IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.

/ rAris Correspondence OF the N. Herald, Nov, ,.
Pans, Oct. l8.--I was mistaken in the in.
formation | gave you in my last, as to the
favorable report Priaee Napoleon had given
to the Emperor Of whsthe conceived tobe the
chances Of success of the South. The fact
| Is now notorious, and the language he has
held to more than one Of the Ministers here
makes il evident that, in his belief, the I'M
ion is broken forever. II is easy to zee that
the government journals have become more
Southern in their views since his return.
The I" Constitutional" Of this morning in
serts letter from Manassas, fatty contra
dieting all that has been said about scarcity
Of food or difficulties Of any sort among the
rebels.
We are all watching with the most intense
interest your military movements, and what
ever may be the views Of the Government,
! am now more than ever satisfied that all
popular feeling is on the side of the Union.
Prince Napoleon told his cousin that he did
not believe
l. In the power Of the Federal army to
gain any important victory over that Of the
Confederacy.
Q. That, admitting the possibility Of the
fact, il would on the morrow Of victory be
as far of its object as before.
3. That the whole Union. as comprised
by the North, was rope Of sand. Hr gave
bis voice ia favor Of an early recognition Of
the South. have not the slightest hesita-
ton 10 stating this, as ] am sure my infor.
nation is authentic.
The government is very uneasy about the
harvest returns, and again and again sssur-
ances are put forth by its semi-ofiicial or
gsns that no effort shall be wanting TO lower
the present prices Of bread. II is its appre-
tensions on this head that renders 1t so
anxious about the cotton supply, the sssur-
ance Of which il sees only in recognition
Of the rebel States. A complete understand
ing exists between England and France on
the subject, and any disaster to the Union
army will be followed insianter by an ac-
acknowledgement Of the South. Nay, am by
no means sure that even victory and rout
under the auspices Of Gen. Mcclellan would
alter the natter.
THE BLocEAps.-The London Economist
closes an article against the involvement Of
England in war with the U. s. on account
Of the want Of cotton. and against the poll

such a war. as follows;
As far as England is concerned. we be-
lieye we may confidently assert that her in
ierposition will be strictly limited to insist
ing that the blockade Of every port announc.
ed to be closed shall be bona fde. efficient
and continuous. She must take care that
the blockading squadron shall be ample and
impartial. shall be considerable enough re.
ally to prevent ingress and egress. and shall
connive at the escape Of no ships. and shall
give papers 10 none. n these requirement:
are not fulflled-and We are by no means
satisfied on this head-then we are entitled
and are bound, to notify to the Government
sf the United States that the blockade Of
that port or that coast is not effective, is mo-
therefore valid by the Law Of nations, csnnotb BE-
recognized By Us. and will not be respected
by our ships. II we are yigilant enough il
this respect, we spprehend that the blockade
