The News from Eurcpe-Letters Of cTarque
and Ntprfsal.

We learn by telegraph from Halifax that in
debate in the British Parliament on American
affairs the speakers generally opposed the
idea Of privateers being pirates" This is only
what might be expected after the proclamation
of the Queen declaring the neutrality Of Eng
land, and placing the United States govern
ment and the Southern confederscy on the same
level in the war. Previously, from Lord John
Russell's statement in Parliament. that the
Southern confederacy must be recognized a.
belugerent, on the same ground on which Greece
was recognized as bellgerent when shc re-
volted against the Turkish empire it was
evident that 1t was the intention of the Brit
ish government, notwithstanding the treaty
of Paris to recognise the right of the Southern
confederacy to issue letters of marquee:
and unless the proposition Of our government,
MAIDS through Mr.. Adams, to agree to the
treaty of Paris, abolishipg priyateering, should
induce the British ministry to modify it's policy,
1t follows as o consequence Of the neutrality
that privateers holding the commissions of
Jefferson Davis will be entitled TO take their
prizes into British porte, where they will be
secure from recaptnN and may be sold. Ships
Of an enemy may be captured one marine
league from the ports of a neutral and 1t is not
competent to the enemy to rescue them after
they are taken to the neutral's harbors. The
British neutrality laws and the Queens procIa.
nation prohibit the fitting out Of privateers
agains. the United States In England, and for
bid British subjects enlisting in them. But the
neutrality does not extend go far as to prevent
rrivateers taking American prizes into English
ports. Our merchant vessels ought, therefore,
to be cautious and give q wide berth to any
suspicious craft on the British coast, and they
ought, If possible, to arm Themselves for their
own safety.
Seeing that the privateers Of TIE Southern
confederacy hare commenced their predatory
operations on this side the Atlantic, and will
probably be soon Of work beyond. the ocean,

TIE WARM SEASON IN AND AROUND WASH
NGToS.-We hope that before the meeting of
Congress, in July, the necessity of any large
body of troops on the low grounds of the
lower Potomac will have ceased to exist. We
hope so, because the evening and morning air
within the influence of the poisonous exhala-
tons Of that river is charged with chills and
fevere. This malaria extends over the lower
bills Immediately bordering the stream, and Of
late years has rendered even the Presidents
house uninhabitable during the summer season,
except at the hazard Of "touch Of the ague.n
The heights Of Arlington and Of Georgetown
are salubrious; but the fats and the foot hills
between the Washington Long Bridge and
Alexandria are no safe camping places for
Northern men in July, August and September.
General Scott however, understands all this,
and hence we have an additional cause Of con-
fidence in the theory Of an early movement Of
the Union troops now encamped between said
Long Bridge and Alexandria to the more
elevated regions of the interior Of Virginia.
From New York southwark, along the Atlantic
coat, however, flannel shirts and warm dry
blankets for summer campaigning are indis-
penssble If we would preserve the health Of
our sol diers.

CARRYING THE WAR INTO Africa SURE
ESoroH.-A few days ago it was reported that
three fugitive slaves had sought the refuge Of
General Buffers camp at Fortress Monroe, and
that, in answer to the requisitioa Of their master
the General had declared them contraDand Of
war, and 20 had retained them and set them to
work. Next day, it appears, eleven more Of
these contraband niggers drop in, and the day
succeeding forty more, and the day after that
there Is an accession Of hundred. Appre-
bending next a general slave stampede into his
camp, General Batter appeals to Washington
for instructions concerning these contraband
niggers. The President approves OF his con-
duct, and he is recommended to 90 on
as he has begun. In this matter he has
struck this Southern instruction in a place
which il as vulnerable 40 the heel Of Achilles:
and we dare say that, In receiving and Selling
the slaves Of rebels as contraband Of war, this
Southern confederacy will be substantially sup
pressed with the paciacstion OF Virginia. The
Confederate armies may hold out for some time
on short allowances OF clothing, corn bread
and shinplasters; but when II comes to the
stsmpsdiDg Of tAeir negroes by hundreds and
by thousands, they will be glad enough to sub

