LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1853

Everything is now preparation. From the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham to the seat of war in
Moldo-Wallachia, it is all preparation. The Em-
peror of RUSSIA (in spite of the advance of winter)
is preparing fox offensive measures along the
southern boundary of the Principalities. The
Emperor of the FRENCH is still actively preparing
(for warlike purposes) an increase in his maritime
armaments, and (for pacific purposes) that grand
display of the products of industry which is ar-
ranged to take place in 1855, and the site of which
is already defined among the leafless trees of the
Champs Elysees. England is preparing for the
disclosure of a mysterious panacea for all our po-
litical ailments, in the shape of a hotch-potch
Reform Bill—its ingredients being derived from
the various, not to say contradictory crotchets,
opinions, and principles, making up the
olla podrida of the ABERDEEN Coalition.
Turkey is still resolutely preparing for her
unequal struggle with the forces of the AUTO-
CRAT—before her the almost incalculable hordes
of a colossal and infuriated antagonist, at
her back the enthusiastic sympathy of the
civilised races of Western Europe, marred, how-
ever, by the lukewarm and hesitating policy of
their respective Governments. Austria is prepared
to take part with the CZAR, if she can only dis-
cover anything like a tolerable opportunity. Prussia
is prepared to act as best becomes the interest of
her SOVEREIGN in his selfish and sinister designs
upon the lesser powers of the Germanic Con-
federation. Italy is prepared at any moment
to rise in insurrection from one extremity to
another—it matters little whether, at the sum-
mons of a proclamation of MAZZINI, or in answer
to the waving sword of PEPE—ready with all
the remorse of her evil memories (in spite of the
murder of Rossi, and the broken heart of CHARLES
ALBERT, and the dissipated day-dreams of GIOBERTI)
to attempt once more to achieve, at all hazard,
the emancipation of the Roman Peninsula.
Spain is prepared to look for a change, vaguely,
in some dim period of the uncertain future—con-
tenting herself with occasional tokens of indiffer-
ence, not to say contempt, for her reigning Monarch
(tokens such as the hisses which only the other day
greeted
gueen ISABELLA on her entrance into the
theatreat
Madrid)—with ESPARTERO almost for-
gotten in hiprivacy, and CABRERA nearly over-
looked in his banishment, and a daughter of her
people seated by the side of NAPOLEON on the throne
of CITA RI,EMAONe. Portugal
