COKING EVENT'S.

As to the Treaty, the shift which has occerred iiri
our attitude towards France will not affect it very
much. There may be a few persons who were not
persuaded of its incalculable mischief, and who may
perhaps be convinced by the last phase of the
alliance ; but the majority of the public have long
regarded it as the greatest state blunder of the age,
and a fresh illustration can but make them more
intimately acquainted with its actual and possible
consequences. All that can bo done is to take care
that Ministers are not guilty of any unprincipled
conciliation or friendly reaction for the sake of
gaining an advantage which either the letter of the
Treaty or the peculiar inclination of the French
Government does not accord us. An assent to the
document implied a considerable sacrifice on the
part of England, which has been justified upon the
plea that it is the destiny of this country to
lead the forlorn hope in the attack upon
the fortress of European protection ; and,
therefore, it will not be a surprise, though it
may be extremely irritating, to find that France
has advantages which will not fall in our way.
It is much better to bear with dignity and inde-
pendent spirit the misfortunes which Mr. Cobden
and the Government have brought upon us, than
to get rid of them by accepting graceful acts of
conciliation and liberal interpretations of unfair
clauses at the hands of the owner of Savoy. For
our part we believe that the Emperor of the French
will take the anger of England with perfect good
humour, and will volunteer a friendly development
of the Treaty as though nothing had happened.
He and his Ministers want a rest, and will take a
' nap after the Savoy business is settled ; it is, there-
fore, not to their interest to prolong an irritating
discussion with England. This policy, which is so
obviously on the side of the Imperial interests,
will admit of two other interpretations, either of
which will be current in certain political circles
here and in Europe. It will be intimated afresh
that the annexation of Savoy is eminently excep-
tional. The French Government will appeal to
the future (a court. which has the great advantage
in doubtful cases of not being in existence) in sup-
pni.t of its moderate views, and will, moreover, ex-
presS itself penetrated with the desire to be on
friendly terms with England, and to maintain
those frank reit;tions of which the Treaty is so sub-
stantial a guaranies. Another explanation will
be that France is tod powerful to be moved by the
anger or remonstrance of any power on earth, and
she therefore maintains lwr own policy, and a
haughty silence into the bargaLl•
It is most unlikely that the French Emperor will
not be moved by the moral resistance he is meeting
with from both the Ministers and the people of this
country, and that he will not do, in his on:i queer
way, all he can to p rev. nt France from being brcoght
into contact with an European combination ; but it a
false calculation of the cards which he handles with
some dexterity should launch him into collision with
o or three States, he would probably consider that
the honour of France, which would in such a case be
tantamount to his own interests, required that the
risk should be run and war declared. A great deal
of unnecessary praise has been lavished on the talents
and resources of Louis Napoleon. But granting that
such successes he has attained to could not have been
secured by a fool, it must be remembered that he
is placed outside the law of man, and apparently
has not been placed under the action of a higher
law. He is• not even actuated by the common
scruples of irresponsible sovereigns, and seems, in-
deed, to be amenable to no scruples of any kind,
while his whole mind is occupied in intriguing for
himself or for France. It would be strange, indeed,
if with these conditions a man did not make a show
of success and dazzle the world by a display of
power and. influence seldom seen. If the police of
the metropolis were to be quietly put out of the
way, and the householders of London were busy
looking after their own security, Bill Sykes and
his crew might for a night or two act the part of
Lord Mayor and aldermen with complete success,
and etlne at the Egyptian Hall in the greatest pos-
sible splendour. Such a game would be worth any
amount of candle. We should admire their courage
and audacity, but the " distrust" which their pro-
ceedings would create would be very great, and
might make the City members anxious to consoli-
date their connection with the respectable members
of society.—Morning 'Jerald.

NEW POSTAL SERVICE BETWEEN
LONDON AND PARIS.

The new postal arrangements between London
and Paris, via Dover and Calais, will come into
operation on and after the first May next, and-will
be carried out as follows :
Daily Service—Mail leaves London at 7 o'clock
aon., and arrives in Paris at 6 o'clock p:m.
Mail leaves Paris at 7 a.m., arrives in London
5.50 p.m.
Nightly Service—Mail leaves London at 8.30
p.m., arrives in Paris 7.45 a.m.
Mail leaves Paris 7.30 p.m., arrives in London
6 a.m.
One of the best steamers of the South-Eastern
Railway Company will continue the postal service
between Dover and Calais in the afternoon, in cor-
respondence with the trains for Paris, Brussels, and
Germany. In future passeng by way of Calais
will be relieved of the unpleasantness of being com-
pelled to land by small boats when the tide is low,
a beautiful little steamer will make the transit be-
tween the vessel in the roadstead and the port, and
vice versa. The new daily service will secure the
arrival in Paris every evening of the London morn-
ing papers of the current day. That is to say, so
far as distribution is concerned, 14 hours sooner
than at present.
It is probable that Brussels, Antwerp, &c., will
desire to avail themselv'es of this advantage, and
will require that their portions of the English
morning mail for Belgium shall be despatched by
way of Calais, instead of waiting till evening the
mail by way of Ostend.
