To make the record complete give below the remarks
of the French Emperor when the of the signing of the
respondent of the London Times:
He thanked the penpotentiares for having come in
to him with such agreeable dngs He observed that
the result Of their abors during the conferences
pete realization Of the speech delivered by Lord Clarendon
in the House Of Lords and that the peace which allies
were determined concluding which carried with
1t no humiliation to Russia and which did compromise
the dignity independence OF 1t was in fact such
rs great nation might propose accept without degrade
ton and it, therefore, had all the elements of sodity and
durability And be added, that favorable result was
in great measure owing the concaory spirit and the
moderst which marked the policy of England which
particularly felt in the OF the present confer
enees." q zks..
Until the whole treaty with its supplementary details is
given TO the public doubts will continue to exist on both
sides of the Lord Palmerstops
assurances to the contraryas whether Gthe objects for
which the undertaken have been fully accom-
psbed and whether the treaty will be deemed sstisc
tory by the people Of the governments who the
tracing parties.
The London Times devotes leader not 10 the treaty
but to hasty review Of the origin progress and results
OF the war in which there is reluctant admission that
England has out of the contest with her once high
military reputation sadly damaged. In Plutarchiun
STYLE the Times thus draws parallel between England
and France:
"When entered into the war we believed- We had
right to beevethat generals skul and
Prsng, and that costly military system often
empsscay honored with the appreciation Of the great
Duke Of Wellington, would be found equal every
gney These hauenations rapidly disspsted by the
progress OF the war and awoke to the melancholy
Veou that Of all those thing in which trusted nome
except The brilliant vaor and endurance Of army
worthy Of our confidence One legacy, therefore, that the
war has left US dsrust Of military system, and firm
determination to place that system ON footing which, II Il
not command success for may any rate
deserving II better for the future.
France on the other hand protng by the state Of
n preparation in which she has been living ever since the
peace OF 1885, has gorouy asserted her right TO be ranked
among the first of military nations, and acted in man
ner calculated to raise her reputation as great military
power and TO add pages to the long catalogue of the
ramph she has won by the skl OF Der officers and the
"'ined and organized enthusiasm Of her soldiers"
