PARIS, June Is, 1861.-I had, last evening
conversation with Mr. w. L. Yancey, CHIEF
OF the southern mission to Europe. Mr. yam.

None Of the ENJOYS have succeeded in reach

to the best account his perfect familiarity with
the French language, whilst no member of the
United States legation can speak that tongue.
In my conversation with Mr.. Yancey, that
gentleman expressed his views unrestrainedly.

government would wait until the last bale had
been reached before determining upon the
means OF continuing the supply. If the block

the new crop should be ready for shipment

cruisers, when it should be found that rigor

Cered by the confederate government. The
stories of southern famine, circulated in the
north, were utterly false The season has
thus far been most favorable, and though the
cotton crop might fall $50, 900 bales below that
OF last year, the decrease would be solely ow-
ing to the fact that cereals had been sown in
much larger proportions than usual
Mr.. lancey had information that the cotton
crop would amount to three and half millions
OF bales, at the lowest estimate The efforts
OF British manufacturers TO procure cotton
from India, Africa, &C., though they might
succeed at some future period, were now fruit
less ana Europe must, for years to come, re-
main dependent, for its principal supply, upon
the southern states. Under no circumstances
could the culture OF the plant be carried on SO
iavoraDly as In the slave states. The labor is
cheap and regular. English operatives may
strike Tor higher wages and expose their en-
ployers to great loss but the injury done is
never irremediable. The LOOMS after stop.

could initiate the example of free laborers one

the entire crop. In the cotton field, therefore,
none but compulsory labor was possible, and
even English aboitionists now commence to
comprehend the fact

reasonable concessions being made by the free
states, the recalctrant members Of the Union
would not return to that glorious flag which
had Tor eighty years been growing in the re-

had himself been advocating secession during

AS long as the plain provisions of the con.
siitution had been unwillingly respected by the
northern majority, the people of the south had
endeavored to remain c2ntentedly in the
Union; but when it was proclaimed that there
was higher law than that constitution, and
when president was elected upon a sectional
platform, the patience of the south gave way.
Nothing but the force of arms could Low
bring back the southern states into the Union,
and nothing but a military subjection could
maintain them there. They would prefer any
yoke to that of the north. Rather than again
JOIN the free states, they would gladly become
colony OF France or England. AT the same
time, they would neither ask nor accept the
assistance OF any foreign power. They were
hghllng Tor tleir rights, their liberties, and
their hresldes, and they relied on God and
thelr right arms. On the other hand, if the
nortn would consent to a separation there was

suggested that the north wished to know
why the cotton states had set the example of
secession. II the slave states had been mate

suffered loss. Mr.. Yancey said that the worst
tyrants always asked that question. Even

me to understand how slavery could be pro-
