IMPIJRD-PROMISE BY LORD PALMERSTON TO RECOGNIZE THE CON FEDERATH. STATKS. |:' {Paris CorrcBpondcuco (Juno 10) of thc Indepcud anoo Uolgo.] K '^ Tho-Pnris correspondent of tho Independ \. <tnce Helge, writing undor dute of Juno 10, K says : I told jou thnt Mr. Rost, deputy to Europe from tho Southern seceded States, nppenred to havo returned very well satisfied with his trip to London. I cun now give you sonic details. Mr. Kost lind obtained from Lord Palmerston tho formal promise of thc recogni tion cf tho Southern States at a period moro er ICBS remote. Perhaps tho English Minis ter luid, asa by-view, thc intention of waiting to seo whether tho seceded States will bo able jp to resist tho efforts which those of thc North - are going to attempt against them. According to tho impression brought away by Mr. Kost, thcro was no understanding be tween Franco and England in regard to u si multaneous recognition of thc Southern States, lint it appears that tho recognition will bc made separately by these two Powers. It is ^foreseen that this determination of tho Eng lish government would excite a iivcly irrita tion in tho Northern States. I do not know whether it is supposed that that irritation will ?(0 as far ns a declaration of war against Eng end by thoso States. Hut I am pretty posi tive that thc British government is preparing for any emergency. LOUD DER?Y S VIEWS-FRANCK MUST HAVE COTTON. [From the London Herald, June 14..] " It s an ill wind that blows nobody good." Tho niucli neglected Great Eastern, after all sorts of misadventures, has atlast found its way into Government employ, and wc venture to think its capacity ns a troop ship will prove .so extraordinary ns to recommend its perma nent appropriation to thc Government service. ?Lord Palmerston's anticipations have, in fact, been already disproved. Thc intelligence brought by tho last mail from America is of a very grave, if not of a ?turtling diameter, mid lins compelled thc authorities to tnko immedi ate steps for placing thc defences of our North American dependencies on a proper footing. Three infantry regiments, wo arc informed, aro under orders for Canada, with a corres ponding force of artillery. These troops, with nil tho requisite material, horses, &c., will easily bc stowed away in thc Great Eastern; and wo may hopo vory soon to hear that there is no need of further anxiety about tho safety of British interests on thc North American continent. Too much precaution cannot be taken in the present excited state of the North ern portion of tho Union. Already, wc under stand, meetings have been held and threaten ing language has been used in districts ad joining th? Canadian frontier. Mr. Seward's habitual language and avowed policy in refer ence to this country placo us under no neces sity for apologizing for any apparent mistrust. Nor omi a great power prudently, or in bare ju?tiso to its own rights, maintain an attitude of porfect confidence when its forbearance nnd neutrality aro so violently assailed and so wnn tonly misrepresented. Tn?rc is, apparently, s mething very mys terious now going cn nt Charleston. Thc ?ports of South Carolina were declared blocka ded. Tho Niagara was for some time sta tioned off tho harbor nt Charleston, mid tho 4rlookndo wus effectively maintained. Sud denly wo bear of the departure of tho Niagara southward, and of tho virtual raising of thc bichado. Such a stato of things cnn hardly foil to pn moo very mischievous results, and it scorns to .yo inevitable thnt belove long thc question of a paper blockade will become u subject of serious discussion. Tho Govern ment and tho nation havo dir hyed every do sire t6 conciliate American iceling. They sympathize dooply with the great Republic in its trials. But noithcr sympathy for its ca P {amities, respect for its powor nor regard for its throats must induce a British Minister to forego one iota of tho rights of British sub jects. V Wo desire the moro earnestly to impress this upon tho Foreign Soorotnry, as it is ro 'Y:.??. ported that the strict letter of the law will bc rigorously insisted on by tho French govern ment: that n "mero paper blockade" will '. not bo allowed to stand tu tho way of the ship ping of cotton from New Orleans to Havre, and that, rather than imperil tho interests of tho French manufactures, thc Frenolt govern ment would bb inclined to acknowledge tho independence of tho Southern Confederacy. What truth thcro may bo in tho rumor wc know not. It would not bo i now thing to find Louis Napoleon noting more energetically for tho interests of bU-subjccts tiran our own goverotuent for thole of thc British manufac turer. iW'?t ls. envious that it will not do for Manchester to bo dependent upon Havre for ito supply pf gotten, apd moro than for %\\\? country to J? tivdeutcd to the fereignor f?t tho reflexion of IK*, undoubted righto ai a W%tt![ mtf?t. \ ,??Atf<i'?

