In this mornings issue of the Register
we print, in full, a translation of a remar-
kabls pamphlet which has recently appear
ed in Paris upon the policy Of France in
relation to Mexico and the Confederate
States, and which. has already been alluded
to in the telsgraphic news printed in our
columns. This pamphlet has been extern
sively published and commented upon in
England and throughout Europe as en-
bolying the ideas and foreshadowing the
course Of Emperor NAPOLEON.
Our country has already been cursed by
the members of the Administration and
the people not being willing to look ugly
facts in the face. And the near future is
so ominous of tho evils which persistency
in this temper of mind may bring upon US,
that it becomes the immediate duty OF
every citizen to open his own eyes to the
condition of our affairs, and to insist
upon the adoption by the Government OF
some clear and vigorous line of policy in
respect to the complication so rapidly
multiplying upon us from abroad. All
damages of a European war on the Polish
question are at an end, and NAPOLEON can
now direct all his energies to consolida-
ting the French power in Mexico. To re-
cure his dominion over that country it is
essential that the Confederacy should sue
coed, aud the Empsor is bound by his in
terest and ambition to hlep the rebels all
he can. Ifthey succeed so does he, and if
they fail he knows that Mexico will not
long remain French dependency. On
this point the London Economist uses the
following forcible reasoning. 1t says:
Louis Napoleon, then, has put himself
deliberately and avowedly in opposition to
the srrogant pretensions of the American
republic. But that republic is no longer
one aud indivisible. With which sectl on
of it, therefore, will his occupation of Next
CO bring him into collision? With which
will he quarrel, and with which will he
form, or seek to form an alliance? There
can be no doubt as to the immediate an
swer. The success of the secession, the
severance of the old republic into two
states, is essential to the permanent occu-
patton of Mexico by France, or to the per
manent independence of Mexico as pow
erful country under French protection
since the real restoration of the Union
would once more make the American nation
so mighty and SO proud that all its old pre-
tensions would be renewed, and it would
probably be impossible for France ulti-
mately to uphold her ,otege without a con-
tiuuity of struggle, and waste OF men and
treasure which she could not endure en-
permanence, and of which she would soon
grow weary. His Mexican conquest thus
entails upon Louis Napoleon almost the
necessity of an alliance with the Southern
Confederacy, and an alliance concluded IN
time enough to enable his aid to ensure
their success and their independence. Ii
ne delays until they are beaten, and If they
are beaten in consequences OF his delay, he
will have to consolidate and maintain his
Mexican enterprise, not against one entae-
Died and diminished nation By the help OF
that nations exasperated foe, but without
aid against the reconstructed Union, which
in time would become as powerful as be
fore. We apprehend, therefore, that he
will in his heart be justas anxious toproi
fer aid Is the hard-pressed Confederates will
be to accept it; and, between contracting
parties thus mutually predisposed, terms oi
treaty are not difficult, and are seldom loos
protrscted. Even before the Mexican con-
quest, as we are we'll assured, the symra
thiss and wishes of the French Emperor
incliued him to recognize the South; and
he was only withheld from doing 80 By The
want Of our cooperation. Those sympathies
aud wishes are fortified and vitslized by
urgent political interests now.
