      blood sacrificed so freely in the Crimea . We arc bound to France by treaties of commerce and personal friendship . Paris is as much the home of educated Englishmen aa London . In our academics we teach French , and in return , no French College is without an English Master . With the sole exception of religion ( and even on this subject the ' * advanced " schools of both countries arc , we regret to say , inceting on the common ground of infidelity ) , there is nothing to distinguish the one from the other . The French have not now better taste , or greater politeness , or more military ideas than ourselves . For the last quarter of a century we have been seeing a good deal of one another , and the more we have seen of one another , the greater has been the growth of mutual respect , confidence , and even affection . We have no wish to sec the French , the men who fought side by side with us at Alma , Inkermann , and Sebastopol , conquered by a pack of beggarly Germans . I f France goes to war , or has gone to war ( for we write this article several days before the date of publication ) , the sympathy of England will be with her . We trust that she may soon conquer or , to use a £ ood plain English word , " thrash" the Prussians—the Prussians who nearly lost for us the greatest battle of modem times by coming up so leisurely and lazily at Waterloo . We hope she may extend her frontier to the Rhine , and secure for the small German States the liberty they enjoyed before Sadowa . As for us—we shall do nothing . Our Mistress Britannia and her clerks Gladstone , Lowe , and the rest of them , are far too busy looking after the till to give even for a moment a thought to the sword . No , iv : must give up all idea of Honour , Patriot ism , and Glory , for we have sold the three of tbern for about ninepcnce-halfpenny ! P . S . —War is declared !