D??C, ~*iC*.r.C? .t...^v. uj uuuviiviu nu.-ju uni ty or Northoro connections. * ii.** * But the dcuial of an audience to Mr. Greg ory is, perhaps, tho most significant, point of all, - Tho House of Commons has felt that the United States Government would rather there dion ld bo no discussion on thc contest between j themselves and thc Southerners. Tho Gov eminent of the 1" ni ted Stutes takes its stand on a documcet. to which all living Americans arc to be bound, because a tenth patt of their number agreed to it seventy-five years ago. ' To enter into legal or constitutional disquisi tions would in this caso only endanger the theory according to which tho United States still claim tho ollcginnco of tho Southern States. This claim is almost identical with those which Kings, or Cardinals, or sovereign communities havo advanced as often as rebel lion has broken out against them. That tho Southerners havo no right to as sume any powers but thoso which their fore fathers reserved, tb their respective States-in other words} that authority and positive law determine thc stains of a people, instead of actual desires of Hie majority-is thc doctrine of tho North, and though wc conceive it to bo tho most wholesome, and, in fact, necessary to thc cxistenco of ouy large State, yet it is cer tain that it has never obtained in the Ameri can Union, and that thc lute President, 31 r. Buchanan, did not fail to repudiate it, and to acknowledge that it was within thc power ol eaeh State to secede by thc exercise, of what he called a revolutionary right. In fact, as is almost always thc case when war breaks out, there is no question to argue, Tho Confederate Stutes exist by a breach ol tho Ci nstitution which was not provided for because it was held to be impossible. AV her tho impoverished, misgoverned, and almost ruined original States combined to form a sin gie nationality, there can bo no doubt tba they had no afterthought, and that, thougl they battled on thc terms of entra?en into titi Union, yet when once there they considere* themselves fused into one nation. All tin elaborate argument of President Davis fails ti show that tho Constitution provided the mean of its own destruction, and that, while prc claiming thot it was thc supreme law ( ' th land, it organized a machinery for setting it plainest dictates at defiance. "We all know that, from an intcmntiona point of view, thc origin of tho Confoderat States does not appear very consistent witl thc laws of any morality, political or other. But on the other hand, there is thc logic c facts. Secession ?.as been complete, a Gc eminent has been orguuized at Montgomery to which no less than eleven States of th American Union pay implicit obedience. A A general rule, thc most successful revolution in Kuropo must pass through a phase of anni ehy. 'J hero, was anarchy in Sicily and Napli when Garabaldi invaded them, and even i 1848 it may be said that the flight of Lou Philippe was followed by a period of violent which might have justified tho former rulci in re asserting their power if possible. But far different is thc case of thc Secede States. There the State governments are c1 crything ; and when South Carolina and Loi ?siana broke otf from the North, they carrie every clement of political life with thom. With thc exception of a military force, tlx had every attribute and every rijiht of ind pendent communities. Their President ( 1) vis) beasts, with some reason, that the emir; of regular administration is not altered, ai that thc pretence of thc Northerners to find rebellion in States well ordered and conten shows their ignorance of tho South, and tl tyranny with which they would bend it their wishes. But these parties are ready lo avenge on any advantage which adversaries may ga from European interference. The North tho more poweiful of the two; it is nearer us, and speaks louder than thc socessionis and we consequently consider it more than i opponent when the question of neutrality concerned. But it duct not follow that t anger of thc Confederates might not also bc much inconvenience, if not danger, to Kn laud. They aro not likely to threaten us, to assault us, without a throat ; they have minister to withdraw, and no navy to get in conflicts with. But a people who control t great crop which feeds three or four millie of Englishmen m hst always, he of some itupi tance in tho eyes of an Assembly like t House of Commons ; and not merely lo .'iVi present trouble, but to deprecate future 1 trcd, the representatives of the British nuti wisely refused to discuss tho merits of thc censed nnd implacable combatants. COMMERCIAL ALARM ON TUF. WAR QUEST! IN EH AN" CK-A PETITION THOM THE CHA HER OF COMM EH CE TO THE SENATE. [From tho London Shipping .Gazette, June l-l Thc progress of hostilities in America, a thc prospect they hold out of injury and convenience to thc Kreuch trade, have indue thc Chambers of Commerce of Marscill Bordeaux, Dunkirk and other leading