Owing to the great exposure and terrible de- composition after the battle of Antietam, I was utterly prostrated and very sick. My stomach would not retain medicine. An article called Piantation Bitters, prepared by Dr. Drake, o New York, was prescribed to give me strength and an appetite. To my great surprise, they gave me immediate relief.

The Galway line will go into oferaiion on the !9ib t. The Hibernian will suil on that day for Boston, and the Atlantic ‘will tollow on the Ist ef September. The advocates of the slaveholders’ confed- eracy employ all means ‘or recognition of the Contederate States. The Army and Navy Ga- zette thinks there ts ro gruund for speaking hopetully of the prospects of the Confederat:s, unless Lee is able to reverse their misfortunes by a great victory. in the Houre of Commons on the 23d ultimo, the subject of the Foreign Enlistment act was wbiT0dacod by Cobden, who referred to the proceedings of the Alabama, Florida, and Vir- ports ginia, that they were all built ia British he said was well known. Two iron-clad ships are being built at Liyer- pool for the sume purpose. It was believed that if they were allowed to leave England the Tesuit would be a declaration of war on the part of the American Government. The Amer- icun shipping has aJmost become Valueicss in Consequence of the seizures made by the Con- tederate cruisers. He implored the Govern- ment to take steps to prevent the departure of tucse veesele, and iniormed them that the Amer- ican Government took note of the value of | every vessel! cur-uscd and debited it to her Mei¢sty’s Government. Laird in respor:se taunted Cobden with par- suing a course, which, while it would enabio his friends in the North to get all they wanted, would put a step in England to a legitimate bianch of industry. He accused America of having built ships of war for Russia during the Crimean war, and with raising recruits in Ireland since the outbreak of the present con- fiiet. Palmerston defended the course which the Government had taken, and said he could see oO distinction between sellingarms to Fed- erals and selling shipe to Contederates. Paris papers continue to evince streng war ieeling. The Siecle regards the Russian reply as a defiance. Great irritation is also reported at Vienna. Itis asserted that the French Goy- ernment has resolyed on terms of response, Gortschakoff, with a despatch, would forth- With communicate the same to England and Austria. The latest intelligehee asserts that England, France, and Austria are in active colbmunication and accord. The whole peo- pie are for or against the war for Poland. The Paris correspondent of the London Post 8 ys that public opinion is prepared for war, and the Czar and his advisers think a war probable. New York, August 3.—Polish affairs were debated in both Houses of Parliament on the 2ath nltimo. General dissatisfaction is ex- pressed at the Russian reply to Maimes- bury, The Government is blamed for not pur- suing the policy of non-intervention adopted toward America. The Timesand Herald write in an anti-war strain; and contend that English and French interests in the question are not identical. Latest via Queenstown.
