THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S POSI-
TON.
ChangA If RaSo

A Change of Base.
The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Times, who has SO many times written mis-
taKenly Of wonderful things to happen, tells
now that "the Emperor Napoleon has turned
q summerset, and now lies at the feet Of Gorts-
chakoff;" that he .tried to carry England and
Austria with him into war with Russia and
Prussia on the Polish question, and hoped by
this war to conquer the Rhenish provinces
But his allies took alarm, and while England
declared boldly she would not go to war for
Poland, Austria went to work to organize the
German Confederation against him.
About the same time tn ere came to Paris nos.
tive assurances that Mr.. C. M. Clay was ma :
turing an alliance between the United States
and Russia, which engaged the United States
to attack France in Mexico, in case OF Euro
mean war. Then arose before Napoleon, q evas
that bughear of his family, q coalitiou-a coali-
ton which should embrace as active enemies
Russia, the German Confederation, the United
States, and as passive, though not less dam
aging enemy, Great Britain. Such combina.
ton would have cost him his crown in three
months he saw it, took alarm, turned square
round, fell on his knees before Gortschakof,
protested that he never intended to go to war
for Poland, washed his hands of the Polish
question: ana oeefsa >" DC Islsnas again
But the most curious part Of the affair is,
that Eng and, being thus placed morally in an
attitude Of hostility to France and Russia will
he forced into friendship with the United
States taa ..se
Arotner result Of the affair Is, that the Mex.
lean elephant will be left on Napoleoa's hands,
for the Grand Duke Macmillan fsoto REFUSES
the nese throne, and there is NO other Prince ELL
gible or acceptable who will take it,
As To the friendship existing between Russia
and the United States. there Ii probably no
hope Of destroying that for, IN q case OF war
Russia has more interest with France than
with the United Ststes. and France can secure
her neutrality In american aasirs, which u all
she desires for the present. BY this arrange-
uaent she will reduce the number OF her enc
mics in. the Mexican proceedings 10 one-ths
