LONDON, TUESDAY. JAN. 17.

Ir Lot's NAPOLEON had been required to give
Europe a demonstration of his coofidsuce in his own
power he could hardly have complied more elite-
tually than by ansounciog a policy of free trade
just aa he has made the priesthood of France and
Home his enemies. He has, however, had the
courage to do this, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that he will be jastified by the result. How
a►e we, as Englishmen, to regard this new develop-
ment of French commercial policy ? Shall we say
that it is the trait and pledge of the entente cordials
—a conceesion to Eogliab interests or an approxima-
tion to English ideas? Heaven forbid! We could
place no confidence in the proposed legislation if we
were not convinced, as every enlightened man
in France is isonvinced, that it has its roots deep
in French iiireretts, and is nothing leas
than the best policy which our neighbours could
adopt, whatever the opinion and practice of other'
nations might be. The Emetics' only says what 1
great Frenchmen have said before him when he sets
forth that coasumption is the true final cease of
industry. This is the sum of the teaching of the CHE-
T *LIM sad BAOTIATi. Had the legislation of Frl2loll
been guided by the mind of France, it would not
Mw beee left for the Emetics to inaugurate free
Made by this new letter. To him belong. the incon-
testable IMPEit of &ormolu and courageous endeavour
to make the prosperity of the nation, instead of the
aggrandisement of a few " intereets," his aim. It
Is net inconsistent with the strict nationality which
we ascribe to the Imperial policy that the success of
the fns trade experiment in England may have had
much to do wrh its adoption. It is the right and
duty of every nation to profit by the expert-
once of its neighbours. To every reflecting snaa
it has long been clear that the facts observed of the
progress of ditfereot nations, and of which the
knowledge is spread everywhere by the preset
must guide and control the thought@ sad minds of
the rulers of society as well aa et Mbar MSG, and
bring their eoaduet into conformity to what gerund
opinion declared to be good and trot. Oa this
account we have directed attention to the frets
which illustrate the progress of different nations
rather than to the opinions and sets of individuals,
a• the preferable burns of all sound polities'
judgment. Nor heel, we ever doubted that free
trade, which has led to such a great increase of oar
prosperity, toilet speedily become the policy of all the
stations of the civilised world. Oar success has
operated on the mind of Louis NAPOLEON, and
induced him, of his owe free will, to adopt
course which will improve Francs and promote
pear•• between the two leading nations of the civilised
world.

Precedieg rulers of France have undertaken, hke
NAPOLEON 111., to give an impetus to industry and
commerce, and have sought to accomplish this by
Irmo* which i he Earstoltdeclaresonly renders them
stamenary. Tne shandant were and large protium
which the working popteatioa and their employers
maturaily desire ere it consistent wit► protective
duties, and meet b. sought in the increased con.
gumption of the people. This is a Wren which,
as the shipoe errs Lave lately remieded us,
is not yet perfectly learned in oar own country.
The PArrraun proposes to brgin *wily as
we begin our great commercial reforms,
