Richmond, March 23.—“The Paris
correspondent of the New York Times,
of tho 3rd, says : The rebel diplomatic
council, which has been sitting here,
for some days, at the Grand Hotel,
broke up, yesterday. The Lonaou
Index, the mouth*piece of this coun
cil, at tho Grand Hotel, declares there
is no doubt, from the, proceedings of
the council, that negotiations are. now
going on, between the European gov
ernments, which will give quite a new
turn to affairs in America; and this
statement was printed in the rebel or
gan, this morning, and by the Moni-
tour. A member of tho council has
been heard to assert, that there would
be peace, between the north and south,
on the basis of separation, by the 1st
of May.
Tho same correspondent says: We
havo unmistakable evidence that at
no time, since the commencement of
the war., has there been so little like
lihood of the recognition of the con
federacy, as now.”
Gov. Brown’s Message.—Were
wo to use much space in commenting,
at length, upon this miserable villain
ous effort of Gov. Brown to still di
vide our people, and overthrow our
government, we could not put up an
apology, that ought to be accepted by
our readers. A wolf, in sheep’s cloth
ing, is trying to sell our liberty, for
personal ends : and the Georgia legis
lature, since cotton cards are not so
plentiful, have had the patriotism to
virtually declare lnm the wolt that
would devour the innocent and unsus
pecting lambs. Brown should be
avoided by all good men, as they
would avoid disloyalty to their coun
try, or resent an insult offered then-
wives aud daughters. He who at
tempts to divide, seeks to destroy us—
nothing less—and all such persons
should either be suspended, or banish
ed from under the southern sky.—-

The Spirit says tho pins are equal to
