tor, and this, too, when there are many ministers standing idle in the market place unwilling to accept and labor in any of these parishes, but waiting for parishes in the city, or in the large towns of the West. This savors more of attachment to the kingdom of this world than devotion to the Kingdom of God. Rare birds are our city fathers. During a discussion last night, in special session, upon making an appropriation to defray the expenses of celebrating Washington's birthday, Alderman Dayton called Alderman Genet a sympathiser with Beauregard, Davis and Toomb. Genet thereupon intimated to the party of the first part that if he repeated that allegation he would knock him down.--Other blanken of a like characteristic description followed, and the Chamber, for a while, more resembled a dog kennel than a deliberative assembly.

The whole population suffers the greatest privations without complaint. Every necessary of life, is heavily taxed — bread, meat, salt, vegetables-- still the people struck him as unaware of this state of things, and seem to conform cheerfully to their new position. The repeated representations made to Louis Napoleon by Mr. Dayton, that the inland trade would be open as soon as the harbors would be in possession of the national Government, had induced the French Emperor to verify the truth of his statements, which the private reports of the French Consuls in the Southern ports flatly contradicted. In consequence, he sent Mr. Mercler to ascertain which, of the American or French representative's report, was the correct one. Mr. Mercier had several conversations with the representatives of the Confederate States

t it amounted to nothing at all, suggests that there was, after all, something achieved by it. The N. Y. Times confesses that the London Times is correct when it states that the Count failed to find anything to verify the statement made by Mr. Dayton, Federal Minister to France, that the latent Union sentiment of the South would gladly avail itself of the opening of the ports by the North to hasten forward ample supplies of tobacco, cotton, and sugar. The New York Times admits that Count Mercier not only failed to confirm the idea of Mr. Dayton, "but that he became satisfied that the insurgents would exhaust every effort before submitting to National authority."--Admitting this with reference to the impressions derived by the French Minister from his visit here — impressions which are strengthened by every day's history of the war — the Timesproceeds to unfold its own theory of the condition of English and French policy with reference to the war.

diation to England and Russia in our affairs. He says: If I am well informed, the State Department has received at different times, through the agency of Mr. Dayton, an account of the dispositions of the French Government in reference to our affairs, which could not leave any doubt as to the ultimate design of the Emperor. I am much mistaken if there is not now on file in the archives a report of Mr. Dayton, of April last, giving the details of a conversation he had with the Emperor of France, in which it is stated that "although his Majesty expressed the most sincere desire for the restoration of the Union, he nevertheless hinted that, if at the eve advantages, he would be put to the necessity of yielding to the repeated demands of the Confederates, and to receive Mr. Slidell." At the same time he warned Mr. Dayton that, should he be compelled to receive him, the North ought to see in this step a determination on the part of France to inaugurate a new policy with the Unite

ervention, and that England sympathised with nations struggling for freedom. He also said that the Government was right in the opinion that the proposal of France for mediation was fropportune, and that if the English Government had accepted that offer at an importune moment, then, when an opportunity arrived, it would have been lost. The Paris correspondent of the London Post, under date of the 22d, says: "It is reported that the Emperor has assured the Cabinet at Washington through Mr. Dayton, that France came forward not to favor the North or the South, but in the name of humanity, and for the good of both parties." He says that the Government of France and England continue to be united in their policy towards America and that policy now, as of old, was strict centrality.

Foreign Office from the representative of the South. I presume something similar has taken place between Mr. at and her Britannic Majesty's Government. A it was, I presume, from Southern representations that the Emperor ordered of Drouyned L'Hays to draw up a dispatch, which England and Russia were asked to subscribe to suggesting a suspension of hostilities. This the French Government did not consider interfering, and I believe that the Emperor let it be known at Washington, through Mr. Dayton, that France came forward, not to favor either one or other of the belligerents that in the name of humanity and for the good of both--The Emperor and France have fled, at all events a inspiration. Those who know the character of the American people had little hope of France succeeding but it is to blame the Emperor and his Government for such generated munitions.

it is worthy of remark that in the rebel Congress, on Monday, a resolution was introduced eulogizing France "for her endeavors to induce European intervention."--And when we cast a glance at the other side of the Atlantic, we find that the relations of Mr. Slidell with Napoleon and his ministers are far more cordial than is consistent with strict neutrality, much less with the warm professions of friendship for the United States which he has constantly made. The greeting of the Emperor to Mr. Dayton on New Year's day was, to say the least, decidedly cold, if it was not a place of bitter Irony, under the circumstances. Here, then, is abundant food for the calm reflection of Mr. Lincoln. The earnest determination of the South must be met by a corresponding determination on his part, and on the part of the people of the loyal States; otherwise the Union is irretrievably lost. The same unity of purpose and of action must be developed at the North as at the South. The rebels are te

ossibly Mr. Seward may be one. But, before we put implicit faith in them we should like some explanation of one or two past transactions in this department. On the 9th of November M. Drouyn de L'Huys, the French Foreign Secretary, assured Mr. Dayton, in the most client and explicit terms that the French Government had done nothing about intervention or mediation — that it had not even resolved on anything in connection with the subject; which his letter proposing mediation to England and had been written and sent a before, What was the object of this direct and unremarkable falsehood? After that project had failed, the French Secretary assured Mr. Dayton, and through him our Government, that the matter would not be pursued — that there was no intention of following it up — that France had nothing more to say or suggest upon the subject. On the very 9th of January the Emperor's advice to our Government to confer with the rebels upon the terms of reunion or of separation. Al<
