4 Rival nysritima Power.

1t was Htged III late debate in the French,
Chambers that France could never desire the
destruction of the United States because it
was her interest to have as many strong mari
time powers rs possible TO balance the naval
superiority of England. 1t might be supposed
that such fact would operate upon Eng.
land in n different way. Bnt abe seems to
hare los. sight of this, as well as other great
points Of interest to her future position as
naval and commercial power. The Anglo
French alliance cannot be of eternal duration,
and such suggestions as this In, the French
Chambers ought to be significant of tba. fact
TO British statesmen. The French orator might
have strengthened his statement by adding
that the restoration of the United States would
not only secure the exiutsncs of naval pow
er to counterbalancs England, but one that
will be bitterly hostile to it TO the end of time.

rome two or three thousand foreigners In
Richmond have applied to the Consuls Of Their
respective Governments here for certificates
proving that they are subjects Of foreign Gov.
ernmense, and therefore exempt from the duty
of defending the land whoee laws have pro-
,ectad them, and where they have found a
home for themselves aud their families. Many
Of these men, /. lie said, have been naturalized
and have been voting fer years They now
swear tha. they are not citizens, and have
never renowned their allegiance to their for.
eigu masters. Some Of them do not even

We are glad to learn that the Governor of

that every man who has sworn falsely that
he has never been natuyalizad, but has eSr-

be proceeded against with the utmost prompt

one, and that me a Government capable OF
compelling the allegiance of its citizens. Even
In those cases, which we believe are very
few, where foreigners i'll the South have not
been naturalized, ii is a very pitifdl and IN
grateful thing in foreigners who have lived
lection, to refuse TO aid in the defence OF their
homes, whilst foreigners at the North show
no conjunction in serving under the United
States flag, and invading us with fire and
sword, even though they have not been long
enough in the country to speak our language.
