LONDON; WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1856,

-~ ---

414 We have beard repeatedly from Septuagenarians
.`t the:remai,,k,„ that they recollect no former Peace
• for which there was so little rejoicing as for the
, present one. Recollecting, especially, the exulta-
tiou Which followed the Peace cf 1815, and which
• many of us, as boys, can well remember too, the
totafabionee of all popular signs of gladness, the
absence•even of social congratulations strikes them
forcibly.. How very few of us have met one friend
who' speaks of the peace with hearty pleasure.
Even- Lord PALMERSTON"couId afford to be out of
' ' his 'Plebe When he should have announced it to the
te:e -House of Commons—and the announcement was,
.. . •
in.fact, no Ministerial announcement ; it Was a
• -mere answer to a common question. Not so did
ALEXANDER and NAPOLEON HI: proclaim the fact
to theii: subjects—this nonchalance could not arise,
therefore,- from the non-ratification, at the
moment, of the treaties. Doubtless, the only
cause was, that the Prime Minister shared the
feelings of the House and the nation ; he felt that
he-had achieved nothing for England to rejoice
io, and sympathised in heart with his fellow Sep-
. • tuagenatrans, whom we meet in daily life. The
ni"•rnieg, expressed the general senti-
ment far more eotrectly than the (Yung of the Park
.and Tower.
.But how is this ? The
Pr'Plilace at least, on
former
.occasions were always loud' in their joy
• when peace was proclaimed,They rejoiced even
at the Peace of Amiens, yet the million now as
• well as the educated and reflective, wish that we
had tried another catnpaign. One hundred
• liens, of money lost, • and lives sacrificed to the
litorse•-guards by thousands, high prices and war
taxes, yet find the people eager for another
- round, and' 'sorry that such a base second
as Austria has deprived them of the oppor-
tunity.We read of the magnanimity of
• the ton= Senate never crushed by ad-
verse campaigns, but we think the magnanimity
Of -our common people surpasses that of any other,
ancient or modern. The costerrnongering Prussians
'liked thee-War because they trafficked with the
