Through ths Northern papers We have later
| saViees from Europe
| 1he most Interesting feature Of the intelli-
genoe from Earope is q runor 70 tie eject that
France has decided upon an early rpeoguitiop
of the ConfeeeTste States, and is nov confsrriny
with the British government on that step. yi.h
= view Of securing, if possible, Eugland's az
lance IN tho matter. Whether this rumor Il
worth anything, OF is bat repetition Of what
we have heard for every sixty dsys since tie
war began, is 8 problem for the resdsr 30 solve
1 for himself The story seems 20 have originated
Il this wise. On the arrival Of the last steamer
| rom Europe, beGrsr Of dispatches from Mr..
| Dayton, the United States Minister to France,
/ pFOceedt Immediately to Washington, taking
| the very earliest train after his landing. The
said bearer Ct dispatches is said to have been
| communicative Of the nature Of the eommuni-
cations he bore, snd represented thsm "a an
nouReing to the GoVsTamani at Washington the
early purpose Of France to recognise the Con-
lederate States.
The ERpereT had intmssed to Mr. Dayton
that, after waiting long and patiently, he could
see 10 satistsctory evidence Of the ability OF the
Federal Government to put down the rebellion
| and restore the Unisn; that the interests Of
France c0ntinusd to suffer severely from the
| blockade and the consequent suspension Of con-
meTeial intercourse with ths Sculd; that tie
foTheersHce Of the French Government, iR that
paTtiCulsr, had been met with only hostile eriti
/ cism Of lhs EmpeTor's Mexican policy BY The
| Northern jouEnals; that tbs notes which ths
I Minister Of Foreign Affairs had recsntly re-
eeEved through tie United States Minister, in
relation to the Confederate steamers Florida aud
Georgia, ware diseoUrts51s and dietsloTial IN
tone and, finally, that il vas due to the cause
Of humanity that something should Be done By
soms power ike Fsanee, nos u1friendly to either
( beliigsEsnt, with 4 VisW Of terminating a civil
Wsr which has ragged 80 long without any def
niie results. Upon this inhmstion from the
! Emperor, Ar. Dayton dispatched q messenge eT
to his Government at Washington
1 This is the story. Whether true or rot It
seems to have excited eonsideIA5le feeling IN tie
/ North. The substance of the sboys appears ia
New York paper as : dispatch double leAdsd,
/ from Washington, and ID followed up by The
editorial declaration, On the very best snthsTi-
| tY,' that the relations between the Uuite3
States Government and France are in " a very
/ critical condition" The story, moreover, as
sumes an air of probability froIa the fact that
| the Paris correspondent of the London Post
writes to the ssms effect, and the story of Teeog-
milton seems 70 have been received both in
/ Paris and L3Edon with more confidence thar
ever.
| The Republican papers Of the North tses: the
Tamor with levity, and say lhere is 40 truth in
/ It. A dispatch from Washington, as il speak
| ing By official Authority, diseredits the whole
/ tling, and says that il is b1s meTs trick Of
cotton SPECTATORS; that "ths relations Of the
! United States with both France and England
are pssceful and harmonious, and viii be main
| tanned IS such with both powers, certainly with
| England" The North counts with certainty
/ in the case of England, and As an evidence Of
the good feeling on her part, at least, points to
the vote in the House Of Parliament on the mo-
tion for the production Of certain papers con-
carning the seizure of tie sIesm rams. This,
| the North regards, was 3 test question OF the
! feeling and actiJn Of the British Government,
and was decided with the following result: For
the motion, 153; ard sgsinst it l7S. Tnis vote,
the North urges, settles the ram question in tho
British Parliament, and adjusts > matter which
could form "the only point Of dispute which
could possibly interrupts the present peaceful re-
lstions between England and the United States"
