To tbosr vh1 wish well % France the 'a'e

is generally sugF. sei to be Tae'ng to-day.
Iii..s-r, military men have said that the war
w,pll be Concluded by a general engagement be
tween the srnil. opposed to each ether at the
oa,.s. Of ;hc var. But this opinion is not voTi-
fed by late events
The French army q now enthusiastic and
.birs;ing for a. revenge" The disasters Of the
past week. replete as they were with the dread
fol rniseries 4 war, have occasiouei discomfort
in Paris and urged the necessity Of an immediate
engagement
France has but little sympathy from English-
men and Germans continue to express iEdigna-
zion at the attitude Of England.
Most Englishmen think that a constitutional
monarchy IS the only ,olerable form Of govern
ment, so that the Emperor can expect but little
sympathy from them. But the free trade policy
Of France, and the operation Of the Cole Grille,
which disrenscs with the Inconvenience AID
injustice Of the law Of primogeniture, commend
themselves 90 7aiical reflrmers
Perhaps the respective cases may be thus
stated
Freuehucn are di-liksi because they are not
Enriishmeu, and because France Is a first rate
r-Ger aud rival And Germans are detestei in
q great degree because they under-bid eligible
Engllshmcn in English counting house and
il some degree possibly because they compose
the itinerant bands ofstreet musicians, who are
an intoleralle nuisance IN London. So far as
the street musicians are concerned, most London
dodgers may sympathize with a wish lately ex-
pressed by vel Visier, that they may yet dis
course martial music in the front rank Of the
Prussian Grmy.
