They are built very strong, some OF the works
being Fashioned forts, constructed in manner
that shows skiIifn1 engineering on the part Of
Eomebody-Gcn. Beauregard, it is supposed.
Some care seems to have been taken with EN-
brasures, which are built to combine conven-
Ience for handling tile guns With the best
method for protecting the men. They arc very
strongly built, with hurdles and sand-boxes,
and will stand heavy cannonading before Civ

been received from Place where they make
most excellent guns. They have been put in

The news by the Jura is Of little i'm
portsnce. Our special dispatches from
Washington give further details Of the At
rica's news, from which it appears that the
tone Of English feeling is warlike to an ex-
lent that runs through nearly all classes,
and is manifested in ways sufficiently in
dicative Of wide animosity to this Govern
mcnt. In London and Liverpool Sc
ccssion flags were openly and num-
crously faunted, and on cab-panels
appear crossed with the English ensign
thus replacing The Stars and Stripes At
Washington nothing had transpired to
show precisely what course the Grown
had determined to take, nothing from the
interview with Lord Lyons and Mr. Sew
ard having been made public. The Eng
lish people are largely sympathizers with
the rebellion, and how far Parliament will
reject the same sentiment remains to be
seen. Mr.. Seward also finds there is al
American people, who have favored him
so says correspondent, with pile Of let
tcrs two feet high, on the war topic. On
thing will be noticeable in and out Of Con
gress, that those ostensibly among the 10y
alists, but nevertheless sccesaonists a
heart, are the most forward with insultin
bry:do, designed as far as may be to has
