All Americans here were. grieved and shocked beyond expression ipon receiving the news of the disastrous bat- tle of Bull run. They can but feel grief and annoyance, for the cnemies of the Union herd,and in England cannot conceal their exuitation, ‘The ministerial journals of both countries herald the news of the defyat with ostentation. Tho London Post heads its column, ‘Signal Defeat of the Northern Troops,” white the other London journals that are given up ‘to’the cause of the rebels in like manner display the news, . It is to be feared that an immediate attempt with be made to bring about the recognition of the Southern confederacy. Nothing but the greatest care on the part of our ambas- sadors here and at London will prevent such @ misfortune. To tho grief felt by all Americans here, is added a feel” ing of deep annoyance and hatred of those accursed jour- mala that drove and hounded on our veteran and wise Commander Chief, General Reott, to a forward Movement cre he was read Thoso pettifogeing journalists who, by their jll-timed tries of “ On te Rich- mond,” forced the minds of the pnblic as well the administration, should be tarred and feathered as traitors, What, in the name of heaven, could possess our military leaders to go bolt »gaingt batteries and un- told numbers of a hidden enemy? ffcers in the Freneh army, of rank and distinction, with whom I haye con. versed upon the subject of ‘the defeat, say that our generals were mad to attack when they did; that, hay- ing the command of the sea, being able to land troops wherever they chose, they should have kept a large force in front of the rebols until a still Jarger force might have been conveyed to some portion of the rebel States, from. whence it vould have marched on the enemy, thus placed Detween two fire The officers 1 speak of say that where the moral efleet of a defeat was to be eo great on either side, this should have been done, even if months had passed inactively by:for that army which, by its im. prudent advance, was defeated. But, said I, you must take into consideration that a large portion of the press was urging on the administration, and that loud cries were made for the removal of Genora! Scott, because his policy was such as you describe. ‘That was treason,” was the reply of the brave and experien military man with whom I was conversing, “you shon!d have at once stopped such publication, A commander-in- chief should be at liberty to act according to his judgment, and when journalists differ with him, they should bear in mind that editing newspapers and commanding armic® @re diffvreut things.” The lesson is a cruel one. He will now no doubt employ as officers military men, and not lawyers anc merchants. I must refer again to Major Kearney, whose name I sce nowhere in your lists of officers. Why, in the name o¢ common sense, of ordinary prudence, are such out and out soldiers, such experienced military men, over- looked, ‘The example of a dashing, brave man, a through” ‘out sollier like Major Kearney, is incalculable upon th® men. There is here in Paris, at this moment, General @. W. Morgan, Iate Ambassador at Lisbon, an experienced offcer, who fought, as will be remembered; with groat distinction in Mexico; like Major Kearney, he was specially mentioned in the Commander-in-Chief’s despatches to government for dis tinguished services. He is now here, not well. in health, it ts truc, but all who are acquainted with General Mor- gan are aware that he would ac an finportant com mand were it offered him, without consideration of health, One such officer is worth a hundred untried, unskilful mon—who may be brave and dovoted, but who cannot sway the soliier ax does a general thut has gained his ¢x perience where he had braved death for his country, The soldiers soon learn to appreciate such commanders, aud stick by them to the last. It is evident that, spite of the exaltation felt by your enemies hero, a feeling of distrust of the power of U North is gaining ground. The energy di: yed after defeat shows that the people of t) prth are now fairly roused and in earnest, and» wholesome dread of their power is still lingering in the mins of the English government especially, It {s expected a most tre mendous eitort will be made to redectu the lost battle, and those who were sneering at the bloodless skirmishes between the Northern and rebel forces are hushed. Th feel that adreadful biow has been struck, and that a mighty nation is in arms—one that tv harass or annoy were dangerous. It is understood that all hopes of an ad justment are at an end, and that, until the defeatat Butt ran has been avenged, the North will listen to naught save a desire to punish those trailors who have brought 90 great a misfortune upon them. It is evident that the Northern troops fight admirably, as they were successful for so many hours against whelming odds. You willflud by the perusal of the London Times’ spe- cial correspondent's letters to his journal that he did more to stop the rout at Bull run than any person present; Qone were so cool or collected, and twas he that first suggesied that some of