ernment have, in this magnificent lot of tobacco, a fund sufficient to cover a very large portion of the recent Yankee confiscations at the North. Auguste Belmont is a well known banker in Wall street — the same whom Secretary Chase recently sent over to London to attempt a negotiation of the Federal war loan, and who met with a signal failure. A. Belmont is also the intimate friend and financial agent of Gen. Fremont, and is doubtless a sympathizer in that officer's brutal measures in Missouri. We have no doubt that the Confederate Receiver under the sequestration act, Mr. Giles, will look promptly after this tobacco of Belmont. Belmont is the American agent of the Rothchilds; but is the leading member and probably one of the wealthiest men of that house. He may attempt the device of pretending that the tobacco is really not his own, but is the property of the European Rothchilds. Such a pretence, however, would be treated with great distrust and jealousy by our Courts.
