GLENNY'S GARDEN ALMANAC for 1847.
A copious almanac of seasonable intelligence for
the horticulturist, illustrated with a profusion of in-
genious engravings, and arranged with an eye to
facility of reference. Among other advantages, there
are an extraordinary list of provincial florists, ex-
planations for grafting, directions for the cultivation of
the more delicate roots, and instructions for the
proper management of orchards. Every nurseryman,
gardener, seedsman, and florist will find infinite use in
this little publication.

THE BILLOW AND THE ROCK. By Hartle,
Martineau. Knight's Monthly Volume,: V.

Another of those simple and delightful tales which
no one knows bow to pen better than Miss Martineau.
What we have already admired in her " Game-law
Tales" we admire again in this pleasant little fiction.
The style is unaffected and most effective. The ob-
ject is highly benevolent, the principles inculcated
those of the soundest morality, the narrative peculiarly
domestic, and the characters and incidents singularly
natural. Besi3es this, the stories of Miss Martineau
have an effect upon the reader more enduring than
that produced by the majority of similar compositions.
They leave behind them a sediment of generosity and
brotherly love which becomes in time part of the dis-
position itself. The character of Lady Carse is drawn
with considerable energy, and it would have been
manifest how largely the authoress had pillaged from
the history of Lady Grange, even supposing the foot-
note in which that fact is intimated had been alto-
gether omitted. The "Billow and the Rock" will
wile away the time whenever it hangs heavily, and
impart a noble lesson simultaneously.

THE HEROINES OF SHAKSPERE. No. VII.

It is well that that Shakspereian artist, Kenn_ ea
Meadows, should in some measure participate in the
production of this beautiful work. His " Cleopa-
tra,"—that fascinating " serpent of old Nile"—is a
clever conception. The scorn and authority of
her eyes, the chiselling of her features, the oriental
magnificence of her costume, and the glimpses of her
bust and arm, are exquisite. The " Princess of
France," from " Love's Labour Lost," seems as
though it would not be difficult for her to comply
with the entreaties of Biron :
" Bruise me with scorn, coufouad me with a flout ;
Thrust thy sharp wit quite through my ignorance;
Cut me to pieces with thy keen conceit."
" Viola," on the contrary, is the most insipid of all
romantic masqueraders.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Obsening in your valuable journal of this day
a letter, signed " Thomas S. S. Gabriel, R.N.," in which
he states, "every one was given to understand that Mr.
Macintosh was to arrive here on Monday last, and com-
mence immediate operations towards her rescue, and it
is now confidently reported that that gentleman has not
undertaken to relieve her from her present perilous si-
tuation ;" I beg leave to state, that I never had any
idea of being near the Great Britain on Monday, al-
though Mr. Gabriel and his friends might have expected
me, and it is perfectly untrue that I have abandoned the
taking of her off the shore by my plans.
I have the honour to be, your obedient servant,

now virtually acknowledged, and the ingratitude of
such intolerable duration is obliterated by a generous
and extensive advancement. In consequence of the
postponement of this proceeding the different ranks,
but especially those of the highest character, had
become liable to the inconvenience of em-
bracing an unnecessary number of officers.
So enormous was this obstacle to advancement in
either profession, that hope became extinguished
even in the most sanguine temperaments, that emu-
lation was almost entirely destroyed, and that senti-
ments of apathy, and in some instances, of absolute
disgust, began to interfere with the incitements to
naval and military enterprise. Such were the natural
but grievous consequences of this impolitic apathy in
the Legislature. By denying the reasonable oppor-
tunities for promotion the Government was literally
endeavouring to stunt the laudable ambition of its
defenders ; by preventing the extension of the
branches they were distorting the development of
the stem ; by extracting the very sap of the profes-
sions they were actually diminishing the chances of
a healthy and prolific' fruitage. The energies of our
commanders, whether naval or military, were
being cramped and denuded by a pernicious and almost
unprecedented parsimony. By the magnificent
brevet, however, announced in the Gazette, and already
published in The Sun, a multitude of preventives to
emulation have been removed, many deserving offi-
cers have received the guerdons which they have
won by their superior intelligence or their distin-
guished valour, by their inestimable sagacity in
the council chamber or their brilliant achievements
in the battle-field, with the decisions recorded by
their pens, or at the point of their good swords. The
evil of such lamentable continuance will be forgotten
now that our veterans are remunerated for its in-
fliction.

