SPEECH OF Ma YANcEv AT New ORLEANS
We have heretofore alluded to Mr. Yanceys
speech made in New Orleans on the evening
of the 18th ult There is a great deal curos-
ity expressed amongst all classes to know more
about it. We, therefore, give the following
synopsis, which we fine in the Huntsville Ala. }
AdUocate, of the 10th ult. =
Mr.. Yancey is decidedly of the opinion that
the South has no friends in Europe, and that
the North is in a similar condition. He says
there is a very strong prejudice in oil Of Eu
rope against the South in consequence Of the
erroneous impression which prevails in refer.
ence TO the institution of slavery. There are
many persons in Europe who consider the
Southern people seEi-civilized, aud believe that
negroes are raised upon the plan that stock is.
There is no disposition to interfere in Ameri
can affairs.
The blockade enables the British holders of
the great staple <cotton) to realize an i'm
mense advance upon its cost in consequence Of
the scarcity of the article. These holders are
the wealthy few, who have the ear of the Gov
ernment. Another reason for not interfering
with the blockade was the belief that the
scarcity OF the article and the remote prospect
Of obtaining a supply from this country would
create such demand for East India cotton
as to increase its culture to very considera-
| bic extent.
Another reason, in Mr.. Yancey's opinion,
why European Powers will not interfere in
American affairs is the hope and belief that a
permanent dissolution of the United States
/ will weaken a nation of whose prosperity and
greatness they had become jealous. They hope
to see the war ps otracted until both divisions
are involved in 8 ruinous debt 10 hang over
them like an incabus for years to come.
he inclines to the opinions that England
and france would sooner interfere to prevent
recons, ,rction of the Union than for any
other purpose. And be believes that their
starving operatives, engaged in the manufac.
ture of cotton fabrics, compel them to inter
fere, thew will stand al,,of until they see the
South is about to conquer It's independence. OF
fall in the attempt. He has n nope OF Tecog,
milton of the Confederate States oy el'ner ol
these Powers until the occurrence ~ one Vi
these events In view of these facts, Mr.. an,
cey is of opinion that we mightas we'll ret'all
our Commissioners from Europe and await the
action of foreign Powers-wait until they pro-
pose negotiation and recognition.

GOOD NEWS FROM FORT UNION

ST. LOUIS, Thursday, April 8. 1852
The correspondent of The Republican, under
date of Fort Union, New-Mexico, 18th, states:
Colonel SIough's Colorado Regiment of in-
fantry, $50 strong, arrived here five days ago.
The effective fighting force now here is 400
men, sufficient to defend this depot against
any force the rebels can bring against US.
We have stores enough to last our troops
three months This fort is the strongest on
the Western frontier, being $40 feet square,
with parapet seven feet high and ditch eight
feet deep and five feet wide. 1t contains we'll
stocked magazines. Ordnance for the works
have been received, and will probably be
mounted Immediately.
At the latest adviceS Col. Candy was still
shut up at Fort Craig 26O miles south of here,
and the Texans, 400 strong, were at Albu-
querque with 90 pieces of artillery, about half
way between here and Fort Craig. Other ac-
counts state that the Rebel Coonels Steele
md Baylor, with 1870 Texans, are advancing
on this fort.
The Texans hold Santa Fe, where they
have organized provisional government, with
Gen. Pelham rs Governor
If forward movement can be made with
out jeopardzing this depot, it will be doue,
and an effort made to relieve Col. Canoy, anu
thus reclaim Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
Colonel Slough, as the next ranking officer,
is in command of this Department, while Col
onel Candy is penned up in Fort Craig.

FORTRESS MONROE, OLD PoNr COMFORT, April ?,
Via BALTIMORE April 3, 1862.
The weather TO day is clear and pleasant, and
everything is progressing in the most satsfac-
tory manner. The Rebels fred several shots
from SewaI's Point last night, on the trans
ports in the harbor some of the shells falling
within fifty feet of vessel loaded with hor-
ses.
A reconnaissance was mede from Newport
News yesterday, to Watts Greek, distance
Of nine miles
The enemy appeared 5000 strong, and
opened with cannon on our forces, but their
balls passed entirely over them.
Our batteries were Immediately got in posi-
ton and we opened fire on the Rebels, when
their entire force broke and fed ,fordiug across
the creek in great confusion, but keeping out
of range.
The object of the reconnaissance being ac-
complished, the troops returned.
The whole country through which our troops
passed was formerly the garden,spot of Virgin
ia 1t is now perfectly devastated, and but
one house was left standing
The houses, fences, and trees have been
burned by the retreating rebels.
There are no signs of the Merrimac yet and
from her long delay the opinion is gaining
gound she will not come out again. She has
now a fine field to operate in if she should
triumph over the Monitor, and if she should
fail to come now, it is thought she is afraid to
run any risks.
An officer of the Seminole says. that he read
a Savannah paper Of the 23d nit, which ac-
knowedged terrible Rebel defeat at Pea
Ridge, and admitted there was no use to at
tempt to conceal the fact.
The English steamer Racer arrived bere
this morning, and saluted the flag, which was
responded to by the fort. Some compliments
also passed between the French vessels and
the Racer, occasiOuing quite cannonade.
A second reconnaissance was also made yes
terday to Big Bethel, when the enemy was
found to have returned and occupied the earth
works in force.
o. seeing our scouts, they threw shells in-
to the woods occupied by our troops on the
previous advance, but they were unoccupied,
and no damage was done.
1t not being the purpose Of our advance to
engage the enemy, no response was made to
their guns.
A flag of truce to day brough down an Off
Ger of the French steamer from Norfolk
The steamboats, conveying troops to New
port News were repeatedly fred into from Se-
wallis Point, and also by a rebel gunboat this
Afternoon. No damage was done, SO far as
we can learn.

