MODS that England never broke treaty-and this in
pudent fsehood actually echosd ON tb,. ,ds ~ thu

miserably syoophsntc to call II In question No single
power in Europe deny that has broken again and
again. every single treaty 1t has ever made In fact M
European power has regarded treaty which Il Wa
Its interest to violate, when In position 70 dis
regard It, The larger states have done without even
spscious apology for their conduct. The smaller Ones
with the best inclination have not the power TO be sy
tematicaly psrAdious But 1t is notorious fact that
no European power strong enough to uphold ITSELF has
ever regarded treaty when It stood In the way Of is
sggrandizsmsut.
To pass the numerous breaches Of faith on the
part Of European soversgns before the present century
II curious To mark the history Ct the Congress Of visn
which signed the 9th OF June, 1918, by tho
representatives Of Austria Great Britain, Prussia Rus
sa, France, Spain, Portugal and Sweden Each State
helped itself psntifuy from the possessions of the
several smaller powers Russia got the greater part

rapacity Of the royal free hooters by salts
fed The limits which they themselves agreed to put
to their encroaohmsnts they have, in numberOss In
stances nfrnged upon. and asked In the language Of
Milton,
Why hast thou, satan, broke the bounds prescribed
to thy transgrtssionsl '
they will in the words of Lord John Russell with
unblushing errontery ws have broken treaty"
The political system sought to be established by the
Congress Of Vienna has been often trenohed upon,
that 1t may be regarded entirely broken down
The navigation of the Rhine declared to be free,
and yet It net until the year 1884, and after hve
hundred and siry protocols had been drawn up
on the subject, that II at length actually
made free The navigation Of the Danube declared
Free but the trade Of that river has been crsmped by
the severest restrictions the part Of Austrs Holland
and Belgium declared to be kingdom aud yet
Belgium has since been suffered to be erected into seps
rate monarchy The treaty has since been violated by
extinction Of the Kingdom Of Poland by the decree
OF the German diet Of ls32by which Prussia and Aus
tria have assumed oonr OF the other states-by the
aunhilatiou OF the liberties Of Cracow; and lastly, BY
the forcibs occupation Of Ferrars by the Austrian
| troops.
Section los Of the treaty gives Austria the right Of
garrison in the citades Of Ferrsra and Csmmachio--

achio The act Of Austria, in entering the town Of
Ferrsra with troops of artillery and infantry with bayo
fixed and matches lighted is in direct violation Of
this article OF the treaty.
1t Is not Englsnds interest to permit this violation
and therefore 1t may be that she will interfere At evsy
former violation, she has dsgracefuly oonnived At
Poands death struggle, she stood unmoved though to
have lifted up her hand might have warded Oh that NJ
fated nations doom. She protested against the annhi
lation Of Craoows freedom knowing that her protest
would be Of avail She may interfere in support Of
the Pope, because she expects much from the i'm
pulse given In the States Of the church.
But whatever be her motives II she interfere to
Rome the whitening despotim Of Austria abe Will
