TALK ON CHANGE,

|
There was very little going yesterday. The
light showers of rain checked the usual gatherings
| on the flags of Carondelet. The advces from
Europe were talked of, and the Queens speech on
the adjournment of the Parliament of Great Britain
Was commented on. Her Majesty is for neutrality,
strict neutrality in the contest now going on be-
| tween the North and the South. Presumine that
Victoria is sincere in her declarations it is sup
posed that her subjects will not compromise the
neutrality of Great Britain by loanng money to
the Lincoln Government to carry on the crusade
and attempted subjugaton of the South. The SYM
pathy OF England is not solicited by the South
We do not want it. The independence of the South
is not to be subject tosympathy nor feelings of re-
spect. The South wants action, up and down
recognition, as an Independent sovereignty. But
we want Victoria to watch closely the movements
of the capitalists, that they do not violate the neu
trality which she proolaims shall be preserved.
The further talk was, that Belmont would be
nonplussed in Threadneede street; that on the
Paris Bourse Lincoln loans would hardly command
"a passing notice. So may it be. Bon jour, Mons.
Belmont.
An evening paper of yesterday contains very
remarkable paragraph about one Arnold Harris,
Esq. To apologize for the conduct of Arnold Har-
gard after being peremptorily refused, is drawing
very heavily on the patience of the New Orleans
public. Arnold Harris, if a Southerner, had no
business to be acting in the capacity of friend of
one ofLincolns despots. The course of President
Davis, in regard to this Arnold Harris, Esq CON
forms with the expressions Of our community. 1t

pedient to create sympathy in his favor. No man

1t is useless to argue the question.
The proclamation of President Davis, in regard
to aliens, is.receVed with the greatest favor The
talk is, that We have been very remss in New
Orleans; that spies and informers are allowed free
egress and ingress.. We have very little to say on
