names Of 400 vessels Of ono sort and another, that
have entered into and issued from Southern ports
since the declaration Of their blockade. Mr. Mason
told Lord John Russell that they were 700, but had
not given names and tunnage. Slidell does not ask
France to break blockade, still less for the moment
TO recognize the C. s. A. Only presses on them,
with some exaggerston doubtless, the fact OF block
ade having been rum and begshem TO think over the
same. Rumor goes that Mr.. Slide has had an inter-
view with the Emperor, from which be Issued ra'
dant Whether or not he did have said interview,
can't sav or guess No doubt, if he did attain 70 IT,
that it was made personally agreeable to him. HIS
Majesty treats any one under his roof like gentle
man. Would do ~ much for Mr. Dayton; did 90 as
much for John Archbishop of New-York.
Now that Mr.. Slidel is established here, Mr.. Rost,
his predecessor in representing the G. s. A. as near
% possible to the Court Of the Tueries, goes 10
Madrid.
One Mr. Lambert, Commissioner to European
Courts from King Rudama of Madagascar is arrived,
and has been well received by Ministers. His
Majesty sent to him, in advance of his arrival at
Paris, the decoration Of the Legion Of Honor. Still
harping on diplomatic representatives the Aindnach
de Gotha for this year, just published, records Mr.
Chandler az ours near the Court Of bis Majesty Fran
els ii. of Naples. Per contra, the same Almanach
de Gotha sets down Victor Emanuel as King Of
Italy.
More essentially per CONTRA if possible in another
but not quito dssimiar connection is the renewed
attempt of Austrian Emperor Franz Josef to set up
for Liberal: that is. to be more liberal than the
King Of Prussis-whch is not much after all. and is
still less when we consider that the mutual liberal
bids Of these two Soveregns are made with view
win the wavering craftsmanship Of the other little
German Sovereignr. 1t is only new phase Of the
: miserable old play of Austria and Prussia for su-
premacy in the German Confederation Neither
party has any higher impeling principle than dy-
nastic jealousy Of the other. Both Of these beated
}, gentlemen believe in common divine right to mis-.
! rule. and in a common diabolic right to pretend a
liberalism which in their hearts and purposes they

I Mrs. Kew Blunt, daughter think OF Francis

Banner has been reading these late past evenings.

Slavery poets. Mrs. Il. does her best No one could
os more Of her, She does not select for elocuonary
purposes those poems Of LoDgfeow and Shelley that
are condemned South Of the Potomac. She does not

seems to be very meritorious, somewhat expansive,
ratherish ady-like semi-artlstc artist Like most
: mertorous pereons' who do art, she is rather
mertorous than artistic. No impartial person who
la heard her readings can deny that they might be
r worse; no ingenious person who ever heard Fanny
Kernble or ever passed an evening at the Francas
$ or the Odeon the Gymnsse, who has over heard
one of the rst bes, fifty actors actresses OF the

better il Mrs. X. Blunt only knew how to make
, them better. QH'imp0rte? They are cleverish IN
