fought and Of the marchngs and countermarchings Of

the world England, a part of its inhabitants are
always found sympathzing with every cause mat
Ter how absurd II may be; and the statesmen of Eu-
rope constantly reminded by their behavior OF Car
1yes profound observation that the country peoped
by about 'thirty millions Of human boings-mosty
fools" There Is Carlist Committee with peer Of the

paying her debts Englshmen, and Englishmen Of
high rank, were found fomenting the American Of
