"Confederate Documents."

--The Lincolnites who control affairs at Washington profess to be in possession of a number of ‘"important Confederate documents,"’ among which is one from Judge Rost (dated March 21) to Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, giving a long account of an interview with the Spanish Secretary of Foreign Affairs at Madrid, which concludes as follows:

‘"This is the substance of what may be considered of some importance in a long and cordial interview. I infer from it that this Government will not act separately from England and France. Owing to the enormous preparations made by the North to subjugate us, I believe that nothing is now to be exacted from any of them until the Northern Government is ready to treat with us as an independent power. If it be so, and the war is to last many years, at the President intimates in his inaugural, it will be for him to determine whether it is consistent with our dignity to keep longer abroad commissioners whom he knows are under no circumstances to be received or listened to."’
