The PARIS correspondent Of the London
morning Post says it is not true as some
journals represent, that the French govern
ment has taken any steps to bring about a
reconciliation between the North and the
South. Mr.. Massey, NJ. p, had delivered
speech before his constituents at Stafford, in
which he advocated that the European pow
ers should interfere and recognize the Con-
iederate States and break the blockade.
The London Times in an editorial upon it,
says that France may interfere If she likes.
En.lsnd's true policy is to suffer a little
longer and let the event work itself out. 1t
will not be long. IL may indeed be doubt
full whether our interference would not
rather rotard than hasten the desired event
Of OPENING the ports, and large supply Of
cotton. Let US then pursue our honest poll

The Manchester Guardian argues in a
somewhat similar strain, and as regards the
cotton supply it says it is question how far
10 this district the prevailing distress is duo
to the civil war in America, and whether it
is not as much attributable to over-produc
ton as to a mere desrth Of cotton.
The brig West Indian, from Charleston,
