THE CONFEDERATE PRIVATEER
FLORIDA.

PARTS, Barr. 1&

La France of this evening states that the result
of the note in the Moniker of this morning, respect-
ing the Florida, is to give greater prominence to
the belligerent quality acquired by the Confederate
government, and to allow the Florida to profit
by all the rights and all the advantages enjoyed by
neutrals in French ports.
La Prance continues The quality of a vessel
of war gives certain particular rights. Such vessels
cannot be seized. If individuals having suffered
loss claim indemnity, such claim can only be made
by one government to the other."
The Patric of this evening says :
"Letters from Turin deny the existence of a
project for the marriage of Prince Humbert with
a Portuguese Princess."

Ambassador to Franoe, would leave Paris is.
unfounded."

THE ZOLLVERZIN• CONFERENCES.
Shia 7, Swr. 16.

The Nord-deutsche &stung of to-day says :
"We learn that all the members of the Zollverein
have consented to be present at the ,conferences to
be held in Berlin.

"It would appear, however, that they intend
first assembling at Munich, in order to come to an
understanding respecting the attitude which they
will assume at the Berlin conferences.

"This course can evidently have no influence
either on Prussia's resolutions, or the settlement of
the principal question, viz., the treaty of com-
merce between Frame and Prussia."

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
CRACOW, Rim 16.

A. leading article of the Czas to-day demands
the recognition of Poland an a belligerent, declaring
it would otherwise appear that the Powers approved
the present oondition of the conflict, and the bar-
barous measures that are being taken.
"This recognition," says the Czca, " would only
be the logical consequence of the armistice accepted
by Poland and rejected by Russia. It would not
costa man nor a shilling : it would put an end to
all conspiracy, secure Poland and Europe from re-
volutionary designs, and preserve the dignity of the
Great Powers, while it protected the interests of
Poland."
