Judging from the printed accounts before

partial view OF the case. But We learn that
a passenger in tue Columbia, .who left Lon
don few hours later than any of our printed
dates, states that just before his departure,
he saw an Extra issued from the Office ofthe

AGAINST FRANCE There is no doubt
that the passenger alluded to saw an edition
Of the Courier, making this statement--pro-

for the Autocrat TO provide for the exigencies
for such a campaign as that must he against
France, and l.. form combinations with his
allies, and mature the 4eeessary plans. Pos
