There is more likelihood than eve
that England will be drawn into taking
. part in the continental var. The Lon
don Times has lately published vha'
purports to be an authentic copy Of {
proposed treaty between France and
Prussis-proposed BY Napoleon. Thia
proposition is outlined - follows:
| The preamble sets forth that the King Of
Prussia and the Emperor of the French, in
order to strengthen the friendships, ETC., con-
clude the subjoined treaty. In the FIRST arti-
Gle Napoleon admits and recognizes the late
acquisitions Of Prussia from Austria. In the
second, the Prussian King engages to facili-
tate the French acquisition Of Luxembourg.
In the third. the Emperor acquiesces in the
union ofthe North and South German States,
Austria excepted. Fourth-France, finding
it necessary to absorb Belgium, Prussia lends
her assistance to that measure. Fith-ls
the usual article OF offensive and defensive
alliance between the two nations.
If this be, as is inferred, . scheme of
Napoleon's, submitted to the approval
Of Prussia prior TO the declaration of
war, he has been guilty Of . most eyre
grious blunder. He commits q project
to the confidential Consideration Of
Prussia and then, BY declaring war
sgainst that Government, gives Bismark
al excuse for besraying him to England
and the other powers. 1t 10 amszing
that 80 sagaeious a man as the Emperor
Of the French should so commit himself.
England 10 greatly agitated over this
discovery Of what pu:porss to be pro-
posal upon the part of France to act in
badfaith. England will not permit any
invasion of the Belgisa territory; add
should she be able to establish the fact
that France has thus sought to absorb
that Kingdom, it is BY NO means i'm
probable that the English land and ma
val forces may soon be found in cooper
alton With those of Prussia.
Under tho present exciting eircum-
stances the sympathies of the American
people are, NO doubt, with Prussia.
American citizens of German descent
are Numerous; and they distinguished
themselves a. . class, during the late
war, BY their fealty to the cause Of the
Union. France furnishes bot few emf.
grants to the United States and Franco
Americas are BY no means 90 largely
identified With the cause Of loyalty A.
the Germans. Moreover, France sought, |
while our difficulties were going on, 10
establish, in defiance of the Monroe doc.
triae, monarchy in Mexico and Paris
was . welcome place of refuge for con.
federate schemers. The Emperor leaned
strongly to the Rebel cause.

The sympathies of the loyal people Of
The United States are, naturally, strong

against France. England furnished the
