THE SUM OF LORD JOHN'S SPEECH ON THE
AUSTRIAN TREATY.
(See Debate of Tuesday Night!

(FROM TIM PRESS.)
" Now, this I advance,
You may see at a glance,
That though England and Prance,
In a different zone,
Have no reason to fear,
Yet Vienna so near
Would look very queer
If the Russians came on.

" Yet for many a day,
Though so deep in the play,
Would not Austria say
To whose aid she would come.
But I'm glad that at last
Her dead silence has passed,
And her stake in she'll cast
With—l don't quite know whom.

" The treaty we planned,
That I hold in my hand,
Which, if I understand--

And I don't say I do—
Will bind her thus far,
That, should she go to war,
She'll fight us or the Czar,
But she won't fight the two