po of Kranoc, to petitiou thc Kreuch Senate, say that, seeing privateering is abolished a tho commerce, even of belligerents, safe um thc neutral flag, merchant ships not carry! contraband of war should not bo liable to c turc. This would, if complied with, arnon so far ns France is concorned, to the prop? Mon of Mr. Marcy, that private property, war time, should bo exempt front seizure armed vessels--tho condition on which Utiltcd States Government, six years a consented to abolish privateering. Thc Kroi Scuato does not sec its way to recommend tho adoption of thc principle contended for tho petitioners. Tho Emperor has endcavo to bring about arrangements favorable to immunity of commerce, and thc free mc mont of mcrohnnt ships in war time, mid e? to frnmo a list of contraband of war to agreed to by all thc maritime Powers, so t thqre should bo on thc outbreak of war, doubt what docs or docs not const i tuto con bund. Theqo offorts have beeu success and it is ovidont that they relate to questi tho settlement of which can only bc effet by a general consent. Vet jurists have tempted, and not without success, to elle classification of those articles of - com nu which are generally held to ho contraban* war. These havo been defined to bc--* 1. Those whoso uso is solely appleubl purposes of ponce. 2. Thoso which aro of direct use jn wai 8. Thoso which nrc of doubtless UBC ( : miscui at\?n>x'tjfi v?tis% ns being upplieabl pur pwd ')f pence or war, 4? Those which havo been declared t comr,?bnnd by trent) entered into by a i Ifni, oed one or both ot tbo belligerent Poi 5. Tho80 which hnvo been dcclured to ho contraband by publio notification of ono of thc belligerents. These, it will bo observed, which aro noth ing moro than general classifications or divis ions, leave undetermined the Iorgo nod con stantly recurring questions of whut articles oiiuuid bu included in ono or Other or inc di visions. Tho fact is, that ns it hits been long since laid down by Lord Stowell, anything in tho shape of merchandize may bo regarded as contraband of war, if it is intended for tho support, aid or comfort of un enemy. Until of late years, coal? were never heard of ns in cluded ntuongst articles contraband pf war. Coals, h 'wever, were so regarded by thc Hus slap government in 1851, and by the Austrian government ia 1859. In fact, thc law of na-1 tions recognizes the right of cither belligerent to declare any articlo contrabatid of war, pro- ! vided duo notification bo givon to that ellect. 00 this subject of contraband of war, thc Ku repenti Power? have, from timo to time, como to arrangements amongst themselves. Such j un arrangement was included in tho treaties of llyswick, Nhr.cgucn and Utrecht ; and at a ( considerable earlier period on understanding ; was arrived at on tho subject of contraband : of war between France and Knghmd. There is nothing to prevent such an understanding being entered into between the Kuropean : Powers, or any of them, and tho belligerents j on thc other side of the Atluntio; and, in thc interest of maritime commerce, wc have ouly to say thc sooner it is arrived at the better. That thc Ffonch Government should refuse to entertain tho request of thc Chamber of Commerce that private property should be respected in war times, if unaccountable, is, j at least, inconsistent. The Declaration of Paris was tho proposal, if not the work of Count Wnlewski, and that Declaration guar antees the immunity of thc enemy's com merce under thc neutral flag, and of neutral commerce under the enemy's Hag, contra band of war excepted. To say that nil mer .chant ships not currying contraband of war J shall bc exempt, is but to go a step further in the direction of tho Declaration. This step, however, the Emperor declines to take. To do so would Le, [ti his opinion, gratuitously to weaken the naval force of France, n.ore especially as France possesses few colonies and. no great extent of foreign trade. These, it seems to us, are just the. reasons why thc French Government should aid by every means thc liberation of commerce from thc disabilities attaching to it, whether in peace or in war. The interruption to maritime commerce produced by hostilities may bc sup ported hy a notion which has large colonial possessions and a commanding trade, but it becomes a serious consideration with a State wlierc these considerations arc reversed. But the foreign trade of France is greatly on thc i ti crease lt is time for Fr?tice to take her ph ce ns a great maritime power, mid to declare in favor of tho adoption of thc en lightened, humane and progressive principle of thc immunity0 of thc property of non combatants, whether by sea or by land, fioin tho ravages of war. Perhaps, however, Franco is w Wing for this country to eut in this respect tho example. If so, there is no excuse ou our part for this continued embar rassment of a question in which thc inter ests of commerce and of navigation arc so deeply involved. The