Oux neighbours over the water have probably more than one serious reason for facilitating the naturalization of foreign residents, which, although nut mentioned on a recent occasion in the Corps Legislatif, may very well have influenced the Government and the majority. The principle of naturalization is eminently liberal and humane, and consonant to the spirit of an age in which, thanks to the conquests of science and invention, seas and mountains have ceased to divide popula tions, and time and distance are suppressed, and the thoughts of men are not only widened but winged by the silent messenger, flashing from coast to coast and from city to city, and freighted with the good or evil fortunes of the whole human family. This instantaneous universal intercourse is insensibly operating a revolution in the thoughts and feelings of mankind, which a few years hone will make the idea of nation ality a barbarous anachronism. Already it is beginning to break down the artificial barriers which war and diplomacy erected ; frontiers are beoomi ig Custom-house fictions, and the veteran functionaries who pottered over passports are among the pensioned curiosities of the past. _ _ . Freedom of trade and treaties of commerce have established a new international reciprocity of commercial interests. In the capitals and chief commercial centres of France and England the same firms are doubly or trebly represented, and not only among the great bankers and money dealers of the financial world, but in wholesale and even retail branches of ordinary trade, mem bers of one family aro found making themselves at home in different countries, and qualifying themselves at the shortest notice as British, German, and French patriots. So rapid and in cessant is this process of mutual exchange, so close and constant the habit of intercommunica- tion in this cosmopolitan age, that nations which half or a quarter of • century ago would have sprung at each other's throats at the sight of a red rag, now laugh at the folly of experimental izing on their own vile bodies as food for the com petition of gunmakers and the glory of a few Princes and generals. To the classes whom treaties of commerce enrich any war in Europe is a civil war. It is worse than civil war, because it is fought in cold blood, and without the passion that makes men insensible to the recoil of the injuries they inflict. In nothing is the action and reaction of the industrial upon the moral forces of civilization more remarkable than in this community of rival interests which is turning the old hostilities into harmonious emulation, and the Champ de Mars into a bazaar. Happy the day when a hundred thousand soldiers wage a mimic war before a balcony full of monarchs, and the people who pay the blood-tax fill the pit and gallery, and not the stage I People who have watched the course of opinion in France of late years have observed a growing indifference to military glory. Possibly the living presence of a NAPOLEON on the throne has emancipated his subjects from the glamour of the name Perhaps two European wars in sixteen years and three dis tant expeditions have suggested to some ingenuous minds the impious question, cui bout) 1 At any rate, the peace movement is undeniable. And though there may be enough of the old leaven in the country to make it necessary for a military Government to flatter the fancies of the bar racks, it can hardly be doubted that the EMPULOR'S general policy and personal disposition point to peace, and have tended to make peace popular and profitable to the majority of the nation. His domestic policy, in its commercial and economic relations, has favoured the interests of peace, and promoted a taste for peace. Nor have the results of his wars and his foreign expeditions done much to counteract this sal•tary tendency. The Natu ralization Bill, upon which we commented the other day, would seem to contemplate a long period of tranquillity. It is not on the eve of a furious contest that strangers are invited to change their country, and to become candidates fur conscription under an adopted Hag. Nor, indeed, is the temptation to claim the rights of citizenship very strong in a country where every adult male is liable to mili tary service, and to forced celibacy, or to a heavy fine, at the age when he might reasonably prefer to be marrying and seeking his fortune in plain clothes. The scheme of army reorganiza tion, which is to make a force of 800,000 men the normal peace establishment, is scarcely of a nature to seduce a German, an American, a Dutchman, or an Englishman resident in France to divest himself of his native allegiance on the chance of picking up a marshal's baton in a war for the " revindication " of some natural frontier. Why should even an Italian, or a Spaniard, or a Portuguese, who has resided in France three years, whether for buainess or for pleasure, be desirous of sacrificing the immunities he enjoys as a stranger, to lose himself in the rank and file of a French army 'I If no thing could be more seasonable than a Natu ralization Bill in the year of the great inter national federation of art and industry in the Champ de Mara ; nothing could be less congenial