ltered from any it has ever held before. Most of the leading journals have discovered that there is a South as well as a North, and speak of "Mr. President Davis" with as much respect as "Mr. President Lincoln." The great Thunderer, the London Times, leads the column upon the Southern side. Lord John Russell and the Law Courts recognize the South as "a belligerent power," and entitled to issue letters of marque and reprisal. The proposition of the Northern press to agree to the Treaty of Paris which before they had refused, comes too late, because England has already acknowledged the right of the South to issue letters of marque, and moreover, having that right, the South refuses to relinquish it, and, therefore, is no more bound by the surrender of that right by the North, than the United States was bound by the surrender of that right by the various Europern Governments. The necessity of England for the peculiar kind of cotton raised in the Southern States is the great fact

or feathering their nests to their heart's content. It has fostered a regular system of plunder by these Northern sharks, who have pirated without scruple or stint upon foreign authors and publishers. It is high time that this literary brigandage was arrested in its career, and the Confederate Congress, has, in the new Tariff, dealt a stunning blow upon it. The South, at all events, will be no longer dependent upon her enemies for the means of intellectual improvement and recreation.--She can procure direct from England and the Continent far superior of every dscription on cheaper terms than she can from Yankee land, and we trust that the day is gone, never to return, when Southern patronage supported, or aided in supporting, Northern publishing concerns, and to that extent impeded and enfeebled the same business at the South. Let us now abandon altogether that foolish practice, and get our books and periodicals benceforward from London, Paris, and the other great European marts.

command, to cruise between the latter and Panama, in order to protect the American California mail and passenger steamers against any privateers that may have been sent in these waters under orders from the revolted States of the United States. The United States sloop Cyane will probably cruise between San Francisco and Acapulco for the same purpose. On the 19th of April General Mosquera started for Chipaquira, to reinforce Colonel Santos Gutierres, who was fearing an attack from General Paris, as he had been sent from Bogota to meet him, soon after the defeat of Canas in Tunja. Lino Pena, who at the same time made an attack on the division at Mesa, was totally beaten, five of his men were killed, seven wounded, and thirty were made prisoners. Obando had joined Mosquera with eight hundred men. Caqueza had pronounced itself in favor of Mosquera. Gen. Jones, who, it seems, came down to Honda with the bearer of dispatches, says that he saw himself, from Villeta, Mosquera's arm

England and Mexico. --The British Government instructed Sir Charles Wyke to rigidly enforce in Mexico the customs convention, by which a certain portion of the duties are hypothecated for the payment of debts due by the Government to English subjects. Significant articles in some of the leading London journals indicate that the question of an active foreign intervention in the affairs of that Republic is entertained in high quarters, both in London and Paris.

speak upon questions of international law; but, at the same time, it is my duty to give the noble Earl all the information I can, and if I should happen to make a mistake I shall be grateful to learned Lords on either side to correct it, in order that no misapprehension may go abroad on a subject of so much importance. With respect to the first question. What meaning is to be attached to the words "a blockade lawfully and actually established ?" I apprehend that, although the agreement of Paris is likely to form an epoch in the history of international law, and although it was concurred in by all the nations of Europe and by several American States, yet it does not in itself constitute a change in international law, excepting as regards those Powers which signified their acceptance of it. I believe, further, even with respect to those countries which entered into that agreement with us, that what took place at Paris made no change as far as blockades, lawfully and actually est

The New Orleans Delta, received yesterday at this officer, says, locally, under the head of "merited compliment:" "A splendid sword, obtained from Paris, has been received, and we learn for warded to Richmond, to be presented to our reportorial predecessor, Sergt. L. M. Montgomery. His friends were much disappointed in not receiving it in time for presentation before his departure; but its reception by him at Richmond will be none the less gratifying. As one of our contemporaries justly remarks, the sword will be as honorably borne as it was merited."

An offer of Mediation from France. "Ralph Easel," the well-informed Paris correspondent of the New York Express, communicates to that paper the following statement, under date of May 14: On Sunday last the Emperor Napoleon received Mr. Charles J. Faulkner, Minister of the United States to the Court of France, who had demanded an audience, for the purpose of presenting his letters of recall. The interview took place in the throne room, at the Palace of the Tuileries. After some preliminary remarks of a personal character, the Emperor unreservedly expressed to Mr. Faulkner his profound regret at the unhappy dissensions now existing between the two great sections of the American Union, and asked whether the friendly mediation of France would be acceptable if the offer were made. Mr. Faulkner replied that he possessed no information of a character to warrant him in giving a direct opinion; but he had no hesitation in declaring that, if the interposition of any foreign power

French interests in South America. --The Paris Sickle, of the 9th of May, says: M. Laferriere, delegate of the Frenchmen who for fifteen years have been demanding indemnities from the Government of Uruguay, has sent us a report on the matter, which states that, though by the intervention of the Cabinets of Paris and London indemnities were promised both to the French and English sufferers, the Government of Montevideo has on different pretexts not paid them. Must France send a naval division to support demands of which the justice has been recognized?

still further developed the offensive policy of the English Government. The Lord Chancellor, who is the authoritative exponent of the Palmerston Ministry in the Upper House, had not only repudiated the maritime code adopted by the Treaty of Paris, but had gone so far as to pronounce that the United States has no right to punish British privateers in Jefferson Davis' service as pirates! He added that the war of the Confederated States against the North was a just one, and their rights as an outcry throughout the whole civilized world." Earl Granville, a member of the Cabinet, threw in his sneer at the blockade of the Southern coast, asserting that "mere paper blockade would not be recognized." and commented upon the "agreement of Paris as not effectuating a change in international law, excepting as regards those Powers which signified their acceptance of it," thus ignoring the last clause of the Paris treaty, by which those who "might hereafter" accept it were placed on a par w

on, and a warm discussion was expected. Advices from Italy say that Gen. Carvignan had reached Turin. Martino, the new Governor of Naples, has issued a proclamation expressing his intention to govern with energy, promising immense improvements in the service of the country. and calling on the people for their support. A petition signed by ten thousand Romans has been addressed to the Emperor Napoleon, praying the withdrawal of the French troops. The petition has been sent to Paris. Accounts from Spain say that Santana continues in command of the military in San Domingo. In Hungary the collection of taxes by military execution has been suspended, the Diet guaranteeing the amount due till the question of taxes shall be settled. Prince Orloff, the President of the Russian Council of Ministers, is dead. In England the American question was still paramount. Minister Clay's letter attracts considerable attention.