A cursory survey of this promotion will illustrate
its importance, and afford some adequate conception
of how much it was required. In the army brevet
alone there are no less four hundred and
ninety individual cases of advancement ; while
in the navy brevet (we regret to observe
the extraordinary disparity of numbers
between the promotions connected with the Horse
Guards and the Admiralty), we recognise two hundred
and forty-three instances of advancement. In the
Royal Artillery are enumerated sixty-three; in the
Royal Engineers, thirty-one; in the Royal Marines,
twenty-five. Three individuals have been honoured
with an elevation to the loftiest dignity afforded by the
military profession, and in each particular have most
eminently entitled themselves to the distinction. The
number of Field-Marshals of Great Britain is con-
sequently increased from six to nine, by the promo-
tion to that supreme dignity of the Marquis of Ax-
GLESEY, of Sir GEORGE NUGENT, and of General
THOMAS GROSVENOR. The services of the Master-
General of the Ordnance require for their recog-
nition none of the lustre. of panegyric ; they are
intimately associated with those of our second MARL-
BOROUGH, the Duke Of WELLINGTON, they are in-
scribed upon those pages of history which have been
written in characters of glory now almost half a
century bygone. 'LIn reference to the claims of Field-
Marshal Sir GEORGE NUGENT we can only e xpress
our sorrow that such claims were not more readily
confessed, and that a veteran who has been unre-
mittingly employed during so considerable a portion
of the seventy-three years which have elapsed since
the July of 1773, should only be rewarded thus at
the venerable age of ninety. It is sufficiently re-
markable to be henceforth remembered that an emi-
nent soldier, engaged in the first American war,
namely from 1777 until its conclusion in 1783, should
have been nominated Field-Marshal in 1846. The re-
maining officer in this triumvirate is Field-Marshal
Inossas GROSVENOR, Colonel of the 65th Foot, who,
by a career of industry, courage, perseverance, and
enterprise, from his first entrance into the profession
in 1779, has nobly won his baton. We could gladly
enter into an elaborate analysis of the catalogue of
this splendid brevet, did not its very copiousness pre •
elude us from the endeavour. It will, however, be
remarked with exultation by all who are patriotically
interested in the recognition of valour and self-
forgetfulness, evidenced in upholding the national
cause, that the hero of Ali wal, Sir HARRY
SM LT 11, has been created a Major-General ;
that the hero of Acre and the Tagus, Sir
1,11A11.1.hS icaL I.a, h.. 40 beta assented a Roar- A dmiral ;
that the hero of Navarino, Sir EDWARD CODRING-
TON, has been created Admiral of the Red. Such
nominations are essentially worthy of this auspiciou,
occasion : without the names of those illustrious
public servants, the brevet would have been a gigantic
blunder, amounting to an absolute defiance of the
national will. It would be sorry, if not actually
impossible, to deny the inadequate boon of rank to a
a a SMITH, and a CODRINGTON.
rsa,
Nevertheless, while we congratulate the naval and
military services upon this substantial acknowledg-
ment of the merits of some amongst their most dis-
tinguished and deserving officers, we cannot buy
lament the peculiar exclusiveness of these inter-
tnittent brevets. We cannot but lament that while
the wearers of the epaulet and aiguilette receive the
recompense of their exertions for the national welfare
and preservation, the wielders.of the bayonet and the
hanger should remain unrewarded for their equally ar-
duous labours for the promotion of the same object.
While emulation is excited in the mess-room, it should
not be, as it is wholly denied to the barrack-yard.

There is something intensely
injudicious in this pertinacious retention of stimulants
and rewards from the bulk of our soldiers and seamen.
Surcehg u frequent s
niggardliness
is among the most
g
in-
tellect, it fritters away the energy, it quells the am-
bition, it confirms the evil passions and withers the
noblest aspirations of our gallant men. We are
desirous of some extensive and decisive reform
in these particulars, not so much with the
expectation of turning a sailor "before the mast "
into 'a boatswain, and subsequently into a NELSON
or a PELLEW ; not so much with an anxiety to
behold a drummer metamorphosed into a sergeant,
blemishes
of
ou r system ; it warps the
and afterwards into a NAPOLEON or a FREDERICK,
as to elevate the general character of our
defenders, to instil into their hearts a persuasion
that their country will not prove ungrateful
to those who 'uphold her glory or maintain
her integrity, however humble they may be in posi-
tion : that iniluStry, and prowess, and activity,
and honesty, and sagacity, and perseverance, will
enable any one, without the adventitious aids of interest
or blood, to attain the very loftiest rank : that a
Government endeavours to follow the divine example
of OMNIPOTENCE by caring for the little as well as
the great ; that, as in the regard of the latter a
sparrow and an emperor deinand their full pro-
portion of attention, so with the former the colonel
and the drummer, the admiral and the ship-boy, will
receive a proportionate amount of regard. With this
reformation in the services, the naval and military
professions would be materially elevated, and the
brevets would be just as well as generous.

