must soon fall and thewar esasef The
dispatches via London seem to re-
eeive a French ooloring, that in spite
Of an evident desire to make It show
the best for France, betray the con
trary. There IS q remarkable resem-
blance between the tenor Of dis
patches from the French officials and
those formerly published Of rebel sue
cess during our late rebellion,
with occasional resemblances TO the
change of base" That come up from
Chiokahominy. The Government,
like thstof the rebel confedeYaoy, too.
has become peripatetjc and moves oil
to Bordeaux. And while all these
reports vary, King William, now the
Emperor, rejecting bOmbast selegraphs
facts that show constant success, and
is never eontradieted successfully.
Prussia notifies Luxembourg that
she will stand no Englishing on her
neutrality. Russia re asserts her
original position on the Eastern ques-

clouds gathering, and anxious to have
some difficulties cleared away before
the threatened war arises, advises the
payment Of the Alabama Claims-''to
