Russia alone can guarantee Hungary to her,
and the strengthening of Russia in the Danu-
bian Provinces, adds greatly to the surety of
that guarantee. Hence the Cars declaration
that there is . re feet accord between Francis
Joseph and himself in this matter. But to,
return to England Nicholas brings on the
war nor, to punish the English people for
encouraging, and the English government for
permitting, the gross, untrue, and really un-
justifiable abuse of him personally, with which
the English press have groaned of late years. .

that he can make them not only over. on the

will use them against England, wherever, it
may be his interest SO to do, and only so far.
Spain, too, is in a singular condition We
may expect to hear Of strange doings in that
quarter ere long among them being break
with England and France. The Queen-mother

Icons schemes is to dethrone- all the Bourbons
now reigning anywhere, and they arc casting
around to secure their power against such
alleged intrigues of the French Emperor.
They have deep-seated grievance against
| England also, which, as yet, has been but
| little commented on by the newspapers Thus,
| Isabella has been treated by them as they
| treat Nicholas. They accuse her of being the
| loosest woman in her morals in all Europe
For the last three or four years, every month

| piece of personal scandal against her, to be
blazoned forth in English newspapers
| So far, nothing Of the sort has been Proved
! These stories, though simple allegations with
out proof have ruined Ler reputation, as it
were, and are said to have filled her breast
with very natural intense personal hatred of
the English Her minister, not long since,
privately withdrew from London, on account
Of the failure of the Government to put stop
to such publications against his Queen.
| Now, when England and France become
seriously involved in war with Russia, it is not
unreasonable to calculate that Isabella may
probably also essay to punish England for
these attacks on her private character, and at
the same time to tLwart the dreaded Interior
nti-Bourbon designs of Louis Napoleon. Her
means are quasi alliance with Russia, and a
sale of Cuba to us. She can greatly aid Rus
STA in dethroning Louis Napoleon, which is his
plan for preventing Louis Napoleons gratui-
tous intermeddling in Eastern affairs, while
she can not only punish England for her libels
but can replenish her exhausted treasury by
selling Cuba to us.

We repeat, we are on the eve of great events

Is currently stated among the European di plo
matsts in Washington, that the English Min
Ister on Foreign Affairs has declared that the
entente cordiaie between his Government and
France concerning American affairs. about
which so much was not long since published
in this country, has reference only to the La

Mexican affairs. We presume that if this i:

the fact it will not be long before our owr
Government will receive official intelligence OF

also said in diplomatic circles, that the speech
of General Cass with reference to the entieutt
cOrdtaie caused the disavowal of the English
Minister to which we refer above
Tie Treaty with Mexico.-We understand
that the Senate will probably decide, in Exec
utive session, to day, upon the ratification OF
rejection of his treaty. to which the most siren
aous and violent opposition has been made in
certain quarters from different motives, as we
have heretofore explained. We presume that

ment Of Mexico it is believed, will promptly
assent; the treaty viii be adopted though il
such is the result, the final vote in its favor
will probably not be more than one or two

two-thirds. Gen. Gadsden deserves no little

honesty displayed by him in this negotiation

his skill and ability. Nevertheless he has
been grossly assailed by the same influences
