Proposal from Napoleon to Mediate be.
tween England and the United States.

The New York Post of Wednesday, calls atten.
tion to the important intelligence received from Its
Paris correspondent, in reference to the contro-
versy now peniing between English and Ameri
can Cabinets The Post states, on the authority of
its correspondent, shat proposal has been made
by the French Government to arbisrate the diff
ferences existing between the governments Of Eng
land and the United States" and that the former
had assented to it.
The writer says:
1t is generally thought here tina. the differences
that are now pending between your country and
England will be amicably settled 1t seems, more
over that France has offered to mediate between
you and there is every reason to believe that, in
view of the prependerance this country has latter.
ly acquired in the affairs of Christend0m, owing in
q greas measure, to her success in the Eastern war;
this mediation If it is really offered and accepted
will smooth away all the obstacles that now stand
in the way of perfect understanding between the
two governments.
He adds the close of his letter. written the day
previous to the sailing of the steamer:
at is certain that France is spoken OF as media
tor between England and the United States, and
that the former has positively offered to submit TO
this arbitration"
Assuming this revelation to be true, the Post re-
marks: Ae
He does not say that such proposal has been
formally communicated to the United States, but
we presume it has, of course. 1t would seem from
this that Lord Clarendon has made more progress
in spreading the evidence of honorable Intentions
among the people of Europe than among those ty
whom such evidence is most needed In the present
crisis

OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAIN-The
Union, of Thursday, contains long review of our
differences with England and after referring to
the insulting tone of the British press, adds:
But we cannot forbear to add one remark which
is, that Great Britain is thus threatening the Uni
her laws or insuted her sovereignty in any, the
least thing whatever, but only because, after she
has infrnged our laws and insulted our sovereign
ty, courteJusly request her to relieve us from
the presence of her minister, Mr.. Champion for
reasons the most cogent and unanswerable-
There is no other cause of pretext rupture be-
tween the two countries We shall see whether
with all her professions of civilization and philan-
thropy, Great Britain will suffer Lord Palmerston
to plunge her into a sangunary and fratricidal
war with the United States for the personal bene-
fit of Mr.. Champion. If in the wilfulness of con
scious injustice, England chooses to declare war,
let war come; and then, as twice already, be the
God of Battles judge betwixt us and the Father
