cerity Of the intentions of the Federal cabinet in
this direction, and states that with the fall Of
New Orleans, " there is sn end of the blscks ls
of that port"
Only one thing was wanting, in bis opinion,
and that was that cotton should come down
to Nsw Orleans. Should the rebels destroy the
stock, lie adds, " it is hard TO see what is gained
by the capture"
The L pndon Post and ''Hersld'-the
organs OF the Catins. and extreme sristOcIAts-
were inclined TO uudcrrste the value OF the
achievements, so far as commercial benefits to
| Europe were TO be xyt cted from it.
| The impr, ssion in Manchester, at the latest
moment, was to the effect that tie fall of New
Orleans Ould bring forward more cotton

with eight millions of persons brought into the
Union by force, to see the means for the pay |

their subjug4tiOn, yet the elation caused by /
the recent military success is So e1traTsgant /
at the North that NO Federal doubts fall and |
final victory to be within the government.
As regards the South, the London Times says |
they are apparently as determined as ever but /
from the manner i'll which the military leaders
have allowed themselves 10 bs wOrsted on the
Mississippi, the confidence of their own people |
and foreigners must be shaken in the Ultimate |
success OF thcif cause.
The L ndun Morning Post rei:eEates its belief 1
thst the effect Of the Fe leIal e. :upancy OF New
Orleans on the war will be inappreciable. |
The London Morning Herald" Of the l7th /
believes That the Confederate retreat from YORK !
town will be found piece Of mastery strategy |
by the CVnfedeTa,es to gain time, when evUty |
weeks delay is Of the u,mostimportance. They |
compel the enemy to take up positions at a
greater distance from his base ef operations thus
depriving the enemy of his chief source of
strength-the sid Of gunb2sts--and they obtain |
a perfec. concentration Of the whole Confederate |
army in Virginia around Richmond, go render |

The object Ct the C0nfedeTates is not merely to |

disaster until the latest moment, It is hoped, |
no doubt that the Federal victory will occur 80 !
