The first idea that will probably occur to our readers
after its perusal is, that the above publication is spu-
rous. No decent could well suppose otherwise
But there is spnrlousness in the 1t genu-
inc document from the pen Of Admiral &c, Colds
borough" and such insert it in our columns as
striking record OF the times. In connection with it,
to show the character of the journal n which it first
appeared the Norfolk Union we give the following ed
ioriaL remarks upon it:
NOTICE REBELS We are informed upon perfectly
reliable authority that when there much apprehen
sion the other night about rebel raid Norfolk Commo
dore GodsbOrough sent notice ashore to the late CITY
authorities to the effect that in any rebel soldiers
made their appearance here to interfere with Norfolk he
would blow the city to fragments And that this might be
taken standing notice. and the rebel leaders have their
families prepared accordingly. This is good Com
modore say, let her rip if the rebels come and you
may blow sill together if will only make short
work of the rebels
There is doubt that Go!dsborough was drunk when
he penned the infamous production But this pal
atiou of his offence We are not at all surprised at
such beasty exhibition of himself by Lincoln Ad-
mira because expect nothing better from such
a source. But what will be thought in Europe of a
naval commander who could under anu conceivable CIR
cunastGnces, degrade himself his profession and bis
country by such vulgar, filthy BLACKBOARD produc.
ton and of press which could speak of it in the au-
datory terms in which the Union notices it? Colds
borough is but type of the whole warrior race to
which he belongs. He is about as lair specimen of
Northern chivary and decency any that could be
ected and the Union is faithful reflector OF the spirit
and conduct of the Lincoln war journals We hope
that the Admirais vdltGnt and erqu,S,tey polished
paper will find its way across the Atlantic that the
people of Europe may be thus much further enlg hened
to the character Of the enemy whom the South has
to deal with Petersburg Express

We actually get nothing from France to assist US in
this struggle. We may have got some Belgian Rifles,
but no French ones. No French cannon-no French
gunpowder.
We leave it to the acumen of our readers to discover
the reason of all this. No doubt the English are much
more of navigating people than the French, and
more likely to push their trade among kindred people,
even under the most adverse circumstances But that

The maritime jealousy OF the French is against the
English, not against the United States, and French
traders look upon those of the Northern States less

great commercial and shipping classes OF England we
have evidently far more friends and are much better

PRHEs.-A Washington dispatch, of June
7th, says
1t appears that about ITO prizes have
been taken by our cruisers. In consequence
of delay of Government officers in condemn
ing rebel vessels aud cargo captured, it is
impossible to estimate the value Cf prizes,
which must be enormous. Some idea, how
ever, may be formed of the total by the sim
gle case of the CircassiaD, which arrived at
New York few days since. This vessel
and cargo is valued at 81 5000 The crew
who captured her will probably receive
81 300 apiece. 1t Is said there are some Is
vessels, equally valuable, now trying to run
the blockade. ii is stated that English spec
ulat0rs have shipped 10000 Enfield rifles to
Nassau. where they disposed of !hem to re-
bel agents, who buy with the expectation Of
running the blockade. This is the way in
which the English have been acting as neu-
trails towards the United States in order TO
prevent the bUrrOrsof civil war.
