isolation about him, AZ that. without q
footing in France, without other arms
besides terror, he should quietly fall.
The English Government, in an I'm.
happy moment Of weakness and poiit-
ical sl,ortsighte'lness, extended its
han;l t" the guilty one. The Anglo.
French alliance saved Louis Napoleon
and gave him :. power aud prestigein
Europe. Other people, seeing the
proud, free and powerful England
embracing him, began to concede to
lin an ability that he really did not
possess. a,.,~s1 -

France requires either the liberty or
the glory Of war. England, moreover,
in making Il treaty with the Emperor,
allied herself with man, anil not
with Country. No one can believe

Louis Napoleon OWNED the beginning
1T this policy, and prosecuted with
greater :lu.l ,city his own plans.
The war IF the Crinra WAS for him
oniy the m .ans of obtaining that which
should t;'llow--.-a treaty of peace in
Paris, and open for him way Of be.
coming friendly with Russia. As
soon as he saw y prospect Of the suc.
cess Of his scheme, he hastened, as he
did at the present time, to conclude
peace insecure tor his ally and 1declar.
ed premature by the public opinion Of
England. H. more than ever foment-
ed trouble between Russia and Eng
land, and soon after, the secret treat
les with the Car were commenced.

consented. and made If the idea Of

dynastic:sl ambitions Of Louis Napole.
on, he fastened the peace, and pro-
posed that which, according to his
