LATKR PROM KIROPK~RI'NORg OV
RICOOBITIOI BY FRANCK
Through the Northern paper* we hare late
advices irora Europe.
The moat interesting feature of the intelli
pence from Europe ie a rumor to the effect
tuat France hae decided upon an early re
cognition of th- Confederate St .tea, and i*
now conferring with the Briliah Government
•on that step, with a riew of aecuring, if pos
sible, England's alliance in the matter.
Whether thi« rumor i* worth anything, or ia
but a repetiti a of what wa bare beard for
ererj sii'y and ya alnce the war began, is ■ a
prob.em for the reader to aolve for himself.
The atory seem* to bare originated in thia
wise: On the arriral of the laat steamer
from Airope, a bearer of dispatcher fr in Mr.
Dayton, the United States Minister to France,
p »ceeded immediately to Washington, taking
the rery mrlieat train after hit landing. The
aaid bearer oi dispatches ia said to h.ve been
quite communicative of the rnitur-r of the
communication* be bore, and -tepresen ed
them at announcing to the Government at
Wash ngton the early pu p se of France to
recognise the Confederate State*.
The Emperor bad Intimatod to Ur. Dayton
that, aftor waiting long and patiently, lie
could see no satisfactory eridenceof the abil
ity of the Federal Government to put down
the rebellion and restore tb* Union : and tb*
interests of Frau :e continue# KTsuffcr severe
ly from the blockade and tb* coesrqueot eui
pension of commercial intercourse with the
South; that the forbearance of the French
Government in that particular bad been met
with only hostile c iticiam of tb* Emperor'e
Meiican policy by the Northern journals;
that the notes which the minister of Foreign
Affaire ha I recently received through the
United States Minister, in relation to the
Confederate steamer* Florida and. Oeorgia
were discourteous and dictatorial in tone: and,
finally, that it was due to the cause’ of hu
manity that something should be done by
some power like France, not unfriendly to
either belligerent, with a view of terminating
civil war which has raged • long without any
definite results. Upon this intimation from
the Emperor, Mr Dayton d-spatebed a mes
senger to his Uoverment at Washington.
'I ina ia the alory. Whether, true or not, it
reem* to have exc ted.cousidnrable feeling in
the North. The su'taiauc- n tb • above *p
peir* in a New Yo-k paper, as a dispatch,
double leaded,/runs W tahiagtoo, and la fol
lowed up by the eu.iortal declaration, "on the
.very beat authoritythat the relviou* be
■ tween the Coiled Sa.ee Guvr.rnniejt and
France are in u very critical condition. The
story moreover aitau n-*i ao air oi prob*-.ili»y.
from the tact that the Paris cirre-ponrietn
of the I. md in I*os! writes t» the same rff-nr,
and th« story u! nfMmltion seems to have
been received both in Paris and London with
m ir« confidence ih to ever.
The B-puh'ican pipers (it the North treat
the ru>n >r w to levity, an t siy there is no
truth in it. A dispatch from Washington, as it
speak ng hy ofQ ia! aiilhorit/. discredits the
whole thing, uo 1 says that it Is but a m -re
trick of "oitott speculators; tost “ibe relations
<*l the Utiled »ttt-s with both France and
E glmd are peaseful aid harmonious, and
will be msinlain'd as sue it with both powers,
CerUlnlv with Engl tud.”
The North counts with certainty in the
case of England, and aa an evidence of tb*
good feeling co her part, at least, points to
the vole in the House of Parliament on the
motion for the production of certain papers
concerning tb* seizure "of the steam rams.—
This, the North regards, was a test question
of the feeling and action, of the British Gov
ernment, and was decided with the following
result: for the nntioo, one hundred and fifty
three, and against it one hundred and seven
ty-eight. This vote, tb* North urges, settlea
the ram questioa in the British Parliament,
and adjusts a ma ter which c >uld form “ tha
only point of dispute whieh could possibly
interrupt the present peaceful relatione be
tween England aod the United States.
Affairs remain in Schleswig unchanged.—
Denmark has accepted the proposition for a
conference, but it was considered doubtful
whether peaceable results would eu ue. The
British channel squadron had been ordered
to the B iltic in order to prepare for probable
eveatuntties. The lone of the British papers
are warlike. . Lord Palmerston had deelaied
peace a rent >te contingency and war as cer
tain between the present belligerents.