to such a measure than the Army Reorganization Bill, which follows it, and the effects of which it was perhaps, more or less consciously, designed to counteract by the infusion of new blood into the native population. This want of new blood is beginning to be seriously felt in France. It might be too much to say that there was a positive de cline in the population of France. That there is a positive arrest of the natural development of the population is proved by the most authentic and undeniable official statistics. In thirty depart ' ments we believe there is a decrease of popula tion ; but this would only indicate one of those migratory fluctuations which in a greater or less degree are continually occurring in all countries, and are ruled by what may be called the tidal movements of industry. But taking the country as a whole, the normal growth of population is visibly arrested in France, and that physical de generescence which has been observed in our own manufacturing districts is lamentably conspicuous in the number of conscripts who are rejected for deformity, stunted stature, or disease. It may be easily imagined that a military system which snatches the flower of all the youth of the nation from their homes and the healthy pursuits of agriculture and industry, and sentences them for the best years of their manhood to the wasting servitude and excitement of garrison and barrack life, has something to do with this decline and degenerescence which the population tables reveal. Other and deeper causes, which lie at the very root of the national vitality, might perhaps be suspected. If with the population tables before him the Emperor of the FRENCH de liberately proposes to raise the army to a peace establishment of 800,000 men, no wonder he wants " new blood," and would fain transfuse it into the exhausted veins of the home-born population by the proms of naturalization. The wonder would be that the process should prove effectual. France is a great enchantress. Her charms and her seductions make her the CLEOPATRA of nations. Her language, her wit, her taste, her irtellect, her sentiment, her cynicism, her self-assertion—all that is so exquisitely sym metrical, luminous, and penetrating in her finely tempered genius, make all civilized society her lover and her slave. But, like the favourite type of her literature, she is loved as the mistress, not SA the wife. There have been momenta in her his tory when all the world rushed with an irresistible ardour of admiration to her feet--when to be &French citizen was to be a lawgiver to humanity. But these were moments when she was not the CLEOPATRA, but the SIBYL. At the cost of what long and dreary periods of lassitude, and self-abandonment, and loss of dignity and self-respect, has she risen to the rap ture of these moments of freedom ! and during these intervals, renowned it is true for gigantic feats of arms, and a prodigious splendour of luxury, and monumental constructions, who among the admirers of France would willingly have ex changed the immunities of a guest for the honours of a citizen or a subject ? Imperialism may be a delightful rttime for foreign residents in France to live under ; but when they are asked to become naturalised subjects of the Second Empire, they may remember the reply of the gallant old bachelor, who was asked why he did not marry a charming person at whose house he passed the leisure hours of every day—" But where am I to " pass my evenings t " THE time is not far distant when it will be ne cessary to come to some understanding, based on comprehensive principles, as to the position which our Government is to take up towards those foreign States which rob our people by borrow ing their money and then paying neither interest nor principal. The number of governments which have broken faith with the English creditor is by this time considerable. Some have openly confis cated the property entrusted to them, and some re pudiate ; while others, without taking the trouble to do either, content themselves with simply not paying. The last case which has come before the public is that of Venezuela, tho Go vernment of which, three years ago, ob tained a loan from England through the General Credit Company, assigning as security the export duties of the Republic, which were to be paid into the hands of the British Consul. Twice the payments have been suspended by de crees, the Government wanting the money for its own purposes. The lenders are indignant, and, as usual, carry their complaints to the Foreign-office. It is said that Lord STANLEY is not averse from taking some action in the metter. But what action ought to be taken ? Is it to bo understood that the war power of this country is as a rule to be at the service of those who have been so unfortunate as to lend their money to a dis honest government T Unless we are prepared to affirm this principle and to apply it universally, it is not clear what the Government can do. The cir cumstances under which these breaches of faith take place should be considered. We lend our money with a freedom and facility not found in any other nation. We are ready to effect • loan with almost anybody who happens to be