Correspondence of the London POST
PARIS, Sept. 80
The seizure OF the two vessels of war building
in England for the CoQederate government. and
Eafl Russel's speech on American affairs, Al
Biairgowrie, have additionally drawn the atten-
ton OF the French government to American
affairs, and NAV produce change of policy t.

place before your readers the conduct of the
French government toward America from the
breaking out OF the civil war, and then refer to
what is now taking place. The Emperor and his
advisers considered that il would be best to watch
the conduct of Great Britain, presumng that Her
Majesty's government knew well how to treat
with judgment and justice any international diff
cultles that might arise, and that France might
follow. IL resulted. therefore. that when neu
traty decided upon, France adopted the
policy of England Again. when your govern
ment demanded the restoration of the COnieier
ate ENJOYS, France backed your demands The
Cabinet of the Tueres and the Cabinet at Lon
don have kept up friendly intercourse on Amer
lean affairs and their respective Ministers At
Washington, and Consuls of the two countries in
America generally, have acted in harmony and
lent mutual support To each other.
A period arrived when the Emperor, acting
from motives of beEevolence, and desiring To
serve the manufacturing interests of France, made
an effort To bring about negotions between the
North arHl South, in order TO suspend cruel aud
bloody hostilities which not only desolated
America, but brought misery to the door OF many
thousands OF the industrial population of the Old
World. The British Government was invited to
join France in these peace seeking representa-
tons; but the statesmen OF England thinking
that they knew the spirit that prevailed on the
other side of the Atlantic between North and
South, considered such a proceeding, however
praiseworlhy, utterly useless, and cacul,ted
rather to- increase irritation than produce the effect
desired. The Emperor. nevertheless. deter
mined TO make the attempt, and all the world
knows the result. On this subject both govern
mentS thought alike, and the endeivors OF the
Emperor was applauded. Mr.. Slide came to

with the Emperor, and visited occasionally the
French Foreign Office; but on the whole the
Southern Envoy at Paris has had much less in
tercourse with official personages than the South
ern Envoy sent to London. France. like Eng

the South. though not to the extent OF similar
transactions on your side of the water. The Con-
