view of politics should thenrto place- duty eiive- expe-
diency, and to urge the sacrifice of anything except honour.
But it is always dangerous to reason from antecedent
probabilities, especially in the case of baffled and de-
feated factions, for they generally prefer their animosities
to their principles, and the gratification of a momP:ntary
spite to consistency in action or elevation in opinions.
Of all who have written on the question., at issue be-
tween the Western Powers and the ET2peror of Russia;
none have taken so mean and groViaing a view of the
controversy as the Fusionist press. They have busied
themselves in suggesting the meanest and most improbable
motives for the action of this country in opposition to
Russia. Unable to believQ in anything but sordid objects
and hollow professions, they have set themselves, with a
perverse ingenuity, to persuade the public of France that
their alliance with England is a bargain in which
France has been craftily overreached, and that, instead of
maintaining the violated law of Europe in the coercion
of a barbarous and aggressive Power and in the preserva-
tion of the rights of nations, France is made the mere

tool of British policy, and is fighting for a prize which
her perfidious ally is destined to bear away. The in-
terest of England, we are told, is " evident and consi-
derable." It consists in her preponderance in the Levant,
in her immense commercial relations with Turkey any',
Asia, in confining Russia within the Black Sea, and
driving her from the East towards the West and?`; orth.
These are the objects for which Liverpool, Glas•gow, and
ar, and for
which we are told, are content to go to Ir
gg
which France is to be involved in a profitlessle.
stru
We have on a former occasion dispr.sed of miserable
insinuations of this kind so far as r',gards India, and a
very few words are sufficient to 'Flow the hollowneis of
the rest. The whole commere:tal system of this country
has undergone a revolution 'which excludes the possibility
of its deriving any adv,a,ntage from the prosecution of
war. England seeir:s no exclusive commercial privileges.
Opening her ovra ports to all nations, she is content to
receive from them such treatment as their more or less
enlightened views of their own interests may induce
them to give. She asks no pre-eminence, no predomi-
nance ; and where, as in China, she has dictated peace
to a conquered enemy, she made no better terms for
hergelf than for every other nation in the world.
Liverpool, Glasgow, and London are well aware
that, in this age of the world, commerce is
not to be extended by arms, nor forced as a burden on
conquered nations at the cannon's mouth. It is to the
interests, not the fears of mankind, that the commercial

spirit of England appeals. Arms may protect her com-
merce, but that commerce must work out its own ex-
tension. The spread of our trade, and the increased de-
mand for our manufactures we find in the power, not in
the weakness, in the progress, not in the barbarism of
foreign countries. Our interests are inseparably con-
nected with the peace, order, and good government of
the world. Every step in advance is to our advantage,
every retrogression to our injury. We hare nothing to
fear from the rival industry and commerce of Russia,
crippled by restriction, borne down by taxes, choked for
want of internal communication, starved for want of
capital, and pining under the withering shade of des-
potism. The Russian fleet may be terrible to the Turks,
but its destruction, should it take place, will add nothing
to our nautical predominance and will destroy the only
hostage we now possess for the good behaviour of its
master. But there is one thing which this country de-
sires, which Glasgow, Liverpool, and London desire,
and the preservation of which is worth all that
could be wrested from a barbarous enemy by a
hundred successful campaigns. That one thing
is Peace. The bare apprehension of war has already
destroyed more capital and defeated more enterprise
than would have served to convert the coasts of the
Black Sea from a howling wilderness to a smiling gar-
den. Blessed with the means of internal prosperity and.
progress such as she never possessed before, it is not the
call of interest, but of duty and honour alone, that Eng-
land permits herself to be turned aside from these allur-
ing pursuits, and is ready to enter on a contest which
she views with reluctance and abhorrence. Such we
believe to be the feeling of France, and, therefore, when
the Fusionist organs ask what gain these countries pro-
pose to themselves by the war in which they are all but
involved, we answer None.
War is a pursuit in which the most brilliant success is
a heavy loss—a loss exactly proportioned to the degree
of social and political advancement of the belligerent
country. But France and England propose to them-
selves something better than territorial aggrandisement,
political preponderance, or commercial monopoly. They
propose to establish the claim of the great European
public to consider itself something better than a band of
robbers, where the strong plunder the weak, and
those not immediately attacked view the outrage
with passive indifference. They propose to vindicate
the supremacy of law over violence—of the con-
science and reason of mankind over barbarous
tyranny and overbearing might ; to preserve the
faith of treaties and the transactions of nations with
each other from that anarchy which is gnawing the very
vitals of their internal polity. When they shall have
discharged this sacred duty, when they shall have chas-
tised the aggressive power which tramples on public law
and spurns at the very idea of national independence,
France and England will gladly lay aside their arms and
return to the arts of p6ace,
proud in the consciousness
that nothing by their sacrifices and
dangerse
excepthave
the gainedr respect
p
ect and gratitude of Europe.
This is the only answer we can give to the question of
the Fusionist journal as to what France has to gain in
the struggle with Russia. No doubt, it would be far
more agreeable to both branches of the Bourbon family,
united in nothing, we believe, so strongly as in their
country and their subserviency to the
false to her treaties, her honour, her
hcaztarre, d

