Napoleon's letter to the French ambassa
dor to Lsndou, dated 25th July, is published.
He says: q. - t..... .s-.. --4.
"Since the peace of Villa Franco, have
had but one thought and object-to inaugu-
rate new era Of peace, and to live on the
best terms with my neighbors, especially with
England. Ihad rejoiced with Savoy to notice
the extraordinary additions to her territory,
from the desire to see reunited to France
provinces essentially French. But it will be
objected, You wish for peace, and you
increase immoderately the military forces of
France deny the fact, in every sense, that
my army and fleet had in them anything of a
threatening character. My steam navy is
even far from being equal to our requirements,
and the number Of steamers does not nearly
equal that Of sailing ships thought necessary
in the time of Louis Philippe. have
100000 men under arms, but deduct from
this amount sixty thousand in Algiers, six
thousand at Rome, eight thousand in China,
twenty thousand gen d'armes, the sick, and
new conscripts, and you will see my regiments
are of smaller effective strength than during
the preceding reign. The only addition to the
army list has been by the creation of the
Imperial Guard.
Moreover, while wishing peace, desire,
also, to organize the forces of the country on
the best possible footing; for, if foreigners
have only seen the bright side of the last war,
I, close at hand, have witnessed the defects,
and wish to remedy them.
"Having said this much, l have, since the
peace of Villa Franco, neither done or even
thought anything which could alarm any one.
When Lovalette started for Constantinople,
the instructions which gave him were con
fined to this: Use every effort to maintain
the statu quo. The interest of France is that
Turkey should live as long as possible"
Napoleon then touches on Syrian affairs,
saying his first thought in the matter was to
come to an understanding with England, and
asks: "What other interest than that of
could induce me to send troops to
that country?" r.s--.. .-
He also says the interior organization of
France, and to increase her resources, are
fields vast enough for his ambition, and suf-
fcient to satisfy him. -......-
cit was difficult for me to come to an
understanding with England on the subject
of Central Italy, because was bound by the
peace of Villa Franco. As to Southern Italy,
I am free from engagement, and ask no better
than concert with England on this point, as
on others. In Heavens name, let the
eminent men at the head of the English Gov
ernment lay aside petty jealousies and unjust
mstrusts Let US understand one another
in good faith, like honest men as we are, and
not like thieves, who desire to cheat each
other. To sum up: This is my inpermost
thought: desire Italy should obtain peace,
no matter how, but without foreign interven.
ton, and that my troops should be able to
quit Rome without compromising the security
of the Pope.
81 could much wish not to be obliged to
undertake this Syrian expedition, and, in any
case, not to undertake it alone: "tH .
.lst. Because it will be great expense;
o2J. Because the Intervention may
involve the Eastern question.
But, on the other hand, do not see
how to resist public opinion in my country,
which will never understand how we can
leave unpunished not only the massacre of
Christians but the burning of our Consulate,
the insult to our flag and pillage of monas-
teries which were under our protection"
The Loudon Times, while evidently dis
Trusting the Emperor, is glad of any occasion
which has elected a profession OF such
friendly sentiments, and trusts they fore
shadow policy under which Eve may
enjoy peace without being compelled longer
to support all tbs burdens Of war;"
