I France and the Con
federacy.
Recognition of the Richmond
Government the Necessary
Consequence of the Mex
ican Expedition.
j M. CHEVALIER'S PAMPHLET.
[translated for the world.]
In j.- ran co from the earliest times, did
taut expeditions when they began have al
ways provoked bitter criticism on the part
of the Opposition, and have- always met
with but little sympathy among the sup
porters of order. We are inclined to at
tribute to this fact the relative inferiority
of our country as a commercial and colon
ictl power, while it occupies the second and I
almost the first rank as a naval power.?
The Frenchman is infinitely better fitted
for action than for traffic, and in war he
commonly considers oBly its military glory,
sometimes its political results; never its
business side. In this respect we are at
once superior and inferior to our allies, the
English ? superior bj all the greatness of
ourgenerosity and our di3int8restedness;in
ierior by all the depth of their calculations
and their mercantile genius. Thus it was
when alter the rupture of tho treaty of La
Soledad, England and Spain, which had in
tervened iu Mexico under the same pretext
as France, retired from the intervention,
leaving to France tho cost and the conse
quences of an expedition which had been
commenced in common, there was but one
voice in our country to deplore the situa
tion in which we had been left by our allies
No one suspected, and no one then chose
to suspect, the fruitful results of our inter
vention in the affairs of Mexico. It was
then fashionable to calculate the sums
which it would cost to transport a soldier
from Cherbourg to Vera Cruz. and it was
attempted to show that our only object
was to impose upon the Mexicans a form of
government more or less hostile to their
taste and to their convictions. President
Juarez; notwithstanding his, numerous re
fusals of justice, his open contempt of
pledged faith, and the divisions excited by
his deplorable adminir.rration, still, in the
eyes of European demagogues, remained
the sacred, representative 01 the national
trill of Mexico, the paragon of liberal id-'a*. |
("c was respeatod ad nauseam that tho Em
peror yielding to a natural lovo of adven- i
Lure had allowed himself to bo subduced
t >y fallacious stories of the wealth of the
ancient empire of tho Montezumas; that
having thrown himself headlong into an
expedition which could have no end. he
persevered in it through obstinacy, and that
our soldiers were inarching to a most use
less, dangerous, aud ruinous conquest. ?
Unfortunately.the failure of the first attack
on Puebla offered the enemies of the expe
dition a uatural opportunity for redoub
ling their clamors. The echoes ot tho
Palais Bourbon ( the Corps Legislatif) rang
with calumnies which up to tint time had
been confined to the purlieu- of foreign
newspaper olfices, and nothing less than
tho authoritative eloquence of Mr. Billault
was requirad to clear up tho question and
dispel the cioud which masked tho future
of our intervention. The fruitless, or even
the unfortunate result ot tho warlike opera
tion proves nothing against the origin and
object of a war. The origin oftb.- actual
war in Mexico is more than justified i?v the
wrongs which Franco is bent upon redres
iing. Tho object of that war is to aid the
Mexicans in establishing, according to their
)wn free will and choice, a government
ivhich may have some chance of stability
The faiiuro of the first attack on Puebla
iicjply proved that wo had been ill-inform
>d as to the military resources which in
timidation had enabled Juarez to command,
[t neither diminished tho gravity of our
interests nor lessened the itnpo< tance of our
object. It inflictod no damage even upon J
our military reputation. It was then de- <
cided that a complete army corps, armed i
with formidable artillery and adequate1
means of transportation, should be em
barked for Mexico as soon as the season
would allow. The money expenditure re
quired by this considerable movement of
troops and warlike material was simply an
advance made upon the enterprise. Where
so many people insisted upon seeing noth
ing but a little glory to win, Napoleon III.
had already laid the foundations of a com
pletely new system of policy. While for
everybody else the Mexican war was a mere
military question, he was limiting and de
termining the part to be played by our sol
diera, our seamen aud our diplomats in this
enterprise which is to give to France the i
commercial rank she has a right to hold.
