Ammar for come DAYS rife, has been verified.
Count Walewski, The French Minister fer
FOREIGN Affairs, has ceased to bold once, and
me Woarfeur Of Yesterday informs Europe that
n. d Thouvensl has been recalled from Con-
staniinorle 10 sit in his pace. Thus another
enigma Is proposed to the ingenuity Of curious
politicians. and another leaf is turned in The
nolicv o. cur perpiesing ally. The career OF
the minister who is thus superseded is IN IT,
SELF : riddle. and hardly more readable IS a
consistent whole. than the policy Of bis mae
ter. Count Walewskf's first APPEARANCE in
F7gland was in 1881. az The emisssTy OF The
Polish Aesociation. His name seemei TO ally
hin indissoiubly with the championship OF
ornrrseei natiunalities. To him, claiming
name and maternal descent from the nobility
Of a people who had ceased 10 be = nation, the
rrpat conservative Powers Of Europe were
natural enemies. Austria and Russia bad
troidan out his cou1trv. He was accented
here as the man Of all others most committed
70 ultra views, and he responded to the eXpec-
tatons o. The party which welcomed him..
Re was a fierce Republican. Il is not 81 Of
rs who r~ecoliect the enthusiasm If those DAYS
when large public subscriptions poured in,
when Enchesscs became lady patronessrs 70
Polish balls. and when the House OF Common
vas ccmneled By the popular voice to draw
fhe national purEe-strings. Theimpetus, how
ever, was 90 great that il was carried on with
a Ianguishing energy even to recent times.
In all this Count Walewski was a very
prominent, II not the most prominent, actor.
Time wore on, add lhe enthusiasm for a hope
less cause wore ont. Walswski, who held the
memorv Of ths first Napoleon in sfectionste
respect, attached himself, after many ether ad-
ventures. 70 the fortunes OF the nephew. How
he walked with him in the strange psfh which
Iad Louis Napoleon 70 the pinnacle we al
know : and nons wondered 10 find him sdvane-
ID By Nanoleon III 70 posts Of dignity and

Count Walewski was Ambassador at our eourt

could appreciate 50 accurately the currents Of
our national impulses, and who was 80 capable
IL preserving unhrokpn the cordial understand-
ing which this generation Of Englishmsn has
slwavs desired to maintain with our powerful
neishhors.
After a time. however, it became evident
that. although Walewski knew rs. we did not
know Walewskf. The Polish enthusiast bad
found a country, and bad forgotten all his
wrongs. Oppressed ~natioaalities bad in his
mind passed from the category Of martyrs 10
that Of rebels. Austria and Russia were no
longer robbrr andtTrant powers. Every ere
congratulated himself that the representative
or a revolutionary empire had cured himself Of
bis earlier exsEgsrstions, and had become 50
moderate. But Walewski became minister,
and our EHgIish politicians began to diminish
their satisfaction: for Walewski's conversion
from extreme Liberalism was becoming too
complete. From a fierce Republican he had
become a sort Of Imperial Tory. He bad
crown not only to detsst al insurgent naton-
a%lities, but to visit with bis severe discourage
ment all constitutional government. when
Europe was startled by some threatening dsm-
onstration which provoked every free people
70 anger. IT was Walewski who 0stensibly
bore the odium Of the act. Il vas Wslewski
who insisted upon Regulating" Belgium. Il
was Wslegski who proposed to compel Eng
land 70 Danish Bernard. When the Emperor
| allowed himself to ne carried away by "gen-
srous Impulse and went forth to emancipate
ntalV, Il was Walewski who opposed the war.
When Austria was worsted it was thought
that il was Walewski Who suggested that
enough bad been done. When the Convention

when the Pope is threatened, the Imperial
threat comes forth in an anonymous pamphlet,

powers.

becomes ridiculous in the eyes Of a nation
which can better endure a grinding tyranny
than a singing epigrsm. The dismissal Of
Walewski Is a declaration that Napoleon III
Is disposed 70 commit himself to the more
liberal and generous line Of policy, to cast

" against al the powers of ~despotism, and all
