British Columbia, according to our latest advices, appears to be rapidly and resolutely advancing in its grand onward and upward course of developo ment. This—in spite of the lawless seizure of San Juan by the American soldiers under the orders of General HARNEY, with the connivance, if not at the actual instigation, of the Central Government at Washington. According to these latest advices from Vancouver, advices dating to the 27th of Sep tember inclusively—San Juan was being more and more strongly fortified by the Yankee filibusters; for their own defence, and for the protection of the intruding squatter population. Meanwhile, waiting authorisation from home as to his precise line of policy, with a view to their expulsion either by the moral force of diplomacy or by the physical force of war, his Excellency Governor DOUGLAS, we learn, still continues to p:•eside with all his wonted vigilance and sagacity over the simultaneous organisation of the whole of the new system of Government placed there under his supremo and responsible authority as her Britannic MAJESTY'S representative. Colonel MOODY, Chief Commis sioner of Public Works and of Public Lands, is still, of course, but at the merest opening of his gigantic engineering labours. He is there, how ever, at the head of an efficient and gradually increasing body of collaborateurs—men of practical skill and scientific acquirements—men entering upon the occupation of a fruitful and virginal wilderness, armed with all the rare and potent appliances of modern civilisation. Never has the organisation of a new colony, especially of a colony of such magnitude and geographical importance, been commenced so auspiciously. The pioneers there of European progress enter upon their great labour armed not simply with the axe and the theodolite, but carrying with them the steam engine, both stationary and locomotive—the chairs and sleepers for the formation of a railway—the wires and bat teries for the laying down of the electric tele graph—photographic apparatus and all the va rious arms and implements familiar to the hands of Englishmen in the prosecution of their labours in art, science, and literature ! The printing-press---- the diving-bell and the balloon—the telescope and the miscroscope—the laboratory of the chemist, and the hammer and mallet of that latest of the peripatetic philosophers, the geologist. The natu ralists connected with the new expeditionary force sent forth into those primeval regions having all their faculties on the alert for the recognition and the classification of the flora and the fauna of those remote and for the most part unpenetrated regions of the great North American Continent ; the botanists especially prepared for the arrangement of a novel hortus .siccus. Already, however, Bri tish Columbia is assuming to itself, if we may so express it, a titular importance worthy of its scope, its position, and its general character. His Excellency, the Governor of the new colony, in his position as h er B ritannic MAJESTY'S representative, s rapidly b ecom i ng surrounded by all the appro - i priate functionaries and officers of the Government. Besides his p rom i nent coadjutor, the Chief Corn . : missioner of Public Lands and Public Works, already particularised, Colonel MOODY, with his attendant engineers—there are already clustering around Governor DouGLAs, in his now Proconsulate or Tetrarchy, the other officers of the Crown duly ap pointed to assist him in carrying on the affairs of administration. There is the Chief Justice of the Colony (BEGBIli). There is the Attorney-General. There are the subordinate law officers to aid them in the conduct of the judicial or juridical depart ment. The Bishop of British Columbia is but just now upon the eve of taking his departure from the shores of the old mother-country to enter upon the labours of his distant diocese with his little band of assistant clergymen. And in the meanwhile the capital of the new colony has been planned out under the name of New Westminster. The sites of other cities have been selected—streets and terraces, squares and crescents are in some of these rising, if not to the sound of dulcet harmonies, like the Palace of Pandemonium, almost as magically to the harsher music of the saw and the mallet, to the click of the trowel and the hammer, and other kin dred industrial notes of preparation. Roads are being made through the forest wastes and grassy wildernesses—trailing sinuously among the haunts of the wild beast and the Red Indian aborigines the name and fame of honest MACADAM. Wherever wander the new colonists themselves, there, too, following in their footsteps, come the beneficent tatars from St. Martin's-le-Grand, the pos tal agents of penny-wise but not pound-foolish Row - LAND HILL. British Columbia, in effect, is rising even now into premature importance among our larger colonies like