Fraiicais considers a war as imminent, but offers some reflections on the subject, which do honor to the -writer, and which are the-niore important, as appearing in a journal which 'flaa been charged by the advocates of, the peace policy, with a desire to put ah end to the;lranquility whiclrhas so long cxisted.in.Europe, ail'd by which the United States have so', amply benefited.— It says— ■ , “VYe hope that on the. eve of a struggle which would cause a greateffusion of blood, and which presents no chance of compen sation for the calamities of war, the two Governments will give, way to reflection, and feel some remorse for the passions which have led to the present danger. France, indeed, has no reason to be afflicted at the prospect of a ivar between England and the United States, for such a war might bo fpr iis, so far as selfish policy is concerned, a source of joy and triumph; but ivc must-be above the paltry suggestions of private in terests.

But oti what .principle can a war'bo; tween the Kn^Hsll^and A mericans be bene-' ficial? The London journal announces the intention of stirring up the slaves of the Southern States,' to revolt; and on the Other hand, the citizens of New York .and Maine have probably the intention: of stirring up revolt amongst-the oppressed French colo nists in'Cuhada.; On Ibotli. sidcsi then, so-, cial -war. would be added to foreign war, and the contest'wtfuld be carried on at the same time by scaffolds and by cannon. What an example for the civilized world! If war should take place between these two nations, it would not be a war of principle, for there is no question of right involved, it will he a conflict prompted by 'ambition and fed by pride; that is to say, the'most odious spec tacle that could be offered by human nature. We will not inquire which of the two coun tries could do most harm to the other. —They are both powerful and both persevering and obstinate in their designs. England has an incontestable superiority at this moment, and her blows,would be strong ones. With 11 ships of the line, 14 frigates, and 39 smalleilyessels of war, the United States would find it difficult to contend against the most formidable navy of the universe; but they have sailors and a, warlike popula tion, and money Will not be wanting,for the building of'.ship's. “England has been unfortunate hitherto in her jvais with the United States, and. hcr government may desire to-take signal ven geance.for, the past.
