Lewis NasslesN and the Yankee DssrSsis,n.
The circular Of the French Minister O
Foreign Affairs, published In our paper o
to-day, IA an interesting official paper. Tit
eayacious Emperor Of Frarce has hoot
in Stewards mouth. and through him play,
the Yankee Government with his wontet
skin and srt lie will land the arch. intriguel
euccessfully. The complacency with which
the French Minister explains TO the French
agents abroad the purport Of Stewards dis
patch TO MI. Dayton IL admirable. Stewards
communication to Dayton itself was ths
'shappy dispatch" Of the U. 8. Congress
and the French Minister'S recital, explaining
the insignifcance and final death OF thai
body, IL both felicitous and triumphant The
loud talking and threatening Yankee Con-
rress is as helpless In it's manifestations OF
rare. as was the cross dog In the ship yard
who furiously bayed Mr.. Qailp; and tic
French Minister regards the Congress with
as much OF mischieyous delight, as did Mr..
ouiip the dog aforesaid, vainly esssying to
break from his chain.
1t will be curious to observe how this dip.
lomacy between the Lincoln Government
and the French Emperor will be received by
the Yankees. II there Is any honesty and
independence 10 the Yankee Congress, 1t
will not allow the occasion to pass unim-
proved for the defence OF its constitutional
power and position in the State. 1t will not
allow itself to be ignored as Of no effect and
no consideration In the foreign relations OF
the nation. Indeed, aritsom honesty-as We
believe the body with few exceptions to be-
1t will not likely sit quietly and permit MI.
Seward to ignore it without word Of re-
buke. The party opposed to Lincoln for
the Presidency, has made the Monroe Doc
trine part of its platform, and it will be
ready to assail the Lincoln Administration
bitterly On that point, and in doing so ii will
not fail to notice the mention of the co-or-
dinate branch Of the Government by the
Executive Department. We may look for o
warm war OF words, at least, on the subject.
It is Instructive to observe the steady ad
vances Of the present Yankee Government
upon the popular rights. First, the rights
OF the States were overshadowed and denied
and those of the citizens were nnihilated.
Now, we have the reputation OF the
Legislative branch Of the National Govern
ment. 1t is represented by the Secretary OF
State to the French Emperor as body
whose opinions are Of no moment. and have
no weight with the Governments sort OF
lunatic asylum, whose inmates are given to
raving, but whose rawlings are norsensicai
and impotent, and not at all to be respected
or treated seriously. Should Lincoln be re-
elected, it ia more than Probable that he will
treat the Congress as though it were really
what Mr.. Seward represents it to be, and
take upon himself the entire Government.
Indeed, so far as the war upon the South is
concerned, he has already done this. lie has
neither respected law nor Constitution, nor
waited for the authority of Congress-. But
so long as his usurpations take this direc-
ton they are agreeable to the heartless and
vindictive people over whom he presides,
and will be readily submitted to.
NJ. Drouin de L. Hugs seems to understand
well the Yankees; for while explaining the
agreeable manner in which Mr. Seward has
continued to maintain the entente cordiale,
in defiance Of the Monroe doctrine and the
idle elamors Of the impotent Congress, he
endeavors to conciliate them by placing be-
fore them in his circular-which was in
tended for their eyes-the advantages they
are to derive from the restoration Of order
aud stability in Mexico. at opens for
them" he says, ga mew market, and one by
which they, more than any other, will profit,
on account of their proximity. The pros
perity of Mexico corresponds with their
truest interests" How far this adroit suy-
gestion may affect the public Yankee feeling
remains to be seen. The country trade and
some other advantages, il occurred to them.

guaranteed, in solido. We apprehend they
will have their sensation and row on the
question for party purposes, il for nothing
else.
The bargain between the Governments of
France and the United States is heartless,
as most Governmental bargains are But it
ia more: it is q bargain between two powers
whose interests are inimical, and who have
no respect for each other. Louis Napoleon
knows that the Lincoln Government only
makes terms with him now because it can
not help itself; that, but for the war it has
now on hand, 1t would resist his Interference
In Mexico, and that, as soon a. 1t is dieen-
gagged, 1t will seek the first opportunity to
fly It's contract. When that time comes,
sven Seward would be ready to put Con-
gress In the ascendant, and to make it the
scapegoat of rupture Of the present os-
tensibly amlcable alliance.
The Confederacy may feel the most per
feet indifference to this arrangement, know
Ing its character and assured that, from Its
nature, 1t must in time give place to the real
animosities and political and commercial
antipathies in the face Of which 1t has been
made. 1t c,nnot In any manner affect our
interests or our cause.
