Now, the treaty of Paris provides that a
blockade, 10 be valid, must be maintained By
q sufficient force, and il puts an end 10 priva-
teerink In Europe. The London Herald says
Ito recognize the treaty Of Paris would be to
make the Northern States of the American
Union powerless on the ocean" 1t is also
said that Lord LYONS, the English Minister,
has commonica ted to Government the
determination Of England not 10 acknowledge
a paper blockade, and the LINCOLN Govern
ment has no means 10 enforce any other.
The same policy is prom lgated on the part
OF the Emperor of the french, whose organ

as "the victim Of Northern pretensions,' and
denounces the North as ''the aggressor," and
as exhibiting so much rashness and autlaci-

her against the deiusion, and points to the
prssentattifndeo OF England rs "beginnipg to
measure the whole extent OF the disaster
which menaoes her manufactures. and no !

esu depend In great measure on the pros-
perity OF the South, while Europe has a deem
Interest in seeing preserved, at least tempo. |
rariiy, her Institutions, now attacked with so
much vehemence."
It's thus very evident that neither France
nor England will permit a blockade OF the
cotton States, and that 1t Is highly probable

question, a. they had in the case of the inter
