The Reaction Abroad.

The evidences Of a revival of good feeling
towards this government multiply with every
arrival from abroad There is a reaction
against the secessionists in England cores
ponding with the reaction against their cop
perhead friends this side the water The
change is not peculiar to any particular local
ity; but is almost universal in the dispensa-
ton Of its encouraging influences. There
isn't large city in England-however depen-
dent on American products for its labor and
prosperity, that has not in one form or anoth-
er expressed its cordial sympathy with the
policy of this government,-in a manner
which compels the respectful consideration of
all classes of her people In nearly every in
stance the text of their appreciation is the de
clared policy Of the government in regard to
slavery.
We published sometime ago the address of
the people of'Manchester to president Lincoln
in approval Of this policy, and warmly sup
porting his course. The citizens of Liver
pool have issued a similar address, animated
with the most friendly spirit, and expressing
Oil ulpdllIJ anu SOOu Will lOT lIlt RONeTD-

rebellion. 1t has the greater signiical ce,
since the controlling influences of that great
city have been hostile almost from the begin
ing Before the war begun public opinion had
been corrupted, and popular prejudice inflam-
edtill it seemed as if there was no light at all
IN that quarter for the American cause. But
the reaction has begun in serious earnest, and
only needs the confirmation of success in the
field to render it complete and overwhelming.
On the same 18th Of February there was a
vast gathering in London at which the unani-
nous and enthusiastic expression of opinion
was against any attempt to recognize as a ma
ton the the revolted southern states, and pro-
tested against any act on the part of the gov
eminent of England compromising the friends
of the slave in that country. Many other
meetings of friendliness and sympathy hav
been held in different parts of the island, uni
formerly applauding the emancipation policy,
ana condemning the past career end ultimate
aims Of the confederacy.

PROVIDENCE, March 10.-The Republican
Union, the Constitutional Union, and the
Democratic parties, had each convention

FROM NEW ORLEANS AND MEXICO.

NEW YORK, March I0.-The steamer Roa-
noke from New Orleans LIST, Havana 5th ar
rived this afternoon. An information has
been filed in the provincial court, for the
confiscation of Slidell's property in New Or
leans.
The prisoners from the Queen of the West
report that they were jealousy guarded at
Alexandria and robbed of all their clothes and
private property.
The Era Of the LIST inst. states that twenty
Of the rebels, who had recently been sent off
have come back begging to take the oath of
allegiance, and for bread, as every one of
them was suffering from actual hunger, and
children were crying for food. A rebel major
and captain, who had been paroled by Far
ragut, have returned to New Orleans and
taken the oath. The rebels would not receive
them. All give fearful statements OF the des-
tuition in rebellion.
Vera Cruz advlces received at New Or
leans state that the French army is entirely
inactive, unable to accomplish anything
without further large reinforcements which
if not soon received they will be driven from
the country. The French officers are dis
gusted. The climate is operating unfavor-
ably on the soldiers. Most of the French
force at Vera Cruz, are negroes from Mar
Unique. The bulk Of the French army is
near Puebla, and the country between there
and the city of Mexico is infested by guerillas
well armed and mounted. A whole train of
supplies from Vera Cruz for the French
army has been captured by guerllas. The
French are constructing a railway to Puebla.
The guerillaS are amusing themselves by
spreading the rails to run the trains off the
track

portance Of system and impartiality, as well
as judgment and economy, in the forwarding
and distribution of these supplies. In all
these respects the United States sanitary com
mission stands unrivalled. Its organization,
experience, and large facilities for the work
are such, that the general does not hesitate
to recommend, in the most urgent manner, all
those who desire to send sanitary supplies, to
contide them to the care of this commission.
They will thus insure the supplies reaching
their destination without wastage or expense
of agents or transportation, and their being
distributed in Il iudicious manner without dis
order or Interference with the regulations and
usages of the service. The commission acts in
full concert with the medical department of
the army, and enjoys its confidence. 1t is
thus enabled, with few agents. to do 4 large
amount of good at the proper time and in the
proper way. Ever since the battle of Stone
River it has distributed surprisingly large
amount of clothing, lint, bandages, and bed
ding, as well as milk, concentrated beef, fruit
and other sanitary stores, essential to the re-
covery of the sick and wounded.