a young giant fully armed. It has its magnificent gold fields along the banks and borders of Fraser River to begin. That, in truth, is its raw material for a future Mint and for the in creasing replenishment of its embryo Exchequer. Its metropolis has but very recently spread open to the winds that blow one of the recognised banners of civilisation, the broadsheet of an independent newspaper. That organ of public opinion, if but wisely conducted from the outset, may become an enthralling record for after consultation, the record from the very date of the birth of this new colony, of the rise and development of the noblest of all the realised daydreams of its founder, Sir BULWER LITTON, a Reality of his creation surpassing all his Romances, eclipsing even his brilliant reputation in letters by the solid evidence, thus attesting his rare capacity and genius as a colonial administrator. There is a very impressive and masterly paper in the current number of the Edinburgh Review upon the subject of the " Secret Organisation of Trades,' with especial reference, of course, to the recent —would that we could say of it literally the late— strike in the building trades of the metropolis. It would be a good thing and a wise thing to have this article reprinted from the Edinburgh in a separate and cheap form as a penny or twopenny pamphlet and widely circulated—circulated far and wide—among the industrial population. The Reviewer sets out with a reminder of the paper which appeared just twenty-one years ago upon the subject of Trades Unions and Strikes in the pages of the Edinburgh, a paper that startled the public at large with a series of frightful revelations. Happily there is not now in the strikes of to-day any repetition of what was woefully rife then — namely, crime of the most fiendish brutality and variety ; inhuman murders, lawless conspiracies, shooting, burning, and bludgeoning! But of secret tyranny over thousands and thousands there is yet, alas ! but too much. Of the extent of this tyranny the Reviewer writes : " According to the best authorities accessible in so obscure a case, the trades' unions in the kingdom are not fewer than two thousand, containing about 600,000 members, and commanding a fund of £300,000, destined chiefly for the support of strikes. Now, if we suppose each member to have three persons dependent on him (which is a low average), it would appear that nearly two millions and a half of the working class of our population are governed in their most important affairs—their industry and its recompense, their social relations and personal fortunes,—by laws and authorities not recognised by the rest of society, and not sub ject to public discussion or legal control. It must be considered, also, that the two millions and k half constitute only a portion of the multitude whose fortunes are determined by the trades' union organisation." Considerably later in the argu ment the statistics of the present strike are thus succinctly epitomised : " The building-trades involved in the movement are seven : joiners, carpenters, masons, bricklayers, painters, plasterers, and labourers. It is impossible to ascertain with any certainty the number under the order of the leaders, or actually out of work in August. The number receiving relief on the sth September was 7,856, of whom 4,899 were skilled artisans, and 2,957 were labourers ; but these combined were declared to be no evidence of the number on strike, who were conjectured to be anywhere from ten to forty thousand men and boys, out of the sixty thousand skilled workmen and innumerable labourers included in the London building trades." As for the plea upon which the strike was com menced, the Reviewer observes :—" The demand of ten hours' wages for nine hours' work had been agitated at intervals for some years, and met by a set of resolutions passed by the masters at a meet ing at Freemasons' Tavern, some time ago. The . I reason alleged by Mr. Potter for the pressure being enforced at this particular time was, that the trades were overstocked; that thousands of unemployed workmen were hanging about in idleness, while some others were working even more than the habitual ten hours. We need not stop to point out that men who were employed overtime, and paid accordingly, were, as shown by the mere fact, superior workmen, while the unemployed were the inferior members of the craft. Mr. Potter's notion was of forcing the inferior men upon the masters by depriving the employers of their best men for several hours per day, and of their next best men for one hour per day, without reduction of wages. The most odious part of this double tyranny was that directed against the superior workmen ; it is the old story of a coalition between a few crafty leaders and the crowd of inferior workmen, to depress and subdue the best men in their body.' Immediately after which the sequel is