Some alarmists in the way of newspaper correspond
ents are giving out that war in Europe IS contln
gency to be looked for at distant day. They INSIST
that the entente cordiale between England and France
has sustained shock from which it hardly recover
and that recent events connected with the refugee ques
ton must tend to precpitate disruption already Suf
GENTLY imminent
OF course no man of common sense with the history
of France for the last few years before him. places any
reliance upon the course of Louis Napoleon, except
where his interests lead him does England possess
any other guarantee than what these interests may at
ford. Professions are nothing.
That the French Emperor would strike blow ut
England tomorrow if his policy dictated such course
and that England would meet him halfway If she could
afford it, We have no of doubt. But 1t Strikes
us that neither of the parties yet in condition 10
break the peace The government of France rapidly
assuming all the characteristics of military despotism
Day by day fresh evidences are furnished that the Elm
peror dstrusts the loyalty Of the French people, and
feels the necessity of relying more and more upon the
bayones of the army, to please which he is adopting
tone towards his ncghbors more appropriate to mill
tary chieftain than to civil ruler. AS the people be-
come more estranged FROM and less consulted by the
government-as the relations of that government be-
come less cordial with its continental neighbors can
it afford to array against it its strongest ally from whom
it has derived the greatest assistance and whom it has
been able to use so eccuay for the promotion OF its
| own ends?
On the other hand can England afford to go to war
with France? With India unsettled and its market
stoppcd or curtailed- China to be disposed Of
with commercial system still Keeling from the heavy
blows inflicted by the late revuson her interest is most
certainly in the direction of peace
We have assumed that the only reliable guarantees
for the continuance of peace in Europe are to be found
in the interests and necessities of parties These evil
IDENTIFY point to peace and that serious apprehcnsions
are yet felt in England is evidenced by the high figure
at which government stocks are quOted-highcr than
| they have reached in years.
The only fear is that Napoleon having thrown himself
upon the army may be forced to obey its dicaton and that
the spirit of the army is deeply hostile to England
evidenced by the recent addresses of the regiments after
| the attempt on the EmperOrs life.

Mr. Disraeli remarked in u recent speech that the
Emperor Napoleon is perfectly acquainted with the
strength and resources of England But there is
thing else of which the Emperor is likewise aware, and
which the statesmen of England, who calculated on our
discord and misfortunes, apt to forget We speak
of the national sentiment of the public and unanimous
sentiment experienced by france the subject of Eng

They have their reasons for this dislike of which
the English may be proud but which should not be met
with two great disdan. Amidst all our discord and d.
visions there exists word-perhaps is the only one
which speaks to all hearts, to those which appear
to have lost their nationality through study through
enthusiasm for foreign laws and customs On the Py-
rences along the shores bathed by the ocean, in the
plains of AlSatia and of Sologne in the streets of
towns, in mansions and in hOvels in workshops, and
in banking establishments that word pronoun-

not vulgar that has failed restraining it for
time, and may continue to restrain it but it would
take centuries to eXtnguSh that sentiment while to let
it loose would be the work of an instant. England
should wish that this moment may never arrive; she
should desire this the more since having Unidentified her

of this century and since the events of the late years
have considerably diminished the prestige of Warterloo
