They dream of universal dominion and the resurrection of the old Roman Empire; in order to ruin England they prey upon her commerce in the East, and under- mine her relations with Persia and Turkey. As reeards us Frenchmen, the Czar has more friends here than he is aware of. The bourgeois class assert with an air of profound knowledge : " Let him take Con- stantinople, England may have Egypt, and we will take the Ehine frontier. " These stupid middle class politicians are still bent on the Rhin...e frontier; it is impossible to make them understand that we have no interests in the North, and that the day Russia and England divide the Mediterranean among themselves France ceases to be a great power. An accession of territory, simply, would not increase our power an inch ; what we do require is a position on the Mediterranean which would mean the prow of our vessels turned towards the East and the development of our maritime resources.
