NAPOLEOy'S VISIT 70 ENGLAND,


THE recent visit of Napoleon Ill andhis:
wife to the Queen Of England, is the theme
of many paragraph for our news mongsrss
He was received at London by the Lord
Mayor, and responded to his remarks as fol:
lows ,s. -..e'.s :.
"My Lord Mayor: After the cordial res
ception have experienced from the Queen
nothing could affect ME more deeply. than
the sentiments towards the Empress and my,
self to which you, my Lord Mayor, have
given expressions on the part Of the city Of
London; for London represents the ayaila.
BILE resources which worldwide commerce
affords both for civilization and for war
Flattering as are your praises, accept them
because they are addressed much more to
France than to myself; they are addressed
to nation whose interests areto.day every.
where identical with your own, (applauses}
they are addressed to an army and navy uni-
ted TO yours by heroic companionship in
danger and in glory, (renewed applause;l
they are addressed to the policy of the two,
Governments, which is based on truth, on,
moderation and on justice. For myselE.E
have retained on the throne the same sent.

glish people which | professed aS an exile
cloud and prolonged cheering) while 1 enjoy,
ed here the hospitality of your Queens; and
if have acted in accordance with my con-,
viction, it is that the interest of the nation
which has chosen me, no less than that of
universal civilization, has made it h duty,
Indeed England and France are. naturally
united on all the great questions of politics
and Of human progress that agitate the
world. From the shores of the Atlantic to
those Of the Instrumentation the Baltic
to the Black Sea-from the desire TO abolish
slavery, to our hopes for amelioration Of all
the countries of Europe-~l see in the moral
as in the political world for our two nalions
but one course and one end. (Applause.) If
is, then, only by unworthy considerations
and pitiful rivalries that our union could he:
discovered If we follow the dictates of com.
mon sense alone, we shall be sure>o Of the
future. Loud applause. =
You are right in interpreting my presence
among you as fresh and convincing proof
Of my energetic cooperation in the prosecu-
ton of the war, if we fail in obtaining an
honorable peace. Applause.l Should we
fail, although our difficulties may be great.
we may surely count on successful result;
for not only are our soldiers and Sailors Of
tried valor-not only do our two countries
possess within themselves unrivaled resour.-
ces-but above all-and here lies their supes
riority-it is because they are in the van of
all generous and enlighted idea The eyes
of all who suffer instnctively turn to the.
West Thus our two nations are even more
powerful from the opinions they represent,
than by The armies and fleets they have at
their command, (great applause.) | am
deeply grateful to your Queen for affording
me this solemn opportunity of expressing to-
you my own sentiments and those of France,
OF which am the interpreter. | thank you
in my own name and that of the Empress
for the frank and hearty cordiality with
which you have received US. We shall take
back to France the lasting impression made,
on minds thoroughly able to appreciate it,
of the imposing spectacle which England
presents, where vrture on the throne directs
the destinies Of country under the empire
Of liberty without danger to its grandeur"
LOUIS NApoLEoN's F1sIT TO ENGLAND.
a late English paper contains letter writ
ten by Victor Hugo to Louis Bonaparte,
from which we extract the following: ~
"What are you coming to do here! What
your objects Whom are you going to insult,
England in her people, or France in hey,
exiles? Arc you coming to talk about tho;
Crimea! Have care! The subject is one
of deep mourning The disaster of Sebas-1
topol opened the sides Of England even more
than those of France. The French armyis,
in its death throes-the English army is
dead-a fact which, if we may credit those.
who admire your fortune, has made one Of.
your historians say: 'We revenge Waterloo,
without having willingit. Napoleon Ill has
done more harm to England by one year of
alliance than Napoleon by fifteen years Of
war;" -. ="