thus de scribed, with comments as generously expressive of indignation at the tyranny exercised as in their logical clearness of reasoning they are perfectly unanswerable. The sequel and . the comments on the sequel run on in the manner following :—" The master builders," writes the Edinburgh Reviewer, " assembled on the 27th of July, when they met the movement of the strike leaders by resolving to close their works till the persecuted firm could resume business. At a subsequent meeting they agreed to the report of their committee, which recommended its being made a condition of employment hence forth, that the men should declare themselves free to make their own labour-bargains, and resolved to remain so. In the plainest possible terms, the em ployers avowed their approbation of combinations for mutual aid in sickness or other misfortune, and in old age, while objecting to such as encroach on the liberties of the buyers and sellers of labour. As our readers are aware, the aspect of the move ment changed from this point. We haveheard little _since of the nine hours, except when the strike leaders were pushed hard on their other ground, and had to take refuge in this. The agitation has been about this declaration since the first week in August. 'Faking advantage of the ordinary repugnance of the ill-educated classes to sign any ' document' (as they called this agreement), the leaders alarmed them with extraordinary accounts of what this document ' would bind them to. It would bind them to work for one master henceforth, under the penalty of going to prison for taking work from anybody else: it would cause them to be num bered and marked like convicts : it would reduce them below the serfs of Russia and even the negro slaves of America. The fears of the timid, the hero ism of the brave, the conscience of the scrupulous, the self-love of the vain, were appealed to on the theme of the declaration.; so that no explanation seemed to reach the multitude of the deluded. The senti ment ran like wildfire through the country, like the accusation of poisoning in seasons of plague, or of hoarding in times of famine, Did it never occur to those misguided men that the en gagement they were invited freely to sign, and which they have denounced so fiercely, is a thousand times less injurious to their absolute freedom and independence than the articles of the trades' unions by which they are voluntarily bound ?" The whole force of the argument comprised in this masterly paper is summed up, however, in its closing sentence: " The great question is, whether our care and zeal in legislation, and in promoting the intelligence of our countrymen, can restore to the industrial classes the true Bri tish liberties which are placed in abeyance by such a secret organisation of trades as has under mined the groundwork of society in England." It is a momentous question that thrusts itself just now very impressively upon the attention more or less of the whole mass of the community, and demands at the earliest date possible the resolute response of the Legislature. THE NEW SCREW LINE-OF-BATTLE ,SIHP VICTORIA. This magnificent ship, which will be launched on Saturday (this day) from Portsmouth Yard, in the presence of her Majesty and the Royal family, de serves particular notice as being larger than any line-of-battle ship now afloat, and also as being the first thrce-decker that has been designed expressly as a screw-steamer. Her actual displacement when at her load-line will amount to very nearly 7,000 tons, which is greater than that of every other ship of war by nearly 1,000 tons ! We have at present afloat five screw three-deckers —tho Marlborough, Royal Sovereign, Duke of Wellington, Royal Albert, and Royal George. These were originally designed for sailing ships ; the first three by the late Surveyor of the Navy, Sir William Symonds ; the Royal Albert by the late Mr. Oliver Lang. The Royal George was built on the lines of the old Caledonia, and was launched at Chatham in 1827. To adapt these vessels for the reception of the screw, they were altered as follows :—the Marl borough was lengthened in midships and at each end, and was also increased slightly in breadth ; the Duke of Wellington and Royal Sovereign were lengthened in midships and by the stern ; the Royal Albert was lengthened by the stern ; and the Royal George had only the screw aperture cut in her deadwood, and was not lengthened at all. The following table, showing the comparative prin cipal dimensions of these ships and of the Victoria, will be found interesting to those of our readers who regard with satisfaction and pride any addi tion to the naval resources of the country : . ,d. 4 5 , Cr ) - f c - 1 .

The armament of the Victoria is, how ever, the heavier of the two, as she carries on the middle and lower decks nothing but 68-pounders, as will be seen by the following table : Cwt.

