INTO the ssnass Of the largest designs Of the great
powers, Il actively aiming for the anticipated ext
gsneies Of general sonvulsiou. But II remark
able, that in AL these warlike preparations, We do
teet NO symptoms of . struggle between the Euro
pean liberals and the dsspots-Ho signs Of impend-
ing barricades AID popular outbreaks. The rulers
of the continent appear to feel secure Of their sub
jests, but all Of them are, perhaps, suspicious of
the restless French army, and the imperial proceed
ipgs OF Louis Nspolesn.
In tho British Parliament, the move nent Of Lord
John Russell for the org anixaton Of tho militia,
herays with dstinc tness, tho secret
Of the alarm In that quarter. The British Cabinet
place NO reliance In the pacific professions Of the
French President. The very declarations Of his
peaceful disposition, seem to be regarded, on the
other hand, an I'D iitional cause Of distrust Ii
it be the design Of Louis Napoleon to make an 81
tempt upon England it is Of course, his policy to
keep his own eounsels, and to deceive the enemy by
every stratagem calculated TO quiet his suspicions
and lull him into security. Acting upon this con.
slusion, the British Premier is boldly urging the
necessity Of internal defence against the possibii
ties Of external copspirscies. Whatever tho danger
the security Of England may be against invasion,
the movement Of the Premier will no doubs
strengthen the existing ministry, and give basis
Of popularity which Russell has not heretofore on.
oyed, and the want Of which has seriously embaaas
ed his Administrative policy. But, lying deeper
than mere considerations Of local popularity, Is the
anifest apprehension Of national danger fro the
mysterious movements of Louis Napoleon, and
from the very general belief that employment and
glory to the French army will soon become lads
pensable to the safety Of the French dictator.
The English cabinet seem to entertain the sus-
picion, alec, that war against Engla upon any
pretext, would, moro than any other stroke Of po-
Icy, contribute to consolidate the government aad
the power Of Louis Napoleon amoag the French
people. Such appear to be the Causes Of the war
panic in England. They are vague and intangible.
but net without some show Of consistency and wise
dis oretion.
A late letter from the Paris correspondent Of the
London IimeS-which se re- publish in our columns
this morning-discloses, on the other hand, . new
and very significant cause Of pefpexity to the Pre-
sident Of France. The Emperor Nicholas has
thought proper to admonish "the nephew Of his
uncle" that he is going ahead little toe fast; and
that In reviving the national symbols Of the
Empire, he is treading upon dangerous ground.
Nicholas is dictator Of the Con .inentthas must be
understood. The symbols Of the Empire may re-.
quire the subjugating campaigns Of the Empire
the absorption Of Belgium, tho reduction Of the
Rhesish provinces, the annexation Of . portion Of
them, the occupation Of Italy, and the atoms
to general war, which may endaDger the safety Of
the frontier dominlons Of the Gar himself, and
destroy that equilibrium Of power on the Continent
of which, since the revolution of 1913, he has been
the arbiter lie also gives Louis Napoleon to IN
derstand that he is regarded as mere o;xm tenens
among the rulers Of Earope--thas he is not . ls-
climate among them, and is only to be tolerated
as . temporary necessity. The same objection 10
the great Emperor brought him finally do xn; and
Russia was a potent instrument in the work.
To this audacious advice OF the Gar, Louis Ma
poleon is reported as having replied with the
humility becoming neophyte among the despots.
His adoption Of the symbols Of the Empire is
matter Of the most perfect innocence. 1t is not
done to reestablsh the Empire. to dispute the
control Of European affairs with Nicholas, nor for
the re-estabshment Of dynasty heretofore reject.
ed by the legitimate powers, nor for the disturb.
ance Of the peace of Europe-no. at oil. 1t is
simply for the tranquility Of France. The imperial
emblems Of his un lie have alone the power Of qaiet
ing the traditional aspirations Of the French people.
They are only intended for Bsnoombe-nothing
more. This ought to be satisfactory to the auto
ciat. But his letter Of advice was written before
he could have received any information Of the
coniscation Of the Orleans property. How far
that act may a2pease the imperious Nicholas, has
yet to be ascertained. The correspondence, as dc.
tailed by the letter to the Times. certainly does not
promise an alliance betwesn France and Russia to
humble Grea. Britain. 1t is the reverse. Assun-
Ing the letter to be essentially true-And We have
ne reason 10 doubt 1.-THE probabilities of war
between France and England are overshadoued by
the groundwork for rapture between France on
the one side, and Russia and Austris on the o.hor
The emphatic tone OF the diplomatic note
frem s.. Petersburg vll warrant the conca-
Sion that the Emperor is not in the vein for admit
tirg any such thing as tie absorption Of Belgius,
or the full length boundary Of the Rhine, by
temporary substitute the ruler Of France, in the
place Of a regular Bourbon. The effect Of this
news in England had not .ranspired on the sailing
Of the franklin. i was, doubtless, received with
satLfas!ion, and May possibly lead to in por.ant
diplomatic inteIenangs5 between England aai
Russia.
