rNaholcon's 0hinion of the Poles.-Th late Emperor of the French was an acute ot- server of mankind; and perhaps no one pos sessed better opportunities of forming col rect opinion of the Poles. In O'MEARAs work, ".E Vo'ce from g. Helena," vol. 1, P 123, we find the following tribute from NAPo- LEON to their military character:

 "I made q few remarks upon the Polei who had served in his army, who observed were greatly attached to his person. 'Ah, replied the emperor, "they were attached to me-Most of my old Polish Guard are now employed through policy by Alexander They are a brave nation, and make good sol diers. In the cold, which p, ,evails in the northern countries, the Pole is better than the Frcnchman. The commandant of Dnnt- zic informed me, that during the severity of the winter, when the thermometer sunk l8', it was impossible to make the French sodiers keep their posts as sentinels while the Poles suffered nothing" Ponatowsky," contln- ned he, H twas noble character, full of honor and bravery-it was my intention to have made him King of Poland, had succeeded in Russia"
