Napoleon HI and the American EN-
brOgliO...France Offering to Me-
diate.
of the New York Express.

Correspondence of the New York Express.
PARIS, May IA, 1861.
On Sunday last, at 2 o'clock, P. NJ. the
Emperor Napoleon received Mr.. Charles
j. Faulkner, Munster 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 preliminary re-
marks, of personal character, the EN-
peror unreservedly expressed to Mr. Faulk-
ner bis profound regret at the unhappy dis
sessions now existing between the two great
sections of the American Union, and asked
whether the friendly mediation of France
would be acceptable, if the offer were made.
MIR. Faulkner replied that he possessed no
information of character to warrant him
in giving direct opinion; but he had no
hesitation in saying that, if the interposi-
ton of any foreign power would be admis-
sible, that of France, the nation which had
aided the Thirteen Colonies in their early
struggle for independence, and had remained
their constant friend since the organization
of the Federal Government, wauld certainly
be looked upon, by both the North and the
South, as most worthy of their mutual con-
6dence; particularly as France had never,
directly or indil ectly, manifested any desire
to NEEDLE in the domestic affairs of the
United States, and had always exhibited a
sincere and disinterested sympathy for the
whole Union, irrespective of section.
The American people, he was certain,
would not refer 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 suspension of hos
tilities, and enable the North and South to
settle their differences without the efasion
of fraternal blood. The Emperor said he
feared it might now be too late, and that
civil strife had gone too far to be stopped
by an appeal to the dictates of reason but
if he could be the means of averting the
horrors ola war between American brothers
he would esteem it a high privilege to offer
the friendly cousels of France.
You may rely upon these important de-
tails as perfectly correct. Mr.. Dayton has
arrived in Paris, and will probably have an
audience of the Emperor next Sunday. II
our new Minister, whose position becomes
most responsible, should express views SINH
lar to those of his predecessor the
Emperor will doubtless ask his opinions on
the same points-an immediate offer oil
French mediation may be anticipated.

Total. ....................7 10

This is the total force of regular ships
and guns at the command of the adminis-
tration. But about fifty vessels are to be
chartered (of which forty-one are already in
commission, and manned by United States
sailors), which will carry some 2lO guns.
Although the revenue cutters have nothing
to do with the navy in ordinary times,
many of them have been transferred tempo.
rarily to the charge of Secretary Weles.
There being no official list published since
November lest, it is not easy to say how
many cutters there are. The number will
not, in any case exceed twenty so the to-
tai number of all sorts of vessels afoat now
subject to government orders, is about 104;
and the guns owned by Uncle Sam about
2,184. Some of the craft are not very eff
Gent. About thirty-eight are regular fight
ing men-of-war, of the modern stamp.

The abolition Of privateering having been
resolved on by the Government, perma-
nant navy, commensurate with the stand
ing of the nation, will be necessary. As
the Naval Register for 1861 is the last that
will appear with the names of eighty men
of-war, it is given, in full, as follows:
There are now seventy-nine men.of-war
on the register, There were eighty-nine be-
fore the burning of the Norfolk navy yard,
when the liners of Pennsylvania Q20 guns),
Delaware IA guns), New York ia, which
was on the stocks and never launched);
frigates Raritan, (5O), United States $50,
the first naval vessel built for the United
States government, and the Columbia
the corvettes Plymouth, (22), and German
town (22), and the brig Dolphin (6), were
scuttled and sunk. The following is the
present strength of the regular navy:

AT WnaC pOlnL tneSe troops are 10 Oe con.
centrated to resist the forces of the United
States, must be at this time matter of
conjecture.
- In the Mobile advertiser of May 25
we find the following special dispatch from
Montgomery, Ala, dated the 25th:
An order has been issued to clerks in the de-
partment to be ready to leave for Richmond by
Wednesday or Thursday next. Some leave to-
night to prepare rooms. 1t is supposed that
the President takes his departure soon. All
are busy packing up to move.
The Mississippians are also preparing for
the conflict. Last.week Governor Pettus
received a requisition for FIVE additional
regiments, to go into immediate service,
and rendezvous at Corinth. The Missis-
sippaan says that in six days the number
required will be on the line of march.
The little Southern navy which is
made up of stolen vessels, is fitting up in
New Orleans. The revenue cutter Wash
ington is to be changed into an armed
clipper, like her consort the McClelland,
also stolen from the government. The
Delta gives US the following information
about other vessels:
We saw, too, at the ship yards of the AL.
giers several other ships of the Confederate
States, which are being fitted up with great
rapidity and completeness for the service.
Among these are the Star of the West, captur-
ed by Colonel Van Doyn, fine, large and SER
vceable steamer; the McRae, formerly the
Marquis de Habana, and the Sumter, formerly
the Miramon, strong steamships, which. in the
hands of our gallant naval officers, will be very
valuable additions to the defensive and ag.
gressive power and resources of the Confeder.
ate States. The fitting up of these vessels and
of several privateers imparts great life and ac-
tivity to our ship yards.
The Richmond Enquirer says that
Richmond contains, at this moment, no less
than five thousand unemployed negroes.
The tobacco factories are closed, or work.

of manual labor are at stand still. Slaves
walk the streets, whose masters can find no
work for them to do.

a Democratic Protest.

LeGrand Byington, late Democrats,
candidate for Presidential EIector,
sends the following protest to the
Iowa City Press, warning Dem,
ocrats against any coalition with Re,
publicans. 1t is evident that LeGrand
is not in the secret of the Democratic
programme for the coming elections
in this State, or if he is, that he does
not approve of it:
If read right the resolutions pass
ed by our late County Convention, our
glorious old party arc therein pledged
to an active support Of the unconsti-
tutional and aggressive Jofdg, by
which Lincoln, Seward, Chase Il Co,
are about TO visit one half the Union

Gen. Scott and the Traitor Davis.


When Frank. Pierce occupied the
Presidential chair, JEFF. Davis, the
arch-traitor, was Secretary of War.
At that time it seemed to be the poll
cy OF Pierce and Davis, for some
cause, to humble and disgrace Gene.
raj Scott; but the Indignation of the
people and the spotless purity of the
Old liero's character prevented the
conspirators (tor we can only regard
the efforts for that purpose as conspir-
acy) from carrying out their designs
ten. Scott came out of the controver.
sy vndicated ; his reputation was un-
injured, and it is related of him bv
those who know the man, that he has
never forgiven Davis the mean part
hc played in that business. Therefore
Gen. Scott embraces the present op-
portunlty to repay Davis, not only for
his trcachcry to his country, but also
for his dastardly treatment of himself
Scott is determined to surround and
hem III the arch traitor, 50 as to make
his escape impossible, if he heads his
rebel cohorts in an open field, unless
he does SO by his own hands in suicide.
The plan and the purpose is to take
Davis and as many of his advisers as
possible prisoners, and having them
In possession make speedy and
prompt example of each after fair
trial. There is no reason in wasting
powder on such wretches. Death by
the bullet would afford an honorable
