London and Paris Journals on Mediation
PARIS, January 2S.-In my letter Of TuAs
day last, [ alluded t. the recent dispatch ON
American Affairs, of N. Drouyn de LHuvs
which, on Wednesday, was officially published
in the Moniteur The renewed essay Of tho
Imperial Government to arrive at means Of
bringing the war in America TO an end, has, Of
course, excited universal attention in France
and England, and every political journal Of the
two capitals has devoted, at least, one leading
article to an examination Of the document To
resume, in few words, the opinion Of the
English press, it is only necessary to say that
they look upon this fresh effort of France with
ill-dsguised resentment, which they manage
to express IN indirect terms, by pronounrng
the dispatch Labor thrown away. The Times
says the step taken By the French government
observes our favorable consideration though
we see no reason to regret that we were not par
ties to it. We have preferred, throughout, to
err on the side of non interference, and to bear
the silly imputatlon OF desire to see that great
Republic Of the y est torn in pieces by mites
tine discord rather than undertake the slight
est responsibility for It's destines. .
The Post thinks the North is not III frame
of mind to open negotiations on the basis Of
recognizing the independence Of the South,
arguing that on no other terms is peace posi-
ble Therefore, ''tle Federal government will,
perhaps, thank France for her kind Offices, but
Will still go on raising armies, building ships,
and printing notes. The South will recognizes
in tile course taken by the French government,
desire to see her independence speedily es
tablished, aid will, Doubtless, keep it in kindly
membrance.
The Post is further inclined to believe that,
if his proposal is rejected, the Emperor will
do something very despeyate-as ''he is begin
ming to manifest, BY unmistakable signs, that
his patience is we'll nigh exhausted
The Herald heartily endorses the dispatch:
the Wing ministry for not going further than
France, by acknowledging the South, out-and.
out, and breaking the blockade. The Star docs
sition Implying the recognition Of the South.
lition has arrived at this conclusion:
"No reasonable man in2agineS that after
what has happened, and under present circui-
stances the North ana South can come to
terms. The irepressible conflict, now that
it has broken out into war, cannot be suppress
edit must be quenched In blood The con-
quest OF the South or permanent separation Is
inevitable. s."
The Telegraph and Advertiser think the su?g~
gestion Of the Emperor destined to remain
without effect.
Thus much for the London press. The Pans
journals present some contrasts OF opinion a.
to the effect Of the dispatch, while unanimous.
" hoping that it may have fair chances OF sue
cess.

LETTER FROM NORFOLK.

is daily detected. The offender is sent to Fort
Norfolk, and his goods conf5cated and sold at
auction
The old rumor Of Gen. Viele having been
SUI erseled, has again made It's appearance IN
the papers. All here know that Gen. King
has long desired to be placed at Norfolk, but
as the government is quite satisfied with ever
thing here as it is, the change has not yet been
effected; at least Gen Dix or Gen. Viele know
nothing of the change, and it is generally re-
garded as chronic newspaper report. Gen
King has been appointed.
The few farmers in the suburbs of Norfolk,
who are left to till the ground this season, will
reap an abundant harvest There are but few
left to plant, and the demand for vegetables
and corn is necessarily very large. A fortune
might be thus reaped this coming season by
any enterprising market gardener. Provis-
ions of this kind are scarce and very dear,
most of them being brought from the Balti-
more market.
Dir. Brown, who has charge Of the Contra
band Department on Craney Island, has taken
possession Of some vacant lands, and purposes
to employ contrabands in cultivating early vege-
tables Gen. Dix has given him power to DO
his best with them.
Even the most humane and philanthropic
persons who come here must acknowledge that
the negroes are very trying; they do not like
to work, even with the incentive OF wages
The many instances of impertinence to the
whites on their part multiply daily. No one
can fail to pity both tie whites and blacks in
these parts as the warm weather approaches
THE broom BRIGADE of contrabands with
their brooms shoves and carts, are again busy
in keeping the streets clean and the city health

The iron-clads THAT have been here repairing
at the Navy Yard have left and are now all

There are at present quite large number
