of Lyons and Paris The American conflict IS
accepted almost universally as the cause Of this
melancholy state Of things on the other side Of
the Straits of Dover. The elegant fabrics Of
Lyons and the fancy articles Of Paris have lost,
By that conflict, one Of their m st extensive mar
iets-- isdireolig that Of the present Confeder
Ete States. a retrospect Of modern revolutions
in France gives great Importance to the ouUrier:
When the blouses Of Paris cover an empty
stomach there is some reason TO fear that they
will soon after cover an armed hand. The gov
ernment Of the Emperor has in no way altered
this state of affairs, but, on the contrary, has,
by its intense Capitalization, its absorption Of
local life and of individual selt-dePendenee,
Taught the people to look to it as the source OF
I'M good-of all initiative" The people nat
uraijy enough now extend the lesson, snd hsv-
ipg been educated into the belief that the gov-
ernment deserves the credit of their previous
prosperity, are very much inclined TO think that
il now deserves the blame Of their present dis
tress The American conflict then touches vital
CONTINGENCIES in the immediate future Of the
Napoleonic dynasty. The conclusions from
these considerations are very plain coTTo5oraiions
of the current report that Napoleon is very res
tive in references TO the blockade.
The conseQu-nces of the American conflict in
their bearings en- England have no reference as
in the case Of France, to questions dynastic.
The people have not been taught 10 regard the
throne as their Providence. With governments,
however, the respOns bllity for popular distress
Ia His country is, within the limits Of inteiii-
gent good sense, direct and emphatic. Lord
PslmeTston must regard the position arising out
Of the American question with grave anxiety.
But for the present the distress here Is not as IN
France, one OF wide extent and severe operation
The operatives Of the northern counties are sut-
ferinp to some considerable extent, but not to
the extent Of the suffering in the case Of the oP-
erstivrs in Lyons and Paris. The following eX-
tract from the Manchester Gaard5aH Of the 23d
ut, shows the state Of the case there:
