EIJIMPISAN A IIMANIESTI4.—The Courtier du Dinsanche publishes an article strongly insisting on the advantages of disarmament for the different nations of Europe. In the course of its observations it says :—" The present armaments of Europe are purely defensive. Moreover, they have nut been taken with a view to the internal peril with which each or such a Power may be menaced, lint to a war between State and State—a European war. The annual expenses for war of the different Powers are now pretty nearly as follows :—England, 1,1 10,000.000 I.; Austria, 500,630,00 f.; Prussia, 170,034,000 f.; Russia, 524.0C4,043 f.; France, 625,000,030 f.; Turkey, 200.013,0 EN/ f. • the petty , German Stites. 300.C10,000 f.; Spain, 308,000 000 f. ; and Belgium. Portugal, Switserlaiel. Lc., 800,000,0001. ; Total, in round figures, 4,3.10,000410 W. ! Ten years , back the military budget of England wee only a third of what it is now. Austria, in 1852, disbereed for her army Wm than cue-half of the 54.0,1X3,0001. she now speride and it is to be noted that, in 1817. that Power dispensed for its general budget less than it now di.. bums in the War Deportment alone. The same incream, has taken place proportionately in all the other European budgets. Europe keeps at this moment under arms 2,300,000 soldiers! She had, no doubt, not so many as at the wars of the first Empire, and yet she is now at pose! The cost of maintaining a soldier Is ealeulated at If. 25e. a-dey, or, on an sever, at 5001. a-year • and consaquentle. 2.31 1,000 soldiers absorb, unprotinctively, nearly 5,090,000.0001 per annum The difference between this figure and that of 4,500,C 10,000 f. above-mentioned prises from all the espenses of the army rot being paid in cash, for the cost of barracks, Its.. ke." The article terminates in these words : " Either Europe will disarm and save herself, or she will remain in her heavy armour, and—awl the wow quinces are easy to divine."