The Duncan, 91, Prince of Wales, 131, and Royal Frederick, 91, all screw ships, and building under roofs contiguous to that of the Victoria, are to be launched by the end of the present financial year. The Royal Alfred, a 91-gun screw ship, is to be laid down immediately on the slip vacated by the Victoria. The Victoria's keel was laid in the early part of February, 1856. She has been, therefore, but three years and 10 months blinding. We recently had the satisfaction of inspecting her, and in justice to Mr. Abethell, the Master-Shipwright of Ports mouth Dockyard, under whose superintendence she has been built, we must state that as a specimen of sound and careful shipbuilding, the Victoria cannot be surpassed. As her Majesty the Queen will at tend the launch in person, it is generally expected that her appreciation of Mr. Abethell's services in this respect, and of his eminence as one of the fore most naval architects of the country, will be marked by her Majesty conferring the honour of knightood upon him on the occasion.—Mechanics' Magazine.

The 21Ioniteur of this morning says— The different Assemblies of the Central Italian States have agreed to offer the Regency to Prince Carignan. This resolution is to be regretted, especially under the present circumstances of the approaching as sembling of an European Congress—called to de liberate on the affairs of Italy—because it tends to prejudge questions which must there be settled. PARIS, FRIDAY, The Patrie of this evening says—We are assurcd that the King of Sardinia has replied to the letter of the Emperor of the French, and that King Victor Emmanuel, in his reply, expresses confidence in the sympathies of the Emperor Napoleon in favour of the Italian cause, and declares that he (the King) will leave to the decision of the Congress all that which relates to the reorganisation of Italy. MADRID, Nov. 10. Yesterday the Moors, with a force of 1,000 men, continued their attack upon Ceuta. The besieged were preparing to make a sortie to repulse them. The Cortes had been prorogued for one week. VIENNA, Nov. 12. An Imperial autograph letter has been addressed to the Minister of Finance, Baron von Bruck, ex pressing the desire of the Emperor to make good the deficit in the budget of the years 1860 to 1861. In order to carry out the desire of the Emperor, a committee will be appointed, whose work is to be terminated at the end of March, and the result submitted to the Council of the Empire. In accordance with the Articles 13 and 16 of the decree dated April 13,1851, the number of members of the Council of the Empire will temporarily be increased for the discussion of this subject.

The Opinion* of Turin publishes a statement from which it appears that there are 6,083 Vene tians enrolled in the army under the command of Gen. Mezzacapo. A letter from Naples says :—" Great interest is felt in official regions here as to the political regime with which Italy will be endowed by the Congress, and uneasiness prevails as to the anomalous position in which the Two Sicilies would be placed in the midst of constitutional Governments. It is not thought that the Neapolitan Government would refuse to join the Italian Confederation, but its adhesion would not be without some reserves ; it has, indeed, already come to an understanding with the Pontifical Government. It may also be regarded as certain that both Governments are preparing the reforms which the new state of things will render necessary. It is supposed that the dissensions which have arisen between the Government and Prince Filangieri were relative to those projected changes. The attitude of Prince Filangieri is con sidered a strange one, as though he avoids exercising the functions of President of the Council, still he does not resign that high office. The Prince is perhaps endeavouring by that mode of proceeding to reserve to himself the means of accomplishing the reforms which he has in view, and, by thus standing aloof, to compel the Neapolitan Govern ment to acknowledge that his services cannot be dispensed with. This plan of conduct, which seemed likely to be thwarted by the refusal of M. Carascosa, charged with the signature of the Pre sident of the Council, to continue that office, meets with no obstacle now that M. Carascosa has with drawn his refusal." The Maniteur de la Platte says:—" The corps d'armee which is to act in China will, it is believed, be composed as follows :—The English will send 6,000 Europeans and 6,000 native troops. France will send a complete division, consisting of the 101st and 102 d regiments, the 2d battalion of rifle men, 16 companies of marines, 4 batteries of horse artillery, 2 companies of engineers, 1 company of the baggage train, and 500 sailors. The division, including sailors and marines, will be altogether about 20,000 strong. The Piedmontese Gazette publishes several Royal decrees : one ordering the promulgation of the new military Penal Cede ; another organizing the new Court of Accounts; a third for the organization of the Council of