During the last two days the first question every asks
is as TO what people say in England Of the Msniteur
article. In combination with this Is the fact very
well and generally known, that great activity prevails
in the French military ports and arsenals. One hears
all sides of preparations Of tormiiabe nature,
Of the application Of the new invention Of steel plates
TO large number Of vessels, OF the construction I'm

like Engishmcn, naturally ask for what purpose, OK
cept one, can all this warke armament be intendeaf
1t is impossible to get at official Information on tho
subject such preparations, and the Aonienr de Ia

is reducing her nGrdl force IN any may which aooud

friends OF peace and the supporters Of the English alliance,
who comprise great majority OF the most educated and
intelligent classes in France, and who COMPRISE notably
the liberal party, would fam reassure themselves as to
the probabilities Of the future they gladly catch any
occasion Of doing Thus the that reached us yester

and expected that powerful Anglo French force will DO

From the Opinion Nationac Of Paris, Sept. 13.
Despite the vaciang character which the necessities OF
very complicated situation may stamp upon the policy Of
the French government, we are fully persuaded that,
while desiring 10 fulfil its engagements IL continues to fol-
low by diplomacy the end it had in view during the war,
and that the independence Of Italy is the object Of all its
efforts on this ground can feel assured of the support
of England, one cannot see whence difficulties should
sntta
csa,on Of ZEAL to repair the shortcomings Of the policy
pursued by the tory cabinet and would appear that this
en- post aeo cutlery is not agreeable TO the French govern
which after having borne the burden aud heat Of the
day finds itself oudOnc III words by the aborers OF the
eleventh hour Nevertheless there believe that
the susccpbiies and shades OF attitude will quickly dis
appear before common diplomatic action Ii, during the
war; England too much lost sight OF her character of H.
bcra Power, she evidently remembers it now This is
enormous fact this is precious guarantee for the
rights OF Of Italy As to France, she has shown too plain
~ hcr solcitude for Italian independence TO leave tue
slightest doubt to her Intentions and ii her official
language, less distinct than that of England has retained
the impression OF the negotiations of Vlatranca nobody
has right 10 suppose that, when the time comes, she will
abandon to England that part OF liberal Power to which
deeds are after all more serious titles than words
From the Paris Pays Sept. 1871
Since the appearance of the article in the Aoniter,
singular movement has been observable in some Partisan
journals. The duches have been left aside and England
has become the object of vinegar observations aud
threats. The meaning Of such tactics easily de-
teced 1t is hoped that the public, remarkng the conci-
dence of these attacks with the declarations ofthe
ter, will infer that the latter contains something
harsh or offensive against our neighbors. 1t
would be very difficult however, to justify such
a point Of View. England is said TO desire the
meeting Of congress. Nothing is natural England
holds too high position among the great Powers
desire lcgimacly to take part in the settlement of the
great questions which interest Europe But France far
from opposing congress, wishes for it heartily de
rur1) rs the Moneur itself declares Only it is very
evident that matters are not ripe for the immediate
bling Of congress The signed at yafranca is but
preliminary Peace must be signed Zurich between
the begerent parties before questions Of general order
be brought before Europe. England and the other
Powers have themselves declared that they would wait
pronounce upon The opporuneness of congress till the
preimnares of Hrich should be converted definite
peace. The Offensive articles to which we allude are
wholly unjustiabe, and they have the bad effect Of
throwing doubts the public mind upon the relations
existing between the governments of France and Eng
Manifestations which have nevertheless not ceased to be
perfectly friendly, and ohch ,o be dra,on still more
firmly By The necessity far undertaking common a ya
expedition for arenging the outrage offered to the combined
flags in China.
