and Hiberniau.
New Yong Oct 10

which left Liverpool at about z p. NJ. of the
9th, and Queenstown 7th, Is due at this port.
The following is summary Of her news re-
ceiyed to-day by the City OF New York.
The ship Hahnemian, OF Liverpool, reports
having been fired into aud boarded by q rebel
privateer on the first of July. After examin-
ing the papers Of the Hahnemian, the priva.
teer left her In lat. q s, long "a w.
The Daily News says of the one day later
news received by the Adriatic, in regard to
the fight near Chattanooga, that 1t does not
confirm the sanguine hopes Of our pro-South-
ern contemporaries, while It convicts US Of
over-rating the disadvantages OF our friends.
The Paris correspondence OF the Daily
News writes as follows, 10 reference to tie
rumor that Mr.. Stephens, Vice President Of
the Confederate States, is coming to Paris to
conclude q treaty with the French Govern
ment which will contain a clause relative to
the abolition of slavery:-"The Pays contains
little more comfort for Mr.. Stephens than the
Steele. 1t says 1t knows nothing about his
mission, and at all events the abolition of
slavery must be the indispensable condition of
peoples and Governments. This is highly en-
couraging for the South, considering that
slavery, and not only slavery but the extern
sion Of slavery, Is the very thing they have
been all along fighting for"
1t is stated that the Princess Helena of Eng
land will probably be married 10 the Prince Of
Orange, 10 whom she has been for some time
betrothed, In the ensuing spring.
The King of the Greeks had reached Lon
don.
Mr.. w. S. Lindsey, member of Parliament,
had been speaking at considerable length on
American affairs at an Agricultural dinner.
In the course of his remarks he denied the
statement made by Lord Russell at Blair
Gurrie, that the sympathies Of majority OF
the people Of England were with the Federal
States. The noble Earl, he submitted, had not
spoken the sentiment of England.
II the North had gone TO war for the pur-
pose Of putting an end to slavery, President
Lincoln and his colleagues would have had
the warm support Of very large majority OF
Englishmen, but the conflict was entered on
and was being prosecuted with no such end
In view.
With respect to the proceedings which had
been taken under the foreign enlistment, he
said he desired TO see the laws of the land re-
spected, but ut the same time he could not see
why they should prevent the Southern people
from being supplied with ships, while the Fed
erals continued to be supplied with arms.
As TO the issue OF the war, he had no doubt
whatever. II would be separation and not re-
union, and before many years had elapsed, he
believed the old Republic would be cut up, not
merely into two, but into four distinct states.
The Times thinks that the position Of France
in Mexico and the conditional acceptance of
the crown by the Arch-Duke Macmillan
amounts to something more than a diversion
In favor Of the South, inasmuch az they arc 4
forcbe and practical protest against the idea
of one dominant Republic on the North Amer
lean continent.
The Mexican deputation to tender the crown
of Mexico to the Arch-Dcke Macmillan, wa.
received by the Grand Duke on the Sd inst,
and a telegram gives the following a. his re-
ply:
1.-THE wishes of the Mexican Assembly of
netables has touched me deeply. II cannot
but be exceedingly fattering 10 our House
that they have turned their ewes 10 the de-
scendants of Charles v.
Although the mission Of maintaining tho in
dependence and welfare of Mexico on solid
foundation, with free institutions, 10 a NEST
noble one, must, nevertheless, In complete
accordance with the views OF the Emperor
Napoleon, declare that the Monarchy cannot
be re-established ON legitimate and firm Ca
sis without q spontaneous expression of tie
wishes of the whole nation. / must make nv
acceptance OF the throne dependent on Me-
bescite of the whole country.
On the other hand, It must be my duty to
ask for guarantees, which are indispensable TO
secure Mexico against dangers which threa ZEN
her integrity aud Independence. Should til csc
guarantees be sustained, and the universal
