THE RscooSrT1oN oFTHE REBEIs By FRANCE
AND ENGLAND.

THRiREuooHIT1oN OF THE REBELS By TRANCE
AND ENGLAND.
The most intelligent members of the sew
eral Diplomatic corps here wonder ~ the
exaggerated importance attached by north-
err money-lenders and brokers 70
the recognition of the Southern Oonteder-
acy by France and England. The act
would not make these powers parties 70
our war with the rebels. IT would not
diminish our moral Or material power TO
suppress 1t. The people certainly would
disregard it. Uponithe Administrttiop u
could have no other effect than to electrity
it to mightierl ehorts,to bring the war to a.
quick and crushing close. There would be
no influence whatever in this menaced re-
cognitton TO damage the cause We ngot
for Our business is to drive this REBEL
lion into the Gulf of Mexicoat the point OF
the bayonet. The rank and file over the
Potomac "calculate" that paper "recogni-
tions" will not much hinder the work.
Their principal anxiety is aboutthe muddy
roads and unbridged watercoufses.
THE ADVANCE OF oUR ARMIES.
It is very generally fet here that the
most effective way of insuring settle
ment of our English difficulty will be the
crushing out of the rebel armies in Ken
lucky aud on the Potomac. Should the
rebel force at Centreville be destroyed, and
the Uniun troops obtain possession OF
Memphis aud Nashville within the coming
month, the war would be virtually ended,
and the country would be in position to
submit to no insolence from England or
any other power. e.
The force of this reasoning is felt by our
Government, and the Indications are thick
ening to prove that important movements
of our forces are not far Of Unless All
the signs fail, the armies of the rebels Will
be attacked before the middle of January
1t will not be an attack upon one quarter,
but upon every assailable point. People
in the confidence of the authorities here
distinctly assert that Richmond will be in
the possession of our troops before the
first of February. The placing of General
Rosecrans in command at Romney the
concentration OF troops there; the move
ments of General Banks; the expected
sailing Of General Burnside's expedition
within two weeks, and the significant
preparations in the army in front of Wash
ington, together with the news We hear
from ST. Louis, Cairo, and Green river all
point to a Simultaneous attack upon the
rebels within very short time.
SENATOR HALE's SPEECH.
Every parliamentary effort was resorted
to in the Senate, this morning. to prevent
Senator Hale from making his war speech.
including an onslaaght5on the administrn-
ton, but without effect, though he was
forced TO deliver it on the simple motion OF
Adjournment, and not on tue resolution
which he introduced. The ill-timed effort
was received with no fIvor, and the admi-
rablereply of Senator Sumner shows clear
Iy that there is every prospect of an hon
orable and amicable adjustment of the
Trent, atfuir, though if there is any infer
ence TO be drawn from his speech, it is
that this result will he obtained by arbi-
tratiou.
