Lord Palmerston knows me, and when I affirm a thing he will believe me. Well, you can tell him from me, inthe most explicit manner, that since the peace of Villafranca I have had but one thought, one object, to inaugurate a new era of peace, and to live on the best terms with all my neighoors, and especially with England. I had renounced Savoy and Nice; the extraordinary addition to Piedmont alone caused me to resume the desire to see reunited to France provinces essentially French. But it will be objected, ‘ You wish for peace, and You increase immoderately the military forces of France.” I deny the fact in every sense. My army and my fleet have in them nothing of a threatening character My steam navy is even far from Beiay adequate to our require- ments, and the number of steamers does not nearly equal that of sailing ships deemed necessary in the time of King Louis Philippe I have 400.000 men under arms; bat deduct from this amount (0,000 in Algeria, 6,000 at Rome, 8,000 in China, 20,000 gendarmes; the sick aud the new conscripts, you will see— what isthe truth—-that my regiments are of smaller effective strength than during the pre- ceding reign. The oniy addition to the army Hist has been made by the creation of the Im- perial Guard. Moreover, while wishing for peace, I desire also to organize the forces of the country on the best possible footing, for if foreigners have only seen the bright side of the last war, I myself, close at hand. have witnessed the defects, and I wish to remedy them. Having said thus much, [ 2, since Villafranca. neither done nor even thought anything which could alarm any one. When Lavalette started for Constantinople the in- structions which I gave him were confined to this :—*Use every effort to maintain the status quo; the interest of France is that Turkey should live as long as possible.’ “Now, then, occur the massacres in Syria, and it is esserted that I am very glad to find a new occasion of making a little war, or play- ing a new part. Really people give me credit r very little common sense. [f I instantly roposed an expedition it was because my feel- ings were those of the people which has put me at its head, and the intelligence from Syria transported me with indignation. My first thought, nevertheless, was to come to an un- derstanding with England. What other inter- est than that of humanity could induce me to send troops into that country’ Could it be that the possession of it would increase my strength’ Can L conceal from myself that Algeria, not- withstanding its future advantages, is a source of weekness to France, which for thirty years has devoted to it the purest of its blood and its gold? I said it in 1852 at Bordeaux, and my opinion is still the same—I have great con- uesis to make, but only in France. Her interior organization, her moral development, the increase of her resources have still immense progress to make There a field exists vast enough for my ambition and sufficient to sat- isfy it «+ It was difficult for me to come to an under- standing with England on the subject of Cen- tral Italy, because I was bound by the peace of Villafranca. As to Southern [taly, I am free from engagements, and I ask no better than a concert with England on this point, as on others; but in Heaven's name let the emi- nent men who are placed at the head of the English Government lay aside petty jealousies and unjast mistrusta.. Let us understand one another in good faith, like honest men as we are, and not like thieves who desire to cheat each other. “To sum up, this is my innermost thought I desire that Italy should obtain peace, no matter how, but without foreign intervention, and that my troops should be able toquit Rome without compromising the security of the Pope I could very much wish not to be obli to undertake the Syrian expedition, and, in any case, not to undertake it alone; first, because it will be # great expense; and, secondly, be- cause I fear this intervention may involve the Eastern question; but, on the other hand, I do not see how to resist public opinion in my country, which will never understand that we can lesye unpunished not only the massacre of Christians, but the burning of our Consulates, the insult to our flag, and the pillage of the monasteries which were under our protection. ‘-[have told you all, I think, without dis- guising or omitting anything. Make what use you may think advisable of my letter. ‘* Believe in my sincere friendship, ** NaPo.gon.”’ Movements of Pav Moxrny —The New York correspondent of Saturday’s Philadelphia Press says: ‘1 had a balf-bour’s chat last evenin, with Mr. Paul Morphy, and ute naturally al- luded to the reperts In circulation of bis proposed visit to and future residence in Paris.
