newed Possibly, the Information brought
over by Prince Napoleon may have con-

The Loudon Globe gives prominence to
the following paragraph:
I'VE learn from an authentic source
that notification has been issued affect
ing the trade with the Southern States.
1t would appear from letter of instruc-
tious issued by Mr.. Memminger from Rich

federAte Government authorizes vessels
coming from foreign countries, to enter
any port on the Southern coast, declaring
that such port shall be considered proper

or manager shall, without delay, dispatch
n messenger to the nearest collection dis

sent by the collector to take charge of the
cargo and execute the formalities required
in connection with the entry of goods.
The London Times in an editorial on the
day of humiliation in America says that
amid all the turmoil of war a change in
the morals of communities can be deserted
AID that there is a faint glimpse OF new
lawn, and says intelligent Americans are
inclined to believe that return of peace,
though it will show mutilation and give
no security against more secession in flu
ture, will be an era of Il better aud more
orderly government in the Northern States
generally.
At conservative demonstration in ES-
sex, Captain Jones, member of Paria-
ment, expa,iated on the war in America,
and its effect on England. He argued in
favor of the right of secession, and urged
that the people of England should join in

act in accordance Herewith.
