ST. CLOUD, July %, 1860.
My Dear PerSigny-Atfairs appear to me to

of peace, and to live on the best terms with all
my neighbors, and especially with England.

objected. "Gou wish for peace, and you in

army and my fleet have in them nothing of a

from this amount $4,000 at Rome, 5000 in
China, $4,000 gendarmes, the sick, and the
new cOnScripts, and you will see-what is the
truth-that my regiments are Of smaller efec
tive strength than during the preceding reign.
The only addition to the army list has been
made by the creation OF the Imperial Guard.
Moreover, while wishing for 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; |
myself, close at hand, have witnessed the de
fects, and l wish to remedy them. Having

Now, then, occur the massacres in Syria
and it is asserted that | am very glad to find
new occasion of making a little war, Or of
playing new part Really, people give me
credit Tor very little common sense. If | in
stantly proposed an expedition, it was because
my feelings were those of the people which
has put me at its head, and the intelligence
from Syria transported me with indignation
My first thought, nevertheless, was to come to
an understanding with England What other
interest than that of humanity could induce
me to send troops into that country? Could
it be that the possession OF it would increase
my strength? Can l conceal from myself that

France. Her inferior organization, her moral
development, the increase OF her resources,
have still immense progress to make. There
a field exists vast enough for my ambition and
sufficient to satisfy it, 1t was difficult for me
to come to an understanding with England on
the subject of Central Italy, because | was
bound by the peace of Villatranca. As to
Southern Italy, | am free from engagements,

ems name let the eminent men who are placed
at the head of the English government lay
aside petty jeaousies and unjust mstrusts.
Let us understand one another in good faith
like honest men we are, and not like thieves
who desire to cheat each other.
To sum up, this is my innermost thought.
l desire that Italy should obtain peace, no mat
ter how, but without foreign intervention, and
that my troops should be able to quit Rome
without compromising the security OF the pope.
l could very much wish not to be obliged to
undertake the Syrian expedition, and, in any
case, not to undertake it alone; firstly, because
it will be great eXpense-and secondly, be-
cause l fear that this Intervention may involve
the eastern question; but on the other hand,

my country, which will never understand how
