We ,repeat,.that the combined iinerMrence of all Europe is
necessary to the pacification,. nat, the salvation; of Sprint. We
mean not the, intervention of arins,•nor that of arined men, lu-
dicrously. translated by tliuts and knaves as "• co-operation."
We repudiate the intervention of England and Fiance atone;
for that has been tried covertly and openly; it has been already
in the Opposite sense ,siffurded, without: effect,- and has tailed
without dignity. Inflaeace, individually and irmtallv, they
havelione—as accessaries they might swell the general voice,-
-and. aid beneficially in a corn-non object. The contagion of
anarchy touches. close upon. France; it cannot be without its
perils for Britain. Men, blind as ancient Cupid himself, can-
not noti• avoid. the conviction that the principles which abroad
we have helped to propagate, and at honie have favoured, Men-
ace.the safely of all institutions, undermine the stability (if ail
thrones, and jeopardise the very fraine-work of civilised society.
With the sentiment intuitive of danger-imminent, Louis Phil-
lippe has warily resolved to retrace his course—with the infattia-
lion of ignorance, we but the more doggedly per.seVere in
.ours.
He, -with the tact and the eye of a practised steersniati, deteCts
iu the speck of cloud the incipient tornado; and hastens to.
shOrten sail, and, under bare poles, to tide our its fury. The
raw landsman of Downiag-street,,ou the reverSeOin furls every
rag of canvass, and hoists his topgallants. The one is unswayed
by. favour, affection, or prejudice, individual or national, ex-
cepting of self and country. The other is a thidg inside up of
personal feelings, personal resentments, and personal antipa•
thies. Braved by 'Holland, he vents his paltry spleen upon Van
ZiMen—thwarted -by Russia, he insults Matusceviz—baulked
by France, he lavishes his Billingsgate abuse upon Louis Phil-
lipe. Against the empire he misrepresents, he-has arrayed the
outraged dignity, the exasperated feeling of all Europe, les's the
revolutionary "capacities" of Spain. • But he storing, and finites,
anti frets in vain. Louis Phillippe will not enter Spain for the
deliverance of colonel Evans, and the triumph of folly, and
Lord Palmerston—he will not dispatch his braves to find them-
selves dishonourable graves under the rani-parts of St. Sebastian
and in.the ruins of the Escurial. He has nut studied the tradi-
tions of his country to no purpoial if others have—he 'calla to
mind the memorable language. of the great Henry, hiS ancestor,
when.pressed to make an expedition equally perilous to the 011ie
quarter.- For
,the instruction of the descendant of a TeMple,
who.wsiuld have blushed to need it, we transcribe the words front
the ." Memoires de D'Aubigne," and commend theta to his "me-
ditations:—" sollicitais -fort au mon maitre" (Henry IV.)
"de tourner vers l'Espagne un ratnean ses dessehis, pour
l'assaillir dans le recur, taudis qu'on assaillarait de tour Antes
ses autres meinbres. A quoi ne voulut point attendee, fonde sur
ce vienx proverbe, qu'it me repetait sans cesse—que qui va foible
en Espagne y est battn, et que qui va fort y mewl, de faim."
The recent revolution in Portugal, where• the constitution and
the 'anarchy of 1821) have been proclaimed, in-imitation of their
fellow " capacities" over the herder, will but the more confirm
the French monarch in his calm and cautions resolves. If

strortg,er motives were wanting to determine his 'path, the Abbe
de Pra.ilt has furnished them in a brochure, recently published,
whose•curious facts he must have read, and reading, treasifred
up. They are thus embodied :

elaborate. review of the proceedingS Of "

tale under the title of " Adventures in the North of Ire-

and i; moreover, a very creditable and tFansb-
tion, closely approximatingto the beanty, and dignity of the
original. " Alcibiades the Man" is a soul-stirring com-
position., conveying much moral instruction. " The Evils
