ssion to the declaration of the Congress at Paris, pure and simple. The position that privateersmen were pirates was also abandoned, and the claim of a right to close part of its ports by a paper blockade was withdrawn upon the significant declaration by the European powers that the execution of privateersmen would be inhuman, and an ineffective blockade would not be tolerated. Spain and Portugal published brief proclamations of neutrality, but the Emperor of Russia through a letter of Gortschakoff to the Russian minister at Washington, expressed his unfriendliness to secession and conveyed his assur-ance that in every event the American nation may count upon his most cordial sympathy during the import-ant crisis through which it is passing. Thus stood the relations of the two contending governments with the nations. The Confederacy had won its right to be known as a government de facto and to be treated as a lawful belligerent. Its proceedings had commanded the respect of states

ers had several interviews, but did little more than exchange opinions concerning the state of Europe as drawn up, but not signed, because the Sovereigns and their Ministers could not come to an understanding on several matters of importance.--Gortschakoff failed to convene the Prussian and Austrian statesmen, that it would be advantageous to all parties that the treaty of March, 1856, were subjected to a revision.--Russia is exceedingly desirous of regaining her position on the Danube, and doing away with the neutrality of the Black Sea.

Russia and the United States. --The New York Herald felicitates itself that the Emperor Nicholas, (see Gortschakoff's letter.) fraternizes with the Emperor Abraham, Although it is natural to expect that despots should sympathize, we see no evidence of it in the present instance. The Emperor simply shows than he is a good Union man, but deprecates war, in which respect, it it is clear that the American despot is much more cruel and bloody that the Czar of Russia. As to the subjects of controversy between the belligerents, he expressly says:-- "I do not wish here to approach any of the questions which divide the United States. We are not called upon to express ourselves in this contest."

It is in this sense, sir, that I desire you to express yourself, as well to the members of the general Government as to the influential persons whom you may meet, giving them the assurance that in every event the American nation may count upon the most cordial sympathy on the part of our august master during the important crisis which it is passing through at present.

ays, and the sympathy manifested here for Russia in the Crimean war strengthened her good wishes to all Americans. Therefore, she feels regret, sincere regret, no doubt, at the disaster which has come upon her old ally; but she takes care, in expressing it, to let it be seen that it with is the United States, as it once existed, and not with either North or South exclusively that her sympathies are elicited. The Federalists must be hard run indeed, when upon such a letter as that of Gortschakoff, the whole Government, according to the New York Herald's correspondent, are elated beyond measure. The sagacious statesman, whom that paper has been so fortunate enough to secure as its Washington correspondent, goes so far as to build upon the foundation of this letter the confident prediction that in the event of a war between England and France, (who, he says, will both, undoubtedly recognize Southern independence,) and the North, Russia will come to the aid of the latter.

The statements so persistently made in the Northern press to the effect that Garibaldi had accepted a command in the Federal service, are effectually put to rest by a letter from that Italian patriot to Mr. Frank Vizetelly, positively contradicting the rumor. He authorizes Mr. Vizetelly to say to those who assert that he will come over here — that "he will not come." Russian Versus English "sympathy." The New York Albion (English) remarks, on the recent correspondence between Gortschakoff and the Lincoln Government: We have endured for several months past — sometimes with patience, sometimes under indignant protest — all manner of abuse pelted at our Government and our nation, because both one and the other were said to lack sympathy with the United States. We have, moreover, been occasionally at a loss to comprehend how any official expression of sympathy could be reconciled with the policy of non-interference, to which we were warmly bidden to adhere.
