From the Richmond Enquirer
E-ScCEnitEOn.

Rumors very curreDt yesterd Y, that France
had recognized the Confederate States iEdepen-
dent nationality, and entitled to be received such
among tbs nations o the earth. Notwithstanding the
various concurrent sources through which the inelli
gence alleged to have arrived, could discover
respectable Foundation for it. Indeed have
to be assured that neither our government nor
have received such Information Tie rumor comes
through the sir.
We are ilcnCd to the opinion that, not only is it
not known to he true but that it is really not true,
that France has, yet taken such action. The En-
peror and the English Government have hitherto been
acting in full conference and accord on the American
question. We lave no evidence that this unity has
been Interrupted, France and England are, undoubt-
edly both very restless under the American war; and
great sufferers by it. They are probably about to
adopt active policy in reference to it. Mer-
cier's visit to Richmond meant something, Lyons's
visit to London means something.
They are eyes and of their respective govern
ments, and France and England want now to under
stand the whole case, for they contemplating a
change OF attitude. The English ministry, too i'm
PEELED to il by political ssy Their opponents,
who the re1dS OF the Southern Conederacy, want
but few votes of majority in Parliament. A few
weeks more Of TIE American war-tbe stoppage Of q
ent popular dstress-will hur them from their seats
uoles5 they change their policy. We believe that the
change is coming both there and in France but we do
| not think it has Cnte come in etcr. What we want
is little patience; bat what want still is
manly self reliance and courageous and energetic
OF cur military strength against the enemy. A few
grand victories will win for the welcoming hail of all
nations, aud viii open for the portals of peace Let
