cafes an outbreak among the Indians, which, if

The following note calling attention to the value
Of the Confederate call loan is sent to the editor
Of the London News.
SEPT. 28.-On the part of the committee 1 beg
leave to say that they have the greatest confidence
in the rebel promises to pay provided they We're
, permitted to do so. They base their confidence
not only on the information they receive from the
South, but likewise on the testimony given by
Gen. Robert E. Lee before the reconstruction
committee appointed by Congress.

will induce you to publish this testimony. l may

ever committed by any statesman who had the
restoration Of the Union at heart as compelling
the South to repudiate their debt and especially
the paltry foreign debt of e., 100000, for which
cotton was hypothecated. The result has been to-
retard the return of prosperity to the South,
and to annhilate their credit ia Europe.
They required and still require money for the sui
tivatOn of their estates to enable them to grow
more cotton, tobacco, sugar. and repair their rail-
ways They offered any term, but that fatal word
f reputation, although forced on them, has been
the stumbling block to their Obtaining a shilling
The committee believe that this fatal word SO far
the cotton loan is sconcerned is destined shortly
to be blotted out and then the markets Of Eupope
will be again for the promotion Of Southern enter
prise, and renewed era of prosperity will dawn.
On behalf of the committee.

VIENNA PREssE ON THE AMERICAN Rgss1AN
ALLIANCE.
New YORK, Oct. 12.-The following extract
from the Vienna Presse will explain what is
alliance,
The Presse says:
A correspondent writes in the hope that the
cabinet of the Tueres is doing all in its power to
: prevent the American republic from obtaining a
foothold in the Mediterranean, by the purchase of
an island in the Grecian Archipelago. 1t is neces-
sary for France to prevent the United States who
strikingly hindered Napoleon from naeddIing in
trans atlantic affairs, from medding in the Oriental
g question.
4 In this matter the English interests agree with
those of France. 1t is for this reason, it is said,
that England offered to lend financial aid to the
sultan, on condition Of his resisting the briIIiaut
offer made by the cabinet at WashiSgton for the
It cesson of part Of the island OF MiIas; but
/ Russian interests are diametrcally opposite to
those OF the eastern powers. 1t is, necessary and
e sound policy on her part to form of the United
P States interested ally in the question wkich is
d about to come up in. the east
d 1t Is well known in st. Petersburg that the
American republic, if it succeeds in obtaining a
IS firm hold on some part of the Mediterranean, has
1t no intention of taking any share of the spoils in
e the event of Turkey being divided. Her intentions
: are to prevent France from acquiring any ben.
e ftnow or Ia future from the catastrophe that
# might follow the breaking up of the Turkish gov
l. ernment and country, and as far as England il
n concerned, to, act in such mannsr that her
/, kpoWer in the ladies will be broken. These are
L. also the two objects whicn Russia has in view.
