The following couimuuiiwtioua, winch relate
to the rectml visit of thr French Minister at
Washington to Kichinoid, we find in our lute
Rtehiiioud exchanges Intimations are very
clearly given therein, that the object of this
visit has some connection with a prospective
recognition of ou; independence by France,
and treulioa growing out of that fact. We
have no faith in any suili rasu/t, and we waru
tut* people again*! placing airy reliance upon
tins oft broken reed. decreed that
tlia independence of the Gonfederate Slates
iiust bo by joree of Sou'iiern valor and South
ern arms, and whutevir may relux our aiteii

bly bnug disaster. Our proposition should be
that Which we ha/o reiterated time aud again
to every foreign power; that, if she will break
the chain bloclado which she bus so long at
lowed to ruin ji®f commerce and interests,she
can tnule with us on the most equitable terms
of absolute “fiee trade.” No further interfer

Vor the Equirer.
URGENT.
There are in tue Confederacy one thousand
French people, liyal subjects of tne Emperor
Napoleon, who wo not American citizens. —
The Emperor, in his good will towards the
South, sent hi* Minister here to look for the
iiileicste t tliesa subjects. At this critical
moment I would to have a prolongation
of the Congress Unli’ the departure of Count
Mclcier. Some of his proposal*, perhaps,
ntaji require to l> treated by Congress in *e
cretsesbiou. Wc ure not Chinese nor Japan
i se. We know full well the laws of civilized
natioks, and surely we will not act towards
lVanas the pirate Wilkes did towards the
Royal Mail steamer Trent. Congress cannot
be adjourned nt this moment. I know there
are proposals of magnitude which require the
concurrence of the Congress.
The Minister of the French Emperor is
charged iih an important mission to Presi
dent Jeilerym Davis to offer some kind of me
diation bet ween the belligerent*—to give some
friendly adVi\e for some sort of settlement l>e
tween the North and South, perhaps not for
our own good exclusively, but tbe immediate
relief of millions of French people. If Congress
adjourn next week our best hopes are vanish
ed. There are, I know, some secret points in
the mission winch cannot he decided without
the concurrence of Congress. The Emperor,
to my private knowledge, ia disposed to have
the American question setiled. Now or nev-
Tliis grand step of the Emperor to send his
Minister to us iu very significant Can South
••rn patriots, in Congress go home now i The
proposals of Count Mereier cannot be accept
ed or rejeteed but by consent of Congress The
members of Congress must, therefore, be at
their pouts.
The premeditated insult of the Examiner,
on the Minister of the Emperor, will no doubt,
produce n very bad effect in France. Let ed
llors of sound, good iudmenl correct the myd
trio'mil. “If you wish to be loved, you must
love,” is an old French proverb.
AN OLD FRIEND.
For the Richmond Diepnteh.
Count Mereier has opened negotiations with
llie Kecrerary of Slate, and Congress have de
termiued to remain at their post during the
important mission of the Mini-terof the Em
peror. Any kind of arrangement will be made
with llie President of the Confederacy, mid
this is a perfect acknowledgement by France
of our independence from the old United Ntuies
l am happy that my article in the Enquirer of
yesterday, has produced the desired effect to
prolong thu Congress while negotiations with
Count Mereier are going oil.

The progress of our army in Alabamn is most

to announee the occupation of Huntsville by
Gen. Mitobe l. To-day we can report a most

Huntsville by railroad. On* under Col. Bill o
33d Ohio, went east to Stevenson, the juuetion
of the Chattanooga with th* Memphis and
Charleston Railroad, at which point they seised
2,000 of the enemy and returning without firing
a shot. Col. Siii captured 6 locomotives and a
large amount of rolling stock. The other expe
dition under Col. Turchiu of the IDih Illinois,
went west and arrived at Decatur in time to
save the railroad bridge, which was then in
flames.
Gen Mitchell now holds 100 miles of tbe
Memphis and Charleston Road, thus securing
our position at Huntsville, aud its vicinity.

of a terrible army of rebels well entrenched,

obtained their information that that would be

In another article on the recent ua al scenes

“Nor does the criminality of ihe Naval De

More than this, the Navy Department is re
sponsible for all the losa of tune and life now
required to capture Yorktown and Noifolk,
nincr the intuition of the rebels to fortify and
defend these places even at the cost of evacu

Tint Linr Polk.— We heard yesterday from
tbe Lady Polk, Capt. Carter commanding, and
are glad to learn that tbe damage done to her
cabin and upper works by the enemy'* battery i*
very trifling. The Lady Polk ran over a doses
times the gauntlet of tbe Federal batteries above
and below Point Pleaiant, an*> although struck
frequently, ha* sustained no injury of any im
portance. What balls struck her iron covering
glanced off, and she ia now in as fin* trim as
ever. At one time she came to close q iaiters
wilh a Federal battery opposite Tiptonvill*, aod
silenced it, and would have captured it, had >b*
not been recalled by order of the cominandiuf
commodore, At another time she came very
near capturing ou* of their transports. Usr
officers feel eoufldent of doing their part of tbe
work in keeping the enemy’s gunboats off tbe
river, and their confidence is not s vain one,
after tbe expedience the boat has had in her

We have before us this journal of the 17th ic
n ant. Its publication was not suspended when
tbe Federals took pusee>aion ot Nusbville. Iu
the issue now before us, the editor says be con
tinued its publication, believing it to be bis
duty to give tbe citizens of Nashville such in
formation as ht could o tain. He had endeav
oredto conduct it so as m>t to bring it under t> e
condemnation of the goverum* nt, and hud as
numedno posi'ion on governmental tuatier* which
might place its editor lu a false position.
In tbe-e efforts tbe editor bad been un‘u<*osi>-
ful. His assistant was arrested a> and sent to
jail on aturduy night tbe X2(b Inst.; aud on the
next day Andy Johnson in ormed the editor tbat
‘he “tone” of the paper was luimioal to ibe gov
ernment ot tbe I uited Htuter , ibst its aebeied
articles from Northern and Kugiitb journals were
calculated to bolster up the rebellion, tbe publi
cation of which could not be allowed.
Tbe editor eeys be eaunot see how tbe publica
tion of such uews as be iinde in its exchanges,
which are exclusively Nortberu journals, can be
in any wiae a damage to the government; and
since be is denied this boon of remaining quiet,
#nd publishing only such news as he finds m ho
Yankee jouruels, he announces his determine ion
to suspeud tbe issue of tbe “ Banner” ur e
present.
This is a ipecimss of tbe boasted liberty uo
Press, which the Yankee! at always harping ott.
