[for the Richmond Dispatch.]
Count Mercier
Has opened negotiations with the
Secretary of State, and Congress have determined to remain at their post during the important mission of the
Minister of the
Emperor.
Any kind of arrangement will be made with the
President of the
Confederacy, and this is a perfect acknowledgment by
France of our independence from the old
United States.
I am happy that my article in the
Enquirer of yesterday has produced the desired effect to prolong the
Congress while negotiations with
Count Mercier are going on.
Dr. Lemoine.
