Important from Europe-Ths Compliea-
sions or the Polish lnsurrection.
The latest advices from Europe show that
England, after having urged Napoleon on to
take firm, we might say menacing, stand
against Prussia and Russia as regards the &C
tion of these great Powers towards Poland, has
suddenly refused to join the Emperor in any
overt measures against the above nations.
Napoleon thus finds himself placed in most
awkward dilemma, as he was in Mexico when
England and Spain withdrew from that expedi-
ton and left him to bear the brunt of 1t alone.
He is compromised beyond all doubt in this
Polish affair, and must now either back out from
the bold stand assn med in his dispatches to the
Prussian Court or go through with the affair
alone England will not aid him. 1t is plain
that herein willy old Palmerston has outwitted
Napoleon, who finds himself driven on by the
desires of his people that he should free Poland
while he must fear that unaided it were mad
ness for him to undertake the task.
His delay and apparent hesitation annoy the
French champions of Poland, prominent among
whom stands Prince Napoleon, his cousin The
Opinion Rationale, the organ Of the Prince, is
out against the Emperor for not at once aiding
Poland, in most bitter manner, while we are
assured that the public sentiment throughout
all France has the same bias. What will be
the result of all this time will soon show;
for Napoleon must act, and that without delay
1880. She has again set the example, and we
may expect Europe to follow it. We are as
sured from good sources that in France the
revolutionary feeling is growing apace. There
are daily arrests made in all the principal cities
in France, while in Paris, as a precautionary
measure, the police force has been doubled.
These dangers so near his throne may drive
Napoleon to measures calculated to allay the
popular discomfort 1t will be in favor Of Po.
land, most likely, that he will endeavor to act;
for he must now understand that he will never
procure the aid of England against this coun-
try. We may rest assured that all chances OF
a recognition of the South by the European
Powers are ended. As regards Poland, Napo-
leon has one chance in bis favor: the sympathy
Of almost all Europe would be with him were
he to take her part boldly. The problem must
be solved soon, as the Poles themselves seem
determined to do or die, and will thus precipi-
tate events.
