THE AMERICAN WAR News IN EsGLAsD.-Thc English
papers BY the Great Eastern have articles
war news from the United States. The London
News Of the Both ult. says:
The tenor of the American letters delivered to-day is
uniformly gloomy. In some quarters the apprehension
is expressed that the English market may be deluged
with American stocks. Should the Americans make up
their minds to sacrifice them at very low prices English
investors would probably absorb them, aud wait for the
result OF the present conflict but under the existing
circumstances Of doubt h is requisite that great temp
tation in point of price should be held out.
War risk including letters OF marque, was taken to-
day at L!oyd's on n homewArd bound American ship at
four guincas per cent This premium may be considered
current rate for this special risk To what extent
this charge will interfere with the transport of cotton
and otter American produce to this country is now be-
coming question Of great interest.
