THE EMrrnoEs LETTER TO PRINCE NAroIeoH.-
The UOnteNr publishes the following letter. which
the Emperor has addressed to his cousin Prince
of which a summary received by telegraph, ap-
pearcd in yesterday impression
"Sr. CLouD, October 30, lS5s.-My dear Cousin
i have the livelicst desire that, at the moment
when the difference with Portugal, relative to the
Charles Georges has terminated, the question of the
engagement Of free laborers on the African coast
should be definitely examined and finally settled on
the trucst principles of humanity and Justice.
81 cnergetcally claimed from Portugal the reSti-
tuition Of the Charles Georges, because | will al
ways maintain in fact the independence of the ma
tonal flag; but, in this even, it only with
the profound conviction of my right that | risked,
with the King OF Portugal, rupture Of those
friendly relations which am glad to maintain with
him.
''But as to the principle of the engagement of the
negroes, my ideas far from being settled. If,
in truth, laborers recruited the African coast
are not allowed the exercise of their free will, and
if this enrolment is only the slave trade in disguise,
Will have it on no terms, for it is not who will
anywhere protect enterprises contrary to progress
to humanity, and to civilization. | beg you then,
to seek out the truth with the zeal and intelligence
which YOU bring to bear on all affairs about which
you employ yourself
"And as the best method of putting a term to
what is a continual cause of dispute. would be to
substitute the free labor Of Indian coolies for that of
the negroes; beg you to come to an understanding
with the Minister for Foreign Affairs to resume
with the English government the negotiations
which were entered upon n few months ago.
con this, my dear cousin, | pray God to have
YOU in his holy keeping. NAPoIEoN.'
The Emperor's letter leaves no doubt on the mind
as to its real characters and many see in it some
IN ,alt, tI,,AN
far when he and those whom he inspired insisted
upon the immaculate character of the ship and le-
eitimatc nature of her cargo. The letter is so far
as it goes, homage to public opinion, which the
Minister for Foreign Affairs would do well to m-
tate occasionally. The Emperor's letter has pro-
duced an excellent effect here.
