pacify Italy, strengthen Belgium, purge Switzer-
land, and obtain the attachment of Germany and
the Hanse Towns, by offering them a share in the
dominion of the seas. Holland and Prussia al-
though Protestant, ought to be comprised in this
European confederation against Russia and Eng-
land which have become Asiatic powers. Who 1
would prevent France from advancing to the '
Rhine, or Prussia from obtaining maritime stations
and colonial establishments ? There would be a
German navy and an Italian navy ; the Adriatic
would bless Austria, who would restore it to life,
and the flags of Sicily and Sardinia, mingled with
those of Rome, Venice, and Trieste, would frater-
nise iu the free waters of the canal of Sui.z ; a canal
which must be constructed, if necessary, with rocks
torn from the reef of Perim. All Asia would then
belong to all Europe."
Our contemporary, having thus satisfactorily dis-
posed of thefate of the world, divides the minor spoils
in an honourable manner. Spain, having, with the
help of France, delivered herself from the "revolu-
tion," will be presented with the territory now held
on an expiring lease by the Emperor of Morocco, and
" will construct cathedrals at Fez, Ouassen, and
Morocco, instead of raising a statue to the Jewish
financier Mendizabal." Portugal will receive glo-
rious kingdoms in India and Africa. The Spanish-
American Republics and Mexico will be raised to
the dignity of Empires, which will be distributed
amongst European Princes of sound ultramontane
ideas. As for England, her downfall is at hand,
and her alliance must be repudiated. without cere-
mony :—" Let us renounce this alliance with per-
fidious, insolent England—this alliance, which has
never been cordial, and which can never be relied
on. An isolated position would be even more satis-
factory. A rupture would be preferable. No war
with England, however dinistrous, could ever
destroy dynasties in Fiance ; the alliance on Eng-
lish conditions is more menacing to them. The
issued
not of S. Helena is empty, and from it
not only the Emperor but the Empire. The
cordial' alliance did not prevent Louis Philippe
from expiring at Claremont, and that tomb will
remain closed.

THE MARIQUITA COMPANY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, —I learn from your valuable paper that a
Mr. Elias Mocatta is about to be sent on a mission
to the Venezuela Government by the Committee
of Spanish American Bondholders ; and if he be
the Mr. E. Mocatta who, ag the nominee of Mr.
John D. Powles, the de facto chairman of the
Mariquita and New Grenada Mining 0 .mpany,
obtained a seat at the Mariquita Board about two
years ago, and just prior to a previous mission of
his to South America, I for one, as a Mariquita
shareholder, would suggest to Mr. Mocatta the
propriety of bis resigning his seat at the Mariquita
Board, in order that the shareholders may replace
him by a successor who will act with independence
and vigour, and for the interests of the shareholders
alone.
The recent fate of the Mexican and South Ame-
rican Company, and the Magdalena Steam Naviga-
tion Company, ought to open the eyes of my
fellow-shareholders to the imminent danger of
intrusting the destiny of a company to the uncon-
trolled doings and misdoings of the Powles clique.
I enclose my card, with my London address, and
I have the honour to remain, sir, your obedient
servant,

CHRIS. RICHARDSON.
