es a most powerful influence over the
German Confederation, and keeps il
in obedience TO her policy. She holds
England at arms length, France in
contempt or hate, the Queen of Spain
IN adherence, and the King Of the
Belglans in execration. She con.
spires against the .younglQueen Of Por.
tugal--und she has for a long while
succeeded in preventing an under.
standing between France and the
Neapolltan Governments. She coun-
sells the Sultan Mahmoud to make
war on the Yiceroy of Egypt for the
tribute money--and on SYRIA for its
revolt-and has just offered $4,000
men TO the Ottoman Porte towards
recommending the Asiatic warfare.
Is that peacel No. Is it war; Not
precisely so-though very, very near
it, and It's therefore as lar as Russia
is concerned, we may say with truth,
" We have neither peace nor war;"
Look at France! shat a standing
army!-Three hundred thousand men
for what is called a 'peace establish
ment,' besides 100000 National
Guards under arms, yes constantly
under arms. And what navy! con-
stantIy increasing-greater this month
than it was last, and daily becoming
more and more formidable. France
has but one real ally in Europe: and
that ally is England. Russia is no
ally of France-nor are Prussia, Aus
tria, Holland, the German Confedcr-
alton. Switzerland, the German Kings
the Italian Princes, Turkey, Don Car
los, Sweden, Norway, Denmark or
the Hansc Towns. A portion Of
Spain is allied to France--and not a
very large portion however-for the
Carlists and Republicans are equally
averse to the French Government
France has no footing in Portug !.
England is once more mistress there.
There is little Belgium indeed, through
which Norman armies would gallop
without asking from the Rhine to
Valenciennes. France has no real
ally in Europe but England, g. Eng.
land would not fire gun in her de-.
fence. England is now allied to
France, because that alliance is in
dlspensabIe to preserve peace-~and
the British merchants and manufac-
turers will not hear of the word udr.
But is this peacel Is France admit
ted to the Conferences of the North.
ern Kingsl No. Is she admitted by
the Southern prlncesl No. DO not
the Kings Of the north and the South
meet together, make treaties, arrange
ments, and come to decisions without
even paying the formal compliment
to France to ask her representatives
to be PRESENT. Most certainly they
do. DO not the Kings Of Bavaria,
Holland, and even Wurtemberg, en-
courage the enemies of the rsvoIu-
ton Of 1880, and OF the present
French dynasty to inhabit their do
minions and get up petty conspiracles
against the new order of things es-
tablished 10 Francel The answer of
all this must be in the Affirmative.
And is this peace, or is it war; Why,
it is neither-and therefore it is as !
say, I'VE have neither peace nor
war;" In the old world, indeed, as
well as in the new, France appears
not very far from a war of some mag
nitude, for she threatens Switzerland
most bIusteringIy, and she has alrea-
dy on her hands wars with Mexico e.
Ruenos Ayres. BESIDES these con-
