LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 5, 1863.

In the powerful ruler of forty millions of men,
the master of forty legions, who has this day spoken
to all Europe through the address delivered by him
to his new Legislature—Deputies and Senators
waiting upon him to that end in the throne-room
at the Palace of the Tuileries—it is no adulation,
it is simply the exercise of sheer common sense,
to recognise a great man in a great position. For
more than ten years NAPOLEON 111. has reigned
over France as Emperor. During now upwards
of fJurteen, during very nearly fifteen momentous
years he has, under various titles, as President for
four years, as President for life, as Prince President,
and, finally, as Sovereign held within his own
grasp the reins, directed with his own voice the
policy, reconstructed at his own pleasure the entire
structure and machinery of the Government of
Prance.l, He has himself conducted the armies of
;a:lce—has himself in the field, and that again
again, led her troops to victory. He has always
durana
these fifteen years presided, not nominally,
but Practically and actually, over the councils of
his Cabinet,
He has himself conducted, through
daiBpuloe:aciynnotopf ministries, the delicate and intricate
wherever it hranee—maintaining uninterruptedly,
ag been in any way practicable, as
with ourselves,
that principle of peace which, before
the revival of
the
empire, he proclaimed by a memo-
rable mot at Bordeaux
would be the guiding prin-
ciple of its institutions.
Japan, if Mexico, if Austria
Russia, if China, if
raertioratbaie reproach him with any
violation of that
promise, we at least
here i England have no reason whatever for doing
o. In our regard, as in
other contemporary
powerse6'ard to so many
Prussia, to Sweden, to Dahuaaries in regard to
c,
p United
to Sain, to
Portugal, to Turkey, to (the late)
States of North America--ho hag pasta
ful, and, what is more, uointerruptedl fa"ll.Y and
unhesitatingly faithful, to that famous preliminary
assurance. Still to this day, in all these instances,
as in so many others here unenutnerated, he hag
1.-.)en true to his promise to the very letter—
*4ll:emPire c'est la pair !" Wherever practic-
able the sword has remained undrawn.
Moreover, in the exceptional instances in
which the sword has been drawn by
what appeared to him a dire necessity, never
once in any of those instances before enumerated
has the scabbard, so to speak, been thrown away.
The reproach directed against him more that
once, and from this side of the Channel moreover,
in reference to the greatest of the half dozen wars
upon which he has adventured has been one of an
eatirely opposite character. He has been accused
f this direction—more than once of an over
readine • ,
18 to bring those same wars to a conclusion.
He it was who took the initiative in regard to the
go
tiationsthet led to t he almost abrupt termination
of the CryimcatTioNtohar. His precipitancy at Villafranca
afforded
Yet alpr, and a far more signal token of
his placability ie regard to the po vet- with which he
had contended. England, least of all, among the
nations of the globelhtaile
feelings,
reason to charge him with
the cherishing of ios
with insincerity
in his fair promise at Bordeaux. :Among all the
later Sovereigns of France he h
as been the faith-
fullest of all our allies. And this, mereover, in
spite of how much provocation, Of provocations
and how protracted!
Thatow
deadly, how malignant,
there have been these provocations, it will be suffi-
cient here to recall to mind two men who have earned
for themselves, each of them;an unenviable notoriety
by the virulence of the malignity with which they
have in their several ways, ens through a great
iouraai, the other through a great book reviled
