rule that we may select, iu the h-ope of ap.
proxiwating to the truth, we shall be satisfied that
Ireland was not afflicted with a prodigious mor-
tality from famine in the true sense of the word. But if
Dr. Alellale's extravagantly improbable estimate of the
deaths from famine were true, the murderess were not the
English Government, but the Irish landlords, who now
desire to repudiate the debt, which they contrived to
place in their own pockets. Let us see how the case
stands on the supposition that two or three millions of
people, in a population of eight millions, perished through
the failure of the potato. Had that root perished in
any other country in the world, no such dreadful
consequences could have been produced, because the
people could have fallen back upon other and more
nutritious rood. But the Irish could not do so,
bcceuse the landlords, by exacting the most exorbi-
tant rents, had long compelled them to export all
sorts of better food, and condemned them to the
potato for their sole subsistence. If, therefore, a
great mortality ensued on the failure of the potato,
to whom was it owing but to the landlord? Even
during the time that Dr. M'llale's imaginary millions
were dyieg of hunger, the landlords were causing the
wretched survivors to snatch the food from their retch,
and export it to other markets for their shamefully high
rents. According to the Doctor's teaching, we must
call this conduct most inhuman; and that others may
judge of it, we abstract, from Perhamentary returns,
the following quantities of food exported before and
dining the year of the alleged famine:—
Average per year from 1842-45, 219,414 qrs. wheat
Total in 1846
Average as above 86,122 qrs. barley
Total in 1846
Average as above 2,506,538 qrs. oatmeal
Total in 1846
Average as above
Total in 1846
Average as above 1,366,990 cwt. oatmeal
Total in 1846
Besides this food, affording three-fourths more nutri-
ment than the same weight of potatoes; there were
exported, during the so.called famine, 186,483 oxen,
bulls, and cows ; 6,363 calves ; 259,257 sheep and
lambs ; and 480,827 swine; besides an incredibly
enormous quantity of dried, cured, and salted flesh
meat, together with butter, lard, and other articles of
human consumption. Under these circumstances, we
deny the right of the Irish landlords to expect any fur-
ther relief from the payment of a loan, which seems to
have been exacted from us by [a , scandalous fraud, and
converted to their own advantage. Whether they call
the payment of the interest or instalments of the prin-
cipal a Famine Tax, is of little moment; for whatever it
may be named, it is a tax occasioned by themselves.
That the potato failed, and the poor suffered, we admit ;
it forms an incontrovertible reason for compelling the
repayment of every farthing advanced in compliance
with the pretence of a famine; but that there was anything
like a famine, or that state of the earth when it ceases

to yield fruits for the sustenance of the inhabitants, we
emphatically deny, and point to the preceding state-
ments of food exported to raise rents for our vouckers.
The census and the emigration returns also prove Mat
the mortality during the distress was shamelessly and
fraudulently exaggerated, with the object of imposing
upon the well-known humanity, charity, and liberality
of Britons.

THE MELBOURNE STEAMER.
(From the Times.)
The " sweet little cherub" who presides over the
destinies of seamen evidently confines his attention to
the interests of the merchant service. The ablebodied
mariners who ship for a voyage on board any of her
Majesty's vessels must take their chance, and struggle on
to their port of destination as best they may upon the
most inefficient compounds of wood, iron, and canvass
that the world has yet seen. There is really no dis-
guising the fact—there is a fat.i.lity ever Queen's ships.
Call the result n3danchnly, call it ludicrous, call it ex-
pensive—call it what you will, ships constructed at the
most reckless cost for the public service will not go
through the water with the same conditions of speed and
security as vessels belonging to private owners. We
will not assert just now that anybody in particular,
from the Duke of Northumberland down to the
veriest apprentice in Devonport Dockyard, is iu fault;
we only look at the simple, unmistakeable result. The
ships are, TO doubt, excellent good ships, constructed on
th© most scientific lines—the power of the engines is
nicely adapted to the proportions of the hull—the of-
ficerssejY the necessary orders,

most zealous and efficient manner; but the ships won't
sail or steam in the required direction. That is all that
is amiss about them. As an illustration of this asser-
tion, we would call attention to an announcement from
Plymouth, which we received last night by electric tele-
graph, and which will be found in another portion of
our columns this day. It is to the effect that
the Melbourne screw steam-ship, in getting under
way in Ilamone yesterday morning, ran between
two hulks, fouled one of them, and did herself
very considerable damage. The brief announcement
talks of jibboom, catheads, and anchor carried away, of
shattered davits, of chain-cable run out, and so forth.
Of course, as the vessel is now the property of the
Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, the Govern-
ment people will say they have nothing to do with the
catastrophe. Wo cannot certainly fix them with the
direct responsibility of an act which, after all, may be
simply an accident; we simply say, here is another Go-
vernment vessel in trouble. It will be remembered that
the Melbourne was originally built for the Queen's ser-
vice, but, after a vast expense had been incurred, was
doclared incapable. She was then handed over to
the company abovementioned, and under their sus_
