other directions. II is very apparent, that in the
present alliance of France, and the idea OF firm
union between them in regard TO future objects,
England feels degree OF strength, and has as
sumed boldness of tone long unusual with her.
How far France will go with her, is to be seen. At
present, the best spirit seems to prevail between
them. France has TO hesitate at any revival
of the theories so long and stubbomly resisted by
her. but should the condition Of the cause seem TO
require their revival Napoleon win certainly not OBJ
ject. The air Of the old enemies has rather too
strong odor Of invincibility, against all possible
contingencies, to assume perfectly cautious policy
on their part. Should they quarrel, and become
antagonists again in the midst of the war; or renew
the old strife at its conclusion partial return 10
the old grounds of controversy seems inevitable.
Nations at all times study their own interest, in-
stead Of the welfare of Others and never is this prn-
ciple active of course, with those in beliger-
