Named Entity Results, France (France)

It was either on this day or the day before, that the Rojos captured our friend, John Treanor, a Scotchman, but a naturalized American, and put him in prison, because, as they said, he had taken too active a part in favor of Garcia and the Crinolinos. On Friday, we omitted to state, Mr. Etienne Bres, a French citizen, was accidentally killed. On Monday Garcia's cavalry drove back the besiegers. We quote the Flag again: It was on Monday, also, that Mons. Bruzon the Consul of France, under whose flag many Confederate citizens had sought protection, solicited from our authorities that an attempt should be made to compromise the differences, or else to procure a truce, that foreigners might save themselves and property.--Col. Buchel immediately dispatched Captain P. L. Buquor to open negotiations. Captain Buquor went first to Gen. Caravajal's camp, where the proposition was immediately accepted. Capt. Buquor found some difficulty in entering the lines of Gen. Garcia, bu

aris the next day. During his brief stay in London, as the Tablet informs us, he visited several influential personages. The same journal adds that the purpose of this visit to Europe is not known. We learn, however, upon very good authority, that the country to which Mr. Seward has really given him a secret mission is Spain. There, it is presumed, and apparently not without reason, that he will be able to exercise a considerable influence over men in power which can hardly be the case in France or England. The Vibrant of Egypt and the U. S. The following dispatch from the Consul General of the Federal Government in Egypt, addressed to William H. Seward, we find in the Northern papers of the 13th instant: U. S. Consulate General, Alexandria, Nov. 13, 1861. Sir: --I have the honor to announce that the Viceroy of Egypt has again shown his good will to the U. S. by directing the Captain of the port of Alexandria to exclude all vessels bearing an unrecognized flag f

d as its association was valuable to the North. The present opportunity offers Great Britain an ally more valuable than that of the whole European continent, ensuring her predominance in the family of nations, and effectually humbling the pretensions and curbing the aspirations of her Yankee rival. England was obliged about this time, by some expedient or other, by means either fair or foul, to open the Southern ports for the exportation of cotton. Cotton was a necessity to her and to France so urgent as to override all calculations of loss and damage from war. If a sufficient cause of war had not been vouchsafed to her, she would have had to find one by the exercise of diplomatic ingenuity, or manufacture, it to hand. A quarrel was necessary, even if there had been no apple of discord providentially dropped down in the path. The Yankees themselves have furnished the desired grievance; and England loses not one moment in making it the ground of demands as righteous as they are

Army of the Potomac. [our own correspondent.] Manassas, Dec. 17th, 1861. Those who love to read Shakespeare, will remember in "King Henry V." the grand expedition into France, and the plans formed by Bardolph, Nym, and Pistol, to better their condition. Each had his hopes and wishes and saw before him the ambition of a lifetime almost as surely realized as if France were indeed partitioned between the three.--But ancient Pistol exceeded them all in those qualities which indicate the sFrance were indeed partitioned between the three.--But ancient Pistol exceeded them all in those qualities which indicate the shrewd man of business, for he chose the position, which in all ages has been more profitable than any other, that of sutler to the army. He saw in the future all his own wants supplied, and so much did the prospect soften his heart, that he began to look out for the fortune of his friends. "Ah!" says he to corporal Nym, "A noble shalt thou be," and then after promising him a bountiful supply of worldly goods, plenty to eat, and wine from his own cellar, he continues: "For I shall sutler be un
