LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1853

Everything is now preparation. From the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham to the seat of war in
koldo-Wallachia, it is all preparation. The Em-

13eror of RUSSIA (in spite of the advance of winter)

is preparing for 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
sthe 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
gnequal struggle with the forces of the AUTO-
PRAT—before her the almost incalculable hordes
IA 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, Rot tosa—
y contempt, for her reigning Monarch
(tokens'
such as the hisses which only the other day
greeted
Queen IsA.BELLA on her- entrance into the
theatre at
—rap-
-1434,4,1\
With ESPARTERO almost for-
votten in his •
l'ivaey, and CABRERA nearly over-
looked in his banishment, and a daughter of her
people seated by the side of NAPOLEON on the throne
of CHARLEMAGNe. Portugal is prepared for the
possibility of some sudden alteration in her destinies
_startled one day by the death of DONNA MAMA DA
GLORIA, and then by the intelligence that DOM
MIGUEL is getting in readiness at his present resi-
dence (Langensbold), a formal intervention in the
question of succession to the Crown of the Bra-
ganzas. Hungary is prepared at any instant—
we believe this now, as we have believed it ever
since 1849—for another of her gigantic risings
waiting eagerly for the apparition of KLAPKA at
the head of a Turkish division among the moun-
tains of Transylvania, or, better still,
for the
long-expected signal from the lips of KOSSUTH
the watchword of liberation. The lesser
tates in immediate proximity with the Seat of
War, no less plainly than those of more obvious
