EIMMEME
Napoleon and the Irish.
It has been announeed that the Emperor
Napoleon has expressly intimated to Marshal
Mae-Mahon, that he must not accept the sword
of honor subscribed fin• by enthusiastic ad
mirers (Whim in Ireland. It it supposed, with
groat probability, that Napoleon exercises this
prohibition principally from a desire not to
sanction any thing at all likely to weaken his
entente confide with England.
It must be confessed that lie had tome
grounds for suspecting that tilt homage of
Mac-Nation's enthusiastic Irish admirers could
scarcely be considered favorably by the British
Government. At the meetings held, in va.
rim's parts of Ireland, to raise the necessary
fund to purchase the sword, many of the
speakers frankly avowed their hope that, at no
distant day, Ittac•Malion might visit the land of
his forefathers, heading a French army; sent
over by Napoleon to aid the Irish hi esniblish
ing their national independence. Of course'
the British Government must have been aware
that such aspirations were uttered in such lan
guage. Therefore, Napoleon very prudently
has put his Veto upon the sword-presenting
project, and iliac-Mahon must be contented
with the sword which he used at the siege Of
Antwerp and the assault url i lm (onstantine, at
the storming of the Ma id 1, air mai the battle of
Icheriden (liabylie,) at the Passage of the
TOBBlllO and the victory of Magenta.
There is a something supremely absurd in
the idea of the Irish people presenting Mac-Ma
hon, Duke of Magenta, sin a sword, because,
some hundred and seventy years ago, ono of
his ancestors emigrated to Fiance. Six gene
rations have risen and fallen siyce a MaeMa
hon, a refugee Ali the Stuarts, made France
his home. Were a sword of honor presented
to him, in recognition of his valor, it certainly
might be admitted that he had merited such a
compliment, but to give it beeatise of his re
mote Irish blood is an absurdity.
Touching the hope of Marshal Mae-Mahon,
Duke of Magenta, ono day visiting Ireland at
the head of a French /Ulu, it is entertained
not only by enthusiastic opponents of English
rule, in Ireland, but was more recently sug
gested by Mr. John Mitchel, in his Letters
from Paris, as a desirable and probable event.
Ireland has had one lesson on the policy of in
viting foreign aid. The Anglo-Normans were .
invited, in the twelfth century, to aid one petty
Itish ruler agalnStmitother, and they have re
tained the country ever since, as a conquest.
Robert Emmett, 'Hie caltitlated upon .assis
tance from France, in 18 . 63, indignantly rod
diated the charge of ivanting to deliver lig
Ireland to a foreign power, and, least of all, te,
France. Ile said i "Small, indeed, would
our claim to patriotism and senso, and palpal
our affectation of the love of liberty,if ,
were to sell env country to a people N\llo tti , .
not only slaves themselves, but the Ileprilleh•

slatery on others," Be instanced the conduct
of Prance, under the fit At Napoleon, In fink

If the British ()lover:intent Mel an tipprcheur

In the Words of Lever's song, ff lie's not the
man fur Galtvily." Antagollisin to NUM rule
is a general anti impulsive feeling among go
Irish, at !ionic a n d abroad. Indeed, it England
had a particular desire, to create and busier this
hostile feeling, sho has acted, ever since the
invasion under Stronghow, in the very manner
exactly calculated to make the Irish indignant,
impatient, and intensely inimical. Until with•
in a very few years, misgovernment has been
the isle in Ireland. No wonder that disalfec
lien broke out into open revolt in 1798; ISOJ,
and in 1818. It would hate livened into re
bellion between the execution of Robet
i'n
mett, and the penal expatriation of O'lhien
and Meagher, only for the pacific policy of
O'Connell, who could speak daggers, but care
fully took care not to use them. All through
his life-long struggle for Emancipation and Re
peal, he took eat oto keep within the law,'' a s
he was wont to say. Young Ireland Woke into
revolt soon after O'Connell's death, and why
did not that Rebellion succeed 7 Simply be
cause the Catholic clergy, omnipotent in Ire
bust, would not countenance the in ovement.
Therefore the gallant men tt ho at last did arise
against the 13rttidt Government were literally
officers without an mink, and Melt defeat
might hato been looked for from the firs:.
They were more daring than wise, and that is
the worst thing that Censure, or even Malice,
can tnrly say against them. They were gall
loot gentlemen, and conducted themselves as
such from iirst to NO.
At this moment stronger, it Catholit ho

