| Game UP.
| The motion made the other day in the
rebel Congsess for the recall of Msssrs. Mason
and Slidel, leads us to be infer that JEFF. Davis
and his colleagues have lost all hope as to tho
recognition Of the South by England and
France. This being the case, it becomes Gu
rions to trace the influences by which step
which several times seemed 30 near accom-
plishment has been finally defeated. These
are so fully set forth in the letters from our
Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg correspon-
dents, particularly from Paris, which we pub
lish ia another part Of to-day's paper, that
our readers will find no difficulty in arriving
at clear comprehension of them.
We gather therefrom that whereas, at the
commencement of the American rebellion Eng
land was eager to recognize the South, Napo-
leon hesttated to join her in q course Of action
he deemed premature, and that he turned q
deaf ear to all Palmerston's energetic represen-
tations as to the feasibility of immediate action
in favor of the South. The complications of the
Mexican question, however changed Napoleon's
ideas upon the subject; and, as he foresaw that
at some future time he might come in contact
with the United States government in Mexico,
he signifed to the st. James Cabinet the change
of opinion he had undergone upon the subject
of the recognition of the seeded States. He
found, however, that, whereas his mind was
changed, Lord Palmerston had in like manner
altered his opinion. England no longer cared
to recognize the South, and her ministers ex-
pressed determination to keep aloof from all
Intervention. The roles were changed, and
France now became urgent for joint action in
favor Of the South. England has remained deaf
to the representations upon that subject not
only of M. de Thouvenel, M. de Lavalette, NJ
de Persigny, but also to the reiterated demands
of the Emperor himself.
Our correspondent gives some interesting de-
tails as to the movements of Slidell. 1t will be
observed that he contradcts the late rumors as
to that worthy's audience with Napoleon and
the reported acquiescence Of the Emperor in
Slidell's arguments.
From st. Petersburg we are in receipt of an
important communication as regards the late
rumor of Russian mediation at the instigation
of France and England. Our correspondent
states that M. de Thouvenel, at the request of
Earl Russell, made overtures to Russia to in
duce her to act in favor of peace but, as her
measures were to be with view to the separa-
tion of the contending parties, Russia would not
act. We believe that our correspondent is
mistaken as to any move in tho matter having
been made by Earl Russell. France has alone
endeavored to procure the assistance of Russia
by proffers of service or aid in the settlement of
the question d d'Orient"
Our Berlin correspondent seems to think that
the Italian question would force Prussia to side
with the South. We think there is unmis-
taxable error in this view of the case. The
Italian question, if 1t had assumed larger pro-
portions by the success of Garibaldi, would
have compelled Europe-as it did, in fact-to
| drop the American question entirely. But the
Italian danger is not wholly over yet, and we
may be sure for the present that in dealing with
the American rebellion, 'as goes England, so
goes Prussia" The line of the Rhine is the
chronic fear of Prussia, and that is sufficient
| for US.
All further speculations in the matter seem
now at an end, from the acknowledgment con-
veyed in the motion for the recall Of the South
ern ENJOYS that their mission is failure. To
use sporting phrase, Intervention is a "dead
cock in the pit, and the rebel leaders will have
| to beat about for some other means of bolster
| ing up the courage of their dupes.
