THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, JAN. 16, 1860,

The Emperor NAPOLEON 111. is the very Genius
of Surprise—of surprise sometimes as st Irtling as
it is magnificent. He certainly does things with
a masterly hand, and leaves the world to wonder
at the results so teeming with promise. On the
prosent occasion he has enacted the conjuror with
two strings to his bow. He has partially liberated
mind from the most gross assumption of spiritual
power. Bat he has done more—he has touched
belief with the spear of ITILURIEL, and he has
smashed the bonds of commerce with the bolt
of JUPITER. He is, indeed, the very beau ideal
of NAsliTril's all-crushing hammer. We have

often, as occasion required or circumstance pro-
voked, dealt very freely with NAPOLEON, both in
eulogium or censure ; we can therefore with cordial
praise thank him sincerely in the catholic name
of humanity for his chivalrous doings, for they
are doings, in the cant meaning of the word,
both spiritual and commercial. lie has used the
priests until his purpose was served, when they
blindly thought they could still use him in their
turn. He has suffered the monopolists to practise
their crooked ways because he did not wish to
have too many irons in the fire at once while he
was quietly growing in power, and so undermining
the ground under their feet. And now that he has
felt his strength, he blows all their monopolies and
themselves into the regions of nonentity, leaving
them to wonder at his might and curse their own
well-merited doom ! Their long-cherished cupidity
has been their ultimate ruin. You might as well
attempt to convince BALAANtS understanding as
reason with a French Monopolist. He had but
one argument, and that was all centred in
himself—and for himself atme. The world
nay, his own country—was only made for his
prosperity. Ile seemed to overlook that wherever
monopoly throve those who paid for it suffered in
proportion. Privilege is only conceded at the
expense of others, whether it be to individuals or
c lasses. But the evil carries its own remedy in the
ad,—for where it is abused, concession ceases and
VE 'ngeance rears her head. The few cannot with-
gal u the many in such cases, for where right is out-
rago retribution is certain to ensue. And so the
mom ,polists of France, like those of England, are
brow gilt to book with a strong master-hand.
We have immense pleasure in commenting on
the EM VgROR'S decision in the interests of French
