1t is stated that the Chambers of Commerce
OF Lyons, Rouen, Mulhouse and other manu-.
iacturing places in France, the trade of which
with the United States has been prostrated by
the civil war, have addressed memorials to the
imperial government urging an immediate rec.
ognition of the Confederate States, and the rails
ing OF the blockade.
From the London News, tCity ArticIc) Oct l2
Some of the accounts from trustworthy quar-.
ters in Paris express a confident belief that the
Emperor of ;he French contempla es recogniz.
ing the Confederate States OF the South. His
object it is affirmed, will be to release the cot
ton, the want Of which is severely felt in the
cotton manufacturing districts in France.
EFFECT OF THE RUMoR IN COMMERCIAL CIRCLES
sa5g IN ENGLAND.
From the London Shipping Gazette, October u
| The Chambers Of Commerce Of Lyons, Rouen
MuIlhorse and other places in France, have, it
appears, addressed memorials to the French
Government praying for the immediate recog-
milton Of the Confederate States and the raising
of the blockade. So far then, it would seem
the course pursued by the Confederates with re.
gard to their cotton Is producing the desired
effect. The most sagacious politicians in Europe
and indeed in America, are beginning now to
regard the reconstruction of the Union as all
but hopeless and to look forward to The estab.
lishlnent Of two, il not more, considerations on
t 6 North American continent. 1t Is under
these circumstances that an ppcal is made by
the suffering manufacturers Of France to their
government to recognize tie Southern States as
an independent confederation, and to raise he
blockade. We know not what view the French
tol- ooff of a.
menorialists, but we would imagine that France
will take no step in this American business ex
cept in conjunction with England Tne aues =
ZION. then, is: Would Her Maiesty's Govern.
nent consider themselves justified IN gong to
war with the Federal Government (tor that is
the meaning Of England's raising the blockadel
in order to liberate the cotton and to avert the
state ofthings with which we are threatened in
the approaching winter and spring? The al
ternatve Of war, or distress and disturbance in
the manufacturing districts, isnot an agreeable
one, but we fear Il ts oneWhich is being rapidly
forced on Tie consiteratonof the GyUeinnaent
1t might be, however that the cooperation
Of France and England, eV.n If carried the
length OF raising the blockade, would not result
in hostilities. The small fleet at the disposal
OF the Federal Government would not be able
for single week to cope with the combined
forces Of England and France. The contest
would be so.obviously hopeless that it is DOUBT
tul whether it would be entered upon by the
Northern States. There might be danger to us
en- the side OF Canada, but alter all. the Cana
dians themselves would hardly snbmt to for
chile annex stion.by the Fe leral forces Mean.
while the recognition ofthe Confederate States
by France and England would carry with it an
amount of weight and moral influence which
would set up the Southern Confederation con-
clusiyely. 1t seems likely, then, that ifhe
ratsiag Of The b'eEade be se'iously contemplated,
! it must be by a nnion Of the Feaca and EnqEsh
forces,and ,oh the reso'ue Of Tie t,Oo go0e, nments
10 stand BY each otAe, in any intervention in the
affairs Of the American States.
