II has been long time since the British coat Of
arms has lost that strange beast, the unicorn, with
lis apocrypha! horns, by the usurpation Of another
animal, wearing aloft those preposterous ears.
which have now tor years become the appropriate
national emblems. Another beast has just dlsap-
peared from the rosal escutcheon- the British lion,
rampant, also has been supplanted by tiger After
all manner OF deceit practIsed upon the world, by
the English government at ConslantInople, and
the fleet, the character of that whole fasehood has
come to light. IL was not enough TO connive with
france, and TO prompt Russia and Austria IN their
outrages on Turkey and the refugees-It was not
enough TO abandon the provinces of Moldavia and
Wallachia to the Gar entirely; and with true
English discrimination to save from the great re-
publican wreck Of Hungary only the apostates who
compromised that sacred cause, from excess Ct

down the Sultan On the ground, tied hand and foot,

stIuction Of poor Ellen Bright, the other day, by

that the British hon Is dead and buried; or surely,
there could not have been such brutal attempt at

TO destroy London itself by bombardment.
Even Nelson and Copenhagen had to be outdone
by Parker and the Praeus, so as to show the great
Autocrat Of all the Russlas that England was
pledged, heart and SOUL 10 the approaching crusade
against The Liberties of Europe. The testimony
thus exacled has been cheerfully gwen; and IN the
Cause OF kings against the people, II Is now posi-
i've that the British government ready TO do the
part required OF the most vulgar executoner, by
bringing weakness, innocence, and the hottest as
rmorseiess axe The cid expedient, too, that
cut of the great w a!ace- treachery-has also been
rtsorted 10, tor the purpose of showing the Car
that the execfafed civilization which he breads, has
had no sotteniDg effect in the higher regions of
power here, monopolised by the oiigarchy. The
British fleet OF about LOCO guns, came in friend

house In oider tor festivities 10 his guests No
sooner at anchor, than this overwhelming force,
which was only crouching tor blow, sprung upon
its yicilm--the feeble, Insignificant Rursellng OF
Iheir Christian maJestles OF England, Russia and
France, born egan after the sleep Of ages as late
i'll the Christian era 1915, and was therefore
only thirty tive, and exceedingly puny for It's years.
The hesitation OF the British fleet for nearly three
months, TO assist at this execution, proves that
there was some feeling Of repugnance, even up to
the day OF the catastrophe; but it proves ALSO that
Nicholas Is imperative, and that his friends In
downing street are sold and transferred TO the In
iepal coalition, even on the very eve Of desolapg
Europe, after the lapse of the third of a century,
under the old missioner OF the Holy Alliance.

France and Europe, as well as in America, she
had expended In the twenty-five years preceding

millions of dolsrs-more than three tourths Of her
