Paper.

Nrw YoBk, Jan. 29.-The Associated Press
are advised from Washington that the paper
combination are actively endeavoring to prevent
any legislation for our relief, either in obtaining
. reduction or suspension Of duty on paper. We
also believe the combination wish to put up the
price of paper almost at WILL and the fear Of our
getting foreign paper under the reduction Of
duty, only now prevents the exercise of this
power. When The fear 10 realized BY tie ad-
journment of Congress, We shall bs forced to pay
ruinous prices for paper.
We therefore recommend every Editor and
Proprietor, to write to bic member of Congress,
Senator and Representative, urging speedy &C :

EI-HopE AND THE CoNFEDERACY

EUROPE AND THE CONFEDERAC1.
The statement quoted in an English paper
from 'La France" Of Paris to the effect that
the Emperor had sent out instructions to Gen.
Forey to proclaim in the city of Mexico his
Majcstv's intention TO recognize this Contcdc-
racy, seems in itself improbable. That is not
likely to be the way in which Louis Napoleon
would proceed Nevertheless, the appearance
of such IN affirmation in asemi-oficial Journal
is not without meaning; and, taken in conncc-
ton with the other rumors coming to us from
Europe, it shows that the French Emperor is
still occupying himself with the question Of
cur recognition, which becomes more urgent
every day. Lord Russell, indeed, denies that
the Emperor has renewed his proposals for
Joint action to the British Government, and in
Inmates, on his own part, that British policy
on this question remains unchanged. True to
its malignant project for securing the utter
ruin of 10Th North and South, the English
Govers ut still sets down its|foos; not enough
slaughter has been done to quench its thirst
for American blood; not enough devastation,
debt and commercial embarrassment have yet
betallen to make sure of the grand object Of
English desire-the overthrow of republican
institutions and the abolition of rival mari
time power. 1t remains to be seen how long
the Emperor of the French will weakly suffer
himself to be made an accomplish in this wick
ed scheme.
As for the other statement made by an
Austrian newspaper-that Lord Palmcrston
has conceived the design e invoking the arbi-
tration of the American quarrel TO the King OF
the Belgnns: and that
provided the contending American factions
sbou!d consent to submit their differences to the
kinJs decision, the condition Of Il suspension
of hostlliilcs until the delivery Of the award
would probably DC imposed"
We attach to this no Importance whatever,
save insofar as it proves that the European
powers are becoming more and more disquct-
Ell about our affairs and anxious to see an end
of the war. There arc no american factions"
there are no differences to be submitted
there is no power that can impose upon us Il
suspension of hostilities, So long as the foot OF
an invader presses the soil of this Confcdcracy.
