TIE FREScn GOVERNMENT AND THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The Paris correspondent of the National Integencer
writes as follows:
Al sorts Of stories have been circulated in Che United
States relative to the supposed views Of the French
government in sectional differences. Whatever
those views may be- it is quite certain that expression
has been given to them many FORM Among the state
ments have seen widely published, in northern and
southern journals, is in particular to the effect that
secret depuaton from the south had been received by
the French ministry assured that the sympathies of
France with the seeding States and that she would
be prepared to lend them material aid if necessary to
secure their independence There is not one particle
of truth in this assertion and justice to the south itself
requires It's correction. Its tendency can only be to
deceive the public mind without aleyiang the troubles
which distract our country. In declaring all reports OF
French interference to be destitute of foundation in
fact am only repeating information derived from I'M
questionable source, and anticipating the formal an
nouncement which learn, Will appear in day or two
in the Constitutional accredited organ of the EN-.
peror government that whilst France looks with pro
found regret upon the internal differences which agitate
the American Cnien and whilst she earnestly depores
the dissolution of the great conederacy which she aided
to establish Thoughts is entertained by her Of inter
posing in favor Of either section

Secession FROM SPANISH EIEw.-Spain is repre-
sentedas becoming very uneasy in regard the seees

Constitutional writes follows under date of February

In our political circles they begin to be much oceu-
pied with the great drama which the United States fur
