slluds to the MoSRoR doctrine and that Other
~doOlrlno againal forming ~eniAngling alliances
with European powers.
The indications now arc that France viii
stand alone in her determination to intervene in
American Asairs, As beth England aud Russia
have refused % cooperate with her In an applt
%cstion for an armistce. In this event France
naturally becomes the friend and ally Of tn,
South. and Il 10 reasonable 10 suppose that, our
Independence being achieved. we should be both
ready and willing to form treaties offensive snd
defensive with her.
These thoughts have been suggested by the
perussl Of q well Slgested article in the Mobile
Register ca the subject Of the late proposition
of Intervention made by the French to the
British and Russian cabinets. AAer cOngratu'
leting itself that the ball Of Intervention had
been set in molten, the Register proceeds to
state that there is another feature of the latest
kilograms which attracts our special attention.
It gives a~tteraHce to a thought we have frequent
" laid before our readers, and which we feel con.
yineed win be realized in the sequence of events.
The London Saturday ReCisto hints that the Em-
perOr's designs in Mexico are complicated With
his movement for Confederate recognition. We
have always believed that this would so turn
out. To him is left Singly of all the European
powers to crack the hard nut of Mexican dss-
tiny. The Mexican government, or rather mis-
government, has long been a nuisance to the
civilized world, and q stencil in the nostrils of
all decent nations. Utterly fsithleEs in the OBJ
~ssrvaaee Of her treaty obligations, indebted to
all the werld, preying upon her fOreign com
msree, and reckless Of the rights Of the subjects
and citissRs of foreign powers within her limits,
she has sorsly psrpls1ed the ministers and tried
the patience Of foreign governments. There
are in the catalogues of her offences against the
old United States the germs and the Justification
Of q dozen wars for redress, and there is not 8
power in Europe or America that cannot estab-
lish q just easus bella. Diplomacy Is a means
of redress has long since been exhausted, and
hence, France, England and Spain came to a
joint conclusion that nothing but an armed In
PREVENTION was available to bring Mexico 70 a
sense of dscsncy, by striking at the rost of the
evil and giving her q durable and respectable
government. England and Spain became
frightened at the undertaking and backed out.
The French Emperor became the sole legatee of
the job, and instead of backing out has in
creased his feet and his army in that country.
The New Yerk Herald tells Us that NAPOLEON
with thirty thousand soldiers cannot do what
Scott did with ten thousand, and predicts that
he will End the Moscow in Mexico which his
Uncle did in Russia. That sams Herald believes
that the Abolition North can subjugsts the peo-
pie of eleven Confederate States. So much for
the value of its judgment HNAPoLEON chooses
to conquer Hexico, be can do il unaided. Bat that
he will choose to do it by the easiest process, and
by drawing TO him the Tesdiest assistance,
take fer granted. As he knows that he is to
find q rival and an enemy to his designs il
America, it is quite natural that he shOald desire
a ~belpmats and a friend on the same continent.
The revolution in America has helped him to
the latter, as the MONROE doctrine +" had sup
piled him the frst. He knows, as we Dc, that
the Confederate States could not regard a !
Puritan supremacy in Mexico with indifference
the MONROE doctrine has become q
purely Yankee AOstrum, in which the
South has lost all interest, and that Nc should
the colonization of Msxieo by Hot
entots or Fsjses, much more by Europeans,
han by ahs cruel, fAithless and relentless bRrbs-
isns of the Christian and civilized Puritan
North. Look at the map and mark the old and
nuch-talked Of boundary line Of the Sierra
Aadrs. 1t is not a very dsfnitiVs line, to be
rurs, for it has its eastern and northern branch
bat with the aid Of art nature has marked
nat a boundary which would beautifully round
If the limits Of the Southern Confederaey. and

'rity and grandeur Of natural scenery, are not
pprssehsd in any part of the old URion.
