HEADyOCATESN ON-INTERFERESCEINT THE
REBELLION, AND HIS ORGAN THE POST,
TAKES TfiEOTHER TACK

NEW YORK, April 13.-The steamer City of
New York has arrived, from London on the
lst, via Londonderry on the 2d inst.
The London Morning Post regards affairs
hopeful for the Con nfederates, both at home and
abroad, and candidly expresses the hope that
before year hence their struggle will be
crowned with success. It Is positively denied
that the COME derates contemplate any further
loan in Europe.
The Times says if Europe was suffering from
a deficient harvest, and the Federal Govern
ment would hypothecate wheat they might
obtain a loan on such terms, but there is no
disposition to make political loans for merely
beiligerent purposes to either OF the American
disputants, or to part from the cold neutrality
complained Of.
Parliament is not in session. The Polish in
surrection shows no change. The insurgents
continue active. 1t is reported that an expedi-
ton to be set on foot against Venice, is prepar-
ing III Swiss Territory.
LATER.
Lord 'Palmerston recently addressed the
working men at Glasgow. He said the Gov
ernment would continue the policy Of non
interference in Government affairs. He deeply
deplored the war, but believes interposing
would have an effect the very reverse Of what
was intended.
The Confederate loan is at quarter disceunt
to a quarter premium.
The Times says the latest American adyices
make it abundaDtly evident that the choice
henceforth for the South is between victory
and extirmination, and for the North between
peace and ruin.
Mr.. Magne has resigned his seat in the French
Cabinet, owing to difficulty with M. Fould
The Emperor made him member of the Priyy
Council.
The Polish insurgents continue their move
ments.
The Greek National Assembly has unani-
mously proclaimed Prince William, of Den
mark, King of Greece.
LATEST
1t Is reported that the Polish insurgent lead
ers were disbanding their forces and giving up
the contest.
The chip Runnemede, from Pernambuco. has
arrived at Greenock. She brought the crews
OF the American vessels Star Of Peace and AL
degarn, which were burned by the rebel pirate
Florida.
The newly elected King of Greece is Prince
William George, a brother to the Princess Al
exandra, and second son to Prince Christian.
His title will be George the 1st, King Of the
Greeks.

THE RECONNOLSSANCE AT CHARLESTON.
We are very certain that the Government are
by no means disheartened at the result OF the
late reconnaissance in force at Charleston, as
the gold abear"-ing "bulls' OF Wall Street
assume. Why they do not see it in the light Of
disaster is very plain. Thus, it was demon
strated, list. That the Ericsson monitors can
stand for three hours the concentrated fire of
five hundred pieces Of artillery, unsurpassed
in excellence and i'll the manner in which they
were handled, without the loss of man on

psehend that Gen. F. himself realizes the ex-

that the Government here has been informed
by him that having been three times sum-
moned to surrender, his answer to the third
sseh summons was declaration that he
would hold the bearers of the next flag Of
truce bringing him any such message, as it
was evident that the purpose OF sending them
was but to spy into his camp and means OF de-
fence. He concluded his reply with an invita-
