CHARGES AGAINST THE oRLEANIsrs.
During conversation with these gentlemen YES.
terday Napoleon declared that he would never
return to Paris by the force of the military
power The people OF France approved his election
to the highest ofllce In the State four times by
peaceable VOTE. and the French people had alone
the right to restore him to it In the same manner.
The Emperor declared that he had knowledge
years since that the Due D'Aumale persuaded the

Illness.
NapoIeon's Fall and Its Consequences.
Mr.. II. II. ACKNOWLEDGMENT, British Under
secretary Tor The Home Department. addressed his
constituents at Deal on Friday evening, November
Is. The honorable gentleman said lie had never
stood before his constituents at crisis In English
history 30 great as the present one. Last year
profound peace regned over the whole OF Europe.
Close at nand we had upon the throne OF France a
po,ce1.fM ana FAITHFUL ally. The Emperor OF the
French, however, was now defeated captive, and
his dynasty seemel at present to be crushed for
ever. Whatever faults ne had as an individual, and
whatever faults he might have committed by any
desp0tic government, the Emperor had been at least
true to France anu 1t was not for the French people
or the English people to cast rcproval upon him. OF
course standing III the position he tMr. Knatchbu-
Hugessen) then stood IN as member Of the present
government 1t was difcult for him to speak out
spOkenly as q more independent member was war
raDted In doing, because what he might say might
be taken as having some responsibility attached to
II, although that was little as matter Of fact He
confessed honestly, although he knew great por
ton OF the liberal community OF England differed
from him In opinion, that there was, with regard
to France anu Prussia, six OF one and half dozen
or the other" Both nations had been regarding
each other for many years with jealous eye,
both mad been preparing alike FOR an onslaught;
and therefore he did not believe the fault could
be ascrlbcd to one nation more than another.
Inc result was inevitable, as y always would be In
at the mercy OF powerful and despotic monarchs.
But It might be depended upon as certain that the
tendency OF all such conflicts was to the democratic
or constitutional principle. The point England had
arrived at in this quarrel was this-were we pre-
pared to carry our nOn-interference such length
~ to become q second rate Power in importance
upon the Conlinent2 II seemed to him that, al
though there might be quarrel in which we ought
not to engage, yet the public opinion and the feel
Ing OF this country aimed at this--that England
should ut least nave moral weight and great
Europe, and that that government would not
be doing It's duty which, for the sake Of

Russia aud russia were freely asserted 70 have an

ernment II That government were not prepared to
uphold the honor OF England In TRANSACTIONS such
as this. When however, the day OF reckoning
sent government would not be backward In main
taning the honor OF the country. He had the best
reason for beev!ng-he might say he knew-that
tnc efficiency OF the military and naval services, Ia
view OF the present state Of affairs the Continent
was subject which was being very carefully con-
sidered by the government who were fully awake to
the eXigencles or the case. or course, there would
be various opinions as to the part that England
should play IN order to take her proper position.
HIS opinion was that she should endeav0r 10 speak
with moral weight In the councils OF Europe; but
we could not have proper moral weight unless we

ough members (Mr. Br0cklehurst and Mr. David
81 h seoMs es sae s eg AZ the ansa
cety and School OF Design. The latter two gentle
men referred mainly to educational matters. Mr..
Brooks, In speaking OF the Eastern difficulty, said
little cloud, no bigger than q mans hand, had
!oomed suddenly up and we were to-day face to
face with the issues Of war. We had gone through
ar
and, however much we might hate war; we must
recognize the fact that war existed. Tn.
possessions we must defend them, and
unless we were prepared to give up
attacked. The Emperor Napoleon had been de-
celved because relying on ambition blinded him,
and because, relying on some new invention in war
destructive enough In ITSELF he was resolved TO
carry war TO peaceful neighbor. Under the cir.
cumstances ne could not say that he was sorry at
the retrlbutioA which had overtaken the Emperor:
but he was sorry at the manner In which the
people OF France had treated HIM. Taking exam
pie from Napoleon, let the English people learn not
to be too confident. We were too apt to place con-
fdence In the navy, He admitted it was q great
arm OF the service; but It was not the only arm
needed for the safety OF England. he had no great
1atn In f0rtihcations or fixed guns; It had
been sneeringly said that Portsmouth itself was but
shell trap. What was necessary In the opinion OF
thoughtful, reflective men was competent movable
artillery, with which he thought might be able to
hold our own, and, with the continued development
or science ne did not think this need necessarily
voiye an increase OF taxation. lie thought also that
the development OF our militia would have 10 be
attended to, and that our volunteers would have to
be taken more under government prorecuon and
placed on more efficient footing Referring to the
negotiations for an armstice, he held that Prussia
could not be held to be placed beyond the pale OF
nations because she would not permit Paris TO he
rey.ctuaed but he was sorry thai the word OF Eng
land which Ut one time was listened TO with author
ity, had not been able to stop this dreadful war.
