NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

... England-France-Ru
1t is known to the newspaper reader that
Luis Napoleon and the Emperor of Russia
have recently iniulged in pleasant tete t.te
at Stuttgart, Gcrmanic city less than 100
miles from the French frontiers What the
subject of their conversation may have been Is
unknown, for no reporter is allowed to be pres
cnt at the conference of crowned heads, but il
is guessed by many well informed observers of
European politics that this meeting of two of
the ablest managers on the continent, bodies no
good to England. The Gar is said to have
been on journey, and the Emperor leaning
that his august brother would approach 50 near
the French lines, politely announced his inten.
ton to srend All hour or two with him at.Stutt.
gard. This may be true, but the jealousy of the
English reop.c towards both Russia and France
sees something significant in the new born cor.
tiiality OF recent foes. and in the present trem-
bling condition of the British Empire il is not
strange that fearful apprehcnsions are exciting
the war-like Island.
England, from her greater distance from the
seat Of war, suffered much more severely in
Turkey than did France, and she had scarcely
buried hr dead and rensioned the surviving
officers Of her once splendid army, when the
Brtish-India revolt called for the last strength
she possessed either in men or means. Her re-
cruting officers, at the hazarl of violating trca.
ty regulations, attempted the enlistment of
soldiers in the United States for the C,imean
army, and such are now her necessities that her
agents are found in all the ci'i $ Of Germany
and Prussia endeavoring to fill up her ranks
With mercenaries. Fer East-lndia possessions
have ever been regarded as compensation for
the loss OF the American colonies, ard the pros
pcct now is that this jewel "a bloodstaned one
fom the bcginning) is about to reflect no more
light to the b itish crown. l. is scarcely ross-
ible that The difficulties with In,!ia and with
China can be settled in manner to lie of any
future beneft 10 England. The mrrdcrors and
esterminating character Of the revolt a. Delhi
exhibits determination on the part of her sub
jets there to free themselves from the CALLING
yoke of oppression. that forbids any respect of
future peace Oh terms of confidence or safety
The history OF British domination in India is
record Of crimes towards the B:ahminic wor-
shippers that finds no parallel c"en in the Slave
SHIPS OF Spain and Portugal, and the extent of
her hypocrisy On The question of American
slavery q curse which we also owe her for can
now be measured by the emo nifty of her viii
lani's towards people far in advance of the
Africans in governmental capacity, industry and
al those other traits which up. roxiinate the
character of the Caucasian race.
God forbid that We should rejoice in the
ba'cheies which have thus far marked the opc-
rat;ons of tie yellow inturgtnts Of Delhi-ihe

less and harmless women and children OF tn; If

course Of cruelty could have provoked outrages
20 danrable, so fend-like as those which are
recorded in the Pombay and Calcutta papers
and in the letters TO London. And yet this
government has been held up TO our gaze as the
model of ali philanthropy and Justice! Her
voice has been heard in lypocritc pity for the
:" DOR African" Of the American States, while
she was educating millions in Asia by the per-
scasion of the lash, the seductive power of
robbery CT the more frequent, and we regret to
say the not less characteristic: logic of the sword
and bayonet. Her pupils have graduated, and
the Internal horro:s to which they subjected
'hsir foes tells the course of tuition which they
have received. Tie people of England in this
terrible honr Of difficulty have the good wishes
of the enlightened world, but it would be false
to state that the Government or its immediate
managers and cuttlroat arstocrats could get
INFO trouble deep enough TO awaken one spark
of genuine sympathy in the breast Of any per-
son familiar with her history. .s...
But the subject Las betrayed us into greater
length than We designed. France and Russia
are doubtless arranging the wires for q united
contest with the boosted sruler of the waves"
and though policy may have dictated the matli-
Eaonial alliance soon to be consummated be-
tween the English Princess and the Prussian
Prince, We believe that in case of rupture
such as we have indicated, every principal pow :
er on tie continent, Prussia included, will be
found in alliance against her, or too fearful Of
her present weakness and decreasing prestige to
dare render her assistance.
When the rcasantry of England, the most
loyal on Garth, refuse, as they now do, to hear
appeals or to be moved By promises, to enlist in
the armies OF thereoun'ry att time then almost
the sum total Of her foreign possessions is about
TO be lost, we may calculate that the day of
her influence at home has passed away, and that
few regrets even there would be felt, should
more liberal system of government succeed
the Monarchical form which for the last hun
dred years has been totally incompatible with
the general ideas of justice and freedom enter
tanned by the English, Scotch and Irish reo-
pie.
