TIE .ScLa-TREsch "ENTENTr coApIii.E'' AND
TIE AMERIcAN REBELLION.
The handspring of England's policy is a
fear and hatred to Napoleon III. Submitting
to the appearance Of an entente cordiale, Eng
lands statesmen de5pise and fear their au-
gust ally" and constantly work against him
to the extent they dare go. Europa Is upon
the eve OF strange events. Great changes are
likely soon to occur upon that continent. ant
not tho least important OF the signs frhe 1irues
is the fact that England will not act with
France iii relation to the recognition Of thu
South. His.:i ~" rebellion first broke out
England hastcucd to give proof of her syn
pathy with the seeding States and since then
her leading journals and her leading state7-
men have on all occasions betrayed feeling
of great i'll will towards the North. AT the
beginning OF tha struggle England was in
clined to Intervention and would gladly have
joined France in any action inimcai to tho
Washington government; but Mt that period
Napoleon sag net prepared to act He was
watching the turn Of affairs, ready to take
advantage Of them. BIZ. no brilliant oppor-
tinity occurred. The Trent episode did, it Ia
true, give him the occasion Of prolferinc uon1e
good advice to Mr.. Lincoln and his Cabinet;
but, to his deep chagrin, tho advice was ac-
cepted. Napoleon snd Palmerston we're
probably never so much surprised as when
they found. thst the United States govsrn-
meut could act with firmness and renaon.-
Trey we're told that the people you'd iorcn
the American government to keep back tho
traitors for whom the row was meda, hut
found ont they were law abiding people,
having confidence in their rulers aud willing
10 accept their decision.
This turn Of affairs quito defeated Tie plans
of Napoleon and Palmerston, and good ex-
cuse WAS left for interyenrior,f Since Lhep
events have ocSurrc,l sUrh AS rc ciiaaSS Fir
lanfs policy, and now she will not hsaT Of
intervention. She sees Napoleon ent2nEled
in thht Mexican expedition. and also that

may not Lave hal in thi. demonstration OF
the Llheratrr? II is her policy 10 counterfeit
the influence of France, and no greater blow
could be atrlck against Napoleon than that
Garibadi, at the head OF hundreds OF thou
sands of Italians should dictate TO France IN
immediate withdrawal sIom Rene. When
Napoleon the Great returned from Elba the
French locked to his standard their enthu-
siam knew nc bonds. Who can SAY tina, we
shall not Witness similar demonstration in
favor of Garibald Who can predict that
The long tried people of Italy will not riss as
one man snd follow the Liberator If 80,
|har changes may wo not witness? Italy
may become a great and powerful republic.
Spain, under the guidance Of such rrer rs
G'DOnnell aud Prin, would surely follow the
example; and Thht could restrain the French
people from al indulgence in their fG7orite
hobby-Libe'ie, EYuuists, Frdternitie?
All these and stranger things hang in the
balance, Tor Gsribsldi is moving, and vho
can tell where he will stop? Englend's
statesmen see these things, and they no Ion
ger dream Of intervention 10 our affairs
They will not act iu concert with France
now, for they are aware that Napoleon's
power Is On the wane. AS last and more
atupendous consequence of coming events,
Napoleon, enraged hy the conduct OF England,
may cast his lhst great stGke, and make war
upon his present ally. When we have ended
our Present stri(e-1hich must now .ermi-
nate soon-we shall witncsd strange events

once more, witness tho rotten desrot.s1a of
Europe crumhlc to tho earth before the swak-
ened energies OF their subjects; md not tho
least sssnt in bringing about such result
will hpve been the conviction in the minda Of
the people Of Europe that our form Of gov

nation. The world will wonder st the exhi-
hiiion; and, as we said before, the o5arepie
will prove fatal to the despotisIns Of Eurrge.
