The Entente Cordiale
Are France and England SO long hereditary rivals and
enemies cordial friends this moment OF are they muu-
ally striving to deceive the world and each oiher While
the result of the conflict with Russia is doubtful necessity
may compel them TO act in concert in the attainment Of
common object but should they succeed in humbng the
Gar which is not very likely think the almost nsuperable
difficulty of adjusting the complicated and conflicting in
eress connected with what termed balance OF power
both in Europe and Asia WILL apprehend present almost
nsurmountable obstacles TO satisfactory adjustment
common apprehension Of Napoleon produced a common
action among the principal powers of Europe and mutual
fears of the Car the part of France and England may
temporary to keep them together Once
however relieved from their apprehension in that quarter
is it not extremely probable the force of long habit the
recollection Of ancient and recent injuries inflicted
and endured aided by those nveterate preudices which
always subsst between neghboring rival nations win
sumo their aseendency and overpower this newborn

share OF the glory and the spos2 and if otherwise will
they not mutually strive throw the shame each other
Individuals may forgive injuries nations Their
hatred is immortal and Deendo Cayago their maxim.
The Emperor Of The French
1t is not little curious observe how many opposite
ways there the thing One of the proessed OBJ
ecis in bestowing absolute power Louis Napoleon
protect the property Of the French nation from the in
roads of the socialists communists &c and yet the
Emperor has adopted of policy towards the work
ing classes of Paris which, extended to the whole nation
will last pretty much the thing In order
to give employment and adequate wages the artisans
and aboers of the capital he is putting down streets and
erecting palaces in them, the time projecting the
most extensive and costly undertakings ostensiby for the
purpose All the money thus expended for the bene-
fit Of the aboers and artisans of Paris from the
pockets of the of the people of France who
thus made contribute portion Of their earnings to in
the wages of others Is not this robbng honest
Peter give Paul? Is il long step towards social
ISM communism, &c, both in principle and practice
Nothing is wanting assmilae them thoroughly but APP
plying the system equally to every department of France
and every class of laborers Yet Louis Napoleon is En-
peror, aud Louis Blanc exile. " Truth is strange

The Position Of Spain7
have just read paper under this title which pnrpors
to be of the of official manifesto directed against
the United States. Whether buresque a forgery or
genuine State paper is somewhat doubtful though writ
in the spirit of Spanish gasconade At all events it
curiosity in its way 1t that "six months after
declaration of against the Uni'ed States Spain could
put less than thousand armed vessels of
every size and description Every year such vessels could
capture one-hird of the Of that nation 1t goes
on calculate it would be low figure to say that year
y the armed vessels of Spain could capture not less than
hundred millions of property under the federal flag
and that for one hundred years Ten thousand millions of
property would thus be gained the treasury of SPAIN
whereas the sixteen maritime States would withdraw from
the confederation risk Of union of States with
the specific agricultural system of cultivation with
freewsges aborers contracting to make indemnity and
secure the restoration of Cuba to SPAIN
This reminds me of Captain Bobadl in Ben Johnson's
"Every Man in his Humor" The Captain is exhibiting his
plan for annhilaiing any army
aWhy thus sir | would select nineteen more to myself
throughout the land gentlemen like myself who should
be Of good spirit strong and able constitution would
choose them by an instinct that have and would teach
these nineteen the special rules your pinto, your
verso your soccaa your imhocaa, your passada your
monIano till they would ali play very near altogether
as well as myself This donesay the enemy were forty
thousand strong--we twenty would into the field
about the 10th of March thereabeuts and would
challenge twenty of the enemywe would kill these
challenge twenty more kill these twenty more kill these
twenty more xiii these and thus would kill every
man his twenty day that's twenty score; twenty
that's hundred hundred day, five days thou
sand forty thousand forty times five, five times forty
two hundred days kill them all up by computation And
this will venture my poor genlleman-like to
perform provided there be NO treason pracsed upon
by fair and discreet manhood-hat is, civiy by the
sword"
