ton. 1t has for title :. The Two Phases Of
the Second Empire"
- The history Of the Second Eufpire.n
writes Girardin. may be divided into two
periods The first, characterized By treat
economy oil words, 10 the Period OF Action.
The second, especially rich in manifes>
tos, orations and speeches, is the Oratorical
Period.
:" In the FIRST period fall: The Crimean war,
the Italian war, the great undertakings and
public works, the transformation Of the cap
ltai, the completion Of the net of railways,
the development of trade and industry, the
progress of general prosperity, and the lib
eral decree OF Nov. "a, 1850.
The second period shows us the balance:
A chaatised Poland, Denmark trodden be-
meath the feet, the collapse Of the AexieAn
Empire, the formation al the German
Kingdom, kaeAAo sssanaiioa, the $50 nil
lions burned II the csllsrs Of France, the in
dustrial and commercial crisis, the financial
disasters, striker. the partial defeat at Lux
embourg, the withdrawal of the right Of de-
bate on the Emperors address
81 In the first phase falls Sebastopol; in the
second, Sadowal
"In the first the Peace of Paris fsoth Of
March, 1850. in the second the Treaty of
london, May II, 1867.
1.-The phases of conquered triumphs; the
phases Of faults committed
The phases of victory; the phases Of de-

phases Of the dark spots. The FIRST is Sol

=" Jan. l. 1853, four words spoken to Baron
liubner were enough to declare war with
Austria and these four words we're preface
to two great victories
la 1866 here are few facts, but many
words. The speech of Auxerre, MAY 6, the
letter to Drouyn de Lhuys, June IL, the cir
cular Of the Minister Lavalette, Sept. 10.

with o simple acknowledg of accom-
plished facts, and the living up of all
claims to rectifcation of frontier.
