the writer of the above calumny to come to the conclusion that, were the commander of the Sumter so prone to murder as he supposes, he would hardly have taken the trouble to incumber himself with the crews of the American merchantmen he destroyed.
In former days, when the Debats was impartial, it would have abstained from recording the cowardly insinuation without a word to protest against it. But so far from that being the case now, it continues Jesuitically to support the outcry of these Havre papers, all of them, of course, disinterested supporters of the Havre shipowners interested in the American trade, for the aid of "all the European maritime Powers in putting down the violent coups de main of the two Confederate ships — the Sumter and Nashville — in the guise of privateers," and which these papers do not hesitate to designate as pirates.

On being questioned as to the cause of her agitation, she pointed to a sofa, and, weeping bitterly, declared she had seen descend upon it the figure of her elder sister, Rosalie, then on a visit to some relations at or near Havre.
The countenance of the phantom was pale and death-stricken.--This occurred at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th September. Two days after, tidings arrived that Rosalie L — had been unhappily drowned in a boating excursion at Havre, at (it Havre, at (it was affirmed) the precise moment of the appearance.
As another instance, here is a circumstance minutely related by Monsieur M--, a retired French officer, in a letter to a friend:
"Left an orphan at an early age, I was brought up under the care of a kind-hearted god-mother, who could scarcely have cherished me more had I been her own offspring.
She resided at Harfleur, and, being in easy circumstances, refused me nothing that could contribute to my youthful pleasure, keeping my poc

London, Nov. 8.--The Morning Post sees in the position of the Democratic party the first symptoms of healthy reaction having at last made their appearance; and thinks the bold course adopted in denouncing the file legal proceedings of the Government must be a source of satisfaction to every sincere well wisher of the American people.
It trusts that the Democrati
political symptom or not is matter for conjecture, but we all know how it will be viewed at Washington.
Political men of all parties here consider that the establishment of the new state of things in Mexico renders the formation of an alliance with the Confederate States an indispensable necessity, and there is nothing surprising in the report that negotiations should be going on with a view to bring about that great result.
There is also a report that well-known shipbuilding firms at Havre and Bordeaux are building cruisers for the Confederate States, but it is probably a canard due to the alarmed imagination of the Federals and their friends. "The thief doth fear each bush an officer," and every Yankee skipper in a European port sees a future Alabama in every vessel with a clean run that he may see on the stocks.
For the sake of the South, however, I hope the rumor may turn out true.

--A Paris letter in the N. Y. Times, dated the 29th ult, says:
One of the vessels built at Bordeaux by M Arman, Deputy in the Corps Legislatif, for the Confederate Government, was launched on Thursday last, and shows herself on the water to be a most beautiful specimen of naval architecture.
An English vessel is lying at the same port with all the necessary equipments on board for the new vessel, the articles having been put on board the English vessel at Havre.
The new vessel will not be ready to sail yet for some weeks, and she is audaciously announced in advertisements as being "up" for Shanghai.
M Arman, however, has been compelled by the French Government to give his word that none of the vessels he is building shall pass from his into Confederate hands, or, in a general way, that no trouble shall come to the Government from these vessels It is on this promise of M Arman that the French and American Governments rely, and on which permission

On this occasion I learned that the Commission which had been appointed by the Emperor to visit the Kearsarge and inspect and report upon her armament, had performed that duty on Friday last.
On that day Lieut Thornton, First Lieutenant of the Kearsarge, reported to Capt Winslow that a company of officers, who had descended from a steamer which came down from the direction of Havre, presented themselves alongside the Kearsarge in a small boat and demanded if they might come on board.
As orders had been left by the captain to permit visitors on board, and as in fact the ship had been visited daily by a large number of officers and others interested in artillery or in ship building, they were, of course, given full permission to visit the vessel, and take drawing and a measurement of the big guns, their carriages and ramrods.

Personal and material interests, however, have less to do with that feeling than formerly.
The cotton trade of Havre and Rouen has gradually righted itself, at least to a certain extent.
As in England, other supplies have been landed at Havre, and trade has gradually recovered.
The exportation trade generally, from France to America, has not, strange to say, Havre, and trade has gradually recovered.
The exportation trade generally, from France to America, has not, strange to say, fallen off. The wealthy in the Northern States buy largely from France.
The alarm once felt in this country about the American war has greatly diminished.
But the desire for peace is not less universal. Humanitarian as well as material interests associate the Government and people of France with the sentiments embodied in the peace address of the British nation.
