War Between France and England

The croakers Already begin to hail the
prosoeet OF troubles as likely to grow out OF
the debate on the Conspiracy Bill in Pa"iia
ment. The Emperor N.pole on. as well az
most Of the governments OF Europe, com
plain cftae unhanred s"oundgels who con
gregate in London to hatch Disturbances OF
public peace by plotting assassinations of
The ruling InoEarchs. The tone of the COM
plants is very similar to those uttered by
the English press twenty years since against
the tilted states "sympath'sers" with the
Canadians. TO be sure no persons IN the
nitel states went the length Of plotting
to hire desperate assassin to fnu:der the
elueen or any of her Off GERS, neither did the
English Government desire the expulsion
of the sympatGisers tut after having
harbored Louis Nap leon while he was plot
ting against tie ruler of France, she does
not relish the complaints against those who
plot against him. There is, to be sure, a
great difference The First Emperor was so
by the viii Of the nation, who declared The
crown hereditary in his family. The En-
gliSh Government, then the arch filibuster,
headed banded Europe to drive the Emper
or from the throne and restore against the
will of the French peope-the Bourbon
showed the futility of that English specua-
ton The Bourbons could not maintain
themselves and the attempts of Louis Ma
poleon were perfectly just to recover hi,
own rights rs heir of the Enpero:, declared

and confirmed by larger votes ind the

of the French people, ana recognized the
heir of Napoleon as the Emperor Of the
French Under these circumstances. it is
absurd to class the efforts OF Louis Napoleon
to recover his own property, with the mad
schemes OF vulgar cut-throats like that dis
soiute and blood-thirsty beast Ledru Rollin,
the silly and cowardly swindles OF kossu,h,
or the treacEerous and remorseless rapine
of Mazzini. Nevertheless it is not to be
supposed that the English Government will
drive out those rutfians or that they will
prevent their Vaccinations of invading the
soil of friendly powers, unless those schemes
aid in a degree their own plans The En-
glish Government did not seek to nut down
the regiments openly drilled in London to
invade Texas on behalf of Mexico, until the
Texan Minister clearly proved the matter
to the world. In how far the English ma
ton are likely to aid and abet the plans Of
the conspirators depends upon the question
| OF peace, and the present debates in Parlia-
ment are calculated to feel the public tenn
per. 1t will be remembered that a few
years since the English press sought to stir
up strife with France by the most approhi-
GUS epithets directed to the Emperor, and
the most calling attacks upon everything
French. At the time that danger seemed
imminent, the merchants of London and
the leading men Of England sent deputa-
ton to the Emperor disclain ing ali hostile
views and measures, and desiring only to
live in peace and trade in friendship This
had the desired effect. The press and the
Government retraced their steps, the Queen
buckled the Garter upon the knee Of her
dear ally and the two nations became
friends The benefits derived from this al
lance will not be jeoperdized by 6O,OO0.000
OF peoil lie because = halfdozen ruffians
chose to hatch murder in London.-United
