Gently twice trsversed Europe from Lon
don to Slant Oul, in private letter to the
editor Of the Tribune, thus epitomi1es the
situation
have made q most attentive investiga-
tion Of the state Of public feeling in Tur
key, Greece, Italy, France, and Swilzsr-
land, and will give you brief resume on
which you may depend:
The Turks, Arabs, and all The Mohsm-
medsn tribes, hate the Emperor Of the
French and no doubt serious war msy
| be expected in Algeria and alonz the
whole Of Northern Africa.
The Greeks hate rbe Emperor of the
French; lst, because he supports the Pope,
whom the Greeks think the greatest enemy
Of their religion. ID, because the Empe-
ror has buliied them, and they have taken
entirely TO the British Alliance.
The Italians hate the Emperor Of the
French, with such hatred IS only Italians
perhaps can feel:
lst, Beesuse, they say, he gave money to
Italian soldiers 20 shoot Gsribsldi that
brigRnds, dressed as soldiers, paid With
/ French gold, did the act Of assassination
| Il am yself fully persuaded that they arc
right in that
I'd, Because he keeps their Capitol
(Rome) away from them, and hiss done all
be could to keep up confusion and brig
sndsge; TO disunite and enslsve them, in
stead Of uniting them and hberating them.
81, Because, breaking his solemn pro-
mise, he betrayed them after the victories
Of Montebsllo, Magenta and SolferinO.
9th, Because the Italians are republi-
cans, s5d the Emperor is the perjured de-
strOyer Of European Repbulicsnism. The
man is also doing his best 10 be now the
destroyer Of American Republicsnism.
The Swiss hate Napoleon, because they
are Republicans, and good ones, and
know him to be the tresoherous enemV Of
liberty.
But, what is more important than all
the rest, and it is, by the blessing Of the
Great Beirg, perfectly true, "The French
people and the French army are heartily
sick Of Napoleon"
From long practice, speak French
Hsarly he same as English, sad had ex
otllent opportunities for acquiring infor-
nation both going through France, return
ing, and sgs-n on my late visit.
l never could have believed It, On my
saying q word about the Emperor and
Mexico, peasants, farmers, bourgeois, pri
vste soldiers and officers, go of into tor
rents Of inVective against the Emperor
such as could hardly have imagined, snC
that in the presence Of an Bnglishman

people suppose. The French are fierce

look on the Emperor as sitting on tn
peak Of vslcsno in imminent danger o
eruption.
You will naturally want to know Whs
the French themselves put forward q
their principal grievances:
lst. For each of the last three years, th
cousoription hss been 100 900 q year, tn
previous maximum having beeu only 40

remain alive.
80. That The regiments sent TO MeIiC
we're selected ss being the most Republ
