AN ENGLISH View OF PRINCE NApoLsss's

reader will be interested in the curious LEADING
article of the London Herald of August Il
which we transfer to these columns, touchine
the political designs Of France in connectisa
with the present visit of Prince Napoleon 70
the United States. Our British philosopher in
question has his suspicious that the Prince, n
the character of an innocent traveller, is really
an emissary from Louis Napoleon, spying ouA
our weak points and taking soundings in regard
to French protectorate or principally over
our revolted cotton States. Thus we are told
