The New York Evening Post gives the reply Of
Messrs. Slope l. Co, Bankers London. to j. Sim
gleton Crawford Banker at Charleston, who of
fered to them the negotiation of the fifteen mil.
lion loan of the jeff Davis government. Some
portions of the letter we'll put, whether it Is
genuine or not They declined the offer, and
said
"As to any success for your confederated loan
AS you please to term tin the London money
market, We advise you at once to abandon all

you again in money matters, on the generous
terms heretofore proposed-cven il you were
not, as you now are, in open rebellion against
the legitimately constituted government of the
United States. We therefore repeat that you
can have no success here, in London, in the me-
gotiation Of your proposed loan. Our senior
had an interview with Lord Palmerston on the
subject Of your letter, and he assured him thatit
is the unanimous determination of her ma)esty's
government to discourage any efforts on the part
of the G. S. A. to procure money here, and y gu

you copies Of the decisions of your courts and
