The English journals accor praise to the Union troops. “The Morning ft ost says, except at Antietam, they never showed mo # steadi- ness. The Daily Telegraph thinks Meade en- utled to more credit than any Federsl com- mander, he having at a single blow altered the character of the conflict. The Times does not yet see ground for Lin- coln’s hopetul anticipations. The principal siruape is tocome. Looking at Vicksourg and Por ndson as well as at Pennsylvania, the Times estimates the chances as heavily against the Federals. The Times says: Mr. Evarts, who visited London to assist Mr. Adams in international questiens, returns home in the Scotia. The belief is that his presence has been useful, and that he has conducted his mission with satis- fuetion to all parties, In the House of Commons Lord Oecil asked whether compelsation would be granted to { Captain Blakely for the detention of the steam- { er Gibralter, late Sumter, and complained that the Government allowed themselves to be made the tools of Mr. Adams. Mr. Gladstone caid the Government were not aware that Captain Blakely had sustained any injury by the detention, and he repudiated the idea of the Government being influenced by pressure from the American Minister. Professor Wheaton has invented x system by which messages can be sent through an AUan- tic cable three times quicker than by any known method. FRANCE. The Russian note delivered to France on the 17th ascerted to be very conciliatory, all the six oints are assented to; butan auinesty to all ying down arms is proposed instead of an ar- Mmistice. The Polish insurrection cortinues active. Itis reported that France has oris about to renew overtures to England and Spain on the Mexican question MR. ROEBUCK WITHDRAWS HIS MOTION TO RECOGNIZE THE SOUTH. In the Honse of Commons, on the eyeni the 13th, Mr. Roebuck rose and said :—Sir: I rise for the purpose of moving thai the order be read for the purpose of its being discharged. (Hear, hear.) I brought forward that motion untier the feeling that 1 was about to invite the House to take astep which would haye the effect of putting an end to the horrible carnage now coing on in America, and which would also serve the commercial interests ot Great Britain. For so doing Ihave incarred much obloquy—an obloquy that has come troma very uolsy, if not irom a very wise, party. ter. ot ereby. The nobte lord at the head of the Government had said that the continuance of this debate was an impediment in his way to the good government of the country. [Hear, hear.] 1 have paid re- spect to the noble lord’s wishes, and I have likewise induced my honorable friend (Mr. Lindsay) to torego his feelings in the matter. When the noble lord sat downon Friday last, my honorable friend and myself were perfectly or at least very nearly satisfied with what had been stated, and if nothing more had been said, there the matter could haye ended; but official arrogance is a plant of portentiously rapid growth, [loud laughter,} and the Under Secre- tary for Foreign Affairs thought fit to bring a charge against my honorable friend, to which he believed his honor and his feelings called for ananswer. but, sir, a little cool reflecuon has tangat him that insinuations of the kind coming from such quarter may not be regarded. {Loud cries of oh! oh! and hear! hear'!] It has been stated thatthe time has not yet come for the consideration of the question, and I have yielded to the suggestion. But-iet the noble lord bear in mind that’ there are two dangers before him which he will have to meet, and which England will haye to meet—andone is the possibility of the reconstruction of the Union upon # southern basis and the other is the acknowledgment of the Confederated South by the Emperor of the French alone. There are two great dangers for England— [eries of no, no! and hear, hear!) The noble sord will, I have no doubt, with his long expe- rience, fully justify the confidence of the people in his consideration of these two great ques- tons. I leaye them, sir, without hesitation in his hands, though I must say that mg opinions are entirely against the withdrawal of them from public consideration at the present time. England and England’s interest demand the decision of this House, and it is only under a teeling of great respect for the noble lord that I now withdraw this motion. [Hear, hear,} Mr. Lindsay followed with an account of his interview with the French Emperor, and endeavored to vindicate himself from the charge of being “an amateur diplomatist.” Viscount Palmerston followed, reviewed the personal question in regard to the volunteer mission of Roebuck and Lindsay as ambassa- dors in behalf of the Rebels, which he pro- nounced irregular, and that the British v- ernment preferred to get its communications from foreign pewery through its accredited ministers and diplomatic agents. Mr. O'Donoghue protested against Roebuck’s bitter hostility to the North. He believed that Roebuck and his friends were actuated by the belief that the destruction of the Union would be of great advantage to England. He should consider it the greatest calamity tothe world. The London Times, editorially, shows the inexpediency of Roebuck’s motion, contending that the present time is inopportune for inter- derence. An important debate took place in the House of Lords on Polish affairs, rds Russelland Derby both agreed that it was not a case for armed intervention, and England could do nothing further than submit proposals, which she had done. Lord Derby deprecated diplo- matic interference, The debate was considered by the London ~} journals as decisive of the policy whieh Eng- jand would pursue. Ear! Russell, in response to# memorial from ° Liverpool. for an amendment to the Foreign Enlierment act, replies that the act is effectnal for all reasonable purposes and calls for no | amendment. = Soke In the Houte of Gords, on the 14th instant. the Earl of Curlie usked if any official report bai been received of the firing upon the steam- er Ma! et and Jesse, a British vessel, bys Feceral ship-ot-war off the “Bahamas. understood that Mr. Seward had promised an iv quiry and ample reparation if the case was established; but he believed thing more ‘was necessary—namely, that should be ‘these outrages and punish tho:e who were guilty of,them for they were +i ions, of | instructions of the ‘ " Barclenevecnent Hie wisned 8'so to know THE WEEKLY STAR.

If this be true, as is doubtless the case, it will necessitatea change of movement of our troops inthe Valley, It is stated that Longstreet is already on the east side of the Blue Ricge. The victory gained by our cavalry at Bunker Hi}l on Thursday, to which reterence is made in the telegraphic department of to.das’s Ex- press, is due to Fitzhugh Lee’s brigade, which is said to have fought with unsurpassed gal- +antry.

The lady, itis alleged, has been holding communi- cation by letter with parties in the North, and has been giving information calculated to aid the Union cause against rebellion. It is alleged that she gave Gen. Stoneman the information that induced him to make his recent raid; and also that she endeavored to secnre the arrest of Rey.
