I take it CO be very significant that tho Wlasette
d« France, of a late date, inaiats that the peace
footing of that country ‘‘most aot be less than
GOO 000 ]|pen to be under arms at a month’s no
tice,” and that its peace fleet, whieh it claims to
be e^uo/ now t« the active fle^t of Eapland,
bo f' first ia the w®rld.” Then, there is much
eoqaetiiog with Aatjtri*, macu toying with dus-
sia and oven Prai>!ia Eoglaad sees, coupre-
hen 5f", and itas t) be extremely vigilant, for it is
she ai.me who h«s ftoything to loee.
Ar, an illustratiou os the “feeUag’^of insecurity,
I give yo« this quotation fr«m what is echoed,
and rc-e«hoed, in high quarters. I heard it, no
longer ago than last Friday, repeated by a dis-
tincrnished oommeraial Baronet, in thg vestibule
of the Hoase of Lords:
“’®'hat Bcuroiaf: woald t»>ere ho tbroughoat the lard

And that is a result which would immsdiRtely
and inevitably follow “a trouble" with the (Jnite'i
Sti(e3. Two or three Confederate «rux2W3 have
been eaongh to sweep direct Federal commerce
from the seas, at>d into our arms. Wom’d not a
d 'sen or two United States craiaars f’rci our
commerce into tho arms oi Franco? Bat it would
do more irretrievable mischief; for it would give
France the maritimo sapremaoy she pants for,
and the coveted lead in 'he Mediterranean. Were
it not for this overwhelming consideration, her
other interests, and the partialitv of our pf'ople,
would have, long ago, led fiaglacd to espouse
yoar quarrel. France eagerly Waits the do»«tiay
fhj loi>ks for to make her mistre-o of Earopa by
seo and land Eaglaui faars to afford tho chance;
and that would b« given, if she recogaiaed the
Confederacy alono, or in the way F.-ance advises.
Why does ajt FraDoe do it oLouff or, if with
England, why refuse to take the risks conjointly
with Eaglaod? Tfte reason is too obvious t>
dwell on. Both natiocs are, it you please, selSeh
al^ko. But, rc^m'^mber, E'lgland has everything
to peril—France little or nothin to iose, but
everythiog to.gain

through the ditch and scaled tae parapets of tbe

many, failed to check the advaioe, a::d the work

ihe saidea sweep of our veterf'.as, surfeode-'ed in

of age, arming themselves with muskets—tha
cartridge boxes on their back» nearly as large as
