the French Government an explanation on that
subject."
The following despatches are published in the
Quebec.papers:—

NEW YORK, JULY 31.
It is stated that the New York comrnittee
posed to the President to pay no bounty after the
18th August, and if the state quota was not then
filled to instantly draft. The President acceded to
the proposition, and gave the committee a letter to
the War Deparment, recommending the issue of
orders to that effect, with the consent of Governor
Morgan.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 31.
The private subscriptions to the bounty fund this
morning, •etelusive of railroads, is 272,000 dols.
During yesterday afternoon between 400 and 500
Confederate prisoners, confined at Fort Delaware,
took the oath of allegiance.
The Louisiana Tigers seemed especially anxious
to take the oath.

Last evening there was a violent disposition
among the Secessionists to attack their comrades,
but the outburst was soon checked.

JACKSON (TENNESSEE), JULY 30.
Captain Dalien's cavalry attacked 80 Confederates
yesterday near Brownsville, and captured 40 pri-
soners. The Confederates were afterwards rein-
forced, and recaptured-29-men and 14 horses. The
Federal loss was four killed and six wounded. The
Confederate loss was about the same.

WASHINGTON, JULY 31,

General Todd, of Ohio, has decided that after the
15th August he will pay no more bounties. If there
shall be a deficiency of volunteers then it will be
made up by draft without bounty. Other governors
propose the same thing, and the Secretary for War
will probably adopt it.

NEW YORK, JULY 31.
The steamer Matanzas, from New Orleans, July
25, has arrived. General Butler had ordered that
all negroes sent by their masters to the Federals
should be regarded as emancipated. Masters had
in many cases endeavoured to reclaim them.
General Butler, in a note to Reverdy Johnson,
says no merchandise, whether cotton or sugar, will
by any event be seized or confiscated by the United
States authorities there.

~~,

Dispatches from Fort Monroe of the 29th state
that General N'Clellan had issued orders for every
man to be ready for action at a moment's notice.
It was thought that an attack from General Jack-
son might be expected at any time, and it was not
known whether he would attack General Pope's or
General M'Clellan's army, and if General
M'Clellan's it was not known in what quarter. It
was the prevailing opinion in the army that an im-
mediate movement was to be made ; that the actions
of the Confederates of late have indicated it is un-
mistakable, and that General M'Clellan was ready
for them, no matter from what quarter they might
approach him. But few probably know where to
find General Jackson, as the Confederates say he
takes what men he wants, and goes where he likes,
and does as he chooses with them.

The Grenada Appeal of the 24th says that Com-
modore Davis and his gunboats attacked the bat-
teries of Vicksburg and the ram Arkansas, and had
been repulsed with the loss of five boats sunk and
disabled.

EUROPEAN INTERVENTION IN
AMERICA.

The following letter appears in the Tinges :

Sir,—As Mr. Roebuck and your well-informed
Liverpool correspondent, " 5.," have concurred in
recommending to the public that the civil war now
raging in the dis,United States of North America
should be extinguished by the immediate interven-
tion of the Powers of Europe, I beg, in opposition
to their recommendation, to be permitted to submit
to your readers the following observations on that
important subject.

For nearly half a century there has existed,
throughout England the Christianlike, and, in truth,
I must add the commercial sentiment, that on no
account whatever should we embark with the
United States in a war, in which Great Britain
would have everything to lose and nothing to gain,
more than Cain gained when he rose up and slew
his brother Abel.