<4In the actual state of the civilization of
the world the prosperity of America is not
a matter of indifference to Europe, for this
prosperity feeds our factories and keeps our
commerce alive. It is our interest that the
republic ol the Unitid States should be
powerful and prospetous, but it is not our
interest that it should possess itself of the
whole Mexican Gulf, tbat it should thence
domineer over the Antilles as well as South
: America, and that it alone should control
the distribution of the products of the New
j World.'' This passage, from the instruc-1
. tons given by the Emperor to G*n. Forey
I victoriously answers those who now ask'
why we have been expending tnen and
money to found a regular government in
Mexico. France must oppose the absorp.
tion of Southern America b* Northern
America; she must in like manner oppose
the degrea?i< ? of the Latin race on the
other side et the ocean; she must establish
the integrity and security of our West In
dian colonies. It is the interests which
compel France to sympathise with the Con
federate States which have led our banner*
up to the walls of Mexico.
The recognition of the Southern States
will be the consequence of our intervention,
.r.*^er. 0Ur 'nt*rvention has prepared,
facilitated, and mad* poaeible a diplomatic
act which wiJl consecrate the final separa- 1
tion and secession of those States from the
American Union. The thirty thousand
Frenchmen who to-day occupy Mexico, or
are pursuing Juarez to San Luis Potosi,
are the advanced guard of an immense
commercial army, and their bayonets will
open to our commerce harbors which have
been too long closed upen it. Let us then
hear 110 more of these mendacious outerieR
over the emptiness of our projects in Mex
ico. What Napoleon III. means he means
distinctly, he has long meant it, ho will
continue to mean and to will it until it is
achieved. Ho means to regenerate our
trans Atlantic commerce, to restore to it
or to create for it profitable avenues and
outlets; he means that our national indus
try in all t:mo to come shall be able to pro
vide itself with the materials indispensable
to its success. This is his meaning. and he
I will pursue this purpose until he has ac
complished it. Now UptJ&e solution is so
near at hand, there would be no {articular
merit in predicting it if the easy prophecy
were nut accompanied with -x complete ex
position ??f the advantages which Franco is
to draw from it* fulfilment.
II.
When we examine iLe map of Mexico
the fortunate and peculiar geographical sit
uation of this privileged country at once?
attracts our Attention. Bathed by etthei
ocean, it lies at an equal distance between
Asia and Europe. It has free communica
tion with the richest and moit commercial
people of the old continent, and were the
public mind reassured and the movements
of industry directed by a serious, well-es
tablished government, jlexico might rival
the most commercial nation of the new
world. Tho general temperature in Mex
ico is hardiy more than two or three de
crees higher than the average temperature
of Rome or Naples, while the physical con
formation of tha country is at least as fa
vorable as its maritimt position. T.Vith the
exception of a narrow coast line on some
parts of its frontier, especially about V era
Cruz, the climate is wholesome, agreeable,
mild, aud traders who, having long inhabit
these distant shores, return to Lurope, look
back upon thorn with regret. Mexico,
which might furnish tue whole world with
precious woods and splendid dyes, could
nourish France and Spain with her cereals
in a year of famine. It is the only tropical
couutry whose soil abundantly yields t^e
finest grains. The generous loins of its
mountains, rising eight or nine thousand
feet above the level of the sea, are filled
with almost inexhaustible mines, which
have never y;t been adequately worked.?
The only ones nowreilly opened, and which
me able to endure the enormous taxation
imposed by autocratic and ephemeral gov
eruments driven to procure money at any
cost, belong to English companies; and the
numbar of them is relatively small. We
may be certain that the development of tha
mineral wealth of Mexico is still in its in
fancv. The natives have never succeeded
in it*. But what the English never could
we who have shown ourselves their equals
at every international exhibition in the in
dustriai arts may teach the natives o' .-lex
ico to do. Whenono runs over the cata
logue of tho 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 inhabitants make no more ot their
advantages? \V hy is itthat notwithstand
ing European aid, the movement ot industry
in that country has never beeu orderly and
regular? It is hardly possible that auarchy
should have taken "root in the needs and
aspirations of a population too sparse for
tho country it inhabits.
