The spirited deelaration of Lord JouN RUSSELL
has been felt over the water, and its practical
effect has been endeavoured to be shuffled off by
Louis NAPOLEON, who has tampered with the
Bourse to neutralise the shock on the monied in-
terests of France. No wonder then the awkward
position in which the arch intriguer finds himself
placed. It was all very well while he cajoled Lite
English Ministry by listening to the meek and
placid persuasion of Mr. COBDEN as
to the wonderful benefits likely—nay, sure
to accrue, from a system of free trade.
But clever as our peace-at-any-price negotiator
thought himself, backed by the applause of the
Free Trade Cabinet, yet in the end he found him-
self overmatched—aye, and overreached into the
bargain ! It seems to be a fatuity with this
country, that whatever she acquires by the
sword, so surely shall she lose it by the
pen. We pride ourselves upon our freedom
in the exercise of either, but the French
continue somehow or other to take " the
shine out of "iis" at the end of the chapter. Whe-
ther it be from greater dexterity or presumption
blended with a due amount of flattery, we
cannot divine, but certainly we are cozened
to our own surprise and the contempt of the
laughing beholders. Are we too great or magna-
nimous to be wise—or do our riches make us
liberal overmuch in the generosity of our bounty
to thankless rivals ? Here we are done by our
" august Ally," the great man of the people—who
only oares for them in so far as they make brave
soldiers and bow the ready knee to his Imperial
bidding.
The question of Savoy is a settled matter now—
but only fora Om, for Switzerland will not bow
the neck to the French yoke while her people are arm-
ing to support their just rights, founded on the faith
of treaties to which they now appeal. The Emperor
NAPOLEON has been able to threaten the King of
SARDINIA into submissiveness, because he bribed
him first by spoils taken from Austria, and insists
upon an equivalent amount of gratitude for favours
rendered.

But the manoeuvre begins to lose much
of its apparent cleverness now that the
hypocrisy is sO nakedly apparent. VICTOR
EMMANUEL sinks in public estimation,
much in proportion as NAPOLEON rises in
the scorn and distrust of all honest men.
It is not long since our present Prime
Minister paid the penalty of his devotion
on the altar of subserviency to despotic
presumption, and the time may not be far off when
he may peruse a second edition of his French
lesson.

Welearn from the Paris correspondent of the Times
that a despatch from Berne mentions that the Swiss
Govcznraent intend protesting against any occupa-
tion, military or civil, by France, of the provinces
of Clmblais and Faucigny, until such time as the
Powns who have guaranteed the neutrality of
Swit.verland, end who are called upon by the
Cotattleration to see that this neutrality is not
,d, shall have decided upon the matter.
The S wins Government have also replied to M.
Tifouv EN EL'S I tote in answer to the protest of the
Confect (ration tigainst the annexation of the neu-
tralised provnees of Chablais and Faucigny and
the viola tion o fits neutrality and independence.

Thi s e lg the Paper Duty Repeal Bill has
to b. cm Ist de red by the House of Commons in
Coma litte :fs it conceivable, is it possible that
under • existisi 7 circumstances the House can con-
tinue meekly to be quite as complaisant as it
has (tnirabile. dictu) proved to be heretofore ?
