The news from Europe, per last steamer
shows the rebel emissaries, in London and
Paris, we're very confident and noisy in the
belief that the necessities of the manufactur-
ing interests will lead to an interference in
the American contest for the purpose Of
breaking the blockade to procure supply of
cotton. 1t is, nevertheless, evident their
| cause is losing ground both with the people
| and the pTess.
The London Post (Palmerston's organ) has
a strong article against any interference, and
expressing the fallacy of the notion that the
recognition of the rebel States would reopen
! the cotton trsde. That, on the contrary
recognition would only increase the rigor OF
the blockade, and any interference would be
an act of war
The Shipping Gazette continues to de-
pounce the conduct of the blockade, aud the
wrongs done British shipping, and says some
action on the part of the British Government
| is indispensable.
The Times thinks it not unlikely that the

its Boil Run.
Count De Sayre, a lineal descendant of

ant of General Lefaye ette. 1t is expected
they will soon reach the United States.
