@The following extract from Louis Narc
Icons explanation of the last years cainpaig
against Russia, and of the plans and expsc
tations of the allies for the future, shows hoy
dangerous it is to undertake to popularise an,
expose the schemes Of a government whili
it is yet at war, and it may be, not far from
the perilous extremities
"But a great result is acquired alrcair
from the very fact Of these negotiations

In acting thus. they have not only given

wisdom, and which will be approved by pub-
lie opinion"
From this extract, which is eminentlv frank.
we learn tha sthe allies in entering upon the
Vienna Conf sence, and in fixing upon their
own ultimatum OF IliDimum Of concession
which they would accept from Russia, conf
dently counted upon the concurrence Of Aus
tria. Thus confident. Louis Napoleon, IN the
extract given above. declares that the confer
ence must end advaigeously to the Allies,
for IL peace was not obtained or the terms de-
manded, then war would bs prosecuted ly
them against Russia, with the great advan-
tage of the aid Of Austria and that with such
a powerful combination against her, Russia
must succumb. 1t Is upon this view of the
state Of affairs tina; the cause of the Allies is
held up in the exposition as promising the
most satisfactory results. Notwithstanding the
late disasters.
But, most unhappily for all these cosy cal
culations of the parvenu Emperors, it turns
out that Austria does not concur in the uld-
matum of France and England, aud that she
will not, therefore, jnin in the war against
Russia to compel its adoption. Thus the
manifesto Of Napoleon, which, under his
loud anticipations of the aid Of Austria, APP
peared 50 promising in his own eyes and
which was doubtless most joyfuliy hailed by
his people, turns out to be, under the fact Of
Austria's refusal to join the Allies, real con-
fession of weakness and embarrassment. The
whole scope of this part of the manifes-
to, Is to show how strong the Allies would be
when aided by the immense forces of Aus
tria. The Inevitable deduction is, that with.
out that aid they have nothing 10 boast Of
ard no case upon which they can rest con
fident appeal to the people Of the two na
tons for the prosecution of hostilities.
