While such is the belief in Rus'is, the cen
summation Of Englsnd's humiliation appears
foreshsdowed In the rumor which announces
Louis NspoleCn's intention to take the command
Of the army in the East. Indeed, we can hardly

pounds In addition 70 this loan, those little lax
uIes which peace has made q necessity to the
people, are burdened with heavy and oppressive

created fifty years ago, aristocrstic imbe;lity
is creating now. The sweat Of the work

This position Of mere tool TO Louis Napoleon,
into which England is hourly drifting, when tax

statesmen, "a war which was not at its begin

tons and more material pressures will, ere long,
cover this war with an odiun which will extend
TO Lord Pslmerston aud his Cabinet and change
the shout which welcomed Napoleon into note
Of more lUgubrious tone. That mock herosm
which would make this war one for freedom, the
Napoleon, has leng since dashed to shivers.
Neither can the suferings and heroism Of the SOL
