THE ANTI.ENGLIsH POLICY OF FRANCE AND THE
UNITED STATES.


THE AETIENGLIsH POLICY OF FRANCE AND TIE
UNITED STATES.
The attention of the Paris press has been directed TO an
article in the Time In which some not oVercoroial snu
ments declared in most expressive manner Ihe
journals Of this capital had for the last lew days warmly
congratulated their London contemporaries on the wise
moderation which they evnced in abstaning from COM
meats or suggestions preudica the result Of the peace
conference at Paris The article OF the Times has oopse
queny fallen like hunderbolt amongst the compacen
advocates Of peace reseV whilst their previous
are transformed into hearty abuse of the
offending journal The Dsbas quotes the article, and ac
companies it with the remark that Tits general protest will
suffice without entering into details" The Union more
explicit and asserts that "the conduct of the English jour
nal authorizes every disdan The assemble rationale is
most explicit for it addresses homy, in three columns
TO the appreciation of the Times from which extract
the following passages
"The Times is official Journal and nothing author

ministers before Europe after the language held by Lord
Palmerston and particularly by Lord Clarendon in the
chambers Of Parliament cannot suppose them to

by the Times But everybody knows the influence

the most faithful organ of the national feeling of Eng
andof that feeling which its frmest and most clever
Statesmen of the land must consult and which many find
il convenient to follow blindly. We find in this

and therefore, its appear worthy of the most
attention There is truth in what the Times has

Times say what she has eeed the continent iho

the enterprise England is exhausted any than
France But both understand that the aim of the having

because her dearest interests teach her policy which shall
prevent these divisions and struggles the continent
which always increase the preponderance of England 1t
is not in ideas to adopt exclusive jealous hostile
policy towards England. W. .cish merely to relieve the
continent from her prsponderane and peace concluded

that sentiments hostile and injurious to England
