The French minister discredits tlm rnmors ofEuropean intervention in our affairs, and it isgenerally thought here that whatever purposesn.ay have been entertained by England andFranco, the news irom New Orleam will causetheir indefinite postponement

Some of tho Ne! York paper- - npn-- r gmatrevival of trade frcm tli Yankee oeciiition ofNew Orleans. Wt auppuoe iiundrud vesselsIadtn with their notions are u. w on their way tothat city.

Wo learn that Gun. Butler is getting ready fortho consumption of thebo commodities, by trymg to naturalize tue Binnpiasiers oi ni uiumij.But ho is not as we hoar, so successful in thiias l.o oxptctod. The last thing he can do. whsuppose, is to declaro this blood-mone- y a legaltender, and then enfoice it at tho point of thebayonet. He may adopt another plan, and thatis attempt lo starvo the people into compliance.Your hunger has a great influence on mentalconclusions, but we supposo that a patriot yield-

ing a littlo under its influence could not have allthe patriotism extracted from him by if. Themarauders are in a foreign country, and tho leastthey can do gracefully is to take our money forwhat theyhave to sell.

The Yankee soldiers arc not exactly contentedin the city. Whether thoy fear surprises, or a"

bnllet turning a corner; or luvo a constant apprehension of the coming of a foe which gun-boats cannot protect them from wii inian theyellow fever is not known; but geiitleineulato from Now Orleans inform us that there areconspicuous evidenced in the manners aud facesof thesis foreigners, which imply great disqui-etude aud anxiety

Of the condition ot the oily as to tood, wohave no account. Having the channels ot supply in tome measuro at his command, we sup-pose that Butler will not starve our people into alovo for the elorious Union "' He can't maketho South a lankee dependency by thai process. We'll warrant mm ttiat mncn

But it is evident from what we hear that thecnam on the people s necks is being drawn alittle tighter from day to day. iho enemy hasbeen disappointed by that exhibition ot patriotism displayed in the destruction of cotton, sugar,etc., aud as tbe news conies trom tha river aboveof a similar destruction, ho is vexed aud an

cred. He finds no sentiment among the realbone and sinew of tho city which gives himcomfort in respect of the " Union tendencies."If he mako a few timid meu reluctantly acquiC3Co in fits prescriptions, he has sense enough tosee that that is not what he expected.

In short, he finds very little comtort in thecondition of affairs, and if the people hold outresolutely for a short tune, he will be as anxiousto evacuate tho city as he was to get possessionot it.
