REALIZING THE FACE.

The New York Tribune says:
1t is impossible to read the accounts OF The re-
cent daring and successful Confederate raids in the
very heart of both Tennessee aud Kentucky, di-
reety in the of the main body of Gene ral Hal

A YANKEE VIEW OF The PROBABILITY OF INTER
VEETI0N.
The Paris correspondent OF the New York Times
writes thus, July 9Th, about Intervention
NJ de Persigay, who was at Saturdays council
for the first time since lis return from England, and
who came home SO thoroughly secessionist it is
said, as to recommend boldly and without hesta
ton TO the Emperor recognition OF the South IA
vored the increase OF the expedition, and laid down
the theory that the Nerth tired of the war,
ana so far away from the end they had set out to
attain, that if France, with u formidable force IN
Mexican waters as a menace, wo;lid recngnize the
South, the North would seize this HI pretext to
voluntarily relax the blockade so lar as 70 allow
the exit of cotton, and perhaps even to make peace
with the South.
Now, although it is almost impossible that
sensible man as II Persigny could advocate such
an nsensate policy it il yet fact That the four pa
pers which the Government controls--ihe M0atteur

lie mind for unlookedf for events IN America. The
Moniseuy talks for the first tiine but III mild way
of the slow progress Of the Union arms and of the
probable inpossiolity OF subjugating the South;
the PGtrie has taken up the mediation question
again. and treats the question aboriousiy, and with
Its usual want of trut the Constitutional the es-
pccial organ of NJ Persgny, fairly bols over it'll
nalignity, fasehood and unfair citations; the Pays
follows in the wake OF the Constitutional, OF
which it is only an appendage. and from which il
differs only in lis greater ignoraHes OF the ques-
tions 1t treats.
Now it may be that the French Government has
come to the conclusion that the Government Of the
United States is weak and exhausted and that,
while protesting to be neutral they can bully us

Il quite another thing from tue press in England
