The Attitude og France and England.— i
I'hc statement that England and France will
sustain the policy of the Administration, in
the event of an attempt to put down the
secession of the Confederate States is without
a sliaddow of foundation. Advices received
by the last mail from Europe, by both the Eng
lish and French Legations, indicate pretty
clearly what those two powerful Governments
intend to do. They will keep hands oil, and
wait tlie development of the events. Tim in.
struVti'His to all their agents oti this side ol the ;
wartei" ate clear and explicit. In no event will
they take Sides in the difficult! which now
impeiid oVcr th : S country. They sincerely
hope to see a peaceful solution of the question.
I make this statement. On the highest authority.
'Flic war wing of the Republican party are
in great glee at the prospect of plunging the
Country into civil war and bkol. They do
not hesitate to denounce Gov. Seward in
coarse and ungentlvmnnly language, merely be- ’
cause he opposed their insane and reckless
schemes. Had it not been for his wise counsels
the whole country to day would witness scenes
that would appal the strongest heart. He 1
never will permit this Administration to fol
low the wild and fanatical schemes of the
Abolitionists. — A\ 1
Letters of Mvrqvk ano Repisal.—We
have prettv good authority to announce that
so soon as Mr. Lincoln shall give unmistak
able evidence of coercion against the Southern
Stales, the Southern Confederacy will, at once,
grant letters of mai que and reprisal. Wishing
well to our merchants, wc advise them, there
fore to carefully watch the signs of the times.
The game of war is one that two can play at.
and those capitalists who have furnished the
Government with money to inaugurate a war
against the Smith, may find mit. <re they are
aware, that they have placed a knife in the
hands of an enemy to ent their own throats.—

Secession and Cotton at Twelve and-a
half Cents.—The old Union is dissolved;
seven States are bearing arms and anticipating
war, and yet Cotton, the great staple of the
South, the food of millions, the king of the
world, is at tl,lc enormous price of 12-j cents
per pound. It has not been so high for years.
It goes up in the midst of a revolution, and
despite the prophesies of Black Republicans
and timid submissionists in the border States,
that commerce would be destroyed by seces
sion and our farmers would suffer great loss in
the reduction of the price of this article, we
behold them with happy faces, filling their
pockets with the money thus made, and thank
ing kind Providence for the prosperous times.
Cotton at 12A- cents, and the revolution going
on! This takes the Republicans aback, and
forces an acknowledgement from some ff our
patriotic Soiithctn friends who opposed seces
sion, that things Lave not turned out half so
bad after all. Negroes are high, Cotton is
high, the season is propltous for a good crop,
our people arc happy, and one shout goes up
from mountain to valley fur our new Govern
ment and flic blessings of liberty which it
dispenses to its subjects. Three cheers for the
Confederate Stages and the present price of
Cotton.— Columbus (Gai) Times.

How Europe would Regard a Blockade
of Southern Boris.—The British Minister to
the United States has notified President Lin
coln that the British Government would not
recognize a blocdade of the Southern ports,
unless such a blockade were complete and ef
fective.
No political significance must be attached
to this fact. It was very natural that England
should not desire, by recognizing the blockade,
to show any hostility to the Southern States,
and by a speciis of intervention, more or less
direct, close those ports against herself and
alienate the sympathies of the people from
whom she receives the greater part of the cot
ton which supplies her looms.
In like manlier, it is very probable, as has al
so been announced, that the other great Pow
ers, inspired by the like purely comrnccial con
siderations, wi'l follow England’s example.
It docs not belong to them to meddle in the
internal affairs of the United S ales. J hey
allow their various confederated parts tos< ttle
their matters as they think proper. There, as
elsewhere, they will respect the principle of
nonintervention. On recognizing the blockade,
they would necessarily tafce part with the
Northern against the Southern States, and
would commit a political act instead of con
fining themselves to taking care of their com
mercial interests. — Translated from Le Pays,
of Paris, March 20.
Tlie Insane Movement
'flic Washington Government is displaying
the worst traits of barbarian ignorance, fatui
ty, and brutality. The duplicity and treache
ry df Lincoln are proven by his persistent and
recorded words - . Union men, from the border
slave Stales, were assured by him that his pol
icy Was peace: They caught up his Words and
1 bore il'.em iii trimiiph to their States to iiiflti
i once the people Against Recession. Our Com
missioners were led to believe that the trou
bles of the twb sections would have a peaceful
solution. Fort Sumter was to be evacuated
weeks ago, and is now to be provisioned at
ail hazards. Fox and Lamon were permitted
to visit And< rson arid center with hiiri, unre
servedly, in private, upon the reasonable suppo
sition that the evacuation of Fort Smnt-'r
would bo arranged. Lieut. Talbot was allow
-1 ed to retire from the fort to go to till an ap
pointment in Oregon, and yet in a few days he
returned to Charleston to get back to his quar-
I tors in the Fort. In this however he was
thwarted find lie returtil'd to Washington.—
These and other iiiMances of duplicity on tlu
pai t of the Northern Administration shows it
to be uttorlv (lostitnte of honor or truthfulness.
The Confederate States must regaid it as un
wo>thy of confidence, and deal with it as a
wily and treacherous eribmy.— Aug. Repvb.
Missionaries of the
It now appeals that, under the peaceful’ pre
text of ascertaining the precise condition of
Major Anderson’s command in regard to pro
visions, and with a view to withdrawal, the
Abolition Government has treacherouslv sought
to arrange for the introduction of supplies and
of men into the post. Agent after acent has
been sent on, whether to consult -Major An
derson, or to be guided bv his approval of
their m litary plans, is not manifest. But, it is
plain that our authorities have been dealing
with men whose perceptions of honor acr
vague and famt. They have been deceived
and their confidence has been gi. -sly abusc<i
in at least one instance—that cf Mr. Fox. It
has since transpired in the Northern nr< ss that
this quondam officer presented to the Govern
ment a scheme for reinforcing the fort, and,
alter a conference with the \\ ashington au
thorities. was -ent here to advise with Major
Anderson ontbe subject. I'nder false pretences,
hi- object here was accomplished. Our expe
rience of the faith observed by our American
enemies, while it shows their implacable ma
lignity, and how unscrupulous thev are in its
gratification, will effectually teach us—and we
trust cnee for all—that, in the settlement of
difficulties, we must relv s lelv upon ourselves.
In dealings with such a people, qenero<itv is
thrown away, and magnanimity and chivalry
are esteemed weakness and tody. Cbarlrgfi

