hie direction, even at the most critical moments,
leaves little to be desired in respect of ; forue.-e
Nor has there been a single blockade runnel
under the French flag ; nor a single pirate ship
, from a French port. But, in spite of -these
things, it is too apparent that the Emperor has
taken sides against us in at least four important
public acts, positively, plainly, offensively. --
The Duke de Gholseul, Prime Minister of
France, was familiarly addressed by Frederick
the Great as the "coachman of Europe, "
" a title
which Leeds Napoleon has earned. Bat he must
not try to be "the coachman of America."
Following the example of England, Louie
Napoleon has acknowledged the rebel slave
mongers as ocean belligerents, so that with the
sanction of France, our ancient ally, their pi
rate ships, although without a single open port
which they can call their own, enjoy a complete
immunity as lawful cruisers, while all who sym
pathize with them may furnish supplies and
munitions of war. This fatal concession was
aggravated by the concurrence ot the two greet
Powers. Bat, God be praised, their joint act,
though capable of giving a brief vitality to
slavery on pirate decks, will be impotent to
confirm this intolerable pretension.
(2.) Sinister events'are not alone in this; re
cognition of slavery was followed by an expedi
tion of jFrance, in concurrence with England
and Spain, against our neighbor republic Mexico.
The two latter Powers, with becumiug wisdom,
very soon withdrew; but the-Emperor did not
hesitate to enter upon an invasion. A French
fleet, with an unmatched iron-clad, the consum.
mate production of French naval art, is' now at
Vera Cruz, and the French army, after a pro
tracted siege, has stormed Puebla and entered
the famous capital.'This fer-reaching enter
wise wail originally said to pe a sort of proceitti,
served by a general., for the recovery of out
standing debts due to French cit zens. But the
Emperor, in a Mystic letter to Gen. Forey, gavi3
todt- another character. He proposed nothing
lees than the restoration of . - tbe Latin race on
this side of the Atlantic, and mere than inti:
mates that the United States must be restrained
in power and influence over the Gulf of Mexico
and the Antillea. And , now the Archduke
Y.eximilian of Austria has been proclaimed
Emperor of Maxicto, under the protection of
France. It is obvious that this imperial inve
stors,. thongh not openly directed against us,
,aenthlsett have been nilide; - it our convalsions
had not left the dtier .91., h. ll . continent
:elan lie,
that foreign Powers may now biaitirf 'enter. Di:
And it is more obvious that this attempt to,
plant a throne by our side wonld "have died
before it saw the light," had it not been Op:
posed that the rebel slavemongers were about
to triumph. Ptah:ay the whole transaction is
' connected with our straits, and I know not if it
may not be a stepping-stone to some actual
participation in' he - widening circle of the war.
Out it can be little more - than a transient? ex
periment—fin who can doubt that this Imperitil ;
exotic, planted by- foriegoscare and propped by
bayonets, will disappear before:the
,ascending
glory of the Republic ?
This enterprise of war was folloWed by an
enterprise. of diplomacy not loss hardy. The
Emperor, not content with stirring. agaltuit us
the Gulf of Mexico, the Antilles and the Latin
race, entered upon a_ york of a different char
actor. He invited England and Russia to unite
with France in tendering to the two belligeients
(inch is the equal designations of our Republic
and the embryo ' slave-motiger mockery!) their
joint meditation tte probarn "an armistice for
six months,' during which every - act 'of war,
direct or indirect, , should cease on
sea ae.Wejl a5.,49?4, to be renewed,if necessary,
for a further - peilo&" -`4llitlltibliretil-"of Eng•
land and Russia, better inspired, declined the
invitation, which looked.to little short of re
cognition itself..: Under the armistice proposed
all our vast operations "musthave 'beeni ens
peaded—the vast.
eltsielf Inuit have ceased.
--While the toted ports were open: oh Ike the? one

exports or cotten. Trade- fOr the time ' , stoat&
be legalized-biltiese pelts, ltd.: slavery.would
have Wm& its pinning - front before-the Civil:

the Emperor alone pushed forward his diplo
matic . enterprise against us, as he had alone
pushed forward his j' Military. Prlz 3 against
Mexico, and he premed: :to, our Geyer&
meat the unsupported motif/Olen of France.-e-'
His offer was promptly rejected by the President
Congress, by solemn resolution, adopted by, both 1
Hommel, with singular unanimity andcommuica- 1
red since to all foriegn Governmenta r ennoonced
that such a proposition could be attribtlie&
only " to a misnoderstanding of the true' stets
of the question and the real character of the
war in which. the Republic is engaged; and that
it was in its nature so far iojurious to the • na
tional interest that Congress would be obliged
to consider its , repetition an ttnfriend fact:"
INds is strong language; but it franklY v atOte B .
1 the true position. : of our county. Any each;
offer, whatever be, its motlvestaust be, an .ene
courageenent to the rebellion. In an agnwhen
ideas prevail, and even words become things,
the steeple declaration of
,statements are of
incalculable importance. Bat the, head of. a
great nation is more than statesman. The im e
pedal proposition tended directly to the dis
membernetenttof the Republic and the suhsttu-
Mon of. a siavemonger nation. , , ;.
Baffled in this effort, twice attempted, the
Empeter does not yet abandon his policyi , We
are told that-Alit is postpened to a more,suitble
opportunity;"an that be too waits to stfiket, if.
the Gallic cook does not sound the elaillP in 41I
°eremite quartor; Meanwhile the development
of the Mexicart. expedition shows too grimily
the motive of mediation. It was all oneitrans
action; Mexico was invaded .fiir empire; and
mediation was proposed in order to help the
plot. Bat the. invasion mast fail with the
diplomacy to: which it ie allied. _ The French
Emperor is against us. In an evil 'hour,,under
temptations which should tea sailed, he for

lilies: of ...e,
gather with the stars cf our infant flag;
he forgets that early alliance, seald by -Frank
lin, which gave to the Republic the assurance of
national life, and made France the partner of
her rising glory ; Here pietas, here prism fides—
mauasus date liter 4 plena; and he forgets still more
the obligations of his own'natne, how the first
Napoleon surrendered to us Louisiana and the
whole region west of the Mississippi, saying
"this accession of territory establishes forever
the power of the United States, and gives to
England a Maritime rival destined to bumble
her pride ;": and he forgets also how he himself,.
when , beginning his intervention for 'talkie
'liberty, boasted proudly that France :always'
stood for an "idea;" , and, forgetting these
things which mankind cienot forget,. he seeks
the :disjunction of this Republic, with the
spoliation of that very territory, which had
come to us. from the first Napoleon, while
France, always standing for an ."idea,'' is made;
under his anspictsa, to •stand for the "idea" of
welcome to a liffic evangel of slavery, with
Mascin and Slidell as evangelists. Thus is the
imperial influence thrown on the side of rebel
slave mongers. Unlike the ancient Gaul, the
Emperor forbears for the present to fling hie
sword into the seals ; bat he flings his heavy
hand, if not his sword. Trampler upon the
Republic in France—trampler upon the R9rib
lie in Mexico—it remains to be seen if the
French Emperor can prevail as a trampler upon
this Republic: Ido not think he can, nor am
I anxious on account of the new Emperor of
Mexico, who will ,be as powerless as Kiog Ca
nute against the rising tide of the American
people. His chair, must be withdrawn or lie
will be overwhelmed.
