The COurri;r des Etats Unis, few days SINCE
after mufliEc itself in doctoral tOga and swelling
is snail, shrili voice. grasely admonShed the pce
pie Of this country respecting their false policy.
The occasion Of this solemn lesson was the non-
participation Of the United States in the dplomats
couclaye at Paris, the whole faslt OF which was Of
course thrown on the American GoVcrnne and
on the spirit pervading the nation. Passing over
the commonplace generalities of this aimonitiOn,
we beg 10 remind the Courier that the meeting At
Paris is not congress embracing general questions
even of European purport and interest, but Coz
ference respecting subject previously specified
and defined in the Five Points. Its object Is eI.
clusively TO conclude treaty ofpeace between the
bellirernts In fact it has no general character
whatever, as even one of the first European pow.
ers. Prussia, as we'll as the German Bund, is eI.
cluded therefrom. So far, therefore, the peO-
pie of the Uui'ed States have no reason to medNs
with the affair. But should the Partisan Confer.
ence, as has been supposed, be transformed intoa
Congress, even then it would not become this
country 10 take any part in its del beratioDs. Such
O Congress, held under the influence of Loib
Napoleon, can only amount TO an ukae
issued BY the great Powers without free dscd,sioa
and atterance, the smaller States being obliged to
acce pit and abide by laws imposed upon them By
the stronger SO it was in Vienna in 1918. Tie
people of the United States then, neither will nor
ought to sanction such an affair by their active CO.
operation. They have no interest in these private
concerns of European rulers, all of WHOM
are, more or less, domestic oppressOrs. Sdch
Congress must necessarily aim at Strengthening
thrones yariOusy shaken seven years ago by reve
lutions which the American people heartily apj
plauded. The equilibrium so pompously heraldd
is only in reality the traDsposition OF the predomi
nance from East TO West, or rather TO Louis Nape
leon, TO whom England serves as an appendaga
If for instance the expected Congress shouli
abrogate the exclusion ceproclaimed against tAs
BOnspartean tribe, of what interest would it be h
the American people, who have nothing to do wild
the principles of Legitimacy or bastardy, or of th.
usurpatiOn of one royal tyrant over another
At such a Congress the voice of America coalt
only be raised exclusively in behalf of the SACRED
rights of Freedom, in behalf Of all the oppressed

Polish, German Italian and Magyar natonalities and
exiles, as well as in behalf Of some 30 900 French
men forcbly expelled from their country by the
nan of the I'd of December. Ia such a concaw |
the American people must necessarily advocate |
the rights of man, defend them against robbers aui
tyrants, and against governments established per
Jas ct netas. The American people, therefore
would not have reason TO feel themselves 10 the
least honored should the sOyereigns of Europe, 81
The Courier most kindly suggests, offer them
place on the CORY and smoking ruins of liberty, to
participate in debates aiming at the further de.
tructiOn of human rights.
All this, of course, is beyond the comprehensive
of journal always found siding with slavery and
oppression, and which never protested against The |
perjured and murderous course of its Bonaparteai
hero and patron.
