Recognition.

The Montreal correspondent Of tae T'id7
unc writes as follows:.
A few days ago letter dated at Paris
was received here by Sanders from A. Dud-
ley Mann, with accompanying dispatchr,a
for the rebel government. conveying the
assurance that Napolean had determsneds
either with or without the CO cooperation of
Great Britain. to recognize the Confedcracy
soon after the re installation Of MIR. lin
coin This intelligence, Of course, has
made all the rebels who have been treated
TO it very jub,lant.
The letter from Mann HAD net been III
more than eight and forty hours, before s.
rumor obtained currency and created no
little excitement among the natives, that
the French and British Governments, ac>
ting in concert. would recognize the Cou-
fedoracy Immediately after the 9TH
March next.

The Abolition Question liz Congress.

The Abolition Question In Congress.
The bill for the abolition of slavery is
still up in the Yankee House. On Tues
day.
MIR Fernando Wood (N.w York; dis
cussed at length the want Of power aud the
impohcy of amending the Constitution in
the way proposed In the course of his re
marks he said he should, or q future occa
sion, speak upon the condition of the coun
try and attempt to elucidate the following
propositions :.
First. A tribute to the intense spirit of
nationality which pervades ell classes at the
North.
Second. Sympathies with the Northern
people, and a review Of his efforts III be-
half of their prosperity and happiness, and
his struggles to prevent our war and its
consequent horrors.
Third. A reiteration of his belief that
the South cannot be compelled to submit to
sectional Northern Government, and that
even if reduced to guerrilla warfare, which
is not probable, they can hold the Southern
country and render it valucless for at least
half century.
Fourth An exposition of the Jcffersoni;
an principles Of the Democracy, which can
not be too often repeated to the people, that
they may see how smoothly, how harmoni-
ously, the machinery Of the grand fabric of
the fathers would move on if these teachings
were not ignored and forgotten. =
Fifth. That the Democracy still behold
in the proud banner of the Union the sym
Dol Of peace, and still labor for cessation
of hostilities determined, if possible, to
rescue the sweet spirit of Union ere it per-
ish amid the carnage and vengeance Of civil
war.
Sixth That if the Southern States will
return to the Union, the Northern States or
people will, in turn, recognize, by constitu-
tional amendment, the sovereignty and in
dependence of the Southern States over all
questions not expressly delegated to the
General Government
Seventh. That thereupon the Northern
and Southern people shall pledge them-
selves to hearty support of measures,
peaceable or foroible, for the acquisition of
Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and the freedom of
Ireland.

Cen'l sherman On Slavery

From gentleman who had several con
situations with Gen. Sherman recently, the
Augusta Constitutonalist learns, he says
slavery will exist in the South after the
conclusion of peace, let the war terminate
as it may that Lincoln's proclamation in
reference to its abolition are simply means
for the restoration of the Union, that the
Supreme Court have, nor will not sustain
him, neither will the Federal Government
attempt to abolish slavery, but will leave II
to the States returning to the Union to
settle it, and that he Sherman] expects to
own thousand slaves in the South one Of
these days.
He represents Sherman as being a thor
ugh fanatic upon the subject ofrestoring the
'glorious Union.

parliament was opened by the Royal

said her Majesty remains steadfastly neu-

satisfaction in giving her sanction to q
Conference and. meeting of delegates from
the Canada Assembly at Quebec, and the
r rs which were adopted for a
closer union of those provinces under a

the Provincial Legislature, bill will be

confirm the report that the steam ram
Olinde, recently off the coast of France, is
a Confederate cruiser. A large number
