FEELlEH or THE AMERICANS IN PARIS,
Paa CDec 9 corossp ,ndeaca Of the London uerall.
The Americans in Paris are making preparations
to migrate honcwaTds. They seem to dread that
the British Government will lay an embargo On the
American bottoms in EuglIsh ports. They Ioudl7
assert IhGC the demands of the British Govern
IRE pTepo3taTous and that the North viii spend its
last and its lae5 dollar before giving up the
Southern Commissioners.
The SCuthern6rs. who are numerous here, are IN
eCstacie5 and 90 not hesitate to proclaim that the
outrage Of tho comm sDder of the San J4cinlo will
d)mOTe TO forward the triumph of their cause
than any amount of victories that BeaUregaCd or
Johnston might achieve. Party feeling runs very
high between the N0rthCrneTs and SCUtheTneTs II
Paris, and it Is nos without interest to watch their
demeanOr towards each other ct the public places
where they are perforce thrown in contact with
each other. They avoid speaking, but look bowls
knives and reYOlvers at each other.
At Havre am informed the GnjnuS is far more
strongly display ed, and the crew Of the Bermuda
which has just arrived there, having, as you are
aware run the blockade at Charleston. have been
warned by the police not to repair to the usual
haunts freqUentad by the Yankee sailors. The be
lief il war between England and the United
States is so general. that ell the New York meT-
chants are fastening to c0mpete their cargoes, to
be able to sail IS soon possible. Hayre being
the principal port in France fer American shipping
it is easy to understand the tremendous sensation
which the difficulty has created there.
