THE AMERICAN QUESTION.
Operations of France I'm America,
LETTER FROM NAPOLEON TO GEN. roREy


LETTER FROM NAPOLEON TO GEN. FOpEy
Among the documents in the yellow
book" just communicated to the French
Chamber, Is letter from the Emperor
NAPOLEON to Gen. FoREr, commander of
the French troops in Mexico. in which we
read;
There will not be wanting people who
VIII ask you why we go to lavish men and
money for the establishment of regular
government in Mexico. In the present state
OF the civilization Of the world, the pros
perlty OF America is not matter of indiffer-
ence to Europe, for it is she who feeds our
manufactures, and gives life to our COM
merce. we have an interest in this-Uhat
the Republic Of the United States be DOW
erful and prosperous; but we have none in
this-that she should seize possession of all
the Mexican Cult, dominate from thence
the Antilles, as well as South America. and
be the sole dispenser Of the products of the
New World. We see now by sad experi-
ence how precarious is the fate of an in
dustry which is reduced to seeking its chief
raw material in one market alone. in all
the vicissitudes of which it has to
submit. If, on the other hand, Mexico
preserves its independence, and maintains
the integrity of its territory, if stable
government is constituted with the assist
ance of France, We shall have restored to
the Latin race on the other side of the
ocean its strength and prestige we
shall have established our benefcent int1u-
ence in the centre of America, and this in
tluence by presenting immense openings for
our commerce, will pro ure US the materi-
ais indispensable to our industry Mexico,
thus regenerated, will always be favorable
to us, not only from gratitude, but also be-
cause her interests will be in harmony
with ours, and she will find a powerful
support in her good relations with the
European Powers. To-day, then, our
pledged military honor, the exigency of our
policy, the interests Of our industry and of
our commerce, all make it a duty to march
upon Mexico, and boldly plant there our
flag; to establish either monarchy, if it
is not incompatible with the national SEN
timent of the country, or at all events, a
Government which promises some sta
bility.

Our Gen. GoRMAN was almost as I'M
fortunate in changing his ''base" from East
to West, as Gen. POPE was in changing
from West to East, as far as his reputation
is concerned. He is now charged with a
partnership in cotton speculation. On
board a steamer, which had by his special
orders, extraordinary trading facilities, be-
tween one and two hundred bales and
bags of cotton have been seized.

interesting letter from well-known rebel
Colonel, now on duty under Beauregard
at Charleston, to his wife in st. Louis, Civ
ING an account of dinner to the officers
of a French man-ofwar there, and to the
French Consul:
There were thirty of us at the table, TOasts
were drank to the Emperor and Empress, and
responded to by the French Consul and Cap
tain Dewquois of the French frigate Milan.
They seem to think there is no doubt that an
alliance offensive and defensive has been made,
or will very shortly be made by our Minister
Slidell with the French Government have
also cOnversed very freely with officers of Her
Majesty's frigate Petral, now in port, who also
expresses much faith in our being recognized
during the month of February.

"A Port Royal correspondent says the
cultivation of cotton is to be discontinued
by order of Gen. Hunter. The Federal
management of plantations doesn't pay.
Cotton raised by the contrabands at Beau
