WASHINGTON, Aug. .

As much has been said about the threat
ening attitude of European powers with re-
gard to the blockade, special inquiry at
the State department authorizes us to state
that in the instance when the Niagara
was off the station at Charleston for
twenty-four hours, Lord Lyons brought
the subject to the notice OF our
Government With that exception, which
happened Il weeks ago, no foreign Govern
ment expressed word Of discomfort to this
Government concerning this blockade. On
the contrary, it is universally respected by
foreign Governments although some of their
subjects are very clamorous against it.
The question of exchange Of prisoners Is
vet undecided. The President formally op-
poses any recognition Of the rebels as a bel
ligerent power.
The National Republican intimates that
negro instruction in Lower Maryland Is
probable threatens forcible emancipation If
and Shareholders don't remain loyal.
