Ing the Northern States. In recent years the
tendency Of the Canadian people, particularly
Of the inhabitants Of Canada West, is to CRAWL
tate towards the United States. The country d,
now more'fre than the mother country, and far
more democratic. But In Canada, as in Mexico,
there Is o monarchical party who desire to see
kingcraft firmly established, and their organs
have been recently advocating the erection of
monarchy, with enc of the royal family Of
England at its head. They say this Is the right
time to set the bali In motion. The meaning of
which Is that while the North and South of the
United States are engaged in q deadly interne-
one struggle, and when Napoleon is 1anking the
country on one side with hostile European In
situations, Great Britain ought to aid in the
work by commencing her aanking operations
on the other side. Thus do the great Western
Powers of Europe hope to crush out democ-
racy in America. But let them keep cool.
Their slippery, hypocritical alliance is des-
tined to be of brief duration. There is no en-
tente cordiale Jealousy and fear of each other
are too strong to permit effective cooperation,
and any little sccide mt may in moment shat
ter even tho superficial understanding between
them. The day is not distant when all their elabo-
rate arrangements will be snapped asunder like
aspider's web, and the young giant of America,
awaking to sense Of his danger from foreign
complications, will speedily settle his house
hold affairs, and 90 forth in his might to sweep
from this continent every vestige of European
dominion.
The Present Position OF Napoleon tho
Third I'm Europe.
The successes Of the French forces in Mexi-
co have entirely changed the position of the
Emperor Napoleon, not only in his own empire,
but throughout oil Europe. The fall Of Puebla
relieved the Mexican expedition of the stigma
Of unsuccess, and, by giving promise of speedy
termination Of the campaign, rendered it less
Unpopular with the masses in France. When it
shall become known in Europe that the city OF
Mexico has fallen into the hands of the French
without blow and that the church party are
sworn adherents Of the Emperor Napoleon, the
prestige Of the latter will regain all its lustre
which the protracted resistance of the Mexicans
had so furnished. The Emperor will thus escape
the blows of the opposition, who had in the
Mexican expedition a lever wherewith to I'M
dermtne the influence and power of his Majesty.
The people Of France will be blinded by vani-
ty, and will, for the nonce, shout Vice rEns-
persur with considerable enthusiasm, as they
always do after victory.
It is well known that Napoleon intends i'm
proving the internai condition of Mexico; that
he will construct railroads, and in every man.
ner increase and cultivate the resources Of the
country. He will work the gold and silver
mines, and draw large revenue from the con-
quered people. Thus on the score Of expense,
he has now real and palpable advantage,
which the French will not be slow to appreci-
ate. They will understand that all the treasure
expended will be recovered, and will, from
that very fact, look upon the expedition now
with as much favor as before they cried out
against it.
OF course Napoleon will be all the more
powerful in Europe, and we may look to see
him take such measures in the Polish question
as will enable him to push out his frontiers to
the Rhine. He will provoke Russia to open
war. Prussia, II is well known, will side with
Russia in the matter, and Napoleon will not
lose the opportunity to seize upon the territory
which will give him the Rhine as the boundary
between his empire and Germany.
Austria has shown q desire to keep clear Of
any quarrel which may arise apropos Of the
Polish question. She sides neither with France
and England nor with Russia, and will no
doubt endesvor to play the same role she enact
ed during the Crimean war. Whether Napo-
leon will allow her thus to steer clear of all
difficulty remains to be seen. He has great
advantage over the Austrian Emperor as,
through Hungary and venetia, he can force him
to take measures such as will suit the policy of
France. Italy will act with Napoleon from the
same cause, aRd Spain will side with France,
because at present she Ia flushed with success
We nave the assurance Of Lord Palmers-
ton that there is q complete understand
ing between France and England upon
all questions whether East or West. The sue
cess OF the Mexican expedition will render the
entente cordiole all the more likely to be firm,
as England will now fear Napoleon mere than
ever. 1t Ia to be apprehended that flushed
with the success Of his Mexican scheme, Napo-
leon will cndeavor once more to mediate in
the affairs Of this country. He will feel now
that he has recovered his fcstige, and viii
wish all the world to EEL tho same. We do
cot doubt that France VIII dew issume most
prominent position, and that she will dictate to
the Powers OF Europe with an audacity never
but once paralleled We refer to the days of
the great Napoleon. The present Emperor is
well aware that to drown the discomfort OF his
subjects he must cater to their vanity, aud we
shall doubtless see him doing this to surfeit
Of the feeling. Europe will fear the man in
his great success. Let us hope that we may
ere long have time TO pay attention to the
movements Of Napoleon on this continent.
The inclination to do so is strong enough now.
This opportunity will, we hope, soon present
iteen. when Il does Napoleon will And that
