he succeeded in bribing his captors,
and made his way to Wcodford with his
story. Fortunately, his bride and his
friends believed him, and he was married
next morning. The story seems true, and
the popular explanation is that some one
interested in preventing the marriage
intended to consign the rector to a mad
house. The necessary doctors, however,
could not be found, and the agents in the
plot,not receiving the certificates, grew
frightened, and accepted money down.
The unlucky clergyman was able i'll his
journey to appeal repeatedly to the by
ISLANDERS, and once to a policeman, but no
one interfered. Brigandage, clearly. is
possible in England.

THE CONTINENTAL JEALOUSY
OF ENGLAND.
(FrOm the SPECTATOR

The sleepless jealousy Of England
felt and, indeed, expressed by oil
Continental nations is not SO entirely
without excuse as our countrymen
imagine. Besides the natural, though
rather base feeling Of envy for a
people who enjoy perfect security
and all the power they want, without
enduring the military burden every
other race in Europe is compelled to
bear, the Continentals have many
bitter ~provocations. They judge us,
as we judge them, greatly from a
study Of leading articles they make
the same mistake as we do about the
representative value ofjournals, quot
ing the Morning Post and the Stan
dard, for example, as if they had
equal influence, just as we quote the
Pays and the D6batS and they, like
us, constantly misapprehend h estand-
ing Of public speakers. Accepting
articles and speeches as evidence,
they naturally decide that a large
section of the English Press and
many popular orators watch all
Continental peoples with the keenest
suspicion and dislike, are always
attributing to them t%reacherous
designs, always egging on the British
Government to precautions and
espionage and petty hostilities, al
ways suggesting war tariffs, always
belittling Or suspecting their favourite
leaders. 1t is not Russia now which
the English Press is assailins, but
every Power. M. de Giers, in the
eyes of these writer's has his plots,
and NJ. Bartholemy St. HiIaire his
plots, and Baron Haymerle his plots,
while Prince Bismarck is all plot.
The Government is adjured to watch
Russia in China and the Balkans,
France in Tunis and Egypt, Italy in
the Red Sea, and Germany every
where, to send fleets here and fortify
coal stations there, ard suppress
little States in a third place, till as
they read, the notion that the preoc-
cupation Of England is aggrandise-
ment grows with foreigners into as
fixed a belief as the idea that she
more or less hates everybody. For
it must not be forgotten that, except
in the most isolated cases, like the
occupation of Bosnia by Austria, the
English Press never sympathlses with
the advance of any State; cannot
bear Russia to annex Bokhara,
though the annexation terminates
frightful cruelties-the regular Box
hara method of chastising a slave
was to blind him-is enraged at the
French occupation of Tunis, though
Tunis was, like every Turkish pro-
vince, a prey to incurable maladmi-
n~istration grows abusive over petty
Italian efforts at development i'll the
Red Sea; is quite jealous for the
independence Of Tonquin; and looks
nskance even at the Austrian march

that Spain should go to Morocco.

is still almost inconceivable-the
nations are catching the idea that,
as an Italian paper expressed it, the
culture may have nothing for them"
They have most of them achieved
the direction of their own destinles.
and are looking leisurely ahead, and
see no way of expansion anywhere.
They are to remain what they are OF
to decline, while other people are
racing forward. The changes of
recent years have solicited the
boundaries of European States,
Austria excepted, until the nations
with vitality in them have a sense
of being throttIed. 1t is this feeling
more than any other which has in
fuenced Germany in her curious
policy in the Balkans; Italy in her
Albanian intrigues, and in her fit
Of temper about Tunis; Spain in
her anger about Morocco; and
France in her entire policy in Norti
Africa. Moved by this feeling, the
nations look abroad, and see that
England and her children are every
where all over the world, that where
ever Europeans can work and mul-
tiply, there great English communi-
ties are growing up. Indeed, the
growing visibility of those commu-
mites, their influence on commerce,
their confidence in their own future,
is one CT the causes in operation
which heeet Continental jealousy.
1t is not pleasant to Il Frenchman
to compare Algeria with Australia.

