"In case that the Prince Louis Bonaparte,
present President Of the Fr,ncb Republic,
should get himself elected by universal SUI
lrage ms Emperor for life, the powers will not
recognise that new form of elective power ill
after explanations shall have been demanded
from Prince Louis Bonapartc rs to the sense
and meaning of his new title, and after he shall
have taken an engagement-frst, to respect the
treaties, secondly, not to endeavor TO extend the
territorial limits Of France; and thirdly, formal
| ly to renounce all pretensions TO the conunua.
ton or founding Of dynasty.
In the case that the Prince Louis Bonaparte
should declare himself hereditary Emperor,
the powers will not recognize the new Empe-
ror, and will address 10 the French Govern
meni, as ell as 10 all the other European Gov
ernmcnts, protest founded on the principles
of public law and on the letter of the treaties.
| They will afterwards consult, according to the
circumstances, as to the Interior measures
which they may think 1t necessary to take

Louis Bonaparie. or simply in the case OF the
death of TINT parsonage, the powers bind and
oblige themselves TO aid and flvorby all means
In their power. the restoration Of the legitimate
heir of the crown, aud IN tie sequel they will
recognize 40 other dynasty but that of the
Bourbons and no other claimant but Nj. Count
dc Cbambord.
In acting thus, they protest before hand
gainst the imputaton of wishing to attack the
independence Of France. France is free To
game her internal government us she chooses,
aud the powers do not reject the system called
constitutional, any more than they reject any
other system.
But the recognition of legitimate and hercd
ltary royalty does not interest France alone /; it
interests all European States. 1t is national
principle in as far as regards France and an
international principle in as far as regards the
other European powers. Ii is on this account
that the right and tho duty devove upon the
sovereigns Of defending that principle, and of
assisting 1t to triumph in as far as that depends
upon them"

party in this country, Tint will play into her
hands--aid her in breaking down our manu-.
lactures-prostraling our industry and open
ing our ports to The products of British inge-
nuity, capital and labor. Nothing Imaginable
is more natural-but, that there should be
found among us, party ready to promote this
ignominious bartcring away Of our indepen-
