That "ShadoW OF i Possibility"

We have had something TO say,
heretofore, OF q SHADOW OF posi-
biiity," regarding the object of
Count MERGERS visit 10 Richmond
What we had to say WAS regarded
by somc an quite an likely M any
thing, others and among them gen
tlemen who left Richmond about the
tine Mercicr arrived there, declared
i impossible, and regarded his bus
iucss as having reference either to
6 bacco or'to some iafcied guard
anship of Louisiana, which tho trea-
ty Of Session left with France, while
still others looked upon it as the
mere idle speculation Of an editor
who was at q loss for subject.
However it may all have been,
intelligence received since, seems TO
point TO the fact that the specula-
tions Of Count MERCER himself ran
III vesv similar chaLIel. Whatev-
er has been thought Of it, most men
regarded such scheme as not un-
desirable, aud we are led TO believe
it would not be unacceptable to the
body OF the people.
How we first got hold Of the mat
ter need not be told, but following
close after our specuIatiOns came
vague hints from Richmond OF
French intervention Very shortly
afterwards came articles from Nor
tharn papers, claiming to have au-
thentic intelligence from the French
embassy, specializing in the same
direction, and just now we have the
matter mentioned and commented
on in leading articles Of Paris and
London journals, And the whole
tone of tho European press is deci-
dedly more favorable to the Conitd-
eracy than at any time since the
settlement of the Trent affair.
The accounts Of the starving con
dition Of the operatives in france
and England are dreadful. Mum
bers are actually dying Of starva-
ton. Domestic outbreaks are threat,
encd. Distress 10 universal and it
is al attributed to the American
difficulties, The Emperor, more
versatile than John Bull, does not
look upon these things with that
staid composure which England al
tects. Nor is he regarded as alto
gether 81 much committed to Exc
ter Aia'l pnIiosophy and its sham
philanthropy as is the English ma
ton wnirh mas once sacrificed mill
ions in Difference to the leading idea
OF that house.
1t is quite certain that all western
Europe regards this war as having
progressed far enough to render Il
re establishmentot the United States
impossible This being certain, it
is but consulting Their own safety
to endeavor to effect II settlemen &.
1t is not unlikely, as some Of UAe
European journals seem to think
that Napolean will step in as me-
diator, and if his mediation is not
accepted, he will seek an opportu-
nifty to engage in the conflict, with
view Of relieving the home press
ure of his starving subjects. Com
ing epe7tS do sOmetimES cast their
Shadops BEFORE them.