In Mexico disorder ha* never arisen from
tht: lower ranks of society, but from the up
per and governmental regions. The peo
pie are not tho agitators, and brigandage
itself has been most commonly undertaken
bv persons of property, generals, even by j
the aids de caiup of presidents. The Indi ;
ans, not naturally industrious, live on the
plantationsor factories of Europeans, whilst
the mixed race Kecks in tyranny, exactions
and robbery the facile existence which it
does not care to ask from labor. In short,
although there is an actual want of popu
lation m Mexico, there is more idleness
there than industry; and this unfortunate
state of things, this destruction ol agricul
ture and industry by the deprdations of
indolence will continue till European emi
gration shall modify the relations of the
three races which barely people these im
mense regions Mexico waits for? calls?
demands emigration; not tho unhealthy,
foolish emigration which transport* from
one latitude to another creatures without
industry or intelligence, but the emigration
of the capital and intelligence which finds
uo room in our society. Such an emigra
tion it is which has given to the United i
States, industry, wealth aud courage, and
let us add has, at tho same time, secured I
the quiet of England. Whoever has lived ,
long in England must have been struck j
with the tlagrant and perpetual contradic
tion between the private icniui of the En- i
gltshmau always disposed to commercial, 1
maritime, and industrial adventure, and the I
public genius of the English which is radi- j
cally hoatile to all revolutionarv ideas.
The reason of this is uot to be looked for
in the perfection of English institutions, for
if we admit the superiority of their repre- j
sentative system, we mutt also allow that i
their customs and social laws, particularly i
in respect to property, are very far from be
ing perfect. We in France, on the contrary
hare always been fond of political adven
ture. "Sufficient unto the day'' was a pre
i dominan political maxim with our fathers,
' and the actual generation in '48 made large
1 sacrifices to this maxim. But we are not
; easily seduced by private enterprises. The
same tiling which pleases ns in politics dis
pleases us in business, and our individual
temperament has not always been so high as
our national temperament; nevertheless, for
some years past we ha**e been gaining in in
dustrial danng. The calm and the solidity
of the institutions which France has re
cently founded repels beyond our frontiers
those undisciplined and ardent dreamers,
who make the very emigrants of whom we
have been speaking. Let the certainty of
protection lead this population to Mexico
and the age of its regeneraeion will not bfl
long coming to that country, thenceforth
filled with new inhabitants, ready for all
progress familiar with the newest discover
ies of modern industry and supported bv
the intelligent liberalism of the flag m
France. Tt is beginning to be seen that
our national interest much more than the
desire of adding a new name to the long
list of our military victories has led France
into Mexico. Let us not be troubled then
with regard to thefutnreof this expedition.
Whether' Maximilan accept or refuse the
throne of Mexico; whether any otber prince
accept that throne or not; or whether be
neath the wing of our eagles some nameless
government be established there, the influ
ence of France will remain in Maxico.
The, French soldier takes hi3 country
with him, Oar army, made up of work
men and leborers jvho all look forward to
their return to the workshop or the plow, i.*
an army of creators, and not of destroyers.
It takes into Mexico ail that Mexico needs:
first cohesion: because it is the most com
plete aud sincere expression of modern de
mocracy; secood, order; because it permit*
all citizens of this unfortunate nation to
develop their own interests; third' industry;
because it furnishes to languishing enter
prise, workmen foremen. artwaas, managers,
because it familiarizes the Mexican people
with the wonders of France and of French
industry; fourth an army; by its example
and its instruction,
Taus, then, and naturally, by a diffusion
and profusion of interests and of labor, the
desire and need of firtv. less in ttao political
system will be funded. In the great
movement of o\m century industrial aa<
financial inter, sts control and conduct so
ciety. Questions of politics disappear be
fore social questions. Twenty years ago
the opposition was republican? to day it
is social. And the theory of human equal- 1
ity no longer assumes to reduce the great
to the condition of the lowly but to raise
the lowly to tho level of the great. The
probl? :?s of general prosperity of the in
crease of wages, of cheap production, ol
public hygiene, can be much more easily
solved under a powerful government. I be
empire has disciplined socialism and put it
to use. The empire has couquered and
decapitated anarchy. This it is tbat the
empire is to do in Mexico, and this it cannot
do securely and properly until the confeder
ate states have been recognized.
m.