hate of English rule is Cie desire have the

is not a true sett of thti Church, inasmuch as
he appears. decided. in his intention of sub
jecting the' States of the Church to the in
fluence of organic relimus in the temporal
government of the Papacy.
NumerouS piddle meeting:l hare lately been
held throughout heland, to consider the Itect
means of helping Pius IX In his prewnt and
threatened difficulties. At one of these
gatherings, at Drogheda, Dr. Moriarty, Catho
lic Bishop of Kerry—a prehto of character,
influence, and ability—spoke as follows:
" 'cannot speak for the Popo or fur any mem
ber of the Moan ()decrement; bet beyond that
circle there is only 0110 opinion in Rome. that Ye
polcon is responsible for the elate of Italy tmday,
that every injury done to the Pope is ascribable to
him. It remains for him now i 0 retirees ell thin.
We shall leave him now to the hopes of his friends,
and to the fears of those who distrust him. If he
shall in the Congress make reparation for what has
boon done we shalt applaud him; but If, on the
contrary, he shall rise from the Congress after put
ting the coal of that Maly to a robbery the most
eaerilegious and atroolotts history will have to rel
cord—the alienation of the Romagna from the l'a•
pal throne—it duos nut require the spirit of pro ,
phocy, but only aglance of the past, to say that
/fern that slay it trill be seen the star of Napoleon,
ts ,nto loupe, Ist the asstatlaut. It wilt be seen
that the meridian of his reign in past—that he is a
falling man. It will not be immediately, but on
the first occasion that he shall attempt to play the
great Emperor his position will be manifested.
There will be no more Solferinos or Magentas—it
will be either a Watertoo or a prelude to it. Ile
will not require to see the mysterious writing on
the wall to know that he: is seCttthed In the halutien
and found wanti7q—tliat los empire, if' not di
vide;t, toll be hitt,. frObi , Ist 111, end be given to
the Bourbons and Orleenists, who have fo r g o tten
their differences now while waiting for the rever
sion of his kingdom."
At Killarney, in his own diocese, where lie
addressed his °tin people, Bishop 3lotiarty
was yet more emphatic. Ile said thetre was
reason to believe that the Congress of facia
would meet in a spit it hostile to the Pope,
, f it is till, thin" said lie, ''to repeat the
famous expression of Bonaparte in olio of his
lucid intervals, when ills plenipotentiary, Can
lainewn t, asked him how he should deal with
rim VIE, Treat that old wan,' said he, ray
if Ito had 200,000,000 soldiers lit his back.'
Yes, my friends, the Catholic Church sill
prove to the Congress at Paris that weak an
the old 'num who sit a in the Valicnu may be,
Sloan as may be his territory, scanty his ex
chequer, yet that he has more real power than
all the sovereigns of Europe together; and that
they must deal with him its cautiously as if he
had a million soldiers et Itis back." He added,
" Lord Palmerston, who, no doubt, guided the
plenipotentiaries of England, is reported to have
said that sots of tyranny wet° done by those who
govern in the name of his Holiness, and that Remo
was never better governed than in the absence of
the Pope. These sentiments will most probably

ho may bo, ot the neat Corgre.a ; end the spirit of

After alluding to the excesses committed at
Route, in 1818, which ho had witnessed, the
Bishop concluded thus :
"Notwithstanding thrm eicessen, I wish to BCC

Pike the Ninth will load the way, as lie did before,

ybu will have the Italian people free, happy, and

We do not quite share the opinion that Pius
tko Ninth will again lead the itay`ln the path
of liberal and enlightened reform. But We de
sire to draw attention to the strong manner in
which Bishop Moriarty denounces Napoleon
ai the enemy of his Church, and the iudigna
aon with which he repels the idea that Ireland
was to look to such it man as a deliverer. We
believe that the Bishop is not alone in these
opinions, whieli are held by the Catholic
hierarchy and clergy of Ireland. Dual to the
authority of Rome, the Irish clergy are eager
in their desire to see the Pope undisturbed in
the exercise , of his temporal as well as his
spiritual rule in the Eternal City. What the
Catholic clergy of Ireland say and do in this
cause, their docks will say arid do likewise.
• Therefore, Napoleon the Third need not

lics, into are the great majority of the Irish
pbople. The priests are against him, and no
national moVetnent in Ireland can succeed

taking an observation of the sun; after winch
they both descended to calculate their day's work.
The cabin, a small one, was immediately at the
stern of the vessel, and the short stairway descend
ing to It ran athwart-ships. Immediately opposite
to this stairway, just beyond a small square land
ing, was the mate's state-room; and from that
landing there were two doors, close to each other,
the ono opening aft Into the cabin, the other, front
ing the stairway, Into the state-room. The desk In
the state-room was In the forward part of it, close
to the door; so that and one :tilting at It and look.
lag over his shoulder could see into the cabin.
The mate, absorbed in his calculations, which did
not rteult as he had expected, varying considerably
trim the dead. reckoning, had not noticed the cap•

Receiving no reply, lie repeato,l his question,
glancing over his shoulder and perceiving, as ho
thought, the captain busy writing on his slate.
Still no answer. Thereupon he rose, and, as ho
fronted the cabin-door, the figure he bad mistaken
for the captuitt raised his head and disclosed to
the astonished mate the features of an entire
stranger. •
Bruce was no coward ; but, as s ho met that fixed

become acsured that it was no ono whom he had
ever seen before, It was too much for him ; end. in
stead of stopping to question the rooming Intruder,
he rushed upon deck in such evident alarm that it
instantly attracted the captain's attention. "Why,
Mr. Bruce," said the latter, •' what in the world is
the matter with sou?"

