THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY -, 1865
PARIS LETTER. WRITER'S

A Paris letter, published in the North
ern papers two weeks ago, furnishes a
report that France and England intend,
after the 4th Of March next, to recognize
Lincoln as the President of the Northern
States, and to recognize the South as an
independent nation.
We have not word to say against the
Paris letter>writers. We recognize their
independence without hesitation. They
are Independent in their income, and
have never owed allegiance to truth or
probabilities at any time. a more COM
Portable berth than that of Paris letter
writer for London journal is not easily
found. Paris is not a dear city. Twenty
years ago letter-writer could live quite
comfortably there for twenty dollars q
month. The salary even of subordinates
was three guincas a week. Expenses
are heavier in Paris now, but salaries
have probably risen. Four hours day
would be large allowance of work for
them, and the remainder of the twenty
four hours is disposabIe for loafng and
lying. In such a city as Paris, young
men of education, who have found the
bar in England a rather rough and
,oilsome way Of climbing to distinction
find no difficulty in refreshing themselves
after the arduous labors of their cores
pondence, and leading, on the whole, a
luxurious and effervesccnt life.
OF course, they are expected to render
a Qutd pro quo; not to be altogether
lilies of the vallcy-to be useful not less
than ornamental. The English break
fast table, with its tea and toast, would
furnish mcagre entertainment but for
side dishes Of gossip and scandal set
forth by the newspaper. The letter
writer's are expected to entertain Mr..
Bull with sensation before he goes to
Change. Public affairs and private
affairs must be served hot, smoking and
savory. There is no such chef dc cuisine
in all Paris as "Our Own Correspond
ent." He will make the best OF soups
out of bones, and convert frog into a
chicken. We remember an ottache of a
London press, who visited the Confede-
racy in the beginning Of the war. Up to
that time, we had supposed no one could
approach an American letter-writer in
fishing up minnows, and, by fertility of
genius, Transforming them into whales.
This Englishman beat our American
news-hunters at their own weapons. His
pen had the flexibility of an elephants
trunk, and could pluck geranium or
pull up tree with equal facility. We
do not know what has become of him.
He deserved to be promoted to the Paris
letter staff.
The Paris letter-writers do not earn
their bread in idlcness. They manage
the affairs of all Europe. They have
uninterrupted access to all the Cabinets,
especially the Cabinet of Louis Napoleon.
That impassivc and inscrutable monarch,
whose purposes the shrewdcst diploma
lists endeavor in vain to fathom, unbo-
SONS himself with the artlcssness of a
child to the Paris letter-writcrs. In their
presence he relaxes that grim secretive-
moss which his own ministers often fail to
unlock, and, in strict secrecy between gen
tlemen, you know, relieves his burthened
