THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON UPON THE
FREE EMIGRATION OF AFRICANS.

The Moni.eur of Monday contained the follow,
ing letter from the Emperor to his Imerial High.
ness the Prince. who is charged with the ministry Of
Algeria and the Colonies:
"SAINT CLOUD, Oct. 80, 1858.
NJ DEAR Cousin | earnestly desire that in the
very moment of the termination Of our difference
with Portugal touching the Charles ct Georges,
the question concerning the engagement of free
laborers from the coast Of Africa may be examin.
ed once for all and settled in accordance with the
true principles of right and humanity. l energet
ically demanded from Portugal the restoration Of
the Charles et.Georges, because l shall always
maintain intact the independence Of the national
flag and in this circumstance l needed the pro.
found conviction of my good right to risk Il rup'
ture with the King of Portugal of those friendly
relations which l feel q pleasure in maintaining
with him.
But, as to the principle of engaging the blacks
my ideas are far from being fixed. If, in fact, To-
borers recruited en- the African coast have not
their free choice, and if this enlistment is nothing
moro than a disguised slave trade, l do not desire
it, at any price. For enterprises contrary to pre-.
gress, humanity and civilization will not find a
protector in me.
81 beg you, then, to inquire into the truth, with
that zeal and intelligence you bring to bear on
everything you take in hand and as the best
mode of putting an end to continual causes of con
fict would be to substitute the free labor of the
Indian coolies for that of the negroes, l invite you
to come to an understanding with the Minister OIL
Foreign affairs, for the purpose of rosuming with
the English government the negotiations that were
commenced months ago. Whereupon, my dear
cousin, l pray God to have you in his holy keep

THE PRESIDENTS IDEA OF ECONOMY,

-HNH
Mr.. Buchanan, in his message, admits that tho
revenue ofthc country is wholly inadequate to tho
expenditures of the country upon their presens
scale. The public debt on tho lst of July, in the
present year was s54.9l0, 772.6 &C, to which sum
that Of 10000 600. the remaining half of the loan
authorized on the 18th of June, is to be added,
making the total public debt within a few dollars
of ~sixty.fve millions. Upon this state Of things
the President observes, first, that to resort to
loans to meet the ordinary expenses Of government
would be a ruinous policy, second, that the reye,
nue. must be increased by an amendment of the
tariff in some particulars and third, that q rigid
economy must be p~racticed. On this latter point
he dwells with some minuteness. The objects Of
expenditure should be reduced in number and
what appropriations are necessary should be strict
ly scrutinizcd, He has instructed the Department.
to cut down their estimates, and promises to aid
Congress to do this to even a greater extent. 'ao
This reads well. But now let us see how the
President practices what he recommends in Con-
gress, bearing in mind that the public deb. is al
rendy ~sixty-fve millions of dollars, and the pub.
lie revenue is not adequate to the public expendi.
lures even Of the most ordinary char I'm,
der these circumstances he accompanies his homi,
" on economy with the following recommends
tons, and these in addition to the ordinary ap.
preparation bills:
l. The Purchase of Cuba. 1852
2. Payment to Spain for the Amistad negroes.
). Establishment of an indefinite number Of
military posts in Sonora and chihuahua, and the
support of an army to occupy them.
4, The employment of the army and navy to
open and keep open the Nicaragua transit route.
5.The employment of the army and navy for the
same purpose with reference to the Panama
route.
6 The employment Of the army and navy for
the same purpose, with respect to the Tehuantepee
route.
I. A resort to war with Costa RIGA and Nicara-
qua, IT our demands are not complied with at an
early day.
9. The construction of more war steamers.
.. The construction by government aid of the
great Pacific railroad.
10. Some underlined boons to the District Of
Columbia. -
The President is quito anxious that q rigid
economy should be exercised, and intimates to his
Secretaries that they must cut down their esti'
mates as closely as p~ossible-they must not ask
anything from Congress beyond the bare eppro-
priatioas for their respective departments-whils

The diplomatic world has not yet done rubbing

French Colonies. His letter addressed to his cous'

Lord Palmerston is preparing, l am told, elabor

This is a frank expression of sentiment but no,
thing more, perhaps, than might have been ex-
pec'ed from the source. Mr.. Mitchell calls upon
the south to support him, and assigns in the blank
the time for which he is open to offers. If bis ser,
vices are not accepted, he proposes to sell himself
to the enemies of the South or to the abolitionists
In consideration of the last part of the threat, it is
to be earnestly hoped that tho South will be

than on that Of freedom.

DOd.e's Picture.

We understand that committe Of the
State Bank Directors are ransacking Iowa
to procure daguerreotype or photograph
Of Gen. A. c. Dodge, from which to execute
an engraving of that illustrious gentleman
to be used as a vignette of their bills
There is a peculiar propriety in this. Gen.
Dodge is very good-looking man, and will
be quite ornamental as figure head, (the
best use We ever knew him put to,) besides,
from 1888, when he became resident of
the State, to 1855, when he went to Spain,
he opposed all banks, and spared no exertion
in his power to deprive the people of Iowa
of all local, domestic or State currency
We hold it to be exceedingly proper, there
fore, that he shall now be given all the
prominence possible in this respect, and that
to this end his "phiz" should be emblazon-
ed on all the notes of the State Bank of
Iowa-an institution that would never have
had an existence had he had his way. But
will the Bank Directors tell US whether it is
to be placed there in triumph, to show that
he has been vanquished in the fight, rs the
Indians exhibit the scalps of their enemies,
or is this only another evidence of the
natural proneness Of the human family to
ick-spittieism.-Fdirfeld Ledger.
