FOREIGNERS EXULTING

The Paris correspondent Of the NJ Y. Com.
mcrcial Adrertiser, writes, Dec. 80:
Letters from London published in Paris,
and letters from Paris published in London,
speak of the absolute delight in the CONNER.
cial and political circles Of the two cities at
the prospect Of dissolution of the Union, but
the newspapers in their editorials do not mani.
fest their JOY so openly. With one exception,
the Paris journals condemn the message Of
President Buchanan, and take the side Of the
North in the pending conflict
ain France, the opinion that republican
form of government was not exactly the best,
had gained immensely within the last ten years,
on account of the failure of the republic in
ls4S and the success of the strong govern.
ment of to-day. The American failure will
give the coup de grace to this revolution in
public opinion, and the general cause of repub.
licanism and free institutions be put back for
centuries. For, with such elements of sue.
cess as those of the United States, it will be
useless for others to try, if they fail"

ing that the question has been settled, and ad.
vocating, in accordance with the report, the
admission of New Mexico as State in the
Union. This, he contended, wouldremove the
frebrand. ..N
Mr.. Millsou, of Virginia, argued that the
territorial question was already settled by the
Constitution and law Of the land, and the de.
cision Of the Supreme Court, and settled in
favor of the South. NeitherSthe election Of
Lincoln nor the personal liberty bills justified
disunion. He thought South Carolina was rash,
but at the same time Congress has nothing to
do with her. The question should be consid.
cred bya Convention of equal States. He would
not, therefore, use coercion. In conclusion, he
gave the reasons why he would not consent to
the admission of New Mexico as State. Apart
from political views, she had not the capacity
for such condition. His speech was concil
iatory, and delivered, he said, as State rights
man. In conclusion, he expressed the hope
that peace may so n be restored, and that the
seeding States may reoccupy their places in
the Union.

was announced by the New York Tribune, some

From perusal of Mr.. Scott's letter, we are

is much better than his chance of getting into

He goes, point blank, for secession and revo-