baseness under the pretext of moderation and neutrality,
and suing for the employment of mediator, instead of
speaking with the tone of imperial command and autho-
rity. Whatever France lost by the ejection of the elder
and younger branches of the Bourbon family, there
is no doubt that Russia has every reason to regret
their fall. The Revolution of, 1830 intercepted an alli-
ance between the King of France and the Emperor by
no means favourable to the interests of Great Britain,
and Louis Philippe, in a long series of humiliating over-
tures, compromised the dignity of France in order to
procure the support of the Emperor Nicholas for the
title of the Orleans family. What wonder that the fusion
of.these two families should be inaugurated by an attempt
to divorce France from the alliance of a country from
which many benefits, repaid with

( From the Times of this day. )

A few days ago we called attention to the cynical
tone, the total absence of political morality, and
•
the inability to conceive any motives higher than
those of the most sordid, immediate, and short-
sighted interest, which characterise the Fusionist
journals of France. Embarked in a cause which
appeals to no immediate interest and holds out no pros-
pect of material advantage, the organ of the re-united
scions of the house of Bourbon has made itself above all
things conspicuous for its rejection of the feelings of
honour and duty, and stands at the bar of public opinion
a criminal convicted of
sacrificing the interests of its
country to those of its party, without honour and expe-
diency, and without conciliating the esteem of the gene-
rous, or commanding the approbation of the prudent.
In a tone of abject humility journal
. this tells us that, at
the moment when the question of war has become imme-
diate, and before the struggle begins, it has felt it its duty
to examine the interests of France and England in
the struggle, without party spirit, and without the pre-
tension to influence the decisions of Government, and
that, a war once commenced, the policy of France shall
be its own. In this intermediate stage, then, the po•
licy of France and of the Fusionist organ is not iden-
tical. While peace lasts the interests of its party are
to be served at the expense of its country, and only in
the case of war is the larger duty to predominate over
the smaller. This is no obscure confession of faith.
On what patriotic principle could the Fusionist party
be moved to select the moment of impending war
for seeking to sow mistrust and discord between
France and her principal ally ? This policy can
t only have one of two objects—tither to separate

Prance from the alliance of England, and to carry
her over to, the side of Russia, or to persuade her that
she is acting in subservience to the interests of a foreign
and unfriendly power. The first would, at the point to
which matters have gone, be fatal to her dignity and her
honour ; the second would prevent her acting with energy
and unanimity in the prosecution of the war. Either
might well subserve the interests of the Fusion, but both
would-be eminently disastrous to the welfare of France.
It might serve the objects of declining factions to dis-
honour the Government of France by isolating and
weakening the policy of the country, or to neutralize
her resistance to Russia, in order to facilitate the
triumph of that mighty patron to whom the re-
united Bourbons look for support. The essence of such
efforts is to raise a faction at the expense of the country,
and to postpone the interests of the first empire of the
continent to the paltry intrigues of two repudiated
dynasties.

