is, in this instance, if our eastern neighbour is
not included in the guarantee; which is so far
from being the case that the treaty, on the
contrary, is a source of menace and distrust to him.[1]

With respect to certain treaties of alliance,
whose object is to collect the greatest
possible number of bayonets
as a mutual security
against other powers, who, on their side, seek
to protect themselves by uniting their forces,
nobody can see in them anything else than a
guarantee for an armed peace, which, by the
necessity of its nature, leads to war.

If, on the contrary, by peace treaties are
meant such international contracts as are not
written in blood
; such as relate to trade and
commerce, industry, art, science and so on, it
would be in vain to seek for a single instance


[1] In this treaty, which was concluded at Stockholm,
Nov. 21st, 1855, the King of Norway and Sweden
bound himself not to resign to Russia, or to barter with
her, or otherwise allow her to possess, any portion of the
territory of the united kingdoms, nor to grant to Russia
right of pasture or fishery, or any similar rights, either on
the coast of Norway or Sweden. Any Russian proposal
which might be made under this head must be made
directly to France or England, who then by sea and land
must support us by their military power. A glorious
contrast to the declaration of neutrality, Dec. 15th, 1853!
