FROu NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI

, Il is reported by persons recently arrived from
Northern Mississippi that FORESTS command suE
fered veEY severely in the late engagement. For
rest himself was cut with sabres, and barely made
his escape. Roddy's command and Armstrong;
command have been entirely cut mp. In what is
known the Prairie County, along the line Of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the reign Of terror is
greater than ever before since the war began, con-
scriptions being frequent aud merciless. Negroes
are no longer conscripted. The surrender OF Gen.
Lee was not reported, but the assassination Of Pres-
dent Lincoln was known all over Northern Missis-
sippi in three days aer its occurrence. Ia Chicka-
saw county, Miss, there were one hundred mem
bers Of Rebel company but Immediately on the
receipt Of the news Of the assassination one hun
dred and fifty new recruits enrolled themselves.

TWO DAYS LATER FROM
f UROPE

BY the arrival at New York, Tuesday, of the
steamship Scotia, We have news from Europe to
Esd ult. (SundayJ
The report of the surrender of General Lee had
been received in England The fact waslnot, how
ever, published when the Scotia sailed The Asia,
which took over the news, arrived out on Satur-
day, the 22d ultimO. II the Asia even reached
Liverpool on that day it too late for Il e an
nouncement previous TO the departure of the SEQ
tia. The news of the surrender was very generally
looked tor in England, as advceS from New York,
dated TO the Sth of April, had been received
there.
II is asserted that Napoleon, on hearing of the
fall of Richmond, proposed to England to Orm an
Anglo French alliance for the JOINT defence of Can
ada and Mexico, should either be attacked by the
United States. Ii is said that the proposition was
instantly rejected by Earl Cowey, British Minister
in Paris, acting under Instructions from the Cabi-
net in London.
American securities were in active demand in
England and Germany. Fiye-rwenties were quoted
in London at &C l-2 a Sc 81 on the 22d Of April,
and at 90 in Frankfort at the date of the latest ad
vices from that city, after the reception of the news
of the tall OF Richmond.
The news OF the fall Of Richmond produced the
''wdeSt excitement" in Berlin. Extras" of the
city journals containing the intelligence were pub
,iShed and freely sold. United States bonds add
vanced until they reached 20 on the 18th ultimo,
closing at 60.
The rebel cause was regarded IS los, except by
the Lonlpn Leier, the London Post and the Lon
don Herald, the organs OF the rebels, the aristo-
Gratis and foreign prO-Slayery men Of England
Mr.. James +. Harvey, United States Minister at
Lisbon, shows, in a letter published in the London
Times, that the Portuguese authorities acted very
hastily, if not with malice in firing into the United
States steamers Niagara and Sacramento.
The reports Of the triumphs of the Union arms,
previous 10 the fall OF Richmond, exercised mark
ed influence on commercial affairs in India A Cal
cutta letter Of the 22d Of March says business in
cotton and piece goods has been quite suspended the

for money. The Liverpool cotton market was
buoyant, With a very active demand, on the 22d

ABoLITIONIsN IN SPAN.-On Sunday, April 2d,
the first public meeting to promote the abolition of
slavery in the Spanish colonies which has ever been
held in Spain, assembled in the Academy of Juris-
prudence in Madrid. Il was called by the recently
established Spanish AbOUtionst Society, and was
presided over by Don Antonio Maria Segovia, a
member of the Lower Chamber OF the Cortes and
one Of the founders OF the society. The meeting is
reported to have been most crowded and enthusiast
tic and resolutions were unanimously adopted ap-
proving theestablishment Of the society, and nom-

OF the abolition Of slavery may now. be considered
as fairly planted in Spain.

Smith, were recently 10 progress on the Missis-

A Mobile despatch states that rebel officer hid
arrived at Gen. Canby's headquarters, authorized
by Gen. Dick Taylor to arrange terms for the sur

that Taylor had entered into an agreement for an
armistice with Gen. Dana, on the terms as
