whether or not Mr.. James's speech, advertised by

in France, it will then depend whether or not
France shall rush upon England. But after this
characterization of war, there follows, day
later, curious and startling winding up In the
Patr,e The French invasion is to be averted
but only by new turn to be given to the Anglo
French alliance. Bernards acquittal has revealed
the rising power of anarchy in British society.
Lord Derby is to save society in England IN thu
same way as BOnaparte has saved it in France
Such is the upshot of the alliance, and such !. its
oond,io sine qua non. The Earl of Derby, it's added
is man of immense talent, and of almost royal al
'hances and consequently the man to save society
in England The English daily papers cling to the
weakness, regeneration, and infrmity OF purpose
betrayed in this alienation OF rage, menace and
sOphlsm. The Paris correspondent OF The DAILY
ke,cs imagines itself to have solved the riddle OF
these dissOviDg views exhibited in the OntrcrS the
Constitutional, and the PatrH by dwelling upon the
wel.known fact that Bonaparte has double set of
advisers--the drunken jewellers of the evening, and
the sober cOunseOis of the morning. He smells
in the articles OF the Unrers and the Constitution
mel the fumes of Chateau Maryaux and cigars,
and in the article of the Parie the showers OF the
cold water bath. But the same double set acted
during Bonaparte duel with the French Republic.
The one after January, IS49, threatened, in its
little evening journals, with coup dttat, whle the
other, in the heavy columns of the Monueur, gave
them the lie direct. Still it not in the starched
articles of the Moniteur, but in the drunken
"huzzas" of the Pouroir, that the shadow OF
coming events was traced. We are, however, far
from believing that Bonapsrte is possessed of the
means of successfully crossing the u" broad ditch.
The cOmica ucubratiOns in that line, which The
~ Y. Herald has taken upon itself to publish,
are sure to raise a smile on the lips even of mere
tyrOs in military science. But We are decidedly of
opinion that Bonaparte, civilian it ought never to
be forgotten, at the head of military Government,
has in the Patre put the last and the only possible
Interpretation On the ADglo-French alliance which
will satisfy his "cOlOnels." He finds himself in Il
situation at once the most grotesque and the most
dangerous. To impose upoa foreign Governments,
he must clap on the sword. To sOOthe the sword
bearers, aud prevent them from taking his rhodo-
montades in real good earnest, Re must recur to
such impossible yfctiOnes juris as that the Anglo
French alliance means the saving Of society in
England in the approved BOnapartist fashion. OF
course facts must clash with his doctrines and the
upshOt, if his reign is not, as we are inclined 70
think, cut short by revolution, will be that his
fortune is eDgulfed, it has been raised, in mad
brain adventures in expedition de Boutogne on
all enlarged scale. The Emperor will subslde into
the adventurer the advenurer has been converted
into the Emperor.
In the mean time, while the fdtr< mas
spoken the last word Bonaparte can utter as
to the meaning of the Ango-French alliance, it
is worth the while to direct attention to the man.

the governing classes of England. In this respect
an article of The London Economist entitled " The

The Economist gives full swing to his "imaglna.

The Economist, what has be- said with respect to
lawyers, that the more prOsaic the man the more

can scarcely trust his imagination to dwell on
"the influence which real alliance between the
two great peoples which stand at the head Of
