THE CONFEDERATE GOVERNMENT AND

"8" OF THE TIMIS.

The Richmond Enquirer of June 20, Mr. Jefferson
Davis's own organ, has come out with a repudiation
of Mr. Spence and his theories about Southern
plans and intentions and opinions—full, decided,
and unmistakeable. We read :
In speaking of Mr. Spence, of Liverpool, our commercial
agent in that city, we said he had his appointment from the
" State Department." We were aware that it was at least
through that department such things are done, and in the
estimates furnished to Congress "for appropriations re-
quired by the department of state for six mouths ending
December 31, 1863," we find an item of 6,150 dots. (payable
in fold) " for salaries of consuls and commercial agents."
This estimate is signed by Mr. Benjamin, Secretary of State.
Mr. Spence, however, has written a book—before his aP-
pointment—and a letter since—which have caused many
persons to be extremely malcontent at this Confederacy
giving the sanction of any official position whatever to a
person who gives us so damaging an adobe:lacy in
England, and who is generally accepted in that &Signify as
oar authorised champion. Apparently, those were
@apposed to have "appointed" this nom, are d us to
get rid of the responsibility ; they are aehalned of him,
perhaps ; and, accordingly, the Snake!, widish-seems to
be the " organ " of the Department of State, bids us
observe that it was Mr. Memminger who appointed Spence ;
that it was on the recommendation of Mr. Mason, andihat
all this appears by an interoepted letter of Mr. Memminger
to Mr. 1.1310014, in which be says " I have appointed him."
We take the correction, and give the State department the
fall benefit of it, Yet, after all, the appointments of con.
this and commercial agents, provided for by law, are made,
like other appointments, through the appropriate depart-
ment, and finding the appropriation to pay them called for
by Mr. Benjamin under the head of Department of State,
we not unnaturally used the expression—speaking loosely,
however—that Mr. Spence had been appointed by that de-
partment
If this gentleman were nothing more, or other, than a
commercial agent, doing financial business for us in Liver-
pool, it would signify little what his private opinions might
be ; but he is more, and his opinions are not private. He '
has published a book advocating recognition of the Con-
federacy, and demonstrating, very well too, the right of se-
orrice. Further, he has the entree of the Times newspaper,
which is considered in this country to be a great matter,
and has advocated the same cause in its columns. He has
cone to be accepted as our champion in England, and his
championship is supposed to be sanctioned by us, on ac-
count of his having been rewarded for it with an official
appointment. Thus, as we have heretofore shown, the
ri seous admissions he naked against us are taken as our ad-
missions, especially as there is no official disavowal of them
either by Mr. Mason or even by the Index.
These admissions amount to,this that slavery isra "moral
evil;" that it ought to be abolished, that the independence
of the Confederacy ought to be acknowledged, because that
is the way to ensure the ultimate extinction of slavery, and
especially that "it will be clearly allowable to our (the
English) government to decline to acknowledge their inde-
pendence without express conditions on the subrx:ttur
of
slavery." Next, the same Spence, in a letter to Mr.
Patter-
son, of the Liverpool Board of Trade, (which we reprinted
some time ago) said this, speaking of his aforesaid work :
" You will find that I held as I now hold slavery to be not
only a 'great moral wrong,' repugnant to the age we live
in, but also moat injurious to the white people of the South,
especially the working class. I then held, as 1 do now,
that the independence of the South would inevitably end
slavery under the force of public opinion." And the letter
ends with a sunintion that the power of granting or with-
holding recognition is a power which the British govern-
ment • might effectively use to the extirpation of thin evil."
Mr. Mason is in London. He has not in any way repudiated
that audacious pretension—that England, as a price of our
recognition, may properly exact conditions by which we are THE RUSSIAN REPLY.

Disturbances occurred last night among several
corps of the garrison of Athens. The National
Assembly, which, through its President, exercises
executive power, thereupon summoned the troops
to return to their barracks, and tranquillity is now
restored. _ _

PARIS, JULY 5.

The Pays publishes a telegram from Athens,
dated the 4th inst., stating that the recent out-
break in Greece was caused by the arrest of Lieu-
tenant Leotzenko on ;the 3rd. The Bank of Athens
was attacked by the insurgents, and fifty persona
killed and wounded. The building was subse-
quently occupied by a detachment of ninety marines
from the French, English, and Russian ships in the
harbour. - _

it has long been felt that Torquay, with its large, wealthy, and
increasing population, and the great number of visitors who
resort to it both In winter and summer for health and pleasure,
stands much In need of the accommodation of a first-class
modern Hotel of the character so successfully established in
London and some of the leading watering places of England and
on the Continent.

eligible site, upon which the favourite residence of Colonel
Meyrick now stands, has been secured for the purpose.

that the attractions of the modern Swamies' Hotel are eagerly

determination of the Directors to combine in every department
