esW The Copperhead New York Nttos pub
llshes letter purporiing to be written st
London, which asserts that the Emperor Of
France has concluded secret treaty with
the Confederacy, one consideration Of which
is the recognition Of independence about the
first Of March also, that one Of the fi:st
fruits of the secret alliance is the departure
Of two iron-clads-the Sphynx and Cheops
{now called the stonewall and Rap1dan)-
from Bordeaux, under the Confederate flag.
These are the two iron.clads, We are further
Told, against the sailing of which Mr. Dayton
demonstrated last summer. At that time the
remonsttance WAS heeaed, and the Emperor
refused permission fur the steamers to depart.
These VESSELS were, however, nomina1ly sold
to Denmark, but on arriving at Copenhagen,
fell into the hands Of rebel agents, Denmark
refusing to complete its bargain. We also
hare this story in part In our dispatches.
