CAPE RACE, Aug. 1.-THE Asia, from
Liverpool the Sth, and Queenstown the
9th inst, passed on Sunday, with two
days later news.
England, France and Austria have
agreed to send common note to Russia
An iron ram building in England for
Russia, has been hurried off incomplete.
1t is reported that Russia declines meet
ing with the German kings.
The London Globe asserts, apparently
on good authority, that an assurance has
been received that the American conscrip-
ton was not intended as menace to Eng
land. II says there is no interruption of
general amity between the two countries.
The rebel loan was quoted on the 9TH
at 27a2S per cent. discount
New YORK, August 1.-THE steamer
City of Washington, from Liverpool, 4th,
Queenstown 9Th, has arrived.
The ship Constitution, from Philadel-
phia for Valparaiso, was q (tured on the

was released on giving bonds. The crew
arrived at PernambucO.
The ship City of Bath, from Callao for
Antwerp was at Pernambuco, after hav-
ing been captured by the Georgia and
released on ransom.
Reports say that the bark Conrad, cap
tured by the Alabama on the 18th of June,

The ship Sunrise, for Liverpool for New
York, was, it seems, captured by the
pirate Florida in lat. 400, lon. $50, and
was releasedfor a ransom bond for $50, 1000.
The change of tone on the part of the
London Saturday Recie,c, hitherto one
of the strongest advocates of secession in
England, excites much comment
That journal looks upon recent Federal
victories as great if not decisive, and in
measure gives up the cause OF the South
as virtually lost.
The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
held its kalf-yearly meeting the Sd inst.
The speakers expressed the opinion that
the American war was not far from its
close, including James Spence, the no.
torious secession advocate.
The Polish national government had
ordered forced loan of 100000 for
ms. A note from the same source, re-
jects every compromise not based upon Ae
independence of Poland, and the boundA-
ries of 1872. Several insurgent leaders
were hung at Warsaw.
Advices are said to have reached Paris
from New York, that the Government has
definitely renounced CONSUMPTION, and the
fact is attributed to the progress of pacific
ideas in the North. The Polish question
is unchanged.
Paris journals charge England with
heading back from the Identical question
and says France should take decided steps
and place the responsibility of solution on
England. Journals also assert that no
understanding as to replies to Russia is
yet arrived at
The London Herald asserts that Eng
land and Austria are completely in accord
and will simply demand for Poland, those
treaty rights which Russis, in substance,
acknowledges and shows disposition to
turn to account, their recent victories by
pushing forward at every point OF their
extended line
The Ne,cs remarks that time is etfectu-
| ally fighting the battles of the Union.
The three powers, France, England and
Austria, are fully resolved to send their
replies t. the Russian note. They will
send separate replies, and also 8 collusive
Identical note.
Rumors of an intended outbreak at
Warsaw on the 9th, are current.
The London Times, in an editorial on
American affairs, as depicted by the advi-
ces by the Great Eastern and Asia, re-
CARDS the federal successes checked and
the cOnfederates as having rallied and Of
| fered something OF the old determined re-
sistance. 1t says, in point of fact the fed
| erals are for the moment spiritless: their
victories have been considerable, but they
do not seem to see the way to follow them
up. Such difficulty is not likely to be
| lessened if they continue to press into the
| confederate country.
The Times says that under these cir
cumstances it is stroke of smart policy
of the New York papers to decree that
the moderate draft for 100000 men is in
tended only for war with Great Britain :;
but with General Lee still threatening
them upon the Potomac, the Federal
Government will find enough on their
hands at home. However, they are no
| doubt right to resort to any clap-trap or
violence to enforce the cOnscriptiOn, for it
is quite evident that, if they cannot rein
force their armies, their invasion of the
| South must come to stand.
The Duly Ne'cs looks upon events in
q totally different light.
