The Figaro goes a step further, and iu a leading editorial calls attention to 'the stoic resolution' of Britain, which under some cruel circum- stances becomes firmer than ever, and presents to the world a 'mag- nificent spectacle,' and concludes with the question, 'If this is not worthy of admiration, how, then, can the nation prove its greatness ?'

'The Simla continues to support 'I'atgland as s trongly as ever, and as these are the only ex- pressions of opinion favorable to England that have been noticed here since the Transvaal war began they seem worth recording.
