straightforward and upright. a little trickery
was venlal, while French duplicity on the otner
hand was chronic and inexcusable..
Lord Palmerstou heard with Joy the news of
| Guzots fall, and writes 10 a curiously rreJu-
diced way about one Of the most loyal and hon
est Ministers France ever nad. "Guzot fancied
| that with parliament In his pay, and majority
gained by corruption, no could control the
| popular will" The truth was that the English
| secretary could not use Guizot, as he hoped to
| use the inexperienced heads OF the new Govern
ment. Accordingly, upon the proclamation OF
| the Republic, he orders the English Am bassador
| to remain at bis post, aud makes II bis own
| business to prevent Europe from intermeddling
In the affairs OF France. Palmerston moralizes
| on Louis Philippe. who had passed through all
| human viclsstudes from the status OF school
master to the pomp Of a throne" bat alone OF
| all the English statesmen would not 90 and pay
his respects In misfortune TO monarch whom
he had lately visited In the Tuileres. He was
never seen at Cermont.
Those who had come to the surface OF power
| In France wefo not ungrateful to the English
| Minister for his recognition. When the Irish
rebels, OI3rien at their head, came to ask the
support OF the Provisional Government. Lam r

| alton to interfere In the domestic concerns of
| a county with which II desired to remain at

/ his Ambassador. "Sow much obliged we are by
| his perfect conduct toward the Irish deputa-
tion. His reply was worthy OF a gentleman"
| In the sane letter in which the Irish Viscount
condescends to invest Lamartine with the Il 10
| OF gentleman, he mentions that he had lately
had Guizot, then refugee, to dinner, but
took care" he says, at did not get into the
| newspapers"
While Europe was shaken to its foundations
| by the revolutions OF 4S, Palmerston evinced
great sagacity, both by the attitude which he
assumed aud Ia his forecast Of events. lie had
decided that England would give active protec-
| ton only to Belgium In that country
| should be menaced by Republican France. He
already discerned the liueaments OF new Bu

aGetmany more consolidated and better forti-

he SAYS In a letter to King l. opoid at the very

turn events may take In that unhappy count v.
For years the poop in power have heen at woik

Now the power has fallen into the hands OF a
