      The Peoples of Europe , it is fancied , having got over their fit of active energy , and grown tired of revolution , systematic attempts are made in various quarters to dispose of them after the old fashion . There is just this difference between the present day and times past , that , whereas it was necessary to keep royal combinations for territorial aggrandizement secret , lest they should be found out by royal competitors , they are now kept secret under a fear lest the People should intervene and insist upon having some voice in the matter . Formerly

      the head-quarters of the Prince ' s popularity , the great naval port . He is making decided advances in familiarizing the French people to his gradual assumption of royal styles in his demeanour and modes of speech j and at Cherbourg he distinctly suggested to the people , that , if they wish for such works as Napoleon instituted , they must give to him the same power and the same permanency ^ as the Emperor possessed . If they will stand by him , he promises them order , prosperity , and improvements ; and if we were to guess at his comparative chance of success , we should rate it rather high .

      But , in all these negotiations and manoeuverings , it is quite clear that each competing party is agitating entirely for itself , and with very small reference to the wishes or welfare of the People . The Legitimists wish to establish their idol on the pinnacle of power , and themselves round about in the sunshine of its favour ; the Orleanists are planning to take some advantage ; M . Louis Napoleon and the half-adventurous crew that aid his manoeuvres are trying to establish him and themselves . Each party appeals in turn to the old

      pre-Lords , royal or noble , disposed of Peoples at pleasure , openly and by force : they now endeavour to carry on their trade by a kind of circumvention . This makes it as difficult to understand the proceedings of the royal and diplomatic persons , while engaged in their peculiar trade , as it would be to get at a programme of burglars or ring-droppers . Something , for example , is going on about France ; but France does not know what . Even we in England , who are only lookers-on , are not

      judices , present jealousies , and prospective or local interests ; but the People—the actual desire of the majority of the nation , or of any large active section of the JPeople considered apart from , class—that is wholly set aside except in the way of resistance to be overcome—or evaded . The struggles of the People , therefore—the immense sacrifices which any people must make in revolutions , the risks run , the combats , the forbearance in the heat of victory , — all these things go for nothing . There is no party among those now active that has a sufficiently close alliance with the People to act with any devotion in

      allowed to see the game . If we might hazard a guess , we should say that the President and some of his immediate adherents , who rule over the Army and the appointment of Prefects , are engaged against a combination of the old Bourbon branch and the Orleans branch with many of the friends of " order "; the said friends of order looking back regretfully to a more legitimate style of bureaucracy than that which has displaced the old habitues in Paris to make room for parvenus .

      The didactic M . de Salvandy , —a sort of Lord Brougham en beau , — - has excited attention by the galvanic rapidity of his movements between the Count de Chambord and the Orleans family at Claremont and Richmond . The ostensible incidents of the drama are harmless enough : the descendant of Saint Louis generously orders a

      the popular interest . Any party which may exist that does seem to feel a sympathy with the nation , has neglected the necessary work of obtaining strength , by organization and by extended influence . The People is defrauded by the treachery of its pretended allies , —time-servers of the hour ; by the h . ! ficiency or laches of its friends . The activity or M . de Persigny in the North has excited more attention as it becomes more apparent . It is understood that he , the representative of France , is busied in negotiations , in which also Russia and Austria take part , to reestablish the full dominion of Prussia over Neufchatel , and

      minent place in American politics is another and darker form of the popular question . ^ Free in its citizen capacity , the American Republic is cursed with the character of a despot in its collective slaveholding capacity . We see the Times treating the recent passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill as indicating a crisis in the great question . The bill is intended to facilitate the recapture of slaves who have fled from their own states , and it is very

      arbitrary in its character . We see the announcement that a municipal law at Norfolk , permitting Negroes to make their own bargains , is to be rescinded ; the negroes having grown so " insolent , ? that a free white man finds some difficulty in obtaining a labourer for hire ! The Times says that there is a general movement among the slaves which instigates these reactionary measures j bt . t we descry no proof that the slaves are departing from their surprising and incredible patience ,

      although these rigorous measures are multiplied . Disgust at the new bill has made Mr . M'Kennan resign his seat in the Cabinet , and some of the Southern states begin to talk loudly of " nullification . " The Republicans do not seem to be quite aware of the view entertained in Europe of their conduct in evading and procrastinating the settlement of the slave question . They seem to think that all objections are answered when they say that ripjour is needed to keep down servile war with all

      its social horrors , and that the Negro belongs to an inferior race . In England we do not hold the ethnological argument to be of much account ; since we might hesitate even to drive beasts of burden if they came so near humanity as to talk and expostulate . But that which strikes us most in this evasion of the great question , is the want of foresight , of energy or even courage , to grapple with an inevitable difficulty .

      In Ireland we see the attempt at Romanist reaction in the synod at Thurles ; but nothing authentic has yet been proclaimed as to the proceedings conducted in secret . It seems , from certain overt acts , to be clear that the Romanist dignitaries are to pay implicit obedience to Rome , and are to repudiate the colleges ; the object being to impede the use of those colleges , and practically to destroy them as schools for young Ireland . It is very

      mass for the good of Louis Philippe ; the widow of Louis Philippe sends to thank the Count for his considerateness ; the Count reciprocates compliments j which now become of so important a character that M . de Salvandy thinks it necessary to combine the family of Louis Philippe with the Duchess of Orleans in his response , and it is understood that he has obtained some kind of "

      condoubtful , however , whether the assembled prelates and dignitaries of the Romish Church have any such power ; and if they fail , the flourishing of the colleges , in spite of their teeth , will be a damaging exposure of their feebleness . The crimes of our own country , numerous as the record is this week—the disasters to our shipping on the American and African coasts ; the Cape of Good Hope has been sorely visited this seasonshrink to nothing in comparison with the frightful disaster at Cracow , which is ascribed us u crime to

      so to override local parties and popular feeling m that Swiss province of the Prussian dominion . It is understood that he has made great progress , though it is as yet uncertain whether France will be able to overcome her own traditions so far as to aid in this disgraceful supplement to the treaties of 1815 . A story , however , so degrading to France needs confirmation . Denmark and Prussia are still fighting for the possession of the Schleswig-Holsteiners j he treaty of peace in Berlin , just concluded , being jparently as ineffective to prevent the war as the r ertures of the Peace Congress . The question which is assuming the most

      procession " from the family of the late King in favour of the Legitimist Pretender ; but , of course , it is without prejudice to Louis Philippe ' s heir , the Count of Paris . Meanwhile Prince Louis Napoleon is killing several birds with one stone at Cherbourg . He is gratifying the French nation by a display of naval power in the presence of English naval visitors , at the same time that he is conciliating his old associates at Gore House—certain noble yachters—by the courtesy of his welcome . He is making some progress in cutting out a presumed rival for the Presidency , the Prince de Joinville , in [ Town Edition . ]

      its Russian governor . There is too much verisimilitude in the account which represents the Russians as planning to destroy the monuments of Polish greatness .
