If we may judge from the evident miyeivinas o
Yankee correspondents, as to the recognition of b
South there can be little doubt that cotton is don,
its work for us 10 Europe quite as efseually as h,
most ssnguile amongst us have anticipated. W,

Nothing more unmanly, more insulting or more

will am sure, convince the most hard headed alb
Olitonist thar the English Government is in favor of
the south, as even after the long continued howl
against slavery IN the United Ststes kent NJ until
now By the English press, we see them, where tae
liberty Of the slave is concerned siding against the
North. @
Does any one wish England's Government to
speak out more clearly than it does? Some people
can't take hint-a sound kick is required to ava.
ken them from their torpor Surely there are kicks
and well applied ones too, and Americans viii IN
derstand that they must depend upon themselves
ask no foreigners to help them--and prove to En-.
rope in general and England IN particular that the
race has not degenerated. e. -slH
Several French officers were anxious TO take ser
vice in the American aFmy-Of course mean the
Federal army, as there is no other American army.
They have received most peremptory orders to !
give I'D all idea of such step; and fears being en-
tempted to leave for the United States, leaves of
absence have been countermaDdsd and all young
officers called back to their regiments. France will
grant no aid to the North Why, even the gunsth
are bought here by American agents are, by order
of the government to be shipped at Toulon instead
of Havre This Is announcing 70 Southern pri |
vateers Just where and when they may. overtake
vessels laden with arms. Why should such an aFb-
trary order be given by this government unless il
were that feeling Of hostility to the North is up
permost? --.. e.. .. ---. .e-- h.-.
One fact will strike all unprecedented persons
as direct proof that the governments of France
ard England are inimicsl to the North. and are in
direct communication with the Southern rebels
don and Paris journals that the Southern COnfede \
racy had issued decree prohibiting the exports of \
cotton sugar OF tobacco until European nations
had recognized the South. Last night the Paris
Journals published communiqus from the Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs to the effect that the gov
eminent here had no notice Of any such decree
and that from Mr. Davis well known ability and I
previous policy there was good reason to doubt
the existence Of any such Decree" The London
journals have made like assertion. What does this
is that no
in communication with Representatives OF the South
both here and in London? 1t is fair or honorable
they should be!
should have stated above that all the abuse
which has been heaped upon US about Garibs!di Is
to say the least of E entirely unealled for, yet
no proof or certainly exists that the United States
has made the General any offer what
sOever. The mere rumor was eagerly seized upon
to heap abuse upon the North Ii is much more {
than likely that the rumor has no foundation what
ever and is a ruse Of the agents of the Davis Gov
ernment now here or in London .s-+ Z
You will perceive by your English files that an {
effort is being made to render plausible French
and English intervention in Mexico. Petitions are
being signed in this city and London aSd sent the
Secretary of War, urgently advising that England
and France should at once send large force to
Mexico to protect the citizens OF these governments
nhabiting that troubled republic. Spain of course a
yoes further-she acts at once-assured as she is
of the sympathy Of France.
