England 10 Acknowledge the Indepen-
dS1ce Of the Southern COnEederacy.
Frnno the New York Herald

We have received by telegraph from Toronto, Can
ada West the very Important intelligence that the
Toronto Leader, the government paper, Of yester-
day, declares it is IN position 20 announce "a the
most positive tees that is the intention Of the En-
gish government to acknowledge the independence
of the Southern Confederacy soon it is formed,
The Canada authorities, in view of the probability
of all the British provinces being soon annexed to
ouf Northern States take deep interest in at
fairs. The information has probably come direct
from the English government, in reply question
put by the Canadian government, which would be
naturally anxious to know what part itself should
play in the event of disruption of our Confede-
racy The answer 10 that Great Britain viii vecos-
the Independence of Southern Union.
This was foreshadowed IN Lord Palmerstons
speech which we published yesterday, and any one
ut all conversant with the history of the British
Government might have safely arrived at that con-
cluson long ago. 1t is government whose pros
perty is founded on trade, and it would sell all the
abolitionsts of Exeter Hall and New England to-
gether for its commercial interests. The Rampant
republicans who III refusing to make concessions,
depend upon the suppcttOf the English Govern
ment to aid them in the coercion of the South. on
account of the anti very sentiment Of the English
people, will noR ind themselves as much dlsap-
pointed as they may hereafter be in the expected in
surrection of the slaves, The English Government
never yet acted against its interests for sen.
tment. Itdoes not foresee the disastrous effects of
Its abolition of negro slavery in the West Indies; but
it is well known that if that measure could now be
only undOne it would never be carried In the Brit
ish Parliament. As to any moral or religious
PIE abQgt slavery operating in favor Of the North
with the British goseEnments tue lea is ridiculous
The British Government, for gain, encouraged
and protested The worship of the idol Juggernal 1T
in India, while thousands Of votarles were crushed
beneath the wheels and it has friendly relations
at this moment wlth the slave empire of Brazil
The interests of the British Government all lie
in the Southern States There is the cotton upon
whose Ranpfgctprs 20 mrnY of the English popq
lation depend fof their lives and theFe Great
Britain win find her best customers for those ar
tieles as we'll as for her other manufactures which
will probably be admitted duty free. Here is the
immense bride held ont to the English Government,
whose conscience is to be found in their pockets
and Il is sufficient reason why it should intimate
even now that it viii not permit the north 70 wage
war upon the Southern States merely for asserting
their independence,

COMMUNICATION.


EDITORS OF THE UNION 81 have seen In the Lou
isville Journal of the oath instant, a paragraph,
taken from some Cincinnati paper, in which it is
stated that Mr. FAULKNER has written from Paris q
letter, in which the suggestion is distinctly made
that il fne Southern STAGES sstaplish su ndspend-
ent government, this Southern Government will
have neither the sympathy or friendship of France
Whether Mr.. FApLKSER has written such letter
do not know but have letter from disiins
guisnsd gentleman in Paris, who is perhaps more
familiar with the policy of the French Emperor
than Mr.. FAuLASER, and whose communications
Eith the Emperor are not of diplomatic character,
in which ne says among other things;
As to the interests ana PTeiensiohs OF the South
ern States in the eyes Of other nations y
the Southern States all right; and may command
sympathy and friendship"
The source from which This letter proceeds, is
known to ysu gsntlsnsai and as i was written sf-
ter it was known in Paris that South Carolina bad
seeded you will appreciate the Importance to WHICH
it is entitled. Respectfully,
