verely in typhoon on her passage from Japan, and
was undergoing repairs. The captain of the DOnau,
WhipliDger gained great honor and reputation at

THE QUEENS MISTAKE.
From the N. Y. Sum

FROM the ~. II. sun
Queen Victoria has aimed another blow at
the stability of her throne by yielding to the
clamor of Lord Granville and the privileged
classes of England. To please them she not
only gives the cold shoulder to the French re-
public, but aggravates that offense by con-
tinuing to recognize Eugene Montijo as the
Empress of the French, notwithstanding her
and her husbands deposition by the French
Legislature. The Queen has done this by ad-
dressing an Official letter of coincidence to
Eugene, directed to Her Imperial Majesty
the Empress of the French at Hastings.
1t is possible that the Queen would not
have taken this step if her daughter, the
Crown Princess of Prussia, had not intimated
to her that Napoleon continues to be treated
by the King as the lawful sruer of France,
and that consequently her Majesty's acknow-
ledgment of his continued sovereignty by
recognizing the imperial title of Eugene
would give great satisfaction to the court of
Berlin.
This is very grave responsibility to take,
both for King William and Queen Victoria.
The one acts in defiance of the liberal senti-
ments of the German people, and the other
in fisgrant violation of the public opinion of
England. Meanwhile, Louis Napoleon is in
active communication with Eugenie and Gra-
mont in England, with Princess Mathilde and
Benedict in Belgium, as well as directly with
the authorities at Berlin. Should this strange
infatuation of King William take more SUBJ
stantial shape-should Queen Victoria also be
held guilty by her people of conniving with
the fallen empire against the struggling re-
public-popular connections will be sure to
rebuke the folly of both sovereigns. In
Germany the outbreaks may be stopped for
time by the military exigencies of the coun-
try; but in England it is very possible that
they may result in formidable revolution.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-01

But there was no desire to help the nation
which of all others most actively barred the
Russian advance to the Bosphorus. 1t is a
significant fact that the preparations of Rus
sia did not begin until the power of France
was hopelessly broken. 1t has never been
the policy of Russia to rush, with knight
errant-like fervor, to the aid of distressed
nations; her aim has been rather to seize
those weakened empires exposed to her ra-
pacious grasp. Turkey is the next victim
