has addressed the following circular to the
Diplomatic agents Of France abroad: "My

This system, inaugurated by the wisdom

good relations which France maintains
with other governments. As for myself
shall apply all my strength to this object
and for assistance in this patriotic task !

most pernicioss OF the day. Asan exam
pie the speaker referred TO his native Ire
land, saying that in 1882 the Irish Parlia-

for twenty years Ireland was the most
prosperous country on the facs Of the
globe, but England. jealous Of Ireland's
growing prosperity, forced free trade up
on that country. !. and the result every one
