TNTERVENTTON RUMORs.

When the rebel leaders saw there was a

lish Ministry announced in explicit terms
their determination not to interfere In our
affairs, il was inserted that France had
oil along been anxious to intervene in be-
half of the rebels, and had sent commune
cations to the English Ministry on the SUBJ
iect. 1t seems, however, that this was an
unfouuded rumor. In the House of Lords,
on the 18th of June, Earl Caernarvon, OBJ

prove true, cAhed on the Government for
information. Earl Russell, in response,

was glad the question Of mediation had
been put, for such rumors we're likely to
