th. mse'Y~e for their folly in persisting to ig-

thnn one year England would @ 1ose Ganaoe
end all her posse sssons in the MesE Anaie:'
In less than two her tieets, mercantile anu mllt-
itary, would be driven from th3 ocean. Not
a ship-of war would be allowed to sp:ead
sail. or to get up steam, save oy Permlssloh
Of the United States, and that permission sho
would nerer give. American cruisers would
hang around the coast Of Great britain anA
would land thousands and tens Of thoasands
Of exiles, burning with hatred, IN Ireland, aud
that dependency would be lost forever: Great
Britain hopes to compensate herself Tor the
loss Of American cotton by introducing that
Of India. She would find that branch OF her
trade, and With it her dominion over tnala
ITSELF, utterly destroyed, before tue M next ten
years shall have passed over. When these
things shall hare CONC to pass-as They ln-
eyftably would-a new generation Wlll have
arisen who had not the felicity Of showing
Joscph-that is to say, Lord john Rassell,
and they will curse the hour that gave him
to Britain. Manufactures. commerce. and
her colonial empire all destroyed, Great
Britain would shrink to her proper dimension,

Under such IN Inconceivnbly sEnalt politt-

Britain should have acted as she has done:
That functtonarT cannot sec an men beyond
the French, whose horizon is supposed to be
wid-r, Is altogether unaccountable. He has
placed France in such position that II the
United States should succeed In conquerlng
the confederacy, she can never hold colony

colony she will be disposed in less than one
year. Her fleet will first be destroyed; and
those great armies that arc now fighting each
other will be united under one flag aud let

tirely with tile United States whether France
shall retain even Algeria, OF be behersclfcxempt
from the horrors Of invasion. Napoleon will
find that he Inns tincssed too deeply and lost
The game that might easily hnYt been Won by
straightforward playing.
Are these things dreams? Look at what
has been going on herr for four yeas past,
and then say what they are. Here is power
thnt within that time has increased from thfr-
ty ships to six hundred has increased
her marine from q feW Thousand sailors
to fifty thousand. Here nrc two Powers en-
gagged in deadly struggle, each Of Which has
sent forth armies sufficient to have over
whelmcd Great Britain and France. These
two armies, the most tried and the best a. yht-
ing In all the earth, will be combined. Re-
cruits cnougl will be added to make q mil
lion of men. They hrte each other bnt they
hate England even more. at signal-thc
very slightcst-this who'd force will be let
loose upon her. The United States hare long
looked upon Mexico as their own. The Con-
lsdeEate States, as Part Of the old Union, par,
Of the conqueripg country can easily rekindle
this flame, and bring under It's banner a(l the
discharged soldiers of the .Contedcracy to
opcratc against Mexico, and It will do 1t. -
Such would bc the inevitable consequence
of the conquest Of tho Confedcrncy by the
Yankees In one year the Yankee flag would
float over the whole continent and the isles
thereof, except, perhaps, over the Russian
possessions, and the glory and prosperity Of
England aud France would be gone forever.
In forty yrars the population of the United
States would be one hundred million. It
wonld be the strongest nation the world ever
beheld. Its influence over the whole world
would be unparalleled, owing to the weakness
and timidity Of France and England.
