The English journals continue to eXpatiate
on the retreat from Yorktown and the fall of
New Orleans. The Times treats the retreat
from Yorktown as great reverse to the con-
federates, and says if Richmond is captured
it will be tremendous victory to the tederals.
1t metaphorically argues on the difficulties
that must arise in governing the south when
the tederals by continued victories have
brought the secessionists within their power.
The Daily News says, although the fall of
New Orleans in a military sense cannot be
overrated, it is of far greater importance in
its social, commercial and political results,

way for the industrial energy of freedom and
altogether destroys the political position and
territorial prestige Of the southern confedera-
cy. The great territories of the west are lost
to the slave confederation, and this alone is a
suitable recompense for all that has been
| spent IN the war. 1t is an enormous gain,
not only for the Union but for Europe. 1t

bic to both, but admits that it will be no easy
task to reconcile the requirements of both.
The Liverpool Post regards the war as vir-
tually at an end and looks for the proclama-
ton of peace at any moment.

lations of France and England, referred to

baSsad0rs at Washington, and reasserted that
Notwithstanding the ministerial denials rival
ry existed between them, and it would be
