The Humiliation Of England.

The expulsion of Garibaldi from England
is the announcement to the world that the
pleasure Of Louis Napoleon is the policy OF
Great Britain. 1t has long been the proud
boast of that country that it offered exile to
the political refugees of every land. Tyrants
and their victims Charles Tenth, Louis Phi
lippe, Don Miguel, Rosas, Ledru Rollin, Slaz-
zini, Louis Blanc, Metternich, Galenga-the
escaped from the dungeons of Spandau, and
Spielberg, and Siberia the fugitives from
the palaces of the Continent; she would re-
ceiye them all, and the foreign hand that
would seize them should fall paralyzed as 1t
| touched the British shore. And now comes
hero, such as does not appear IN modern
history, not from dungeon, but from the
hearts of his countrymen and the confidence
of his king, who is welcomed to England oy
the great multitude Of the people, from the
noorest weaver in London cellar, to whom
the name Of Garibaldi has certain music OF
hone, to the Prince Of Wales. The people,
the Government, the town, the country, con-
spire in the greeting; the nation salutes him;
his foot is raised for trlumphal progress
through the summer land.
Behold what people was the cry. They
salute the man whom nations love and kings
hate. What a country, which is so strong
that feasts Garibaldi, and sits at council with
Austria and France? What -, when
Louis Napoleon says quietly, Garloaldi
must 60 :" and Louis Napoleon is obeyed !!
He does not prevent his coming. He does
not whisper dissent to keep him at Caprera.
No, for he will have the humiliation utter
and overwhelming. He waits for the very
browning moment of the English enthusiasm
and delight in their guest, and then orders
England to expel him, and England obeys
So grieyous a humiliation has not befallen so
proud State since James Seconds prostitu-
ton to Louis Fourteenth. Carlyle's picture
Of the posture of England during the CONT
mental wars of the last century is not tiatter-
ing, but it shows nothing so sad as this. 1t
is the most melancholy confirmation Of
Kinglake's picture of English submission to
the same man in the Crimean war. 1t sug-
gests the impotence of England and the as
cendancy of France more than any contem-
pOrary event.
In one of its very able articles, the London
| Spectator, liberal and sagaciOus journal,
| frankly admits that {" for the present there is
nothing for it but alliance as hearty as COM
| mon interests can make it between England
| and France" Alliance-yes; but upon such
terms? Alliance upon condition that lips
| warm with welcoming national guest shall
culver into whispering, Please 60 ; he says
| YOU must not STAY" What makes it worse
| is, that the same article confesses that there
is no diminution Of the ancient jealousy and
the ancient fear. ENGLAND was and is
armed against France, and France alone"
| Put this sentence with the other we have just
| quoted, and what condition of things it re-
veals Surely, when it is known that Carl
| baldi went, not because he was i'll, but be-
cause his physician said he must so, as Lord
Palmerston declared, who, two years ago, de-
clared that there might be war with this coun-
try when for fortnight he had had Mr..
Stewards disclaimer in his pocket, but be-
cause the French Emperor ordered Lord
Palmerston to order him away, there will
either be a popular tempest which will whirl
the present ministry from power, or Great
Britain deliberately accepts the post of French
