The COnredernte Cause In Hurope.


The LsndOn corresp9eant of the New York DAILY
NsloS in his letter of July L. makes the folio wing
important statements:
RumOTs of a ehapge of Ministry are ahoat, but
| can be traced TO reliable and certain source.
However, the condition Of affairs both st home and
abroad may render The introduction of some fresh
and vigorous material INTO the Queens councils
an early necessity. One of the earliest results Of
| such an event. should the same policy not be adOpt
| cd speedily by the present Ministry, will be the re-
| cOgnitisn of the independence of the Con
fedeIate States Of Americ4. This may seem
startling news, but it is nevertheless true
J You all please nO.e that the few predictions
have ventnred from time 70 time. in my letters
this subject have in every instance been fulfilled
and that have misled you in no single fact. The
ferOeious assaults of the Northern press upon the
| opiaiOns and policy of Engand have at length
swept away every particle Of sympathy thst may
have been felt for what was termed by them 'war
for the UniGH; and the utter ruthessness of their
disregard for common truth and honesty In their
accusations against the people of these islands has
led to the conclusion that their VtuperatOns of the
Southern States were and are just as reckless and
untrue.
On the other hand the brutal and ferocious ap.
peals of the Abolition press TO the worst passions
Of human nature, and the declared intention of de-
Yastating and crushing the Southern States-the
land of their relatives and our own-has produced
not only the deepest disgust here, but the hottest
Indignation. If there be characteristic of which
the true BritOn boasts than another it is his
love Of fair play and he sees in the South the
injured and weaker party. The same pens that.
only few years ago, summoned the humanity Of
Europe and the world to the oppressed vic
tms of tyranny and usurpatiOn in other lands, are
busily at work to denounce the madness of a Gov
ernment that tramples every constitutional guaFan
tee of your Republic under foot. ShoulI any seri
Gus reverse befal the Federal arms look for the
immediate lifting Of the curtain here. Yet sim |
cere desire for the preservation of the American /
Republic the basis Of good fellowship still pre-
walls and were this the Issue, there is but one voice
among your transatlantic kinsmen.
The establishment of huge military desp1tism
is deprecated, and will even be resisted.
The manufacturing districts restive and the
prospects on all sides for the coming winter are
trouble is brewing that there be hope of any
certain supply Of cotton from that quarter. while
sll other sources admitted to be utterly made
quate without the aid Of your Southern product
You will perceive by the journals that British
forces in the Canadas are to be still further aug
mented and the fleets in your waters doubled. Re-
ports current that President Lincoln's blockade
is Inefficient and that much faVoritIsm is shown If
this be Sc, prompt acticn the part of this Cow
ernment may be surely anticipated
The Paris correspondent of the same journal
writes follows:
Throughout France trade is every where depress
ed, and our manufacturers execrating the Amer.
lean civil war a. heartily do their friends at Man

Etienne alone the population has diminished : 1877

The attempt to subJugste so vast a country and

states with such incalCulabe resources not only In

In connection with the foregoing. quote
rom the Washington correspondence of the B1lti- O
lore Sn:
The London Times has arrived at the conclusion o
rat the war must terminate in Southern independ-
lce That independence may not, even if it exists
fdctO, terminate the war. 1t is clear that the q
