Foreign News.

We select the following items of foreign
news by the Jura e:
ENGLAND.-The Adrtatic took out news
that the British government would not
permit privateers or armed vessels to take
prizes in British ports. Lord John Rus.
sell, in his letter to the Lordso of Admiralty,
directing them to carry out this intention,
says it is done to secure the strictest neu.
trality. Mr.. Liddell gave notice that he
would ask the Minister if the Introduction
is not at variance with former practice,
and the reason for q change of maritime
policy
The London Times editorially replies
to the outcry of the Northern States a
gainst England, and shows that it is wholly
unfounded.
Lord Stanley had given notice Of his iu'
tention to ask what steps the government
had taken to prevent the violation of neu
trality in the case of regiments of volun
teers from Canada, who offered their ser
vices to the United States.
Lord John Russell said that he had nt
knowledge of the tender of Canadian regi
ment to the United States.
Nine cases of rifles, addressed to the
Commercial Bank of New York, were re
fused by the agents of the steamer Adri
attic at Galway.

THE FATE OF THE BRITISH NoLU

THE FATE OF THE BRITISH FoLUN-
rEERs.-We find the following in the
Montreal Commercial Advertiser:
"Col. Austin, of the much-talked-of
Britishregiment, ofNew York, returned
to Canada poorer and no doubt WI
ser man. 1t appears from his statement
that there never was any British regl-
ment; the whole thing was monstrous
lie and fraud, not eighty men having
offered for it. Nor was their any pay
forthcoming; and the colonel, after pro-
ceeding to Washington and vainly sup
plicating the authorities there for his
expenses, concluded to secde from
service which promised neither profit
nor honor. Some of his companions,
who we're without means of their own,
are unable toretun, being kept in pawn
by inexorable hotel keepers. So ends
the farce of the British regiment.

The Privateer Savannah.

A despatch from New York, dated June
Is, says:
The schooner Savannah, privateer, in
charge of Midshipman Cook, arrived this
afternoon, with the Stars and Stripes, fly
ing in triumph over the Secession flag
She was captured by the brig Perry, about
sixty miles off Charleston. She had taken
the brig Joseph, of Rocklaud, and sent her
into Georgetown, S. c. The Sarannah is
armed with an 1S-pounder pivot gun amid
ships, and was formerly pilot boat. Her
crew, consisting of 80 men were in irons
on board the minnesota.
A Baltimore paper, alluding to the prob
able fate of the crew of the Saraanah,
says:
The capture of the Saoannah, and the
placing of her crew in irons on board the
Minnesota, is exciting considerable discus
sion. A good deal of debate has arisen in
relation to the disposition to be made of
these prisoners. The war press of New
York claim that if they are to be considered
privateers, they should have been hung
at the yard arm, and they demand, at all
hazards, the execution Of the death penal
ty. The President, however, it is said,
will treat them as prisoners Of war.

The Month of Battles.

June appears to be the favorite season of
the God of War Many of the most cele-
brated battles of the worlds history have
been fought during its long days aud hot
periods. Bunker Hill, the first pitched
battle of the American Revolution, was
fought on the 18th of June, 1775. Water
loo, the great engagement which termlna-
ted the wars of Napoleon, was fought on the
18th of June, 1915. Napoleon gained two
of his most decisive and famous victories on
the 18th of June, viz: that Of Narengo,
over the Austrians, in 1900, and the Fried
land over the Russians, in 1907. The
great battle of Solferino, which finally
crushed the power of Austria in Italy, was
fought by Louis Napoleon and Francis Jo-
seph on the oath of June, 1859. One OF
the most bloody and desperate attacks made
upon Sebastopol was made by the English
and French on the Malakof, on the 18th
of June, 1855, in which they were de-
feated with severe loss. The battle of Mon
mouth, of the American Revolution, dis
tinguished by the bad conduct of General
Lee, who had command of portion of our
forces on that occasion, was fought on the
intensely hot day of June IS, l77s. To
these, which are but few of Juue's san:
culinary mementoes, we add the chronicle
of the bloody engagement at Bethel, Vir'
ginia, where more than one hundred Fed
eral troops were killed and twice the mum,
Der wounded. And this only the comence'
ment.-LouisviNc Courier.

Secessionists in Illinois.

fishes a letter dated Marion Illinois
May %, which says,
This is an awful place and full of Sc
cessionists. Yesterday they closed up
the printing office and made the editor
leave simply because he was for the
Union. We are looking every day for
a regiment Of men from Cairo to put
this thing down. The streets are at
this time full of men, generally drunk,
and ''hallowing' for Jeff. Davis and
the Southern Confcderacy. A few days
ago d company organized here and went
South to fight for the rebels. A COM
pany of Secessionists is now in the
square cutting the Douglas pole. This
beats anything | ever expected to see
in Northern State.
We have the best reasons to know
that so far from there being ''united

true and brave men in Indiana and H.

they will soon make themselves both

"It is said by some that Gen. Butler was

his troops came dashing down the road at

them, Butler accosted him and asked him
what they were running so for. The cap

KENTUCKY AND OHIo.-The sight of
a company of hardy kentuckisns on the
capital square, last Wednesday evening,
has elected from the Richmond Enquirer
an incident of the war of 1872, Illustrative
of the Indian estimate of the comparative
efficiency of Kentucky and Ohio troops on
the field of battle. \ British officer in the
northwestern campaigns related that their
Indian allies had great horror of Ken
tuckians, while they looked upon Ohioans
as not very formidable. 1t was common
saying among them, "One Indian, one
Kentuck-oue Indian two Ohio" mean
ing that in their view it took two Ohio men
to make one Kentuckian or one Indian
"On certain OCCASION" said the British
officer, "we determined to attack party Of
Americans not far from US, in an open field,
and called upon the Indians temperate with
US. They hesitated at first, but consented
on being ted that they had to fight Ohio
troops. In few minutes the fire was open.
ed upon US, rather unexpectedly to our off
GERS, upon which the Indians all took tt
.heir heels, exclaimiug in broken Englisl
in their flight, 'Kertuck d. Kentuck ! Ken
tuck !"' This incident may be relied upoE
as historical.
Let old Kentucky once more take th'
field. Let that shout be heard across th'
river, "Keutuck Kentuck kentuck !.
