LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE HOLY
ALLIANCE.

aLLiANCE.
The New York Express thinks that the
combination of the three great continental
Powers against Louis Napoleon, will have the
effect of Fastening instead of retarding the
contamination to which things are rapidly
tending 10 France. We have no doubt that
such is the fact. Louis Napoleon has nothing
to do but TO make an appeal to the people OF
France, and place this insoent interference
with their affairs in its true light, in order to
insure his instant elevation to the throne. The
past, whether of glory or of disaster, is
theme which will arouse every Frenchman
who desires TO be called such.
Fienchmen, he may say, sixty years ago,
our fathers declared that the House of Bour-
bon should no longer reign o, er France. Prus-
STA and Austria endeavored to prevent their
resolve from being carried into execution
They marched an army upon us. The Duke
of Brunswick entered our territory, and issued
a proclamation threatening vengeance, be.
cause we had assumed the right of judging
our rulers. We answered him by bringing
Louis XVI to the scaffoid, and by driving him
and his Prussians back the way they came
England, for no cause on EARTH united with
them. Prussia left the coalition, and we were
left to struggle with Austria and England
We worsted the first in the campaigns of "a
and '95. In those of '96 and 81, the great Gen.
eral whose name bear, cut to pieces five of
their armies, one after another, with forces not
half so large as either one of them-defeated
them in eighteen pitched battles, ard seventy
combats; in the course of nine months, took
from them 10000 prisoners, six hundred field
pieces, two thousand heavy guns, innumera
bic standards, one hundred fortresses or strong
towns, seized the whole of their Italian posses.
sions and following them into Austria, forced
them to make peace within few hundred
miles of their capital. The same great Cen
eral, returning from Egypt, in 1893, found that
during his absence, Austria and Russia COM
bined, had overrun Italy, and that the former
still held possession of it. One campaign, of
six weeks duration, ending on the 14th June.
1900, at Marengo, wrested Italy second time
from their grasp. A third time, in 1905, Aus
tria and Russia combined against France
What success that coalition met with, let
Ulm and Austerlitz tell. Again, in 1906, Prus-
sia, coming single-handed to the conflict, was
Frustrated in a single battle at Jena. The
Emperor Napoleon had his foot upon her-he
could have extinguished her, as man NAV
tread out the fire of half burnt cigar. Russia
came to her assistance, but Russia was pros.
trated second time at Friedland. In 1909,
Austria, taking advantage Of our troubles in
spain, again drew the sword against u.s. and
was again Frustrated in the great battles of
Ekmuhi, Ratisbon and Wagram. There was
not moment when the Emperor Napoleon
might not have crushed Austria and Prussia,
from this time to 1912. But his magnani,nity
spared them, that they might become mis- bit
terest enemies in the hour of his adversely. In
1872 he beat Russia, in innumerable battles,
Blu! was ruined by the cold. In 1918, after Fri.
umphing at Lutzen, Bautzen, Wurchen and
Dresden, overwhelming numbers and open
treachery accomplished his defeat at Leipzig.
In 1914, with remnant, he defended France
against host, and would have exieiminated
the invaders, but for the treachery of one OF his
Marshals. In 1915, he was again beaten by
numbers and treachery. France, worn out by
IS years of war, was invaded by all Europe
Frenchmen, have you forgotten that the very
tyrants who then desecrated your soil, are
those who now declare that you shall take
such King as they choose for youi Do
you not remember, that these are the powers
who were beaten at Marengo, at Ulm, at Aus
terlitx, at jena, at Friedland, at Wagram, al
Borodino Have they forgotten that the
French flag has foated in triumph from the
walls of Vienna, Berlin, Warsaw and Moscow
And dare they, whose existence is due to our
magnanimify, threaten to force upon us the
Bourbsns, who caused all the b.oodshed of
our great wars !
Such appeals will be made, and they will
be successful. Wendo not believe that this
declaration Of the sovereigns il made in collu.
sion with Louis Napoleon, for the purpose of
bringing about this event, as the Express
seems to think. Strange as il may appear, we
have no doubt thatih monarchs are quite in
earnest with regard to the elder branch Of the
Bourbon family. The word legitimacy has
powerful effect upon Kings.
