LOUISVILLE, Aug. l9.-~Ihe N. Y. Times
e1itorially says: the victory is complete
the Union army has lost al military honor.
All the journals think the battle has closed
tho door of compromise. A Paris letter
says the victory at Manassas operated pow
erfully IN favor OF the soccssionists IN far-
isian opinion. The Queens speech says
our foreign relations are friendly-she
trusts there is no danger to the Deace OF
Europe, ana has determined IN connection
with the other powers on strict neutrality
with Americans. The London Times re-
ceived by the Eohemla IS very sarcastic on
tho battle of Bull Run. 1t remarks, "thc

and the federal government in difficult COM
plicatious." Palmerston says, the payment
of entrance duty in any port wipes out the
h!eckade, thereof Bclligerants may seal a
port. but yhen it lets single vessel in, the
right is gone. Fhe London Herald says it
is in receipt of news that Louis Napoleon
has resolved to recognize the Southern Con-
fcdcracy. Ten-Brocck won the Brighton
stake.
