It was reportea that the merchants and ship- owners of London intended to memorialize the .| Security of person and property British government to putan end at once tothe pretensions of the Federal rovernment in seiz- ing neutral ships bound to neutral ports. The London Times says that merchants and ship-owners appear to regard the order of the Federal government to discharge the cargo of the Peterhoff as merely a pretense to gain time and delay. The London Shipping Gazette sees nothtng in the evidence of the witnesses in the Peterhott case to have ‘ustified the seizure of that vessel, naless it was the alleged thowimg overboard of a box or parcel of papers. The London journals generally regard whe latest American advices as unfavorable for an early peace. The advices had the effect of sending the Confederate loan to a slight dis- count. It was rumored that the rebels had sent another commission to Europe to press media- tion in France and England. The London Observer looks on the mission of Mr. Swarts to Londor san earnest ot the good feeling which animates the Washington gov- erpiment.
