the breath. Price Is. 6d.—lted Bull Wharf, ej, Upper
Thames-street, London. The question of the Elbe Duchies arose. It was

- not for France to intervene directly. She only en-
tered [ into the matter to point out to the different
parties the dangers of pretensions which must lead
fatally to war, and to impress upon both sides the
councils of peace. The official documents published
within the last two years bear testimony to the
activity and zeal of the Emperor's Government to
spare Europe the too lamentable spectacle of a too
unequal war, with its vicissitudes and troubles.
Nevertheless, the cannon roared in the Duchies.
The numerous battalions of Austria and Prussia
gained a victory too easy to be very glorious. Now
we see the two great States divided by that victory,
and drawing Germany with them into an immense
and obstinate war, pregnant with disasters, and
animated by a fury greatly disproportionate to its
first cause. At the same time also Italy enters this
great conflict, bringing to it her passions, her hatred,
and her national aspirations, and casts herself
into it with all her strength. And yet, in view
of this crisis, Imperial France is found such
as she has always shown herself for the
last fifteen years, a friend of peace, soli-
citous for European interests, but calm, sure of
herself, and as far from jealous ambition or unre-
fleeting impetuosity. She has followed events,
without compromising herself. She has given
counsel to..- all parties without engagingh•herself .to
any. By everywhere recommending a policy of
moderation and disinterestedness she has herself
constantly afforded ari example. Finally, when the
Emperor's Government believed that it could unite
its efforts for the maintenance of peace with those
of England and Russia it decidedly assumed the
initiative of a collective step.
The principle of this step is admitted at London
and St. Petersburg as at Paris. Communications
are being exchanged between the three courts, in
order to determine its form and fix the moment
when it may be attempted. This concert of the
three great Powers in favour of peace is, under pre-
sent circumstances, an important fact. France will
not forget that the Emperor's Government has not
ceased, amid the various phases of a war crisis, to
preserve in equal degree her interests and her dig-
nity, to maintain her liberty of action, and, in fact,
to do her utmost in these conditions for the main-
tenance of peace.
