The Prospect OF Foreign lnEerveu-
tton.
We have been entertained by foleignlet-
ter writer's, of late, with renewal of the
i gossip about intervention, and some have
gone so far as to tell as how il was to be
done. Napoleon was at the bottom of
the mischief. aud had been urging Eug
land TO cooperate. Russia bad also
been drawn into the scheme, in consider
alton of certain assistance in her ag-
gressions npon the Porte. This joint offer
of mediation was to be followed, il iuetfec-
tuaI, by recognition: and this was the ex-
tent to which England and Russia were 70
GO; but not so France. Having recognized
the Confederacy, she was to give it mate
rial as well as moral assistance, aud to this
end the Mexican expedition WIS to he used
as cover for dispatehiug powerful feet
TO the Gulf and q large land force to Vera
Cruz.
How much of truth all this contained
and how much of it was idle gossip or
manufactured by the imaginative letter
writers, will best be Judged by the last
steamers news. The St Petersburg jour
nal denies that Russia has entered into an
arrangement or mediation, aud the denial
has almost The weight of official authority
Earl Russell. in The House of Lords, in
formed the British public that England had
had no correspondence with foreign powers
on the subject; aud the Queen, in speech
prorogueing Parliament, declares that
nothing has transpired to change her origi-
nal intention of maintaining strict neutral
lily between the parties in the cigil war.
This news, taken in connection with q
recent article IN the Richmond ErdmHIer,
rOuniIy abusing England for her anIi-sla-
very prejuiices, and assuring the rebels
that they must abandon all hope OF foreign
) aid, seems to as conclusive offs intention
on the part of foreign Powers TO stand alooi
and watch the progress Of events before
coming to any discrimination to offer medi-
iatiOn. Ii depends, therefore, on ourselves,