FLoRIDA-Another State has been wrested
from the sham Confederacy. Pensacola has
been evacuated, together with Forts Barran-
cas- and EcRae, and the whole area of Florida
has been abandoned to our armies General
Sherman has issned a proclamation TO the
FIordians, in which he assures them that his
mission is one Of peace rather than conquest.
A II loyal ritizens are assured that they shall
be protected in the pursuance of their occupa-
tions, and the enjoyment of their constitution
al rights The General recommends them to
assemble in their cities and towns to swear al
legiance to the Constitution of the United
States, and to elect'their officers in the "good
old way" predicting as a result the return of
prosperous and peaceful times. The citizens
of Jacksonville held a meeting on the goth
inst, at which resolutions were adopted declar-
ing the act OF secession of the State of Florida
null and void. They also recommend that a
State Convention be held for the purpose of
choosing State officers, and that, until that
time, the military authorities of the United
States be requested to afford them aid and
protection.

WASHINGTON, April s, 1862.

Important news reached the War Depart
ment from Fortress Monroe aud Yorktown up
to a late hour last night. The substance OF
the news is this General Mcclellan made o
careful examination of the rebel works at
Yorktown on Sunday, and found them to be
very strong and the approaches difficult. The
water batteries at Yorktown and Gloucester
were considerably increased 1t was evident
that siege trains and mortarS would have to be
employed before assaulting the place, and that
although its capture was certain, siege two
or three days might be necessary. All the i'm
portant works before Yorktown were already
taken by our troops, and the greatest enthus-
asm prevails among them. Supplies were be-
ing rapidly received from Shipping Point, which
was taken possession of by our army on Sun
day. q new rebel battery was discovered at
the Rip Raps, and was shelled out by our men.
A despatch from General Wool states that the
rebel General Magruder has 10000 men at
Yorktown.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The. news from Fortress Monroe is interest
ing. The latest intelligence of the position of
the Merrimac is that she was still taking in
coal al, the. Norfolk Navy Yard on, Saturday
night. 1t was reported that the renowned
Captain Hollins was to take command of her.
A report reached Fortress Monroe that the
rebels had warned General Burnside to aband-
on Newburn within six days or take the con-
sequences, and that the General replied thst
he would soon meet the enemy at Goldsboro'
and at Raleigh, and there settle the question
of evacuation. The latest from Beaufort
states that Fort Macon stills holds out, but
that formidable preparations are being made
by our troops to she'll it within few days,
m which event its reduction will become inev-
table. 1t was reported that fight was pro-
crossing at Yorktown on Saturday afternoon.
Dispatches received at the War Department
dated at three o'clock Sunday, state, no wever,
that reconnaissance had been made towards
Yorktown, but that no generel engagement had
taken place up to that hour. There had been
some caunonading, but the result is not permit
ted to transpire. The headquarters of our ar
my is within five miles of Yorktown.
Our only news from Island No. 10 is con-
tanned in despatch from New Madrid to the
Secretary of War, dated Saturday stating that
our gunboat Carondelet run the gauntlet at
the Island on Friday night, passing through
Ero fro 4lo hot nit do
and is now available to General Pope.
By the arrival of the United States trans
port Atlantic, from Port Royal, S. c., Sun
day evening which brought Gen. Sherman and
staff--we learn that our forces at Jacksonville,
Florida, were momentarily expecting an attack
from the rebels, consisting Of two Mississippi
regiments aud one of Florida guerias, with
troop Of horses and a battery of artillery
Brigadier General Wright, commanding our
troops at that place, was confident OF being
able to sustain himself and protect the town
and the inhabitants, the majority of whom are
Northern men and loyal citizens. Deserters
represent the condition of the rebel forces as
desperate, being entirely out Of food and rely
ing upon foraging for subsistence.
Dispatches lately received in Mobile from
Memphis state that General Buels army has
reached Savannah, Tenn, from Columbia
From the same source we learn that 1000
Onion troops had landed at Biloxi from three
vessels, and had destroyed the telegraph line
between New Orleans and Mobile.
