IMPORTANT FROM PARs-Nnpolson III and

The Paris correspondent Of the New York Ex.
press writes from that city Al follows
PARIS, Tuesday, May Ia, 1861.
On sunday last, at 2 O'Clock p. m, the Empe-
TOR Napoleon received MIR. Charles J Faulkner,
Minister Of the United States to the Court OF
France, who had demanded an audience, for the
purpose Of presenting his letters Of recall The
Interview took place In the throne ROOM at the
Palace Of the Tuileries After some prelimi narv
remarks, Of a personal character, the Emperor
unreservedly expressed to Mr. Faulkner his pro-
found regret at the unhappy dissensions now ex.
listing between the two great sections OF the Amer.
lean Union, and asked whether the friendly me
d'atton Of France Dorid be acceptable If the offer
tcsre made.
Mr.. Faulkner replied that he possessed ne In.
formation of character to warrant him I'm giving
direct opinion; but he had no hesitation in de.
claring that IL the interpostion OF any foreign
Power would be admissible that OF France
which had aided the Thirteen Colonies in their
struggle for Independence, and had remained
their constant friend since the organization of
the Federal Government, would certainly be
locked upon, by both the North and the South,
as most worthy Of their mutual confidence; par.
ticularly az France had never directly nor indi-
rectly, manifested any desire to meddle in the
domestic affairs Of the United States and had
always exhibited sincere and disinterested sym-
pathy Tor the whole Union, irrespective Of sec
Ilon; The American people, he was certain,
would notrefer to the arbitration Of any European
Power the questions which are the causes Of the
present troubles; but the amicable mediation of
France might have the effect OF inducing a sus-
pension Of hostilities, and enable the North and
South to settle their differences without the effu
sion Of fraternal blood.
The Emperor said he feared 1t might now be
too late and that civil strife had gone too far TO
be stopped by an appeal to the dictates of reason;
out, II he could be the means Of averting the hor-
rors of war between American brothers, he
would esteem 1t high privilege to offer the
friendly council Of France