We have reliable information that Mr.. Davis and
his entire Cabinet took formal leave Of Montgome-
~ on Sunday last, and proceeded to Richmond,
where they are no doubt now located. They
brought their families with them. General Davis
is to take command Of the Confederate army in
person, and ex Senator wigfa, of Texas, has been
appointed his chief Abide Camp. General
Beauregard is in command at Norfolk. The
greatly exaggerated. They are by no means
in as good condition "a represented, and the
people are very uneasy about the prospect before
them. In many places throughout the South pro-
visions have already reached fabulous prices
butter bringing dollar . pound, and other
ARTICLES in proportion.
The rebel troops around Fort Pickens still con.
tinue preparations as if they designed an attack,
but we are Of opinion that the idea has been, as
we before stated, altogether abandoned. Colum-
biads are, however, being mounted on the rebel
batteries, and raft or floating battery is about
to be sent down the river. Colonel Brown
has notified General Bragg, however, that if
he continues his hostile operations he will open
fire upon him from the fort, and Bragg has
replied that he does not care for the fire, but
will go on with his movements. In this way
fight may probably be brought about at Fort
Pickens, after all.
The news from England received by the Anne.
RIGA at Halifax yesterday, shows thatthe American
question still actively occupies the minds of
British statesmen and is the theme of Parliamen-
tary discussion In the House of Lords the Earl of
Derby, Lords Brougham, Granville, Chelmsford
and Campbell had passage of words with refe-
renee to the question Of the blockade, and as to
the difference between privateering and piracy, of
which We give a report in our foreign news.
wide difference Of opinion exists between them
upon these subjects.

COMMERCIAL EMBA2RAs5MENrS--PAIIl Arrvgs
FOR S0CTHIRS RFPuDFArIeS.-The South has
almost 10 q man repudisiei Ito Northern debts,
and some Of the seeded States have even goqs
20 far a. to make II treason to pay Northern
creditor. This shameful disregard of obliga-
TONS the non-fulflment Of which war has
never before been held to excuse has of
course caused considerable embarrassment
among commercial men generally In TIE icyd
States. The failures have beea more numerous
than Of any former period Of cur commercial
history, and those that have not been utterly
ruined have been kept s6oat only By the aid OF
extensions In some Of the States efforts have
been made TO palliate the severity Of the crisis
by legislation, and in Pennsylvania stay law
has been passed with this object. Although
our community suffers more than any other

FINANCIAL STRAITS OF THE REBEL G0yERN
MENr. Notwithstanding tho Wanted readiness
of Southern men to sacrifice everything for the
cause Of seceesionism, 1t turns out that ths|
Montgomery fipanciers cannot get their ffteea
million loan completed. Those who have gos
money have no faith, and those who have faith
have got no money. The fact, 1t must be
owned, ia not a very encouraging one, for III
indicates that secessionism has taken but littlei
hold among those who have really any stake
In the welfare OF the South. In the setting up
of new governments, however, az in the COM
mencement of young households, it is necessary
to keep up appearances. With this view, Mr.
Jefferson Davis Secretary of the Treasury
emits loan of fifty millions before the first one
is taken up. This Is playing at the game Of
brsg with rather an open hand. There may be
difficulty in discovering the exact numerical
force of an enemy, but government loans are
operations that cannot be easily kept Disguised
If the hundred thousand soldiers which the
Southern confederacy is said to have put int \
the field have no better basis than its loans
we may safely conclude that large proper
buckram.
Seriously, the failure Of this fifteen million
loan is an ugly fact in the inception of JEFF
Davis promising young empire. There Is but
one resource now left him, and that is to play
the buccaneer financially as well AZ politically
The whole of the specie in Southern banks ct
the present moment is only about twenty five
millions of dollars. This he will be sure 10
pounce upon; for if necessity in ordinary cases
knows no law, in such case as his it knows
no scruple. War cannot be carried on without
money; and as it has been proclaimed to the
world that the Southern patriots will eat their
boots sooner than be again compelled to enter
into fraternal relations with the North, it fol
lows that these twenty-five millions will have
to be confscated before they arrive at that
tough alternative.

TIE BLOCKADE AND IT'S EFFEcr--A Fore
rebellious subjects of JEFF. Davis begin to find
out that secession is not such an easy path to
tread as they were assured it was, The block
ade kept up By our squadron along the entire
Southern coast is making itself felt already in
the scarcity and consequent high price of pro-
visions. Before it was put in operation the me-
cessaries of life ranged at pretty nearly the
came rates In New OrleaW as in New YORK.
Since then, while there has been no apprecia-
bic difference here, prices have actually doubled
in the Crescent City. Flour, which in New
York costs S. per barrel, sells in New Orleans
at from 50 to $40; corn, which costs As cents
per bushel here costs there from rs to IS cents;
pork sells at $25 per barrel there, against
SIP so here, and 80 on with other articles. In
Virginia even provisions are only to be had ct
famine prices, and that while hostilites are not
yet fortnight old In that State.
We know Of no better way to bring the de-
iuded adherents of secession to their senses

oose idea that the blockade which locks UP
their own products and leaves them utterly
valueless on their hands, and which shuts of

West, may be broken by the English or French
fleets. few weeks more will probably open
their eyes to the egregious folly of entertaining
such hope. When the masses Of the Southern
people realize, as they will then do, into what
a suicidal position they have allowed them
selves to be duped, they may relieve the cd