Never had any Government more arduous or more
serious duties to attend to than the present. Were Ire-
land the only portion of territoryto which theirfunctions
were limited, in the place of being, as they are, ex-
tended over immense tracts of earth, peopled with
millions upon millions, where British don.inion pre-
vails in every quarter of the globe, none could deny
that the state of Ireland is sufficient to tax the ener-
gies of the Executive to the uttermost, or the
grave responsibility inseparable from their Minis-
terial position. Lord LIVERPOOL once said
no one could easily conceive the perpetual anxiety
incidental to the Premiership of England, or with
what feelings the chief servant of the Crown contem-
plated the delivery of each day's post, by which the
actual position of her great and vast dependencies in
either hemisphere was to be ascertained and consi-
dered. Neither is it facile to depict the serious sen-
timents with which Lord JOHN RUSSELL must await
in these days the receipt of each morning's intelli-
gence from the other side of St. George's Channel.
Threatened as Ireland has been to be scourged in
every part with destitution, disease, pestilence, and
famine, aware that these frightful evils are still immi-
nent, that victims of starvation have already swelled
the tables of mortality, and that a patient and endur-
ing people have already, in some instances, from
Actual despair, been tempted to burst the bonds of

social order, the mind of our Prime Minister must be
precluded from the enjoyment of repose. The events
which are passing on the great Transatlantic conti-
nent, where a reckless spirit of territorial aggrandise-
ment pervades the councils and governs the operations
of a grasping republic—the hasty, unbecoming, and
unscrupulous diplomacy recently suffered to creep in
and predominate in the Cabinet of Madrid, subversive
of an international cordiality between England and
France, the maintenance of which has been hitherto
regarded as the best guarantee for the preservation of
peace in Europe—the state of Portugal, where the
throne is shaken, and revolution is pursuing her
almost ephemeral, yet ominous gambols,—these, and
the like, must, in turns, be diurnally demanding the
vigilant attention of our statesmen. Yet upon Ire-
land it is, from her pressing and accumulative
sorrows, and in preference to any of the above enume-
rated objects of national concern, that the eye of the
reflective patriot is intently fixed, satisfied that, so
long as that great artery of British power continues
its present irregular action, the lustre of our fame
will be tarnished,.and our integral peace and pros
perity incessantly endangered.
Toe latest news from Dublin is, upon the whole, of
an inspiriting character. Some occasional outrages
have been committed ; the officers of the Government
have here and there been roughly handled, and the
transmission of corn, meal, and flour, has not, in every
case, been successfully or peaceably accomplished.
Still, we perceive with gladness that the
principle of voluntary relief is being acted upon in a
very improved spirit, with signal benefit, in various
parts. In Wexford the landed proprietors have taken
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S valuable hint, by purchasing
and dispensing provisions to appointed vendors, who
are permitted to realise a small profit. By this plan
the people will not find the blessing of food to be
beyond their reach. In the barony of Kinalea the
system of task work, and the amount of wages earned
by it, is now appreciated by the labourers, who have
become zealous in their employment, and contented in
their minds. At a county meeting in Longford,
amongst other resolutions, the chairmen of several
relief committees passed the following :
" That we consider that the hitherto peaceable and
exemplary conduct of the people of this country is de-
serving of the highest praise, and entitles them to all the
consideration which the Government may find it possible
to grant them."

This gratifying tribute to the temperate demeanour
of the people, under their trying afflictions, will, we
are convinced, be cheerfully recognised by the Go-
vernment, as it constitutes the strongest recommenda-
tion for their co-operative aid.

