| Will France be exempted froa. The revolu-
tionary storm that is about to sweep over the
Continent! That is question which will very
much depend upon the Emperors conduct to-
! wards this country. 1t will have been seen by
the recent debate in the French Chambers that
the opposition. headed by Jules Favre arc
making the Mexican expedition basis of reyo-
iutionsry tactics, by which they expect 80 to
damage the popularity Of Louis Napoleon with
the masses as to pave the way for bis downfall.
Nothing would more facilitate this result than .
false step on his part with regard to this country
| By attempting to dictate to the North or to in
terfere forcibly in our affairs he would place
himself entirely at the mercy Of the red repub-
LEANS France would become fresh theatre
OF revolution, and, instead of being able to lend
his efforts to restore order on tho Continent, he
would himself be one Of its FIRST victims. The
Emperor no doubt appreciates these dangers
as clearly as we do, aud therefore we infer
that he will readily fall into Mr. Seward q plan
of terminating our difficulties with the South,
seeing that it involves no damage to his own
interests, and that it will sooner than any other
put an end to the suffsrings Of the French
operatives An to the Mexican expedition he
must by this time see the folly and hazards Of
the enterprise, and will withdraw his troops
as soon as he can find decent prctext to do So
The Westward Course or Manufactures-
Retribution to Old England and Now
England.
We learn that the mechanics sent out from
Lancashire to America by the benevolence
Of Miss Burdett Coutts have been waylaid
at Halifax, and persuaded to settle in
Canada. They will not, however, long re-
main in that cold, barren region. They
will hasten to the richer soil and more
genial climate Of the Western States,
where many Of them will be sure to make for
tunes The abundance of water power the
cheapness Of food. and the high prices caused
by the duties on all manufactured articles i'm
ported from England, and the e4orbitant de-
mands Of the manufacturers Of New England,
who take advantage of a tariff which In many
instances is not only protective of theirfabrics,
but prohibitive of foreign compstition-these
things all combine to render the West at this
moment the paradise ofmanufactuers and there
can be no doubt that ere long thousands upon
thousands Of operatives will emigiate from Eng
land, either under the auspices of manufacturers
from that country or under contact with en-
terprising capitalists on this side the Atlantic.
Never was there such remunerstve field for
the employment of capital and mechanical
and manufacturing skill, and we have no
doubt that if the war continues much longer
such an exodus from England will take
place as has not been witnessed in any other
country in modern times. If the British aris-
tocracy desire to prevent revolution, owing to
distresSin the manufacturing districts. at .
small expense, let them pay the passage OF the
operatives to the United States. And Louis Ma
poleon, by adopting the same policy may avert
tenth the expense which his fruitless expedition
to Mexico will cost him.
AS regards the British olgarchy, the present
deplorable condition ofthe masses Of the popu-
lation under their dominion is but the retrbu-
tive Justice ofProvidence. For more than thirty
years they have encouraged the abolition cru

calculated that they would break up and divide
the republic. They have been. so far, success
full in that but what have they gained by it:
They have sown the wind and now they must
reap the whirlwind Their manufactures are
deprived Of cotton, and the hands which earned
their bread by it are idle. They calculated
that the North would not resist the secession Of
the South. They are disappointed. In another
calculation they turn out to have been equally
mistaken They expected to obtain free trade

there. to the exclusion Of the North.
That vision has already vanished. The block

the rebels ever succeed in establishing their in
dependence. tariff will be necessary, il not to
protect their own infant manufactures, which
are being developed by the war. at least to
obtain revenue to pay the war debt and to de-

this is not all. The best skill of England will
emgrate to the Western States, and there estab-
lish manufactures which will defy all competi-
ton either on the part Of Old England
or New England. As to the latter. it will also
soon reap the fruits Of its fanaticism. For a
series Of years, in combination with the British
aristocracy and the Southern secessionists, lead
ing politicians in the New England States have
been insidiously laboring TO bring about the
partition Of the republic. The people at first

their counsels AS to give them power and posi-
