A SsaxIrrcANr PAxrnLn.--One Of
those pamphlets which 80 often precede
the contamination OF . contemplated
,asasare BY the Emperor Of the French
has lately made its appearance in Paris,
and has thrown the correspondent OF
the London Mems into fever of appre-
hension. The writer is NJ. Chcvaiier,
we'll known in literary and political cir
Giles q an author Of great power. The
correspondent has no doubt that the
pamphlet is inspired by the Emperor.
from the fact that it is in perfect harmony
with the known leanings" Of that
Monarch. In its general scope it argues
that Ne xico will bc Of infinite value to
France, and that the expected value is
only to be realized by an early recogni-
ton and intimate alliance with the Con-
federate States The Southern cause is
pleaded with SO much iervor, and the in
stitution Of slavery defended with so
much ingenuity, that the correspondent
Of the Ne1s thinks Mr.. Slidell himself
could not have done it better. At the
same time, he thinks Mr.. S. would not
have urged the overthrow of the Monroe
doctrine, Tin which, We take it, he is
much mistaken or made such preach
ment about the Latin races. The
pamphlet says the present condition Of
Mexico is the personal work of Napo-
leon; for while everybody else was con-
sidering the expedition as a mere mill
tary affair, he had already settled, in his
own mind, 1.-the basis OF an entirely new
policy" The imperial Instructions to
Gen. Forcy contained the following very
significant sentence
"In the present state of civilization the
prosperity of America is moi Indifferent to
Europe; for 1t is America which fee eds our
manufactures and commerce. We are inter
ested IN seeiug the United States powerful
aud prosperous; but it is not for our inter
est that she should get possession OF the en-
operations dOmincer over the Antilles aud
the South, and become the sole dispensatOr
Of the products of the New World"
France is not only determined to re-
sist the absorption of South by North
America, but she will support the Latin
races in the Western Hemisphere. Fo
rey's expedition is to be followed by an
'.army Of merchants" and ''the recogni
tion Of the Confederate States will be
the consequence Of the Intervention. y
The fine climate Of Mexico, its unrivalled
fertility, the variety and exuberance Of
its productions, are dwelt upon with
something very like rapture. Universal
suffrage is recommended, on the ground
that in Mexico, the PleJs are the friends
of order, while the upper Or aristocratic
classes are the worst of Anarchists. Emf
grafton on large scale, under French pro- |
lection, is also recommended. Whether
Macmillan accept or not, emigrants will
be protected by French influence.
So far, so well. But there is one idea
preached in the pamphlet which we wish
to bring prominently before the public.
After intimating that the leaders of the
revolution would be quite ready to yield
its leading principle slavery in Difference
to France, the pamphlet says: THE
first power which recognizes the Con-
federate States will have right to OBJ
tain, in favor of the negroes, much larger
concessions than the Federal States would
make in case Of their restoring the Union
by victory" 1t is as well to put stop
to all calculations of this character at
once. If Napoleon mean to interfere
with the question Of slavery in any way
whatever, or to ask anything else in
consideration of recognition, We can
have nothing to do with him. We claim
recognition as right. We are entitled
to it from every nation on earth, and we
will pay nothing for it. We would,
as gratuity, give France great
advantages in trade for term OF years;
but we will never submit to have the
game Of Nice played upon US.
The pamphlet goes. on to say that as
soon as France recognizes US all the
other States will do the same; the small
States first, and finally England that
our force will be quintupled by the al
hesion Of Austria on Maximilian's ac-
count, of Spain on account of Cuba, and
lastly it speaks Of the French Nayvas a
powerful argument to dissuade the North
from prosecuting the war any farther.
There can be little doubt that this
pamphlet is one Of the Emperor's feelers.
Uncertainty indicates an early recogni-
ton, if we are to judge of peoples inten-
tions by what they profess to think
right
Whatever may be the issue--whether
the pamphlet prove to be the verita-
BILE programme Of the French En-
peror or mott is certain that the
Yankees are very much alarmed. AL
ready they have invented a story that
Mr.. Slidell has offered Texas as bride
to France to secure her recognition, as if
Mr.. Slidell or anybody else had the right
to make any such offer. and as if the
Emperor does not knoU that he has
no such right. Each State beyond the
Mississippi is sovereign and independ-
ent-is nation in itself--and can break
