Letters of Marque.--An agent of the Southern Confederation, present in this country, has in his possession letters of marque from the Southern President, for distribution to the commanders of vessels in the Southern interest.
The American Minister here may be similarly provided by the government he represents, as President Lincoln very recently announced his intention of issuing letters of marque and reprisal.--London Shipping Gazette.