policy of thc French Government, ns it respects the American civil war, is at length declared. Tho Moa ifnir of this day announces it to bc thc Imperial re solve to maintain "a strfot neutrality in the conflict between thc Government of the Union and thc States which pretend to form a separate confederation." The sympathies of thc French Government may, perhaps, without much difficulty, be inferred from the wording of this declaration, hut it is obvious thal thc understanding between France and Knglanel on the American question is so far complete that it insures in the every action of both Governments, a similarity of action us woll us of expression ; and this is perhaps as much as, under thc existing slate of things, wc have a right to expect from France or any other Continental State. MU. oil Kt ion Y'S VU'.WS. Mr. Gregory, M. P., has written a letter to tho London Times, giving rearons for wish ing thc Confederate States to be recognized. Wo copy thc following extract : " 1 lid vocale, hint ly, tho recognition of tho Southern Confederacy, because 1 bel.icvo in their right to assert their independence. In spite of the letters ol' your able and most re spected correspondent, Mr. Motley, 1 should have shoWn from the earliest duys of Ameri can independence down to thc present time, the doctrine of State sovereignty hus I cen held by some of the mest eminent Americans, and that, though it has been chiefly a South ern doctrine, yet that it was endeavored by thc North toput it into execution seventeen years before South Carolina, in 1802, attempt ed to follow thc example Mr. Motley has forgotten apparently thc I Inri ford Convention in 1815, when State rights-resolutions were pas-scd and secession fully meditated ; he has also forgotten what occurred in tho State Legislature of Massachusetts, when one branch of that Legislature declared Massa chusetts to bc out of thc Union should Texas bc admitted into it. " Thin, as to ronni crcinl considerations. The Morrill tariff is an announcement of the breaking up of thc commercial intercourse between thc United States and Kurope. lt is the successful issue of Northern policy, against which tho South has invariably, but in vain, protested. Thc separation nullifies that selfish, short-sighted rctrogndo policy, and the Western States ought to bc thankful for any event likely to break down n system so utterly opposed to tho interests. When tho commercial trcnty with Franco was dis cussed last year, one of thc points mainly in sisted on by Mr. Bright and thc advocates of that mensuro was this : that every order for French goods wns ah-additional link in that chain by which commerce was to bind thc countries in constant amity, mid 1 entirely and cordially concur with Mr. Bright in that opinion. There nro but two countries likely to como into'collision with langland-Franco and the United States. With Franco wo hnvo dono eur best, by means of increased comtuoroitd intercourse, to promote and estab lish pfcoco. Hitherto tho vast mercantile transactions hetweon England und tho United Stntds hnvo, in spite of perpetual subjects of dispute between us, rondcrcd wnr impossible, but a Morrill tariff will econ chango this state of things. I have hero endeavored to give a sketch of the objects I hud in view in urging tho recog nition of the Southern Confederacy. I should have done thia with Perfect good feeling to wards the North, mid with thc moat hearty deslro foy Its prosperity.

"Tho revenue from tobacco is very hugo; tho supply moy ho stopped, und wo may then regret thc loss of tho paper duties. Thoro aro licld by otu* countrymen sixty 'millions sterling of Ameri can securities ; if this war bc protracted, can they expect to receive cither principal or in terest? And if in this particular- instance wc depart from our usual praotico of recogni zing as independent a Stato possessing a rfc facto government and all the elements of per manency and progress, can we suppose that bianco will follow our .example and become dependent on Kilgin0(1-for such would be tho case-for cveiy pound of cotton, she re quires? I cMitmt but believe tho interests of France and Kngland lo bc indent icu I in this American question, and that the recognition by these two great Powers of thc ?Southern Confederacy would C?UfiO the war party in tho North to pause before plunging their country men deeper into the sad struggle I am con fident, however, that when calmer reflection shall have succeeded to that storm of passion now sweeping over tho North, tho citizens of thc United States will" see that those who, like myself, advocate the recognition of thc new r<public, f1j KO not from any hostility to wards them, nor from any advocacy of slave ry, but from love of peace and unrestricted commerce, from horror of civil war mid fu ture years of deadly hatred ; and whatever bald words may be used towards us at present, I nm convinced hereafter that we ?hall bo considered their sincere friendr.
