r prosperous voyages and safe arrivals. I had expected to have gone with them, having with others nearly made up a party for the charter and purchase of a vessel, which was to be freighted with clothing, blankets, shoes, rubber goods, etc., for our brave fellows on the field. The Ordnance Agents of the Confederate Government seem to be actively engaged in sending arms and munitions forward, but very wisely pursue the strictest secrecy in their movements. Their doors, as well as those of Col. Mann and Mr. Yancey, are watched, and their very steps dogged, and not a man can call upon either without having himself photographed by pen and ink for the edification of the powers that "remain" in Washington. General public opinion here is very favorable to us. Every interest of John Bull induces him to side with us in the contest. His keen trade instincts have long since snuffed up the fact, that in the altered condition of matters in America, a Southern demand for sixty or seventy mi

The London papers announce that the Confederate Commissioners, Mann and Yancey, dined on the 9th instant with the Fishmonger's Company. Mr. Robert Mair, of Charleston, who was released from Fort Latayette on parole, reached Liverpool in the steamer North American. The cotton question in England. [From the London Times, Nov. 8] The accounts from Lancashire state that the paralysis of trade in the manufacturing districts, owing to the scarcity of American cotton, is becoming more visible day by day. Each succeeding return shows numbers of miris gradually being reduced in the hours of working; some that were working six days in the week being reduced in time by not being lighted up in the morning and evening, some that were working four days being reduced to three, and some being closed altogether

d peal after peal of shot and shell came thundering after them; but the noble ship sped on her way unharmed, crossed the bar, keeping up the full power of steam till safely passing beneath the protecting guns of Sumter, she was greeted by the garrison with loud and repeated shouts of triumphant welcome, and the heart of every man on board, relieved from the great excitement, said within itself, "All is well." Mr. D. T. Bisble, bearer of important dispatches from Messrs., Yancey, Rost and Mann, was a passenger, and during the chase stood at one of the port holes, holding his hag of dispatches, with leaden sinkers attached, ready to let go should the steamer be captured. Capt. Edwards says the cargo of the Ella Wharley, worth about $700,000, consisted of arms, ammunition, blankets, shoes, medicines, &c. This achievement was, indeed, glory enough for one day; yet this is not all; Capt. Edwards left in the port of Nassan the British steamer Gladiafor, laden with two millions

ason has nothing to do but stand by with his jocund face, and see the fun go on. He will doubtless pursue the policy of "masterly inactivity" sketched out for him by the Times this morning, which has been followed by his illustrious predecessors. Mann and Yancey have taken things very easy. Mr. Mann talks graciously with all his visitors; Mr. Yancey smokes his cigar at the Conservative Club, like a philosopher, and both have left John Bull to fight their battle.

Mexico--Spanish and French Contentions. The Journal des Debats says: We do not yet know what may be the feelings of Spain. Two or three of the Madrid journals have, however, spoken on the subject, and they state that the Spanish General in Mexico will not serve under the orders of the French General; and, as it is very improbable that the latter will receive any order from the former, this is a point on which preliminary negotiations are necessary to secure a common and efficacious action.--But, what is most

have been laid before Parliament. Forty-five official communications have been passed about the steamships Nashville and Tuscarora. The policy of the British Government, adopted in February, 1861, was very forbearing; but they would take care to let that Government which had multiplied provocations and sought for quarrels with her, understand that her forbearance sprang from her consciousness of strength and not timidity or weakness. Earl Russell's answer to Messrs. Yancey and Mann, stated that while England will observe strict neutrality, her Majesty cannot acknowledge the independence of the Confederate States until the fortunes of her arms or a more peaceful mode of negotiation shall determine the respective position of the belligerents. Lord Lyons stated to Secretary Seward, in Dec., 1861, that in case of war Great Britain, would be willing to abolish privateering as between the two nations, if Lincoln would make a similar arrangement.

wing terms: Her Majesty's Government would in the first place be very forbearing. They would show by their acts how highly they valued the relations of peace and comity with the United States, but they would take care to let the Government which multiplied provocations and sought for quarrels understand that their forbearance sprung from a consciousness of strength, and not from timidity or weakness. Lord Russell reports the substance of a conversation he had with Yancey, Rost, and Mann, the delegates who waited on him to urge the recognition of the Confederates. His answer to these gentlemen was, that England would observe strict neutrality.--Earl Russell said--Her Majesty cannot acknowledge the independence of nine States until the fortune of arms or a more peaceful mode of negotiation shall have more clearly determined the respective positions of the two belligerents. There is a short note, written as late as December 20, which shows that even then the British Mi

nited States, in consequence of the commission of some act — underhand or event — of active sympathy with the Southern rebels, and that the English ministers had determined to wheedle, to prevaricate, and even endeavor to intimidate, Mr. Lincoln from time to time, hoping that eventually the "fortune of arms" would be with the rebels, and then the Queen could and would recognize them. Indeed, Earl Russell used the above very remarkable words in a conversation which he had with Messrs. Yancey, Mann and Rost on the subject. Lord Lyons was instructed to inform Mr. Lincoln that, in case of war with the United States, England would consent to abolish privateering, as between the two countries during the war, if the President would do the same — a modest proposition, truly, coming from a Power boasting even then of having twenty thousand guns on her war ships, to a Power engaged in quelling the most formidable rebellion ever before known.