The proceedings at the Repeal Association on
Monday were neither lengthy nor very impor-
tant. Mr. O'CONNELL made a short speech. lle
fairly enough covered the " Young Ireland" party
with his powerful ridicule. Their announcement that
the Nation newspaper was to be the sole pivot of
their organisation naturally led the Liberator to be
somewhat facetious :

What valiant and gallant heroes they were, that,
refusing to be led by such a coward as O'Connell, who
would not fight the horse, foot, and artillery of England,
will expend all their bravery iu the columns of a news-
paper ?—(Laughter.) What a phalanx, to be sure !
(Continued laughter.) He wondered who was the
brigadier•general. But it was to be a literary phalanx
after all. They were to use quills instead of-pikes, and
pencils instead of bayonet.—(lioars of laughter.)"
Mr. O'CONNELL took occasion to warn the people
against the lamentable consequences that would re-
sult if they did not refrain from impeding the transit
of provisions to their several destinations, and like.
wise from molesting the officers of the Board of
Works. Everything will turn fur better or for worse,
according to the adoption or neglect on the part of
the people of this important advice. We hope and
believe it will be generally complied with. Mr.
O'CONNELL was about to attend a meeting of the
Royal Agricultural Society, with the view of inducing
them to concur in a more liberal policy. This in-
directly smacks of an approval of Lord J. RUSSELL'S
counsel, embodied in the recent letter to the Duke of
LEINsTEit, which we noticed at length a few days
since. We trust Mr. O'CONNELL will succeed in his
object.

A circular prepared by a committee of tenan

farmers in the county of Antrim, addressed to the
landlords of that county, has been widely distributed.
Both in style and matter it is far beyond what could
hp looked for from the class of persons from whom it
ha► emanated. It presents a fair and temperate view
of their condition, and states the indulgence they hope
for from those whose estates they cultivate ; their
demands appear to be reasonable, and twiny land-
owners have already made voluntary reductions fully
equivalent to the expectations of, their tenantry.
Generally speaking, the relationship between land-
lord and tenant in Ulster is placed on a sounder and
better footing than in any other part of Ireland. The
proprietors of the soil are less encumbered by debts
or charges affecting their properties, a much
larger proportion of the rental of the county
remains in their pockets, and is applicable to their
own purposes than in the southern or western
counties. The gentry are more provident, and look
forward with greater prudence to the. future ; they
are not compelled, from their own necessities, to
extort the utmost farthing that can be wrung from
the occupiers, leaving barely sufficient to those by
whose labour the land ii cultivated to support a pre-
carious existence. They are well aware that the real
interest of the landlord is closely connected with, and
cannot be separated from, that of the tenant, and that
by letting their lands at a fair and reasonable rate,
and holding out encouragement to the improving
tenant, although their nominal rent-roll may be
lower, they obtain,a larger amount of payment from
the same quantity of land than others who act on a
different and more objectionable principle. Above all,
they concede what is called " the tenant right," the
effects of which have proved most beneficial wherever
it has been brought into operation. In speaking of
this right the report of Lord DEVON'S Commission
says : •--" Under the influence of this custom the
tenant claims, and generally exercises, a right to dis-

pose of his holding for a valuable consideration,
although he may himself be a tenant-at-will, and
although he may have expended nothing in permanent
improvements; that sums equal to ten, twelve, or
fifteen years' purchase upon the rents are commonly
given for the tenant right, and this not only where
the rent is considered low, but where it is fully equal
to the value." And when alluding to its effects, the
Commissioners add :—"Anomalous as this custom is, if
considered with reference to all ordinary notions of
property, it must be admitted that the district in
which it prevails has thriven and improved in compa-
rison with other parts of the country." This valuable
testimony establishes a fact that will little surprise
any one accustomed to think profoundly, or to rea-
son correctly. A feeling of proprietorship has arisen
in the minds of the tenants ; they know that they
will not be driven from their tenements so long as
they perform their parts of their contract with the
proprietors ; that any improvements they may effect
by their own industry will not have the effect of de-
priving them of the possession, or of enhancing the
rent of their farms ; that if they should desire
to leave the locality, they will obtain, in
the shape of a higher price for " the good
will," full compensation for their expendi-

