"raw," assuring ~ them the human BatUral
pleasure Of seeing their fellow creatures squrm,
mas entered for large part into the motives Of
the few mischeyUus writers of tie English press,
whose articles we declared TO bs 70 stupid and
seemed 10 Ieel 10 be 80 smart. IL may be- gratI-
fyiug 10 your sensitive readers 10 be reassUred
of the friendly spirt Of French journalism. Les
De5Gts of last Saturday contains long citation
from Mr. Russelrs letter, dated New Orleans,
May "a. And here let II be parentheticaly noted,
that the American correspondence OF The London
Times dO.s more hann tO the Southern COIfed-
eraey in English correspondence than It's leading
tlces can DO good. the citation is Introduced by q
paragraph in which the French editor says: " Es-
"pecially at this time, when the Southern Conf O.
eratiOD seems to be- studIOusly increasing its efforts
g to attain n recognition BY Europe, We earnestly
" commend it Mr.. Russelrs letter 10 the atteniil

pachydermatOus readers of The TRIBUNE, tough
enough 10 bear the succeeding lines OF the Dtbais
editor, who goes oh 10 any: " As for us, We are
sure that an act Of this nature cOIfOnnable II "a
" true 10 the law of nations, but which might pass
for moral support inyountarly given to the
cause Of the South, would find decided adyeTsa-

That is, the DeJais feels that the United States
are in lie right aud the T.. 5. A. III the wrOLej
thinks that the e.. S. A. has growing chance aud
legal right OF recogltiOB; believes that the liberal
French press would decidedly diSapprOye such
recognition.
Now, the French Government is no more guided
by feelings of pure right aud humanity than the
American or any other Government. The restrain

The evacuation of HaPer's Ferry is about bal.

reported disaster menacng Col. Wallace. A French
gentleman, the other day, expressed more than his
individual opinion when he remarked: " Your men

superior to your discipline" In fine, people here,
who on the whole sympathize with U.S. zee our de-

A clever pamphlet is attracting notice here this

II is a well-argued protest against the action OF
Spain in regard to ST. Domingo, aud in favor Of
protecting the Independence OF the Haytian Re
public.
Some OF our sincere cisatantic sympathizers,
whose sympathy we claim in our struggle against
the slave Power at home wonder why we do not
recognize Hayti as a uatioD-innocently ask even,
why we do not practically, actively sympathze
with the four millions Of black subjects of this Slave
Power on our own soil Astonishing how ignorant
