BEWARE OF TELEGRAPHIC INvEN.
TIONS.

Atelegraphic dispatch, bearing date at Louis.
vile, July 22d, finds its place among the rest
Of the telegraphic Responsibilities of the day,
informing M, among other things, that the
Government Of France has made large pur.
chssea Of tobacco at New Orleans, and will
soon test the strength Of our blockade; that
the Southern Commissioners are greatly en-.
couraged in Europe and that Southern clear
unces are promptly recognized, and the South.
ern Confederacy flag waving unmolested from
Havre to Liverpool.
We remember the nature and the ialsity Of
ths dispatches imposed upon the newspaper
press in general immediately prior to the act
of secession by the usurping convention Of
Virginia, ss well as at other crises in the pre-.
sent drama and q repetition of the artifice
then practised may now be reasonably effected.
II We cannot prove this alleged Louisville dis.
patch to be false, we can, at least, detect in it
"a total conflict with all the information we
have received direct from Europe. The evil
dsnces are most ample that the sympathies of
every civilized people on the face of the earth
are with the United States Government in its
present contest with the rebel States, and 10
such extent a. to overrule whatever promptings
Of temporary intent may stand in opposition
thereto.
The telegrsphie statement alluded to Is well
II, timed and we'll devised for effect at the present
moment, which is, no doubt, considered very
opportuns for the promotion of evil by means
Of falsehood and every species Of per6dy,
and may produce some effect in the South |:
but Il can make no impression upon the minds
, Of the people Of the rest Of the Union, who
have free access TO the most authoritative
sources of information and know that the state
msnt quoted Is in total conflict with the whole
tenor Of the journals and correspondence most
recently received from Europe.
p q The idea of this dispatch, like most other
secession ideas, Is based upon the assumption
that the whole word of "outside barbarians
,G must parish if deprived Of the products Of the
regions which used to denominate themselves
tho Slave States "a misapprehension to 9
: knowledge Of which they will awaken wher
they ind their cherished assumption disas
trous fallsey, and successful competitors il
every market for the disposal Of the very pro
ducts in the monopoly Of which they have vainly
gloried.
The "very latest" arrival from Europe Ii
that of the North American at Quebec, OF
Monday Of this week; and BY this arrival We
are spty enough informed that Lord Palmer
sson had just given expressions in gratulator!
terms Of the heartiness with which the Unitet
States Government is cooperating with Eng
land and France in the suppression of the slav
s trade on the coast Of Africa.

sympathy and the AID if acceptable, Of all tn
civilized nations of the earth, but especially o
France and England, are substantially, if no
in form, profsred to us at this present moment
But, thanks TO heaven, we need no aid but tn