ture' of labour or capital. Hence a motive for exer-
tion and industry is supplied : they know that they
will receive a fair return either in the length and cer-
tainty of their tenure, or in an equivalent payment
on quitting their farms. Agrarian outrages—the
most fertile source of riot and disturbance—are un-
known in those favoured districts, and the landlord
is, except under extraordinary circumstances, certain
to receive the full amount the tenant has contracted
to pay ; and the occupier, whose own rights are fully
recognised, learns to respect those of the owner.
The document to which we have adverted acknow-
ledges the duty of the tenant, as a plain matter of
justice between man and man, to pay the
full amount of his contract, and that the
landlord is entitled to enforce the same, but
they intimate that as their present position is not
only deeply distressing, but altogether new, they
require to be treated with on a principle of indulgent
liberality corresponding with their novel and perilous
position. They state that their potatoes are gone,
their oats have fallen short of their expectations, and
that, while some of their number may have a small sur-
plus of agricultural produce to dispose of, many must
purchase largely in a dear market for the support of their
families, in addition to consuming the entire produce
of their holdings ; that linen, the chief article of their

manufacture, is in a most depressed state, and that, I
although pork and butter sell freely at remu-
nerative prices, they cannot realise the advan-
tages, the food for swine being wholly lost, and
the change of diet rendered necessary by the
potato failure obliging them to appropriate
'a larger portion of the produce of their dairies to
household purposes than heretofore, they feelingly
ask whether, under such circumstances, their land-
lords will compel them to sell their cows, or part with
the only portion of bread that remains for the sup-
port of their families, in order to satisfy their rents.
Justice, they know, would sanction it, but mercy in-
terposes and forbids the cruelty; they implore that
there shall be no act of severity exhibited towards
them during the arduous trials they are
.called on to
encounter, anal faithfully promise that on their part
there shall be- no combination against landlords—no
conspiracies in opposition to the payment of rent.
They state that they are destitute of means but
possess willing minds, and on that ground alone do
they crave a liberal indulgence; and they earnestly
pray that in good faith, mutual attachment,
and undiminished confidence, their landlords may
affectionately meet them in a spirit of generous
and liberal compromise. They propose to make a
prompt effort to pay one-half the gale .of rent now
due, and ask that the landlords shall freely forgive
the remainder, and they state that they ask the re-
mainder to be forgiven, for they are justly averse to
the accumulation of a debt in the shape of arrears,
which, while they live, they have no prospect of pay-
ing ; it is only calculated to cramp their energies and
to sink them into utter despondency.
Such an appeal cannot be disregarded ; it carries
with it a conviction of its justice and expediency.
We trust that the landlords of Antrim may respond
to it in a similar spirit, and that mutual concessions
will more closely cement the ties between them, and
increase the feelings of mutual regard and respect
that should exist between landlords and tenants.

Letters from St. Petersburgh state that the long-
talked-of project of forming a railroad from that
capital to Ballishport, on the Baltic, is about to be
c irried into execution by a company formed at St.
Petersburgh. The Government guarantees to the
company 4i per cent. on the capital actually expended
in its completion. The same company has also ob-
tained an authorisation to lay a railroad between
Cronstadt and St. Petersburgb, with a branch to
Moscow.

The sale of gun-cotton in Bavaria has been pro-
hibited by the Goverument, on the ground that as it
cannot by its appearance be distinguished from ordi-
nary cotton its sale may give rise to accidents.
According to the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort,
it is intended to form a general Italian Customs
Union.

A' grand banquet was given on the 30th to the
celebrated RONGE at Brunswick, at which 180 guests
were present. Many toasts were given, and among
them one to Pope Pius IX., proposed by Pastor
BESTE, an orthodox Protestant. In the evening
RONGE was present at the burgher assembly, where
he delivered a discourse in which he traced the deve-
lopment of German Catholicism in Silesia. He was
loudly applauded. The galleries were filled with
ladies.

Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived.
No authentic intelligence had been received from
Portugal, although there were many alarming rumours
on the subject of Portuguese affairs current in
Madrid. It is again confidently affirmed that one of
the first measures proposed to the new Cortes will be
a revision of the tariff. This will be done, it is said,
for the purpose of endeavouring to conciliate England
after the affront put upon her by the Montpensier
marriage. It cannot be denied but that a relaxation
of the protective and prohibitory system of tariffs
adopted in Spain would be of advantage both to Spain
and to England.

It was reported that the KING of the FRENCH
was about to create MUNOZ a French Duke
at the request of Queen CHRISTINA. It is im-
possible, however, to attach any credit to a rumour so
absurd.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.

