The Gront TopIc In ParIs.

=
"Malakoff," the Paris correspondent Of the
New York Times, writes under date of De.
cember 8:
should say that in France people gener-
ally are firmly convinced that the English
desire fight, or, at least will not yield one
inch Of the position they have tsken 70
evade fight; and they base their belief on
the assumption that England really desires
TO weaken the Republic by breaking it up.
On the other hand, should mention that l
have Just seen a letter from an English gem
temau, in a position to know the motives OF
the English government in their present ac-
tiou, who says that the government does not
desire war, il they can eyade it honorably:
Yet repeat, that the conviction is profound
in France that England is bent upon a weak
ening of the Republic, and will gladly seize
upon any plan, even war, to accomplish
this object.
Up to the present moment we have not
been able TO obtain any indication of the dis
position of the Emperor in the present ques-
tion, and nothing further of that OF the
Cabinet than.is foreshadowed in such of the
French papers as are supposed to represent
the views of individual members of the Cab
met. A consultation took place yesterday
between Mr.. Dayton, General Scott, Mr..
John Bigelow, Mr.. Thurlow Weed and Arch
with the Emperor. This interview will un-
doubtedly take place, and will be attended
with important results.
In regard to the attitude of the French
press, it may be summed up in one word
hostility. The Moniteur guards the same
| imperturbable neutrality on the question
which signslized to you in my last letter.
This paper states, however, that the English
law officers place their demand upon the
American Government upon ground which
| will admit of settlement-lhat is to say,
the complaint is laid more in the form of the
act than in the law. If, according to the
official journal, the English Government ad
mits that the Trent should have been carried
| into an American port and judged by Ma
ritme Court ss to whether she was carrying
| objects contraband of war or not, then the
| question is clearly susceptible of sdjudica
ton without a resort to arms. fy
| ! ought to mention that Spanish gentle
man, who wes passenger on the Trent, anC
| is row in Paris. declares to every body that
the English accounts of the manner of th
arrest of Messrs. Slidell and Mason ar
grossly exaggerated. The conduct of Lieu
tenant Fairfax and his men, on the contrary
was in every way polite and proper. Th
gentleman has made this declaration to th
American Ministerial Paris.

WAR WITH ENGLASl-Dr. Haven, of III.
on'S Herald, thus concludes an editorial:
The dictate Of common sense would be,
let the question whether it was right for the
United States to seize Mason and Slidell be
submitted 10 arbitration before an impartial
and competent tribunal, and let both parties
abide by the decision, and let that decision
be the law for both nationslever hereafter.
II England does not want TO favor slavery,
Ahis course would be easy. If she does, let
it be left to the stern arbitrameut of war.

The difficulty OF providing forage for so
large an army as that of the Potomac, is
said to be increasing daily, Notwithstanding
the immense stores at Washington. The
whole country this side of Fairfax Court
house, says Washington letter in the New
York Exprsss, has been nearly exhausted
already, in addition TO the enormous sup
plies furnished by The Quartermaster- General
from the North. Still the cry is ''for more"
How will it be, then, when the army is ad-
vanced twenty miles further into the bowels
of Virginia, where the Confederates have
already cropped every kind of herbage 80

Things must be coming right at Washing

several Republican Senators and Representa-

extreme measures have determined to count
themselves out of that programme, and it is
over this that the howl has broken out. The
news is magnificent, if the same can not be
said of the music.-LouisUiLl Democrat.
