The Index, the Confederate organ in
London, gives the following relative to the
capture of the Confederate steamer Flor
ida: The Confederate authorities in Lon
don have received telegraphic dispatch
dated Lisbon, from Captain Morris,
commander of the Florida, stating that
she was captured on the 9TH Of Oc-
tober by the Federal steamer Wachusett,
in the harbor of Bahia, Brazil. At the
time of the capture the Florida was lying
under the guns of the Brazilian forts and
the Brazilian fleet, and Capt. Morris was on
shore. He is now on board the steamer
Magdalena, bound for Southampton.
The London Morning Herald editorially
denounces the capture of the Florida in the
most indignant terms.
The Times says the capture of the Con-
federate steamer Florida in the harbor of
friendly state, was an act of simple piracy.
When within neutral water she should
have been perfectly safe from molestation.
The London Herald says that if the Wash
ington Government does not release the
Florida, all the Maritime powers will have
the right to interfere in the matter.

London are preparing memorial to the
Crown in behalf of Muller, on the ground
of not being satisfied with the evidence.
FRANCE.-Politics unimportant The
French troops are to make simultaneous
attacks on the insurgents at different points
in Algeria about the 9th of November, for
the purpose of cutting off their retreat
Most decisive results are expected from
this movement.
The Paris Bourse closed steady on the

all disputed questions. He recommends
the acceptance OF convention for this pur-
pose. Cardinal Antonelli has prepared
reply to the French Dispatch, in which he
defends the course of the Papal govern
ment.
RUssIA.-The Invalide Russo asserts that
the visit of the Car to Nice was simply an
act of courtesy. and devoid of any political
object. Russia prefers liberty of action,
and desires no alliances. The Emperor of
Russia arrived at Pottsdam ON the %, on a
visit to the King of Prussia, and would re-
main until the 9TH.
AUsTRIA.-Vienna journals assert that a
ministerial crisis has come, to end with the
resignation of Count Rechberg. They as
sert that a change in ministers will in no
way affect the harmonious relations exist
ing between Austria and Prussia.
LONDON MONEY MARKET.-Funds opened
firm on the I'd inst. but closed weaker.
The discount market was very quiet. The
unfavorable course of the Continental ex-
changes and the active demand for dollars
for China and Japan, lead to the impression
that a reduction in the note of discount by
the Bank of England may be still further
The demand for discount at |
the bank, however, was extremely light.

ply the Bank of France with two millions
sterling in gold.
