THE CZAR BE-CROSSING TEE PRUTS,

( From the Charivari. )
The little Viscount Tartempion had this morning, on
coming to• see me, an unusual air of gaiety. • " Good
morning, my dear fellow," • said he, with a protecting
air. "We have great news to-day. Peace is about
to be made." "No, really." "Absolutely yes. I
always told you that the Emperor of Russia was a fine
fellow, the support of order, the protector of a vast num-
ber of things of various kinds—in fact, the palladium
of Europe." "But, my dear viscount, you seem to
me to have changed your opinion very decidedly from
what it was some time back, for then the Emperor
Nicholas was nothing but a perturbator, and even
the secret ally of demagogues." " Oh, that is nothing.
my dear fellow ; just imagine that I never said anything
of the sort. Nothing is more easy than to arrange mat-
ters with the Czar, who, in reality, never desired any-
thing else." "But the hostilities which have been
going on—" "Oh ! that was a misunderstanding,
and that is • all. At present matters will be arranged
quickly, for the Russian troops hive receiveorders to
evacuate the Principalities." " Good." " They will
repass the Faith." " Very good." " And of course
you comprehend the rest." "I ! I comprehend no-
thing whatever." " And yet it is as clear as crystal.
As the Russians have re-crossed the' Pruth, and gone
home, the Turks have evidently nothing more to do with
them. For why was it that war was waged on the
Czar ? Because he invaded the Turkish territory. Well,
then, the moment he returns within the former limits,
what more can possibly be required from him ? A good
treaty of peace remains to be signed ; all the parties
embrace each other ; every one goes off to his own side,
and the matter is at an end." " And you imagine that
an arrangement • like. that- will satisfy England and
France " Certainly. Why not 1" These two Powers
will have made for nothing such considerable arma-
ments ?" " Oh, that is a mere detail." "They will
have sent armies 49 the, East, and fitted out fleets ?"
" A 'mere detail, I tell you." They will have
experuled hundreds of millions for nothina g w
en hat-
ever t" " But why not ? Such things hpp to
every one now and then." " Will you just allow •me,
viscount, to imagine a case to aid your understanding ?"
"Go on, if. you think fit." " A thief contrives to get
into your house." " Good." "He forced your .door."
" Good." "He murders. your porter, your servant, and
every one that attempts to prevent his coup de main."
" Very good." " You, cry out for help." " Ah,
that I certainly would with all my might." " The
guard arrives. " Well ?" " What does the thief
do He says to the police, Gad, gentlemen, I had
riot the Slightest idea that the matter would have
gone so far; I could never have supposed that my
noble friend, the little Viecount di Tartempion, would
have had sufficient strength of lungs to cry out for help
as he did. I giiie you my honour, I thought he was in
bed, and half dead. But, in fine, since you are in such
numbers, and that my attempt has failed, I renounce it
for the present, however, and I decamp. But, gentlemen,
do not take the trouble to conduct me back, it would really
disoblige me ; I know'the way by myself, I will now bid
you good morning, and hope to be back soon again. With
such an address from the thief, would you, little viscount,
be satisfied ? and do you imagine that the guard would
consider everything at an end, and allow the malefac-
tor to depart I" "Assuredly not." " Well, then, that
is exactly what would come to pass if when the Russians'
had recrossed the Pruth, that little satisfaction from the
Czar should be put up with, and nothing else demanded
from the Emperor Nicholas." " What ! you dare to
compare that august personage to a vulgar thief ? I re-
gret having listened to language so improper as yours,
and I leave you. Palsailibleu ! these demagogues re
spect nothing." At these wordi the little viscount made
a pirouette, and went off to carry his rumours of peace to
the bourse.