given up, not because they thought
the Beers could beat the English,
for they made no such blunder, but
because they thought the English
policy Of Colonial expansion had for
once received u check. 10 English
men-who know that their rulers
refused Egypt and were delighted
to be rid of the Transvnal, that they
are even morbidIy afraid OF new
burdens, that, except as Threatening
the great Asiatic route, they care
little about the expansion of any
Pow9r-thls jealousy appears utter
~ unreasonable, causelesS, and pro-
voking. They feel, when it is ex-
pressed, as if they were being cau.e-
lessly abused and misrepresented.
The foreign jealousy is no doubt
excessive, and, az regards Egypt in
particular, injurious but neverthe-
less it has a basis in visible facts, and
it is fostered by the language of those
who condemn it. 1t France held

the United States will annex Mexico,
though it knows that there are ten
millions Of people there, and that the
Mexicans once made voters would
make American politics impossible.
We do not say that this attitude is
wrong. On some points, notably
Egypt, our own convictions are
equally English and insular; but we
note this permanent tone as one that,
coupled with the English readiness
to acquire anything anywhere, deep
ly affects Continental opinion. For
be it remembered, this tone is not
exclusively literary. A large mum
Der of politicians, including many
Peers, whose Importance is exaggera"
ted on the Continent, repeat in public
precisely the same ideas, and declare
any passive Ministry a Ministry
of traitors; and every now and then
a Government arrives at power which
carries the forward" views into
action, snaps up territories here and
there, declaims about English inte-
rests in the most unlikely places,
and utiIiscs the jealousies Of the
Powers to stop any one Of them from
advancing. No friendship, it is per-
ceived, avaiIs against this feeling,
which in a moment converts an
entente c0rdiale of twenty years
into an angry suspiciousness. The
popular jealousy thus aroused
abroad is OF the keencst kind,
and it is fed by the endless
suspicious which Continental politi-
clans Of the second rank cultn ate as
a kind Of wisdom, till, among the
half Ignorant, the notion that Eng
lands one policy is TO grasp every
thing in the interest OF her trade,
and prevent the expansion of every
Power in the interest of her domi-
mon, becomes a fixed idea, Every
thing, say the Portuguese, "goeS
into the English basket" The En-
gliSh, say the Germans, are an in
terestrd" people. England" say she
French is always in the way"
i" England" murmur the Italians,
"wilI let no one have anything worth
having" II never met an English
man." said a Dutch politician, " who
did not think he had a reversion in
the Universe" England is selfish,
says all the world. And the effect
of all that is that English advance is
never regarded with pleasure, that
England never succeeds when she
submits any question to arbitration,
and that when she is compelled to
advance, as she might be in Egypt,
all Europe is either silently or &c
lively opposed to her professions, or
if any State supports them, it does
so in hope Of compensation. That
the statesmen are equally jealous,
we do not say, for they know the
tone of the English Government
better; but still, even they are fretted
by English opposition whenever any
movement affects the British cOmmu-
nication with China, that is, affects
a line cutting the world in half
and Sthey, better than the nations,
understand that England is never
powerIess. They may talk and do
talk of her folly in keeDing no Army.

occurs:
"No man has been more entirely misunder-

he should have wandered over England and

is this: Among the myriads of children born

by her, and from whom all men are descended

Olden strain. Now, for such a man. born in a
country like England, where the modern fanati-
which can only be called maniacal, what is there
left but to try for time the Gypsy's tent? On
the continent house-wOrshp is strong enough
in all conscience; but in France. in Spain. in
Italy, even in Germany, people do think of some
thing beyond the house. But here, where there
are no romantic crimes, to get genteel house,
to keep Cor rum genteel house, or to pretend
to keep Cor rum genteel house, is the great
first cause of almost every British delinquency,
