You may, however, be somewhat puzzled to
hear so constantly, these rumors of interven-
t'oa and mediation. As rule, you viii OBJ
serve they come from France. I think can
explain the matter. The leaders of the rebel
hon thought England could not do without
cotton, and whether she would or no. must
assist them. They also knew, what all the
world knows now, that the aristocratic party
here haEed all things American, and would be
glad to assist SO far as possible in the work of
destroying the Great Republic. The Rebels
did not and could not for moment admit
that cotton was not king, and on nothing
counted with more certainty than help from
England. How wonderfully God in His
providence arran ged it so that the withhold
ing of cotton was the salvation OF the cotton
manufactures l have already shown. And
the very interest that was supposed would
brake through all laws, human and divine, to
those who do not understand the cotton trade,
found its interest topretest against the very
act 1t was supposed they would commit, in
fact. to be the potent voice against it. Feeling
that England must be on thar side, the next
step was TO secure France. She must be bribed.
How? The Emperor has cousin; an Amer
lean known here as Patterson Bonaparts, Of
Baltimore whom it would be for family rea-
sons well to provide for. We know the rebel
hon meant monarchy. Who so desirable as
Mr.. Patterson Bonaparte? What could so
please the French Emperor as the magnificent
prospect of great Bouapartist kingdom or
empire in North America2 How it would de-
light France ard revenge all her devotees
therei Now you have the key. | need not
work out the problem. You can do so at your
leisure. Only can say think you will find
the key to fit all the mysteries you cannot ex-
plain. Ycu viii find, as usual when he has
deep game to play, Louis Napoleon makes some
one else the cats paw, while he pretends the
greatest friendship for the party he intends to
cheat. He kept his plans secret encouraged
the Tories of England to interfere in America,
and he would assist. Gets Spain to interfere
in Mexico, am, he would assist. How near he
succeeded in befooling Palnerston and Russell
in the Trent matter the world sees. Spain was
put to some expense; so was England; and 1t
was only after Almonte went TO Mexico that
Spain and England found what the real game
Was. They were not deceived by the announce
ment that an Archduke of Austria was to bo
the King, though the Archduke himself may
have been. Hence their otherwise quite mys-
terious retreat from that expedition Hence
the change in the English press, so that the
Times is forced to say there is no intention to
interfere in America. Hence, so far as | can
see, growing tendency to conciliate, on the
part of Spain at least, the United States gov
ernment and hence the otherwise mad prose-
cution of the Mexican war on the part of
France. -
But how is this thing to work. Easy
enough. Patterson Bonaparte is elected (?)
King of Mexico. What better name for the
great Bonaparte Empire in America. Seces-
sia is, by the acts of the leaders, annexed to
Mexico, and France, who only fights for ideas
stands godfather to the brat thus born. 1t is
notorious fact (explAia4l Above) that every
Bonapartst in France is for the South, while
every Otleanist and Republican is for the
North. That England will not discourage the
effort OF France, you may rely. Not that she
hopes or thinks it will succeed, but she looks
upon all exhaustion of France as lar gain.
That Palmerston will now retort on Napoleon
and encourage him Oh to his harm, believe
but that does not imply that he wishes him
success. Bad as he hates America, he hates
France more, after all Disraeli charged him
in the House with the proposition that Lyons
and Mercier were at lcggerheads. You can
now see why. Palmerston denied it, and you
can believe as much as you please. That Mer-
cier has deceived the American government
can believe, but he should not be able to do so
any longer. 5Ea4
The Patterson Bonaparte view of the Amer
lean difficulty was presented to me some
weeks since. l said nothing until / could re-
view the matter, put together the chain of evil
plain. j think it will be found the trail to the
rattlesnake's den.
What is, then, to be done? Time is all gain
to us, all loss to France. Time prepares US
for a great war, conquers and reclaims the
South, so that she viii go heartily into the
punishment of France for her treachery.
Time cools down the excitement in England
/ and strengthens the hands of our friends here,
who ara many, wins over the wayering, which
makes up the great majority, weakens the
| French alliance, and turns England's face to
| America The French are great at dash.
Americans are great at "hold on.a France is
easily exhausted; we grow stronger by con-
| hict. A bad harvest, few reverses, and Ma
poleon will have his hands full to keep his
| throne Time is our great weapon, and if
Seward can arause them by diplomacy for six
months, we can fall on him like an avalanche.
| e
There has been great change in the Euro
pean mipd about America, and 1t is going on.
| Time is there working to our advantage. The
feeling in England is from highest to lowest,
one Of great relief to find she has kept out of
the American war. That feeling will in the
end bring other and kind feelings in time.
We pick up crumb of comfort now and
| then on the slavery question, but we still long
for the great work of emancipation to begin.
