ACTION OF FRENCH CHAMBERS OF Con-
MERcE.- The North Briton arrived at Far
ther Point on the 22nd inst, with one day
later advices from Europe. The following is
the only item of interest, which we fud in the
telegraphic summary of her news, published
in Northern papers:
It was reported that the principal Chambers
Of Commerce in France had memorialized
the Emperor to recognize the Southern Con-
federacy and raise the blockade of the South
efn ports.
We CLEANED the above item from the tele
graphic columns of the Indianapolis Journal
of the 23rd, copy of which was placed al
our disposal last Sunday morning. Il is an
encouraging Indication of the feelings of the
commercial men of France, and we hope
their influence will not be without weigh'
with the Government. It is not safe, how
ever, to jump to the conclusion that even
their advice will cause France to recognize
our independence, and attempt to raise the
Federal blockade. A recognition of our IL
dependence would nof affect the blockade,
which is right conceded by the Federal
Government in the letter of instructions
which we republished on the 9th inst. We
fear our people are giving too much conse-
quence to the matter of recognition by for
eign powers. It is really of little moment
to US now whether they recognize our indie
pendence or not We have asserted it, and
shall maintain it at whatever cost. This the
Federal Government at Washington will find
out, and will be constrained to acknowledge
us and make treaty of peace. When this
end is attained, all other nations will be
swift to enter into commercial intercourse
with Us as an indepe' dent Nation. Let us
await the time patiently. It will surely
come.

From the Richmond Examiner.l
The Battle at Leesburg.

We have obtained some further and intel
ligent particulars of the late brilliant en-
gagement, on our side, near Leesburg, and
of the extent and glorious incidents of our
victory. These details are from the intelli-
gent testimony OF eye witnesses of the bat
tie, and may be taken as a reliable version
of it. They represent our victory to have
surpassed even the accounts heretofore pub
lshed by us, and to have given q manifesto
tion Of the ardent and desperate courage of
our troops, such as seldom has been exhi-
bited in the history of any campaign.
The fighting on our side is described as
terrific. In the thickeet Of TIE fight, the
Mississippi troops throwing aside their mus
kets, knapsacks and even hats, charged upon
the Yankees with Bowie knives, making the
attack with yells of rage and excitement.
The enemy made three distinct attacks
upon our lines. At one time in the action,
for the space of about twenty minutes, the
battle ragged, with the two opposing forces
within thirty feet Of each other, amid the
stunning reports of musketry and occasion
al essays OF the enemy to reach us with the
bayonet. The attempts to charge bay onets
on our lines was held in check each time by
the steady fire of our troops; and, when
their turn came to charge, they rushed into
the enemy with fury that is said to have
swept them into the most indiscribable dis
order and panic-strickon confusion.
Great credit in he action is awarded to
the Eighth Virginia Regiment, comm handed
by Col. EpPA HUNToN. This regiment ia
said TO have assailed the enemy on the flank
at critical point of the action, and to
have completed his disorder by the effect to
of their attack
General BAKER is said to have behaved
with the most extraordinary gallantry, and
the generosity of even his enemy accords
the highest praise to the courage and devo
ton displayed By him in the thickest of the
fight. His body was pierced through and
through by bullets. He tonight on, without
drawing The least notice to his wounds, I'M
til, at lat, he fell dead by shot from
Mississippi rifeman, that pierced his temple.
Of the number of prisoners taken by us,
the most considerable portion are said TO be
Irish and Germans, but few of the SIRE
pressible conflict" Yankees showing their
faces in the lot.

We print in another place both Southern
and Lincoln accounts of the battle at Rock
castle Ford, KY, on the 2lst inst, between
the Confederate forces under General 2 LII
GOLFER and Federal forces from Camp Dick
Robinson. The accounts are entirely irrecon-
cilable. The FederalisIs claim to have re;
pulsed the Southern troops with considerable
loss to us-the Loui>ville Journal represent
ing 1t. upon Information from Lebanon. KY.
to be as high ss five hundred. The Southern
reports make the loss triHing. We have no
doubt, whatever, that the Federal reports are
incorrect. The character of the ground on
which the battle was fought made it impossi-
BILE for Gen. ZoLLIcoFFER to bring but an in
considerable portion of bis command into
the engagement. and owing to the advantage
the enemy had in the choice of positions, be
found it Necessary to withdraw. A gentleman
who vas with our army, and left it on the
day after the fight, arrived in this city yes.
