THE ONLY ROAD TO PEACE.

The London hder of January 9th has
been received al this office, ani under the
head of .The onIy rosd to Peace" has
soar ysrv fine reasoning, addressed prin-
cipally TO the powers that be-" of Great
Britain. We cannot but rejoice that the
cause Of the South is so abI, represented
in Ergland. In dispelling the illusion that
hnancisl exhaustIon. or military success or
failure will end the war, il holds this Ian
guase: Ailania lafeitigsneer.
Financial exhaustion will not end the
war. What matters il whether the debt is
double, or trebel or qaadruple. what IT now
IS, when with peace and separation departs
the only hope Of paying that debt: The
hope deferred NAV make the heart sick. but
the destruction of the last hope is death.
Whatever party or men msy take posses
slnn Of the Federal Government. they can.
not shake off the legacy Of war to winch
they will iall heirs. Peace means univer-
sal bankruptcy; the war can do no worse.
Military failure cannot end the war.
When the last army OF invasion Is destroy.
ed they will It'll have the power to block
up the channels of the Southern hatbors
and to rayage its sea coasts and river banks,
and so long as it has the power will exer.
else il. Military success cannot end the
war, because it is as impossible for the
Cnnledrrstes TO conquer the North, and to
dictate terms Of peace in Philadelphia or
New Yurk, as for the North 10 dictate il
at Richmond Or Montgomery. When the
war shall lag from sheer physical exhaus.
tiun 0f the combatants, u will not then
cad; predatory expeditions will take the
place Of great campaigns; but the peace
which Is to restore commerce and revive
industry will be as far OF as ever.

II follows. as a matter Of course, that, If
e Mexicans prefer monarchy. it is for
interest Of France to support them 10
Mat path.
There will not be wanting people who
will ask you why expenJ men and money
to found regular Government in Mex
leo.
ln the present state of the civilization of
the world, the prosperity of America is not
matter of Indifference to Europe, for it is
that country which feeds our manufacto-
r,es and gives an impulse to our commerce.
We have interest in the Republic Of the
United States being powerful and pros
porous, but not that she should take pos
session Of the whole Of the Gulf of Mexico !:
thence command the Antilles IS well as
South America. and be The only dispenser
OF The products Of the New World.
We now see, by sad experience. how
precarious is the lot of branch of manu-
iacture which is compelled to procure its
raw material in a single market. all the
siclssitudes Of which it has to bear.
II, on the contrary, Mexico maintains
"ti lhuepcuucHCc dbu tnc iHtcSElly VI ueF
territory, If sable Government be there
constituted with the assistance of France,
we shall have restored to the Latin race on
the other side the Atlantic all its strength
and all It's prestige I; we shall have guaran-
teed security 20 our West India colonies
and to those Of Spain; we shall have es-
tablished our friendly influence in the
centre Of America. and that influence, BY
creating immense markets for our com
meree, will procure Us the raw material
Indispensable for our manufactures. Mex.
leo thus regenerated will always be we'll
disposed towards US, not only out Of graft
tude, but also because her interests will b,
in accord with ours. and because she viii
find support in her friendly relations witt
European Powers.
At present. therefore, our military homo
engaged, the necessities of our policy. III,
interests Of our industry and commerce, al
conspire to make it our duty to march ol

Letter from Napoleon 70 General Forey

fon'ainebieau, July I'd. 1852.
NV DrsR GEsgRaL:-At the moment
when you are about TO start for Mexico.
charged with pnlItlcal aud military powers,
| think il useful To make you we'll acquaint.
ed with my ideas
The line ol conduct yeu will have TO fol
l.w is: 1. To publish on your arrival :
procIsmation, the principal points Of which
will be indicated % you. 2. 10 receive
with the greatest kindness all the Mexi.
cans who shalt present themselves. 5. Not
10 e.pnuse the quarrel at any party 10 de-
clare thateverything is pro, isional. so loag
az the Mexican nation shall not have ex-
pressed its opinion to show grea, Difference
for religion. but at the same time to tran.
quilize the holders Of national property.
4. To feed. pay. and arm. according TO
your means. the Mexican auxiliary troops.
and make them play principal parts 10 the
combats. S. To maintain among your own
troops, as well as among the aurilisries,
the most severe discipline; 10 vigorously
repress any act or word insulting to the
Meaicans, for the pride Of their character
must not be forgotten, and i is important
FIR The success oi the enterprise 70 conclil.
ate the good feelings of the people.
When we have reached The city'of Mex.
ico, il is 10 be desired that tie principal
persons of all political shades VIM shall
have embraced our cause should come 70
an understanding with you to organize
Provisional Government. The Govern
ment will submit TO the Mexican people
the question Of the political regime which
is to be definitely established. An Assem-.
bly, will be afterwards elected according TO
the Mexican laws.
You will aid the New Government TO in.
troduce into the Administration, and par.
ticularly into the finances. that regularity
VI which France oilers the best model. For
that purpose capable men will be sent 70
second its new organization.
The object 70 be attained is not 10 i'm.
pose on the Mexicans a form Of Govern.
msnt which would be obnoxious, but 10 as
sist them In their rifsrts 10 establish, &C.
cording 70 toeir own wishes, Government
which may have chance Of stability, and
can secure TO France the settlement OF the
injuries OF which she has ts complain.

tion to this branch Of home production.
Wool is scarce. but enough reaches the in
terior South from Texas and Mexico to
supply the mills, and much of this is made
to go further by mixing it with cotton.
which is drug ia the market, and can be
had almost for the asking.
Tanneries have been numerously estab-
lished, and particular attention is now paid
10 the preservation of hides. which is &C.
complished by some new process not re-
quiring the use of salt, and which may be
considered as one among the first original
inventions Of Southern genius, drawn out
by the necessity OF the occasion. Former.
~ the hides Of cattle slaughtered for the
use Of the armies were thrown away as
worthless, hut now they are reserved and
sent TO the tsnneries. whence they reap
pear in the form Of good leather. Many
Hint hides find their wav across the Mis-.
slssippi into Texas and the Red river, and
many more are converted into leather in
those regions. The skins of all animals,
including those of dogs. cats. game. and
yermin are preserved, and command good
prices. They are tanned and made to an
swer ene purpose or another.
The Confederate Government monopo.
lizes the whole supply Of the best leatheI
for saddles. cavalry and artillery harnes.
and military accoutrements; and the over.
plus. Il any, is manufactured into shoes for
the armies. These boots and shoes of the
best material, are distributed 10 the officers
and priyates are supplied with those Of 10
ierior leather. T.
The addition 10 these leading manufac
