OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGIANp-TIIE MON
ROE DOCTRINE,
NEW YORK. November I6.-The London
/ Post of the lst says: The American Govern
ment first created their opponent belligcrents
I 10y proclaiming the blockade. and that Mr..
seward first made use of the term neutrals,
in official dispatches. II declares that the
American demand for compensation is not
near a well founded that Of Spain and
Portugal IN 1878. and closes by sayiag3 Mr..
johnson can scarcely deny the 0ppositeness of
precedent created by one of his own predeces-
sors, and we may, therefore, reasonably expect
that the course resolved upon by the Govern
mept at Washington will be one which. with
out compromising the National dignity and
honor, Will amount to the frank withdrawal
Of the demands which could not equitably be
sustained
The London Times, Of the 81, says: If Mr.
seward now wishes 10 say that the revival Of
the Great Republic, after It's gigantic struggle.
Will reflect such lustre and shed such renown
ON republican institutions that all other insti-
tutions ON our continent will be promptly re-
lal'sed and ultimately eXtinguiShed. his pro-
phecy need not be impugned. Nobody would
object 10 the ascendency Of the Monroe doctrine
on such principles a. these. III mOnarchial
government should become as obnoxious to the
McXicans n priestly government TO the RO-
mans. no one would wish to see il maintained
by foreign bayOnetS. IL is perfectly reasonable
/ that MaNamillan's Empire, when once. esta-
bllshed, should be left 10 stand alone. and
draw its support from recognition and the gra-
titude of the people. The proper work of the
French ceases with the establishment. The
withdraw Of the French troops therefore will
/ be a natural event. and after il has taken place
Americans will only see on their continent a
thriving monarchy, instead Of Il Republic in
ruins.
