The intelligence brought by the Washing
ton and Niagara, is of universal interest IN
many respects. That which will be most in

Ia another column, we publish the speech OF
Louis Napoleon at Bordeaux. 1t will be seen
that he scarcely DISCUSSES his resolution to &C.
cept the crown. The signs from all parts of
France, seem to indicate that he will 60 in up
on food-tide of popularity. The French
know best what suits them, we suppose, and
they certainly have right to settle their own
government in their own way. In the mean
time, it is cheering to the friends of humanity

mined to make peace the ruling policy of his
government Much has been said by his ene-
mics, especially by the English newspapers,
about his thirst for conquest, and an idle tale

crown of that Monarch, to revenge the wrongs
Of his uncle upon perfdious Albion. II his de-
claratons are worth anything, he is thinking

by force of arms. Should he continue at peace
during the rest of his life, he has laid down in

always been considered the best index of the
stability of government. The expression o.

other nation, so Immediately and so profo und-

probably, as much to her central position on

The English papers are filled with accounts
of the last expedition in search Of Sir John
