The following condensed translation Of an article
from the Paris Pays, Of l9.h March:
During the discus ion in the Legslatif Corps, and
while the American conflict Was being spoken OF, n Gal
RogDIt gave expression TO tome generous ideas IN
favor Of the boring classes who so seriously injured
oy the American crisis The war which is desoa-
ting the United States has caused scppige OF busin %
TO the extent Of nearly two hundred Millions n Oalnst
Rogniat said with the emotion OF man oil feeling, out
with that high which bows before the power OF
fact that the efforts of private charity aud the hoeray
of the Government cannot supply the absence OF 80 much
active industry There are no persons in France who
do not wish with all their hearts Tor the end OF the sfug
gle between the Northern and Southern States Are
these wishes much in accordance with the principles
of humanity and the interests OF Europe nearly accom-
| plishsdi We do not even dare TO hope.
At the first view il seems that the question already
determined and that there is nothing ft to the Confed
crate States but to submit The Ne" York journals iase
their songs oil victory. The English press Is not 80 uLan
imous. The commence OF mr. 'enoisou

Il Woull seem that the Confederate States are much
more closely bockaded By land than ty sea. They
import arms; they could if they would export e,ton
