ENGLAND AND THE SOUTHERN BLOCK
AIDE. A Paris letter in the New York Com
mercial says;
"You are publishing in the United States
a statement, or the repetition of a statement,
to the effect that up to near the time when
the Emperor Napoleon delivered his speech
at the opening Of the Chambers, the French
government was disposed to declare the block
ade of the Southern ports inefficient, and
urged upon the English government to oppose
such course, and at the last moment pre-
vailed upon the Emperor to support in his
speech the doctrine of non-intervention.
There is every reason to believe that there
is not one word of truth in this statement,
and that it was manufactured in England for
the benefit of the English government. A
consultation took place between the two gov
ernments previous to the opening of the
FrenchC Chambers and theEnglish Parliament,
to see what were the views of each govern
ment on the subject, so as not if possible to
utter conflicting doctrines and it appears
that the views of both governments exactly
coincide, and that there was no discussion
at all"

~ Gen. Burnside, on the day of the
battle at Newbern, N. c., is thus de-
scribed in a soldiers letter "You would
have laughed if you had seen Burnside on
that day. His dress was compound be-
tween coal-heaver and an Italian bri-
gand. If you have ever seen the Corsi-
can Brothers played. you can form an
idea of his costume In the early part
of the campaign, our leading officers gen.
orally dressed in very brilliant peacock
costume-but they often paid dearly for
their displays.

ISLAND No. TEN.-The correspondent
of the New York Times; now with
Foote'S fleet on the Mississippi, makes
the following mysterious reference to the
slow progress of the operations against
Island No. Ten -
"The present design of Flag Officer
Foote and others having charge Of the
matter, is to take the enemy by series
of movements, which will eventually COM
pei their discontinue without the dangers
and loss which would attend direct as
sault by the gunboats. Such a move as
this, while it will take longer, does not
afford the same occasion for sensational
columns, filled with accounts of desperate
conflicts, and long lists OF killed and
wounded and hence from certain sources
will meet much the same objection that
did Gen. McClellan's course before Ma
nassas.
What those movements are, cannot OF
course be announced in advance-suffice
it that they are ola character worthy their
distinguished origin, and will ere long re-
suit in the complete success of the Federal
arms in this department"
Looking at the map, one might sur.
mise that this means what is very proba-
bic, that it is expected that Grants col
IL
and Memphis, is expected to have some
thing to do with the fate of Island No
Ten.
