Like everything else spperanine to the Second Em-

The Tresty of Vlafranca is the very counterpart or

Whether, as at Tist, matters have gone yet farther,
and deliberate scheme of aggression has been agreed
upon between the new friends, We are not at

We have never been among those who censured the
French Emperors alacrity a. p-acemakng on that oc
ca-CD, 'eelLg convinced that his people would not
have allowed him to continue the war and remember
rg with extreme Thank fuuess 10 Providence that
THIS Treaty dl.Dgased our troops for the suppression OF
the revolt in lDois. IL the EIperTs manner
that 50 justly ofepsive-his cool abandonment Of
his old alice a. he found opportunity Of max
ing more Ia his taste-the presumption with
which he eouRht to persuade the world Of two
uDensble propositions, that he had been the life and
soul OF the war and the srbiter Of pesce.
For excellent reasOps. Russia affected to believe
him. and there be doubt that, up to the
present time, very good understanding has prevailed
between the two Courts. But sfter all, what benefit
has accrued to Louis Napoleon Though well con-
VII ced that Russia woud have drawn the sword
against Germany for hs advantage, content to
leave this part of she subject open question, AMI
conhne our attention to the steps she has actually
taken IN bs Ltcre-t Sue frustrated the pr )pOsed
daiion Of Erg and, ana Gid her best to deter the small
German Saes from taking arms. Had the Italian
question been settled as England wished, Louis Nspo-
leon would have come out Of the negotiation without
the los of franc sol 'ier, and with, stain on
whatever reputation he may at hat time have pos
sess,d for isr dealing ard good faith. Had Prince
Goriscbabo1 kept biz r-nionst in bis desk the
Intervention of Prussia might not have anticipated the
ruin Of the Qusdnsttra.
Though these fruits of bis Rassian alliapce nay not
be very satisfactory, they much better than any
LOUIS Napoleon can reasonably hope 10 derive from
his league with Austria. On what service can Austrl

Will cooperate very heartily iL Italy, where tue Empe-

interests pretty nearly identical. He has in fac left
himself 10 choice but to do his alys work, or
nothing. But how Is Austria to repay the ser vice
