ANTICIPATED RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN Con-
FRDERACY. There can be little doubt, We think
that trouble is brewing between Great Britain and
the United States, hence the cause of sending out
additional complement OF troops. The Quebec
papers, the other day. contained the following omi-
nous paragraph:
here this morning, by express train, at 81 o'clock
from W ashingtoD, with dispatches from Lord Ly-
ans to go to England BY The Great Eastern, and
with others ior His EXcellency, the Governor-G
eral."
A sharp eye is being kept upon the movements OF
our neighbors, aud it is said that the dispatches
have reference to the blockade and the ognition
of the Southern ConfedeTacy. The probability is
that difficulty will shortly occur in connection
with the blockade strict orders have been given
the Admiral of the British squadron not to permit
British vessels to be seized while passing out from
Southern ports.
Another startling paragraph has appeared in the
Quebec journals, as follows:
"a Queens Messenger, Mr. c. johnson, has ar
rived in town from Europe, via ashing ton, bring
ing dispatches fer His Excelencv, which, rumor
SAYS, OF an important character, relating to the
recognition of the Southern Confederacy and the
efficiency of the blockade. ."-Homilton &C. w

to the defeat:
The news from Missouri which we publish tt
