BY all this ingenious network OF contrivance, the

in strict sympathy, Notwithstanding the materials
OF their power are SO adverse. Their objects are
the same. Their perils are the same. Their deg

to iraternal partnership, and for moment they
will cealesce successfully before they are both rent
into fragments by the indignation OF their victims,
assisted by glorious France.
Meanwhile, It ls curious to pursue the inclplent
career of the Thieves Alliance. France Is quito
broad awake to all their movements; but in Ame-

large armies of over 200 600 men, fully equlpt and

with her foot in the stirrup, TO meet England moro

In Europe. From first tolast England has stimula-

co-operatlon tor the Gar. Sir s. Canning, at Con-
stantAople, eagerly assists in robbing the ancient

rangement which brings Russia as far as tho
Danube, ON her way TO the Mediterranean, where she
intends TO arrive by another process OF spOliatlOn.
! The motive Of the robbers is explained in two
| words,-Russla can never be maratime power
| until she has sea coast on the Mediterranean.
With that footing she has everything else and Eng
land and she expect to sweep'he deep. As the mat
ter stands, France and America, (repulcanism,) can
overcome the allied fleets of England and Russia,
(despOtism) And it is no doubt to prepare for the
coming battle of these great principles that Turkey

despel ate game; but nothing can cope with such
frends as France and the United States, either by
sea or land. To proceed, the same diplomacy is
hindenng the democratic movement In Italy, with
out aiding Austria, and 1t Is battling Germany in

Chief Justice Wilde iooshly talked about at the
Old Bally, WIS An abdicatlOn by coercion, with
total change by the ope of the line of succession.
II Is useless to go further, however, to show that
a strict league and covenant are not only feasible,
but existing, between England and Russia. The
only question If, whether 1t will be resisted
by the British people The time was when such
a question could not properly be asked; but
of these islands are gone. Burke found that in his
day the chivary Of England had departed-"a
race OF economists and caculatOrs had succeed
ed" But even the ardent Imagination OF the
mighty llishman could not have realized the pre-
mt gnomihy OF his SUCCESSORS, almost IN the next
generation. They have retained the lowest quail
ties of human nature in pertection while the higher
are all In allegiance Indeed, you may almost fancy
you see in the gait and forms of Englishmen of the
present age, the performance Of appetite and
instinct.
1t is painful to think upon the downfall Of British
pride and energy, since the dlsarming OF the peo-
pie, the prevalent system of espoin9ge, and their
total deprivation, physical moral, and Intellectual
There were British heroes who tell at Waterloo,

men, till they are as harmless as the children OF
remotest islands. There is marvellous difference
betwe en- the ancient and the modern type OF Brtons-
They are not only not the same-they do not seem
to be related. There stands John Bull OF the 18th
century, with bis dewap to the ground andhs horns
abroad, full OF force and fury, but here most dis

who cannot kick with his hoofs nor push with his
horns, nor make noise enough for -fIsop's mas

But, to be serious if Englishmen do not speedl-
y.gve up this system of spiritual emasculatlon,
which Is now the fate of every child sent into
the British world, John Bull must be known here
after only as "Jackass.' l think it would be-
well enough to enforce the amendment OF his
policy by calling HIM, as other things are called,
by his night name. 1t is the province of the Herald
to decide upon the proposed alteration OF name and
