lie speech on New Years day 10 be the signal
eof war, but that he has been disappointed By
she manifestations il has drawn forth, not
merely IN Frauce itself, but in England and
Germany. Among an classes Of his subjects,
except he soldisTy, the feeling OF disaPpoint-
lmsnf and alarm seems 70 be general, while In
England, instead o. the pablie being led away,

attack on a country with which he has setu-

upon him. Nothing could be more easy thar

suitable field, the opportunities on the Danube

consent Of The King Of Sardinia to give ~
daughter, the Princess Clotilde, to the Prime
