Keep the ears of your Government and people but to two things — that they maintain their present advantages and energy, or, in case of reverse, keep on good terms with France. Either of these positions, and these alone, can save them from what they would have had months ago to meet but for Napoleon. [correspondence of the journal of Commerce.] Paris, Friday, May 2, 1862. The rumor of intended intervention grow hourly more persistent. France is said to have declared her intention to Great Britain of not delaying beyond the month of July next to recognize the independence of the South. This fact is asserted to be tree on very high authority. No one doubts that proposals of intervention have again been made by the Imperial Government to the Cabinet of London, and so far a

All these may be evidences of talent, beyond a doubt, as unquestionably is, also, the successful conduct of affairs, either public or private either a man's own or those of his country.--But is the successful command of a great army no evidence of talent? We are aware that Lord Macsulay does not rank military talent very high; but we are still inclined to the opinion that the species of talent which won than passport to posterity for Caesar and Napoleon cannot at least-rank very low.
