FRANCE. ENGLAND, AND AMERrcA.-Ihe
Paris correspondent Of the New York Govt
y,errial Adrsrsiser. under date of April p,
writes to that paper a. follows: -
.As already said, the acquittal of Bernard
will not bring about any change in the official
attitude of the French Government toward
that of England; the Emper.r knows the
county we'll enough not to cUnfound It's Cow
erpnent with the mob that hung around the
old Bailey during the trial. But more circunl-
spe..tion will be used. while they wait TO see
what England will do. Two vessels that
were about tn start for cruise on the IRISH
c,ast. received instructions 1T the last moment
before sailing to avoid showing themselves to
the Irish people, in order rot 10 create unne-
cessarv alarm or irritation. The whole French
army on the other hand is in a state OF ebui-
l!tion. and needs only to be let Loose, To attempt
the long -talkcd-ef chastisement Of 'peridioas
Albion
Il have heard Il repeated, over and over
again. this week, that with this event commen-
ccs that interesting period in the history OF
the world where the English Channel forms
tue line between despotiSm and liberty where
the charge of defending liberty and free prlE-
ciples is thrown upon England and the United
States: where, in fine, that long-talked Of un-
I
the Anglo Saxon race is forced upon them by
a common cause of which they are the natural
defenders. 1t is continental dcSpo:iSm aIrayed
against free England and America. The at
tempt of France to violate on English soil a
principle which the English hold SO dear, Is
the first stone in the edifce which is to make
the new division between the great nations.
And when tie apaQEnent. comes that England
will be compelled VI defend herself on this
principle, who doubts that America will be at
her side. to form her left wing in the defence
Of liberty? Nor can the moment arrive too
soon for never, since the days of downright
serfage, did the people ot continental Europe
suffer more than they now do
