Louis NAPOLEON'S POLICY.


LOUIS NAPOLEON'S POLICY.
Every reader of Louis Napoleon's speech,
fpubl,shed in yesterdays Dispatch to the
Lord Mayor of London. must have been
struck with the following passages; "Indeed,
Earlsnd and France are naturally united on
MI the great questions Of politics and human
proeress that agitate the world. From the
shores Of the Atlantic to those of the Med
itsrranean from the Baltic to the Black Sea-
from the desire to abolish slarery, to our
homes for the amelioration of all the coun.
tries of Europe, see in the moral as in the
pol;tical world for our two nations but one
course and one end" This announcement
fully confirms Lord Clarendon's declaration
that the purposes Of the Anglo French alli-
ance extended to both hemispheres, with the
important addition of an anti-American sla-
very league Hitherto, when Americans
have protested against the rampant sboli-
tionism of England, they have been told that
abolitionism was an affair of the people and
not Of the government, whilst France has
never had any thing to do with it in any
shape. Now, both governments. according
to the declaration of Louis Napoleon, are
equally united in the desire to abolish slave.
ry in America, and to ameliorate the condi.
ton Of the countries of Europe. Who car
doubt their sincerity in both cases. Have
they not gone to war for popular liberty in
J Europe, and for that purpose courted the al
lance of every despot on the continent 2
May they not 60 to war with America, III
England is fool enough to follow the lead Of
Louis Napoleon,) from pure philanthropy
