Opinion of Minister Adams

RICHMOND, January 27.-Aiini.ter Adams,
in letter to Seward, dated London, Oc.o.
Der II, says, in his opinion, the recognition
of the insurgents now depends almos: en-,
tircly on the fortune Of the war. If we
prove ourselves, by February next, no more
able to control lis results than we are NJ,
this moment, it viii be difficult for I'm,
Ministers longer TO resist the current Of
sentiment leaning in tha, direction in both
houses of Parliament.
