FuRTHER EY THE NOVA scorIAN.

it is reported, upon good authority, that
Denmark has accepted the conference propo-
sition, and the Dresden Journal announces its
acceptance by France.
The London Posts city article saws private
advices from Paris, upou which We believe
reliance can be placed, again ailude to nego-
tiations now in progress preparatory to racos-
Gizing the Confederate States by the French
Government, although any official acknowl-
edgment of this fact would at this nom mt be
thought premature and unadvisa5le.
Latest, via Londonderry.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-rhe Paris Constitutional,
relative TO the proposed conference, says France
would gladly hope for success, but it is doubt
full if Denmark and the German CONFEDERATION
would accede.
The London 4drertistr states that not only
has the channel squadron been recalled from
Lisbon, but the Admiral is under orders to
proceed forthwith to the Baltic Sea, not only
for probable but possible eventualities
The Advertiser further states that the Govern
ment has resolved, rather than Denmark proper
shall suffer the loss Of any her territories, TO
employ the logic of our naval force to any
extent which circumstances may render neces-
sary.
The Post thinks the project of assembling the
conference pending hostilities, Is one which,
when realized, can never be productive OF
satisfactory results.

her speed and travelled up the stream One
Of the Federal gunboats-the TulIp-was i'm
me6iateIy despatched after her, but she escaped,
as the Tulip, on account OF the shallow water,
was not able 10 follow her.
The Titan was taken to a p ace called Free
port, where she was burned by the rebels on
MonCay morning, after tue machinery had
Teen removed. The goods were removed at
this place on Monday, and the captors were
about to have an auction sale, but some of the
eunboats making their appearance, the goods
were hastily removed inland The officers of
the baltimore learned in the Piankatank that
the raiders were led by Lieuts. Maxwell and
fitzhush, formerly Of our Navy. For the
same reason that the Tulip was unable to over
haul the Titan, the boats of the expedition
failed TO ascend as far us Freeport.

BALTIMORE, March S.-Lieutenant General
Grant arrived here at noon to- day in the
Northern Central cars, having left Harrisburg
this morning. He was met at the depot by a
considerable plumber of soldiers and citizens,
though very few were aware Of his coming
-Four or five officers of his staff accompanied
him. The officers of the railroad and George
Small, Esq, one Of the directors, afforded the
distinguished hero and his staff the most conr.
icons facilities at the depot and elsewhere The
General was plainly clad, and seemed anxious
to avoid show or parade. There were many,
however, on seeing him, went up to shake
hands, and gave vent 10 their feelings by en-
thusiastic shouts Of welcome. The General
said, beyond all things he was Determined TO
avoid political demonstrations; his business
was with " ar, white it existed, and his duty
was 10 crush the spirit Of treason and ave the
ration from destruction. When these things
were accomplished. as he hoped and believed
they surely would be, then it would be time
enough for those whose tastes are toward par
tIZsnship 10 indulge themselves. The Gener Il
and his staff proceeded to BarnuTn's Hotel,
where they partook of refreshments. They
dtpaIted soon after the earliest train for
