with strong force, and hostile purpose there is
no doubt. There have been many and some con-
fcing statements, but l regard the question as
settled upon both points, and 1t has occasoned

France will act upon this contingency, Is more
than probable depending, of course, upon what
she ascertaips to be the sentiment of the eight to
welve millions of people whose territory has been in
Vaded, and perhaps the sentiments of the German
States This Russian movement will be felt, perhaps,

England will acquesce in it, will depend upon her
prospects for division of the benefits. This act of
