ion This situation so important for
two great nations--for England
risks her commerce in the East, and
France risks her honor and her life
this fearful situation how shall
we extricate ourselves from it,
France has way to deliver her.
SELF to shake off that Imperial
nightmare pressing upon her breast !;
to reascend to victory, to power, to
prominence, by liberty. England
has another: to finish where she
should have commenced no more
to strike the Gar on the heel Of his
boot, as she does now, but to strike
him to the heart that is to say, TO
revolutionize Poland. Here, in this
same place, precisely year ago to-
day, | gave this advice TO England,
You remember. On that occasion,
the journals which sustain the Eng
lish Cabinet styled me chimeri-
cal orator." and see how the event
confirms my words. War in the
Crimea makes the Gar smile, but
war in Poland would make him
tremble. But IL not war in Poland
a revolution Without Doubt
What matters that 10 England p
What matters It TO this old aud great
England She has no fear of revo-
lulions, because she has liberty
Yes; but NJ. BonaRarte, being des-
potism, fears them, as he will not
wish it. He will not wish it, SO,
then, ii is to Nj. Bonaparte and to
his personal fear Of revolutions that
England sacrifices her armies, her
fleet, her finances, her future well
fare, India, the East, all her inter-
ests. Was | wrong in saying, two
months ago, that the alliance of NJ.
Bonapar,e is not only moral low
ering of herself for England, but it
is also catastrophe
1t is the alliance Of NJ. Bonaparte
which, for a year, has made all the
English interests in the Eastern wal
take wrong direction. Without
the alliance of NJ. Bonaparie, Eng
land would not have a success il
Poland. instead of a check, aud per.
haps disaster, in the Crimea.
No matter; what is to come can
not be averted. Situations have
their logic, which always finish by
having the last word The war il
Poland, TO make use Of the transpa
rent phrase adopted by the English
Cabinet, a system Of aggression
purely continentaL is hencelorth in
evitable. Ii is the immediate fu
ture. At this moment in which
am speaking, Lord Palmerston i;
talking about il in The Tuilleries
with NJ. Bonaparte and, Citizens,
this shall be my last word, war i'll
poIand--yes, it is the revolution in
Europe.
All lot destiny be fulfilled ALI
let fatality rest on those men, on
those executioners, on those des-
pots, who have snatched their scep-
tres from so many noble nations !
say the scepire, and not the life
For, ExileS, it must be repeated un.
ceasingly to terrify the base, and ia
raise the courage Of others, the APP
parent death Of the nations, livid
though they may be, so frozen as
they seem, in an aratar, and con-
ceals the mystery Of new incar-
nation. Poland is in the Sepulchre,
but she has her clalion in her hand ;
Hungary is in her shroud, but she
clenches her sabre Italy is in the
tomb, but she has a fire at her heart
France is in the grave, but she has
star on her forehead. And all
signs announce to Us in the next
Spring--in the Spring-the hour
OF resurrection, as the morning is
the hour for waking. Friends, all
the earth shall be dazzled, and shall
tremble with joy, when rising sud
denly, all these great corpses shall
open their immense wings Hur-
IA for Poland ! Hurra for Univer-
sal Republicanism
