FROM EUROPE.

HALAFAx, May 25.
The Asia, from Liverpool 10th, Queens
town 18th, arrived here this evening, with
dates two days later than the Hibernian.
The Great Eastern passed Queenstown
on the 18th, en- route for New York. The
Persia arrived at Liverpool on the 10th.
American news by the Persia was largely
canvassed, that day, 10th, and was gene
ally regarded as indecisive. 1t had no
effect in London, but the effect in Liver
pool was a depression in the cotton and a
strengthening of the breadstuffs market.
Jamaica letters received from England
by the West India mail, report that on the
18th of April sea fight took place off Pc
dro Bluff, between large steamer striking
ly like the pirate Alabama, and three other
vessels. Heavy firing was heard at 9 AM,
and the vessels were distinctly seen from
the shore pouring broadsides into each
other.
The firing lasted until two p. NJ. No
particulars were known.
The Army and Navy Gazette says that
the Federal efforts recently made in Lon
don to raise loan have not been success
full.
LIVERPOOL, May Cotton slightly
declined; breadstufs firmer, and provi-
sions generally quiet.
LONDON, May 16.-Consols closed at
934a93s for money; the Bank of England
to-day advanced to 81 per cent.
PARIS, May 16.-Evening-The Bourse
closes heavy, 8 per cts. rentes, 95 f., 55c.

Gen. Blunt OH Tsebels..She Adders
and Hemp.

One B. F. PARKER, styling himself Colo
mel G. S. A., in command of Confederate
forces in Jackson county, Missouri, writes
long and rambling letter to Gen. BLUNT,
notifying him that unless he hereafter
treats rebe. spies, guerillas, bushwhackers,
and their female aiders and abettors, with
in his district, as honorable prisoners of
war, when captured, he (PARKER) will, on
and after May Goth, retaliate On five I'm
ion citizens or soldiers for every one of his
bandits who may be executed. This
threat is accompanied by an extended dis
sertation on the constitution, and the usual
swash about the Southern Chivalry being
resolved to suffer extirmination before
they will surrender to an ignorant and iu-
ferior race. Gen. BLUNT replies to the
confederate as follows:
GEN. BLUNT's REPLY.
HEADQUARTERS, DISTRICT OF KANSAS,
Fort LEAvENwORTH, May Ii, 1861
To Co.. b. +. Parker, Com federate States Army:
SIR: As you do not designate the locality of
the Headquarters of the Confederate forces I'M
der your command, as honorable beligerents
always do, am compelled to adopt this meth
cd of communication with you, in reply to your
long TRADE about constitutional liberty, &C.,
about which you appear to have as correct an
appreciation as HOttentOt or South Sea ISL
ander.
have the honor to say to you, after reading
your long lecture, that you need not defer your
oil arts nf rnt1I until n
1t is of little consequence to me to know what
are the instructions of the Government you
represent" 1t is sufficient for me to know
that you and your motley crew are insurgents
and assassins; that you are organizing within
the military district of the Union forces, and
are engaged in numbering and plundering un-
armed loyal citizens, thereby barring your
selves of all rights and considerations extended
to prisoners Of war.
l have instructed officers in command OF
troops in the border counties of Missouri, (and
the same rule shall extend to all territory I'M
der my command that every rebel or rebel
sympathizer who gives aid, directly Or indi-
rectly, shall be destroyed or expelled from the
military district Those instructions will not
exempt females from the rule.
Experience has taught that the bite of she
adder is as poisonous and productive of mis-
chief as the bite of any other venomOus rep
tile. Therefore all persons known to be in
arms against the Federal authorities of this dis
trict will be summarily put to death when cap
tured The only constitutional right that will
be granted them will be the right to make
choice of the quality of the rope with which
they will be hung.
All those who are in sympathy with your
cause, and whom the military authorities may
not feel justified in putting to death, will be
sent south of the Arkansas River. They will
do well to avail themselves of this my last
friendly admonition.
Trusting that you will fully appreciate the
motives that have prompted me to adopt this
hu name policy toward your misguided friends,
have the honor to remain
Your Obedient servant,
JAS. G. BLUNT, Major General.

A special dispatch 70 the Times says it

signed to the command of the Department
OF the Ohio, Gen. Burnside desiring to be

thorities to the rumor that the rebels are
preparing for another invasion of Ken
lucky.
The Secretary of War says that within
six months we shall have 100000 negro
troops in the field.
A dispatch to the Herald states that
