From the Paris Prcsse, Februarye.l
America has fatigued us for a long
time past with monstrous kilograms, de-
scribing bloody operations, or sterile
movements Of armies. All at once,
however, two important pieces OF news
arrive to break the fastidious monotony
of the military bulletins: First. New
efforts are making between the bellIge>
rents for the re- establishment OF peace.
Second. The Senate of Washington, in
the chapter of the budget relative to the
allowance Of consuls, substituted Tor the
word "Mexico," these other two very
significant ones, "Mexican republic"
These two facts are connected with
each other, and touch Europe directly.
If we look ut the situation entirely from
our own points Of view we can but ses
| in it the result of an inconsequencc, the
inevitable expiration Of fault. But
what good will be produced by retro
spective recriminatons We must take
higher ground. The Monroe doctrine is
more alive than ever in America !; it has
been permitted to sleep during the war
we are seeing now it's stormy awakening
The day is not, then, far distant when
the whole of Europe ought to unite and
turn all its pre-occupations towards
America. Solemn hour-gigantic strug
gle which will bring the two continents
face to face!
From the Paris Patre.
That the feeling of discomfort agains
us is strong in America we know; tina
this discomfort may have grave conse'
quences we foresee; but that which may
happen will be still less unfortunate thar
what would have happened if Franc
alone, recognizing the South, had no
only brought upon it the North, but ha'
exposed itself to Anglo~Russian in
trigues.
The consequences of the America
irritation will equally affect all Europe
and it is for this reason that we strongl
doubt that, in face Of an adversary Gale
Europe, the American States will drea1
of following the bellicose counscls whic
the journals which We have cited civ
them.

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.

The foreign mails received by the
City of Dublin and North American arc
to the Sth instant.
FORT FISHER.
The London journals publish elaborate
accounts of the capture Of Fort Fisher.
The same steamer that took out the news
of General Terry's victory conveyed the
report of General Buffers speech at
Lowell-a coincidence upon which the
Daily Neacs comments. 1t is added,
however, that the explanations Of Gene
raj Butler are interesting as giving some
knowledge of the difficulties Of the OK
plot. The Neecs says:
On the whole, though it is difficult to
anticipate all that may follow from this
success, the difficulty is rather from the
number of consequences than from any
doubt of the importance of any of them.
In it's results it is blow as staggering
to the Confederate rule as that which
delivered Savannah to its new masters.
The Times says:
The energy with which this enterprise
has been prosecuted is creditable to the
military administration at Washington.
- Thus, after long and laborious
exertions, and an expense equal to that
incurred in many European wars, the
Federals may be said to have almost sue
ceeded in shutting in their enemies from
communication with the European world.
The South has gradually lost port after
port, and though cargoes will continue
to be landed in obscure places along
those hundreds of miles of coast, yet
the blockade will be as effective as it is
in the nature of such an operation to be-
1t will be seen then how far the South
is capable of doing without that with
which England has hitherto furnished it.
