ference while demonstrating the utility of such
reunion. she has gone slngle-handed INTO
Egypt to back up her threats and crush Turkish
influence and platonic claims on the Nile, ana
roll back Mussulman fanaticism. These ends
are as much so ia the interests of France as OF
England. But those are most blind who do not
wish to see. Old John has startled Europe by
his rousing up and proving he has plenty OF
fight in him and is perfectly Independent, while
resolved to keep clear of entanglng alliances
that req resent SO much dead weight for him.
Now it is precisely that unexpected. manly at
titude. of being able to do without them ana
being Indifferent alike to their depreciation or
their praise, which creates the soreness among
the French rather than the revival of medieval
iealousy. England has the Will to do and the
soul to dare. France has neither-at present at
all events-and the future intends TO keep her
so.
The Dutch, like the Swiss, are famous for
their public meetings or professional confer
ences, where matters are profoundly discussed,
without disturbance, and ever followed by solid
eating and drinking. Amsterdam journals con-
tain letters from the Cape, expressing regret
that England wastes men and money IN Egypt,
when such will be required to keep the Zulus
and Beers in the way they should go. Letters
from Berlin avow, that Mr.. Gladstone has cut
out Prince Bismark at Constantinople, and that
the fear is, not that Russian influence will hence
forth prevail, but that the Sultan and England
will make it up. One ever returns 1t is SAID TO
their first love. The rejoicings in honor of the
anniversary of Sedan were less gushing, that
which of course does not displease the French,
who never observed the anniversary of any of
their victories. At the review, it was not the
perfect maneuvering of the troops which excited
attention, but rather the aged Emperor-So
years old, sitting two hours on horseback under
a pelting rain, like a sub-lieutenant. Tn Prus-
slams have the fixed idea, that the French only
wait the occasion to fall on them, and that Gam-
j BETA works heaven and earth to create the OPP
portunity. The Prussians desire to consolidate
their conquests, not to make new ones they
have enough of care with the Schleswig Danes,
the Poseu Poles, and the Alsatians, though
Courland and Lithuania sigh to become German.

The prognostics of military critics here on the
conduct of the Egyptian campaign are being
verified; the contingent they laid down as neces-
sary. was 40. 600 they accuse Sir G.. Wolseley OF
