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.
