ernment Of Missouri, and this has been done,
and is being done, in the finest style OF dealing
with rebellion.
Missouri is as large rs Virginia, with Il
greater white population, aud quite az large
proportion of secessionists. In a military point
of view, Missouri is incomparably stronger
than Virginia, not being weakened by that
large slave population, which places Eastern
Virginia at the mercy Of any enterprisiug in
vader. With all the troops from the cotton
States sent to their relief, the secessionists Of
Virginia have never been, and are not now, as
formidable ss the secessiopists Of Missoafi, who
have fallen '6hder the vigorous blows Of Gen.
Lyon, aud his handful of raw levies.

trality in the contest between the United States
and the so-styed Confederate States Of North
America. With the view more thoroughly to
carry out that principle, we purpose to inter.
dict the armed ships, and also the privntecrs Of
both parties, from carrying prizes made by them

The orders went out to the colonies on Sat

may also state that we have, during the past
week, been in communication with the French
Government upon this subject. / stated to the
French ambassador the view taken by Her Ma.
jesty's Government, and asked him what course
the Government of France Intended TO pursue
with regard to this subject. The French am.
bassador kxs Informed me that the French
Government proposes TO act in conformity with
the existing law Of France. That existing law
is founded upon an ordinance. passed in the
year 1851, and the rule is that, in case OF q war
in which France is neutral, no pripateers are
aloced to bring their prizes into the ports or har-
bors. of France or its dependencies for longer
period than tioenty:four hours. They are not
alloioed 10 sell the cdrgoes, or IN any toay dis.
pose ofthe prizes ,chich they hare taken, and
after the twenty -four hours have expired they
are obliged to leave the port. Therefore the
course pursued by France is not very different
from that which we intend to adopt. I....

MISSOURI.

The complete liberation of this great and
populous State from the clutch of the tsrrorists,
is an event of magnitude. 1t opens the way
to the liberation of Arkansas, and will have an
important moral influence in steadying the
councils of Kentucky.
The conspirators have left no stone unturned
to secure Missouri. They supplied arms from
the Baton Rouge arsenal, to the traitorous en-.
campment Of Gen. Frost, which was so sum.
marily dealt with by Gen. Lyon. And they
have undoubtedly been organizing a force in
Arkansas and the Indian Territory, to march
iuto Missouri, and cooperate with the rebellion
at the proper moment. The story that Ben.
Mccullough had 10000 men at Fort Smith,
must have been ridiculously exaggerated, but
where there is good deal of smoke, there is
apt to be some fire. 1t is certain that a Lou.
isiana force, either regiment or battalion, was
sent up the Arkansas river several weeks ago,
to be under the command Of Mccullough, and
1t is probable that an operation upon Missouri,
in the rear, was one of the objects.
Western Arkansas is full of Union men, and
will afford basis for rescuing the whole of that
State FROM Kansas and from Missouri. when
secessionisin is thoroughly tramped under foot
there, movement may be made upon Western
Arkansas, with convenience and sure success.
But it was frst necessary to dislodge the ram.

gey" Senator johnson, of Tennessee, who
arrived here yesterday, may well be welcomed
as "the brapest Of The brace." He has saved his
own East Tennessee, and that is basis for
saving the whole State. That he escaped with
his life, is due to his own rare courage, and to
the devotion of his personal friends.
We learn that after surviving all the peril'
of the recent political campaign in Tennessee,
he and his party were fred upon as they were
passing into Kentucky through the Cumber
land Gap. This firing had, happily, no other
effect than to illustrate the malignity and COW
