BINLEM rumours remit es dress various Torten
as to the determination of the French Government
, to urge upon that of England a material modification
of our Alien Laws. We give little credit to these
; 1 reports. The avoidance of this subject by the
. Iljl EMPEROR in his speech, it is tree, proves
nothing. The reticence of Louis NAPOLEON, when
he has an object in view, is proverbial. Bret if hie
silence prove nothing, the babbling of others is of
equally little import. The 'miter insolence of
. , Count or. MORNT is nothing more than might be
1; expected from a man smarting under the censure
of some of his speculative enterprises which have ap-
peared in the English press. The raving of the Univers,
about " dens of assassins to be cleared our —the
' II , euphuiatic epithet by which England, Piedmont,
and Belgium are designated—is nothing more that
II we had to expect from the rabid animosity of the
Ukraine:lune priest party. Neither the gamblers
of the Hearse, nor the agents of the Court of Rome
and the Jesuits, eau be held to express the secret
I views of Lott/ NAPOLEON. That he would gladly
see oar Alien Laws altered so as to subeerve his own
views, there can be no doubt; imt he knows that this
is impossible, and he is much too shrewd a man to
knock his head against a stone wall when there is
nothing to be gained by so doing. Even the inso-
lently 1 , menacing hint to the Belgian Government in
the Jfewateer cannot convince us of the contrary.
But there remains one cause from which there are
serious grounds to apprehend a painful and dan-
.., -1 1 f mous alienation of the French. from the English
i Government—the fatuous efigosiment with which
Lark PALM CRATON and CLARENI*ON sacritioe every
other consideration in order that they may establish
themselves in the good graces of Austria. We do
not pretend to have formed a definite and final
opinion as to the existence or non-existence of the
alleged secret treaty between the English and Aus-
trian Governments ; but unfortunately there OLD be
no doubt that the English Government has been
acting of late exactly as it might have been expected
to do had such a treaty existed. The fatal and de-
grading influence of Austria in the counsels of the
British Cabinet is but too apparent in the cold and
supercilious treatment which the Sardinian Govern-
ri meet has systentaticallyexperienoed at the hand. of
Lord CLARRN oaN, in the tame and cowardly manner
lin which Lord PALMERSTON has submitted tithe Dunk
offered to England by the Neapolitan Government
in its treatment of the English engineers arrested
on board the Cagliari, and the mean subserviency
to Austrian inspirations displayed in the whole con-
fine of the English Government as regards the
towstion of the Danubian Principalities. The
Biglish Government has of late persistently thrown
• i he weight into the scale of Austria against
its gallant and faithful allies in the Crimea—
France and Sardinia. Such conduct must wow
).1 ' eerily have given umbrage to and inspired distrust
of England's intentions in the Cabinet of the
Ili
Tuileries ; and this it is that imparts a sinister mean-
ing to the French EM PE aoa's expression of regret at
having formerly "combated against his new allies"
Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues would do
well to bear in mind the sage decimation of the old
song, that, " It's grade to be aff wi' the auld love,
" afore ye be on wi' the new." It is good to be sure
of the trustworthiness of a new ally before you come
to a breach with one whose loyalty has been tried.
We have never laid any undue stress upon our
eritoste cordiale with LOUIS NAPOLEON; but webs's
ever attached the utmost vales to the intimate end
cordial alliance of the English with the French
nation. Be Louts NAPOLEON what he may se re-
, I 4 garde his own subjects, to us he is nothing but the - spontaneously elected representative of the French
nation, and as long as he Continues to be so
we would deprecate all alienation from his al-
lfiance, more especially if that alienation is caused
by any want of frankness or loyalty in the modest
of our Government towards hiss i and it is no more
than justice to Louts NAPOLEON to declare that be
has uniformly fulfilled his engagements to England
in an honourable manner—in a manner that showed
he valued our alliance. And what can England
hope to gain by exchanging the friendship of France
for that of Austria? We waive the conside-
ration that France has the power to do us
much good or much harm, and that Austria is
impotent for both. Bat we cannot forget, that from
the time of the wen of WILLIAM 111. and
MALL-
!
nonotlin till the does of the great European strugglei
which arose out of the first French Revolution.
England has never contracted a close alliance with
the Court of Austria without being deceived and
i betrayed. And still less can we forget, that for
England at this crisis of European affairs to throw
her weight into the scale of Austria, would be to
take part against Sardinia, which is waging splint
hat unequal strife against civil despotism enthroned
at Vienna and religious despotism enthroned at
Bone.
