A semi-official dispatch from Washington says that Minister Dayton had no authority for his assurance to M. Droayn de L'Huys that the United States Government would receive a minister from the Government of Maximilian in Mexico, etc. European News. An arrival from Europe brings advices to the 27th--two days later. The news is unimportant: A final agreement in regard to the Mexican loan had been drawn up, and an agent had been sent to the Archduke Maximilian to obtain his signature to the contract. The confederate steamer Georgia arrived at Bordeaux on the 25th. It is rumored that great coolness has arisen between Russia and France, the former having acquired the conviction that France is plotting mischief in European Turkey.

It was not proclaimed, however, at the latest date. Napoleon dispatched one of his Generate to aid in the solution of the Hapsburg family complications about Mexico. The rebel privateer Georgia was in the river Garonne, France, opposite Bordeaux, for refitting. --The crew of the Georgia would not give any information relative to the recent operations or the alleged burning of the American ship William Cramptoe. A correspondence between Secretary Seward and the British authorities oal documents, and proves that the French Government is quietly conniving at the efforts of the rebel agents to have iron clad war vessels built in France for the rebel service. From recitations of the Opinion, it appears that firm at Nantes and Bordeaux have been for months at work building war vessels, ostensibly for China, but really for the rebels. Mr. Dayton last fall laid before the French Government proofs of the real destination of the vessels, and after much delay the work was stopped

eason. They are dangerously expanded as a body, and cannot pay their debts except in interest bearing notes, and are overloaded with fancy stocks as collaterals. Miscellaneous. The New Orleans Bee, of the 7th, says that the French had occupied Matamoras without opposi- tion. Two regiments had landed, and all communication with the interior was for the time interrupted. New Orleans advices of the 9th have been received at New York. The reported sinking, in Mobile Bay, of the Confederate ram Tennessee, is unfounded. A disastrous fire occurred in New Orleans on the 8th. The warehouses of E. A. York and A. F. Cochrane were destroyed, involving a loss of several hundred thousand dollars. The Paris correspondent of the New York Times says that one of the vessels built at Bordeaux for the rebels has been launched, and an English vessel was lying there with equipments. The Rappahannock has been enclosed in a dock at Calais by order of the French Government.

on Clads in France. --A Paris letter in the N. Y. Times, dated the 29th ult, says: One of the vessels built at Bordeaux by M Arman, Deputy in the Corps Legislatif, for the Confederate Government, was launched on Thursday last, and shows herderate hands. The Georgia, which left the French port of Cherbourg over a month ago, has just put into the port of Bordeaux, and on Saturday the officers of this vessel visited the newly launched Confederate ship. It is yet unexplained why thethis purpose only twenty-four hours is allowed, and the Georgia seems to be making more than a twenty-four hours stay at Bordeaux. The distance from Bordeaux to the sea is seventy miles, and the occasion seemed so good a one to entrap the GeorgiBordeaux to the sea is seventy miles, and the occasion seemed so good a one to entrap the Georgia, that the American Minister at Paris immediately telegraphed Capt Winslow of the fact, and the Kearsage, which lately had been stationed in the channel, has by this time probably arrived off the mouth of the Gironde.

We do not think we have any right to the object which is generally assigned to the presence of the Georgia at Bordeaux, but her departure will be, perhaps, less tranquil than her arrival, as a Federal vessel is said to be cruising night and day off the mouth of the Gironde.--Bordeaux (France) Gironde, April 9. visited the vessel, distributed among the men some bottles of brandy, and the majority of them became the worse for liquor--Capt Maffit, on returning, had sixty of them put in irons.

of the house. As the man enjoyed a highly respectable position and an ample salary, it was clear that no ordinary or small temptation could have induced him to forfeit his prospects and his country, and to risk the galleys. Not long afterwards Mr Dayton, the Federal Minister at Paris, in a correspondence which has been recently published, submitted to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs what purported to be copies of papers implicating M Voruz, and also his correspondent, M Armand, of Bordeaux, by the evidence of their own signatures, in extensive transactions for building vessels of war for the Confederates. Upon this evidence, Mr Dayton based a formal demand for the seizure, or at least detention, of certain vessels, and other measures to frustrate the nefarious attempts of the Confederates against the neutrality of France. We have no means of judging of the genuineness of his evidence, and we understand that both Messrs Voruz and Armand decline, as they have a perfect mo

strong probability of a speedy crushing out of the rebellion from its representative at Washington a short time since, which has led to an entire change of programme on its part. This accounts for the statement made by the Minister of State in the Corps Legislatif, some ten days since, in substance that the French Government had no intention of recognizing the Confederacy, and for the action of the Government in giving orders to prevent the departure of the vessels built for the rebels at Bordeaux and Nantes. The Emperor has managed thus far to keep himself exceedingly well balanced upon the fence of "neutrality"--giving certainly to the rebels the "word of promise to the ear, and breaking it to the hope." but ever ready, the moment he saw the tide of success surging in our favor, to show himself, as he undoubtedly henceforth will, to be our very good friend, and, if necessary, our most humble and devoted servant. With such stirring events crowding upon each other with such rap

The armament of the Florida has not been attered since she first went into commission, and consists of a 120 pound Blakely rifle gun amid ships — same metal on the bow, and six broadside 68 pound Blakely rifles. Capt Semmes is stated by Mr. Vogel to be still in command of the Alabama, and cruising in the China Seas. Lieut Evans, of South Carolina, is in command of the Georgia, at last accounts in Bordeaux, France. The following list of the officers of the Florida is furnished by him for the benefit of friends at home: Commander, M Morris; 1st Lieutenant, S G Stone; Master, R S Floyd; Acting 2d Lieutenant, B Barron; 3d Lieutenant, -- Midshipman G D Bryan, Acting Master; Paymaster, R Taylor; Surgeon, C Chariton; Midshipmen, T Sinclair.

ed States Minister that the Alabama was under the necessity of quitting Chesbourg, and once beyond the legal distance, she had no alternative but to fight, to surrender, or try to escape. France-rebel-the New Privateer. [From the Gironde of Bordeaux, June 24. The steamer Yeddo which has just been constructed in the building yard of M. Arman, of this city, and which is supposed to belong to the Confederate Government, left the roadstead yesterday morning. She had made a trial trip on Moed her preparations on the following day. The Yeddo measures 682 tons, and has a crew (entirely French) of sixty five men.--She is commanded by Captain Pater, who is a native of France also; and was for a long time master of vessels belonging to Bordeaux, she is freighted with different kinds of goods, and is dispatched by M. Arman himself through M. Cansee ship broker. The Yedde is bound for Amsterdam, but everything concerning her departure and the object and aim of her voyage remained a prof

France and the Confederacy. --The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes: The French Government is subject to hot and cold fits; and at a time when it was amicably disposed to the American Confederate States leave was very readily given for the building at Nantes and Bordeaux, nominally for commercial purposes, but really for war, of two steam corvettes and two rams. Leave is too weak a word — encouragement and instigation would be more correct. When the vessels were nearly completed a cold fit came on, and orders were sent that the vessels should not be delivered over to the Confederates; but, although the ground alleged for detaining the ships was that they were constructed for a belligerent, the corvettes and the ram have been just sold to the Prussian Government though Prussia is a belligerent. This does not look like neutrality, and it looks still less like a friendly weakness on the part of the French Government towards its old ally, Denmark.
