free and under the sceptre of 2 national Mon arch, we have no more to fear from Russian in- triguc than Russian Power. It's present object will be to weaken the sympathy which exists between Trance and England, and to destroy the natural alliance between two people who have chosen their own Soyereigns, and who both live under representative government. No doubt this harmony, founded on such pow erIul motive, must be annoying to Russia.

Marshal Soult has been Minister Of War for fifteen days; and in that period the material of all army 50,O00 strong, Is almost completed, 40, 0OO horses will shortly be purchased. gy the Ist of Jan. all those military preparations will be furnished and two months will suffice to place our army on footing to be able to meet any attack which should be made against the nation.

In other respects the chance of peace is not extinct; both the one and the other desire it. But what is fortunate is, that when people argue after being armed, they come to q decision without having recourse 10 the sword, h order to determine points which they feel too strong to give up amicably.
