Tnls may lo goPd lor hn-tua-iity generally; hut it is not good far Austria, Prussia;, or England; atd we are, tlierefohf, quite prepared to believe that the old conspiracy of theO enemies of human freelom isou foot again. But ntoro signifieatit, still, of sudden change in the destinies of lvurope, Is tbe secret alliance betwepa Pnuwinuiu..L : of whoso existence there can tie no doubt; whatever. With certain diplomatists not over friendly to the Auglo-Snxon, the urgent question is the expulsion of the Turk from Europe. On this good work we doubt not, tho Muscovite apd the Gaul are resolved. Syria needs the pro-tecting pro-tecting arm ol Franepr Egypt is French already. 'Ami nearly the whole northern African Coast is under Gallic dominion" Doubtless, it is of fate Umt Itussia should Imvb all the Eastern K-tropean Cow, even down to Constantinople; and If this must be, the sooner it is done tho better ; Bui then, there. Is Polaud. Bussia too, has her Ireland. Yet, thCy gay' Alexander has no objection to tho Polish "autonomy." There is smothered dis-t nflictipu.amongst the Poles at present-1 ' and twice already has the blood" of the j ; citizens been shed on the streets of Warsaw, War-saw, Out ,t is whispered that the 0zar , would be willing to form Polahd into- nn 1 IudeH!inletit Kingdom, under a Bussiau Prince. Still to effect even thlj goodly , consummation, it will be necessary to wrest Posen froitlPraa,niM'lGallicIafroui t tlm Austrian. Most-natural, then, that these two German jiowers-ihonld tremble at thought uf this Fra'oco-itusslan alliance Friendship between ijie llussinti uud the! Gaul means, however, not merely the dts-i tneiubermeiit of the Austrian power and ! the crippling of Prussia: itiuenus the ilnui ' cxtinctiun of wliat is called the Turkish Etnpire, and the destroetiun (amid tlie joy of msjit and angels) of Euglisb iower in the Mediterranean. That these alliances have como round again, we doubt not. But, whether they have or not, war in Europe "is Jmmineut; and for this we should nil bo prciMred Tie Irishman. 1 |
