We presume BIr YANCEY is wei informed
upon the points discussed IN his speech he
has been in a position to procure the latest and
most reliable information respecting the dispo-
sitious Of foreign governments towards the Con
federate States, and what he says, therefore,
may be received as faithful statement of our
affairs abroad
Though we regret to hear that the great pow
eTs are not inclined at once to recognise our IN
dependence and raise the blockade, yet we are
glad to know the precise truth, unpalatable
though it BE-, and to have all doubts removed.
Now that we are advised what to expect, OF rather
how httle to expect, we feel easier snd breathe
freer, and shall be better prepared TO march for
ward in the path which duty and honor point
out. It is something to know the worst that
can befal US, since the knowledge, If rightly I'M
proved, viii enable US to nerve our arms and
brace our hearts to the work before us.
We do not know that the refusal OF foreign
powers to interfere in our behalf, should be
looked upon as a misfortune. If we had won

should not, in all probability, have properly ap-
preciated be blessing Fa7ors easily gained,
