"MB TIMES" AND THE Mgflcl'lNG 0?
THE EMPERORS AT STUTTGARO.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

Sir,—An article appears in the Times of this
morning, evidently written to order. This article
refers to the proposed meeting of the despots
Alebrander and Napoleon at Stu tgard. The Times
gives the go-by to the real object of the meeting,
and would fain make it appear, according to the
new light which it has recently obtained as to tho
views and character of Louis Napoleon, that the
French Emperor has no other object thin to secur)
the'reace (f Europe.
I have just returned from Paris, and have heard
the subject frequent lydiscussed, privately, of course,
among liberal Frc-nclimen ; and with your permis-
sion, I will give you their unanimous opinion of
the, objects of the propoFel meeting. I shall trans
late a conversation I had with a distinguished
member of the late National Assembly, as his
sentiments were those of a'l the others with whom
I cOnverei

"Louis Napoleon," said my friend, " detests
your country and Englishmen, however much his
policy may force him to pretend the contrary.
Your free institutions and your great prosperity,
resulting from those free institutions, are a stand•
ing censure upon hts own Government, and the

infamous means by which ha obtained his present
Position. He perceives that as long as England
maintains her liberty his own power is in peril ;
for we all look to England as our model in self-
government, and are continually making c impa-
risons betwixt your state and ours. At the pr,—
sent time Louis Napoleon is obliged to court the
English Alliance, for he knows that just now a war
with England would destroy him. He knows well
that England has only to supply the malcontents
in France with arms, and to lend the refugee Ge-
nerals and others the aid of your ships, in order
to upset him, and this almost without striking a
blow yourselves. He is now quite aware that be
is detested by the great majority of the French
people, at least by the great majority of the
Parisians, and by every man of the slightest pre-
tension to education and liberality.
" It is on this account that this accomplished
hypocrite seeks the alliance of England at present,
and professes the utmost attachment to your coun-
try, in the same way as he declared, when President,
his love for the Republic, and that he would be the
most dishonourable of men if he forgot his oath, and
did anyth'ng to upset .a form of Government to
which ho owed everything. All these declarations
were made to gain time. But, as soon as the pear
was ripe, he made his famous coup d'etat, ' and
laughed to scorn his former professions.
" Depend upon it' he reserves a coup d'etat for
you, and this meeting with the Emperor of Russia
is a preparation for it. He orders his organs,
'French and English, to declare that his only ob-
ject is to propose a general disarmament among the
armies of Europe. This is all fudge. The large
armament in France is not kept up for the defence
of our frontiers. It is kept up for the protection,
against the people, of the Emperor, who knows
well that if the immense garrison of Paris were dis-
banded, he would not rem'iin a week on the throne.
The real object of the interview betwixt the two
despots is the promotion of another Holy Alliance,
which Austria and Prussia will afterwards be in
vited to join. This alliance will have for its object,
by joint action, and by the mutual co-operation of
each other's armies, to crush the least attempt on
the part of the respective nations over which they
rule to throw off the yoke of tyranny, or to obtain
liberal institutions. When this alliance has besn
once formed and firmly consolidated, then gale
vous, Messieurs les Anglais. Our Emperor will
then think himself sufficiently strong to throw off
the mask and show himself iu his true colours
He will take advantage of your Indian disasters,
and every other disaster, and dictate, or attempt to
dictate to you, under the joint name of the alliance
of despots. He will issue his orders to you, as he
has already done to Belgium, to alter your laws
with respect to the press and the asylum given in
England to political refugees. Or otherwise he will
threa en you with invasion.
" I don't believe he will ever attempt to add
England to France. This would be too dangerous,
and he recollects the fall of his uncle. He will
confine himself to the attempt to force you to
alter your institutions, so as to be more in con-
formity with those he has octroyed to France.
And your Queen and Prince Albert will be invited
to lend their co-operation. Your Sovereign will
be told by the alliance of despots—' We do not
wish to unseat you, quite the contrary. We only
wish to improve your position and your dignity,
and to make your Government more in unison
with ours.' And perhaps, as is natural, such a
proposition may find a responsive chord in the
breasts of your Queen, of Prince Albert, and of a
great part of your aristocracy."
Such, sir, is a free translation of what was said
to me by my friend iu'Paris, whose name, of course,
I cannot mention, as this would expose him to
persecution, perhaps to transporiat;on to .Guiana
by the man of whom the Times has now I e,;ome
the eulogist, but who, I can assure you, has the
character of having been one of the most distin-
guished liberal and honest members of the list
Republican Assembly.
Reform Club, Sept. 25.
