special dispatch to the Times SAYS:
The French minister vent to Richmond to as
sure the rebels that the Emperor of the French
does not recognize them as power among the
nations; that England -afs> France by recogniz-
ing them belligerents did all that could be ex-
pected on the part of neutral governments: that
the blockade of their ports is effectual that they
are fairly beaten in arms, and their independence
as nation impossible; that a continuance of
hostilites, by the threatened destruction of the
cotton and tobacco crops of their citizens would
only be wanton injury to the commerce of the
world njuring France and England even more
than the United States; and that a resort TO guer-
rilia warfare, as proposed when their armies are
destroyed would demoralize society, and be sim

admonished, therefore, that cessation of hos
| tilities is duty which they owe to themselves
and to the world. which all civilized nations will
unite in requiring of them.
