n the Moniteur, in which Napoleon foreshadows the recognition of the rebel Confederacy as an independent Power. It is interpreted by our Paris correspondent exactly in the sense in which we read the translation received by the Etna, and the writer adds that it would have been embodied in a diplomatic circular addressed by M. Thouvenel to the French Ministers at Foreign Courts, as illustrating to them the exact position of his Majesty the Emperor towards Italy and America. Messrs. Mann, Yancey and Rost, the rebel Commissioners, were in Paris. They reported that Great Britain would soon recognize the rebel Government, but the statement was not very generally credited, although it was believed both in Paris and London that the British Cabinet were very anxious to do so, if its chief members had a plausible excuse. Captain Russell, who was commissioned by Napoleon to report to him on the performance of the Great Eastern during her late trip to and from New York, was also in Par

The spirit in Texas--the crops, &c. A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer from Long Point, Washington county, Texas, says that the war spirit is rife through that gallant State, and that in the event of an invasion by Federal forces, fifty thousand Texans would be under arms and on the march in less than twenty-four hours. He says the Texas boys would willingly pay the expenses of Billy Wilson and his cut-throats, if they would pay them a visit. It is the universa opinion in Texas that not one hundred thousand Federal troops could march through that State. The writer adds that this is the greatest crop year known in Texas for many years.--The wheat crop is all secured and manufactured into flour, and enough of it to feed the Confederate Army for three years can now be bought in Texas at $2 one hundred pounds. The corn crop is one of the most immense ever known in Texas. Grass is knee high all over the prairies, and cattle and horses very fat. Beef is worth two cents per

y sixty Florida volunteers, proceeded towards the fleet. As the Madison approached, Lieut. Selden, who was on board of the Fanny, displayed the U. S. flag and had his sails up. As soon as this was done the Madison fired one of her pieces at the Fanny, whereupon Lieutenant Selden, in a childish display of heroism, fired his revolver which caused his men to jump into the hold of the Fanny in terrible fear of a destructive fusillade from the Madison. But the latter quietly steamed up, and Major Widsmith, who commanded the Floridians, called out to the Fanny to haul down her flag and her sails, or he would blow her out of the water. Lieut. Selden not obeying the order with sufficient promptitude, the Captain of the Fanny did it for him. She was then boarded by the Floridians, was taken possession of, and Lieut. Selden and party were held as prisoners of war. The other vessels were also taken possession of and carried into the Suwanee, where they now are. The prisoners are in the hands o

following. The State troops under Rains, numbering 8,000 men, are encamped at Ball's Mills, in Vernon county, 12 miles from Paninsville.--The men are in good spirits and health.--Within 20 miles are 2,500 more State troops.--Men were gathering constantly into the camp, and a vigorous and healthy military training were adopted by the officers. At the end of this week from 10,000 to 17,000 Southern and State troops will be in camp, well armed and provisioned. The Federal forces, 3,500 strong, were camped at Austin, in Bates county, arming and swearing in Union men, that being the full "bent of their mission," (as they give it out,) and will return very soon to Kansas City — They think a forward movement unnecessary! Only forty-two miles separate them from the "rebels," and the latter can be found without trouble. My informant speaks very encouragingly of the farming prospects in the counties they have visited Wheat in all this part of the State is excellent and abundant.
