EEMI=II
The breaking out of a now war in
Turkey would most seriously embarrass
England ; she would be unable to effect
anything, or retain any of her prestige
by fume, and, therefore, her lion's skin
being too short, she would have to eke
it out with the fox's after the manner
of Richelieu. But whether in that
game of finesse, she could compete with
her great rivals, and stock the cards in
the rubber of all fours between the
Courts of London, Paris, St. Peter*.
burg and Berlin, is more than doubtful.
It looks as if the French Emperor and
the Russian Czar had ()aught the Brit
ish Cabinet in the toils, with serious af
fairs to disturb them, humodiato sue
cora and heavy munitlans required, and
all their available troops already pre-oc
cupied, while constant calls are making
for more. If this has been the pre-eon
wired plan to teach England her vul
notable point and show her weakness,
unless leaning on the arm and resources
of Louis Napoleon, the crisis has been
shrewdly chosen, gild the domesoc con
ferenoe at the Isle of Wight between
Victoria And the French Empercir may
be "productive of results," ajs_the Del
phic oracles of modern diplomacy use
the phrase. From our neutral stand
point the entanglement has become in
teresting, and we shall watch the issue
with more of curiosity than sympathy
with any of the parties.
/Cad` The York Gazette says : We see
it stated, by one of the opposition
prints, that Gen. Packer, in his speech,
in the Court-house on Monday evening
of last week, applied the term " aboli

mistake. Gen. Packer, as will be testi
fied by the hundreds who beard him,
did no such thing. We Ourselves heard
the remarks of Gin. P.--ive listened
attentively—and tile only mention of
Wilmot we heard was when his name
was necessarily introduced in connex

questions affecting the Missouri Com

these questions Wilmot acted with the
