as long ago as in May last, Louis Napoleon

ne y would be glad TO confer with him on the af-

position to be acquainted with the facts We
be'eve however, that American gentlemen Of
distinction, recently returned from Europe, can
cohHfhn, OF their own personal knowledge, the
statement that the Emperor is ennrcssed bv
the idea Of a war with Russia.
There IS certainly nothing Improbable i1
tnese reports No fact is better established
'hat 'he opinions and policy of the first po-
Of Napoleon Ill We have already copied from
the London Exominer an article calling. atien-
.'on TO the following remarkable language used
~ Napoleon, a st. Helena, 10 Barry OFMerra,
in 1917:

hsy, ana all Greece. This hold 10 be as Ger

s.ani'nopte, Russia gets all the commerce of the
pnef,ahean, becomes great naval power,
ana Tod knows what may happen" &c
Ihis Is certainty one OF the most remarkable
Instances n Of political prophrsy on record.--
Even's IN Europe are rapidly shaping them
serves, at the present moment, for precisely tha
state OF things which Napoleon predicted and
nothing is more likely than that his successor,
the present Emperor, holding the views he .iss
known to entertain upon the European policy Of
ms uncle as system, and regarding himself, as
he Is known TO do, rs the executor of his uncle's
VIII, should regard it as his duty and destiny 10
resist KussIan aggression, and 10 enlist against
u all the force that Eastern Europe can supply.
when the first Napoleon predicted that Russia
'osM .4ustr.a could conquer Turkey, against the
efforts OF Western Europe, Hungary had not de
veioped her independent existance as military
power, and Turkey was weaker than she is ut
present Now, if France. England, and Prus--
sla unite to support Turkcy-and if the Poles.
Hungarlans and Sclavic provinces of Austria
make common cause, each for the s,tainnent of
IT'S own ends, Louis Napoleon may reasonably
nope 70 prevent the consumption Of that result
which his illustrlous uncle predicted
