The invitation Of jeff. Davis to the pri-
Watering fraternity in general has about
severed the last link in the already fragile
chain of sympathy which existed between
the great States Of Europe and the new
sCopfederaey Before abe publication of
this pir.tical proclamation, vote in the
British House of Commons on the ques-
stion of recognition of the Southern Con-
'federacy would have secured respectable
minority; it cannot now muster dozen
sxotes. The energy which the Federal
Government displays, now that the issue
of war has been forced upon it, has also
had its effect in producing change in the
sentiment of public men. for they now see
that there is Government at Washington,
mud Government which intends to make
itself respected. '.5
:. The change in France among public
men is quite as remarkable as in England,
and the sympathizers with jeff. Davis's
pretended Government, is reduced to a cor
..poral's guard. Were if not for the Creole
sinfuencs we would hear absolutely no
voice in favor of the South. Fortunately
they have no influence with the Govern
ment or with public men, but they man
Q age, notwithstanding, to make a certain
amount of noise through tine public Jour-
mails, by means Of certain gentlemen in
their ranks who happen 10 hold places in
the press. Thus NJ. Gaillardet, one of the
:. editors of La Presse, who married in New
Orleans, and who has interests there, now
takes side with the Southern Confederacy,
8 although be formerly reproached the Amer
ican Republic for its damning sin of sla-
very. Fortunately, NJ Gailardet stands
alone in his pro-slarery tendencies on the
Presse, and lately the other writers of the
81 paper have shown decided sympathy for
1.-The North. We think we perceive, also,
? a modification In the tone even of H. Gail
Iardet's articles.
- Arother of these creole writers is M.
..iGuanier de Cassagnac, chief editor of the
81 Pays who supports slavery openly. An
effort has been made latelyby some South
-slern gentlemen to start a paper under the
81 direction Of this gentleman, in support of
zetheir cause; but in view Of the present
atightness of the money market, with most
Southern gentleinin, we presume it will be
10 safe to predict that The new paper is to re-
aSmain in the condition of an unaclieved
project. Another creole writer, NJ Gau-
hiac, a Louisianian by birth, leans TO the
ID Southern side of the question in the col
s3sumns of the Constitutional. Then there
e are several gentlemen of ability aud wealth
+. from New Orleans residing here, who are
every active in trying 10 Shape public opin-
bIiion. In all this there is a little of the old
Hoclassic hatred to the Anslo Saxon race, for
while tie Southern States contain all the
elements of The Latin race in America, the
Northern States are regarded as exclusive
.siy descended f:om the British Isles.
/ But, we have warm friends here also in
the press, and among these NJ. Malspiue,
= Of the OpinioRe .Nationale, is entitled to
The first rank. This gentleman lived some
= time in the United States, and is decided
g. ly the best informed writer in the French
=. press on American aff:.irs. He has es-
q poused the cause of humanity ard order
and justice in America with such ardor aad
ability as to provoke from the American
resi- Tents here piles of letters Of thanks,
and with what is still more substantial,
.slwith numerous subscriptions to his paper.
This paper is The organ Of Garibaldi and
. Victor Emmanuel, and f. ights the battles
of liberty and human progress everywhere.
N. Chanut, a gentleman who has lived in
: the United States, and who has son
there in the engineer service, also defends
q the cause of the Union in the pagee of
the Rerue Contemporaries, a Bonapartist
Il monthly. The SiecIe defends the North
ssa a oufrance; so does the satirical ChariUari.
-. Mr.. Sanford the new minister 10 Brussels
has been hare and at London for the last
three weeks, working hard in the good
cause. By his long diplomatic service in
4 Europe he is acquainted with most of the
{ men who now hold important places in
the Government of the Two countries, and
be has thus not only ready access to those
gentlemen, but they seek him out in order
TO obtain information on the present state
Of things in America. He was astonish
ed 10 find the ignorance that prevailed on
the subject, and still mere astonished to
find The harm that had resulted to the
cause of the Nottli by the apparent pow
erlessness or, at least apathy of the Fed
sz-eral Government up to the present time.
They do not understand that method of
dealing with traitors in Europe. Mr.. San
- ford confirms the fact of a change in the
= sentiments of public men, both here and
'- in England, in favor of the North, since
the publication Of JEFF. Davis's piratical
si. proclamation, and since they see there is
: North and Government q. Washington.
81 I'D Mr.: Sanford has made visit to Brussels,
but finding less to do there than at Paris
and London, has delayed his reception till
- the present moment He will be received;
however, by the King, tomorrow, and then
after making strong protest against the
recognition of the Southern Confederacy
NOW. or al any future time, will make his. .di-
plomaiic visit and return to Paris. MIR.
Sanford, in view of The debate which is to
take place in the English Parliament, on
VI next Tuesday, on American affairs, has
written, a letter TO Mr.. Dayton, to be han
ded to him at Southampton, when The stea.
mer arrives there, advising him in the most
urgent terms to so up to London at once
before coming to Paris, togive information
