[ADVERTISEMENT.]-WHO'S TO WIN THE DE: LBY?
—This question will be satisfactorily answered on the Ist of
March, by THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH, in a pamphlet vi 'hich,
besides the opinions of all the Newspaper i•rophets and Adver Using
Tips, will also contain the List of Probable Starters, and the J, ,ckies
engaged to ride. It will also reveal the mysteries of the Spi irting
Press in connexion with the Turf, and' prove to demonstration that
the Public are scandalously robbed by the Blatheruinskate Tips.

FRANCE.
The following is the text of the note which nas
appeared in the Moniteur under the head of " c :001-
municatee :
. .
Wnen in 1848 it was contemplated to now sate
Prince Louis Nepeleon to the office of the Preside: tt of
the Republic, s< veral English journals, and the gre stint
part of the persons interested in opposing that nom tina-
Mon, pretended that to place a Bonaparte at the I lead
of France, would be to cast down a defiance to, all
Europe—would in fact, the signal for a gen eral
war. It is now apparent to ail that these ap,33 e-
heusious were not realizfd. Since December 2
the same system of calumny has h< en pursued,
and party spirit ani ignorance have contributed to get
them accredited. The most absurd suppositions have
been invented; at ot:e time it was that demands tvere
made to'nei;hbour.ng States in a tone' almost of men: Ice;
at another, that preparations were being made fort var,
and the letters of the foreign correspondents, by ma ,ans
of audacious lies, presented our situation in a point' of
view altogether imaginary. Time, which ordinarily is
prompt enough in treating as it deserves any work. cf
malevolence and folly, appears at preseut to encour age
these persons to go on. More than ever false alarms are
propagated, designs of invasion are attributed to she
Government, and even some of cur regiments are repre
sented as on the point of crossing the frontier. The
coreequence is, that injury is done to public credit, and
obetacles are thrown in the way of the revival of busi-
ness. But the truth is, that since December 2d,
the French Government has net addressed a (ea-
mend of any. kind to the foreign Powers, ex-
cept to Belgium, in order that the Govern-
meet of that country might prevent the systens
cf incessant attacks which had been commenced
there, from being regularly organized. It has not
armed a soldier the more, has not even parsed a
general review—in fact, has not done anything what-
ever which could arouse in the slightest degree the sus -
ceptibility of our neighbours. All the views of the Go-
vernment of France are turned towards iaternal im
protements, and urjust attacks cannot turn it from th 3
course. It will not depart from its calm demeanour,
except on the day when an attack shall have been made
on the national honour and dignity. Its attitude has nc t
ceased for a moment to be pacific, and every piece of in-
telligence which tends to present it under any other:
aspect is a clumsy fable, which, atter a contradiction
formal as the present, can only be treated with contempt.
