• M. Dentu has issued a pamphlet called " L'Empereur,
la Pologne, et l'Europe," which is said to have been written by M. Mocquard, and corrected in proof by the Emperor himself. It is couched in the true Imperial style, and reminds readers of the similar pamphlet which preceded the war in Italy. If it be really official—and M. Dentu is unusually brave if it is not—the peace of Europe depends exclusively on the Czar. The author announces distinctly that should Russia reject the terms now offered her, an Anglo-Franco-Swedish fleet will appear in the Baltic, and an Anglo-Franco-Italian fleet in the Black Sea. The Russians are bidden to remember that the lateness of the seas is no protection, for "it was on the 20th of September Franca conquered on the Alma, and at Jena France was vic- torious on October 14." The war is to be one for the rege- neration of old Poland, and the most menacing expressions are applied to Prussia. King William is to be compelled to take a side, and asked, "Will he, forgetful of the lessons of ' history, compel us to resort to another Jena to arrive at another Ededland?' He is reminded "Posterity will ask one day Iihy, during the last six years of his reign, Napoleon showed himself without mercy towards Prussia. It is because Prussia is the Power that injured him most, by compelling him to fight her and destroy her when he wished to extend, fortify, and increase her." France, adds the writer, "once her sword is drawn, will hold herself bound to liberate Lithuania as she liberated Lombardy." The official character of the pamphlet remains, of course, to be proved.
