The Congress of sOveroIgns.

Fronlthe World.
Half century has rolled away since any
capital of Europe witnessed such congress
of sovereigns as is now assembling at Paris
Fifty years ago and more, the princes who had
combined their forces in holy league for the
overthrow of the first Napoleon, celebrated in
London the triumph which had been won at
Waterloo. British children then stared at the
Car, and British tradesmen bowed low before
the majesties of Prussia and of Holland. The
work of these august monarchs had, to all
seeming, been thoroughly and finally done.
On the I'd of August, 1915, solemn conven-
tion had been signed by their representatives
in Paris, Wellington, Castlereagh, and Met
ternich, to the effect that "Napoleon Bonaparte
being now in the power of the allied sove-
reigns, their Maesties of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain, the Emperor of Austria, the
Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia,
have agreed, in virtue of the stipulations of
the treaty of March %, 1915, upon the mea-
sures most proper to render all enterprises
impossible on his part against the peace OF
Europe"
how the "King of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, - the king, as Swift
so bitterly and truly put it, of
"Divided hearts, united States"
consented to become the turnkey of Europe;
how the maiesties of Austria, Prussia and
Russia sent Commissioners" to st. Helena to
see that the royal turnkey did his duty; how
the formidable eagle enmeshed and Gagged beat
out his mighty life upon that lonely island
rock of the African Atlantic. All these things
the sovereigns assembled in London half a CEN
tury ago did most jubilantly exult over, and
commend to the sympathy and the admiration
of Christendom.
Il is a vastly more brilliant and imposing
congress which is meeting now in Paris, and
under auspices how different The sovereigns
of Russia and Prussia in person; the heir Of
the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland;" the Kings of Portugal and of Bel
piun. are convened to-day in the capital from
which fifty years ago Napoleon Bonaparte"
was expelled by the arms of Europe, as the
