or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro the originals by the closest
observer; tney will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require toe extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication. _ _

Europe is freedom of alliances. All the great Powers
are restored to the plenitude of their independence,
to the proper development of their destinies.
Prussia enlarged, free henceforth in all solidarity,
assures the independence of Germany. France

should take no umbrage a 5 that. Proud of her ad-
mirable unity, of her indestructible nationality, she
ought not to oppose or to reject the work of assimi-
lation which has just been accomplished, nor to
subordinate to jealous fee:iagg.the principles of na-

tionality which she represents and professes in re-

spect of peoples. The national sentiment of Ger-
many being satisfied, her uneasiness is dissipated,
her enmities disappear. By imitating France she
has taken a step towards us and not from us. In
the south, Italy whose long bondage (servitude)
has not extinguished patriotism, is placed in posses-

sion of all her elements of national greatness. Her
existence profoundly modifies the political condition
of Europe; but, notwithstanding unreflecting sus-
ceptibilities or momentary injustice, her ideas, her

principles, her interests draw nearer to the nation
which has shed its blood to assist her in conquering
her independence.

" The interests of the Pontifical Throne are as-
sured by the Convention of the 15th of September.
That Convention will be loyally executed. In with-
drawing his troops from Rome the Emperor will
leave in their place as a guarantee for the security
of the Holy Father the protection of France.
" In the Baltic as in the Mediterranean are grow-
ing up navies of the second rank, which are favour-
able to the freedom of the seas.

" Austria, released from her German and Italian
tendencies, employing no longer her forces in barren

rivalries, but concentrating them on Eastern Europe,
still represents a Power with 35 millions of souls,
which no hostility nor interest separates from

France.

" By what singular reaction of the past upon the
future should public opinion see, not the allies, but
the enemies of France in those nations enfranchised
from a past which was hostile to us summoned to a
new life, governed by principles which are our own,
and animated by thosesentiments of progress which
are the peaceful bond of modern societies ?
" A Europe more strongly constituted, rendered
more homogeneous by more precise territorial divi-
sions, is a guarantee for the peace of the Continent,
and is neither a danger nor an injury"to our nation.
This nation with Algeria will shortly reckon more
than 40 millions of inhabitants ; Germany 37 mil-
lions, of which 29 millions are in the Northern Con-
federation and eight millions in the Southern Con-
federation ; Austria, 35 millions ; Italy, 26 millions ;
Spain, 18 millions. What is there in this distribu-
tion of European forces which can disquiet us?
" An irresistible power (can it be regretted ?) im-
pels peoples to unite themselves in great masses
by causing the disappearance of minor States.
This tendency arises from a desire to assure to the
general interests more efficacious securities. Per-
haps it may be inspired by a kind of providential
anticipation of the destinies of the world. While
the ancient populations of the Continent within
their restricted territories increase but slowly, Russia
and the United States of America may each before
another century has expired contain 100 millions of
inhabitants. Although the progress of these two
great empires cannot be to us a source of uneasi-
ness, and while, on the contrary, we applaud their
generous efforts on behalf of oppressed races, it is
proper that, with a wise foresight in respect of the
future, the nations of Central Europe should not re-
main parcelled out into so many different States,
withhout strength and without public spirit. Poli-
tical science should rise above the narrow and paltry
prejudices of a past age. The Emperor does not
believe that the greatness of one country depends
upon the weakening of neighbouring peoples, and
sees no real balance of power save in the satisfied
wishes of the nations of Europe. In that he fol-
lows his ancient convictions and the traditions of his
rot., Nnl-►nlnn+, T friracta nph n CrOCIL
now taking place upon the European Continent.
Ile planted the germs of new nationalities in the
Peninsula by creating the kingdom of Italy ; in
Germany by causing the disappearance of 253 inde-
pendent States.

"If these considerations are well-founded and
true, the Emperor was right in accepting the part
of mediator, which has not been devoid of glory, in
order to put an end to useless and lamentable
bloodshed, to moderate the victor by his friendly
intervention, to modify the consequences of re-
verses, to bring about, despite many obstacles, the
restoration of peace. He would, on the other hand,
have mistaken his great responsibility if, violating
a promised and proclaimed neutrality, he had rushed
suddenly into all the risks of a great war, one of
those wars which revive the hatreds of races, and
in which entire nations are engaged. What really
could have been the object of such a contest volun-
tarily entered upon with Prussia, and necessarily.
with Italy A conquest—a territorial aggrandise-
ment. But the Imperial Government has long since
applied its principles in respect to an extension of
territory. It understands—it has understood—
annexations dictated by an absolute necessity
uniting to the country populations having the same
customs, the same:national spirit as ourselves, and
it sought for the free consent of Savoy and the
county of Nice to the re-establishment of our
, national frontiers. France can only desire those
territorial aggrandisements which will not affect her
coherent power ; but she must always strive for
moral and political aggrandisement by employing
her influence for the great interests of civilisation.
"Her part is to cement the union between all the
Powers that desire at the same time to maintain
the principle of authority and to favour the cause
of progress. The alliance will take from revolution
the prestige which has been claimed for it of further-
ing the cause of freedom for the people, and will
preserve to great enlightened States the wise direc-
tion of the Democratic movement which manifests
itself throughout Europe.
" Nevertheless, there is in the emotion which has
been evoked in ,the country a legitimate sentiment
which it is right to acknowledge and to define. The
results of the last war contain a grave lesson, and one
which has cost nothing to the honour of our arms.
They point out to us the necessity, for the defence
of our territory, of perfecting without delay our
military organisation. The nation will not be want-
ing to this task, which can be a menace to no one ;
it has a just pride in the valour of its armies ; its
susceptibilities awakened by the recollections of its
military pomps, by the name and the acts of the
Sovereign who governs it, are but the expressions
of its energetic will to maintain against all attempts
its rank and its influence in the world.
" In short, from the elevated point of view from
which thelmperial Government regards the destinies
of Europe, the horizon appears to be cleared of all
menacing eventualities; formidable problems which
ought to have been resolved because they could not
be evaded pressed upon the destinies of populations;
they might have been imposed at a more inoppor-
tune period; they have received their natural solu-
tion without too violent shocks, and without the
dangerous co-operation of revolutionary passions.
A peace which reposes upon such bases will be a
durable peace.
" As to France, in whatever direction she looks,
she can perceive nothing which can impede ter pro-
gress or interrupt her prosperity. Preserving friendly
relations with all Powers, directed by a policy which
has generosity and moderation for its strength, re-
.
ling upon her imposing unity, with all her extended
y
her credit, which fertilise
genius, her treasures, and
1 Europe ; with her developed military forces, sur-
rounded henceforth by independent nations, she
will appear not less great, she will remain not less
1 respected.
" Such is the language which you must hold in
your communications with the Government to which
you are accredited. "Accept, &c.,
