Lord John Russell is all ally Of tho Emperor
William and is worry anxious TINT England should
become another. Ho is solicitous for tho peace
OF Europe md wanta the rest OF England to Join
him In preserving It, Flo presided, como tlrpo
ago, at meeting hold In London to Bympa-
thize With Prince Bismarck In bis policy towards
tho Catholic Church. The English pross VAS
almost unanimous in ridlculing TINT meeting .as
representing English opinion or English sym-
pathy. The German Emperor, however, reward.
cd him by sending him 1ottor, and Lord John
feels encouraged to earn another ,-parhaps
something moro valuable or moro honorable than

aud in very indistinct tones moved for copies
Of any correspondence rolating to tho main-
tonanco Of tho poacc of Europe with tho
Governments Of the Emperor Of Germany.
tho Emperor Of AuBtria, the Emperor Of Russia
and tho Frcnch Republic. In certain eyentu-
alltfes, Mr. Russell wished to know what the
English Government was going to do. When
Bismarck demanded and obtained an ipcroase in
tho standing army Of Germany, ho had q reason
for demanding 1t. Tho Fronch were pantinR
for rovonge. In case the two Powers should
ongago In war, what was England going to do2
He was not quito certain whothor the symptoms
of agitation and hostility at present observable
wore tho swell preceding or tho swell following
tho storm. he fcarod, however, tint tho COM
motion on the sea Of Europcan politics was
an onion ct coming tempest which
would throaton tho peaco Of Europe. To pro-
servo that peace, 10 was Of opinion that England
should ally itself to Germany; TINT is, follow
his own example. Russell, England, and Cor
many, allied tn the oauso Of peace, be was very
clcar that no Power would yonture to disturb It,
Tho Earl Of Derby, in reply, said ho could not
dony that there wero some grounds for anxiety
about the pence Of Europe considering tho
moro remote events, meaning, no suppose, the
Franoo-p pruaHan war, eto. Ho Lad no official
information as to future trouble, but 1t
was patent to MI tho, world that eyontg
within the recollection Of: every ono who
heard him had loft feelings Of animoslty in tho
minds Of two great populations Lord
Derby WIS of opinion, nevertheless, that thoro
was no danger OF immediate war; and told tho |
House that in all the information he had received
from all parts Of Europe thoro was nothing to
cause apprehension Of any proximato dis /
as to tho conrso England would pursue In case |
u such disturbance. he gave tile Lords to un- |
lerasand TINT ho considered It proper that
England should adhere to her international en- |
;agomeuts. Good faith demanded that the na-
ions pledges should DO kept. This would aeem
% ehow that If Germany engages in war with
Franco, 1t will not receive much comfort from
England Russoll's proposition, that England
should become tho ally Of Franco iu such con-
iuGcncy, in tho interests Of peace is simply at-
urd. Not to preserve tho peace. but to holp
Germany to fight France, would any such treaty
70 made; apd that is all TINT Russell oontona-
'Iated whom ho proposed it. j.. Al.
France, no doubt, thirsts for reyenge ; but
or tho present at least. there ia little danger

hat. when the King of Italy visited Bismarck at
serlin, the latter confessed to him that
