The patent truth (sad OF laughable, according to

that in this paper war, now Uaged so smartly be-
iw cen tie French and English, there is not penny
or sou to choose between the combatants on either
side The Channel, on the score OF prejudice, gnO-
rance, bungle and blunders. GalOphObla Is as
insare as Apglolhobia. 1t breaks out often as
once in eighteen months on either side the Channel,
alarming tnid men and exciting qudnuncs, whose
short monies cannot hold the record of the pre-
ceding dozen two similar manifestations all dy-
ing peacefully away. The real alliance between
England and France did not originate IN tine accl-
dent Of Cilmean war, and does not depend on di-
plcmats. Each country is The best customer OF the
other; neither country could by possibility make
permanent conquest in the other; and beside this
material assurance, there is in each country, thank
God, a grown class, daily growing, of modern civil
lied men with brains enough 10 see that war be-
tween the two would be not only Improbable terri
