He says' he has arrived at his object, without stirring the dangers that encompassed him.' True, we believe be has arrived at his object without' giving to any Power just cause of war—Als march in this question has doebtleu been one of great prudence and circumspection, yet notwitkutanditig, we see clearly by the tone of the French Ministerial preu, that the measure took the Continental Powers by surprise, and bas occasioned much discontent. Still, frustrated as France has been by the recognition, in her secret views with Spain, the wisest step she can now take is to follow the example presented to her by the United States and England."
