THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE EhPEROR'S
LETTER.
From The London Times, Aug 3.
The Emperor Of the French appeared before us
yesterday in new and by means ungraceful char
scter. We know him well az An accomplished orator,
as the writer of soustirr proamations, and as the
infpirer of pamphlets announcing changes at which
mol arcs tr. ole their thrones. Bat he comes be-
fore us now in another characterize frank and IA
miliar correspondent. The Emperor has written let
ter to the British nation through the Transparent me
dunn Of bis ambassador, very much as one private
gentleman might confde his sent ments and opinions 20
another. If this be diplomacy, it il pouacy stripped
Of all its pomp and trappngs, without its caue ad
its snuff box, iis STAR its diamond hed sword, ana lts
cooked hat diplomacy 10 its plainest garb and IN It's
least reserved humor. Mankind have hitherto been
disposed 10 consider tpat great aft 's must ha'e lao

Iobes talk blank verse, while the servants, solter'

precisely the terms, aud with as much eas1 and
simplicity as if he writing Of the manage neot Of

shortest way to our hearts il by openn,ss aud plain
dealing and that be ia more likely 10 obtain the object
he seeks by studied srtlessueis and careful slmpc
than he to bestow upon us all thJs5 hgures OF
