NAPoLEoN's PRoposAL FOR AN
ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND AGAINST
AMERIcA.-The London correspon-
dent of the New York. Herald speaks
thus Of Napoleon's proposed alliance
With England:
There can be no doubt whatever,
that the Emperor Napoleon, on receipt
of the news Of the fall Of Richmond,
proposed to England to enter into an
alliance, offensive and defensive, against
the United States. That the above
proposition was made I know to be
true, and I know from the best sources,
that the very idea Of such an alliance
was repudiated instantly by the British
Ambassador at Paris, acting under
instructions from his Government. I
send you the account of which appears
in the official organ of Lord Palmer
ston, Of yesterdays date, from which
you will see the general feeling Of
both the British Ministry, and Of
very Influential portion Of the people
whom this paper represents.
The Paris correspondent Of the Lon~
don Herald Writes thus on the same
subject:
must also note, as a sign Of the
times, rumor that the French Govern
ment has made oyertures to cur

A New CAB1NE7.-The politicians
of the country are getting up new
Cabinet for Mr.. Johnson. A more
radical set of Cabinet Ministers is
needed, according to those gentlemen,
and they are determined upon two
interests to be included in the new
Cabiaet-Bsn. F. Butler and radical
ism. The new Cabinet is to be con-
structed as follows: Secretary OF State,
Benjamin F: Butler; Secretary Of War,
Edwin NJ. Stanton; Secretary Of the
Navy, Henry G. Stebbins, OF New
York; Secretary of the Treasury, Hugh
McCu!ough; Secretary Of the In,e-
rior, James Harlan; Postmaster, Gene
raj, John Covodc; Attorney General.
D. X. Garter, of Ohio, at present
Judge Of the Supreme Court Of the
District Of Columbia The programme
also included the appointment Of Ez
Senator Wilkinson, Of Minnesota, as
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs. and
of Mr.. Arnold, late Representative
from Illinois, as Solicitor Of the Trea-
sury.
Another arrangement proposes that
Mr.. Seward retain his position as So
cretary Of State, but if he positively
refuses to remain, be is to oe succeeded
by Charles Sumner Still another
programme is, that Messrs. Seward,
Stanton and Wells arc I'll to retire bv
the first of July, and TO be succeeded
by Charles F. Adams, Preston King
and John W. Forney, and that to this
end, Mr.. Adams has been granted
leave of absence from the Court at.
London, for the purpose of having
him in this country, to 4he end that
whatever may happen, he will at least
be on hand.

desirous Of joining the expedition can
register their names was opened in
this city yesterday morning. and was
crowded all day by applicants. Most
Of the volunteers in the movement
are veteran soldiers who have served
in the armies Of the Union during the
past four years. Common emigrants,
1t is understood, are guaranteed $1,000
and 800 acres Of land. The bounties to
those receiving commission as officers
will Of course be much larger. 1t is
reported that the Mexican Republican
General Ortega is At the head of the
enterprise, and that all the emsran,s
will go fully supplied with weapons Of
defence, but such arrangements have
been made that this proceeding will
involve no breach of international
neutrality.-Neao York Herald.
The inevitable result of the war
against rebellion has for some weeks
past been foreseen in the armies of the
Union, and it required nc prescience
to discover that by the 4th of July
next, one~half OF the Federal army
could be dispensed with. What shall
we do when this war is over? is a
question that has been very naturally
presented to the minds Of our soldiers,
BY four years removal from business
intercourse we have been, in a great
measure, disqualified for immediate
engagement in the ordinary pursuits of
commerce or trade, and we must do
something for our livelihood in the
future. We have acquired taste and
inclination for adventure. Where
shall we find the encouragement for
enjoyment Of these proclivities? In
Mexico, is the unanimous response;
and on to Mexico is now the word.
No armed expedition is contemplated,
so far as is now uggested; but emi>
grafton to Mexico bids fair to assume
greater proportions than do the.;rush
to California some fifteen years ago.
Washingto,s Republican, 9Th.
Hundreds of officers and men, of
both Federal and rebel armies, are
said to be going to Mexico, ostensibly
as emigrants, but really, it is hinted, to
fight the battles of the republic against
the Emperor. Authorized agents
from Mexico are said to be in most of
our principal cities for the purpose of
obtaining these invaluable recruits.
Gen. Ortega and son are at Washing
ton on this business, paying large
specie bounties to officers who are re-
commended to them by a board of
examiners. 1t begins to look as if
the experiment of an Imperial Gov
ernment in Mexico were destined to
be much less prolonged than the ex-
pertinent of Southern Confederacy
IN this country has been. Macmillan
will probably soon be on his way to
Europe, perfectly disgusted with his
experiences on this side Of the water.

