Our Southern Confederacy in England and France

--Highly Important News.--It is not only a very remarkable coincidence, but a very significant fact, that on the 4th of March, the day which ushered our new Administration at Washington into power, Mr. Gregory, in the British House of Commons, "gave notice that on an early day he would call the attention of her Majesty's Government to the expediency of a prompt recognition of the Southern Confederacy of America." Thus, while from Washington the indissoluble character of our old Union of November last was proclaimed to the world, its disruption was formally announced in the British Parliament, and with the view to the official recognition of that independent Government set up at Montgomery, Alabama, which Mr. Lincoln's Administration theoretically ignores.
