The ship Sunrise from Liverpool for
New York was, it seems, captured by the

The change of tone on the part of the Lon
don Saturday Review, hitherto one of the
strongest advocates Of secession in Eng
land, excites much comment. That jour
nal looks upon the recent federal victories
as great, if not decisive, and in a measure
gives up the South as virtually lost.
The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
held its half yearly meeting on the 3rd.
The speakers expressed the opinion that
the American war was not tar from its
close, including James Spence, the nOto-
TlOuS secession advocate.
The Polish national government had or
dered forced a loan of 81 200, 900 forms.
A proclamation from the same source
rejects every compromise not bearing upon
the independence of Poland aud the bound
aries of 1772.

Warsaw.

deOnitely postponed the CONSUMPTION.
The London Times in an editorial upon
American affairs as depicted by the adj
vices 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-
sistauce. It says in point of fact the sue
cessful Federals are for the moment
checked.
Their victories have been considerable,
but they do not seem 10 see the way to
follow them up. Such difficulty is not
likely to be lessened IL they continue to
press into the confederate country. The
Times says that under these circumstances
it is stroke Of smart policy of the New
York papers to declare that the new draft
for 3OO,O 900 men is in only for a war in
VasiOn.
But while Gen. Lee sill threatens them
upon the Potomac, the federal government
will find enough on their hands at home.
However, there is no doubt of their right
TO resort to any clap trap or violence to
enforce the CONSUMPTION, for it is quite
evident that if they cannot reinforce their
armies then the invasion of the South
must come to a stand.
The Daily News looks upon events in 4
totally different light. The latest news,

Federal advantages which show that
the Union forces are turning TO account
their receat victories by pushing forward
at every point Of their extended lines.
The Star remarks that time is effectu-
ally fighting the battles of the Union.
The Paris papers assert that the powers
OF France, England and Austria are fully
pledged TO act in unison in their replies to
the Russian note.
