-Slavery Temple in Europe. The Slidell family. --A Paris letter pretends to give a graphic detail of the, plans and policy of the Slidell family, in their united capacity as a rebel embassy in the French capital, down to the moment when Napoleon decorate his latest — and very probably last — in review to Mr. Slidell. The meeting took place in a manner, at the residence of the Count De Persigny during an afternoon reception of some of the most distinguished French statesmen and politicians. Napoleon took Slidell to a seat, and conversed with him during the space of an hour, winding up with an advice to the rebel leaders to lay down their arms, as their cause was hopeless." Count De Persigny left Paris for London the next morning, and it was presumed that his journey was undertaken with reference to the new shape in which his Imperial master had produced his idea of intervention in American affairs. Foreign sentiment. --Thurlow Weed, who has just returned from Europe

y reinforcements they may have met on the way 40,000 men returned to France, showing how few men were lost in this masterly retreat, either by the severity of the winter or the harassing attacks of the enemy. But even if three-fourths of the wounded at Borodino had died, and allowing for those killed in minor actions and operations, there would remain nearly 200,000 men who perished by insufficient commissariat — by want of forethought. The Count de Segur the historian of this campaign, considers that the genius of Napoleon had culminated before he undertook this expedition, famous among the world's disasters, and that constant prosperity had led him to look on success as so certain that he neglected the means of attaining it. Any way, here is an instance under the greatest Generals that it is not the enemy, however numerous or skillful, who effect the destruction of armies. It is fatigue, exposure, want of food, want of shelter, want of clothing, want of sanitary prevention.
