Whnt Does fIe wantt

What does LOUIS NAPOLEON aim at in his
war against Prussia
His first purpose is to defeat and humili-
ate his antagonist. He wants to take Prus-
sia down. Since Sadowa she has become a
great power. He wants to make her little
power again. Another object Ia TO resterv tho
banished branch of the Bourbons TO the
throne Of Spain. Queen ISABELLA H. has
just abdicated in favor Of her son ALFONSO,
Prince Of the Asturias. LOUIS NAPOLEON
means to put the boy on his moth ers throne
He means also that he shall rule Cuba as
well as Spain, and that the United States
shall never have that island
When Prussia is beaten and Spain recon
quered France will stand at the head Of
Europe. Waterloo will be avenged, and the
glory of sadowa wiped out. The eagles of
France will shine as after Austeritz and
Jena. NAPOLEON III will be as great man
as his uncle, and NAPOLEON Nv. may safely
hope TO succeed his father.
For such objects bloodshed and devasta.
tion are al bout TO cover Europe.

The Cuban .Junta.

The Tribune yesterday, in q paragraph re.
ferring 20 some letters Of Cubons captured
by the Spanish forces, vebcmently attacks
the action or inaction of the Cuban Junta in
this city. The charges brought against the
gen tlcmen composing this body arc not
specific but include every grade Of inability
and incompetency. They are all grounded on
the contents of captured letter from one Don
CARLOS CASTILLO TO President CEsPEDEs
This man, once Director Of the Savings Bank
in Havana, came here to avoid Spanish per-
secution. He shortly after left for Nassau
for the benefit of his health, as he did not
dare to run the risk Of severe northern
winter. And yet when Gen. QUEsADA was
deposed by the Cuban Congress for trying to
make himself Dictator and dcfying the laws
Of the Republic, he came hithcr by way of
Nassau and brought Mr.. CASTILLO with him
some time in the early part of last March.
OF the parties composing the Cuban Junta
we know personally little but we do know
that they are the legitimately authorized
agents of the Cuban Government; that they
pay all their own expenses, and that the ma
jority Of them have given very largely out
of their impoverished resources to the cause
of the independence Of their country. We
are not aware that either Mr.. CARLOS Cas-
TrLLo or any one else of those who complain
Of the Junta has made any voluntary sacri-
fee in the same cause.
No cause requires 30 much real unanimity
among all its component parts, as that Of an
unnssisted country battling for freedom
against q powerful Government.