It war had not broken out between the
Northern and Southern States of America
Europe would not yet have been impressed
with the dangers which threaten her from
the power of the Union.
Although she bad become tributary to
the new world Europe had taken no precau
tion to prevent the consumation of a crisis
which she had never foreseen, and which for
two years she has been enduring. It. has
cost us something to learn how uncertain is
the fortune of an industry compelled to
seek its raw materials in a single market, to
?U the exactions and all the vicissitudes of
which it must neccessarily submit.
In this respect the secession of the ('on
federate States is an e *ent particularly fa
vorable to France ? for England has now no
interest in tho cessation of hostilities and
the consequent constitution of au intermedi
ary power between the federal I nion and
the Spanish American States
England trembles for Canada, to whic h
the North, after the war, may look for the
compensation of its losses. The commerce
of England profits by the misfortunes of
American commerce ? sbo looks with satis
faction 011 tho exhaustion alike of the
South and of the North. Sbe supplies
both parties with arm.-*, and while the
southern exp >rt of cotton i* suspended she
is increasing the cotton culture ol India
England, then, will never take the initia
tive in recognizing the Confederate States,
and the way in which our propositions of
paciGc intervention wore twice received by
her, ought to dispel all doubts on this head.
France, on the other band, 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 grape culture, is aquestion
of soils. A vine from Bordeaux or the
Rhine transplanted under the same lati
tudes and climates will yield neither a Cha
teau Margaux nor a Johannisberg. The
wine changes with the soil; and so it is
with cotton? its quality degenerates with
the soil. Furthermore, the question is not
t<> produce some sort of cotton, good, bad,
or ordinary, but to produce it at fair prices.
Now, as well in respect to cheapness as to
quality, the cotton of the South surpasses
all others. The federals are so well aware
of this, tbat the war which they are waging j
is really aud mainly a war of interest!
The producing, agricultural South wa* the j
commercial vassal of the North, which in- 1
sists upon keeping its best customer, eman
cipation is merely a skillful device for en
trapping tfae sympathies of European lib
eralism. If the North were victorious it
would never probe the slavory question to
the core Once masters of the negro race, j
northern men would be slow to compromise
the cotton culture, for the sake of which
tbey are so savagely maintaining an unjust
war: they would then hasten to admit tbat
it is impossible to change the vital econom
ical condition of au immense region by a
battle or a stroke of the pen. The north
ern idea of the abolition of slavery by ma
king the negro food for powder or bv ex
iling him from his home to die of hunger is
now thoroughly understood inEnropc. Our
' notions of philanthropy and our moral sense
: alike revolt from these ferocious exaggera
tions of the love of liberty. Honest and in
telligent men are no longer to be duped by
these coarse devices, and Mr. Lincoln s ab
I olition cry finds do echo.
If there be skeptics on this point, let us
remind them of the Lynch ltw which pre
vails in the North; of the w ay in which the
Indians are still hunted down: of the de
1 cree published bnt the other day by the
Governor of Minneeota, offering a reward
of twenty-fire dollars for every Indian sealp.
These are disagreeable things to happen
I among a people who profess to be lighting
' for the abolition of ala?ery; and were that
Cwer to triumph the poor negroee would
d their way to liberty a path of thorns.
>l The first European power which shall re
cognize the Confederate States shall Lave a
right to obtain much more for the negro
than the federals could secure for him
through their "Union by victory." This
first power being Franca, we may be sure
that the cause of civilization, humanity,
and progress will not be forgotten by her.
