Foreign Department, q from the fact that the
American Minister at Paris had already been
notified by the French Government that France
in conjunction with her faithful ally, England
would not tolerate the transfer of Cuba to the
United States, even if Spain consented to the
sale" Wonderful
That conceited, vain and -worshipping
people are " surprised" that the United States
Government should persist in endeavoring to
acquire piece of property against the COM
mands of Louis Napoleon and England They
cannot conceive how any one can doubt the
Omnipotent power of one against whom, they
are taught by their Police to believe, it is an
objectionable sin to say word. They can't
conceive it within the range Of possibility that
the American people would treat with contempt
any such intimation, from their master and the
British Government, that they q would not
tolerate the transfer of Cuba to the United
States" Of all the people on this broad earth
who make any preteutions to love of liberty
the French are the most contemplate.
