CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRAKCK . The MonUeur of Sunday contained an a tide addressed to the Germans , in which it is said that to represent France as hostile to German nationality is not merely an error ; it is nonsense . The Government ) of the Emperor has always , for the space of ten years , employed the influence it had to smooth down rising difficulties , and rosolve them in an equitable and just point of view . In Spain it . has
constantly upheld the constitutional throne of the Queen by exercising a disinterested vigilance over the refugees whom successive revolutions had cast on our frontiers . In Switzerland its kindly mediation contributed to arrange the Is ' eufehatel affair , which might have led to complications with Prussia . In Italy evpn , its solicitude overcame all difficulties ; and , having reestablished the Pope in his authority , it lias inspired At
everywhere ideas of moderation alone . Naples , in concert with its ally , the Queen of EiiRlnnd , it has induced the Government of the Two Sicilies to inaugurate reforms that would have rendered iii stable . The policy of France cannot havo two weights and two measures ; she troats with equity the interests of all peoples . What she desires to Imvo respected in Italy she will know how to respect norself in Germany . . _ ...., ,. « , ... u : ^ that tho difficulties
