Correspondence of the New York Times.
Our Relations with France.

The MonitetsT de aTnlee. the official mill
tary paper of the French Government, con-
tains a paragraph in its issue OF the 2lst
| inst. which am told was inserted by su-
perior order, and which conceals, under a
simple form, an evil design sgainst the Gov
eminent Of tho United States. The para
graph reads thus:
'CHIHA-Our private correspondence
from China is to the 18th of December.-
By il we learn that the officers Of the Eng
lish navy who taken service IN the Chinese
navy, had broken their engagements and
left for Bombay, taking with them the war
vessels constructed in the ports OF Great
Britain on Chinese account. The chinese
Government, in this dilemma, ordered to
be bought in America, q certain number OF
ounboats. which are to arrive about the mid
die of February at Petchi-li, and which
are TO be used in the blockade Of Nankin.
Il was decided that several other vessels
sbould be ordered from the private ship
builders of France. Among these vessels
ara two euirasssd fIigases, which are to form
thu bass of the new Chinese tiset."
The work on the Confederate vessels at
Bofdeaux and Nantes goes Cd, and this tu-
Misunderstanding note Of the Moniteur de
ay.aee "a said to be intended to prepare the
way for the sortie Of these vessels when hn d.

poiut tnp official army paper IS having ID
5icat.d thai they were intended for China,
and that the coafodsrases bought and turn

its ends, and IL may be that this paragraph
Of the M0nitesT de srsses. is printed VIVID

There is but one class of persons who, be-
come so low aud disgusting in their use OF
language as clergymen who have abandon
ed the pulpit for politics, and become hun
CRY Office ekers; we 10 can nynphs du pave.
At meeting in Norombega Hall last Tues
dav night, the Rev. DR.. Tefft is reported in
The Wing as having used the following
language:
ut 1.-THE wsrl had already changed old
conserv alive Wings aud Democrats into
practical A bolitionists, and would bury Cop
perheads so deep, morally, socially, and
politically, that when the Archangel Ga
bril- came to wake the dead, he would have
TO give two extra blasts Of his trumpet to
reach their ears"
Itmsy be well to remind the public that
the above is the same DIR. Tefft, who four
years ago was represented as being left in a
very destitute condition by the abolition SITS
of the Brick Chapel, on account of his De-
mocracy. An appeal was made to those
very men in Bangor whom he now so freely
denounces as "copperheads," and they
generously came forward and made DR..
Tefft contribution of several hundred dol
lars in money and goods.
Verify, there is yet occasion for the repe-
ton OF the fable of the husbandman who
warmed the frozen snake in his bosom.

General Butter-Exchange efPrisoners
In the Confederate Senate, January le.
hr. Maxwell, of Florida, submitted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
RESOLVED, by The Congress of the Confederate
STATE, Of america, That the action of the
Confederate authorities having in chargethe
matter Of the exchange of prisoners declin-
ing to treat with General B. F. Butter in
relation thereto, is cordially approved by
Congress; and the selection Of such a per-
son, wko 10 Justly outlawed by the Presi-
dent Of the Confederate States, and who is
held In odinm not more by the people of
these States than by the people of all civil
li1ed countries, is regarded as an act Of
petty spite on the part Of the Governm ent
Of the United States, and as an indication
Of It's purpose covertly to embarrass and
avoid the further exchange OF prisoners on
any reasonable terms.
2. That the government ofthe Confeder-
ate States lie, and at all times has been ready
TO make q fair exchange Of prisoners, ac-
Gording TO the cartel, and is prepared to re-
sume negotiations to that end whenever
met BY Commissioner or Agent Of the
United States nosspecislly obnoxious to the
people of these States.

10 one Of Uncle Sans black soldiers. a
number Of ladies and men got on board the
train at Bushnell, and on finding there were
no vacant seats for all the former, several
negroes who were snugly enscoused on the
cushions were requested to give the ladies
their seats. This they refused to do. pro-
uably acting on the advise of their republi-
can friends not to give up their seats to any
white person. Among those who requested
the niggers to move were some several SOL
diers, who were at home on furlough. The
latter was determined that the niggers
should git and on one of the latter becom-
ing impudent, soldier drew his revolver
and would have shot the black scoundrel
drel dead, had it not been knocked to one
side by a man standing near. The niggers
then vacated, and quiet was soon restored

A most exciting scene is said to have
taken place in the French Senate, short
time since on the discussion upon the adj
dress to the Emperor. The Marquis de
Boissy criticised the conductof the Govern
msnt in manner that so astounded M >.
Troplong, the President, aud the M Ministers,
that they almost lost their senses, and quite
lost their presence of mind. The Marquis
undertook to warn the Emperor. that as
Louis XVI, did not leave the crown to his
sor, as the liking OF Rome" did not succeed
to the FIRST Emperor Of France, as the crown
of his ancestors did not descsnd to the Duke
of Bordeaux, and as the Count OF Paris still
lives in exile wbers Lou 10 Philippe died
so the Prince Imperial would not succeed to
the throne of, Napoleon III. unless thai
oyereign were better advised.

6TThe Rev. Sidney Smith once said. in
writing of kissing. 1--WE are in favor of a
certain degree of sbyness when kiss is
proposed but it should not be continued too
long; and when the fair one gives it, let it
be administered with energy. Let their
soul be in it. If she closes her eyes, and
signs deeply Immediately after it, the effect
is greater. She sho'd be careful not to
slobber kiss, but give it as humming bird
runs bis bill into hoDey-suckle-deepb but
delicate. There is much virtue in kiss
when we'll delivered. We have had the
memory of one we received 10 our youth,
which has lasted Us forty years, and we be-
lieve it will be one of To last things we will
think of when we die"
