they had landed us. came down the river.

thick'y covered with timber and low. scrub.

tried to shell us off. They had two pieces
OF artillery, which they brought to bear upon
us; but they Som found that we were not

The French Emperor evinccs an hon.
orable readiness 10 observe the duties Of
neutrality. 1t is reported, on the author.
ity OF Mr.. Seward. that he has stopped
every one Of the rams building in Ere nch
ports for the rebels. The decision and
promplitude of the act is even more cred

OF his determination 10 observe at least
the letter OF the law towards us. We
have on several occasions pointed out that,
30 far. no blockade runner has been found
sailing under the French flag; no rebei
prlvateer or pirate has been built or
manned in a French port, ,and the Emperor
has tolerated or permitted no act in his
subjects which might form en- inconvenient
precedent in case he or they should 90 to
war with us hereafter. This carefulness
on the part Of the French government has
been appreciated by our people. who have
no, worried with French Lairds. and who
care little how intimate Mr.. Sldell is at
the Tuiler;es. SO long as he gets nothing
more than fine words, which butter NO
parsnips.
The Emperor is not the man to oppose
himself 10 the sentiment of France, when
that is declared; aud this act may be re-
garded as proof that the people Of
France, in common with the people OF
England, are opposed TO lending any help

slavery and oppression.-N r Post.
