AMERICA—The intelligence Weight by the Europa
se Teemlay although not specially excidng,is of considers-
ble interest. From the array of the Potanme there is, of
oneree.nothine of importanee,and we hear nothing of the
attach on Chariewn. The Confederates wereg
lag their works at Fredericksburgb, and GleaenralCru
le reported to ham been defeated in an engagement
with the Confederates seven miles below Port Hudson.
The Feinberg Canal, which wee to enable the Pedants
I. get at that pima, is again pronounced a failure and
the renewed attach on the sky was not expected to
take place for some weeks. The Confederate Cowles
had declared the navigation of the lilissimippi free to all
Madly peoples. The Federal Senate bed pared • bill

nallinchingly retaliate on the Federals for any improper
treatment of the soldiers or citizens of Virginia. It is
stated that an order bad been ismed prohibiting the
circulation of newspapers in the army of the P04011)&0.
What next, and next? Considerable excitement had
been created in BaliiMolll in consequence of • strong
exhibition of Southern feeling among the people.
The news brought by the P.M& Ism week is of some
interest. The siege of Vicksburg still dregs its slow
length along but it was reported that the &Mack on
Charleston and Savannah bad begun. In anticipation
of the attack General Beauregard bad issued • prods-
motile, urging non-combatanta to retire. He bed ap-
pealed to all able-bodied Georgians and Csrolinians to
rush to anus without regard to choice of weapons.
Ilkes sad scythes would exterminate their enemies,
and spades and shovels protect their firesides.

the brilliant smossess, and the glorious deaths of their
souspetriota.
The New Yorik Times hem learned all whom it may
concern that the recognition of Southern independence
by any foreign nation, so long as the North continue the
contest, will he equivalent to & declaration of war, sod
that the Goverenseat will follow it up by correspond-
ing acts. Our contemporary hes little doubt of tbe
recognition of the South by France within die next
two months, to be followed or assompensed by the
breaking of the blockade, and in such • ease tbe
Americans, without distinction of party, would
meet the hostile outrage upon their independence
and honour with the most resolute defiant:ie.
The Comeripticia Bill, says the Times, will enable
America to defy any power France may send. The
same puma' &alarm M. Narver to have been an enemy
of the Federal Government, and an ally of the rebels,
sines the commencement of the war, and urges his recall.
