The following we copy from the weekly review OF the

been oaetcd freely at the previous decline Nothing OF
moment las been done in tobacco, and operations in west
cru produce have been on a limited scale, at easier prices,
and mostly confined to the supply Of the trade for city
~coasumpdul. At the date Of our last review our latest
accounts from Europe We're 10 the 9TH instant, by the
steamship Arabia, since which we have received the ad-
wees Oy tue Europa reporting increased activity In the

which were taken by spectators and 3O,C0O by exporters,
leaving 5000 for the trade. Orleans miading was quoted
al IJasd, and Orleans fair AZ l45zd. The Havre market
also had been excited and remarkably active, at q further
and maeriaE advance in prices. These indicating IN
creased apprchensions that no relief could be expected
from an early opening Of our cotton ports, have been re-
garded as unfavorable, but appear TO have had but little
influence ON the views Of either planters or factors with
regard TO prices.

for future delivery, and the reported sales during The first

As for the recognition Of the Southern Confederacy,
We have nothing Of importance. We never entertained
any great opinion Of this h%0ped-fOr recogniZance- Re
eognizanee, Us we have frequently informed our readers,
viii not raise the blockade OF our ports Ihe CONNER
cHal advices are OF a very firm cotton market, confirming
the large sales of 10000 bales for the week ending the
llth January, closing with the bi-h prices OF L5sd foF
middling Orleans. This is q very uu1avOrable augury
for those anticipations which have been cherished that
the blockade would be interrupted by Great Britain by
4his date or the LIST of March. Ii will be recollected that
in November we talked Of one shilling per pound for cot
ton by the ,sst Of that month that If the blockade con
tinued, itwould advance to sd by the close Of January.
l. las now crcptup 70 49,, and some ad7lces say I'D had
been paid, with England apparently satisfied with The
delivery of our embassadors, and indicating that TIE
blockade will be respected, for the nonce only. II Is
hoped Asst is, all we have 70 do is to 60 to work aud
do the opening ourselves
The same paper says OF the system of allowing cotton
to enter New Orleans by permits
From two hundred bales by one conveyance, the per.
mits have extended 70 one thousand and two thousand
bales. In the meantime, shippers buyers Of cotton
and plsnters can have vessels 20 direct to Nstchez and
Yiaksburg, load with cotton and clear direct tor Cuba or
Europe, both ports (~Vicksbufg and Natchez) being ports
Of entry and delivery. Our authorities cannot interrupt
the navigation Of the Mississippi We hegin to think
that the bl0ekaders are b" this time, aware OF the many
evasions OF their i~nelfectua! attempts 70 keep the port
closed, and are taking enlarged measures 10 close the
mouths Of the river, 50 that the Shipment OF cotton VIII
be attended with great hazard, particularly az the IN
derwIiters haze declined, since the loss Of the Calhoun,
to assuae any naore risks A steamer leaves to-day for

queston was seized 81 sequestrated, and released under
conditions that the proceeds OF sale should be subject to
the order Of the Confederate court. VIII this steamer,
after arriving at the intended port, be arrested by the
former owner, who Is a resident Of LiucOludom From
the fate of the Calhoun, now captured, armed and used

it is unwise and impolitie for cur authorities 20 allow
any more steamers 70 leave our port uhl1 we can keep
the mouths Of the river free from the bloekaders.
