The Pari* correspondent of the New York J Tima, writing on the 10th inst, Rays: There aro Forae strange rumers In circula tion within a Say or two, whioh I give y?u^ only as rumors. Another change has been made, according to these r?porti>, in the Mex ican jpro{rrammf?, Mexico is to lie placed un-. ?er tue French Protectorate, or to become a colony of l'iance, with a French Prince for Governor. * Toe Confederate" have renounced kl! idea ol regaining the Mississippi river, und the Trana-Mi-^issippi country, without for eign aid. Air. Slideirs visita to the Emperor arid Foreign Secretly, lately, are sid 1 to be in emii?-cUon with this new slate of things on the Mississippi. They Are coneoctin? scheine*^ fi>r an alliunce aua-ia^t the United States, with a view of securing, the one Mexico and the ** other the Mtsiinsipfi Valley. The fall ol VfcksLurg and fori Hudson, they, say, will . throw Jeff. Davis and Napoleon int ? each other's &rms-thst will be the. final biow which will'precipitate an alliance that only hang* fire becatis? the question ot the Mis-, aissippi might by gome ba/.Hrd turn contrary lo present eipeetatjoiis. It. js this, they gay,' which makes Napoleon so i uk ewafiu on the question of Poland 5 it is thia which makes him continually say that Mexico is the big altair of the roomenj" ; it is this which require so much activity in-the Navy Yaid> at the. present moment, and it is this which bas sud denly demanded such large reinforcement? in Mexico. 'For the whole division Tincy ha? been ordered to prepare itself for departure in the tponth of September, and several vessels -the Ville de Lyon, the Jean Bait and Up? Wagram-are about to sail with reuifbrcu mentB to the artillery, in men ead material. And'yet the Government papers declared af ter the fall of Puebla, that there were enough men now in Mexico to finish the campaign. li is also asserted on all haiids tf'Et th? Emperor, finding that he cannot ju'duce Eng land to j r,a binnia hostile measures against tue Uniied Sutea-or rather, perhaps, not de sirous that England ?hould join bim, and yet anxious to give himself tho aid of an ally*- i* now trea-.ing with Spain on this sn?ject, and that Spain snows a willing ness to Second the Emperor's views. The rumor adds that the-' Marshal O^o/JuelL wh? 13 now here, and is going North ta~ Berlin, ostensibly for.the purpose of consulting the famousoeculist, Grolle, for Miule, O'Donnell's eyfts, is ia fact, in treaty with tho Emperor on this ques tion of arranging-the affairs ot the Mexi can Gulf'for their mutual l?nefitfl. The correspondent further if ys that thp Fre?ch residents of New Orleans transmitted to the" JEmperor a. letter, repreBenting to the Emperor, through his Vice Consul at thal portrthat the action of the United Stales au thorities there, tends to bring about a colli sion between the blacks and whites of that city1-that inlhe'event ofsach a conflict-the|r persons and-properties would be seriously.en rtangered-and that the United States Coin. mander-?n'cb?ef of tap tiepar,tmerit has ta ken ff dm them all the arms with which ?buy could defend themselves ; they therefore, re quest that the Emperor will send to tho sifsippi several vessels of war for such action as the emergency may require; The New York Wipita treats the s abject, var/ seriously, and say?-: What all this amounts to, it ?3 not easy as yet to say. Bat the action of "the French Emperor is certainly suspicious enough to demand and reward the mont vigilant ulien tion of "our Government. Some days since tye expressed the opinion . tbs t thu da-Qger of foreign intervention in oar a .r-.n.- would ber come:the greatest, just:when ?ar prospects .of crushing th? rebellion should seem the brigh test.

Mr. Stephens next spoke of the surrender of Vicksburg, aud s:iid iliat it was not an occur rence to cause discouragement or gloom-that the loss of Vicksburg was not a< severe as the loss of Fort Pillow, Island No. 10, or X *v Orleans. The Confederacy had survived lite OJO of tho*}'point*, n.iil would survive the ?.oss of Vicksburg, Port Hudson and other places.

As for reconstruction, said. Air, Stephens, such a t:-ing was impossible-nick an idea must not be tolerated for au instant.

Ile, did not believe that the leading.fbreign powers ever intended that the iNbrth and-Sontli should be again united -they preferred that the Separation should bei ertnaneuf-that they considered both sides too strong nov:, and did not deeni it good pol icy an their part to interfere and put an end lo the war. Foreign nations see that there suit of the war will be to establish a despotism at the North, and are therefore willing to al low it o continue awhile longer.
