From the moment Count Orloff and Baron Brunow ex. sconced themselves as Russian Pienipotentiaries in this metropolis, an insidious but most powerful lever was brovght to bear onFrance. To detech her from the ,alli- ance was not tobe thought of The profound policy of Napoleon was teo well appreciated for that. But much might be done to weaken thiaalliance. Count Orloff has been in this theactive and unscrupulous agent; Baron Brunow rather the passive. The means used have been the keenest, most polished, most insidioualy penetrating imeginadle, Mere flattery would have never done here, but deference, fenced by a lofty amour propre, to de laid aside with mag sanimous humiliation at the critical mo- ment, might effect much. This has boen the cheval de vataiile, bestriding which the grim and stalwart Orloff hae charged the gates of the Tuilerica. At the Hoteldes Etran- geres~arourd that green cloth where sit his brother Plenipoteatiaries—ho has held his owa with a fixity and rigidity of purpose which has more than once produced axxisty that the hoped for peaceful solution would be mised. The arguments of Lord Clarendon, his great gpponent, he tex combatied with such wonderful ingenuity and plausibility, that there often remained in his antagonist’s hands nothing but ao oppeslto the present formidable armameni of England The Karl of Ciarendon is the very pick of courtesy. Per- haps ® more refined specimen of an English geatleman could not be found, and anything in the shape of a threat eculd scarcely be extracted from his lips. Bat with that tkilfulness of fence which has already raised his nae to ahigh repute among the distinguished diploma ists of Lis time, he would contrive to leave the question exactly where the argumentum ad terrorem ought to begin, and then drop the conversation with that courteous, gentle, smile so peculiar tohim. Of course the Russisn Count krows all about it, even the precise language which might be used; and it {sat this moment that tt pleases him to receive some of the old arguments, simply clothed in a new dress, from Count Walewskt, as if they wore entirely new, that he may at once yield to the French Plenipo- tentiary what he has so stoutly refused to the English. Not from apy greater deference to ore than the other. Not atitof it. But Napoleon’s nominee has had the merit of striking the light into his benighted mind. ‘The same artistic feat has more than once been perform- ed in tle Cabinet of the Tuileries, With a sfagular just- ness and copiousnesa of languege, he bas been heard to tpeak of the power of France and Russta, when in a sta‘o of amity, which has sent every one away with the convic. tion that anything more fraticidai than a quarrel was not to be conceived, ‘To the Ministers’ wivas—plebians as most of them are—he will talk in a strain that makes them believe the old Muscovite noblesse do nothing but dream and speak of them all day and all night. Bat it is believed that, tite-d tite with Napotcon himself, he bas, afier discoursing sweet words that would have cbatmed any other than a phiegmatic sovereign out of his eeyen senses, yielded his own opinions with sach a winsome deference, that Napoleon must have been more than human not to be influenced by it. Who knows all this? it will be asked. No one, certainly, by his own ears, tr two more reservid men than the Emperor and (rloif will mot easily be found. Bat the Count is known to enter the Impérial en bivet; to stay there for more than en bour; Hg the rext day Lord Ciarendon’s demands at the Conference are more modified, Count Orloff {4 more conciliatiog, Count Walewski more than ever ora bly inclined and the Plenipotentiaries of Turkey and Sardinia more glum. The truth is, Napoleon is every day made more sensible ot France’s desire for peace Througnout it has been the carling wish of bis heart, if Providence voucnsafed him a son, that bis birth and peace should be simultancous, Count Orloff was tha firs: to covgratulate bim on bis good fortune; (Count Orloff was the first to give voice to the secret hope in the Imperial breast that no obstacle should come from Russia t> the wish of his soul; Count Orloff was the first to say that had the original cause of quarrel been left to the decision of Nicholas and Napoleon, the sword bad never been drawn. The consequence of all this is, that since the birth of the Prioce Imperial, England, at the Conference, has been compara: tively Jeft in the lurch. It is mightily against her will that Prussia found ® voice there at all. Lord Paimerston at one time felt so strongly on the mat- ter that he had very nearly recalied Lord Clarendon. And rinoe the introduc.ion of Baron de Manteuffel and Count de Halzfeldt, the Prassian [’'lenipotentiaries, Itas- tia may be aaid to have been in clover, and to have had the field pretty much to herself.

As far a5 we aie persoually concerned, we hayes never couneelied a war with the United States.

They bad already estabiished steamers cn the river and Iake, as well as a road over the 14 miles which ccnstituted the only intervening land between cne ocean and the other, When they found that Great Britain would have nothing t» do wath them, it evidently beeame their object gradually to use their powers so as to estadilsh @ per- manent sway end Amoericavize the entire coun- ty. The project for caval, which, by attracting the attention of Europe, would have militated against 'bis, was accordingly dropped.
