NAPOLEON ABOUT TO RECOGNIZE THE CoSFEDERATE
STATES AS INDEPENDENT AS He HAS T4LY-HE IN
INMATES THE SUPPORT OF THE GREAT POWERS FOR
BIS ACTION.
Paris June 15J Correspondence Of London Times.
La PGtris has the following important statement,
which has since been repeated in the AoniteT::
1t is stated that negotiations will shortly be open
ed to effect the reestablishment of diplomatic rela-
tIons between France and the Court of Turin.
Should these negotiations take place the result Will
be the recognition De fIcto Of the Italian kingdom,
composed Of the provinces and of the States which
have been placed under the seeptre Of His Majesty
King Victor Emanuel, consequent upon events on
which France has now no opinion to express, but
which have been accomplished under favor of the
principle of noniRterEentiOn recognized by Europe.
The renewal of diplomatic relations with Turin
would not imply, on toe part of France as regards
the policy of the Italian Kingdom, any judgment
the past, or any responsibility for the future IL
would show that the de fdct0 Government of this
State is sufficiently established for it to be pos
sible to entertain international relations with It,
demand. France, by her new attitude, would not
pretend to interfere in any manner in the internal
of external affairs of the Italian kingdom, which
remains sole judge of its conduct, it is master Of
its future and of its desnes It would act towards
it as one day the great European Powers will act
in the American question, by recognizing the new
Republic of the Southern States, when that Repub
lie shall have constituted Government the basis
which will allow international relations to be enter
tanned with it of advantage to general interests.

THREE REBEL COMMISSIONERS IN PARIS.
Paris June 9 correspondents cf the LondCn Post
Three gentlemen, delegates from the Southern
States, are now in Paris. They will not be received
officially. hear that they very much diSeour-
aged. Many Of our American friends in Paris now
begin to hope there will be serious fighting es>
pecialy if blood should be shed up to the 4th of
July, when Congress meets.
From tie Lanaoa Herald, (Derty org4n) June 10.
What Importance are we to attach to the fact that
France is about to recognize the Italian kingdom
The act itself is the most natural thing that be
conceived. England recognized the new State i'm
mediately and it is difficult to discover why the
Emperor of the French has postponed his recOgni-
ton till now. But few days since, we had to no
tice published conversation between M. ThOuve-
nal and the Minister Of the United States in which,
speaking of the possible formation of Southern
COnfederacy, it was affirmed to be general r1le
with the Powers Of Europe to recognize any de
factO Government Is not Italy now a kingdom de
f1cto and one the integrity of which is thre2tened
by no foreign Power whatsoever? Why, then, de-
lay TO recognize it. If the principle just laid
down by NJ. ThOuyenel be the correct one on what
possible ground. for what conceivable motive, could
this simple act Of justice, the resumption Of this di-
plOmatic relations, have been delayed so long,
From the Loadon Post (doVernmsnt organ) June -
1t is said that the reinforcement of three thousand
men aboUtto sail for Canada will be considered by
the Americans as a menace, whilst it Is unueceszs-
ry to preserve the peace or TO protect the neUtrR
ty of the province. We did not doubt the loyalty
of the Canadian people, who invested with selfgov
ernment, enjoy an amount Of freedom which is only
augmented and secured by the connection of the
province with the mother country. The truth is
that the troops which are to be dispatched in the
Great Eastern and Golden Fleece have not been Or
dered off to defend the extended and exposed from
tier of Canada-not to coerce royal and content
ed people, but to supply the necessary garrison
for Quebec and Kingston. The reinforcement has
been demanded by Sir Fenwick Williams the COM
mander-in chief in Canada, simply as measure of
precautiOH. 1t is neither menace to the people of
the United States insult 70 the people of Can
ada. 1t Is ordinary matter of routine which we
believe would altogether have escaped observation
if the Great Eastern had not, for the first time,
been most properly converted to the best purpose
for which she is ftted-that of troop ship. The
object of the General is not to Offend but to give
additional security to colony which, by an unfCr-
tunate accident may be possibly brought into close
contact with the dangers and horrors of civil war.

THE AGGRESSION OF SPAIN IN ST. DoHNGo-REsULTs
FROM OUR UNION DIFFICULTIES.
Prom the London Post, June Il.
The hitherto complete success of the Spanish expe-
dition to st. Domingo is incident of peculiar in
sgnhcance in the present troubled state of trapsat
lantic politics. If any one had predicted such an
have been simply regarded lunatic But we
live in strange times. Political changes of the most
unomentous kind are every day taking place around
U.s. Who could have predicted two years ago that
northern and southern Italy would at this day have
been united under one sceptre Who could then
have foreseen that the great American Republic
would now have been split asunder, and the oppOs-
ing sections be busy preparing for deadly conflict
Yet more remarkable than the realization Of the
dream of Italian unity, and more remarkable than
the grave fact of American disruption, is the sud
den and apparent inexplieable revival Of Spanish
energy and enterprise the very field where they
were once most prominently displayed. 1t may be
said indeed that but for the crisis in America, we
should never have heard of the st. Domingo expedi
ton.
II may be said that President LIncclns difficulty
is Marshal O'Donnes opportunity and this is un-
doubtedly the case. Il is easy to imagine what
ierment would have been created at Washington
had such an expedition been attempted twelve
month since. The Spanish Government would
have been told, in the planest terms, that it must
not presume upon any pretenee, or uuder any CIR
cumstances. to extend is dominiOns in the New
World, and that the Monroe doctrine would be