tempora rily at the head of a government, without much caring to inquire whether we are dealing with a settled people having that sense of community which is one of the notes of a true nation. In most of these small South American republics every general is a politician, and almost every politician is • general, and power changes hands very often and very suddenly. Every president or dictator desires, no doubt, to uphold the public credit, but he reasons in this way :—" If public credit is to be maintained, " it is absolutely necessary that a strong govern " ment should be established ; but I am the only " person capable of consolidating public order and " prosperity ; it is therefore for the creditor's in " terest that I should take every measure neces " wary for that purpose, even to the extent of " temporarily employing his dividends." What can the FOREIGN MINISTER of England do in such a case f A proud Government is accessible on the side of its honour ; a strong Government may be threatened in its power ; but a struggling Govern ment may as well fall after confiscating the pro perty of the public creditor as before. Any con ceivable government of Venezuela would employ the export duties pledged to England in defending its own existence, if it were placed in the alterna tive of doing so or perishing. To a foreign creditor it may seem that nothing can better justify the use of belligerent force than the non-payment of debt, but the attempt to act on this view might lead us into very serious difficulties with third parties. It is found difficult to make a railway company pay its just debts, although its property lies ob vious to the sheriff, because the strict enforcement of the law would disturb more or greater interests than it would satisfy ; and the same is much more true of a Government, on which the prosperity of a country depends, and which a very little addi tional pressure would often destroy. We fear that there is no effectual relief for the British creditorto be expected from this source. Nor, perhaps, on the whole, is it desirable that persons should be en couraged to lend money to foreigners of whom they know little or nothing, trusting to the ability of their own Government to secure the payment of the interest. It is better that the lender should be led to look for security to the character and resources of the borrower ; and where either of these are not of the highest class or quality, to protect himself by an enhanced rate of interest as an insurance of his risk. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Times regards the wisdom of the resolve of the House of Commons last night to draw the line of deprivation of one representative at boroughs with 10,000 instead of 7,000 inhabitants, as indisputable, and as a very moderate step. A more important point is the manner in which the seats shall be distributed, and here the Times defends the system of allowing a voter to accumulate or distribute his votes at his discretion. This, it contends, would make the privilege of the voters we enfranchise real by securing for all of them direct representation in the re presentative body. In another article, however, the Times protests against Mr. Mill's plan for the uniform represen tation of county electors, and says that such a house as that imagined in his scheme would be a Babel, a Lilliput, a chaos, and nothing more. Viewing the effect which the schemes of enfranchise ment must have on schemes of redistribution, the Dade I News ends it difficult to believe that a man so acute as Mr. Disraeli can have thought that the scheme of redis tribution which he proposed in the middle of March would be acceptable in the end of May. The house, however, did not pledge itself to the entire scheme of Mr. Laing in accepting the duds of it. The new mem bers must be assigned so as to preserve an equitable balance, not simply between boroughs and counties, but between different counties and boroughs ; and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer must bear this in mind in the min of propositions which he has promised to bring forward for dealing with the new seats. The Past thinks it not improbable that the remainder of Mr. Laing's scheme, giving one-half of the 52 seats to counties, will substantially be accepted. The Herald says that though the decision was not a party one, it will embark the house upon a sea of troubles and delay in an awkward manner the passing of the bill. The Standard, on the oontrary, thinks that the success of Mr. Laing's amendment will facilitate the progress of the measure. Mr. Disraeli, the Telegraph feels certain, stands no chance of obtaining assent to his proposed increase of mem ben. As things are, the house is acting as a oonven. tion, and the cabinet is merely a committee entrusted with the execution of its decrees. The Star siso says that yesterday's disision has established con clusively that the government have lost the context of their bilL There is no reason why the house should stop here. Mr. Serjeant Gaselee's amendment that no borough under 5,000 inhabitants should return even one represen tative is as just and politic as Mr. Laing. While regard. ing the first part of Mr. Laing's motion as beneficial, the Star denounoes the second part, greatly increasing the county representation, and as dangerously mischievous. The blunder or trick would be no sooner discovered than all the democratic forces of the kingdom would be united in an attack upon the unduly aggrandised power of the Lords. The Daily News and the Herald comment upon the Consuls' reports in Turkey with regard to the treatment of the Christian subjects of the Porte. Both journals ob serve that the position of the Christians appears to be improving. Some of the consuls state that with certain exceptions the Christians oppreas each other more than the Maohmedans oppress them. