former country never lost sight Of the advantages
that might accrue to herself by securing firm al
lance with Spain, land which, although now
debased and sunken by internal dissensons and
il-advised rulers, would, under control such as
England would find for her, take her stand again
as great maritime and commercial nation but
the Coourg reputation for afording able hus-
bands, although backed by the whole influence
oithe English cabinet and English agents, availed
NOT against the shrewd policy of Louis PHILIPPE.
'han whom more willy politician never existed,
nor even excepting Cardinal Kicheeu The
french policy has succeeded; the Coburx candi-
GATE is still In the matrimonial market, and other
suffers lose sight Of their own defeat in Witnessing
the defeat OF England. The Due do Montpensier
returns thanks for a brunette wife and a rich
dowry.
The Times newspaper overruns with threats
OF vengeance, and the ministerial organs of
France throw of all DISCUSSES, talk of coalitions
ana declare that all the continent of Europe, with
the United States, are the natural enemies of
England.
What will be the event of this new stir in the
cauldron, is at present not very clear. What will
rise 10 the top-what will remain at the bottom
and what will be thrown away as scum, is not
yet to be foreseen; but, perhaps, our next
advices will give us farther light That there will
be any war, for some years to come, we do net
beleve-at least, not so long as the King
Of France can. by his subtle policy, ward it
of; and though, with his usual foresight, he is
prepared for Punishment, reinforcement, or death

The French papers speak OF a tri-union of
strength by land and sea of the three great
powers OF France, Russia, and the United Statss;
Of course Spain would be with them On the
other hand, our own country has gradually been
approaching, for years, nearer and nearer to
England in friendly relations, and much ill feel
ing has arisen between her and France; and Rus
STA may for snce keep her pledges, and falling
back upon the treaty of Utrecht, besides giving
way to her anti-Catholic predictions, be found
also arrayed against Franco. 1t would certainly
be great and strange revolution from the days
OF Napoleon, were England and the United
States to be found ranged against France and
Spain. Perhaps another fifty years would see
Spain and our country, under the stars and
stripes, joined to the coors of Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, warning against France and England. In.
deed, there is as much probability of the one as
the other.
The age is too far advanced for enlightened
nations to initiate against their own interests by
the use of fire and sword among themselves.
Safety valves are found for the escape ofmi ary
enthusiasm in foreign conquests. India, the Pa
ciic Islands, Algiers, and Mexico, will draw God
from the three great powers of the earth, fiji
