A German correspondent Of the New

had a bad effect. Holland, a large

In the meantime the gallant 27th was

Buford had found necessary to get of

Tho Crops in Europe.


The advices from abroad this week
only confirm previous ones respecting
tho qugnti'y Of grain which will be need
ei by France and England during the
coming twelve month In Mark Lane
the great English graiu market. The
London Times says that 1.-THE foreign
trade was steadily improving through
out last week, and an advance from ] TO
2s. per quarter must be noted, more es-
peoially on medium sorts Of red In
France, however, prices we're rather
lower in the face Of importations, which
it is said"aro being made on "a gigantic
scale" This statement must, ofcourso,
DO only Of speculative nature, for 10
is only necessary to remember that the
deficit Of France will amount to over
8O,OOO,O0O bushels, to be satisfied that
the prices Of grain are not likely to
rule low before midsummer next.

not at all probable. We are very near
the time when lake navigation will
be closed, and after that very little
grain in bulk can be moved bv rail,
because Of the high rates which the diff
ferent companies charge. The Western

following:

of the second Peel Ministry, and will

TIE PosIrEoN OF Hon WILLIAM II.
SEwARD.--The Springfield (Mass. Ro.
publican makes the following remarks.
It says.
We have strange accounts from
Washington. It is common gossip here
that Mr. Seward is at tho head Of the
anti-mOvemont party; and that he uses
Gen. Scott to prevent whatever schemes
Of Gen. Mcclellan involve immediate
action against the enemy, He is even
charged with the defeat Of the plan by
which Gen. Mcclellan would have taken
Leesburg, tho other day, by means Of
countermanding orders which withdrew
McCall's divisions when they we're
marching on Leesburg, 10000 strong
Mr.. Seward is, in fact, accused of de-
liberate purpose to wear out the zeal
aud loyalty Of the North in fruitless
campaigning, that when this is accom-
| plished he may come in as the great
paciGcator and obtain recognition oi
the Southern Confederacy. We can.
not credit this statement. There arc
frequent hints in Washington CORE
spoHdeOce Of a stick somewhere, which
is causing delay and uncertainty, and
which has produced already great popu-
lar anxiety, but to suppose Mr.. Seward
capable Of the policy attributed to him
is to suppose him a mOnOmaniac, or
something worse. IL is quite likely
that he is still reluctant to give up his
cherished hope that tho rebels may be
induced to consider aud retura to theil
allegiance, but it is utterly incredible
that he should entertain the idea Of per
hitting a disruption Of tho Union, and
still more that he should covertly plot
delay aud defeat ia order TO discourage
the great patriotic movement for the
maintenance of tho Union. This would
involve, if he is a sane man, a depth Ol
folly and depravity not inferior to tina
of jeff Davis himself. We discredit i
altogether. There may be something
wrong at Washington-indeed ther,