State, and others for matters of minor importance, including one which confers the Cross of Commander of the Order of St. Maurice and Lazarus on Chevalier Miglietti, late Mi nister of Justice. The Agram Gazette states that Osman Pacha has just received, as a present from the Pope, his Holiness's portrait engraved on onyx and richly mounted. Services rendered by Osman when in office at Tripoli, with respect to the erection of a Roman Catholic convent, have procured him this favour. The Striatsanzeiyer says that the health of the King of Prussia has impros ed lately, and he is now able to make short excursions in a carriage. The New Prussian Gazette says :—" Letters from Vienna mention as positive, the intention of the Austrian Government to contract a large loan. The amount spoken of is 500 millions of florins, of which 250 millions will be raised under the form of a forced loan, and the other 250 by a lottery. The whole will bear interest at 5 per cent. No further details are known." The King of the Belgians has conferred the grand cordon of the Order of Leopold on Baron de Tuyll Serooskerken, attached to the household of the Queen of Holland ; also on Baron de Palland, grand chamberlain at the Dutch Court; and Baron Omphal, intendant of the Royal Palace. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives at its sitting of the day before yesterday completed its bureau by the election of M. Vervoort as second Vice President, and MM. Deboe, Vermeire de Moor and de Plorisonno as Secretaries. The Assembly after wards named the standing committees. The Madrid journals of the 7th contain no poli tical news. They state that the fleet of Morocco, which in 1794 consisted of 10 frigates and 37 smaller vessels, is now only of 2 corvettes, 1 brig, and 14 gunboats. Attempts made to cultivate the sugar-cane in the neighbourhood of Mataro had been attended with a fair degree of success. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. •Rolf A FRENCH POINT OF VIEW. Englishmen have been discussing for severe: weeks now the probabilities of a war with France, what are the preparations on either side of the Channel, and what is likely to be the issue of the conflict. One day we see a panic ; then the panic is laughed at ; next we seem to be taking matters coolly ; then again we argue the point seriously,but without fear ; we go to work with vigour, we sAy that an invasion is not very probable, but it is best to be prepared, and we watch narrowly all that our neighbours are saying and doing. They, in turn, have their eyes upon us, f,nd now sneer, now criti cise, now remonstrate, now threaten, In the midst of so mnch that is, if not alarming, at least menacing, it is pleasant to come upon a party of Frenchmen who thoroughly sympathize with us, who regard with horror the prospect of a war between the two countries ; who agree with us in thinking that the attitude of France is quite unjustifiable ; and who are anxious that England should place herself in a position of so much force as to prevent the possi bility of attack. It will at once be divined that such sympathy cannot at the present moment find full expression in France. We find it in the pages of a French review published in London, and con ducted with no small ability. The Revue Indepen dante (issued by Jeffs) is a monthly magazine de voted to politics, philosophy, literature, science, and art. It was started in July last; it is edited, in part, at least, by M. Gustave Masson, the French master at Harrow, and it represents the opinions of the most sober Liberals. Of course, a French review conducted in this country is exceedingly in terested in the question of peace or war, and the antagonism of the party which it represents to the Imperial policy gives a warmth to its denunciations of what in any aspect must be regarded as a cala mity and a crime. There are few new facts to be gleaned from these pages. The interest of the articles to which we refer depends almost entirely on this, that the views which they advance run parallel with the views of Englishmen, and are ex pressed with all the vivacity for which the French are distinguished. It may not be amiss to give some of these opinions in detail. The point which is most strongly enforced is that a war with England is inevitable,--that in France it is the universal topic of conversation, and that it would be very popular If it were not popular, means could easily be taken to make it so. Not withstanding 40 years of peace, the old national jealousy has not been extinguished. Especially on the whole of the coast from Dunkirk to Bayonne this jealousy remains in full force, and the people regard their implacable animosity as a patriotic virtue. This is perfectly evident in the diatribes of the journals which receive their inspi ration from the Government ; and from an intimate acquaintance with the coasts of the Channel, of Normandy, and of Brittany, one writer declares that these envenomed effusions meet with a hearty reception from the maritime population. It is the same in