ffence and war. They are steam rams, which might be used for the purposes of war without ever touching the shores of the Confederate ports. Well, gentlemen, to permit ships of this kind knowingly to depart from this country, not to enter into any Confederate port, not to enter into the port of a belligerent, would, as you see, expose our good faith to great suspicion; and I feel certain that if, during our war with France, the Americans had sent line-of-battle ships to break our blockade at Brest, whatever reasons they might have urged in support of that, we should have considered it a violation of neutrality. Such is the spirit in which I am prepared to act. Everything that the law of nations requires, everything that our law, that that Foreign Enlistment act requires, I am prepared to do, and even if it should be proved to be necessary for the preservation of our neutrality that the sanction of Parliament should be asked to further measures. In short, to sum up, her Majesty's Gov

The Confederate and U. S. naval officers at Brest treat each other with "dignified politeness." The crews of the Florida and Kearsage, however, have bloody fights whenever they meet. The C. S. steamer Alabama was reported to be off Cardenas, Cuba, with another commander, Capt. Semmes having been appointed to another ship. Among late arrivals reported at Nassau were Messrs. Richardson and Joyce, lately editors of the Baltimore Republican, expelled by Lincoln. Mrs. Trolloppe, the English authoress, is dead.

Lieutenant, the Earl of Carlisle, an old acquaintance, I was most courteously and kindly received, and had a long conversation with him on this and kindred topics. Subsequently I dined with him, when we again discussed the whole matter. He admitted the existence of the evil of emigration and the powerlessness of Government in the matter. Here, in France, I see no change either in the attitude of the Government or in the popular sentiment. In fact, until the arrival of the Florida at Brest, allusions to the Confederacy (except those supplied by our friends in the press) were becoming very rare. The Polish question and the Mexican entirely obscured ours, in which Frenchmen have really felt but little interest. The sympathy at first felt for the Federals has been forfeited by their brutality and insolence; a kind of vague admiration for the heroism of our people has succeeded, but not lively enough to prompt any action nor give us any reasonable hopes of it. The arrival o

He has got up a subscription in England for the purpose of raising funds to supply the Confederate army with medicines, surgical instruments, &c., and to day he gives a dinner at the Grand Hotel in Paris to several leading Southerners and sympathizers, including Capt. Maffit, of the Florida. And, by the way, this terrible little destructive, in a condition better than new, will leave Brest in about ten days, to resume her mission on the mighty deep.--Maffit will have to remain some two months longer in the hands of the Paris doctors. Capt. Hartstein, of the Confederate Navy, is very ill at Munich. Lieuts, Morris, Campbell. Lee, and Barron, of the same service, are now in Paris waiting for a ship. Capt. Blakeley, who has just arrived from St. Petersburg, is much chagrined at the reported bursting of his "big gun," at Charleston. He ordered at once, by telegram, a broth

Advice from France say that the rebel cruiser Rappahannock is rapidly preparing for sea at Calms, and ready to ship guns and stores. The Florida is quite ready for sea at Brest. Her sailing is only a question of time. The Georgia's repairs are in a forward state, and it is expected she will be ready for sea in February. The Charleston Courier has the following paragraph: We learn from undoubted authority that the United States Navy officers commanding the blockading fleet off St. Marks, Florida, communicated with the Confederate officers at that port on the 4th instant, on which occasion the former delivered to the latter Mr. C.

Later from Europe. The Hibernia, with European dates to the 12th, had arrived at Portland. The most interesting items of news by this arrival are the following: It is reported that Great Britain, supported by France, Russia and Sweden, has proposed a conference for the settlement of the Danish question. The basis of England's proposition is said to be that the Danes shall give up all of Schleswig except the Island of Alsen. The Danes had evacuated Duppel and retreated to Alsen. The Florida left Brest on the night of the 9th, and the Kearrage was supposed to be in pursuit.

We understand that the United States war steamer Kearsarge, on being apprised of the Florida's sailing, stood out to sea the same evening, so that there is every possibility of a fight between the two vessels should they chance to get foul of each other.

The Florida. A letter from Brest to the London Herald says: I regretted very much arriving in Brest a day too late to visit the C. S. ship of war Florida.

The Florida is away again, and it may be useful to state that the crew consists of a few Irishmen, a great many Austrians, some Belgians, and quite a number of Italians. This is reliable. The officers, I was told, are fine fellows, and the crew are picked men, who will give a good account of any equal number of the Federals. The European Times says: The Confederate cruiser Florida has most effectually eluded her pursuers. The night she left was dark and stormy, the wind being S. R., and she took the Pass du Roy Channel, going between the Saints safely to see. The last heard of the United States s
