GREAT BRITAIN. The Paris cores
pendent of the London Morning Pest,
Gays it is not true, as some journals rep
resent, that ths French govern't has taken
any steps 70 bring about reconciliation
between the North and tho South. Mr..
Massey, M. r, delivered a speech to his
constituents at Sanford, in which he adj
vocatsd that the European powers should
interfere to close the struggle between
the North and the South by recognizing
the Confederate States aud breaking the
blockade. The speech attracted great at,
t.ntiOn.
The London Times, i'm an editorial upon
it says, let France interfere if she likes,
England's true policy is to suffer little
longer and let the event work itself out.
Il will not be long. 1t may be indeed
doubtful whether our Interference would
not rather retard than hasten the desired
event Of open ports and large supply Of
cotton. Let us then pursue our honest
policy BY standing quite aloof.
The Manchester Guardian argues in
somewhat similar strain, and as regards
the cotton supply, it says ills question
how far in this district the prevailing dis
tress is due to the civil war in America,
and whether it is not as much attributable
10 over production az to the mere dearth OF
cotton. The factory statistics of Man
chester show that the shortening of the
hours of lator in the factories is gradually
extending, and in the course Of a week or
two the movement was expected to become
much more general and extensive.
Tho London Times publishes letter
from correspondent calling attention 10
the fact that the Federal gunboat Tusca-
rora has infringed and continues to infringe
upon the rules Vt neutrality at Southamp-
ton, and calling upon the government to no
longer tolerate such fragrant disregard
Of neutral rights.
The brig West Indian, Capt. Foote.
from Charleston, Dec. 4th, with cargo
Of turpentine, had arrived at Liverpool.
Her Captain reports that the Federal
blockade of Charleston is anything but
ehectual, and says that the stone blockade
so far from stopping the entrance to the
port will eventually deepen the shallow
channels. The citizens of Charleston
have very little uneasiness on the subject
1t was represented that Charleston was
well defended, and between that city and
Gen. Lee had about 10000
troops under his command. A London
letter in the Paris Patrie asserts that the
British government will protest against
the measure for declaring the Southern
ports closed against foreign commerce.
After strenuous exertions access had
been gained to part Of the Hartley cool
mine and about one hundred Of the tbs
buried miners had been discovered. Il
was feared the remainder would be found
dead.
FRANCE. - Paris Moniteur Of 22nd
publishes Minister Faulks Budget in the
shape of al Address to the Emperor
Mr. Fanlk's report caused great excitement
on the bourse and funds declined con-
siderable; at theIclose. however, there was
some recovery. Kentes quoted 69f 90c
a decline on the day of about ! per cent.
The London Times congratulates Eu-
rope that the military force Of France now
bids fair to shrink TO reasonable Limits
Let it be once understood thatFrance has
no desire to disturb the tranquility Of her
neighbors and the industry Of Central
Europe will shoot up and flourish with
. vigor not to be surpassed in the new
world.
