GEORGE SANDERS. ESD elHacFf
My Dear Sir: 1t is now two years since ven-
tured to observe that France and England would
ultimately unite and become formidable thorn
to America in naval af1airs; and cannot but think
things are rapidly working to bring about my pre-
dlctlon. 1t has been my lot. for fifty years and
upwards, to watch the continuous changes which
have taken place in the worlds government and
have seen with sorrow the all powerful influence
OF England In keeping back improvement, under
the delusive plea that her GLORIOUS Constitution
was the acme of human invention, and that man
must be taught to see feel the truth by every
possible means which It's aristocratic rulers could
devise. quite agree with distinguished men,
Der OF the late Government of England, when he
pronounced the English Wings an ''organized hy-
pocrisy," and l should not be doing Justice to my
experience, if did not consider this the most
appropriate definition other glorious Constitution
of which the uniformed subjects of her Majesty
boast so much Russia is not blind to this fact,
and the time has arrived when she feels herself
prepared to prove that she will no longer submit
to be duped by the crafty statesmen OF her once
most faithful ally.
No sensible man can, for single moment, be-
lieve that England feels any further interest for
the unfortunate Turks, than what serves her
special purposes and she has been using her exer-
ton and influence in every quarter to make it ap-
pear that she is the defender of the weak against
the strong. How far France collectively, believes
her know not, but it serves the purpose of the
present Emperor to act in concert with her under
this bareaced presumption. The late King of
France purchased MS right to wear the crown
from England, and Louis Napoleon very nearly
treads in the path of his predecessor, and most
likely will share the same fate for his folly.
What in the name of common sense has France
to do with keeping England's door to Indiae We
all know how India was subiugated to England,
and we all know also, that England could not
play the high game of Dictator, if India were
separated from her grasp; and must again repeat,
what has France to do with it further than it
serves the immediate purpose of the Emperor
l am not going to advocate the right OF Russia
to subdue Turkey; at the same time cannot see
how England has a right to expect that Russia
will remain passive witness to England's tr-
umphs, to her injury, in common with that of all
other countries which have been obliged to sub
NIT to her absolute pleasure. Russia has the
power 10 liberate the world from Englands grasp,
if she has the virtue and courage TO do so. If she
peases she can free Poland, and all that part of
Europe on the Adriatic shores, and form them into
confederate governments to her advantage, secur-
ing at the same time the shores of the Black Sea,
as to have free passage to the sea In that
quarter; and by uniting Prussia and Denmark on
the one side in confederate union with herself,
keep an open door for her shipping in the Baltic
but she will not be able to absorb those coun-
tries and amalsamate them with Russia, even if
she wished it. And further, England and France
would ultimately liberate Europe rather than
Russia should conquer any portion of it. Russia
is the best friend America has at this moment,
and America can help her in the work of regener-
ation America has money, and Russia is in want
of it: and no dopbt Russia will be glad to contract
a debt with Anlerica at the rate of six per cent.
not by obtaining cash, bat for cash north in ships,
and the means of keeping up the uh those rio
oppose her. America can build her ships to any
extent large and small, and American ships can
take out Russian seamen for them, as passengers,
and which neither France nor Eng land can pre-
vent England would break with France to-mor-
row could she go back TO her original position
with Russia; but this she must not be allowed to
do, ifthe world has right to be trecl
She fears America, but she does not respect her,

blind to this fact; and they never had better
opportunity than they have at this moment to
teach England to understand her uuty. Had Ma

handed down to posterity as another Washington
and YOU probably know how his uncle regretted
the loss of this chance and il he is wise man he
will not let it slip from his grasp, although England
will try hard, and kiss his foot to prevent it.
America surely has some friend in France, who
can venture to advise him at this dangerous mo-
ment before he involves himself in further trou-
bles; and it is very clear that he is surrounded
with danger Of no common character. = < X.
