Napoleon's Views upon the Polish Qaes-
tt0n.
We learn by tho City of London that Napo.
leon opened the French Legislature on the 5th
with Pee flc speech. He spoke of the effect Of
the arrival Of Macmillan In Mexico, as If the
acceptance ofthe throne had been decided upon
by that prince; suggested q Congress for
the settlement of the Polish question; re-
gretted the unsatisfactory condition of the
the financial affairs of France, and incident
ally alluded to the rebellion In this country.
All know that these opening speeches do not
always indicate what Napoleon intends to
do. Our private advices, received from re-
liable sources, inform US that the Emperor is evi-
Of paramount importance. He has ordered
Count Walewsd, his Minister, to write history
Of Poland, with the intention, of course Of
working upon the public mind in France, 30
that he may secure the sympathy Of his sub
jects in the great war he will undertake against
Russia In the spring. There can be no doubt
that Napoleon has fully made up his mind to

now impede his progress, and that he will
withdraw his troops from Rome, and thus end.
as far as he is concerned, the italian qQe6bn.
He has. we are told already made PROPOSAL
to the Spanish government that Queen Isabella
should send ton thousand soldiers to the Eter-
nal City, to replace the French garrison now
occupying that town. To cause friendly feel
ing towards France, the Empress Eugenie is
making a tour through Spain, and ere long we
shall doubtless hear that the two countries are
on the best terms, and that Spain has concluded
to associate herself in the policy of France.
Once freed from the vexations of the Italian
question, Napoleon will then, no doubt, make
it very apparent that he has no further sympa-
thy for Davis aud his compeers, and that the
cause Of the South is one that be no longer
wishes to meddle with, even indirectly. He
we'll knows that ere he can successfully under
take his great campaign against Russia be must
be on good terms with this government, and
that this is impossible % long as he is intruding
upon our continent; so that we may reasonably
look forward to bis withdrawal from Mexico
also. He will manage in some way-he is
never at loss for an expedient-to x out

consequence of this determination, we now see

assistance or alliance Of any Power to enable
us to conquer the South and command the
respect and neutrality Of Europe. The rebel
lion is near its end. 1t has certainly lived
longer than it would had not European aid
and sympathy been extended to it; but that
time has passed, and now the South will find
that it must succumb. To restore the Union and
al ~ cor
and power we shall need no aid. We are self
reliant, and work out our own good cause.
From what we have said, il is plainly to be
understood that we neither desire nor demand
any alliance, and that all idea Of our wishing
to make common cause with Russia is all
mistake. Nowhere more than In this country
will Napoleon meet with encouragement whom
he commences his campaign against the Rus
SLAMS. We have always sympathized with the
unhappy Poles and abhorred the atrocities of the
Russians in their attempt to subdue the former;
and when we hear that Napoleon intends to
make war upon Russia in order to gain tho
freedom of Poland he has our best wishes.
We have seen enough Of the Ru, ,sians lately TO
more than satisfy us that these barbarians can
not be sympathetic with Us. We made violent
effort to treat the Russians now visiting us
with distinction; but owing to their barbsrism
the whole affair assumed the proportions of
stupendous joke. Barbarlans they are, and bar
barians they will remain for some time to
come, and we must say that We have had enough
Of them, and are quite prepared to gran. our en-.
tire sympathy to France when she shall CON-
meuce the great struggle for P GLAND.
