that the "Frsnch Macy and the French Army,

MANIPESTOES

There was time when Princes did not rea-
son or attempt TO reason. But "times is not
now what they use to was" if we may be al.
lowed to use the expression. To-day we give
the manifsstoes Of three several moDarchs, all
OF them evncing an effort at reasoning with The
people whose entire subsection they desire.
Reason is stubborn thing, but reason is fair.
These monarchs have heretofore appeared only
with arms in their hands. Now they come for
ward with arms and reasons too. Their people
have had reasons all the time, but not arms
Some of them now appear as armed men, pre-
pared to discuss reasons and measure arms
with their "God.preseryed" rulers.
