The BOurbOns; sitter which he speaks crit
iCalIy concerning the ''pitiful selt-seekipe
and worthless greed of the swarm Of spec

gsFiug shutters from danger Who call them
selves ConfedsFates"-Whiehi e avery go6d
description Of the horde Of rebels who 10
test the Capital Of France. AftsF these per-
SonAl aliusiObs be proceeds TO ''expose his
Utmost thoughts" concerning an "importaHt
public movement which he does rot spe
city, but which, Hs appears from the con-
text, rsfers to the dismissal from the Con-
federacy of all the COnsuls or agents OF
European Governments. he thinks thai
this would have administered grave rer
buke 70 Europe" would "have aPPealed 70
the conscience of BuroPe," ''WoUld have
produced a most happy effect, and would
have Gown suspicion between the two great
Powers" whereas the "isOlating action

il likely the Confederacy "a1ay be made s
pawn in the Mexican game" /" but ''if Sew.

grounds on which Our action seems to have
been predicted is cut away from under our
feet" After which he tells Davis that
"We (ths rebels) are all cropping in the
dark" and ptsys that 1--we EnAs get more
substantial aid from Napoleon than either
hope or expect" These public matters
being disposed of, Mr.. de Leon comes TO
delicate point which no cbjyalric Southern
er could ever write letter without ailud-
iug TO. He waUts some money. He had
appealed to Mr.. Benjamin, bnt
that astute Hebrew, it seems, O1ly seut
him q ''Bmall sum in Treasury drafts. which |
is DOT a FOrtunRtus purse, ever filling aud |

70 affect opinion IN EnelSnd, he has caused
rariOus publications to be made on the
opics ofcotton, slavery, &c and bas "kept
lp running Ere through the English
PRESS" which accounts for the origin OF
many of the rebel articles in London jour
lals In regard to France, be now sees no
lopes of favorable action, though "the
FithdraWeI Of Mason makes the Emperor
more than ever master of the situation"
Following the above is 9 letter from
arthur 2 +" 70 Cooper" I've don't know
either pArty); and A. P. is also troubled
about money. He thinks ''Ihere are cases
ia which balf n loaf is not really better
Than no bread at all, but much worse"
and then talks mysterious about the ''Tt-I
ger Cat having huabugged the old Meuser
S.. who bas IN his turn bumbugged that
blank, who may plsy into the hands Of bis
old pa, )" which evidsntly refers 70 some Of
the deeper mysteries Of rebel diplomacy.
There il next 3 letter from Edgar P.
StrinEer to Col. TbObnFn ia reference to |
the building of vessels in England for the
Confederate navy. The principal point in
Mr. Springsr's letter is bis anxiety to se-
cure bis .'coumissiop Of three spd = half
per ceut., with the small charges usual,
for which purpose be wishes the rebel
government TO hand over half Of the cost
10 cotton. to be consigned TO him. Thomas
L. DOrninR. = Second Lieutenant of the
rebel navy, writes = gossipy letter to
fellow officer 10 Mobile, in which he gives
. glowing account Of rebel prospects 81
home and abroad. aud Of course is troubled
about money, having "ruu little shead
Of bis means, aud being really poorer than
when in the Confederate States.
The most important part Of these dOcu-
ments is a series Of papers and contracts
from London in reference TO the building
of vessels for rebel use in running the
blockade, etc, from which . clear idea can
be had Of the mode in which the rebels
have conducted their operations in Eng
land, and the difficulties they have had u
encounter, especially in regard to money.
