The Anglo Gallican alliance. which has been grow
ing and gaining strength for the last fifteen years,
and which has now assumed the magnitude and i'm
portance ofa great fact is subject Of the highest
interest to other States, and to more SO than
,he Republic Of the West. By an alliance, do not
mean paper and parchment alliance, fabricated in
Downing street and in the Rue de Capucines; nor
political pact, formed by Sovereigns and their ga
tetesto consolidate their own power and strengthen
the hands OF despotsm. mean an alliance of two
great people, which has grown out of their COM
mon sympathies, and been cemented by their COM
mon interests. The burst of admiration and gene
rous sympathy with which the conduct and result Of
the revolution Of July was received by the English
people, and the reclamation with which it was hail
cd by the English press, was the commence ment of
that national amity between these countries, which
has happily displaced their ancient feeling of hos
tility, imagined to DO eternal Since 1880, multi
tde of causes have conspired to cherish the growth
Of that national friendship which is now so potent
to the world. The King OF the Barracades, long re-
sident during mis- exile in England, had formed Eng
lish habits, associations and friendships-had be-
intimately familiar with the working oil the in
stutions Of this countr-had seen the causes which
stimulated the increase Of her vast commerce, and
which augmented the resources of her unparalleled
manufactures; he had seen the seeds sown which
have since terminated and fructied in universal re-
hgious liberation, the spread of municipal institu.
tons, parliamentary reform, and at this moment, in
the glorious example Of the declaration Of freedom
Of commerce with the whole race of men, These
things profoundly impressed this astute monarch
with the policy OF exungulshng the spirit Of enmity
between the French and English nations, Of gradu-
ally and safely assimiating their institutions, and
Of laying the foundations OF great and permanent
alliance between them. His wise and prudent de-
signs have worked themselves to tulfilment
Every public event, on both sides Of the Chan
nell indicates very plainly how unpopular any mea-
sure would be which might have the remotest
tendency to disturb the present tranquility
ble increase OF favor which M. Guizot and his ca
binet command ia the chambers. To his supposed
leaning against England is to be ascrbed the vsibly
dimin,shed Influence Of M. Theirs. This states-
man has indeed been rendered sensible of his mis-
take, and has omitted no opportunity to explain
away his conduct and to assert and promulge his
desire to maintain the English alliance, far as 10
consistent with the independence of France; STILL
the French public have been rendered 80 sensitive
~ alive the magnitude OF the interests depending
ON peace, that they extended their countenance ri
ther to him whose declarations IN its favor are the
most unqualified and unequvoca nOt~ outstanding
the natural leaning which they have towards the
more demoeratc spirit which has characterized the
career OF NJ Theirs, compared with the prudent
consegvstam Of M. Guizot
Nor are similar manifestations of opinion want
ingbn THIS side OF the Channel. Remember how
the public mind was agitated when Lord Palmer
scn, four years ago, was supposed be 50 near en-
broihng the countries on the Syrian question The
alarm not less intense at that epoch in London
than in Paris. How deep and lasting the mpre ss,on
was has been lately rendered conspicuously appa-
rent IN the failure OF Lord John Russell to form a
cabinet, on the temporary resignation Of SIR Robert
Peel What was the cause OF that failure Was
it not the insurmountable objection OF one of the
most influential wing leaders, countenaaced, as Is
well known, by the tacit acquiescence Qfsevcral 9TH
er liberal members Of the party, against giving the
foreign department to Lord Palmerston from the
apprehension Of the possibility, however remote, Of
the disturbance OF the amlcable relations with
the shadow OF the shade OF danger of war with
France, was regarded in so serious lighs as to
break up the incipent liberal cabinet, and restore
the reins OF power to the tories Lord Aberdeen the
tory and conservative secretary for foreign sffalrs
ispreferred to Lord Pslmerton, the wing and radical
secretary for foreign affairs, simply because the pa
cine spirit Of the former sftords guaranty for the

LOUD protestations to the contrary Notwithstanding

fined to one side Of the Channel The prospect Of
the return OF Lord Palmerston to the Foreign Office

The ssgacious Louis Philippe expressed to the
British Ambassador the alarm, which in common
with the French public, was felt by the court Of the

deavors OF the two governments, TO bring into CO.
operation on every occasion which presents itself,
the armed f0rcee O the two nations. and how eagerly
every opportunity is seized tor the interchange OF ma
tional courtesies. In the affair of Rio de Ia Plata
small it Is, the British and French admirals range
their ships against a common enemy, and the sea-
men raise the same shout OF triumph and vie with
each other to secure the same glory. In the still
smaller affair Of Madagascar, we again find them
fighting side by side. ....s..41.
When the veteran Soult, the Irnpersonaton of the
French army, presented himself in London, az the
representative OF France at the coronation, he was
hailed with an enthusiasm such a. no foreigner
ever before excited. No demonstration OF respect
was thought too much to be avished on the hero of
an hundred fights, and the representative of the ma
