Letters received from Paris by the Asia

Louis Napoleon, at the official p~resenta ion Of

Emperor expressed a wish that the United

The Navy Department has received the re-

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Enquirer.1
SPRINGFIELD, IL, January ia strong
pressure is being made on Mr.. Lincoln to in.
duce him to declare for compromise, but up
to this time everything has proved unsvailing.
Hen. Joseph Gillespie, Republican eandi.
date for Congress in the eighth district, is cir.
eula'iHg a petition to Congress, in favor Of the
border State proposition. It is being signed
By Republicans first, and will afterwsrd be
presented 10 the Democratic members Of the
legislature. l. is also understood that a dele
cation Of Republicans are here from Chicago
with a petition in favor of the CrittepdeI
amendment. But it meets with disfavor among
Republicans generally.
Mr.. Gillespie, I understand, presented tht
border S ate plan to the Republican caucus
last night. It was discussed, but it is not
known what action has been taken. I do not
believe that anything can be done for the coun-
try By Republicans at the home Of Lincoln.
These who control him here are anti-compro-
mise men, and while be remains in Spring.

from him..

he is at present bitterly opposed to any com

upon him. While the true friends Of our c0un-

With fearful eyes, Mr.. Lincoln, whose election
has been taken as a prstext for all our trou-
bles, is IS careless and unconcsrnsd as IL moth
ing was the matter / see him nearly every
day, at one place or another, and no traces Of
anxiety are marked on bis eountenanee. He
engages in conversation on trivial and unim-
portant matters, and such as are frequently
beneath the dignity Of his high position, and
that too, with his usual leyity aud Jokes. Be.
ing no statesman, himself, and having none
such residing here with whom to consult, he
is under the influence Of men who know moth

mating with the President elect during bis stay

extreme demands Of the South, il these ema.
nate from the Middle States, than to those
which may be presented By a southern eonfed-
eracy. Fear and intimidation will avail both
ing, and It Is puerile and worse than childish
20 anticipate concessions from any such mo-
tives and agencies. Northern men are no more
towards than ourselves. History proves II.
But when the States, deemed conservative
have presented their wrongs, a majority Of
northwestern men will be found ready &c
come TO any reasonable terms, and in such ae-
ton on the part Of Virginia we have the ias'
hope Of recreating ths Union.
II is true, however, that there IS now a bare
possibility for the adjustment OF pending df'
feulties. We have no President, and the MS

House Is an autometon in the hands OF any
trickster or mountsbank who chooses to uss
him in any j~ugglery for the amusement o.
B aek-Republicanism, and for TIE curses =
posterity. The probabilities are that the
policy Of coercion will be applied to one OF
more Of the southern Statss-for this there Is
no justification either in the Constitution o.
in the realms Of common sense. The hrst sno'
cred into a southern city will arm tennessee

Hon. John Ben.

From The Nashville Gazette Of the 2sd.1
The bouae OF representatives. was last even
ing crowded with anxious listeners to til
speech Of our venerated fellow-citizen, Hen
John Boil. Throughout the delivery Of BIZ
lengthy address, in some parts necessarily te
dions, we were gratifed to see that the vener.
able ex-senator had the patient, attentive
hearing Of his immense auditory, embracing
as it did, many who do not agree with him il
political sentiment. There was no disorder
no confusion, no interruption. We wish v,
could say as much Of all pHb ie meetings held
in Nashville.
At the late hour Of writing this paragraph
we have not an opportunity Of referring a.
length to the remarks Of the speaker, and are
not sure that we would If time and space per.
mitted. It is hardly in our nature to say ar
unkind word Of the opinions Of one whom We
have so long admired, and for whom we but
lately cast OuT vote for the highest Office In
the gift Of the American people, however
much those opinions may at present diF-
fer from our own. We must, however, be
permitted to say and we say it with no
disposition to incur displeasure from any quar-
ter-that as a Tsnnesseean, and as a member
Of the late Opposition party supporting Mr..
Bell for the presidency, we felt Inundated
and ashamed to see that vererahl4, patriotic
man stand up in the capitol Of Tennessee, and
make himself the spologist e such miserable
fanatics as Seward and Lincoln. The record,
however, is against them, and we do not, there
fore, see how it is possible for Mr.. Bell, or
any other man, 10 convince the people Of the
South that the incoming President and his
premier DO not cherish deadly hostility 10 the
South and her institutions.

The Recent Cruise OF the Rrooklvn
Frou the Norfolk D.x nh

The Recent Cruise of the Rrockiyn.
From the Norfolk Day Book.l
git is well known that the BROOKLYN went
down the coast to Charleston harbor. and
would have gone in, or, az least, would have
attempted it, bat for the fact that Just as she
got OF the mouth Of the river, she met and
spoke a small rough looking schooner coming
out, said schooner carrying no flag.
Where are you bound?" was asked BIZ one
Of the officers Of the BROOKLYN.
"Philadeluhia," answered the schooner.
The schooner then imDarted the intelligence
that the Star OF the West had attempted to
enter the harbor, and had eighteen or twenty
shots fred iho her, and she thought it impru-
dent for the Brooklyn to enter in.
The Brooklyn rounded to, and was surprised
to see that the schooner did not proceed 70 sea.
It was also observed that a steamer came out
Of the harbor and talked with the schooner,
and then took her in tow until she was some
distance from the Brooklyn. The steamer
finally went back, and the schooner ~leisureIy
made her way into the harbor. It now occur
red to those on board the Brooklyn that the
sailors on the schooner wore black silk hats,
standing collars, store clothes, ETC., and the
Impression soon prevailed that the schooner
was one Of the guard vessels that had been
sent out 10 intercept the Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn made no attempt 70 enter the
harbor, but remained outside until she started
homeward. She arrived in Hampton Roads
about dark on Monday night, and cane to
anchor under the guns Of Fortress Monroe, in
or near the spot occupied By the Great Eas-
tern when she was OF Old Point.
1t is a little remarkable that none Of the
guns on the Brooklyn were loaded. or even IN
lashed for the purpose, nor was the slightest
preparation for action made on board during
the whole cruise. TIE sailors that were on
board were divided in sentiment, some being
southern men in sentiment while Others were
induenced BY northern feeling. As for the
officers, nothing could be gained from them.
They were perfectly mum on all the various
subjects connected With The ship or her cruise.
and il they discussed the subject at all, did 60
privately.
The two officers who sent in their rssigna-
tons The day before the BROOKLYN sailed were
on board during the whole cruise. The accep-
lance Of their designations had not been
received up to he sailing Of the BROOKLYN, and
they were compelled to remain on board until
they were absoiyed from their oatbs Of Office.
The destination Of the Brooklyn is unknown.
She Is, at this time, In the Roads, and 1t Ia be-
loved that she will proceed to New York; but
there is nothing eertrin about her future
movements.

It is estimated that In The las. fifty years the