The absence of the Marquis of NORMANDY is the
subject of comment in almost all of them except the
Journal des Debuts, the organ of the Ministry.
The Presse, the organ of the Court, says—

‘; •
Some of the journals have commented on the ab-
sence of Lord Normsnhy from the reception of the di-
plomatic body at the TuEeries. It appears to us that
this absence might have born foreseen, and that it adds
nothing to the manifestations of displeasure and bad
teeding which the affair of the marriage has furnished
England an occasion to display. We say, in addition,
that if this absence of the Engli,b, Ambassador must ab-
solutely be considered as a new protest of the Govern-
ment which he represents, it must be admitted, Out the
other hand, that the presence of the Ambassadors of all
the other powers is a very signifietint adhesion, which
ought to remove the doubts that some persons are
trying to disseminate as to the sentiments manifested
on this occasion by the continental powers. All were
represented at this reception by their Ministers now
present at Pdris, or by their Councillors or Secretaries
f Embassy. The Commerce was wrong yesterday in an-
nouncing that the Belgian Ambassador had imitated
the English one—the Prince de Ligne was present at the
reception."
This last asser:ion of the Presse is untrue, and
considering the source from which the article ema-
nates, those who directed it to be penned must have
been perfectly aware that it was untrue at the time.
" The Prince DE LJGNE," says Galignani's Messenger,
" is absent from his post en cove, and the KING of
the BELGIANS 13 at this moment represented here by
Count ROGIER, as chargé daffaires. M. ROGIER also
was absent from the public reception on Saturday
but we hear that he is to have a private reception."
This little incident will give some idea of the reck-
less disregard for truth which has characterised the

organS of the Tuileries throughout the whole of the
controversy on the subject of the Montpensier marriage.
As another instance, we may mention the direct con-

tradiction given by the Portrfeuille, the organ of the
Foreign Minister, to the malicious assertion of the
Presse, that the Marquis of NORMANDY had insisted
on having both sides of M. GUIZOT'S folding-doors
opened to him when he recently waited on that
Minister. The organs of the Château seem to adopt
in its entirety the maxim of RICHELIEU, that there
should be no hesitation in asserting that which is
false, although the discovery of the falsehood must
take place within twenty-four hours, provided before
such discovery take place, the falsehood should have
produced the effect desired. The Siecle has the fol-
lowing observations on the absence of the Marquis of
NORMANDY :

" It appears to us that an excessive importance ought
not to be attached to incidents of this nature. England
is no more resolved on an epen rupture than the
northern powers on an intimate alliance with France.
The presence of the Ambassadors of Prussia, Russia,
and Austria proves nothing, unless that these powers do
not think that the marriage of a prince' of the House of
Orleans with an Infanta of Spain is contrary to the
treaty of Utrecht, all other questions remaining reserved,
and particularly that of ascertaining whether or not the
pragmatic sanction of 1713, which changes the order of
succession to the crown, does not form part with the
treaty recognising the riz,ht of Phi!ip V. and his
descendants. The absence of the Britannic Ambassador
has a double signification—it means, first of all, that
England understands the treaty of Utrecht differently
from France; and, secondly, that the marriage of the
Duke de Montpenaier with the Infanta has been contrary
to verbal conventions passed at the Château d'Eu. On
the first point there are two decisive answers to the
arguments of England. Austria, Prussia, and Holland
do not attach to the reciprocal renunciations of 1713 the
same interpretation as the English Foreign-office. Russia
ranges itself wish the opinion of these powers. Here,
then, is England alone against all the Governments that
signed the treaty or adhered to it. It is true that the
Northern powers refer to the pragmatic sanction of
Philip V., and pretend that the crown of Spain cannot
come to the female line until after the males in all the

branches are—e;tinet. But England, in recognising
Queen Isabella, has formally recognised the rights of the
Infanta Luisa. There is, there!ort., nothing. serious but
the arguments drawn from the conventions of the Cha-
teau d'Eu ; and this is only a question of procedure be•
tween the two Courts and the two Cabinets, the dignity
of the two nations remaining perfectly intact and foreign
to this discussion, more dynastic and personal than po-
litical. As to the absence of the Belgian Ambassador,
it proves that King Leopold does not take part against
his own family, which has been wounded in its interests
and self-love. But it must not be inferred that the King
of the Belgians renounces the part of mediator attributed
to him by the letters of the English correspondents.
We think, on the contrary, that if the son-in-law of
King Louis Philippe places himself apart at present, it
is because his remaining away can alone offer a pledge
of impartiality to the two Cabinets. When any one de-
sires to act as arbitrator or conciliator the way
