The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1862-06-04

We believe there is no longer any doubt
lingering in the minds even If the most cred
ulou.. with regard to the Intervention Of
France and England. If any hopes ever were
formed by the more saneuine of our country
r,en, they have pretty we'll subsidized. The
stri-. adherence OF the grand al.ies' TO the
liao Of policy frs. adopted haa bee me h'stor-
ical. l, belongs to the past rather than the
present, aud a. portion of the paat it may
be legitimately specialized Oh.
The Emperor Of the French is proverbiai!y
the most inscrutable man, as he IL beyond
question the abiest ruler Of his day. The fact
that he as the ablest of living ru'ers, taken
In come ION with the steady athesion to his
policy of not recognizing the independence
Of the Con federate States, has II tendency TO
Deepen the shade in which his lutte ntions are
supposed to be always envelcpsd. What Oh
isct could he have had in view 2 lie could
not fail to perceive that an early recognition
would secure to France advantages, the value
Of which il would be almost impossible to ap'
prccia,e. He must have been aware that all
the benefit likely to accrue to nar, from strict
al!isuce with England would be morethan conn-
teroalauced by The advantages soon to res1ls
from a cultivation ofthe new relations with us.
He could hardly have been deceived by the
lying Yankee nswspa rere, which took care
to proclaim to Europe that We were paupers,
that ws existed only through Yankee chant
aud that as soon as we were kicked out ci the
house by Yankee doodle We mast perish in
tia streets. He must hsve seen, what Was
sufficiently apparent to everybody but Yam
kee doodle itself, that that intere sting portion
of the globe owed ell its wealth and all its
consequence to its connezion with ia, aud
that as coon se it lost the enormous market
for It's products afforded by tho Southern
States it must run rapidly to decay. The keen
sagecity for which he is distinguished above
all the statesmen Of this age, and which fairly
entities him to rank with the abiest Of any
age, could not have failed to teach him that
the came mighty commerce which had made
the steEi's rocks of New England to blossom
make her the foremost nation Of the worli.
Ha saw yoang and powerful peopio-a PEG
pie W ho had proved their determination never
to resume the ancien. connexio which they
had just cast eff, ready to lay all these ad'
vaLtagss at his feet, asking nothing in return
but recognition. AID yet, with all his world
" wisdom, the far seeing monarch of France
neglected to seizs the golden opportunity, and
it has passed, perhaps, never to return
What motive, or combination OF motives,
could have prompted the line Of policy which
the Emperor thought proper to adopt, we fad
it impossible to conceive. We hardly think
it possible for SJwards Dragging lies, or Nc
Clsl!au's ridiculous rhOdoinontade, to have de.
ceved him. lie has too much knowledge of
the world and Of men to be taken in by such
shallow devices, or sach shallow tricksteTs.
He knew, or might have known, through his
consu,s in the Southern States the exact con-
dition of the Confederacy, and the extreme
diiicc!sy it otf4rs to the realization of Stewards
ambitious projects. Still less could be have
been deceived by Lord Russell, whom, 10
doubt, he thoroughly understands. That The
English alliance presents enormous advant-
ages to France, cannot be gain said. Bat it is
not und arstood, we believe. tina. it would have
been sacrificed by listening to the representa-
tons of our ambassadors. Besides, the slli
ance with England has always seemed to Us
SO precarious that we cannot understand how
such sacrifice could have been E,.de . pre-
serve it. England is everlastingly breeding
over French invasion. France, through her
scarcely concealed her exutation
at the iadian disasters Of Great Britain. She
did not ask her advice when she went to war
with Austria. and would not to. morrow should
another such occasion arise
