Uncertainty would seem to be the order of the day at
both in the exterior and INTERIOR
The external policy of the Emperor is certainly anything
but clearly Defined and the only thing that would
evident is that he is obeying fatality over which he
has control whatever 1t cannot be the interest of
France to rush into with England and particularly
into what would be Of aggression on Frances part
Yet things crowd one upon the other in way that
threatens to leave, in few months, almost alterna
tive save that of That France has been, and is,
increasing her forces by land and to aperectly form
idal e proportion = absolutely certan and the bare
faced habit of telling what is untrue alone have rem
ered possible for the government to have denied this
in the Montar 1nat France nua do something to es-
cape from the impossible position in which she is placed
at home, is also certainty but how war Is TO be un-
deraken when money entirely absent it would puzzle
the wsest of all political economists to say. Money may
be considered secondary subject when national enthu-
sasm raised and the of the French repub-
lie there to prove that people Without shoes and
stockings may be, when sufficiently enaes match for
coalition of regular, well paid and well-fed armies
But this enthusiasm is Notwithstanding good deal of
noise and buser not easy to excite in this country as
might be imagined Ii enthusiastic feeling the part
of the of the French nation could be raised against
any country there be doubt then that with
that country might be practicable and successful
thing and that in such money might be OBJ
tanned to favor the purposes of carrying such
hut for the moment no feeling of the kind hurrcs
the French, would prompt them to any sacrifice The
army is camorous for occupation but it is vague spe+
of desire that actuaes it, after all and far he
ouis Napoleon is obliged to resist this tendency
the part of his troops who in reality his masters.
What thiri should be narrowly watched is the effort
perpetuay made to excite hostile feeling in France to-
wards England and also towards Austria The Coat
toaaa has, within these few days. had two articles that
have created considerable sensation One, the first one,
furious alta TX upon England os to the affair of the
Regina CaH, and long yituperatve retor upon her in
three columns for what she has accused France Of with
regard the slave trade in which retort she is told to
look at her msdecds in India etc. etc This article,
signed Amedde Renee, is like all the articles signed by
that individual, communication from the Foreign
Office, and for this it has decided Importance,
and has been lengthily noticed by the Times. The
second article is the one in yesterday mornings Cou
doni also signed by NJ Renee and directed by his
ployers against Austria In this article Austria is
sharply taken task not only for her so-called
intrigues and manouvres with regard to Turkey the
Herzegovne and the Montenegrin territory, but she is
bitterly upbraded for her bad faith in allowing the
journals of the Austrian empire to speak of any dangers
that possibly threaten Europe through the agency of
France. 1t is quite true that the Austrian newspapers
lattery (and indeed may say all those OF Germany
generality have alluded to the conduct of France and to
her probable necessities Of more frankly even than
have the English ones Now, In the middle OF all this
and to serve kind Of comment upon It, there is the
visit of Prince Oro He came here quite privately he
officially he went to Fontanebleau almost imme
datey and there nothing could exceed his intimacy with
the Emperor One of the persons nearest of all to the
person of the chief of the State that Oro had
less than seven distinct and long interviews with the
latter, but Of these nothing whatever not rumor,
has ranspred There not wanting politicians who
believe that Louis Napoleon will end by concedng to the
Czar all his utmost ambition desire in the East and
who impressed with the conviction that what
the project Of the former Emperor with Alexander will
be put in practice by the present with Alexander H.
If Louis Napoleon should in reality go this length I sup
pose there is little doubt, then, of his getting Russia
with him, heart and soul But doubt If be will secure
her upon any other terms Russia is in respects in
the position France, from other What
has in the of the latter been produced by successive
revolutions and by the present system of military des
potism has been produced by in the of the for
mer. Russias resources by means unlimited,
though they probably far considerable than
those of France But, as with France if any national
enthusiasm could be excited the situation would be
Immediately altered and much become possible that
not so before. ~ Naa tQ titas
The Russian populations are perhaps more hostile TO
England than even the French, and It might be
polite plan the part of the Car to Join together all
the classes that the emancipation of the sers has gone
wenigh to divide in immense national enterprise
against an enemy who, rightly wrongly is consider
ed as having by the Crmean expedition betrayed what
Outstanding friendship. England is hated by
the Russians almost much is Austria but she is only
less despsed IL the cards that France and Russia
joining in offensive and defensive alliance the latter
might, by pouring large portion of her armed forces
into India make the attack that the British
pre has had 70 sustain in modern and at the same
time increase her own power and stability at home.
Nothing, take it, will induce Russia to risk such
venture this the the part of France
that Consantinople shall be open to the Russian feet
Will this be givenY there is the question. i-g -
AT the time there is doubt however that the
English system of German alliances might render the
above mentioned scheme less easy Russia than it may
at first appear and here to those words of Lord
John RUSSELL which repeated to you when they were
spoken, e. some two or three months ago ''Wben
minister will prevent Louis Napoleon from doing
with Russia against England what he did with England
against Russia between France and Russia will raise
up fifty millions of Germans" All and any of these
combinations within the range of possibility and
conagation throughout Europe may burst forth within
the next six months. But, said at rst uncertainty
is, for the present moment the characteristic of tho inn
perial policy both internal and external
There has been small amount of indecision in the
proceedings between the Emperor and his cousin Prince
Napoleon upon the subject OF the latters Governor
Generaship of Algeria. A month ago the matter
settled, and 'PionPion Gas he is called positively
TO start for his Vice Royalty having got the better of all
the ministerial objections to his Pashack in French AZ
Tc But little by little often occurs whero Louis
Napoleon is to to any definite resolve, the obeo
tons of the ar Minister and of the generals in com
mand came to be attended 10 than they had been
at first, and great hesitation the result II the
Prpce had vigorously held to going out TO Africa, ther>
il doubt that the whole would have been very prompt
y decided, for he is of the people who have
incontestabe influence over the Emperor but he did
not care for the appointment, which he, after all only
regards in the light Of splendid exile therefore no inss
ance on his part to countebaance the efforts made
