France grows impatient Of The yoke II tbs army,
the army wakes boher in is purpose Of yokug
Bonaparte. After the i0;h of December, Bona

tAe pea aniry that 49, the mass of The French naoa.
Since the attempt Of the l4tb January, be knows
that be ~ at the mercy OF the army. Having been
compelled TO a,ow that he rules through the army,
is Quite natural that the latter should seeh 10 rule
through him.
The pareelinc ont Of France into five pashalics,
therefore, but preceded the installation of Espin-
ssse az Minister of the Interior. The latter step
Was followed by making over the police of Paris Ia
d. BOitelle who WAS non commissioned officer
10 1880, serving with NJ. de Persigny N the same
regiment at La Fere and trying, when the revclu-
ton Of July broke ont, to make his comra les cry
"Vive Napoleon H." The glorifcatlOn OF Boitelle
n backed by the nomination Of Pelissier Due de
MaskoA, as bis Imperial MaiestyS representative
st the Court of 81. James,. This appointment
means hattery TO the army and menace 10 Eng
hand. 1t il true that the MOniteur pretends to turn
into acompliment to John Bull, but Veuillot Of the
UsrsrS, who is known TO have his petfeS and gran
des entrees at the Tueres, fOreshadOwed the event
fierce article containing this significant phrase:
1.-The pride of England is wounded. The wound il
can old one The wound was inflicted in the Cri-
"mea at the Alma at InkermanD, at the Motaho6,
"everywhere where the French were the frs. at
"the field and penetrated the deepest into the enc
"my's ranks. 81. Armand, Bosquet, Canrobert,
"Pelissier, HcMahOn-these are the men who
"wounded the pride of England" In one word,
Napoleon Ill. has sent his Menchikoff TO London,
Of whom by-the-by he il rather glad TO get rid for
time, since Pelissier has taken up the attitude of
n frOndeur from the moment his appointment az
Commander Chief of the five pashalics was re-
scnded The Paris BOurse, on the news becOm
ng known, went down at once.
Peiisser has more than one grudge to avenge upon
England. In ls42, before his electors at TivertOn,
Palnerston publicly branded him as a monster, and
gave the signal 10 his general abuse by the London
Press. After the Crnean campaigu General De
Lacy Evans, in the House of Commons, more than
limited at Pelissier the principal cause of the dis
grace that had befallen the English army before
SeyastOpol lie WAS also roughly handled by the
British Press, expatiating upon the intmatlons of
Gen. Evans Lastly at banquet given to the Crmean
Generals, Pelissier simply appropriated the whole
Crmean glory, such as it is, tOthe eagiesof France,
not even cOndescending 10 recOlect John Bulls co.
operation. Again, the London Press, by way of
reprisal, dissected Pelssier Moreover, his temper
known To unfit him altogether for the part OF that
NEUROLOGICAL Greek parsonage who alone was able
TO heal the wounds it had inflicted. Still We cannot
ahare the opinion of those London papers which,
working themselves up to Roman state of mind,
warn the COnsus to take care "Rc 6SpnJttcd detrt-
.senii capiat" Pelissier means intimidation, but he
does not mean war. This appointment is a mere
sOspe dc h(dtre.
The broad ditch that separates perfde 3bion
from Ia belle France is her Lacus Curtius, but
Benaparte is not the romantic youth to close the
yawning chasm by plunging himself into the gulph,
and disappearing. OF all men in Europe, he knows
best that bis ra tenure of power hinges upon the
alliance with England; but this is IA truth fatal IL
the reveDgcr of Waterloo, and which he must do ms
best TO from his armed myrmidOns by pulling
hard on John Bull and clothing the very alliance Ill
the garbs of a vassaiage imposed by France, and ac
cepted by England.
Such s his game, most dangerous one, likely 10
hasten the issue il aims to put of If Pellssier fails
in his bullying mission, he is sure to do, the last
card has been played, the theatrical performances
must make room for real ones, or Bonaparte VII
stand before his army confessed impOster, hiding
behind his Napoleonic airs the sorry figure OF the
London constable Of the 10th of April, lStS.
In point of fact, il was but the alliance with En-
gland which enabled the nephew for time to MIN
ie the uncle. The close connection OF England
and France, while giving the death-blow to the
Holy Alliance and putting at nought the balance OF
European power, naturally invested Bonaparte, the
COptinental representative of that alliance, with
the appearance of the arbiter of Europe. So long
as the Russian war and the Internal state of France
allowed him TO do SO, he was but too glad TO con
tent himself with this symbOEcal rather than real
supremacy. All this has changed since peace relsns
in Europe and the army reigns in France lie is
now called upon by the army to show that, like
real Napoleon, he holds the dctsture of Europe,
not in trust for England, but in spite OF England.
Hence his perpexities. On the one hand he bullles
John Bull, on the other hand he iusinuates to him
that he means no HARM He rather impores him
to hook frightened, out of courtesy at the mock
menaces OF his 'august ally" This Is the very
way of stifenng John Bull, who feels that he risks
nothing in giving himself heroical airs.
