THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDA I, AUGUST 1, 186(;,

• -

Let ns beat our swords into ploughshares, and ,
learn war no more! France is all for peace, and
if France desires peace who now will stir up war ?
The letter itself, which Lord JOHN RUSSELL told
us last night was a private one, was this morning
communicated by two of our morning contempo-
raries to the whole of England. As this of course,
"my dear PERSIONY " would not have done
without the permission of the writer, we are at
liberty to regard the letter itself as addressed,
through the Count, to all the people of England,
and to " my dear Lord PALMERSTON " in parti:
cular. For him, indeed, a special paragraph is
concocted. " Lord PALMERSTON knows me, and
when I affirm anything will believe me." To
which kind claim to personal acquaintance, and
the logical inference from it, we imagine Lord
PALMERSTON only replying—" llem !" After
recovering a little from his surprise, we may also
imagine our Premier beginning to mutter some-
thing about Savoy and Nice; and even " rags."
Oh, Savoy and Nice, rejoins the letter, that was
only an afterthought. I had, you know, renounced
them. But—but—they were essentially French
provinces—within our natural boUndaries that
is—and, then, without that protection, Piedmont,
strengthened by Tuscany and the Duchies, might
have overpowered France at any time, so I merely
took her Alpine fortresses into my own hand. That
is why, he might have added, I felt compelled
to make Europe suspect me as a liar and
a thief. Bat Lord PALMERSTON knows me.
He knows lam neither. " Let us, then, under-
stand one another in good faith like honest
men as we are, and not like thieves who desire to
cheat each other." What said " the eminent men
at the head of the English Government to these
plural and rce7crr,cl.l prmiouns " Us," " we,"

" one another"—" each other ?" We rather fanc-

gentlemen iu England are not accustomed to advert
to the possibility of their word or their integrity
being matter of doubt.. Yet somehow the origin

everywhere since the war in Italy"—and, he
should have added, since I told you that fib about
Savoy and NI •
ce. That, far more than the Italian
war was
the beimaing of the mistrust. Lord JOHN
ItussELL told him it must be so. For a war be-

which has shown that the old habit of taking in
