that Independence which is . fact 1t Is not
now the capjt2l of the Confederacy which is
beleagured, but that Of the Uuionists. Ii IS
Washington that is in peril, not Richmond.
Every conquest made by the Federals early IN
the year has been given up or IS on the point OF
being surrendered. The Confederate States are
free from the presence of an enemy except at
New Orleans and few unimportant points
along the coast
Three invasions have been batfisd orrepelledi
three invading armies have been shattered both
separately and together. What DO we wait for
or what DO we require2 Guu50ats, indeed, may

is not 20 be bar to justice. The siege Of Wash
ington places the CJnfsderates in position TO
demand their recognition. They are no longer
on the defensive but the ASSISTANTS. They have
won the admiration uf civilized nations for their
c0nslancy, torutUde, endurance and bravery.
They have managed to create resources when
shut out from the commerce of the earth they
have beaten az insolent and bully ing people three
times their number, and are We TO initiate the
conduct of New York journalists, and ignore
facts n hopes of other facts at some unmention-
able period The siege Of Washington is the
deathblow Of the Union as it was. Five differ
ent confederacies each larger than Austria and
France together, will be formed out of the frag
ments. Is it necessary, is it just, that million
more men should be slain before we allow our
selves to pronounce an acknowledgement Of an
so nobly defended and so bril-
liantly achieved

Meanwhile the Confederates must be coagrat-
ula,ed on having fully viudiesled the confident
predictions with which, from the beginning Of
the contest, they have appealed to the symps-
thies of Europe. They have given a complete
snswer to allthose persons who doubted whether
they could cope successfully with the superior
resources Of tie North, and whether, therefore
they were justified in seeking independence by
force of arms All doubts of that kind are set
at rest by the recent triamphs ia Virginia The
South, both by their military qualities IN the
field and by theft craftsmanship in the coUn-
ell, have cleery established their tile to a sepa
rate nationality. and the sooner that title is Te-
cognised by the North the less cause viii the
latter have for subsequent regret. Should it
delay the concession much longer, the result
f0resbadowed by New York writer
may actually occur, in the restoration Of the
Union BY conquest on the Psrt OF the South.
Already President Lincoln has lost much OF his
advantage in treating r frontier, end a few
more defeats Ike these sustained by General
Pope may almost leave him without a frontier
for which 70 treat.
NAPOLEON's TROOPS IN MEXICO MAY OPERATE
IN AMERICAN DIFFICULTIES.
Paris CORE spondence London Times, Sept I6.I
10 the way Of news from America, We hear
that the Alabama, Confederate man-of-war, the
departure Of which from Liverpool was lately
noticed, has by this time arrived out at the Ba-
hemas, where she was te be met, it is ssid, by
another Confederate armed steamer, which would
place herself under the orders Of the A'abama's
commander, the renowned Captain Semmes
These two steamers, IL IS considered, viii be
amply sufficient to give an account Of the Fed
eral cruisers which have been allowed literally
to blockade Nassau. So We may expect soon to I
have the accounts Of the war varied by details
OF an action at sea
1t IS further stated to-day that French cruis-
ers, in Tue Gulf Of Mexico on the lockout for
Mexican vessels, have captured some Federal
craft, which, it is thought, may lead to compi-
cations Another incident, which, if confirmed
and it reaches ms from good authonty-is
net likely to improve the state OF Ieeiing be-
tween the Cabinets of Washing on and Paris, is
the discovery of 30 GOO mUsket5 having been
sent from California to Mexico, wiIh it is posi-
lively sthnned, sum OF money in addition.
There is said to be satisfactory proof f0Tthcom-
ing, that the arms and specie proceeded rom the
Federal government, aud not from individuals

Of marine, says that his visit TO the Z npsIJr IS

sand men, including the LOrenceG division"
Without fixing an exact number, there is reason
to believe that the number of the troops sent to
Mexico Or possibly to tie French Indialsland },

expected. YOu had details of ahJUs iweUty-
seven thousand proceeding f0m different French

division are difficult to ascertain, as we have 10
correct account of the casualties by disease, etc,
but with the small Teiniorcemenls previously
sent him and the maglneg, e.c, at Vera Cruz,
We must suppose not less than i've to six ihJu-
sand men. We now hear OF a further and con-
siderable shipment as ordered, and of another
as-cOmplated, and, should this last intelligence
be verified, it is not improbable that, including
soldiers OF all descriptions, marines, naval
brigade (Which might at any time be formed,

THE ''INKLING" OF PEACE IN LIVERPOOL.
