In the present state OF Europe, AL
agree as to the necessity Of clipping
the wings of Prussia before the ag-
alomeratioa of Fatherland becomes
fact; bat then il b counseiled not
TO attack Bismarck until q good
opening can be had at him. This Is
the last thing Bismarck intends CIV
ing to France. He WIN neither ad-
vance or recede. He adheres TO the
nan poss.usus as tennaGiously Is the
Pope. There is luck In waiting.
Not that Prussia Is either afraid OF,
or unprepared 70 faghe France. AYE
ready" !" i her motto, consequently,
France and Prussia, regard each
other, with the frieudliness OF two
dogs, ready to spring at each others
throats. The Emperor is known 10
be busy at his pet scheme Of Con-
gress, to bring about o general dis
arming, and by q Eiank movsnent
force Prussia to ratify the Treaty OF
Prague, and in case of refusal, force
war. This matter b said to have
termed the principal subject Of Mon
days Cabinet Council, but was ieif
undecided. The question Is becom-
ing q pressing one for France, as the
success of Spain is getting up fire
in the rear of the Second Empire.
Peaple were uncommonly loquaoious
on politics a short time ago, but they
have now relapsed into the silent
systematic most dangerous of atti~
tudes. Every journal hostile to the
| government meets with an unpre-
cedented success expression
of free speech" Is eheered to tho
echo-every act Of interference with
! individual rights has the changes
rung upon it. Frfnce is moi desti-
tute Of liberties, but she desires a
guarantee for thenI, for a breath can
undo, as q breath has made them.
Men are weary counting upon moth
ing and being nothing-of being de
prived OF the power to manage ones
own affairs. The Frenchman ar

The unanimity to uphold public
order, and to launch the maturest
| ideas Of our most advanced
civilization under the most favora-
/ BILE auspices, mark the history of the
week in Spain. The question of a
Monarchy or a Republic, is engaging
the attention of those who wish to
see the Peninsula free or enslaved.
Many advocate one or other Of these
schemes because they coincide with
their own ideas-or more accurate
still, their feelings, aorgetfal, that 10
Procrustean rule can be spilled to
the policy of nations. But there Is
wider class OF sympathiseEp With
"5pain Delivered who would de-
sire first to witness the liberties she
has won hscoms consolidatedr--to
grow and blgssMn like the rsse- the
time when ssery man shsssi sst AN
der his own vine and fig tree, with
none TO m0lest him or make him
afraid. 1t is this class thai believes
q Federation the means Of avert
iagahe dangers In store for New
Spain. Taslve Pretenders WOO her
throne, ready TO precipitate them
selves upon power, as upon prey.
Each siren has q paEty~-6ew and

not idle-he likes not the giories Of

or that portion whieh remains oS
them, to excite the people, when the
