TWE NEWS GE TIE FALL. OF
RICHMOND In EUROPE.

The later adyices from Europe which were
received yesterday give us full accounts Of the
immense excitement produced in England and
France by the news Of the fan Of Richmond.
The English Rapcrs, from wlchwe give copiou,
extracts on another page, are nearly unanimous
in expressing the opinion, that a serious, pro-
baby fatal blow has been.struck at the Comic
deracy. One London organ, The syn, stultifes
itself, however, by saying that now Lee may be
able to carry the war into The Northern States.
The Indcr, the Rebel organ, also expresses hope
for the Southern cause in the second act Of
the war, which it thinks has now commenced.
Other papers, which are edited in the interest of
the Rebels, indulge at least the hope that the
South will yet for a long time be able to carry
on guerrilla warfare. That the news Of the
surrender Of Lee would so soon follow the fall