Instead of appreciating this fraternal, or rather
paternal feeling, the Americans astutely determined
to turn it, as they turn everything, into dollars ;
and accordingly, firmly relying or, Old England's
desire for peace, they continued to make upon
her a series of groundless demands for territories
fisheries, apologies, &c., each ending with the six
stereotyped monosyllables, " We must have this—
or war !" Moreover, they proclaimed it to be their
" destiny," firstly, to obtain for their Washington
Confederation everything on the continent of North
America which, in their own opinion, belonged to
it; and, secondly, under their Monroe doctrine, to
capture, by force of arms, everything that didn't
belong to it.
Now, when it is considered that the above was
the fixed policy of the 34 United States,—that the
hatred and jealousy especially of the people of the
Northern States against England were implacable,
—that with the will to quarrel with her, or join
with any European nation in quarrelling with her,
they possessed the gigantic powers (lately developed)
of suddenly raising for war 1,500,000 men, and
within a year, say, 300 millions of money, surely we
cannot be too thankful that it has pleased the
Almighty to permit the people of the United States,
not only with their own hands and of their own
accord to break into pieces their own Union, but to
exhaust upon each other the passions and materials
for that furious war which it would have been be-
yond the power of our statesmen to prevent them
much longer waging against the peace, happiness,
and prosperity of England.
On the bursting out of this fearful fratricidal
struggle, it would have been madness for England
to step forward and enedeavour to re-unite and re-
excite them to prey upon her vitals instead of upon
their own. But, although there were not wanting
false philanthropists to
l advocate this suicidal mea-
ortune
rendered impracticable by
the 2
sure, it was fortunately
the Northern States threatening to declare in
stunt war against any nation of Europe that should
dare to interpose in their quarrel.
Under this restriction, which either belligerent
has a right to impose, it must surely be evident
that the simple dignified course of England to pur-
sue is to abstain from interfering in the American
contest, until, under the guidance of Providence,
the cure of a great political public evil shall have i
been completely effected. l

Mr. Roebuck, a few days an•
constituents at Sheffield, statedbo, in presence of his
and enthusiasm of his " that in the ardour
the wondrous fabricyouth he had looked upon
-- Which had been raised by the
great heroes of the American Revolution as a won-
drous effort of human skill—as the millennium of
mankind," yet he honestly confessed "I have lived
to see that all shattered—split asunder—America
divided into two, and I think likely to be divided
into five, and for ever ceasing to be the United
States of America. INTy first feeling was grief.
INly present feeling is one of rejoicing. I - say an
irresponsible people, possessed of irresponsible and
almost omnipotent power, is a people that cannot
be trusted." Mr. Roebuck accurately describes
the fallen condition of his former clients, and yet
he instantly drew from his own ,
viemises a wrong
conclusion.
No person is more competent than Mr. Roebuck
to assist the proprietor of
a large estate in legallY
subdividing it in whatever manner he may tillnk
proper to direct. But if Mr. Roebnck were
to find
the said Proprietor, Possessed of irresponsible and
almost omnipotent power, to be a man 0 that could
not be trusted," and if Jr.: Roebuck, moreover,
could not inform
even his own mind whether the
estate was to be divided "into two parts or into
fiYe," would he not boldly declare to the great man

APE

had not yet arrived And if ti
grounds could Mr. Roebuck, at .ot3Pft_
diction to his own assertions, end hisiaveriveecg
by the following
appeal " I entreat the noble
lord (Palmerston) to weigh well the consequences
of what he calls perfect neutrality.' "
:
At the present time, as regards the contest in
question, " perfect neutrality" is not only a
virtue,
~
but a necessity, simply because neither the dia
United States themselves, nor the nations of Europe,
know the terms upon which the existing struggle
Could possibly be adjusted.
Indeed, at this moment, the people of the
Northern and Western States are so ignorant of
their own affairs, that in their estimation the value
of their paper and pasteboard bank-notes for a half-
penny and upwards is only 16 per cent. less than
their amount in sterling gold! In a few weeks the
fatal truth must reach their minds. On the Ist of
September an invading army of tax-gatherers must
inevitably produce among them further secession,
with a sweeping
repudiation of all Federal debts.
Without their fuel—money—the flames of war
must quickly subside. And when defeat, sickness,
desertion, dishonour, disappointment, despair, hu-
miliation, and insolvency shall have conjointly
created among them an earnest desire that Europe
should condescend to settle for them principles, and
especially details, which they find they are utterly
unable to settle among themselves, then, I humbly
submit, the hour will have arrived when England,
with dignity and friendly feelings, may consent,
either separately or with other nations of Europe,
to consummate for the dis-United States of North
America a permanent disruption of their Republic.
—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Croydon, Aug.l3, F. B. HEAD.
