      dirty foreigners , carrying a cap of liberty on the top of a pole , were wont to put in an appearance . The mob did not know what they meant , did not know that they were specimens of the men who made such great use of the guillotine in years gone bydid not know that they only required

      sup-0 C ^ - j , - - - - - 0 0 ^ a port to wreck London . These dirty foreigners , if they ever appear again , should be ducked in the fountains of Trafalgar square—it would certainly be hard upon the water , but that is a matter of minor importance . With the lesson of Paris before our eyeswe should be careful to prevent any encouragement of

      , an English mob . We must not be indifferent to the danger of the roughs . In the hour of need we should find these gentry rising and committing any number of excesses—accordingly we must teach them that they must not rise . The instruction can be easily knocked into their heads with the aid of a few police

      staves . The sooner it is done the better . Before we leave the subject of the French disturbances , we cannot refrain from referring to the present position of the Emperor Napoleon . For years we have opposed his Majesty to the best of our ability 0 . We have done so honestly rand

      consistcntly , but this is not the time to return to the charge . In spite of the cowardly attacks upon the Emperor in the " leading journal , " we are quite sure that it is thoroughly un-English " to hit a man when he is down . " Whatever grievances we may have against Napoleonthe French have none—there is no

      , excuse for their treason . When his Majesty is once more reestablished on his throne we will ( if occasion calls for it ) attack him again . We do not regret a single cartoon about him , we do not retract a single line , but this is not the hour for reproaches or abuse . He is ill , unlucky , deserted . He may be ruined , but

      he is not disgraced . His people , who owe him so much , have rebelled against him in his hour of need—this will not steal away the glory attaching to his name . When he has overcome his present troubles we will criticise him again , but now is the time for sympathy , not attack . We

      feel sure that the English people , the large-hearted , generousminded English people , will join us in showing sincere respect to Napoleon in his trouble , to the greatest Ruler of the Nineteenth Century , as he stands bathed in the last rays of the setting sun , of that sun that may never rise again upon his failing fortunes !
