THE SITUATION . Public opinion , —and a public opinion of the right sort , meaning what it says , —is proving too strong for counter-influences . The Government , in the person of Lord Palmerston , is obliged to profess gratification at being backed by the people , — backed by the people which is pushing it on in a manner unknown to recent statesmanship . The Times , which has taken the lead in attacking Kossuth after a fashion that must have encouraged the hearts of Austrian stockjobbers and financiers , is compelled to come forth with a denunciation of the military coercion that Austria has introduced into its operations of the money market . It is not at all too soon to correct the erroneous
and dangerous impression which the attitude of our official people and the Leading Journal was calculated to create . We have already pointed out the effect of President Bonaparte ' s Message on the relations of England and America : — " Our relations with Spain , " says the President , 11 are satisfactory , and give us cause to hope for a speedy and definitive regulation of the dispute respecting the frontier of the Pyrenees .
" We have eagerly seized the opportunity to furnish Spain with a proof of the sincerity of our relations , by joining England in offering the Cabinet of Madrid the assistance of our naval forces to repulse the late audacious attack against Cuba . Besides , our Minister at Washington has been instructed amicably to support the reclamations of the Court of Madrid , and the justice of these reclamations has been most loyally recognized by the Federal Government . "
We learn on authority , which we know to be worthy of perfect trust , that , probably for his own purposes , Louis Napoleon has exaggerated the effect of Lord Palmerston ' s communication . It is possible that Lord Palmerston may have written an indiscreet letter ; we are not in a position to deny that he has done so ; but we are inclined to believe that he did not take up a position so irretrievable as the Prince President , for his own purposes no doubt , would have his Austrian and Russian patrons believe . We are glad to retain this conviction ;
because our apprehension that the President ' s Message would provoke a feeling of indignation and rage in the United States is confirmed by those whose judgment must he received as the highest possible authority . The impulsive Republicans will be all ablaze against " France" and " England . " Luckily , however , the Message will be accompanied across the Atlantic , or speedily followed , l ) y an explanation of the purpose which is understood to have actuated the French prote ' ge of llussia .
We have previously explained that the French President was expected to make this demonstration against the United States on Cuban ground , an a means of driving England into hostility with the American Republic . Independently of questions concerning" the sovereign possession of Cuba , the mere fact of placing : i fleet oil" the whores of that island would be regarded by the United States , whatever its real purpo . se might be , as a proceeding directed against the commerce of the Mississippi . Whatever might , be the opinion in Washington a . s to the propriety of retaining Cuba to Spain , or otherwise , but one opinion
would animate tin ; people of the United . States as to the utter 'impossibility of suffering an Kuropeun fleet to maintain that position . Whatever might , be the political relations of the powers sending out that ; fleet , the People of the Union would move , as one man , to drive it oil " . The Americans of all parties at present , we are convinced , would be very much chagrined at acting against England . Against oilicial " France " they have no objection to act ; indeed , they would be tempted by the belief , that the destruction of the French fleet would be a Jioliday pastime to the powerful nuvy of the Young Republic . " France , "
therefore , is to be victimized , in order tiTTT United States maybe drawn out against the W the of the real People of France an d the Cfo * J Europe-in order that « England" may £ Xe ? against the interest of its own People , inantaJw ' to the United States-in order Vat SS ^ S Prussia may pursue their machinations undiverh !? by the power of the French people , of the ErSh nation , or the American Republic ; that is the hVr faced scheme ! dre "
We have no fear , however , that the people of America , or of England , will be baffled in their desires for acting together in the great movement of Peoples against official intrigues and despots The bankrupt scheme of despotism at Vienna has become so gross a swindle , that the organ for od posing Kossuth has been obliged to join as heartily as we have done in exposing the rottenness the dis honesty and the desperate footpad audacity of
Austrian Finance . The English Foreign Minister is obliged to confess that the English people is arraying itself with a new interest , a new force , a new and imperious determination against despotic machinations . The manner in which the English People has received the suggestion , that the American Republic should take its position in the defence of European liberty , side by side with the English nation , that their banners should be hoisted
together , and their sons fight shoulder to shoulder , cannot be misunderstood by our brethren across the Atlantic j they will not suffer the intrigues of miserable diplomatists and money-jobbers to divert them from so glorious an enterprise , and they cannot fail to share the pride which Englishmen felt when the Honourable Robert John Walker proclaimed the desire of his countrymen . It is now more than five years since that gentleman , then Secretary of the Treasury , was invited to attend the Independence Dinner at Philadelphia on the 4 th of July , and that , being unable to attend , he sent the following toast : — " The world—it will
be United States , with one commerce , one language , one confederacy . " At that time the people of America were scarcely more prepared for so vast and exalted an idea than the people of our own country five months ago . But events have proceeded with a gigantic rapidity which has baffled the calculations of the most sanguine . Being assailed for his far forward aspiration , Mr . Walker vindicated it , by showing how much the abolition of Custom-houses would save in expenditure , in
interruptions of trade , and international estrangements . Kossuth has explained to the English people , how much free trade depends upon " the solidarity of the Peoples "—upon that true alliance of the Peoples which consists in the common maintenance of a common liberty . For the glorious sentiment enunciated by Robert John Walker in 1846 the American People is now prepared ; and if any doubts have lurked in the breasts of her keen-sighted sons , they must be dispelled by the prospect of that vast international alliance
which is now opened by the lucid and eloquent explanations conveyed to them with the presence , the voice , the outspoken intellect of Kossuth . He has pledged himself to carry to the United States that message of union among the Peoples whicli he has so potently enunciated in this country . l « at he has the power to fulfil his pledge we all know-There can be no doubt that , with the generous ami bold intellects of America , the congenial power ot a Kossuththe congenial generosity of a Walker , wi
, exercise a far greater sway than the paltry intrigue and pitiful manoeuvres of Russia and Austria , acimg through their wretched tool , the pageant President «« Paris . Many months will not elapse beloie in French people will have it in their pow ^ to show that , the nominee of Atusill \/ Austria is no real representative of France . WM weeks , many ( lays wo believe , cannot elapse be Lord Palmer-aton shall have taken effectual T ' mark his severance from the miserable « oiih 1 >» "J
that now , through some indiscreet une ot ^ M I j claims him for an accomplice . The 1 cop - Italy , Hungary , England , and the United Ww ' are determined to be allied ; the disposition t J |» - in that noble and magnificent alliance cannot exist in the Peoples of France , (* c nnuii ) , Bohemia , to say nothing of other nations W sympathy is well known . Wo need not . specifically to other countries besides fcjM" . ^ Portugal . This disposition in too Kitf '" " , fll ( .