" Come, come, man. Go down at otice; aIM den's

"I hope you've always found me willing to do

" but if it's all the rams to you. sir, I'd rather we

The captain descended the stale, end the mate

"Ah ! writing on the slate f Then It should be

The passenger, evidently puzzled to make out

with a smile. The captain took up the elate and
examined it closely; then, stepping a3ide so no to
conceal the slate from the passenger, he turned it
over, and gave it to him again with the other side

TWO CENTS.
The above narrative was communicated to me by
Captain J. 8. Clarke, of the schooner Julia Mal
lock,* whetted It directly from Mr. Brace himself.
They sailed together for seventeen months, in the
years 1833 and '37; so that Captain Clarke had the
story from the mate about eight years after the oc
currence. lie has since lost sight of hint, and does
not know whether he is yet alive. AU he bee heard
of him since they were shipmates is, that be con
tinned to trade to New Brunswick, that he became
the master of the brig Comet, and that she was
lost.
.I. naked Captain Clarke if he knew Bruce well
and what sort of a man he was?
" As truthful and straightforward a man," he
replied, "as ever I met in all my life. We were
as intimate as brothers; and two men can't be to
gether, abut up for seventeen months in the serve
ship, wi th out getting to know whether they can
trust one anotber's word or not. He always spoke
or the oircumstanoes in terms of reverence, es of
an incident that seemed to bring him nearer to
God and to another world. I'd stake my life upon
it that be told me no lie
i fhia is certainly a story to delight the believers
in spirits.
Another narrative, no toss startling and quite as
well authenticated, occurs in Book V, under the
head of Indications of Personal Interference." It
i# entitled, How Senator Liritt's Life was saved."
But we must refer the curious reader to the book
itself.
nook VT treats of " The Change at Death."
The author discusses this profoundly interesting
subject in a manner worthy of Its solemnity and
importance, and be arrives at a conclusion not es
sentially different from that of Issue 'Taylor, in
the "physicist Theory of Another Life.". lie
holds that death neither destroys the identity nor
alters the character of him who undergoes it; bat
that, in accordance with the belief of the early
Christians, the soul passes * into an intermediate
state—Dada—of conscious 'activity. In tlaiS
chapter there are some eloquent and elevating pas
sages, which we would like to quote if apace per
mitted.
Enough has been said to call attention to a
sterling book—ono of the few on this subject which
are worthy of perusal. The author brings to the
discussion of a fascinating, bat dangerous and
delicate, topic a profound respect for Revealed
Truth, a cultivated and well-balanced mind, and
a thorough acquaintance with the literature of the
Subject, both English and Continental; and it,
after spending ten of the hest years of his life in
slaying it in all its bearings, he leans to the con
clusion of the rsalitj• of occasional extra-mundane
Interferences, at least the work of such a man de
serves respect. If not convincing, it is certainly
entertaining.

THE PRESIDENT ON roe DIM SCOTT DECISION
—Mr. Iluohatian seems to have full faith in the
old saying that if you boldly assert a thing, and
persistently stick to It, the world will come in
time to holier° it: Thus, thrco pare after the
Scott decision, he refers to a point therein,
alleged to be determined, as follows :
The right kaa been establiche.l of every citizen to
tnke hlx property of any kind, including ekriee, into
two Common Torritone• bolorming eortafty to all the
&Brea Of the Confederacy. and to have it protected
there under ttM reifernt Constitution. Neither Con
green, nor a Tornio:tot Logoilature, nor any bunion
power, hoe any authority to 115 . 1101 or impair thus vested
nett."
New, the ablest lawyers in the counlfy declare
th,ot no such point as this was decided by the
Su
pretne Court in the case of Dred Scott. Reverdy
Johnson, late Attorney General of the United
iltatee, who argued the case against Dred Scott in
the Sitprettte Court, and whose brief, as to the con•
etitutional points, the court followed in rendering
its decision, smarts that the court decided no euch
thing as that defined by ;Mr. Buchanan. The much
admired review of the decision which appeared in
the Low Iterdeter, in June, 1857, shows by full and
conclusive citations that this was not among
the points judicially decided, and Could not
have been, owing to the way id whkh the
case cetel, before the court. The same pori•