Paris. The feeling against England is gathering strength on every side, nobody can tell through what inspiration, and Englishmen who have to transact business in the metropolis find, we are told, that they are not received as before. The writer who publishes this unwelcome news would be more entitled to credit, if in the next sentence ho did not proceed to enter into details. "Un de mes amis, Anglais, qui revient de la Touraine," he says, "y a reconnu lee memes symptOmes ; et son domes tique lui a repete des conversations vraiment tres alarmantes qu'il a eu avec des domestiques Fran cais." The opinion of John Thomas had better be kept in the background. It can only excite the laughter of Englishmen, who at once perceive that Nanette and Baptiste discovered the tender places of his manly bosom and stixck pins into him with out mercy. The opinions of the other informants of the Revue Independante are more respectable, and there is reason to believe that the war feeling is really growing. The project of a war with Eng land, we are told, is everywhere the order of the day in France. In the high places of power, in the public offices, in the army, in the navy, among the working classes, and among men of business, it is incessantly discussed, and the universal belief is that if ever the design seems to be abandoned it is only because the preparations are incomplete and it is necessary to gain time. French co-operation in China is only a makebelieve, and the more ardent that co-operation is the more certainly is it a snare. That the army should desire war we can well understand. Apart from any particular feeling of hostility to England, a great army of 600,000 or 700,000, well clad, well fed, intoxicated with flat teries, and greedy of advancement, must have work; but, from the private to the general officer, the entire force is especially bent on a war with this country. As a singular exception, we are told of a General officer who had the courage to declare that if there was to be a war with England he would break his sword and refuse to obey; bet the general feeling is enthusiastic in favour of a descent upon our shores which the first Empire failed to effect, but which the second Empire is destined to achieve. On the 20th of August last there was a dinner giTen at Versailles to 6,500 of the Imperial Guard. The tables were laid in the Orangery, and each soldier was in his place under the command of his chief. At the end of the banquet the public was allowed to mingle with the soldiers and indulge their faculty for staring and asking questions. One of these goes up to a Zouave who had an enormous gash on his face, and says, " My fine fellow, you have a wound to be proud of, and it does not disfigure you, though you have lost your eye. Where were you wounded ?" " At Magenta," was the answer, and we have the whole history of it. " Well, then, I suppose you have now had enough of war ?" proceeds the admiring civilian. " Moi, Monsieur ! Si dans quatre mois, commo nous l'esperons bien, on nous mine en An gleterre, je demanderai encore a etre le premier." We have the records of ntany such conversations. Another Zouave astonishes the women in a railway carriage by the announcement that the French army will be at it again next spring. "We are going to England," "To England !" cries an astonished woman. " Yes, Madame, we go to England in the spring, or a little later." " And why there ?" " Dame, dame, pour nous revenger, pour nous re venger," cries the excited Zouave. "To revenge what ? France and England are allies ; they can not make war." " Ah, oui, Madame; I know the English well ; they are good soldiers ; they fight well, they stand well ; we esteem them, but we hate them, don't you see!' This can't last." " But what is it all about ? I don't understand." "Look here, Madame ; I will tell you. We licked Russia be cause she laid her paw upon Turkey; we licked Austria because she was playing the deuce with Italy. We shall give it to England next, because we are not going to stand her treatment of the In dies and that unhappy Ireland." " It is not easy going to England," observed the lady quietly. " Ah, bah ! we shall go all the same, et moi qui vous park, je demande a y allele premier. PespAre Men qua je ne serai pas le seul !" Can anything he conceived finer than that climax? How sublime, and how thoroughly characteristic ! " J'espL►re bien que je ne serai pas le seul !" His enthusiasm fired a sergeant of the Chasseurs, who exclaimed, " Certainly not ; you shall not be alone; all the world will go with you." This is a fair specimen of military conversation. The army is unanimous for a war with England, and so is the navy, which, indeed, has a special stake in the ven ture. If we are to be invaded, it is on the French fleets that the first dependence must be placed. It is the French navy that in the last war suffered the greatest reverses, and it owes us a much deeper grudge than the army does. The thirst for ven geance, accordingly, is doubly strong in this arm of the service. In