The ArasrIcaa War ia Franes.

From Paris Letter IN : northern papsrl
PARIS, May q, 1864 Another telegram by
the City of Washington, and smother By the
Belgian, have maintained and even added to the
sensation created By the preceding ones, with
out. however, even yet affording Us conclusive
eyidencs of the final result. But still the i'd
ings are that the North advances and the South
retires; aud so long ss the movement continues
in the right direction, 50 leng viii eonfdsnee in
tho Federal arms eontinus in the ascendant
We sre now also assured Of the success Of
Gen. Sherman at Dalton On the whole, ecnf-
dsnce here il strong in the cause and valor of
the Union and its armies, and in ihe belief that
this last and terrible effort to qusl the rebellion
viii prove irresistible. There IL but ore voice
but one opinioR as to the almost superhuman
vigor and tsnseiiy with which Gen Grant hiss
clung TO the rstrestiog foe, and allowed him no
respite after such tIemsndous conflicts. Even
shs London journalS-eyel the TInss iisslf-is
compelled to admit shs siUpend0us resolution
and determination Of purpose which hss been
exhibited and to confess that the Northern forces
and their leaders do, indeed, sequit themselves
like man who have sworn 10 do or die. Awful
as have been the events Of the campaign and
fssrf1i the cArnsge, the beroism exhibited has
gilded even the frightful details, and drawn all
eyes in admiratiOn to its devotedEss5
These tremendous incidents of The American
conflict have occupied public attention more
completely and exclusively fTem the total ab-
ssncs Of all matter Of interest in European af-
fairs As the M0Hitsur observes this morning,
everything is in a complete state Of stigma
ton" Nothing can exceed the universal state
of uneasinssB Of the public mind with respect
70 the SehlesWig Holstein question, aud firmly
believe that almost any solution would be
thankfully accepted which would nd Us of tie
loathsoms subject altogether. Tbs whole mat
ter may be summed up Is the most pitiful dis
play of Injustice and rapacisy on thu one side,
and Of pusiIIsninisy and time serving on ihs
other, which has ever been exhibited By the
nations Of Europe.
On all sides the policy pursued has been mis-
srsble and disgTAeeful In the highest degree.
Two Of the greatest military powers Of the Old
World have bulled, worried and tOTmentsd one
of tho very smallest, and, baTiag beaten il
s0Tely by aid of an overwhelming superiority
have celebrated their victory % with rsjoics
ings ss cruel and shameful as they wsre sa-
prsmsly ridiculous. And while this disgrAeeful
scene was snactiug, the other Powers Of Eu-
rope" as they call themselves, (iHeHs G H0R Iu-
condo, J have looked On, snd, frem g miserable
combination Of se6shnsss, timidisY and isal-
-ousy, Slowed al this wrong to be psrpetrstsd
indirect violation of their own solemn engage
ments.
Let Us hear no mora nonsense about tie
" faith of treaties when England, France and
Russia stand by and see their signatures thus
torn to shrsds before their eyes, without pre-
tending or desiring in sny degree to enter upon,
much less to decide, the tiresome and compli-
Gated sntanglsRent Of Danish snd Germsn
rights and wrongs, and dynRstiss and success
cons. Plan common sense and feeling are
enough to decide that the war has been unjust
aud cruel, and the conduct Of it more unjust
and cruel still
The opinion which seems to prevail for tho
moment is, that there will be division Of terri
tory, and that part Of Schleswig and Holssein
will be given to Germany, while the remainder
of sehlesWig viii be joined to Denmark in per-
petuity.
