Telegraphic Dispatches.
NASHVILLE, Nov. 11.-On Friday, the
9th, Gen. Scott sent flag of truce from
Washington to Gen. Evans, at Leesburg,
to inquire what disposition had been made
of the prisoners taken at Bulls Bluff
Gen. Evans replied that they were confined
in Richmond, but he would communicate
with his Government relative to an ex-
change of prisoners.
News from Europe by the last steamer
shows that the rebel commissioners in Lon.
don and Paris are very confident in the be.
lief that the necessities of the manufactu.
rers would lead to the breaking up of the
blockade, in order that supply of cotton
may be had.
The London Post deprecates any inter-
ference with the blockade, and proceeds to
show that recognition of the Southern Con.
federacy will not reopen the cotton ports,
but, on the contrary, recognition will only
cause an increased vigor in the blockade,
and any interference will be an act of war
The Shipping Gazette continues to de-
nounce the blockade and wrongs done Brit
ish ships, and says some action on the part
of the British Government is indispensable.
The Times thinks it not unlikely that the
moment drain of specie commences, the
financial community of America will have
its Bull Run.
A special dispatch to the St. Louis Re-
publican, from Springfield, on the 3lst,
says good deal of excitement has prevail
ed there for some days, respecting the re.
port of Fremont's removal Washington
advices from head quarters mention moth
ing of the kind. Fremont's removal would
cause no little trouble. In the camp a
number Of officers declare they would re-
sign, in that event, and insist on creating
him dictator of the Southwest, independent
of the Administration, which is bitterly
denounced 10 camp for its vascilating, in.
judicious policy toward the Western Depart
ment.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Ain the circuit
court to-day Judge Grier said that it SEEM
ed like farce to try the privateers at this
time. He said he thought the dictates Of
humanity should lead the Government to
treat captives taken on sea the same as
those taken on land, and he could not un-
derstand the policy of hanging the first,
and holding as prisoners Of war or releasing
the second.

Archbishop Hughes are about sailing for
Europe to endeavor to counteract the ope.
rations of the Southern Commissioners, and
