THE POLICY OF TIE ACE.

I've dip again into the columns Of the Courier
les Els Uuis for some reflections which strike
Is as emnently Just, and which have manifest
bearing on the prominent questions mooied at
time IN connection with the probable future re.
lations Of France, England and our own country.
We may add, though II can scarcely be required
for the Information of our readers-ihat the
views expressed by the acute French journalist
are very much TIE same with those that have
pervaded all our speeuailons on The probable
policy OF the powers across the water.
After adver,ng 10 the supremacy ofcommer.
eial interests in England, and their controlling
influence on the policy OF the government, the
Courier goes on TO say:
"These considerations are as jlstly applicable
to France and indeed TO Europe as they are to
En- land. Everywhere the reign Of commercial
and manufacturing interests has succeeded TO
the sway of political passions. There are no
more ToyaIists and republicans in France-no
more Iegitmsts and Phillippsts-ihere are
men who have and men who have not, and conse-
quen'ly men who wish TO preserve and men who
wish 10 change The existing order OF things.
| political questions, which are mostly but on
points of form, have disappeared since the uprl.
sing Of social questions, affecting, mol the outside
merely but the very life OF humanity. Thus do
YOU understand why the Government o. July IL
sustained in France, on all occasions, by the vast
majority of the population? Do you imagine
that it is because the majority is always, and at
all points, of one mind with the Governments