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 1,- ,186' THE WEEKLY PRESS. Dealing with the subject of reform and the re distribution of seats, the Saturday Renew attributes to public discussion a settlement of the franchise so totally different from any which any ministry at any party has ever proposed or conceived. We have been governed in this great matter not by the Ministry, or by the House of Commons, but by a sort of mucus of all the world. As to Mr. Mill's scheme for the representation of minorities, the Sarnia, Renew maintains that the representative of • very small minority would be about as bad • member of parliament as oould be found. He would, in nine cases out of ten, be a miserable little fanatic, oaring only for one subject, and bating the vest bulk of the human race for disegrearig with him. The representative of political minorities in particular constituencies la • very different thing, and there is no necessity to prejudge tie question before it is fairly discussed. But its good effects are ridiculously overstated. What it would do is to give swat in some con stituencies to candidates who are now excluded by • email majority. In Berkshire, for example, it would allow a liberal to share the representation with two conservatives, bat it is ludicrous to speak of this as the one thing nears. eery in a reform bill. In an article on the state of parties, the So/today Review comes to the conclusion that what the terics have gained in popularity they h►ve lost in political honour; and loop of honour or credit in the long run and in • hundred impalpable ways tells on a party's strength. At the present moment the House of Commons and Mr. Disraeli are on the best of terms, while the House of Com mons and Mr. Gladstone have apparently but slight sm. pathy with one another. But the country outside takes a larger and broader view of Mr. Gladstone. On the whole, those in whose hands Mr. Disraeli is placing a large share of electoral power, are on the aide, not of Mr. Disraeli, but of his rival. They prefer Mr. Gladstone, with all his faults, to Mr. Disraeli and all his virtues. Condemning the course taken by parliament with regard to the four rotten boroughs, the Examiner urges that sus pension for a moderate period of the right to return mem bers would be a more suitable penalty. The process of annual change in the constituencies is everywhere steady and rapid. Corruptibility no law can excise ; but corrup tibility is a question of extent and of degree. Take it the other way, and see what is likely to happen. After two or three years, when the fit of virtuous indignation has plumed off, sympathy will begin to grow again for the ex cluded town, the overwhelming majority of whose rate payers qualified to claim the franchise will justly feel themselves aggrieved, being wholly innocent of the sins of those who went before them. In the University question, the Spectator cannot but regret profoundly that Mr. Gladstone has thought it his duty to throw his influence into the scale of a party which is masking political with religious! aims. It is, no doubt, only a fresh proof of his scrupulous conscientiousness ; but the Spectator cannot but wonder that such a statesman as Mr. Gladstone should either be blind to the danger of drawing invidious distinctions unfavourable to dissenters in our national universities, or, on the other hand, dis posed to exaggerate the danger—trivial enough, if it be a danger—of disturbing the minds of university teachers by piecemal reforms of their educational system. Cam bridge and Oxford Fellows are not of such delicate organi sation that they are mentally paralysed by the prospect of receiving power to associate dissenters with themselves, if they think fit. The fear for their character, and espe cially perhaps for their theology, usually is—not that it will be endangered by disturbing changes, but that it will be endangered by mouldering decay. Mr. Gladstone im ports the fears which his own active imagination conjures up in case of a change of this sort into that drowsy dislike to being disturbed, which alone possesses the good dons at Cambridge and Oxford. They sign their petitions against change chiefly because they reward them as petitions against active exertion. " You have waked me too won, I must slumber again," is their real feeling. Mr. Glad stone could not sympathise with them if he would. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE Bal. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.—MAT SL (In the committee.)
