The intervention News.

The following respecting this subject is
taken from the Philadeh,hia Enquirer, which
quotesAa Washington letter to the New York
Tribune, to the effect, ..tllat the l:lte foreign
news confirms the belief that the French En-,
pererN designs to persist. in his mediation
scheme, even if he has to proceed alone"
The Enquirer then remarks:
So we'll informed does this latter cores
pendent profess to be, that he gives the pro-
positions 70 be presented in the letter Of. the
French Minister with considerable particu-
larity. The prefer of mediation by Napo-
leon, he says, twill be accompanied by a.let-
ter from Drouyn de u Hugs, stating in sub
stance that the Emperor believes the PROPOSE,
ton Of an armistice an act in no way i1iu-
rions to the interests and honor of the United
States, but. on the contrary, eminently useful:
that it is not his intention to press it upon the
Federal Government, which alone can deter
mine the time when the friendly office, of
France may. be accepted: but that the Presi-
dent must be aware that any protracted re-
fusal Of her offers would necessitate the En-
peror to listen to the Southern representa-
tives. whose propositions for recognition have
hitherto been rejected, because he has always
entertained the hope of seeing our difficulties
amicably settled and the Union restored
The official communication will conclude oy
stating that the French government expects
that Mr.. Lincoln will nlaturely consider the
peculiar situation in which it is placed, and
also take into consideration the usages and
customs established in the cases referred to in
his proposition by writers on International
law"
The Enquirer" says that the concluding
sentence of the foregoing paragraph has quite
a diplomatic twang. It is very courteous yet
very significant Mr.. Lincoln is expected to
take into consideration the uses and customs

the entire article:
Anotser Proposition for Mediation to be made

The Asia arrived yesterday, with three days
later news from Europe. We learn that the
Emperor Of the French, will address another
circular to the courts Of England and Russia
upon the necessity of immediate mediation or
intervention in the affairs of this country
We are not inclined to believe that either Of
these Powers will return more favorable an
swer to Napoleon than was made to his first
demand Of similar nature; but we deem the
fact Of his making this second proposal most
significant of an evil intent towards our
union.
1t is, we fear, the last move before the re-
cognition by France alone of the Davis Govern
