was simply an advance made upon the

II.
When we examine the map of Mexico
the fortunate and peculiar geographical
situation of this privileged country at once
attracts our attention. Uathed by either
ocean, it lies at an equal distance letwecn
Asia and Europe. It has tree communi
cation with the richest and most commer
cial people of the old continent, and were
the public mind reassured and the move
ments of industry directed by a serious
welUcstablished government, Mexico
might rival the most commercial nation of
the new world. The general temperature
in Mexico is hardly more than two or
three degrees higher than the average tem
perature of Home or Naples, while
the physical conformation of. the country
is at least as favorable as its mari
time position. With the exception of
a narrow coast line on some parts of its
frontier, especially about Vera Cruz, the
climate in wholesome, agreeable, mild,
and tinders who, having long inhabited
these shores, return to Europe, always
look back upon them with regret. Mexi

dure the enormous taxation ' imposed by
autocratic and . ephemeral governments j
driven to procure money at any cost, be
long to English companies; ind the num
ber of them are relatively small. We
may be certain that the development of
the mineral wealth of Mexico is still in
its infancy. The natives have never suc
ceeded in it. But what the English
never could we who have shown ourselves
their equals at every international exhibi
tion in the industrial arts may teach the
natives of Mexico to do. When one
runs over the catalogue of the riches of
Mexico. Its wealth in grain and gold
those two vital forces of nations one is
tempted to ask how it is that its inhabi-
tants make no more of their advantages?
Why is it that notwithstanding Euroiienn
.... . I
;nd the movement of industry in that
country has never been orderly anl regu-
lar ? It is hardly possible that anarchy J
should have taken root in the necels and !
aspirations of a population too sparse for !
the country it inhabits. In Mexico dis
order has never arisen from the lower
ranks of society, but from the upper anel
governmental regions. The people are not
the agitators, and brigandage itself has
been most commonly undertaken by per
sons of property, generals, even by the
aids-dc-cainp of presidents. The Indians,
not naturally inelusti ious, live on the plan
tations or factories of Europeans, whilst
the mixed race seeks iu tvranny, exac
tions and robbery the facile existence
which it does not care to ask from labor.
In short, although there is an actual want
of population in Mexico, there is more
idleness! there than industry ; and this un-.
lbrtunate state of things, this destruction
of agriculture and industry by the depre
dations of indolence will continue to ex-i.-.t
till European Emigration shall modify
the relations of the three races which
barely people thecse immense regions.
Mexico waits for calls demands em
igration ; not the unhealthy, foolish emi
gration which tramqiorts trom one latitude
to another creatures without industry or
intelligence, but the emigration of the
capital and intelligence which finds no
reom in our society. Such an emigration
it is which has given to tho United States
inilu.-try, wealth and courage, and let us
i.lil -it tin C'liin- tin siM'iireil the
ouiet of Eimland. Whoever has lived j
long enough in England must have been
.-truck witii the flagrant and perpetual
contradiction between the private genfus
of the Englishman always disposed to
commercial, maritime, and industrial ad
venture, and the public genius of the
Engiiah which is radically hostile to all
revolutionary ideas. Tho reason of this
is not to be looked for m the perfection
of English institutions, for if we admit
the superiority of their representative
system, we must allow that their customs
and social law, particularly in respect to
property, are very far from leing perfect.
We in France, on the contrary, have
always been fond of political adventure.
" Suliicicnt unto the day " was a predom
inant iolitical maxim with our fathers,
and the actual generation in '48 made
large sacrifices to this maxim. But we
are not easily seduced by private . enter
prises. The same thing which pleases us
in polities displeases us in business, and
our individual temperament ; nevertheless,
for some years past we have been gaining
in industrial darincr. The calm and the
solidity of the institutions which France j
has recently toundeu rejn'ls beyond our
frontiers those undiciplined and Ardent
dreamers, who make the very emigrants
of whom we have been speaking. Let
the certainty of protection lead this pop-
ulation to Mexico and the age of its re-
.renera'ion will not be long in coming to
that country, thenceforth filled with new
inhabitants, reaely for all progress familiar
th newest d scoveries of modern in-
dustry and supported by the intelligent
liberalism of the dag of France. It is
beginning to be seen that our national in
terest much more than the desire of add
ing a new name to the long list of our
military victories has led France into
Mnvlfn. Lot us not le troubled then

sion and profusion of interests and of
labor, the desire and need of firmness in
the political system will be fortified. In
the great movement of our century in
dustrial and financial interests control and
conduct society. Questions of politics

of human equality. no longer assumes to j
reduce the great to the condition of the

of the great. The problems of general
prosperity, of the increase of wages, of
cheap production, of public, hygiene, ca?i
be much .more easily solved under a pow
erful sovernnient. The empire has disci
plined socialism and pjit it to use The
empire has conquered and decapitated an
archy. This it is that the empire is to
do in Mexico, and this it cannot do se
curely and properly until the Confederate
States have been recognised.

If war hael not broken out between the
Northern and Southren States of America,
Euroe would not been impressed with
tiie dangers which threaten her from the
Union.
Although she had become tributary to
the new world Europe had taken no pre
caution to prevent the consummation of a
crisis which she had never forseen, . and
which for two jcars she has been endur
ing. It has cost us something to learn
how uncertain is the fortune of n indus
try compelled to seek its raw materials in
a single market, to all the exactions and
all the vicissitudes of which it must ne
cessarily submit.
In this respect the secession of the Con
federate States is an event particularly
favorable to Fiance for England has
now no interest iu the cessation of hos
tilities and the consequent Constitution of

eral Union and the Spanish American

England trembles for Canada, to which
the North, alter the war, may look for the
compensation of its losses. The commerce
of England profits by the misfortunes of!
American commerce she looks with sat- ;
istaction alike ot the South and the orth.
She supplies both parties with arms, and
while the Southern export of cotton is sus-
pended she is increasing; the cotton culture

the initiative in recognizing the Confetle
rate States, ami the way in which our
propositions of pacific intervention were
twice received by her, ought to dispel all
doubts on this head.
France, on the other hand, cannot hope
to find the cotton which her factories need
elsewhere than in the South. Every at
tempt at the culture has failed, and it is
unfortunately probable that every such at
tempt will continue to fail. The cotton
culture, like the grajnj culture, is a ques
tion of soils. A vine from Bordeaux or
the Rhine transplanted under the same
latitudes and climates will yield neither

notions of philanthropy and our moral

and intelligent men are no lunger to be

Lincoln's alolition cry finds no echo.
If there be skeptics on this point, let us
remind them of the Lynch law which pre
vails in the North ; of the way in which
the Indians are still hunted down ; of the

Governor of Minnesota, offering a reward

France will use her influence to secure the

The North, made keen eyed by selfish

famous Monroe doctrine is nothing more
nor less than a policy of insurance against
civilization. What has become of- those

patriotism of the Americans boa.-ted of a
