erpool March 81, via Queenstown the 22d,
arrived here this afternoon. She has $4,000
in specie, and torty-three passengers for Hal
fax and thirty for Boston.
The ship Washington, from Callao for Ant
werp, arrived at Southampton March Goth
| having been captured by the pirate Alabama
| Feb. 10th, but released on a bond of $50, 900.
She brought the crews of the ships Golden
Eagle" "Olive Jane," and palmetto" burnt
by the Alabama.
The confederate loan would close on the
afternoon of the I'd, the bids having greatly
exceeded the amount needed particularly in
London. Report says the applications in Lv-
erpool were not very heavy, and there was
considerable diversity of opinion there as to
the merits of the scheme. Paris telegram
says, the loan was quite the rage there. The
London Times city article says, every little
political feeling is manifested in the business"
and this seems evident so far as London
is concerned. 1t is in viewing it as a
cotton speculation that any attractions it pos
sesses are to be found. In other respects
there can be no doubt the majority OF mer-
chants and capitalists would have wished it
had not been introduced, as the affair will not
be officially recognized on change. The dealers
agreed among themselves to fix the 24th of
April as the settling day.
The London Star cannot believe bona 6de
investors will be found to take the loan even
at par, without better security than that offered
| by the hypothecatiOn of cotton which it NAV
never be in the power of JEFF. Davis & Co. to
| deliver.
The Daily News editorially denounces the
loan. 1t says :-"lts fragrant lndecency and
immortality will strike and scandalize most
Englishmen who care for the reputation of
their country. Those who subscribe to the
loan are aiding and abetting the slave power
| In most direct and emphatic manner, and
| all who have an enlightened regard for the
true reputation of England will regard this
open assistance to tratficers in human flesh AS
Dissertation and pollution to English ex-
| change"
There was rather less excitement in regard
to the loan on Friday, the 10th, and after
touching at 1-2 it closed that day at I-2
3-4.premium. The bids reached ten million
sterling, and were expected to be fifteen mil
lion to eighteen million at the close. The
Times again asserts that it is regarded as
cotton transaction and not a political loan, and
that there is nothing in it to prevent any one
riO.. a..t,4u. iL1..s,.
In the house of commons Mr.. Layard, in
reply to an inquiry, said that since the
breaking out of the civil war in America COM
munications between the British government
and that of the United States in reference to
| the island of San Juan had been suspended.
| The bill reducing tobacco duties had passed
| through the committee. On the 10th Sew
| mour Fitzgerald gave notice that he would on
| the 23d ask whether the government had ac-
cepted or intended to accept proposal of
president Lincoln as to the communication be-
tween England and the United States to in
quire into any just complaints of the violation
of neutral rights.
The debate in the French senate on Polish
Ho;r tI,a L.
| behalf of the government, said fresh insur-
rection can only bring fresh msfortunes, and
| it is neither good useful or humane to encour-
age it. The French government persists in
| this language. 1t is necessary he said, to mis-
| trust popular impulses. Aspirations for lib
| erty were manifesting themselves everywhere
| and made power more accessible to the voice
| which has been raised in favor of Poland.
| For this reason, he continued, Russia has re-
| piled to the communication of France by be-
nevolent words, promising concession and
amnesty. The old diStrust of Europe exists
no longer. If it should happen that the desti-
ny of Poland must be settled by a congress,
there is no doubt the voice of France would
be listened to. M. Bellault mentioned the
precedents of the senate on similar occasions,
and asked that the order of the day be adopt
ed. The senate would not hesitate between
referring the petition to the minister of for
eign affairs, accompanied by its reasons for
so doing, a course which perhaps implied a
risk of war; and passing to the order of the
day, thereby expressing confidence in the wis
dom and firmness of the emperor Much
cheering followed M. Bellault's speech.
The senate passed to the order of the day by
a vote of l09 to II.
A demonstration in favor of Poland had
taken place in Paris. The Patric of the 10Th
says :-"To-day at the conclusion Of the lee
ture delivered by professor de Girardin, a
large number of the students set out for the
Palace of the Senate with the object of max
ing a manifestation in favor of Poland. On
arriving at the Place Odeon they were dis
persed by the police. During the sitting of
the senate the Place Odeon was patrolled by
police; also the Rue de Deranqirard in order
to prevent the people from collecting togeth-
er, some arrests were made in consequence
of the above demonstration.
The Paris Moniteur and London Times re-
gard the news from Poland as showing that
the instruction is becoming general. Intel
hgence from Lithuania states that all marshals
of corporations in that province, all judges,
and judiciary officers, andall the independent
public functiOnaries, have sent in their resig-
nations en- masse. Their designations are
based upon the resolution not to receive any
communication from the government in the
Russian language. The funcuonarles who
resigned have declared infamous all who
should consent to fill the positions they had
vacated.
dispatch from Tarnow announces that
Langiewicz has defeated the Russians under
Gen. Schachowsky, and captured consdera-
BILE quantities of war material. 1t is reported
that the reply of Austria to the French pro-
posals is evasive.
The latest kilograms from Cracow say that
a report was current that Langiewicz had
been put to flight and his forces dispersed.
and that he was at Opotowicz and sought the
consent of the Austrians to pass through Gal
lcia, but was refused. Earthworks were
being thrown up around Warsaw. The inhab.
itants expected an attack at Easter.
The Times correspondent writes from Paris
that the news from Cochin China is by no
means satisfactory, and reinforcemenis are
earnestly asked for by the commander of the
French forces. Gen. Forey is making the
same demand from Mexico, where, it is said,
5000 men are required in addition to the pre-
sent large force in that country. The coming
elections cause much anxiety to the French
government.
