can pledges, 10 fcmoye all the PFe1adiees when
may mutually exist between Gun ne'ghpofs ana our

This course, however painful il may be, is inn
posed ON us by the law of nations well rs BY
1 our historical remembmnces. DO you know What
/ Il was which most served 10 initiate France, and
estrange her from England during the FIRST Repub-
Lief 4 was the civil war in portion OF our terri
tory supported subsidized and assisted by MI
| Pit. II was the encouragement, and the arms
given 70 Frenchmen as heroieal as yourselves, bai
Frenehmen fighting against their fellow-citizens
| This was not honorable warfare. Twas q royaiisi
/ propagandism waged with French blood against
the Republic. This policy is not yet in spite OF AL
| our efforts, entirely effaeed from the memory OF
the nation. Well, this cause OF dlsanlon between
Great Britain and US, we will never renew by Ia
| king any similar course. We accept with grail
Jude expressions of friendship from the dlfieIent
/ laionalities included in the British Empire. We
ardently wish thar Justice may be found and
strengthen the friendship OF races, that eqnelliy
may become more and more basis. But while

with ALL the holy dogma of fraternity, we viii per-
form only acts OF brotherhood IN conformity with
our principles and our feeling toward the Irish ma

answers this nobly and srell. Hear him;
'.It is of course the interest Of the anstocTaey
of this country 10 abuse and calamniate the
French Republic: TO oriticise with hard and
gnldgng spIrit its noblest efforts Tor the Tedemp-
ton Of a country--sacnfeed BY the enpidity Of a
royal HARPAsoss--eyen 10 turn the constitution
al temperament Of its people into laughter and
contempt. Make the Republic infamous; at all
Ievents, make il ridiculous-cnes the anstocracy
of England; for would il not be a mockery-a
fatal mOckery Of the condition Of Englsnd, we've q
Government 10 exist within two hours sail OF this
Icountry with no sinecuTes; no uneamed pen
SONS; no nominal duties paid for at costhesi
pnce: in a word, no selhshnessof taxation shirk-
ing the load from the stronger back 10 place Il
upon the weaker; no test Of property as test oi
political knowledge-a man beng permitted u
vote by his convictions, and not by his shlllingsl
; In the existence Ut so monstr0us Government
so near 10 England there is vial danger to the
pensiones, the sinecurists, and the injustice OF
limited franchise.
\ Even the stoutest sticklers for the good old
abuses Of our social and political condition were
kindled intoenthusiasm BY The outburst Of French
liberty. Their better feeling surprised them into
admiration and sympathy. They acknowledged
the holiness of the cause, and reoiced at its sue
IceSs. How few have been the shortcomings d
the Provisional Government With what serene
power has LAMARrTsK piloted the ship-be IL re-
membered, still under jury masts-beset BY TOcks
and sands; and We are to look coldly nom the
safety Of the shore; c0ntemptuOusly, sneenngly;

aboard; there Is great wisdom, n0blest human
purpose: but-but the ship has not the royal
standard at the masthead. Once again, run up

King LABoUR, would at tins moment have in

human liberty; and now, JoHs, you sheer at the
blow: foolishly sneer, fogetfnl that that blow

Bat. after all, the great question Is, viii there
be revelation in Great BritainP Yes, say the
press generally. Yes, say many thinking men.
Well, we shall not discuss the matter We
think bloodshed will be avoided. But il Is evil

One Of the best Of English Observer writes:
at is difficult TO describe with accuracy the
