The language Of Thursday leading article
OF the French paper in Few York, the Courier
-des Etats Unis, Is very pointed. The Courier,
tits well known, has always been warm sup
porter of Napoleon, but the news from
France, lt'seems, leads that paper now to give
the slan Of alarm. Under the head Of 'Sursum
Cords, = it says: '.What matters that there i5a
man named olivier, if this man leaves US to
be beaten! What matter that there is a man
named Napoleon, II, Napoleon Is caduc and his
hand too feeble to hold the sword? We do
not know anybody when there Is question OF
the salvation, Of the honor, OF the grandeur OF
France Let the power be trusted to whom
.soeYer shall take 1t, and in whatever form it
may be, be it this Incarnation Of the people, be
1t monarchy or republic-but let them give
us victory"
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes: san impression prevails, both
In England and America, that the war will not
be of long duration. Tits idea is founded on
the marvellous improvement In artillery and
arms of all descriptions, and is partly JUSTIFIED
by the fabidity of the Prusslan conqucs, in the
war with Austria. But can assure those who
entertain the idea that 1t Is fallacious one.
The present war Is undertaken under very dif.
,ferent circumstances from any previous one:
The point at issue Is the supremacy In Europe
and the two nations which are now faceto
face are the first military powers In the world.
The contest must, therefore, be q rude one
The Emperor INDUCES In none Of the illusions
which the official bureau OF publicity would
,fain encourage In the public mind. He says
plainly in his proclamation that the war which
is now commencing will be long and trying.
AT the same time his confidence IN the success
;osthe French arms Is ungsFering."
