gland this war is decidedly unpopular. With the
French bourgeosie il was so from the beginning, BE-
cause this class was ever since the I'd of Deccm-
Der in full opposition against the government of
the Savior of society" In England, the middle
class was divided. The great bulk had trans
feIed their nation al hatred from the French TO
the Russians; and although John Bull can do a
little annexation business himself now and then in
India, he has 10 idea of allowing other people to
do the same in other peigbborhoOds in an uncom-
Portable proximity TO himself or his possessions.
Russia was the country which in this respect had
long since attracted bis anxious notice. The
increasing British trade to the Leyant,
and through TrebizODde to Inner ASIA makes
the free navigation of the Dardanelles point OF
tie highest importance to England. The growing
value of the DaIubian countries as granares for
bids Englandt to allow their gradual absorption into
Russia, and tie closing oithe navigation Ofthe Dan

and an annexation of the corn-prOducing frontier
countries by Russia would make Great Britain en-
tirely dependent upon her and the United states
" lille it would establish the,e two countries as the
re gulaiOrs of the corn-market Of the world. Be-
sides, there are always some vague and alarming
rumors afoat about Russian progress in Central
Asia. cot up by interested indian politicians or
terrified Missionaries, and credited by the general
geographical ignorance of the British public.
Thus when Russia began her aggression upon
! uIkey, Che national hatred broke forth in
blaze, and never, perhaps, Was war as popular
az this. The peace party was for moment inter-
dcted from speaking; even the mass OF Its own
menitcrs went along with the popular current.
Whoever knew the character of the English
must have felt certain that this warlike enthusl-
asm could be but of short duration, at least so far
as the middle class was concerned; as soon as the
effects of the war should become taxable upon
their pockets, mercantile sense was sure to over
come national pride, and the loss OF immediate
individual profits was ture to outweigh the GER
tainty OF losing, gradually great national adyan-
tages. The Feelites. adverse u the war, not so
much out Of real love of peace, as from mar
rowness and timidity of mind which holds IN horror
all great crises and all decisive action did their
best to hasten the great moment when every
British merchant and manufacturer could calcu-
late to farthing what the war would cost him,
per annum. Mr.. Gladstone, scOrn-
ing tie vulgar idea Of loan, ut once doubled the
incCmetax ard stopped financial reform. The
result came to light at once. The peace-party
raised their heads again. John Bright dared
popular f. ling with his own well-known spirit
and tenscity, until he succeeded in bringing the
manufacturing districts round to him. In London
the feeling is still more in favor OF the war, but
the progress OF the peace. party is visible, even
here; besides, it must be recolected that the
peace-sOcieiy never, at any time, commanded any
mentionable influence in the capital. It's agita-
ton, however, is increasing in all parts OF the
country, and another year of doubled taxation,
with loan for this is now considered to be IN
ayoidable-will break down whatever il left of
warlike spirH among the manufacturing ard trad
ing classes.
With the mass of the people in both countries,
the case is entirely different. The peasantry 10
