GREAT BRIrAIN.-The news of The
capture of New Orleans was received by
the Canada and was the occasion of much
surprise and considerable disbelief, but
coming from southern sources il wss
generally argued that there was no room
for doubt 1t produced influence on the
cotton markets. The Times says it is .
hard blow for the South and great
triumph for the North, another proof
that ths North can do more harm to the
Confederates than the Confederates can
do to them. The Times asks how it will
effect England. 1t says the American
Ministers ut London and Paris are told
to assure the Governments that plans are
being matured for mitigation of the
blockade, and this promise has been
made from time to time in Paris for some
weeks past as we can well understand,
with most sincere desire on the part of
the Federal Government to fulfill it,. II
the Federals possess New Orleans there
is OF course an end to the blockade OF
that City. There ii only one thing
wanting, that cotton should come down.
If the Southern planters trust it to The.
Federals, sufficient will doubtless be got
to relieve the manufacturers, but il they
remove or destroy their stocks, or refuse
to bring them down it 10 hard to say
what is gained by the capture of New
Orlsans.
The capture is creditable to the skill of
| the North, and is also an item in the re-
venge of the Fcderals, but if the city is
Nv to be blockaded on the land side by
the Confederates. the gains will not be
much by this mitigation of the blockade.
In another article the Times says il Is
vain to deny the Importance Of the event,
but if the Southerners mean what they
say in their loud talking. which the
Times rather questions, they can never
be conquered.
The Herald declined to believe the fall,
but admits that if true il would be sig
nal triumph for the North.
The Morning Post also doubts and
| thinks If confirmed it will not seriously
affect the fortunes of either party al
| though = serious loss to the South. 1t
says the utter hopelessness of the strug-
gle is more apparent at each successive
stage.
The daily News says there is good
reason for doubling the capture, and re-
CARDS it Of great Importance. II highly
eulogires the convmmate skill by the
| North in this matter.
The news per the City of New York
received just before the Kangaroo left
Liverpool of course dispelled all doubts
The impression prevailed in Manchester
that the event would bring forward some
cotton.
II was reported that Count Persigny
was suddenly ordered from Paris to Lon
don, it was supposed on the mission
relative to the steamer Economist with
500 bales Of cotton and 400 barrels Of ro-
stu which arrived at Liverpool from
Charleston. Speculations continue re-
lative to Aercier's visit to Richmond, but
nothing reliable. The. Opinione Rationale
asserts that 1t merely referred to French
tobacco.
1t was reported there was salitory
conspiracy in St. Petersburg in favor Of
| Poland.
