ImRGrtant Position OF the Emperor Napole0R.
I'm shc Affairs Of Europe.
From the London Times, Nov
The position Of government which, besides an
ordinary control over all the supposed organs OF
public opinion, has also certain channels Of it's own
Tor statements of q more or less official character
IL not absolutely unfortunate, has at least great
inconvenience. Since we last venture TO comment
on the threats Of the Monifeur and the in
suits Of the less official though not less controlled,
portion Of the French press, there have appeared
two articles that too plainly reveal the peculiar
difficulties OF imperial and ministerial editors
The former Of these il in the Constitutional,
and the latter in the Monifeur. and they stand
rather in the relation OF the sharp and brief
Iebuke with which a master corrects the noisy
impertinence Of bis servants. We expected that
rebuke, and therefore we refrained from noticing
the absuroities OF the Constitutional until that
merial had received iys wellmerited castgation al
the hards OF its lord. We have now to consider
Them together. II was only few days ago that the
Mcniteur appealed 70 the English people against
the English press. Since that, on the 5th inst the
CCnstiiUfi0nnfi-an ultra Ministerial print, well
known 10 receive frequent inspiration from tho Fo
reign Office appealed TO the English people against
The English government. In an article, which we
are informed was much modified from the original
draugbt, the English Ministry were accused OF wish
ing tear in pieces the treaty OF Paris, with the
view Of satisfy ing an ambition momentarily dis
guised.' This Journal was accused of thinking
ment-,hc policy OF the Emperor from that Of his
Minister'S" and we are told that !. such very poor
subtleties need no reiutaiion." Many Of our con-
iemporaries believed. or pretended 10 believe, that
the original paragraph IN the Mon,feur was insert
cd without ,be knowledge Of his Majesty toe Empe
ror We never shared this impression. But, while
we regarded the brief declaration in the Honleur
as little else shan an imperial manifesto, sc felt also
that the longer, more angry, and rambling COM
mentary Of the Constitutional seriously compro-
missed the whole OF the government, from ministers
10 the chief II II should be allowed TO pass without
censure. That censurc, such was our confidence In
the good intentions Of our imperial ally, we we're
ready 70 invoke by a direct appeal We
were preparing TO ask whether the z nperor wished
10 put an end 10 the alliance and unity Of action
which had so long existed between France and
England. II was his undoubted right TO take such
a step II be deemed 1t for his own advantage and the
good OF the people whom he governed. Did be wish
10 give back TO Russia what he had 20 gioriously
conquered from her. and TO exchange our friendship
for berss IL was IN his sovereign will and pleasure.
We might have urged somewhat against the policy,
somewhat against the honor, OF sucn step; but IL
this resolution bad been taken and irrevocable as
we had been united in all honor, we should have
s,ked, at any rate, 10 part with courtesy
and dignity. This great alliance, OF which
history will have no much 70 tell, was
not TO be FILTERED away by the licensed in
Temperance OF press which Ia nothing more than
the moufbpecc OF the government. IL there was
between the Cabinet OF Tueries and that Of St.
Jan es's an irrecnpciable difference fatal TO the
continuance Of present Intimate relations, II Was
1T We should part. IA beseems great Posers, with
out patSlance and wraDghng, and with due sense
Of the vast responsibility which attaches TO mo-
mentous step. n Nm irreconcilabie diiie ence OF
views forbade us 10 be intimate friends, les ~, At
any rate, do nothing which might have a tendency
10 widen the breach 70 eumity. We should have MAZE
this appeal IN all confidence that Il would not be mis-
uncerstoe q, hoping that means might yet tie found
to avert the calamity with which we were threat
ened and protesting with all our power against the
