A SPEcK OF WAR.-The news from Eu-
rope by the Canada, begins to look interest
ing. The question naturally arises, what
means all these prcParations' There is
certainly a disposition evinced by France
and England to be jealous Of each other,
and the peculiarities Of the French EmPer-
or in manufacturing surprises keeps all Eu-
rope in u delightful state of suspense. 1t
may all end in smoke, but we would not be
greatly surprised il this was caused by the
burning Of charcoal and saltpetro. Napo-
leon probably thinks that, if his right to min
gle with the crowned heads Of the old world
is conceded with a bad grace, he can earn
his title by the right Of conquest, a posses
sion that has never been successfully disPut-
ed. He is certainly putting his Empire in a
most formidable condition, and should he be
able to render his navy sufficiently powerful
to compete successfully with that of his
Sister beyond the channel, It's quite certain
that France can cause trouble and make
thones trcmble. A Frenchman is good in
the d-rawing-room and at the dance, bu'
when he lays his politeuess aside to mingle
in the fields of strife, he proves himself as
successful in cutting threats as he was II
winning gentle. hearts. il Napoleon lives

HEALTH OF THE FRENCH EMPERoR.-The
Paris correspondent of the New York Her
aid, under date Of Is ult., gives the following
somewhat mysterious account Of Louis Ma
poleon's health:
Politics are dull in Paris, and the only
capital point Of the gossip is the disease
which u is threatening the life ofLouis Napo-
leon, and which has caused much anxiety
among his friends and partiZans within the
two last weeks. The Emperor has had sew
eral attacks of this complaint within the a.
bove named period, and suffered a greatdeal.
The physicians who attend him, and partic-
ularly DR.. Donneau, entertaining much
fear of this unforeseen evil, and no one can
tell what will be the immediate or delayed
result of Louis Napoleon's sickness. Des-
pite the intolerable sufferfngs to which the
Emperor has been subject, he has not ceas-
ed one day to appear in public, 10 meet with
his ministers, and 10 go to the operas and
theatresi in the evening. But, nevertheless
the face of Louis Napoleon betrays the suf'
ferings of bis body, and though ! was some
what accustomed to his appearance and tC
know the. p~alencss Of his complexion, | was
particularly struck with it last night, at the
grand ball given at the Tuilleris, where the
Emperor appeared like a phantom, the face
as pale as that Of a corpse, and having the
resemblance of a wax figure. Every person
present at the ball made the remark that thu
Emperor was not enjoying very good health
and all those who made the remark guessed

CALEB CUsHIEe.-The Louisville Journal
says the friends Of Caleb Cushing urge his
admission into the Cabinet on account Of
his great achievements in Mexico, and adds:
The only achievement Of his in that coun-
try, SO far as we ever heard, was his tumb-
ling down and breaking his leg one dark
night. We do not remember precisely
where that event happened, but the Rich
mond Wing says that he fell into the famous
ditch dug at Camargo by his friend Pillow.
The event after all may be rather credita-
BILE to his military accomplishments. He
no doubt was sufficiently acquainted with
the science OF war TO know on which side Of
a breastwork the trench should be dug, and,
as Pillow had dug his on the wrong side, our
hero naturally tumbled into it without hav-
ing the slightest notion as to its locality.
We think that he might have recovered
from Pillow the value o. his leg in dollars
and cents by an action of damages.
