POLITICAL SPECULATION.

The intelligence of the week, from
the quarter on which all interest and
expectation are fixed, are not yet of
the decided character which might
have been expected. The dreadful
game is not yet begun. One London
paper, indeed, of responsibility, asserts
that the French army have actually
broken up their posts, and are in full
march into the hostile territory, and
that our government has received the
official declaration of war OF France,
and her manifesto on entering the enc
my's country; but as this intelligence
has not been confirmed by the other
journals of more authoritative charac-
ter, we cannot venture to place reliance
upon it. Certain it is, however, that
the wide circle of preparatory circum-
stance has now SO nearly narrowed it.
self into the point of action, that we
may anticipate almost with the certain
ty and precision of actual observation.
The above intelligence, though probably
not true, yet, substantially, is, neverthe-
less, it may be presumed, the shadow
thrown by the coming event; a true
though indistinct image of the tagging
form.
We have spoken above Of this con-
test as a game: it is an image which
appears to US to characterize it with
peculiar truth and force not, however,
a game of skill, but of hazard France
seems to be adventuring with the des-
peration of a dicer-without internal
concord, with unstable institutions, an
unquiet, disafected plotting population.
she undertakes to compose the turbu.
lence of her neighbour, to restore and
establish her institutions, to give heI
union, strength and peace. What q
game is this
1t may be that the very act of con
tending against popular principles may
strengthen the hands of the government
The French people, though in the alb
stract they may disapprove the princi
pies OF the war at its commencement
will yet scarcely fail to feel an interes
in the too probable success Of their ar
mics. Ideas of warlike triumph, which
they have long been accustomed tt
cherish with fondness, may, in the pro
gress of the war, efface from theil
minds the feelings of dislike and disap
probation with which they entered sp
on it, and thus the temper of the people
may be seduced by the reiteration O.
those sounds, TO which they were won
to lend their charmed ear, into cordia
and hearty sympathy with the govern
ment under which they triumph or,
1t may be that the active elements o
popular conAagration, in peace HEX
fast by the strong arm of present mil
itary force, may, in the hustle of war
fare, and the distant occupation of the
armies, and agitated by the popular
Glamour against the expense of an I'M
just war, burst forth, to the subversior
OF the unsteady institutions, and the re-
newal of the reign Of popular confusion
This is the alternative-th Danger
Gus game which France is playing. =
