MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
ouR roRrIoN RELATIONS,


WAsurNGroN. Sunday, June 9.-Semi of
fetal letters from England give assurances
that the British government is gradually
"clawinr Off from its original partlality for
the rebel states. The government is yet any
thing but friendly to the Union, but il is de-
cidcdly not so open in its hostility as it was
before the arrival of Mr.. Adams. These same
letters have no room to doubt that the ministry
had once determined upon the extreme meas
ure of reOrganizng the southern coniederacy,
and they were endeavoring to precipitat- such
action before the arrival of our new minister.
In the interview which Mr. Adams had with
Lord John Russell, the former very distinctly
EXPRESSED to the latter the belief that the Brit.
ish government intended such purpose, and
charged the British ministry with want of
common diplomatic courtesy in thus attempt
ing to decide upon vital question before Afford
ing an opportunity to the administration of ex-
planning the position in which the government
of this country is placed and the objects of
the government to suppress the rebellion.
Mr.. Adams also, think, took occasion to
represent to the British minister, in most EN-
phatic language, the injustice of recognizing
the rebel states, and to warn him of the fact
that this government would not permit the in
reference of any foreigngovernment to pre-
vent the subjugation o the rebel states to the
Union,
1t is more than probable the Spanish gov
ernment will decline to receive Carl Schurz as
minister from this country at least the repre-
sentatives of Spain here at Washington DO not
hesitate to express such belief.-N. f.Iunes
BEAuREGARD's TACTICS.
WAsHINGToN, Sunday, June 81 have
! learned from gentleman, whose reliability is
beyond question, that on Wednesday last,
| Gen Beauregard was at Charleston, 5. c.
| There was seen and conversed with by my
| informant, who, though resident OF that city
and Union man at heart, is compelled by
| force of of public opinion to lend countenance
aud material aid to the rebel movement. Gen.
| Beauregard was well, in fine spirits and conf
dent of the result of this trouble being victory
| for the conlederacy. ut is folly" said he,
"for us to scatter our forces-part here, part at
| Richmond part at Pensacola, and elsewhere.
| We should and am determined to concen
| trate grand army of 10000 men at some
proper point, and compel the United States to
| attack us. know from reliable scouts that
| their army will not remain idle-the nature of
| its material forbids it. They are active, push
| ing men, and already INSTRUMENTATION is mani
| fest in their ranks, and no cause is more evil
dent than indction. What if they do move
forward and take possession OF this or that
point-they have get to meet our army
| shall concentrate at Manassas Gap between
| 900 and 70 900 men. They will be so in
trenched and will occupy so deensible posi-
ton as to be absolutely impregnable, and
when the strength OF the Federal troops is
spent, or worn, will utterly overwhelm and
destroy them. 1t can be done, and confess
/ can see no other way for us to do."-N. I.

| GEN. BANKS AT BALTIMORE.
| WASHINGTON, June 9.-Major Gen. Banks
| is detailed to the command of the department
OF Annapolis, making his headquarters at Bal
! timore He received his Instructions from
| Gen. Scott this morning, and leaves for Balti-
more to morrow, and will enter upon his du-
ties Immediately. Not a day has passed since
Gen. Buffers promotion, and Gen. Cadwalla-
der took command at Baltimore, that COM
plants have not been made either to ne pres
| dent, the secretary of war, or to Gen. Scott
| about the demoralizing condition of affairs in
! that city. Notice after notice was served upon
the commanding general Of the existence OF
arms and ammunition in Baltimore in build
ings belonging to secessionists, but no notice
was taken of it. Known secessionists were,
by report, on the most familiar terms with
Gen. Cadwaader, and the chief among them
was permitted to visit Fort McHenry, almost
creating a rebellion among the men. One
man taking occasion to insult the secesslonlst
on the spot, and at the same time to notify
Gen. Cadwallader OF the displeasure OF the
men at his (Cadwaader's) leanings towards
traitors Such things out not to be. Their
existence has revived 20 some extent the mob
| spirit in Baltimore and inundated the Union
