over long track of history, by the side


of international hatrcds and distrast and
rcvengcs that were never more intense
than they are to day. \ Napoleon sits
upon the throne of France, and there is
something in the heart of every English
man that tells him that he cannot, by any
possibility, wish England well. Every
! Englishnlan seems to know that If the
proper time shall ever come, the whole
power of Louis Napoleon will be exerted
to wipe out the disgraccs inflicted upon
his name and his country IN the days
gone by. There is no faith in the pres
ent alliance. There is no faith in the
Cherbourr fctcs. There is no faith in
the shaking of hands and the kissing OF
checks. On the contrary, every move
ment of the Emperor is watched with
suspicion; and the event Of landing OF
troops upon English soil is definitely can
vassed. TO the mind of the English,
the works at Chcrbourg have none bat
hostile signifcation.
Nor arc the English alone in this. -
The French themselves have seen the
shadow, and they are talking about it;
and they not only talk about it, but they
write about it. Two pamphlets have re-
Gently appeared in France on the subject,
and, as they have appeared under strict
censorship, they have perhaps more sig,
nifcance than any other fact connected
with the matter. One f these eohes
before the public over a responsible name
$. Mcdoros, who declares that IA
grand historical event is in preparation.
The pamphlet says that, care we to go to
war with England:' is "thc question
which every ybody is asking in France
Further on, the writer says: "Napo!eon
III. is meditating one Of those great
deeds with which he has before astoriSh-
cd the world" aud that this belief is
encour ,ged by imperial silence. " The
writer calculated upon the chances of
landing 300 900 men at once On the
English coast, and thinks that the poor
; and oppressed of England would hail
Napoleon as a dcliycrer lie would make
war, ia the name Of the English people,
upon thc aristocracy. The other pamph-
let INDUCES in this significant sentence ::
, "Thc Inauguration of Cherboarg is for
France festival of glorihcation for her
navy, for the nations festival of hope,
and for England festival Of cxpiation.
Further, it declares. 'steam has contra
lized England; she is no longer an island
as formerly. We can land on her shores
when we please, and where has she sol
i, dcrs to combat us!" This pamphlet is
d written by pen dipped in the very gall
0 of hatred, yet it passed under the
{ supervision of Napoleon s::,vigilant cen,
=. sors.
y We confess that upon the ccnsldera
= = tion Of few facts, apparent to every
!, BODY, this general expectation on both
u u. sides Of the channel is rational one
4 These facts arc Of three classes; those
:" which relate to history, those connected
with Napolcon's position, and thos'
Il which exist in the personal character O
! the Emperor. The historical facts, are
81 u that France has never wiped out the dis
y grace Of Waterloo and the occupation o
> Paris, nor avenged itself for the punish
Il ,ncnt OF its idol Napoleon, through tn
"a - bascst treachery. These facts cannot b
u erased from the mind of France in cen
turtles. 1t is impossible that they shoul
be; and now, when the nation is strong
with the memory of demonstrated ST
l. perlority before Sebastopol freshly i
IL mind the thoughts and the desire cf ver
4 yence spring up anew. There is muc
'e- more than this in history, but this is VI
= permost.
H. Then, as to the position of Napoleon
Al lie stands to-day before the mind
We France as a usurper. The people a
'rs content, because they have security al
n bread. The middle and upper class
nd have no love for their Emperor. Il
ost knows perfectly well that there is not
ra- in. that he can do which would SO c

be- and in this turning of the Frcuch hea
see to him he finds the hope Of permanent
