london (ly g. Of hancbe'sr Guardian
A friend, who is in confidential ehicial commu-
nication with both sides in the American civil
war, speaks of the difficulties OF the South a far
greater than are allowed to appear on the surface.
In his opinion, notwithstanding all the gallantry
of Confederate resistance, the Federal Govern
ment, SO long as 1t can command general like
Grant to carry out the policy of "man for man"
and has at its back the yet uneXhaustedr recruiting
fields OF Ireland and Germany, 10 say nothing of a
practically unlimited command of greenbacks,
ships, stores, and munitions Of war must pro-
grCss towards conquest, which can only be re-
taTded by all that Confederate determination aud
skill can accomplish ! montion this, as 1t Is tho
opinion of one who enjoys, believe, almost un-
equalled opportunities OF coming to q sound con-
clusion, and whose sympathes are in many
respects with the South, al! the more as he con-
siders that sayery-the real - 3tacle TO English
good wishes for the COnfedcracy--is practiclsy
Al an end, whatever may be the issue Of the pre-
sent conflict.

The American war steamer Rearsorge arrived
In Dover roads at six O'Clock on Wednesday
evening. 1t had been stated in some OF the
French papers that successor 10 the 1tI6I0'1
would probably be IN waiting of Cherbourg
when the Federal vessel left that port, and that
another naval engagement might take place, in
which the South would have an opportunity of
retrieving its late defeat. No new Ala6amo, how
ever, seems 10 have yet appeared butit is asserted
that a steamer, the JeddO, which left Bordeaux
on the 22d of june, is 10 take the place of the
notorious privateer.
The Opinion Ndtiondle asserts that the JsIdo
here referred to will soon reappcar, fully armed
and manued, and with the Confederate flag fly
Ing Captain Scmme5 10 il said, is too i'll To take
command of her. This duty will consequently
dCVolYe upon the First Lieutenant of tho late
1ldbanG, whose appointment is expected to ar.
rive about the middle OF the present month. II
The statements OF the French papers arc 30 be
relied on, there will soon be no lack in the Chan
mel Of wGr vessels belonging to the opposing
Powers.
According 70 those statements, the Florida Is
already there; the JeRd0, as We have seen, Is
being got ready, and "the South is probably pre-
pairing q display of fresh forces;" while, on the
other hand, We learn that the Federal steamer
Niagara lctt Antwerp on the I'd Instant, TO cruise
In the Channel and that new Federal steamer,
the Macedonian, built upon the same model as
the heaySayye, ana armed with heavy guns, Is
expected.
Tho Paris pyess thinks that far more "dra.
matte engagement than that In which the Ala-
5umG pcrished" may accordingly be looked for
&c no distant date.
