Favorable news nom Abroad

Recent advices from England repre-
sents that the secret of the Rebel Gov
ernment's have decided to r,call Mason
and Slidell is the fact that these gentle
men have recently received intimation
that they had better retire to avoid being
notified that they could not much longer
remain near the English French coast in
the capacity of commissioners from the
rebel Confedercy.
1t is believed that the English Gov :
ernment is coming to grief on the Ia
bama business. The French Govern
ment is uneasy lest its mediation move
ment should be considered as placing Il
too much in antagonism to this country.
1t is understood to be demonstrating
with England about permitting the Ala
bama to be stted cut in her ports and
representing that she must be held re-
sponsible for the damage done by the pi-
rate. With France thus on our. side in
this matter, it is believed that little need
be upprehended from George Sanders
steamers.