-The question of the East is, we are informed, a ques-
tion of preponderance betwer:n England and Russia in
the Councils of Turkey. The embassy of Prince Mens-
chikoff had, it seem; D. 15 other object than to re-establish
the interest of Russia against that of England. Because
England protectcti Turkey in 1840 against Mehemet Ali,
by whica she Pc;iined nothing whatever, she must be actu-
ated by the most sordid motives in her present support of
Turkey 'against Russia. This is the Fusionist account of the
preF.ent quarrel with Russia. We appeal to the manhood,
the honesty, the truth of the nations and Governments of
Europe, whether it be the just one Is it to support
the preponderance of England that France, Prussia,
and Austria have joined with ter in recommending
terms of agreement to Russia, in which England claims
no right, no power, no privilege, which is not equally
conceded to each of the i*,eat Powers ? We know what
preponderance Russia Las aimed at in Turkey. By treaty
after treaty she had stripped her enemy of her provinces,
her prieeges, ker rights of free navigation and of in-
ternal government, until at last nothing remains but
the provir.ces she is about to invade, and the capital
she already prepares to storm. This is, indeed,
a,mb;:cion and preponderance ; but what privilege has
Itngland demanded ? What advantage does she now
demand at the expense of Turkey Where are the
provinces she has ravished from her, or the concessions
she has enforced ? In concert with Russia and France,
England established the kingdom of Greece, but with-
out seeking or obtaining anything by the .change. The
Fusionists tell us that an union of the Five Powers is
- impossible ; that England and Russia can never act to-
gether. England desires this union, which has suc-
ceeded so well on so many other occasions, but Russia
refuses to allow any one but herself for judge of her
claims. Is this the proof of England's desire for pre-
dominance ?

The Fusionist organ desires for France a position
tion at the head of the, neutral powers of Europe, leav-
ing to Russia free liberty to violate the rights of nations,
and to England the glory and danger of maintaining
them alone. T'ne seizure of Moldavia and Wallachia is,
it is said, nr;thing to France, which seeks no predomi-
nance, p:nd is only a blow to the gimping spirit of Eng-
land. Why, then, should France trouble herself to repel
an 'lnvasion which is really only levelled at our greedi-
ness and lust of empire ?
We cannot descend to notice at such a time the long
catalogue of invidious reminiscences which the organ of
the Fusion has deemed it for the present interest of its
party to disinter from the annals of France and Englan I
—unfortunately only too fruitful in such unhappy topics.
Whatever they have been, France and England, at
any rate, are now friends, united in one noble cause—
the champions of a common civilisation—the enemies
of barbarism and aggression. It would be disgraceful
for England to seek, under the pretence of vindicating
the national law of Darope and curbing the outbreaks
of brutal violence, for any private or personal advantage.
The Fusionists are determined to find such a motive,
though they are perpetually varying in their estimate
of what it may be. At first it was for the sake of our
Indian Empire, then for our trade in the Levant, and
now for the vague and shadowy object of preponderance
in the East. We emphatically deny that England is
actuated by any of these aims. It is to resist the
preponderance of Russia, not to establish her own, that
she is now on the threshold of a war from which her

every feeling recoils and every interest revolts ; and,
instead of trusting to obtain anything for herself in the
coming confusion, she has been careful, before draw-
ing the sword, clearly to record the terms on which
she will be always ready to sheathe it. But, if that
griping selfishness which the Fusionists impute to
England be unworthy of her motives* and degrading
to her character, what shall we say of the part
which the organs of a dynasty which claims France as
its natural heritage mark out for the land which it aspires
to rule ? To abdicate its historic position among Euro-
pean nations—to leave the care of asserting public law
and redressing the balance of power to other hands—to
stand tamely by and see the battle on which the liberties
and civilization of Europe may depend fought out with-
, out daring to strike a blow for the right—to affect the
office of a mediator, when, on the one side, there has
been nothing but injustice received, and on the other
nothing but injustice inflicted,—this is the destiny which
the sons of their ancient Kings propose to the gallant
and high-spirited people of France. What interest may
be served by such policy we will not stop to inquire ;
but assuredly that interest is not the interest of France,
nor that policy the policy of a great. country. We are
happy to believe that these degrading propositions are
rejected by the good sense and magnanimity of the French
nation with a scorn fully equal to our own.