the navy the desire for war amounts to a frenzy. The sailors cannot name England without going off into fits, and we can infer what is their ardour when they speak of crossing the Channel. The more sober among them, however, think that a war cannot be hazarded between the two countries till 1861, as 18 months will at least be required to complete the accumulation of coals. Brest, which ordinarily requires between 4,000 and 5,000 tons of coal a-year, has already in store at least 50,000 tons, and Cherbourg is supposed to be equally well provided, but these quantities are not considered sufficient. The Church is as eager for war as either army or navy. Everybody will be convinced of this who looks at the Univers, which is possessed with the idea of Fngland, and works up its readers into great excitement by the mere mention of our name. The most insulting statements appear daily in its columns, and, spite of the inexhaustible eloquence of the editor, it is evident that words fail to do jus tice to the force of his emotions. The Univers may be regarded as the genuine organ of clerical opinion. It has led the clergy in important junctures, and given them the tone. On one romarkable occasion, when the majority of the clergy revolted in a manner against the journal, then less powerful than it is now, the Pope himself took its part, and under the pontifical shield there is almost nothing which is too outrageous for the jour• nal to commit. A crusade against Protestant England would delight the clergy ; and as they chanted Hosannahs for the grand Turk in the Crimean war, we can well believe that they are prepared to fulminate most vigorously against here tical and perfidious Albion. At the present moment especially this temper ought to be watched. It so happens that the Imperial Government is, through its revolutionary designs with reference to the Holy Father, in very bad odour with the French clergy, and the goodwill of the clergy has hitherto been deemed essential to the safety of the empire. How is that goodwill to be recovered ? Nothing would so effectually reinstate the Imperial Government in theaffection of the church as a war waged with the most conspicuous opponent of Roman Catholicism. Missionaries would fight side by side with Zouaves, and when the bayonet had done its work we should have the sweet consolations of the priesthood. Public opinion was at first strongly opposed to the war in Italy, and even when this sentiment had completely changed there were large numbers of pious Frenchmen who regarded the Imperial policy with extreme jealousy. There would be no such hesitation as to a war with England. When the clergy and the army go hand in hand the combina tion is irresistible. It is maintained, also, that even those classes which we might suppose committed to a ceaseless contest with the Imperial policy would look on the war with favour,—we mean the Legitimists. That the Legitimists hate us we have long been aware, but it might be imagined that they must hate the French Emperor still more. If, however, we might form a judgment from the sort of articles that appear in the organ of the party, it would seem that nothing does it so much desire as the humiliation of England. Why, it may be asked ? The Legitimists owe more to England than to any other nation in the world, and they are more in debted to us than any other party in France. They ought to be our best friends. Those who argue to such a conclusion, however, forget that no burden is so galling to a rival as the obligation of gratitude, and that if between man and man the duty is diffi cult and the burden oppressive, between nation and nation the duty is impossible and the obligation in tolerable. Parties are not actuated by gratitude as individuals are. The necessities of party survive when the benefits that have been conferred on pre vious members of the party have long been for gotten, or are remembered but as a hateful proof of superiority. The Legitimists hate us for the ser vice we have done them, even more than for the original rivalry—the old French feeling towards England, which in right of their historical pre cedents they are supposed to represent. Nor must it be imagined that this Legitimist party is without power. It has little direct, but a great deal of in. direct power. If it is weak in politics, it is strong in society. It is very wealthy, enlightened, and re ligious ; it has possession of the soil to a large ex tent ; it has great influence in the agricultural dis tricts, and in reckoning the forces which are opposed to us in the event ofa war we must not overlook an element so potent. In such an event it is maintained in the Revue Independante that, more from passion than from policy, the Legitimist party will give their hand to the Imperial Government. It will be a national opportunity of reconciliation, and they will only be too glad to seize it. Thus, in a war with England, the French Em peror has the power of satisfying army and navy, of gratifying the clergy, of winning over the Legiti