The Prince of wales in France.

Hone hnd nothing else to do, it would be sa interesting occupation to watch the straws oa the stream uf foreign politics and note their direcfion. Al the present moment the study of the guidas to the force and destination of the current is mtensely inleresting. do not pre- tead tc haEe Sny special views about the SxxwS ms ahe cmrentR, but they offer a, few Saeresti9lnB mAie1E zER worth heecording.

 as King It has, therefore, come upon us as q revelation that heis suspected of taking more than persDnal interest in foreign affairs. But cur impulsive neighb0Es on the other side of ghe Enxiish Channel have discovered mares aez when they say there is every reasonto be- ExFe thm1 the Prince is the medium of commu- uirz1ion beExeen the Bonapartist refugees in EagiAnd and the Bonapartist partisans in FFznce The Prince is often in Parisiust now herxnse he is the President of the English De pnrtrnens aa the Paris Exhibition. He is no dummy OGicial He has not given his name for 0EnAmenf- From the frst he has taken an artive interest in promoting the success of the show. t has been great source of satisfac- tion to the Queen to see her eldest son follow irw in the fO0tsteps of his father His associa- ti0a with the Exhibition brings him in contact with distinguished Government officials in the Frrnch capital, which is the best answer that can he given the carping politicians who affect sO regard the Prince as an active sympathizer with the Bonapartisfs. The Prince, am told is much liked by those people in France to whom his work introduces him, and there is re&son to believe that his lab0Fs will tend great Iy t0 the snccess of the Exhibition. The re- purt that it was to be postponed is authorita- lively consradicted- England will do all she can to make the event more interesting and useful It is to be hoped that between now and the opening day peace will have been pro cl&imed between Turkey and Russia; though i there are not wanting straws on the stream in- dicating other troubles ahead There is al- ready one Afghan war of bloody memory. Russia is reported as encouraging the Ameer to provoke another, and the English authorities are not unprepared for such contingency, while a co0lness between Japan and England is also being fostered by agents of the Car. Some commercial passages between the Gov eruments of Berlin and Vienna are not tending to the thorough establishment of that alliance between the EmperOs William and Francis Joseph which has been 30 much exploited in foreign jonrnnls, and has had SO great an infiu- ence on English policy. There are not want ing prophess who consistently speak of ''the coming European war;" and who blame Eng land for noa forming alliances in view of gen eral c0nflagFation. - Correspondence W.
