THE REPORTED cEss1oN OF SONORA.
The "Timss,"' in leader, says: &.
The American war has been singularly
fruitful of unexpected events, but of all the
turns Of fortuDe none has been more theatri
cally sudden than one that is now reported to
have happened in favor of the South. At this
moment the rejoicings Of the North arc sud-
denly hushed, and We are assured from New
York that President Davis has the game rin
his hands, and can secure the independence
of the South either with the assent of the
North, or in dispite of it, according to his
pleasure. The. clue of this startling mystery
is to be found in the statement, firmly cred
tied in America, that the EN- beror of Mexico
has conveyed in trust of Napoleon III, the
northern portions Of the Mexican territory, to
be held and administered by French Viceroy,
in liquidation of the claims Of France upon
the Mexican Government This cession, it is
assumed in the North, could not possibly &C.
cur without the recognition of the Southern.
Confederacy by France, and that recognition,
Tit is further assumed, would at once be follow
ed by England and the other great Powers Of
Europe. -
epresumptions current on this subject
are strengthened by the anticipations enter
tanned of an emancipation policy on the part
OF the Confederate Government The Surprise
felt in this country at so marvellous change
of prospect, will be increased in no small de-
gree by general incredulity. -
DEPREDATIoNs OF THE SHENANDOAH.
The Cape mail has brought. the following
intelligence: Y
The United States steamer Iroquois, eight
guns, arrived in Table Bay,ssao January g.,
with portion of the crews Of the schooner

which vessels we're burnt at sea by the Shen-
andoah, the men on board afterward being
landed at Eristan d'Acumba, from whence
they were taken by the Iroquois. r.. -
