dtyelc?ir %ikxt?stx _?___. ? ?.? i ? e. . .?i BY BJJgXire, DUB?SOE* co. : European Intelligence. Latest European d?tes are to tue Uti o? April. The Orion, from Matausas, bad arrived at Liverpool, with IG?O LJes cutcou, and ?19; 000 in specie. Confederate terip was quoted on the loth ut lal J-premium. The bead Constable of Liverpool, under in structions from the Governmaot, is employ ing detectives to obtain information relative to suspicious vessels and to watch tbe move ments of leading Confederates-so the Times states. The Baily News says there can be no doubt that the irritation between England- and the United States is gradually increasing. There are, unquestionably, faults on both sides. But, except in the case of the Alabama., it is im possible to point to any one act which offers just ground of complaint. Earl Russell is uo doubt.determined to do all be can to prevent another Alabama affair. But unless bis ef fort? .are.supported by public opinion, they will be unavailing j and certainly, unless the temper of the country alters, it is difficult to see bow it can be avoided. The Daily'News says there is an impres sion that the Confederate Government cotton warrants are in circulation in England, but it is announced that such of these documents as were created previous to the Confederate j loan have bet n reduced through the medium of that operation. . A policy of insurance was attempted to be effected at Loyds' on the It?ih, the vessel be ing furnished with ^rtiticates from Minister Adams, addressed to Admiral Dupont, dated from tbe United States Legation, Loudon, and stating that Messrs. Howell and Tidman bad furnished Mr. Adams with evidence that the vessel was really bound to Matamoras with a cargo fur the Mexicans, and he therefore cheerfully gave them certificates at their re quest. The Times' editorial savs that Mr. Adams ba? transferred th? policy of the Mex ican land frontier to Euirlish ports of ship ment by a system of passes for English.good* and merchandize, without which they are uot to reach the Mexican coast. The safeguard he bas granted evidently bas a money value, since it was prod-iced at Lloyd's, in order to obtain insurance. If it was likely to reduce tho premium, it gave shippers an unfair ad vantage over all firms to which Mr. Adams, from caprice or misinformation, might refuse his pass. But the commerce of England will t not accept exemption that gives it freedom of.action ott an American ticket of leave. All the coast of Mexico is neutral territory, and by no right can one nf its ports be block nded. In continuing "wir commercial inter course with Mexico, we deny even tho liabili ty to any detention or interruption The traf fic is legitimate, and cannot be carried on in the letters of permits and certificates from the United States Legation, English ruer < hftnti cannot p?? a* Mipplia. ts to foreign Minister* for licenses to-transact business. The wi ole proceeding is monstrous, whether as a calculation or a blunder. The Time-,' city article gives further particulars of the affair. It says.: The gentlemen named in the pass by Mr. Adams are Mr. Howell, an American contractor, and Gen. Zirmau, ol the Mexican army ; and il was the agent* of'these who attempted to effect the insu rance. Mr. Adams, in a letter, said he grant ed the certificates on account of the cr?dita- ' Ide obj-ct in view. That object was to ship arms and ammunition lor tue Mexicans in ' th? war against France. The insurance pro posed was ?80,000 on.the anns and ?o?,000 on the ship's freight. The Globe ^ivcsthe k report that Mr. Adams felt so chagrined at * ^H?^pTfb??eation of his lettvr to tbe SM?*?L.JJ Admiral, that he visited the city to censure ' thc indiscretion of the parties who gave it ' publicity. Tha London Times is very bitter on the letterof the American Minister, Mr. Adams, to Admiral Dupont, exempting a certain ship for Mexico Irom England, and calls it an arrogant assumption. It says thete has been nothing equal toit since Popish bulls were issued from Rome overriding the laws ol Euglanri. It adds; "The exercise of the slightest authority by foreign ministers iu England is not to be permitted tor one mo ment after the assumption of power either con demning or absolving is made known." In tbe House of Commons, on the lGth, Mr. Horsefall gave notice of his intention to call attention to the seizure of the gunboat Alexandria at Liverpool. Lord R. Cecil asked if ?twas true hat spies had been sent to Liverpool to watch the dock yards and the Confederate agents. Sir G. Grey deniee that any spies had been employ- I ed by the Government. Mr. Cobdon gave notice of the following motion, to follow Mr. Horrefall's. " To invite the a tentio'n of the House, from motives of national self-interest and obligations of im plied international engagements, by which the British Government is called upou for a vigilant and ridid enforcement of the provi sions of the Foreign enlistment act, which forbid the furnishing of ships of ^ war to a belligerent power, to be employed'against an other power with which this country is at peace." The Paris Bourse, April IS, closed very dull at 59f. 60c for the Rentes. Sweden is actively engaged in reorganizing her navy, and completing her maritime de fences. The steamship Great Eastern has been safe ly floated from the " gridiron." " The following paragraph in the Paris Mon iteur has attracted considerable attention : M The growing hostility of the United States towards England is exciting the uneasiness in London. The last despatches from the Wash ington Government have a character of in creased irritation." TUE AXOLO-REUEL WAR VESSEL VIRGINIA. -To whatever extent the general plan of building ships for thc rebels in English docks may bo checked, we have information that one of them is now afloat, in parts unknown, to add power to the navy w.i ich the rebels have boasted they would create out of nothing. The Virginia was launched from the Cy le, fatly equipped except armament and supplies. These she took aboard from the French coast, and at once sailed for her rendezvous.

