Meantime greater mistake could not be made
than to imagine the general peace of Europe in
greater safety now than when the French army was
laundering at the gates Of Mantus and Verona.
The French Emperor did not pause in his mad career
and beg peace Of his beaten enemy without s1me
other schemes maturing in his dark and subtle in
tsllect. By all reports his peace with Austria is
much more than peace. Some close and intimats
understanding clearly exists, similar to that which
was brought about at the close of the Crimesn war
with Russian understanding established with
such indecent haste that France was the sworn friend
Of Russia almost before her offensive and defensive
alliance with Euglsnd against the Russian Emperor
was at an end. Those who hereafter form alliances
