left in either party to prevent the defintye rupture
To resume briefly the official speechmaking of
the past ten days: its prominent aim has been To
show the unreasonableness rather than to com
bat, the idea of a European defensive coalition
against France. And yet the sub soil fact, 50 10
speak, is permanent justifyng in a sort the sus-
picon of all diyiDe-right Powers toward France.
France incontestably is the standard-bearer Of
reformation and revolution in Europe. What the
dlyinp.rght Powers have to fear is that Louis Ma
poleon viii be able to retain his place a. Ensign
of France. Let wOTse come to worst and Louis
Napoleon however unwilling, is perfectly capable
of donning on his head, bald yet Of the imperial
round Of sovereignty, the PhTygian cap of liberty
and putting himself at the head Of the thoroughly
pOpu'ar movement For the rest " twice sad SIM.
plcity" itself must be alive to the pressing truth
that 1860 is but the continuation of l546; might
perhaps better say the refunpton.
Monsieur de Persigny's expressed faith in the
power of diplomacy TO arrange satisfactorily all fu
ture troubles in Europe becomes gigantically laugh
able and lamentabe--to that degree that one is in
doubt whether to break out into melancholy guf
flaws or cheerful Weeplng-wh'n one comes to think
Of the facts in the case. To-day, one of the first
Powers in Europe is an ex-talOw chandler of Staten
Island There is not n sovereign, nor irst-class
diplomat, or Prime Minister, of all Europe, who
does not wait in timd expectation, on the 9teps Of
Joseph Garbaldi-not one of them Palmerston as
little as Napoleon who does not wish the man dead,
and not one of them who dares say so. All En-
ropean diplomacy il cOwed before the simple, honest
man is dancing attendance upon the possibilities
of his success. And there is not a man of them,
not one single one, who dares come out aud say
"Garbaldi is right" or "Garibald is wrong"
Let this be borne in mind that no eminent English
statesman has committed himself to Garbaldi;
that PameTstOn has done no whit more for him
than Louis Napoleon, and that were the man TO
fail tomorrow (of which, happily, there is no
chance), he would get no more support from Lon
don than from Vienna.
Louis Napoleon will not give up Savoy and Nice,
of course The British Cabinet disapprOye of the
annexation, of cOuTse-and talk about the treaties
of 1915, whose stipuatOBs have been violated more
directly and openly by every other one of the par
Elephants than by France, previous TO 1859, of
course: and will not lift a finger TO secure TO
Switzerland the rights assured TO her by said trca
ties, of course. Cannon is CANNON, and bOsh is
his prophet.
And TO think that there are men still extant who
suppose themselves intelligent and offer in way of
proof their disbelief in Napoleon aud their belief in
Palmerston My gracious Have they forgotten
that astonishing passage in that astonishing letter
to 'My Dear Persigny ?" Lord Palmerston
knows me, and when | affirm thing he will be-
/" Geve me ~ Which passage, by the way in that
altogether remarkable and clever letter reminds me
wonderfully of Mrs. Quickly: "And the boy never
"need understand anything: for It's not good that
90 children should know any wickedness Oh toiES
"you Enor, hare discretion, as they say, and know
:" the world"
To concludes all official organs pipe TO peace
Napoleon for The moment really, would prefer
peace on account Of his pOtic0-ecOnOmica schemes,
which need peace for their develOpement; that the
Eastern and Italian questions can not be diplomatic
caly solved is pretty general belief. Your own
correspondents non-OpniOn is that for the next
month war viii be- cOnfnedtO Italy; and that with
in tine coming twelve months Italy will be free to the
Alps or that Napoleon will be Obiigcd tO be fighting
with King Garibaldi for the attainment of that
wished-fOr cOnsummation.
Our latest news from the East shows that, under
Western pressure, the late murders and fayOrrrs
of murders in Syria are getting siQnaly punished;
that the radical TdRcuRC of Mussuluans against
nominal Christians exists as yirulent as ever: that
the traditional fcud between Maronites and Druses
Gan Palmerston's admiration of Turkish reforms,
and clever Mr.. Kinglakcs foolish talk of French
marked muskets in qualification Notwithstanding
has little 10 do with the main grave question be-
tween Turkish batbarism and Western civilization,
now pressing imperatiyely for practical decision
Not at all malaprCpos of these political GRANTEES
is to be noticed of the p,izc themes of poetry,
offered by the French Academy for next years
competition" L'ESfdme de SHo-;' the prize is a
gold medal worth ? 600 francs.
Despite the shooting and hanging Of some hundred,
more or less, OfmurderOus sc)uHdreIs at Damascus,
the nominal Christians residing within the nominal
sway of the Sublime Porte are anything but as
sured of peace and tolerance. In respect of Turk
ish affairs, we are evidently come not 20 the COM
mencement, but TO the continuation of the end.
Hungary is getting on brayely; not mi.led by
the slippery false promises of Francis Joseph into
irrational conlidence-uOt mislcd by ncalculating
zeal into irrational nsurrectiOn-she steadily keeps
the upper hand of Francis Joseph who is in a ter
ribe to do betwiXt yielding and resisting the poor
young man having no instructive pluck generosity
To guide him.