The engineer fell as if wounder when the Yankees approached, and (indiiij him unhurt compelled him to proceed on t Ashland with, the train ; but soon after ar riving there he effected his escape, and cam on to Richmond tho same night. Besides the sick aud wounded on the nm bulance train, there were a number of citi z.-tif; of Richmond, including Col. S. Basset French, Aid lo Gov. belcher, and a few ia dies. They were treated with Cumparutivi kindness by the marauders, who were com mantled bv one Col. Davis, claiming to be t native of liing George county, Va. It is sta ted that they did not disturb the iuvaltd sol diem, but left the ambulance train unharmed though they destroyed the woo 1 train and tbt locomotives ''Thomas Sharp"' and "Nicho las Mills." From Ashland they proceeded to nungar) Station, nine miles from Richmond, and pass ed thc night in that vicinity. Herc they de struyed some railroad property. It is believ. ed, however, that the connection through by this route will be very speedily re-established The nearest approach to thia city ever made by hostile Yankee was accomplished on yes terday morning. When McClellan beleaguered the Capital of the Confederacy, twelve mouth ago, aud " On to Richmond" was the watch word of his numberless legions, live miles was the least distance ever between him and the object of bis hopes and ambition. Bu| on yesterday morning, at 9 Relock, three hun dred Yankee cavalry visited the farm of Mr. John B. Young, on the-Brooko turnpike, two miles from the corporate limits. Their stay, it is true, was brief, but they enjoyed one of the ?oest views of the spires and houstops of the city, and were rewarded by the acquisi tion of three fin i horses, which they stole from Mr. Young. One of the horses they took from a buggy standing before the door. Tb? two regiments of Yankee cavalry that swept by Richmoud Monday, crossed the Pa munkey river at Hanover town, proceeded across the county of King William to the vil lage of Aylett*, and there it is said destroyed eighty wagons and a large quantity of grain belonging to the Government. They carried away tho teams belonging to the wagons and left some eighty, or ninety of their own ex hausted horses. It is also reported that they burnt the granaries at Ayletts, and visited the village of Ay let te, stealing horses, ne groes.

Honour Town and at. the Pipingtree were destroyed, but. that at New Castle, on Abe main st;-ge line from Richmond to Tap pahannock, was not injured. The destruction of thc Idfee train ol' Oovernment wagons at Aylett*, and the s't-res of grain at that place, is th? most serious loss which we have sus tained from the raid. The Government was deriving large supplies from that section of the State, and h id, unlortunately, within the last week largely increased its wagon traius. _Richmond Examiner, Gib inst.

You will understand our location when I tell you that weare about ono mile from the Cherokee line, sixty miles north of tho Arkansas river, near Baug't Mills. I find the country, the whole distinct from here to Taliqua, Park Hill, and on tc Fort Gibson, one complete desolation, and still further on across the bridges, rivers, auc through the whole Creek county, north of the Arkansas river, nothing remaint; but one bar ren waste. The country is deserted and giver up to the destroyer-war. Over seven hundred per ons followed oui scouts into camp, many of them the fainiliet of absconded rebels. They came from necea si ty.
