The heretofore magic word, cotton. ID
scarcely lisped nowadays on the flags. Some
parties-would-be operators hope that the
blockade may be broken or raised, bnt hop
ing will not effect it. 1t is manifest that
Great Britain will adhere to the position she
assumed months ago--a strict neutrality.
There has been much talk and a great many
comments on what has been termed running
the blockade. Reports-and they will prove
to be simple repOrts-say that sic vessels
have run the blockade since the 10th OF May
last. This is very wild estimate, even if it
is supported by returns or statements in the
departments at Richmond. The blockade
was enforced off the mouths of the Mississippi
river on the 25th of May, at which time there
were forty sail of vessels in this port out
ward bound, which were permitted to pro-
coed to sea. The blockade commenced of
Mobile and Pensacola about the same time.
Vessels were allowed to leave these ports IN
til the 9Th of June. As for SIG vessels rum
ming the blockade, we don't believe they can
be figured up. The report came from the
city of rumors, Richmond. So far as New
Orleans is to be considered, the last arrivals
via the Baiize were on the 18th of May last.
Vessels trading on Mississippi Sound to No
bile cannot be embraced as running the
blockade. Ii 80, the coast packet Creole has
been running il tri weekly. There have been
some arrivals and departures of schooners
from the bayous and bays oRsthe Gull, but
they would form very moderate share OF the
number of 516.s There have been some
coasting vessels on the coast Of Carolina
evading the blockade: but all these will not
count up SIG. On the other hand, the Hes
sian steamer South Carolina has captured
seventeen sehooners in attempting to run the
gauntlet between New Orleans and Texas
ports There have been only three or four
vessels from Europe-one the Bermada-that
have successfully run the blockade Some
few West India traders have met with success
on the Carolina coast. 1t is misleading for
eign Governments to make assertions of this
character, that the blockade is easily avoided,
when not q vessel has entered the port of
New Orleans via the river for over Eve
months, and only one via the lakes from g
foreign port. Great Britain aud France re-
cognize the closing of oer ports. whether it
is effectual or Intellectual It IT, however,
thought that the steamer Nashville has got
out OF the port of Charleston aud gone some
where Ii is also evident that the steamer
Theodore, or Gordon, made asuccessful trip
from that port to Cuba aud back. We learn
that Messrs Siideli and Mason were TO have
. left Havana on Yesterday, the 9th, in the
British steamer for Southampton.
