PARIS, May Z, 1861.
The invitation of JEFF. Davis to the priva.
teering fraternity in general has about sew
cred the last link in the already fragile chain
of sympathy which existed between the
great States of Europe and the new Confed-
eracy. Before the publication of this pirat-
ical proclamation, q vote in the British
House of Commons on the question of rec
ognition Of the Southern Confederacy would
have secured a respectable minority: it can
not now muster a dozen votes. 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
a change in the sentiment of public men, for
they now see that there is a Government at
Washington, and q Government which in
tends to make itself respected.
The change in France among public men
is quite as remarkable as in England, and
the sy~mpathizers with JEFF. Dsvis's pretended
Government, is reduced to a corporars
guard. Were it not for the Creole influence
we would hear absolutely no voice in favor
of the South; but the Louisiana families
who live, or have connections here are quite
numerous, and naturally enough go with
the South. fortunately they have 40 infu-
ence with the Government or with public
men, but they manage, Notwithstanding, to
make a certain amount of noise through the
public journals, by means of certain gentle
men in their ranks who happen to hold
places in the press. Thus M. Gaillardet, one
of the editors of La Pres8e, who married in
New Orleans, and who has interests there,
now takes side with the Southern Confed.

American Republic for its dRmning sin of
slavery. Fortunately, M. Gaillardet stands
alone in his pro-slavery tendencies on the
PTesse, and lately the other writers Of the
paper have shown a decided sympathy for
the North. We think we perceive, also, a
modification in the tone even of NJ. Gall
lardet's articles.
Another of these creole writers is NJ.
Granier de Cassagnac, chief editor Of the
Pays, who supports slavery openly. An
effort has been made lately by some South
ern gentlemen TO start q paper here under
the direction of this gentleman, in support
Of their cause; but in view of the present
tightness of the money market, with most
Southern gentlemen, we presume it willo
safe to predict that the new paper is to re-
main in the condition of an u~nachieved pro-
| ject. Another creole writer, NJ. Ggulhiac, q
Louisianian by birth, leans to the Southern
side of the question in the columns Of the
Constitutional. Then there are several gems
tlemen of ability and wealth from New Or
leans residing here, who are very active in
trying to shape public opinion. In all this
there is a little Of the old classic hatred to
the Anglo Saxon race, for while the South
ern States contain all the elements Of the
Latin race.in America, the Northern States
are regarded as exclusively descended from
the British isles.
But we have warm friends here also in
the press, and among these NJ. Malspine, o.
the OPintone Nationak, is entitled to the
first rank. This gentleman lived some tint
in the United States, and is decidedly the
best informed writer in the French press OF
American affairs. He has espousedthe causI
ofhumanity and order and Justice in Americl
with such ardor and ability as TO provoke
from the American residents here piles o
letters of thanks, and with what Is stillmori
substantial, with numerous subscriptions Il

battles Of liberty and human progress every

lived in the United States, and who has asol

cause OF the Union in the pages OF the Reeu
C0ntempordiHs, a Bonapartist monthly. Th
