Paris Papers to. the 2d inst.' reached toxin. last
night, containing the long expected Expose. It
proves, hOwever, to be a docUment so perfectly
vapid, so absolutely void of all boasting, of all
promise, of all prospect, that the first sensation on
reading -it is that of surprise at the nothingness of
its contents. Not a word about ‘i our allies.;"
. not a word about " our grand army';" not a
n'ot' a about victories ; the high destinies of the
" thieat Nation," its preponderance in ifmrope,
or !illy expected achievement by its forces. In-
stead of all these topics, which were wont to form
so, prominent a part of former Exposes, which
were twisted into such a variety orthapes, made
to glitter In antitheSia, and.threaten in high sound-
Itinglia6e the liberties and the repose of the
Continent, we have a 'pastoral 'dissertitioh

rains of Spanish breed, and stallions ! That
the Expose commences, and goes on throtigh
