New Ot-ixAHs, April 8.—We have reoelved Galveston dates to tbe 2d iasu Geo. Hountoa eeot a message te the Legislature protesting against the Convention, and appealing te the Legislators te enetaU him. He claims still to be Governor. The Legislature took no no tice of hia appeal. Washington News. Wamhimotojv, April 2.—Mr. Corwin, Minis' ler to Mexioo, has been tendered tbe sloopof- war, Cumberland, to take him to his place of destination. He especially goes there to make a treaty, which is a speciality with lha administration here. It is ascertained that tbe French Consuls in the Confederate Slates have received instruc tions direct from the French Government, in stead of through the Frenoh Minister here, relative to the facilitation of Southern com merce, with that Empire. Although no official notification of the com ing of the French and English fleets has been received here, gentlemen in prominent posi tions are satisfied that these movement* are in close connection with the observation cf Southern political events. LATER PROM EUROPE. The steamship America has arrived with Liverpool dates to the — ultimo. The sales of Cotton on Friday 10,000 bales, af whieh speculators and exporters took 2,000 bales. The following were the authorised quota tiona : Fair Orleans 7Jd; Fair Mobiles 7|M ; Fair Uplands 7k; Mid. Orleans u]d; Mid. Mo biles 7} ; Mid. Uplands 7d. The stock of Cotton on hand at Liverpool was 806,000 bales, of which 788,000 bales were American. He will says that fair qualities bad advan ced £d., and the market closed buoyant. Flour quiet. Wheat quiet, but steady. Corn steady, holders offer freely, but show no dis position to press on the market. Reef quiet. Pork steady. Macon steady. Rosin dull.— Spirits of Turpentine dull. Sugar steady. Cof fee firm. American Securities were quiet; sales were unimportant. Manchester advices were favorable. Varns were firm al Tuesday’s improvement. Havre Cotton Market.—New Orleans Tree Ordinaire was quoted at 104f., fiat at 98f.— Salts of the week 15,000 bales. The market had advanced 2f(?3 franca. Slook, 249,000 bales. The America brought uinety thousand pounds sterling in specie. The Bank of England has reduced its rates to seven. The steamer Adriatio arrived at Liverpool on the 23d. The French Corps Legislative rejected tbe amendment to the Emperor’s Address for the withdrawal of tbe troops from Rome, andadop ted the whole address by' a vole of two hun dred and thirteen agaiuei thirteen. Rkaoy.—It is said now that the last mor tar is in its place and that the ammunition and supplies are all in our possession, so that every means for the speedy reduction of Fort Sumter may be said to be entirely accomplish ed. There is no possibility of supplies or re inforcements being thrown in from tbe sea, for there ie not tbe power in (be United Stales Navy to do it, and of course tbe reduotion of Fort Sumter is only a matter of time. There is one thing clear, that if tbe Gov- ernmeat resorts te force and a sectional war, there must he a very strong and powerful par ty at the North opposed to tb?m. Thie par ty constitutes the commerial cities and monied men and those interested In the industrial pursuits of that section. This di vision being made at the North, compels the Government, in an issue of force, to rely ex clusively upon tbe Black Republican party for the supply of men and money. Whereas, on the contrary, the Confederate 8tates will pre sent one united and unbroken front, with no division, but all ready to defend their homes end their altars. In snob an issuo, there oan be no doubt as to lha final result. In addition to t hia, if there be an appeal to force, it will at once throw the border States of the Southern country against the Dlaok llepubli> ean party and the Government. In euch n struggle as this, the total overthow of tbe Gov ernment at Washington ie inevitable, and con* fusion and revolution will be ioagurated in tbe Northern State#, that must end in their entire end final destruction.—Charleston Courier, April 8.