mists, and of securing the suffrages of a united people. The object is so tempting that naturally one catches at every little indication of the Imperial purpose, beginning, of course, with the words ut tered long ago,—" I represent a cause, a principle, and a defeat,"— the defeat being Waterloo, which remains to be avenged. When President of the Republic, Louis Napoleon is reported to have said to more than one person that the restoration of the Empire could have but one object—the avenging of Waterloo and of St. Helena. When the Empire was restored it is true that he disclaimed all warlike intentions, all revengeful motives, and announced himself as a perfect lamb,—" The Empire is peace." But the world had soon an opportunity of seeing what he meant by peace. There was the war with Russia, and no sooner was that war brought to a close than an event occurred which was the first overt sign of the Emperor's real intention towards England. It is urged that the creation of the St. Helena medal just at that moment was an unmis• takeable proof of ulterior 'views on the part of Na poleon 111. Why select such a name to commemo rate the glories of the first Napoleon and the empire which he created ? What does the name of St. Helena recall ? Does it signify that which was most ebaxacteristic in the history of Bonaparte ? On the contrary, it signifies his defeat ; it signifies the power of England; it signifies the humiliation of the Empire. And why commemorate such an event with a medal, if not for some ulterior object ? That object, it is argued, must have been to rekindle the feeling of antagonism to England, and gradually to prepare for a war when the time should come ; and Napoleon had the skill to effect his purpose while remaining our ally : " Pourquoi, en :856, fowler une croix de co genre ? Ou en etait le besoin ?—a quoi bon?—qui la reclamait ? Per sonne• ni en France, ni surtout en Europe. Il n'y avait qu'un seul homme qui y pat songer, et c'etait Napoleon 111. le seul qui pat en profiter. Reviser, sous apparence de recompense patriotic, toutes les coleres nationales contre Albion, rallumer les haines, sans paraitro fair* autre chose qu'un acte de reconnaissance au nom de la famille Bonaparte, c'etait un merveilleux stratageme ; et je vous reponds qu'il a porte ses fruits. C'est depuis cette epoque que la fireur contre l'Anglais a repris de plus belle." Our conduct to Napoleon when, in the com mencement of last year, he demanded a Conspiracy Bill, has added flame to fuel, and has given him the motive of personal vengeance to strengthen the motives of family pride and national hate. It is, in fact, the crime of Orsini, we are informed, that has decided him to make war on England, as if Eng land were an accomplice in the attempt of the Rue Lepelletier any more than in the celebrated ex pedition to Boulogne. Accordingly we see prepare.. _ _ tions on foot, and it is noted that on the last occasion on which Napoleon referred to the English alliance, he dwelt bitterly on the sacrifices which he had made in order to maintain it. The war is universally be lieved in by official men in France, who think of it triumphantly as about to be the crowning proof of the wisdom and the power of their Imperial chief. M. Dupin, in his address to the department of Clamecy, tried to conceal the aggressive nature of the French preparations for war by turning the in dignation of his hearers upon this country. It is we who are arming, we who are troubling the stream. From these, and many such statements of the public men of France, the conclusion is drawn that an order has gone forth, and that it is doing its wicked work most rapidly, raising all the bad passions of our nature, so that when the auspicious moment arrives the explosion will appear to be as spontaneous as it must be terrible. All is prepared for it, and one might not unreasonably argue even that the amnesty which immediately after the peace of Villaffilnea was offered to all political offenders, and which many persons interpreted as the inauguration of a change in the Imperial policy, the pledge of peace, was essentially a step, and a most important step, towards a war with this country. It was necessary- to pardon the re fugees, in order that England might not have the chance of saying that Napoleon makes war upon the country which is the asylum of his liberty loving subjects, in order that no part of the French nation might, in the event of a war, have all excuse for remaining in England and giving her the moral value of their presence. It will not be difficult to find the excuse for be war—be it Ireland, be it India, be it EgyPt, 3 it some naval collision like that of the C h a rles et Georges. The question is, how are we to be Pr pared for it ? Oa the most obvious answ er to this question we need not dwell. We must On' Besides arms, however, we have another dFrefence! which we are glad to see recognised by our own friends, and the full force of which none knewsi, better than Napoleon himself; it is the force 0' public opinion.
