More good signs from France. The New York Express considers it certain that the Southern Confederate Republic will, at no distant day, receive an official recognition at the hands of the Emperor of the French. Hitherto the Republican journalists have laughed at the intimation that such might be the case, just as they laughef the Napoleonic ideas is, that the anti- slavery element, upon which the Northern geographical party exist, is but a gigantic imposition, and an imposition which France, at least, is in no humor to put up with: [extract.] "The Paris Moniteur is indignant at the increase of duties imposed by the Northern United States uponatic articles of Le Pays on behalf of the Southern Confederacy, show the direction in which the French columns are about to move. We are rejoiced to believe that France, the greatest and most chivalrous of modern empires, will, in all probability, be the first of the European Powers to acknowledge Southern Independence, whilst th

arth has practiced it, and none as much as the United States, who, during the Revolution and the late war, made it their main reliance, their "militia of the seas," as the Northern people have delighted to call it, and found it too valuable ever to surrender.--Every one must remember, that when the great powers at Paris artfully proposed to America to surrender privateering, it was universally replied by the Northern journals that, having but a small navy in comparison with those of England, France, &c., we could never surrender such an essential instrument of national self-defence. And it is only in self-defence that the South, which has no navy, will resort to this legitimate mode, fully recognized by Northern practice and defended by Northern argument, of harassing a powerful naval foe. As to the threat of hanging. now so common in coercive circles, let it never be forgotten that hemp grows in the South more abundantly than in the North, and that hanging is a game at which two can

The New U. S. Tariff. --The Morrill tariff is creating much dissatisfaction abroad. The Paris Moniteur, speaking of its provisions, says: "This retrograde reform has been very badly received in England, and will be no better liked in France; for our silks, which used to pay nineteen per cent., will pay a tax varying from twenty to thirty per cent., and our wines, taxed at thirty per cent., will be assessed at 33½ per cent., If a reconciliation should be effected in the United States, which does not yet appear to be beyond hope, it is proper to surmise that the abolition of this tariff will be one of the compromise clauses obtained by the South. If the Union be not re-established, the programme of free trade proclaimed by the South will open to our trade and agriculture a road to fruitful intercourse and large returns.

uty of the Montgomery tariff, will divert importations from New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, to South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana, and a blow will be struck at the local prosperity of the former States, the effects of which it is impossible accurately to calculate. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that every effort of the Washington government to prevent the free ingress of merchandize into the Southern ports, must prove abortive. The united navies of England and France could scarcely guard such an immense line of coast. Thus, able as the South will be to import goods, and, after they are landed, to forward them to all parts of the continent, they will practically collect duties for the whole Union. It is simply absurd to suppose, adds the Herald, that any European nation would neglect the advantages which it might derive from a commercial treaty with a Power having so extended a commerce within its grasp. If the Border Slave States had gone out with

ulfilling his astonishing mission.--He fought against him wherever he appeared in arms. In Egypt, in Poland, in Portugal, in Spain, in Russia, in Germany, and in France. In fact, he was one of the most thorough fighting men that ever existed. He could not live out of the smell of gunpowder. It was to him what the order of sacrhat gigantic campaign — Lutzen, (where he distinguished himself,) Bautzen, Wurchen, Dresden, Leipzig. He continued with the allies during the campaign of 1814 in France, and was engaged in all the battles. After the return of Napoleon from Elba, and his defeat at Waterloo, Sir Robert Wilson won the applause of all Europe, bymmissions; but his constituents immediately opened a subscription, which more than reimbursed him. He had soon an opportunity of gratifying his favorite passion. France declared war against the Spanish Cortez in 1823. Wilson immediately repaired to Spain, and entered the service of the Cortez. He was desperately wounded at the b
