Paris often presents the weak aspect of a gang of disunited politicians tearing each other's hair and kicking the slats out of the latest Cabinet. But last week's vote of 439-to-2 showed what Frenchmen do when they must.

It did, however, indirectly determine the chief policy of our Navy Department until modern times. For the sea force, which at no point had more than three thousand men and twenty ships, made its objective the attacking of British commerce, while in later wars...
