There was no nation IN Europe who had not done
more than this England, al one time. contained
within her limits Louis Philippe, and the revoln-
lists whO had been driven from France. Exiled or
wandering princes and kings were continually TO
be found IN Europe, protected and maintalnet
BY the powers to whose territory they had fed. IL
was well known that all such persons were sup
ported by contributions from other kings and
governments and yet no one has ever thought
this conduct to be a cause for war. No man could

AUSTRIA and say they have violated the law OF ma

test against the conduc. of Russia and Austria IN
the most formal manner and condemn them for tee
violation Of the law OF nations without giving any
cause for war. Can " not, then pass TINS Tesoli-
ton But nothing waTlike would follow. No one
