''Not few of the Republican Journals OF
the interior are working themselves up to
the belief, which they are endeavoring to
impress upon their readers, that the sece-
ded States, be they few or many, will be
whipped back into the Union. We caution
all such that in language of that sort they
are adding new fuel TO the flame which is
already blazing too fiercely, and that the
probabilities now are that the result will
prove them to be false prophets. No man
knows what public policy may demand of
the incoming Administration; but the drift
of opinion seems to be that, if peaceable Sc.
cession is possible, the retiring States will
be assisted to 60, that this needless and bit
ter controversy may be brought to an end.
If the Union is to be dissolved, bloodless
is by all means to be coveted.
Do not let us make this impossible"

Will it startle the people Of the North to
intimate to them that French transports
may land troops at any day at Mobile OF
Galveston, or at both these points?
Would not the people of the North be
still more astounded if the whole Of this
formidable armada was to appear in Hamp-
ton Roads, to annihilate our ships and Nom
itors there, and, in conjunction with iron.
clads known to be ready for service in Rich
mond, restore Fortress Monroe and. Norfolk
to rebel supremacy, sweep up the Chesa-
peake, and, in concert with the powerful
army Of Gen. Lee, take Washington in
front, flank and rear, and then, as a finale
to a grand campaign, proceed up the Della
ware with the hostile feet and, supported
by the army of Gen. Lee, reduce Philadel-
phia to Confederate authority or lay it in
ashes? These are some of the results con-
fdently expected at the South to follow the
French alliance.
1t has been intimated, and the same
source is my authority, that England will,
tor certain considerations, cooperate with
France, but that until her provinces on this
side of the Atlantic Ocean are adequately
protected by her military power no open
and decided manifestations in active sym
pathy with the new allies, and the indepen-
dence of the rebel States of America will
be exhibited.

The Iron Rebel FSams,

The London Times has leader in answer
to letter from correspondent, who con-
tends that the two ships in the Mersey sup
posed to be for the rebels, should be seized.
The Times remarks, in reply, that the neces-
sary legal proofs are still wanting, but con-
cludes by saying;
After all, however, perhaps our CORES
pondent is simply expressing desire, which
we have no doubt is very generally felt, that
the government would cut vexatious knot
by OBTAINING the two steam rams and trust
ing the case to trial. However, that is
matter for the government itself to consider
There is a Very common belief that these
vessels to whatever order they were origi-
inally laid down, or to wha tever nation they
may be intermediately passed, are destined
ates against the Federsls. There is an un-
usually general impression that if we were
in the position of the Federals, and had suf
fered as they have from the operations OF
such vessels, We should be unlikely TO take
the matter quietly; nor can we say but that
we should expect to find much counterpoise
to these opinions in any sympathy for that
commercial adventure which selects chan
nels of such equivocal propriety. In short,
if the Ministers defend these vessels we do
not think they would be justified in doing
SO; but the question entirely depend. upon
the evidence, which can only be known
hereafter.
The London Herald refuses to believe
the statement of the London Post that the
government has decided to detan the steam
rams launched by Mr.. Laird in the Mersey,
and in characteristic editorial denounces
such monstrous piece of tyranny, and pla-
cid acquiescence in the outrageous demands
of the federal government.
ASSERTION THAT THEY ARE TO BE SEIZED.
The London Star of the 10th instant
saws we are able to state on undoubted au-
thority that the government have ordered
the two steam rams which have been the
s4bject of so much controversy to be de
tanned. --
