The Paris correspondent of the London Daily News states that the French and English ministers at Washington have received identical instructions to attempt a moral intervention, exclusive of any idea of force. The Paris correspondent of the Independance Belge also reiterates his former statements in reference to intervention. At a meeting at Ashton under Lyne resolutions were adopted calling on the government to recognize the Confederate States. A letter from Mr. Russell to the London Times charges upon Secretary Stanton the trouble to which he was subjected; he also says that General McClellan has expressed himself strongly in reference to the Secretary's conduct to him and to Mr. Russell also.

His first discharge cripples the Warner, which, left exposed -five men, dead or wounded, are lying about between decks. At the same time the Covington and the Signal have encountered Lyne's artillery, but, as the Warner bars their way, they are obliged to turn up the stream and to abandon the Warner, which, b left bank, in the hope that the bend of the river and the high bluffs which border it on the right will protect them from Lyne's fire. But at this moment Yoist arrives with his section, and, running it boldly up within less than four hundred yards emy's vessels, riddles them with shots.
