ponicut Of tue Newark Duly .firsrtissr, after
describing the New Years reception by the French
Emperor Of the various foreign Ministers, speaks Of
his interview with the American Ambassador. He
says
1t now deyolves upon your correspondent to
describe an incident of the diplomatic reception,
occurring a few moments after their formal address
had been pronounced, which. AT the present momen-
tOus juncrure III the affairs of our own country, will
excite 81 deep interest in the United States. The
statement | Am about to make may be relied upon a.
exact IN every particular. When the collective re-
cegtion Of the diplomatic body was over, the Emperor
passed slowly along the line Of Ambassadors and
Ministers, speaking IA few words to each in person.
After a moments conversation with the Persian
Ambassador, who stood ut the right OF the Minister
Of the United States, the Emperor approached Mr..
Faulkner and cordially shook his hand. The usual
words Of greeting were then exchanged, after which
the Emperor asked, in English
What Is the latest intelligence you have received
from the United States: Not 80 alarming, | trust,
a the papers represent II -
- Like most nations. Sire replied Mr.. Faulkner,
'. we nave our troubles, which have lost noueo o. their
cslorinc, as described in the European press"
The EMPEROR / hope it IS not true that any Of
the States have separated from the General COntedra-
ton"
Mr.. Faulkner The States still form one common
Government, A. heretofore. There i excitement in
portions OF the Conftieracy, and there are indications
Of extreme measures being adopted by one or two Of
the States. But We are familiar with the excitement,
as we are with the yjgOr which belongs to the iustitu-
tious Of a free people. We have already more than
once passed through connections which would have
shattered into fragments any other Government on
earth, and this fact ju-tifes the inference that the
strength OF the Union will now be found equal to the
strain upon it
The Emperor-"I sincerely hope it may be SO :;
and that you may long continue A united and pros
porous people"

peror 20 present To- him Mr.. J. g. Clarke. acting
