The first. .NApoIfoN,amhen meditating an
important stroke of policy, felt the public
pulse by issuing pamphlets which, summing
up. The reasons pro and. con, concluded BY
showing thesneoessity to France Of. adopt
ing the line eaof conduct upon which the
Emperor had privately determined. These
pamphlets were, sometimes anonymous,
sometimes written under a.'name, and, if
The idea which they conveyed caused too
warm an outbreak of indignation, had the
effect, of postponing or changing the plans
about to ,bea apublished. This device has
beenadopsed; by the present Emperor, and
svsry important project has been hsrsldssd lls 4
By attempts to predisPose e tho minds a1 Of tn the

Peace Is now ths ministerial ory, but the
French, hot-hesds, impatient iof dullness
and taxation, turn wistfully to war as at
least . nsHysensatiQn. They do not desire
to be the enemies of civilization, TO array
a,gsinst them the forces Of their liberal
neighbors, SO they maketa new combins-
tion Of ,ihe5old ingredients, and administer
i publicly in q recent pamphlet called "La
Pait par La Guerre. ~ SO = - ,.ns :
This work attracts special attention, be
cause the writer has q definite plan for the the
rearrsngement of boundaries, and for 3
general, revision of Che internal policy of
theme formidable European States. II,
is true there is, nothing to fight about.
France is only ennuyfe. Prussia is chang.
ing Germany into N litary, despotism.
Russia has her mind bent 1on. India.E AUS
.trissis .hoad- over. .ears. in debt Thesmaller
Kingdoms are fishing, hunting, gaming,
making love and spending, money Yet
there is, q fear that war may break out ct
any moment, and the European mind is
scuteIy sensitive To- the faintest note Of
alarm. Of course, France is the cloud ll on
the horizon, and the pamphlsteer asserts
that she lis justly provoked by the expan'
sion andrsggrandizement Of Prussia. - :
According to the new pamphlet, NApo-
LION is to be,the apostle,:of reform, and to
make the liberation Of Gsrmsny'the excuse
for the coming war. France is to pick the
quarrel, to select her allies. to fight the
battle, and Germany is to reorganize
her liberties under the protection Of France,
which would carry out the wishes of the
people, as Expressed by a popular vote.
Bavaria is to be. untouched. Baden is to
stand onsits own legs. Saxony will take
back her dynasty. Hanover is to be re-
stored to its late owners, and increased by
the annexation of WesLphalia and, Olden-.
berg. Prussia is to be driven beyond the
Elbe, and is to be treated msgnanimously;
t.for it is never good to drive o courageous
.peopletato despair" The final result is
summed UP as follows -.
eve do mot pretend that this plan would
smske all future wars impossible. Itwould.
e.be too much To hope from human nature.
"But !ws.think we may affirm that an organ
.izstion rof Europe oonformable to the
"wisBes of the people, and the principle of
Municipalities understood in its true sense

.key against the dangers which for the last
.half. century menace her,l rreoonstitute
"Germany in manner oonformable to her
Tendencies andetheg genius Of her people,
"would keep off for s'foug- tfmo-the prlnci-
"psl. causes of;wsr which at this moment
.sgitate public opinion and keep Europe in
s'alarm. Let people reflect on the present
sssituation. Let them call to mind how the
aEmperor has describedit. 'Ttis not either
"peace with its security, nor war with its
Mfayorable chances The state of things
"whioh we have just sketched would be, on
..the contrary, after war with its happy
"chsnces, peace with all its security"
! The writer does not, Of course, consider
whether Germany would accept the patron
age of France; whether the smaller States
might not prefer cheap independence whom
their big neighbor had been eubdued' and
