to embar.; in a crusade for the pacha of Egypt,
against all the other powers Of Europe. All
these things look to peace.
The great danger, however, to the peace Of
the world, is the uneasy condition ofthe French
people. NJ. Theirs has stirred UP all the warlike
of that or,,bit;oue nd brh cnrit al poonlc
and he gees out of power, the seeming victim Of
British policy, while the Soult-Guzot ministry
come in as the friends of peace-the friends
Of concord al ami,y with their hated neigh
bors over The English channel. Hence the new
ministry is denounced by the Partisan press as
the enemies of their country, and the well-earn-
ed eulogums the British press have passed upon
the learning and wisdom of NJ. Guzot are re-
presented but as the culognms of an enemy
upon one of their own men, and this, too, not
withstan,ing that Marshall Soult is in the same
category, about whose ears British bullets have
so often ,;hisled. that he should hardly be sus
pccted Of being corrupted by British gold.
But we may hope for peace and better rela
tons between France ard England by the yer,
change o! ministry. As long as NJ. Theirs was
a, the head of Foreign Affairs, he was com
mttcd in his violent and revolutionary measures
that it was not only difficult for him to retreat
but quite impossible for the British government
to approach him with conciliatory measures. Z
change Of ministry, with NJ. Guizot at the heat
Of Fore ign Affairs, introduces new man to TIT
British Cabinet, who has nothing to take back
and whom the British Cabinet can approach il
more conciliatory language.
