by arrangements with one or more other Powers,
for the success of his undisclosed plans. 5. The
claim of a Congress to the exercise of powers ade-
quate to a "supreme arbitrament" in the questions
which the ambition of sovereigns and states may
bring before it, is certain to be resisted by those who
may be prejudicially affected by it ; and thus anta-
gonisms will arise, alliances and counter alliances
will be formed, and the Congress will have divided
Europe into hostile camps. In the present state of
Europe these, and such as these, would be the tenth-
dencies of a Congress like that proposed by
Emperor of the French. They constitute a dangeran
greater far than any which, apart from then',
be said to threaten Europe. On the other side, and
to allay alarm, we are told of the pacific ideas of
Napoleon 111. Nobody has the slightest doubt that
at
the Emperor of the French desires and inten
peace—that is to say, if the world will let him have
his own way, he will not make war for war's S:ke•
Further than this his Majesty's antecedents do ot
warrant us in extending our confidence. The demot'
stration, at recurrent periods, of his predominance
in Europe is for him a domestic necessity. It
is for Frenchmen the compensation for that
privation of liberty in which they so strangely
acquiesce. If the Emperor's ascendancy can be
established peaceably, well ; but if not, still it must
be established, and that in a manner patent to all
the world. Before this overwhelming necessity all
mere sentiment gives way. The fact does not con-
cern England nearly so much as other countries,
We do not live from day to day on assurances of
the influence we exercise in this or that foreign,
capital. But our external policy is founded on respect
of the rights of others, and we know that there 19
a point at which pressure such as the French Em-
peror seeks to exert becomes unendurable, and leads
to war. The British Government has a most serious
duty to perform in deciding on the answer to be
returned to the Emperor's overture; but its course,
we imagine, cannot be very doubtful. The Empe-
ror's proposal, though in many points objectionable,
should be examined with a view to ascertain
whether it is capable of modification,so as to become
the starting point of a work useful to Europe. The
British Government cannot be expected to embark
on a pil iF y of adventure. We ought to know, among
other things, whether any limitation of the subject
of discussion will be admitted, and what is its prin-
ciple. We ought to know, moreover, what will be
held to be the position before the Congress of a
power unwilling to make the sacrifices which may
be required of it. When war has placed some of the
parties to a Congress in a position to exact, and
others in a position to yield, concessions, the recon-
structive work of diplomacy has a basis in fact ; but
this is not the situation of the Powers now con-
voked. No general necessity furnishes a guarantee
of general consent' For himself, the Emperor Na-
poleon may easily promise magnanimity and mode-
ration, because it is well understood that, although
France may gain much in this Congress, she is not
to be asked to give anything. The difficulty will
arise entirely out of the situation of other States.
The English Government certainly cannot attribute
to the Congress power to override the rights Of
sovereign States, and if the intention to do so exists,
and the combinations are prepared beforehand, we
shall do better to stay away. We cannot lend our
sanction to acts of aggression, past, present, or to
come, with whatever specious sentiments or impos-
ing show of authority it may be sought to cover
them. The Emperor Napoleon will be asked, there-
fore, to present his scheme in a more definite and
appreciable form, with guarantees for the respect
due to international rights; and upon the nature of
his answer the decision of the British Government
will depend.
