Napoleon and the ConfederaGy--Spain
TO Come ia.
The Paris correspondent OF the New York
Tmea, writing on the 10th inst, says:
There are some strange runners IN circpla.>
ton within a day or two, whioh | give you
only as ruinors. Another change has been
made. according to these reports, IN the Mex
;can programme, Mexico ia to be placed I'M.
der the French protectorste, or to become
COLONY of France, with q French Prince for
Governor. The Confederates have repouncAt
All idea oi regaining the Mississippi river, and
The Trsns-M Mississippi cnun;ry, without for
eipp aid. Mi. Sl;de,r''s visits to the Emperor
and Foreign Secretary, lately, are SAID to be
in connection with this new slate of things on
the Mississippi. They are concoctins scheme,
far an alliance against the United States, with
3 view of securing, the one Mexico and the
other the MISSISSIPPI Valley. The fall OF
Vick,lurs and Port Hudson, they. say, will
throw JEFF. Davis and Napoleon int, each
Others arms-that will lie the. final blow
wb;cb will precipitate an alliance that only
hangs fire because the question OF 'he MIS-
.;ss;nn; MIGHT by GONE hazard turn contrary
~ nrasent expectations. It is this. they say,
which makes Napoleon so taSe%at!' oa the
question Of Poland it is this which makes
him continually say thst Mexico Is the ole
affair of the moment it isthis winch require

Ind vet the Government papers declared at.
ter the fan of Puebla, that there were enough
men Q in Mexico to finish the campaign:
II is also asserted on ell hands ttst the.
Emperor, finding that he cannot induce Eng.
land to Join him in,hastile measures against
The Unised States. or rather, perhaps, not dc.
s;rous that England Should join him, and yet
anxious TO give himselfthe aid Of an ailyiis
now treating with Spain on thisssnbject, and
that Spain shows.a willingness to second the
Emneror's views. The rumor adds that the
Marshal O;Donnell, who is now here, aud IL
go;ng North to Berlin, ostensibly- for the
purposs of consulting the fsnousOeculst
{%;roite. for Mraies O'Donnei's eyes, is in
fact. in ,reaty with the Emperor on this cues
ton of arranging the %affairs of the Mexi-
can Guiffor their mutual benefits.
The correspondent further says That ths
French residents of New Orleans transmitted
to tie Emperor a letter, representingto the
Emperor,. through his Vice Consul at that
port.that the action Of the United States ap-
thorities there, tends to bring about a COLI
s;cn between the blacks and whites of that

Could defend themselves; they therefore, re-
quest that the Emperor will send TO The Mig

as the emergency may require: The New
York Times treats the subject very seriously,
and says: r..
What all this amounts to, it is not easy as
vet TO say BIT the action of the French
Emperor is. certainly suspicious enough to
demand and reward the most vigllant adten-
ton of~our Government. Some days since
We expressed the opinion that the danger of
Enreien intervention in our Affairs would beg
comesthe greatest, just:when ar prospects Of
crushing the rebellion shouldseemt the brigb-
test. We hold to'this o%pjnionstill,1 snd these
