JUDGE Belts AND THE HABEAs CoRPus--
Judge Belts, Of New York in a case brought
before him since the Presidents proclamation
suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus, recognizes
the binding force of that proclamation and also
the validity OF the Consumption Law. In the
course Of his opinion he says
The Government has the right todeiend its
own existence, and when it is necessary it my
say to all, You shall not prevent or embarrass
the action OF the Government in the exercise OF
this high power by any form of legal action. y
IL may say, " Each man must come forward to
help defend the national life, and he cannot in
terpose the objection that he is not lawfully
called upon, or that he is called on to do more
than he nelghbor. IL is enough that he is called
on Dy TIE government anu is within its reach. y
" We Impose the same authority in other
matters, We supersede all action on the part
OF corpora lions at once by legal proceedings. We
stop the proceedings of individuals b, injunction
We send an injunction from one court to anoth.
er, stopping Its actions as much as by physical
force. No one thinks that such things oanno
be dose 10 be necessary for the time being.
And .he suspension of the writ hdbeas corpus Is
only saying thai the court shall not be open ior
such proceeding. The writ is ieiunct Tor the
purpose o. interposlng such objections, and no
court shall act N relIfenoe to such cases.

The Position Of France

A Paris letter to fbe New York INES has the
following important statements:
"A most important change has taken place IN Eu-
ropean affairs. The Emperor Napoleon has rap
idly turned somerset and now lies in the Dust at
the feet Of Prince Gortschakof. His position Of
European dictator is at an end, and hereafter be
will have enough TO do TO take care oil himself.
His majesty tried 10 carry England and Austria
vi h him in a war with Russia and Prussia on the
Polish question, and he hoped by this war TO con-
quer the Rhinish provinces, but hisaes took alarm
and while England declared boldly she would not
20 to war for Poland, Austria went 10 work to or
ganize the German Confederation against him.
About the same time there came TO Paris posi-.
tive assurances that Mr.. G. NJ. Clay was maturing
an alliance between the United States and Russia,
which engaged Russia to attack France in case Of
European war. Then arose before Napoleon's
eyes the bugbear OF his family, coalltion-a Goa
lilion which should embrace as active enemies
Russia, the German Confederation, the United
States. and as passive but not less damaging en-.
envy, Great Britain.
Such coalition would have cost him his crown
10 three months. lie saw it, took alarm, turned
square round, fell on bis knees before Gortschakoh

Poland, washed his hands of the Polish question,
and begged to be fri nds again.
Soon after it was asctrtaned that Napoleon was
corresponding with st Petersburg, and subse-
quently the Emperor of Russia informed the King
ofPrussia that Napoleon had abandoned the Poles,
that be RENTED to the Car Gas Mr.. Seward did
10 tbs first place. the care Of doing justice TO Po'
land, and that he desired an understanding be-
tween himself and Alexander and King William
by which the scheme Of Austria in the consolida-
tan of tbs confederation might be checked and
turned to the disadvantage of Austria. Now, a,
Russia considers France her natural ally in Eu.
rope, and as Prussia is anxious to remain on good
terms with France for fear Of a war for the Rhine
there was no difficulty in coming to friendly I'M
Outstanding.
England being thus placed morally in an ntli'
tude of hostility to France and Russia will be
forced into friendship with the United States
Another result Of the affair is that the Mexican
elep ant will be left on Napoeon's hands, for the
Grand Duke Macmillan now refuses the new
throne, and there is no other Prince eligible OF
acceptable who will take it.
There is now evidence that the intrigues OF the
French Cousuls in the South for the detaching OIL
Texas we're true, and that they have not ceased. y
