Tu, EsalIsH AND FRENcH.-An inteih
zen, London correspondent of the N. T.
Herald expresses the belief that a latent Jeai-
ousy is creeping up in England respecting
France, and that something like Suspicion
Of playing Louis Napoleon's game for HIM is
suggesting itself to mems minds' III 'ne
opinion of an intelligent correspondent, 'he
thinking part of the English community are
to impute more ambitious motives
to him than they were at first Wiling 10
admit, and they are inclined to collect
proof of this in the more exalted tone when
French journals are already beginning 70
take. Austria and France, says the Consti-
tutionnel, if the conference of Vienna fall
will be found combating side by side, ON the
upper part of the vistula, in common strug-
gle which may prolong itself to the frontiers
of Poland. a. well as on the banks OF the
Danube. The people, it says, whose instincts
are rarely at fault, have characterized IN
their own picturesque language, the fortn-
coming spring campaign as the war OF 'ne
Three Emperor

from the Crimea that the gallant BRUSH ar

French at Alma, Bslaklava and 1nkermann
ON whose buckler the cruelest blows OF
Russia have fallen-who have done all the
fighting work, while the French cautiously
and skilfully husbanded their strength-are
now a mere auxiliary to Canroberts army
that they are useless in the post OF honor;
and whenever the towers of Sebastopol see
their own flag give way to another, it will be
to see high above all the tri-eolor OF france.
Yes, England, with all her pride, her boast

of as the carrier, the mechanic, the artisan OF
the world-not military power, whose ac-
tusl share in the siege operations must be
confined to the supply of such material re-
sources as she has ever at command, and for
the production of which she has such I'M
bounded facilities"
II has been evident to all rejecting men
from the very beginning of the unnatural al
lance between England and France that 1t
would prove mere rope Of sand. They
have been enemies from the earliest mo-
mepts of their national existence; they will
be enemies to the bitter end. England, pro-
badly, might forgive France, for the English
mind is magnanimous. and England's pride
has never been much wounded by French
victories France cannot forgive England,
for in everything that relates to military glo-
ny, France is supremely vain, sensitive, selfish
and narrow.minded. Will Waterloo ever
pass from her remembrance? Did not Eng
land, ON that fatal field, with profane and
bloody hands, tear down her idol! Did she
not cage her eagle on an island rock, and
compel him to pine and die in captivity, all
on account of his love for France? French
men may pretend to forget this; they may be
all adulation and genuhexion just now, but
none are more practiced in the arts of dissi-
malation, either in the drawing-room or the
cabinet than the nation whose chief is
achieving victory over England by his
cunning, which the arms of his uncle were
unable to accomplish. 1t is not strange that
England, on her side, should be cut to the
quick by the contrast which the condition OF
her army in the Crimea presents to that Of
France, and at the evident complacency with
which the fact is observed by her French al
lies.
We are of those, however, who believe
that any calculations which France may
build upon the military weakness of Eng
land, founded on the decentralization of the
British army in the Crimes, would not be
sustained by the results of future collision
between the two powers. England has been
unfortunate in her Ministry and her Generals;
but under other auspices, in the council and
the field, she would prove herself as formi-
dable barrier to French power, as in the
days of Wellington. Were war to break
out to morrow between England and France,
the Baltic and Black Sea squadron would an
initiate the Navy of France, and throw a
wall of fire around Albiot. which would set
the fleets of all Europe atNefance.
