Who can pretend to say that a blight as sudden and dismal as that which has come upon this luxuriant prosperity may not one day throw England centuries back in the march of progress? Yet, there is high authority for a more hopeful view of human affairs. An able Scottish writer informs us that he once asked M.Guizot, who, for many years, was the first minister of France, who had lived through some of the most interesting and troubled periods of human history, who had studied men contemplatively, as well as acted with them and governed them,--what feeling was strongest in his mind as he looked back and looked forward — hope or despondency for his country and the world.

The following were the points submitted to President Davis by Mr. Blair: 1. The South to return to the Union. 2. The gradual abolition of slavery. 3. Recognition of the rights of the various States at present forming the Southern Confederacy. 4. A general amnesty for all Confederate citizens. 5. Maintenance of the Confederate army on its present footing. 6. Alliance, offensive and defensive, between North and South. President Davis formally and absolutely rejected the first proposition, but, expressed his willingness to accept the others in principle. [Paris (February H) correspondence of the London Te
