FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS; Wednesday; Nov:
The eoneeSsietial 'Jolley which has beets irianga-
rated by the Emperor; though, as I have men-
tioned; . of in terms of approval by the
• ipier-6 side as Well ae its
agreeable one, in the estimation Of a 1p.1.r4e tiortioti
of the reflecting public. ,
Those who have arrived-at the persuasion that
the changes resolved on are calculated to
strengthen the Napoleonic dynasty, reason thus
Napoleon 111., they say, since the com-
mencement of his reign; has followed one ruling
idea, vii.; to Contiliate the ginththips of the
English, nation; Old above all; the liberal party
in that ceiiiitty; Quite recently he hats give4'siii
ardent proof of this, by 'concluding With England
a treaty of cominere of such a kind, that, if it
could be carried out without serious inconven-
ience for some years between the two people,
all armed strife would become almost impossible,
in consequence of the oolidarite of the enormous
commercial interests which would be established
between them. The constant mistrust of the
British nation with 'respect to the Imperial
yeinnient being Only Slightly Modified since the
ratification Of the treaty; and the pacific efforts of
M. de Persigny having been folloWed by only
very limited degree of success, as
the recent speeches of the Ministers of Cineen
Victoria, the Emperor of the French desired td
give to the British people one pledge more of his
respect for England, by conferring on France
institutions of a more liberal character, England
appears to be convinced that the F'r'ench nation
would not willingly associate itself with upolicyr
which would be calculated to- issue sooner of
later in an armed struggle between two great
Maritime nations. It was, therefore, especially'
with a view to reassure the national senti-
ment in England that Napoleon 1.11: thought
of giving to the French nation, in the person
of its represelitativeS, a more considerable share
in the gthrenrinelit of the State: Nov ii
as a war with England is, amidst all the
eventualities of that nature; that which most
scares material interests, anything that tends• to
remove that apprehension to a distance midst
necessarily be of a nature to reassure publio
opipion, and enhance the confidence of men en-
gaged 'in the business of commerce, ,of 'trade,
and of finance. In the second place, the very
fact of the return of the government of the
Emperor to constitutional and parliamentary
notions must -be regarded as a guarantee of peace
given to the nation, for no one is ignorant that
it is generally admitted even by the Frenell,
people themselves—warlike as is their tempera-
meat, and liable as, they are to yield to the
intoxication of glory and of conquests—that the
deliberative assemblies have always shown them-
selves opposed to warlike tendencies and to
the policy of "adventure" and national pre-
ponderance. Lastly, in this first essay since
the accession of the second empire in the
constitutional path of parliamentary, ideas
there are not a few men who are willing to
recognise in it an important step towards a sys-
tem of security, which is so favourable, if we are
to -judge from precedents, to the developnient of
confidence and of credit. Besides, it is added,
the new measures adopted „by the Government of
the Emperor, being designed to supply the liberal
party in France with the elements of strength
necessary to neutralise the retrograde tendencies
of the elergrand the hostility of the political and
ultramontane Catholics, they are calculated to be
especially well deceived by the Israelitish element
in France, whose preponderance, in questions Of
finance and of credit, becomes every day more
considerable.
But now for the opposite view, for there are
many who. will look only- at the reverse side of
the medal. -These persons are found chieV
among those morose and restless spirits who' go
to sleep every night dreaming' of a general war,
and who awake in the morning after a night
spent in visions of famine, anarchy, and revolu-
tion. Unhappily, for some years back, events
having often justified these dismal forebodings,
this lugubrious group is constantly being re-
cruited by numerous disciples ; so that one hears
it said that what was formerly only an exces-
sively small and exceptional sect on the 'Bourse,
" has beCome a school, almost .an army." It is
true that this party has been flying in. disorder
before their opponents for some time past; but
in the act of flying they have fired, more Pal-
thorunt, a number of sharp arrows into the midst of
their rejoicing adversaries. Here are some of thew-
The Government of the Emperor, says these Pessi-
tastes, found itself confronted by several most

important foreign questions, which 'urgently
demand immediate, or almost immediate, solution.
Not long ago, when Napoleon 111. involved the
French nation in the Italian question, it was
settled with the tacit and presumed consent of
the country. Subsequently France fully rati-
fied all that has been done in that matter, for her,
and in her name ; and now that it may become
necessary to resolve the Italian question by soldering
it on to a new Eastern question, Napoleon 111. would
like to have the real and effectual support of the
nation, uttered through the medium of new repre-
sentatives by whom the former ones are intended to
be replaced. The Emperor's Government has suc-
ceeded in persuading itself, for some time past,
that the Catholic political element has lost all
vigour and energy, and that, in concert with,
the legitimist element, it has recently permitted-
its weakness to be gauged, as much by the
fiasco of the St. Peter's Pence, as by the
deplorable issue of those grievous pranks which
it played at Castelfidardo and at Ancona. These
are the circumstances, therefore, in which the
Emperor, offering certain grounds for satisfaction
to the liberal and democratic party of the nation:
has resolved upon the plan of making an appeal
to the people, by sending new representatives to
the Corps Legislatif, regenerated by the recent
reforms. The Government of the Emperor is so
sure of success in this great electoral campaign,
that it does not hesitate to renounce the former
reercroorsmoefn• iatisngwaay,gaond abstain for the future from
