To return to the policy of the peace. Every one
must be struck with the thoroughly Bonapartst
spirit which once more characterizes the Empe-
rOr's conduct He will have nothing to do with
dipomatists and red tapists like Jupiter, his own
nod is sufficient to tranquilize terrify the world.
he does not, however, hold himself superior to pub
stopping short in the war, and sort
of apologize spirit which pervades the proclama
ton, shows this. The question is whether as re
CARDS the confidence he wishes the world to repose
In him, he has not done too little too much--too
little fulfilling his original programme, too much
as exhibiting the formidable power he can in mo-
ment set in motion. Does he intend, it will be
asked, to give each Power in turn quiet box on
the ear as the necessary consequence of that mo-
raj supremacy he desires? Russia had it first and
became his obedent servant Austria has now re-
ceived hers. Will it be Prussias turn by-andbye2
And how about England? When the Emperor, in
Parliamentary speech, spoke of France and the
coups de theatre he was surely reading himself
homily; for if there is one thing that can be
fixed on. as the key Of the character of
this eminently reserved man, it is his
coup detat During his Presidency of the repub
lie he gave more than one minor instance of this
before the memorable affair of the I'd Of December.
We remember, too, how he gave liberty to Abdel
Kadir how he decided on his marriage, how sud-
denly ne changed his course with respect to Rus
sia, how he startled the world by his speech to the
Austrian ambassador, and how he has now made
peace. Fear and mistrnst must inevitably be the
consequence among those who demur to his supre-
macy, and it must be inferred that the ornaments
guaranteed by recent circumstances will be quick
ly discontinued. AS regards France, there cannot
be question that he has immensely exalted both
it and himself by the additions he has given to the
military prestige of the country. Many Of the
more ardent politicians will be inclined to quarrel
with the incompleteness of his attainments-speak-
ing materially-but all must allow that he has
gathered round the country halo of glory such
as it has not known for half century Is It possible
that Austria will rest satisfied-that she will not as
before, again and again. tear the treaties asunder
which thus pare down her proportions? Are the
terms so moderate as to place temptations in her
way? And Napoleon look for another repre-
sentation of the character he has appropriated
the European upholder of right, the avenger of
wrong? The peace has been signed, but it is pos
sble that we are not less on the eve of great
events.
The French troops in Italy will, IL is supposed,
be split up into fractions and stationed abroad until
ordered home. This is to avoid the Inconvenience
Of large agglomerations of men. good many of
the relatives and friends of the officers and men
preparing to go to Italy to sec them, and pleasure
trains to the army are talked Of The members Of
the diplomatic bodies now in Paris went down to
st. Cloud yesterday to congratulate the Empress
Regent on the reestablishment Of peace.

On his side the Count has not made bad specula-

The following more domestic view Of the En-.
perors overture for peace is worthy of atten-
tion:--
The Emperor was profoundly affected at the
ght Of the obstruction of human life at the battles
of n 'agenta and Solferino There is in Iris mind
fund ,,f serious philosophical ideas, which inspired
his first .'abors, which are often expressed in his
acts md n ords, and which must render him sensi
lie to the o. ills of war. The fatal effects Of the
heat which kibs the wounded and causes even the
most healthy to gu Ter must also have been for him

a war which had had ar,l' terrible consequences,