All that is difficult, eveu impossible, while
the conflict rages, will become easy with
the return of peace. The emancipation of
the blacks, the complete abolition of sla
very can only be the work of peace and of
time, and an alliance with the South will
effect that great social revolution which
Eugland, with her ''ri^ht of search/' has so1
vainly sought to bring about.
Moreover, slavery cannot possihly be
made a serious argument against the recog- !
nition of the South- France and England
live on good terms with Spain and Brazil; |
they even protect Egypt and Tnrkey, and
these countries maintain slavery with no
show of a disposition to abolish it. France j
will u*e her influence to secure the gradu
al emancipation of the slaves witbonl Miak-j
ing slavery a ground for refusing reeogni
Hon.
They hive all been sacrificed to the
Union! ''Perish liberty, rather than that
we should lose the provinces that support !
us! Let us mortgage the influences of the
future, but let us not givo up the states
which fill the coflfsrs of the treasury!?
What though they long to leave us: we, we
the men of the North will never consent to
it!" And so. were the Union reconstruct
to day, its debt would almost equal the
debt of England: th.* frce(oil has been dis
graced by daily and audacious attach* upon
personal liberty: the titlo of American citi
zen offers no protection, and imposes no
sacred duties upon him who wears it,
The 'model republic" exists only as a
memory, and those who love it are left to
cherish tho image of a greatnes* and atrrace
forever gone.
Tho prido of the North will never stoop
to admit the sup'-rioritv of iouthern men:
and yet it is from these that the Union drew
its be*t statesmen and tho majority of its
presidents. The pride of the Xorth will
be mi onlj' to necessity, because it has not
kept pace with the progress of the age. ?
To-day the Americans of tho North are
as completlv foreign to tho family of na
tions as they were twenty years ago. ?
They understand nothing but the narrow
est and most mechanical mercantilism, the
art of purchase and sde; and they long to
annihilate the Confederate States in order
that tho South, by its intelligence, its en
terprise, and the talent of its statesmen
may not throw down the rempart it has
but up against Europeantim. It wn b<
Northern men that Jurae? was and is en
couraged to perse rva in his resistance ? but
the other day at Frankfort, their consul on
a public and solemn occasion raised the flag
of the fallen President of Mexico, andal
though the chances whnh have taken place
in Mexico have not yet been diplomatically
published and recognizeed this auspicious
piece of bravado proves that the sympa
thies of the North would seize upon peace
as the apportunity for throwing tnen and
money upon th* country in which France is
seeking to found a new empire.
The American war, from which France
has suffered more than England, can be
useful to us only if the North and South
part company definitively; and for these
reasons:
1. The Confederate States will be our al
lies, and will guarantee against attack
by the North.
2. Mexico, developed by our efTorts, and
sheltered from the attacks of tho North,
will reward all our hopes.
3.~Our factories will be ensured the sup
plies which they absolutely require.
Were the American war to end otherwise
all the adventurers whom peace would let
loose would simply fling themselves into
Mexico, and all that we have gone 10 (ar to
secure would bo gathered in by the men of
the North.
IV.
Tho North, made keen eyed by selfish
ness, has certainly foreseen this; and the
famous Monroe doctrine is nothing uiore
nor less than a policy of insurance against
civilization. What has become of those
glorious days when the tierce and touchy
patriotism of tho Americans boasted of a
confederacy free from public debt, of those
days when political liberty in nowtae tram
meled individual liberty, and the tree citi
zen of a freo State roamed freely over a
free soil? What has the North done with
the prestige and the glory which it used
forever to parade before the dazzled eyes of
European populations, scarce able to be- 1
lieve in the existence of so murh happiness 1
and libertv?
The American question is not one of tbo*? I
which can be deferred for solution to a more ?
convenient season.
It has been put to u* p*,int blank ; it must '
be settled peremptorily.
Every one n?w admits that Europe can
live in peace under a perpetual imminence
of questions ? Eastern, Roman, Ducal Hol
stein, and others ? because no one can see
his way to auy sharp and definite solution
of those great international problems.
