An experience Of six weeks amid the earnest activities

which it is nv pleasure and pride to be connected, and
thus establish Library which, while it will fall very
lightly On each individual viii be source of great en-

He trusted therefore the order in question was mere

Be that however as it might the case assumed differ

of English subjects This country has recognized not
as an independent power, but as body possessing the
rights of begerent the Confederation OF the South

power issue regular authority for prvaeering; but
the principle as against British subjects established by
the proclamation was that il they chose to engage IN
prvateering and so act in violation OF the orders OF

upon the government to interfere for their protection

The Earl of Peterborough feared very much that

diminish the apprehension of those disposed to engage
in the privatecring which had been alluded to- He
hoped would not have the effect because he WAS sure
that long before the dplomass could terminate their
correspondence the men so interfering and captured

q, Sunday last a. O'Clock. p. NJ, tho Emperor Ma

United Safes to the Court OF France, who had demand
audience for the purpose OF presenting MS letters
OF recall The iuteryeE took place IN the throne room
AZ the Palace of the Tuieres. Alter some preliminary
remark Of personal character the Emperor uneserV-
eiy expressed to Mr. Faulkner bis profound regret al
ne uuh Apply discussions existing oet"een lne Two
great sections of the American Union and asked whether
the friendly mediation Of France would be acceptable
the Offer made.
Mr. Faulkner replied that be possessed no information
Of character to warrant him in giving diree. opnlon
gu he bad no hesitation in declaring that, the inter
position Of any foreign power would be admissible, that
OF France the nation which had aided the TEireeh Coi-
Oues in their early struggle for independence ana naa
remained their CONSTANT friend since the organization oil
ta Federal Government would certainly be looked upon
5y both the North and the South, most worthy OF their
mutual confidence particularly France had never OIL
rgcy nor Indirectly manifested any desire to NEEDLE IN
the domestic Affairs OF The United States, aud had always
exhibited sincere and Gisinteresed sympathy Tor the
whole Union, irrespective OF section.
The American people he certain, would not refer
70 the arbitration OF any European power the questions
which are the Of the present troubles but the
amieable mediation of France might have the effect OF
inducing suspension of bosttes and enable the North
and South TO settle their differences without the enasoh
of fraterna blood. The Emperor said he feared 1t
might now be too late and that civil strife had gone
too far be stopped by appeal TO the dictates oil
reason; but, If It could be the means OF aVerung tne
horrors OF war between American brothers, ne would
esteem il high privilege to offer the friendly counsels
OF France.
You may RELY upon these important detais as perfect
IL correct Mr.. Dayton has arrived In Paris, and VIII
probably have audience of the Emperor next Sunday
II our new Minister whose position becomes most re-
sponsble should express views similar TO those OF his
predeeessOr-snd the Emperor will doubtless ask his
opinions the same points-an immediate oiitr OF
French mediation may be anticipated.