Malignity of the Abolitionists.
The Washington correspondent of the Char
leston Mercury’shows the determination of the
abolition government at Washington to call in
the aid of Mexicans and Indians to harrass the
South What an abominable government!
The following is an extract, dated, Washing
ton, April 3d:
The exciting intelligence from the Rio Grande
is considered "indicative of other methods of
attack contemplated by the Lincoln Admmims
tration, in their crusade aginst Southern inde
pendence. Allowance must be made foi exag
geration and error in the telegraphic report
received to-day. It is possible that the whole
story lias grown out of fresh efforts by Cortin
as and bis bandits, who will, of course; be fit
and proper allies of ex-Governor Houston ;
but even this supposition implies a greater br
less degree of participation in the movement
by the Federal authorities.- Certain 't is, that
Houston i? co-opefating with Lincoln, find that
the President, in return, is rendering aid and
comfort to the ex-Governor. On the other
hand, Assuming the despatch to be substantial
ly correct, and that Ampudia, at the head of
Mexican troops,‘is marching upon Brownsville,
the conclusion is irresistible that the I nited
States Government connives with the Mexicans,
for the purpose of harrassing the lexans, and
swelling the difficulties of the Montgomery
Executive.
The appointment of Corwin as Minister to
Mexico has, from the outset, been regarded as
the precursor of trouble on the Mexican fron
tier. The aim of the Administration is two-fold :
to stimulate ami assist Mexico in resisting the
natural growth of slave territory, and to profit
by a Mexican alliance for the purpose of keep
ing up a border warfare, and so distracting the
plans of the Confederacy iti the event of war
with the Northern States. Corwin is the very
man for the business. Traditionally opposed
to Southern expansion, and impelled by his an
ti slavery associations to hate the new Conlcd
oraev. he will bring'all his cunning into exer
cise to commit Mexico to a policy of hostility
toward the Confederate States ; and Mr. Lin
coln is quite ready to help Mexico in return.
Adverting again to the alleged invasion of
the Texan fr< nticr, it is impossible to overlook
the well understood calculations of the Repub
lican party, with regard to aid derivable from
the Indians-. When it was clear that Texas
would prove true to itself and to the South,
the exposed position of its frontier settlements
was dwelt upon with fiendish exultation ; and j
in the discussion c< nstantly going on hero, re
ference is uniformly made to the n-e of Indian
savages as assistants of federalism in the woik .
of coercion. The Republicans are ready to re- ;
enact the demoniac horrors which eternally dis
graced the British cause in the Revolutionary
war. Chatham’s scathing denunciations are
forgotten by the ruling party of the Northern
States.

Germany Manufacturing Arms for South
Carolina. —A letter from a Rhode Island trav
eler, now in Europe, has just been received
here, (says the Providence Journal,) bringing
some interesting news about the manufactuie
of weapons for the South, 'I be writer visited
a large manufactory of arms in Western
Prussia, and was told by the superintendent
that the company was then making 50,000
rifles and 50,000 swords for the Sotrh, and
that the eider came through a Paris banker,
who guaranteed the payment.

Significant.—Ti e following, from the New
Y >rk Day l>>ok, possibly possesses a deeper
significance than many people imagine:
There is a powerful and numerous revolu
tionary organization, the object of which is to
separate the citv and port of New 5 ork from
the Union and from the State, and make it a
free and independent port. We have heard
that a printed programme is in private circula
tion, to which some four thousand names arc
attached, proposing this scheme.
]f<>ur infoitnntion’s correct, as we are forced
to believe it is, the rumor merits touch ventila
tion It may turn out that the success of the
revolution sts at the South has wrought a
wider and deeper disorganization than we had
supposed.

of the St. Louis Republican says that the citi

Richmond, Apr.l 10. — A resolution was
adopted that the people of Virginia will wait
anv reasonable time to obtain answers from
other States to certain proposed amendments
to the Constitution, aware as they arc of the
emb.vrassiuents which may pro luce delav, but

that pacific poliev be adopted toward the sece

A resolution was passed that it is the opinion
of this Convention that Virginia would regard
any action of the Federal or Confederate G>v
