THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1860.

If any one was looking forward to the Mansion
House Banquet yesterday in the expectation that
the convivial and complimentary speeches there
delivered would possess the smallest atom of politi-
cal significance, he must certainly have found him-
self doomed to disappointment. All the customary
courtesies were exchanged across the fruit and
flowers--the Loving Cup having, as usual, to all
appearance, circulated round the hospitable board
of the great Civic Potentate with such good effect
as to have flavoured appreciably all the honied
words passing to and fro between the illustrious
guests and their lordly entertainer. If there
was any one suave ingredient that predominated
over the rest appreciably in this saccharine elo •
quence, it may be expressed in the one suggary mo•
nosy-llable—Peace. To the concert of harmonious
sounds, in which it was remarkable that that
particular " theme" was the one played upon
with variations by almost all the performers
in succession —to that charming concord of
sweet sounds the French Ambassador, of all
the men in the world, may be said to have
contributed the dulcet tones of the most pastoral
of flageolets. It was like the warbling of the angelic
song pax hominibus bona voluntatis. Insomuch that
listening to its mellifluous cadences even the noble
lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
Could not but remark that "the sentiments which
the French Ambassador had expressed tended to
peace and amity among the nations of the earth
--an end," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " which we
all ardently hoped for." Yes—truly—" the senti-
ments of the t French Ambassador!" But—the
policy of the French SOVEREIGN ? Ah, that in-
deed is a very different matter ! Did it not occur
to many of those who were hearkening last night
to the dulcifluous sentences of M. le Comte de
PERSlGNY—sentences expressive, as Lord JOHN
says, of sentiments tending to promote " peace
and unity among the nations of the earth"—did it
not occur to many of those who "listened delighted"
to the trilling of the Count de PERSIGNY'S pastoral
flageolet—that other sounds were audible across
the Channel (in the camps and seaports, in the
arsenals and dockyards), nay even across the
waters of the Mediterranean (in the Eternal City
and its outport of Civita Vecchia) the sinister sounds
of the working of the grand and complex and iron
mechanism of the despotic Napoleonian Govern-
ment. The French Ambassador is talking of peace,
peace, peace—to the sound of the tread of the
arwe. legions owning allegiance to his Majesty the
EMI OR, and going hither and thither at the Im-
perial bidding with an obedience as implicit as that
evicltenced by the servants of the Centurion. While
the. gentle words of the Count DE PERSIGNY are
still ringing in our recollection—".Chr.que jour les
esprit sont plus clairement, plus nettement frappes
de cette consideration capitale, qu'ayant tout a
gerdre et rien a
,gagner a de nouvelles luttes, lee
deux geuples peu.-vent se faire autant de bien pour
la pad, ,
qu ils p ourraient se faire de mal par la
gueri ;"—while tr Lese most gentle and harmonious
worts are still r: ;raging in our recollection, we still
