DrLomTrc RruoRs. - The Washington
correspondent Of the n. Y. Times gives
brace OF diplomatic rumors, both important
IL truo. The first asserts that the French
Minister at Washington had verbally signi.
fed to Mr.. Seward the opinion Of his Gov
crnment that our national contest was inter-
minable, and that we ought to come to some
arrangement with the Confederates. Mr..
Seward is said to have answered these views
In letter to Mr.. DAYTON. The second ru.
NOR states that tho Emperor Napoleon told
Mr.. Slidell that he could not recognize the
Southern Confederacy without some refer
ence to slavery, and he should like to know
beforehand whether or not the Confederate
Government felt disposed to adopt some meas
ures concerning the emancipation Of the
blacks in time moro or less remote. Mr..
Slidell has undertaken to consult his "Gov.
ernment.'
