cause of the unexampled success which STAB

those painful and dangerous diseases of the bow

PARIS, Feb. 8, l854.-The political as
pect of affairs here is gloomy. By one par
ty it is thought that Russia will not risk a
war; by the other that war is inevitable
England exhibits great and natural reluc-
tance to Join the contest, and will do SO
only 10 protect her India possessions. A
five years war would so increase her debt
and cripple her commerce, that she would
be obliged to retire, disabled from the field.
Does Lord Aberdeen foresee the danger. and
does he know that the power of Great
Britain has departed forever? America
would profit by war. as commerce would
rest almost entirely in her hands.
The recent departure Of Prince Esterhazy,
the false Hungarian patriot, is regarded here
as showing that Austria still continues her
friendly relations with Russia but the Hun
garians and Italians will probably oblige her
to confne her operations to her own terri
tory.
In France, business is stagnant; the
curriers' are still without work, the price of
bread is still high, the Bourse is falling, and
rents are still rising. The greatest activity
prevails. however, in naval and military af-
fairs; 10000 men are ordered TO be ready
for embarkatlon for the East. Stores for
their support, and vessels for their convey
ance are all ready, and the Emperor is pre-
pairing everything for general war;
