Having with great Anesse and care thus
touched upon almost every point Of the rebel
cause, the Inder next indicates Napoleon as the
predestined saviour of the confederacy. This
is the moral and object OF the whole paper, and
'tdcsrttciesis sCspectxtiY marked for our atten-
ton. "The establishment Of a monarchy in

better, eta in the history Of the New World"
says Che hader. sThe North knows that the
Southern confederacy is che natural ally Of re-
generated Mexico, and Il feels that through re-
generated Mexico France il inevitably the ally J
Of the Sontbera oonfederacy The contemptu-
oas disrcesrd Of the MQaros doctrine is more
over almost a cruel ! blow p Northern
pride and Visions of manifest destl-
ny as the secession OF the Southern
States" Then, after encouraging Napoleon to
persevere, and assuring him that the reb,ls \
will not interfere with Mexico II he will only
recognize and assist them, the Inder shrewdiy
adds, on the same principle that sly fisher I
man pretends to draw away the bait from q
hssitating fish, !" Already the idea has vaguely
presented itself to the Northern mind, as the
leest-of two evils, to give the South all it asks
su nll. that must at last be granted as the
price Of perpetual alliance against the Euro
peAn intruder. Better divide with the South
this continent 80 1t Is already darkly hinted,
than give it all to Europe.'n Will Napoleon
swallow this and hurry up his recoguitionf
We think not. The Emperor Is too old to be
80 easily caught and the latest news from this
country will assure him that the rebel confe-
deracy is too far gone to be taken into account
in any Of his calculations. It is with the
United not the disunited, States that be mus t
soon deal in regard to Mexico. An alliance
with the defunct confederacy would now rather
trammel than assist him. The significance Of
this article to us, however, is that the rebel
sympathizers in Europe, like all the rest of the
world, regard the intrusion Of France into
Mexico as Q blow at this country and round
about, backhanded, fire in the rear" method
of giving aid and comfort to our domestic
traitors. As such 1t will be properly resented
at the proper time.
The Meanness OF the Western European
Powers.
The leading journals Of France and England
have more than once since the commencement
Of our rebellion acknowledged that previous to
our internal troubles we were too powerful, too
formidable to be hastily crossed or insulted.
They agree upon the fact that our displeasure
was matter to be deprecated and avoided in
those days when. free from civil strife, and in
the plenitude of our commercial ascendency,
We promptly resented all lack Of respect or evi-
dence of i'll will. But when our hour of trouble
arrived the English and French journals revel-
led in the knowledge that for the moment our
power and progress were stayed, and in thou
sand mean and petty ways did they show their
exultation. All the monarchical governments
of Europe, save Russia, have taken advantage of'
our troubles to insult us. and have endeavorcd
to grasp some benefit, to steal some territory,
which, in our days Of peace. we should have
protected. Spain seized St. Domingo, and
would have seized upon Mexico had she not
feared so near an approach to the. wounded
eagle. England, like Spain, coveted hold upon
Mexico; but, like Spain, she feared tAesubse-
quent action Of this government What she
could do to encourage Napoleon in the rash
undertaking she certainly accomplished, and
now her journals and her leading statesmen are
urging the Emperor Of the French on to con-
quest they dared not attempt themselves.
By our latest advices from Europe we learn
that the blatant Times, Of London, bespatters
Napoleon with its fulsome praise because he
has seized upon Mexico. The Times asserts
that by 80 doing "he has rendered great political
and commercial service to the world-political
inasmuch as he has extingushed the Monroe
doctrine, and commercial because he has re-
stored intercourse with nation possessing 50
vast an extent Of territory" The remark, as re-
CARDS the Monroe doctrine, is one of those
taunts at this country which the English so de-
light to make. They think that they may safely
indulge now in fling at their "dear cousins"
and with petty meanness and malgnity they
let pass no occasion to abuse us. They have
however, found to their modification that all
their prophecies of evil for us were false, and
they will yet have to acknowledge that the
Monroe doctrine is far from being 80 effcctually
crushed "a they assert 1t is. In the Washington
correspondence of the London Times, which we
publish in another column, it will be remarked
that the writer is forced to acknowledge that it
is the North which possesses the power and the
energy and fighting qualities, and not the
vaunted South, and ere many months have
passed the world will say the same.
England, while urging Napoleon on to the
conquest and occupation of Mexico, is per-
suaded that at the death Of the Emperor his
dynasty will fall with him, and she counts upon
the advent to the throne Of France Of those who
will allow her to share in the benefits to arise
from captured Mexico. Otherwise she would