Moreover, the interests disturbed by
those questions are either religious or po
litical ; they are not commercial, and they
? an be discussed. Now, in politics whatever
can be discussed need not bo peremptorily
dealt with. Time is the great aliayer of
political and religious emotions.
The American question, we repeat, has
been peremptorily put, and it will be com
pletely answered- Now, there is no possi
ble peace in the reconstruction of the L nion.
The two elements hare disengaged them
selves, and cannot be recombined.
The North, whether in the domain of
arms, of ideas, or of production, cannot and
will not absorb the South.
We see. then, that neither peace, nor ab
i sorption, nor conquest is possible, There
is nothing left bat secession at the end of
i the war.
While the Americans of the North could
make Europe believe they were fighting
against rebels it was the duty of Europe to
let them go on, despite the sufferings to
which was exposed by the contest; bat the
States of the Soath have est forth their pol
icy, their porpoeee, their rights; they dsidre
separation they refaeeto eorfcl i the North;
they are tired of alw aya giving and never
receiving: t he y are determined to fivotbeh'
own lifeT The North American exagger*
i lion of commercial interesta hat borne its
fruits, and tho South proposes toreonsti
tute its national system with an ey? to its
own interests. Now, siace thoae interests
conform to thoae of Franc* , since the cause
of the South is not only just, but logical,
1 France does not he&itate to declare her
sympathies, and her tirst act of sympathy
i naturally must be the recognition of the
i Confederate States.
Recognized by France, the streugth of
those states is quintupled at once, and their
adversaries lose all that they gain. Fit
other states are waiting to follow the ei
aiuple of France; among the commercial
powers of the second rank, may desire tho
establishment of a confederate republic s*
a mean* to the decentralization of the
Union. Tbeae powers, hitherto kept aloof
by the phantom of slavery, wtl? follow
France, ^because the whole world knows
that France lend* her aid only to the
works of social progres*.
These powers will naturally be joined bv
Spa;u, which posse** Havana, Austria,
wbich will be more directly involved in tho
aft'airs of the new world if she accepts th*
Mexican throne for Maximilian, must
likewise recognize the Confederate State*
And Englaud will then do what we have
done. She will r. oognize the South.
Tho Northern States will no longer j*r
severe in a strife thenceforth become h<p?
less.
The navy of France is anarguuioui which
mease of uecessity, would support her di
plomatir action.

From tb? Ntm York World
General Ben. Butler (who made a
million of dollars in New Orleans) in stump
ing Pennsylvania in support of the admin
istration which nnver compelled him to die
gorge bin plunder. Of conrse he in ft very
loyal man, and ho regarda all irbo look
with apprehension on a war conducted for
the benefit of men liko himself as disloyal.
Secretary Seward, in a f?rmal diplomatic
dispatch dated November 10th last, wrrte
to Minister Adams that the administration
most not bs confounded with the govers
ment, and that a citizen may oppose the
one without thought of disloyalty to the
other; but General Butler (whom the Ad
ministration allowed to make ft million of
dollars at New Orleans is of a different
opinion. He holds "that yon cannot di
vorce the administration from tbe govern
ment, as it is tbe only repreeentative it kai
got;1' and so all who do sot believe in Mr.
Lincoln or in the propriety of Butler mak
ing a million dollars (which be did at New
Orleans) are traitors.
General Butler, of course, is for tbn war
(be has already made a million of dollars
by it), end don't believe in ft rastorstion of
tbe good old Union It Is trtM be never
won ft tattle, while be loet two ? ooe ftt

last with a stone mason; bvt, notwitb stand
ing these disasters, his voice is still for War,
and? another million of dollars. The poo
pie of PennsylvftBia can judge bow dmo
terested is the advice of this millionaire
stumper. His loyrlty, hie dislike of "Cop
perheads," bis detestation of tbe old Union,
! and bis clamor for a w?r of sobjngstion,ftll