The New Foreign Policy of the
United States,

The capture of Richmond, the sur
render Of Lees army, TIE flight of
JET. Davis as robber and fugitive
from justice, the collapse of his Con-
iederacy and the murder Of P. .esident
Lincoln by rebel conspirator, arc
events which have startled and alarmed
the Western Powers Of Europe. Eng
land and France feel that they are in
danger of being called TO a speedy
settlement Of our heavy outstanding
accounts agains: them, and they seem
only to be doubtful whether. with a
hundred and fifty thousand of his
veteran soldiers, Gen. Grant will first
march upon Canada or Mexico. Hence
the protective alliance suggested by
Louis Napoleon, and hence the decli.
nation Of England to invite the ha-
yards of struggle with the great
Republic, now ready for any emer-
gency, when, by appealing to our
magnanimity, she may obtain pardon
and save her bordering colonies.
But, with the suppression of jeff.
Davis and his Southern Confederacy,
ard with the restoration of the sub
stantial wealth and strength of the
rebellious States to the Union. there
are broader and deeper causes for ap-
nrehension to England, France and all
the nations Of the European Continent
than our anticipated absorption of
Canada and Mexico. The United
States emerge from this stupendous
domestic war the foremost military
power on the globe for defensive or
aggressive warfare, on the land or
water; the first in agricultural, manu-.
featuring and mineral resources; the
first in our commercial situation, means,
materials, advantages and facilities,
and the first in the general enterprise,
intelligence and progressive spirit of
our people, compared with the masses
OF any other nation. But the great
secret Of this superiority has been
fully disclosed bv the severe trials Of
the late war; and the world now
knows that the strength and elasticity
OF our Government, of the people, are
equal to all contingencies. Herein
lies the great danger to the feudal
aristocracies Of Europe and their divine
rights Of kings. Our system of popu.
lar Government, not weakeped, but
immensely strengthened, by the trial,
emerges from its struggles with a
rebellion which, under similar disad-
vantages in the outset to the Govern.
ment, would haze wrecked the stoutest
European monarchy.
From this momentous triumph of
the people on this side the Atlantic
the people on the cher side, from the
Thames to the Danube, will take
courage, and with moral power
which they have never known before,
they will, renew the war of progress
sive ideas and popular rights against
the etiete establishments inherited from

Gen. Joseph e. Johnston.

AAe'uCU writes ttluS Oh an interview ne
had with Gen. Johnston, at Greens.
boro, North Carolina:
After the Union General had con-
ferred with Gen. Johnston, the gentle
men Of the press were formally pre-
sented and introduced to the rebel
commander, who rose and received
them in the most friendly manner.
During a brief period when the
General was disengaged, I had
private conversation with him on sub
jects pertaining to the war and the
surrender of his army. 1 read to him
the following:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, April "a, 1865.
This department has information
that the Presidents murder was or
ganized in Canada, and appeared at
Washington. .* n
EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary Of War.
After which I inquired, General do
you think that Mr.. Davis had anv.
thing to do with the assassination
4 do not he replied, when
told President Davis that Lincoln had
been assassinated, he was very much
grieved indeed. I do not believe-in.
fact am sure that President Davis did
not In any way countenance the act.'
Gen. Hampton went away without
being paroled?'
4cs. understand he was ordered
BY the President to accompany him.
Gen. Johnston admitted that one
division had gone of with Davis.
Wheeler, it was reported to-day, had
gone with him.
Gen. Johnston saws there was no
absolute immediate necessity for the
surrender; that he could have got
away from Sherman. He said: But
| saw that we must come up some
where. We certainly would have to
stop at the Mississippi, SO negotiated
as [ did with Gen Sherman, believing
1t criminal to prolong a hopeless war
another day. The fate of the Con.
frderacy was decided in Virginia.
When Lee surrendered there was an
end to it. Had [ marched nv army
away as I might have done. it was
only dragging Sherman afer me. He
would have foraged on the country,
and would have been compelled to
DO the same. The country would have
been devastated and we would have
had to come to some terms at last
Another correspondent of the Herald
writes as follows:
Gen. Jchnston's camp was a very
pain one, scarce as respectable as a
division generals in the Union army.
The tents were old and scattered about
without much regard to regularity.
The Generals was plain wall tent,
not much better than the rest. In
front OF this Gen. Johnston and some
five or six of his staff officers were
sitting on the lid Of a mess chest, near
them were the remains of very plain.
frugal supper. Johnston is a man of
about FIVE feet nine inches in height,
rather slight, but muscularly built
frame. From appearances, J. should
take him 10 be abou, fifty. Only that
his hair and beard are so grey, you
would not think him SO oli. He is
evidently a man Of great reflective
powers, combined with untiring energy.
his conversation is so natural, dig
nif:ed and easy, that you at once feel
at your ease, though at the same time
jou are conscious he is reading your
thoughts like an open book. He pos
sesses much of the refined ease and
elegance Of gentleman. with the
penetration and tirmness Of q soldier.
