THE ANGLO-FRENCH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Th fowins article from the New Orleans Delta, on the
,., gt victory of the allies in the Baltic will be read
b interest The details of this Bomersund victory-a
name by the way vastly like Boomerang, Hndoo play
,hin that hurts no one and makes great noise AS it
saiIs On The ,sind-show that it very small
affair after all and that the acquisition that il has
been accomplished is not very highly valued Indeed we
see that the allies doubtful whether It had not better
be abandoned When recall the glorious deeds OF our
troops in Mexico, small army invading great territory
and covering themselves with glory at every step how In
6ntely miserable these little trumphs OF the great
armies of France and Engandl
.BomEasusp-B omersund it said, has been taken,
and much exutaon expressed over that In
itself this very small affair, but the only tangible
of the allies gives them some excuse II not
right TO hurrah Bomersund is sort outpost forhcation
on one of the Aand islands, which lie in the middle OF the Gulf
of Bothna than hundred miles from the mouth OF
the Gulf Of Finland The capture of this place brings the allies
about as near ST. Peterborough the possession OF the
Shetland islands would be the capture of London. Except
as station winterng resort Bomersund will be OF little
value to the allies and yet the capture of this distant
outpost involved little trouble and doubtless, consdera
BILE loss to the allies In Of the dispatches from the Bal
feet published in the English journals, we ind the FOL
lowing note of preparation for this great undertaking
AUGUST 3-The time for moving the troops up to Bo-
merund will be to-day tomorrow little delay has oc
but it from the humane OF
much possible For this therefore, each snip mas
been ordered build large platforms for large lower
deck guns These be landed and to be used
the fort land side which is deemed weak and IN
capable of resistance continuous siege directed to point
that has been lately discovered heard Of will enable us
soon to make breach in the fertilization without exposing
ourselves to of their large guns The men-owar
il thought will close to the batteries unless OF ur
gent necessity will shell the place while the troops are
investing it.
From this it is probable that the reduction OF Bonner
sund by the French soldiers recently despatched
from Bouogne under paraguay diliers This would de-
prve the British of all the glory of the affair." as their ships
were of striking distance. We should rejoice in
this the British have less for getting into this war
the French The latter urged by military glory
the recollection of disasters inflicted upon their arms,
and gmas upon their military pride by the Russians in the
wars Napoleon Besides it is sound policy in the EN-
peror keep his restless military population supplied with
some for their military pride and ambition The EN-
peror Louis Napoleon the Gar Nicholas suggested being
sovereign might too, be excused for entertaining
hostility towards ancient and established monarchy
But England thus reckessy involve the of the
world merely keep up decaying and crumbng empire
of embarbarous Mahomedans is offence against reason
propriey and and hope that the result
will be impress that view of the subject upon the minds OF
! the English government and people"
