Paris Correspondence.

New YORK, Sept. l8.-Paris correspon'
dent Of the New York Tines:
PARIS, Sept. "A mostimPortant change
has taken place in European affairs. En-
peror Napoleon has turned somerset and
now lies in the dust at the feet of Prince
Gortschkoff. His position of European die
tator is at an end and hereafter he will
have enough to do to take care of himself.
His majesty tried to carry England and Aus,
tria with him into war with Russia and
Prussia on the Polish question, and hoped
by this war to conquer the Russian pro-
vince, but his allies took alarm and While
England declared she would 60 to war Tor
Poland, Austria went TO work to organize
the German Confederation against him
A bout the same time there came to Paris
positive assurances that Mr. G. NJ. Clay was
maturing an alliance between the q. s. and
Russia, which engaged the U. S. to attack
France and Mexico in case OF European
var.
Then are before Napoleon's eye that bug
bear of his family coalition which should
embrace as active enemies Russia, the Ger-
man Confederation and the United States,
aud as passive but not less damaging enc
my Great Britain Such a combination
would have cost him his crown in three
months. He saw it, took alarm, turned
square around and fell on his knees before
Gortschkoff, protested he never intended to
go to war for Poland, washed his hands OF
the Polish question and begged to be friends
again. England thus being placed morally
in an attitude Of hostility to France will be
forced into q friendship with the United
States.
Another result of the affair is that the
Mexican elephant will be left on Napoleon's
band for Grand Duke Maximllan now re-
fuses the new throne, and there is no other
Prince eligible or acceptable, who will take
ie. There is now evidence the intrigues OF
the French Consuls in the South for de-
lacbing of Texas were true. They have
not ceased in regard to the Florida at Brest
The same correspondent states that the
engines Of the Florida are of English manu-
facture and much derauged. Motfit was
oblige1 to stop some where but found after
arriving at Brest that the French workmen
could not repair his English engines, and
he would have to wait till he could get
English workmen from England All this
has caused delay which has put Motfitt
INTO a towering rage for now his vessel will
probably suffer the fate of the Sumter at
Giberalter, but there is no help for it. Moi.
hit says it was ne who cut out the Caleb
Gushing at Portland. 1t was In his pro.
sramme at one time to enter the port of
New York or Boston and burn the place.
When the Florida first came into the port
Of Brest, Mr.. Dayton protested formally
against her admission, but not, probably,
with the expectation Of having her expe H.
cd, for so far the French have faithfully
executed their neutrality proclamation in
all other respects and it was to be expected
they would also in this. But protest
guaranteed the incidental points which
might arise and prevented an extension Of
tavors not found in the the neutrality proc
lamation if such should be attempted
Tue MoDituer this morning publishes an
yficial note on the subject which declares
,he will only be allowed Co repair such dam
,ges as regards her navigation but no sup
plies in war material will be furnished her.
