Opinion Of NapOle0n's Peace Professions.
From the Journal de st. Petersburg, April 15.l
The telegraph brings from Paris the analysis OF
an article in the C0nstutionnel, in which the peace
full intentions of France are once more affirmed.
However, that journal admits that disarmament
would constitute better guarantee against war than
do the military preparations at present prosecuted In
the majority of the great States But according to
Nj. Pauin Limayrac, France Is not the first that is
bound to disarm, the initiative ought TO be taken
abroad. History records an episode OF the battle Of
Fontenoy, when Lord Hay, advancing in front of the
ranks and saluting the French officers, said,
"Gentlemen Of the French Guards fire ~ and then
Count d'Auteroche stepping forward In turn, replied,
'After you, Messieurs les Anglais; we never fire
first" We are not aware on what grounds NJ Paulin
Lmayrac relies 10 show that France cannot dsarm
until after Others have done so just as her soldiers
fired I'm 1745. True the courtesy OF Count dAuter0che
the army Of Louis XIV. the whole OF ts advanced
line, which was destroyed by a formidable voley.
We do not know whether the memory Of this is what
renders NJ. Pauln Limayrac prudent. We shall be
informed perhaps, In reading his article when the
Paris journal reaches us, and shall at present
confne ourselves to the simple observation that II t
may be dangerous not TO attack first IL does not
that there is much peril In disarmng before Others
when has no desire to attack and is not threat
ened, and when glory may be acquired by giving
great example to the world.
