The Emperor Napoieon's Speech 20 the
French Cbambers-A War Cloud.

His Majesty Of France is maa who never
speaks bis mind upon any subject until he has
matured his plans and is quite ready to act. 1t
will be borne in mind that casual remark of
his made to the Austrian Ambassador during
a New Year call plunged all Europe into con-
sternation.. The remark in itself was quite
insignifcant-a mere regret that France aud
Austria we're not on such terms as Napoleon
could desire. Why did these few words have
so remarkable an effect Merely because il is
well knowa in Europe that Napoleon the
Third who might be ssassses ss. he "TsSitqEn,.
never gives q hint as to his future Action until
that action is determined upon In that light
the discourse bis Majesty ha. just made before
tue French Deputies is pregnant with meaning
we might say with menace. After few re-
marks showing that the condition of the empire
is more prosperous than could have been ex-
gected, als9 9 aigt that the Mexican expedition
| is more important than is generally understood
in France, Napoleon comes TO the announce.
ment ne has TO make about the Polish question;
and here he dwells somewhat at length upon
the course to be pursued by France
The Emperor asserts that the treaties of
lsl5 no longer exist. So has Earl Rus.
sell stated, and the Russian government has
said the same Thus, in repeating the fat OF
England and Russia, Napoleon make. no start
ling announcement; but he does this when he
further on state: that Europe cannot remain in
constant agitation about Poland. and says that
a congress must be called together aud the
question settled Russia cannot take offence
at such step, urges Napoleon; and he adds
that at any rate, "even should ii cost sacrifices
the matter mus, be arranged. Ir motion for
q congress is not accepted, says the French
Emperor Europe shall at least have been
made TO understand the source of danger and
the means Of safety There is one deduction
to be made from these remarks which is i'm
portant aud that s, that the common action of
France England and Austria is at an end, as
general congress is proposed Hstce We may