the officers should attempt to stop the runaways. He was shot at, threatened and ran all sorts of risks, but throvgh it all he wasa hero, This we are bound to believe, as he insists upon it bimsclf. I suppose that he lost his trumpeter in the melee, and 50 was forced to blow the blast of self-praise, which fills a column of the J'imes. Tt is a remarkable circumstance that for some days past we have heard no “axe upon the subject of secession from the Paris semi-offisial organs ~'Ihey had yegeived ihe mot d'ordre to write upon the subject of the “undoubted right that the Southerners had to leave tho Union,” and [suppose received orders to discontinne, Bat I fear that ut ts but the Tull before the tempest. All the harm that could be done has been accompiished by those unfair and pro- judiced articles; you may rest assured that many a mind here that was disposed to look upon the secession of the South in its true light—namely, that of a rebeltion—now think otherwise, and claim that the Southerners didright. The public mind here is noes lo see France recognise the Southern confederacy. I know from actual oser- vation and from intercourse with all the leading nalisis of Paris, Any one who asserts the contrar oramt of the real state of the minds of the people . © journals of Paris are all against the North, with the exception of the Gpiiicne’ Nationate and the Siecle. latter, being the republican. organ, bas always favored the Union. The first named journal is unusually well informed as regards Amorican matters, It asserts that the battle of Bull run was not a decisive one; that, on the contrary, it will but stimulate the North to such mighty military efforts as will surely crush the Southern forces, and expresses a bope that men of experience may now be chosen to head on the brave troops of the North. The following extract from the Freeman's Journal, of Dublin, will prove that in Troland the nature of the resources of the North are well appreciated:— “The torrible disasters that befel the Presi of America puts an end to ail hope of an ad the quarrel between the Northern and Sout Wn States antil some almost annihi'ating slarighter wil have aveng- ed one party and put an end to all hopes of reorganization by the other, Prestige and military honor have been lost together in the disastrous flight from Bull run, This is keenly felt in the Northern States, and a sensitively vain People, like the Americans, will not be content until they shall have redeemed both. ‘They will swarm Hike bees to the scene of conflict, and, by their very numbers and reck- lesaness, blot out the memory of the most shameful fight of armed men recorded in the annals of warfare We are gratifled to find the doubts we expressed as to the rumor. ed death of Thomas Francis Meagher are contirmed.

The grandson of Bernadotte, Charles XV., King of Swe- den, with his son Oscar, by the side of the “nephew of my uncle,” is this day to review a chosen body of troops in the Champ de Mara. The circumstance is only another of the strange features of the era in which we live. It used to be said that of all the grandeur of the Bonapartist empire not a wreck was left to point a moral or adorn a tale but the crown of Sweden encircling the temples of a French general of the grand army. But now, after the lapse of nearly half a contury, the descendant of the Great Emperor leads the legious of France, and, with al- most more than his uncle’s power, hokts the worid in his grasp, while Sweden’s monarch falls into that relative position properly due to the origin of his power. As side by side the Emperor and King ride along the liues of that army—under the eagles of which each dates his patent of nobilitythe multitude of spectators cannot fail to find in the memory of the past some guiding light to the future ‘A Bonaparte and Bernadotte, surronnded by the splendid chivalry of France, is a great fact, and in the present critical state of Europe may well be looked upon asa gign of the times.” Father Jacques, who had received the confession of the excommunicated Cavour, has returned to Turin from his citation to Rome.

This article is of conside interest as showing the state of public opinion om the subject just ‘now, and] presume, therefore, that a brief abstract of it will not bo unacceptable to your readers, The reports from our manufacturing districts of the reaction of the civil war in America on our export trade to tho United States aro already, it says, “extremely alarm- ing; and a glance at tbeilistiof exporta from the port of ) Fremen discloses a fearful view of the reduetion in the shipments of the industrial productions of Germany to the tranfatiantic markets. In the second quarter of 1561 (April to June) the decrease as compared to 1860 wos:— In ribbons, 47 per cent; cotton fabrics, 68 por cent, silk and half silk manufactures, 45 per_copt; broad. cloths, 52 per cent; other woollen and half woollen goo's, 69 per cent; mircellancous, 40 per cont; and osegars, about 96 fer cent, It is true that this diminution does not entirely arise from the disturbed state of North America; in part it may be traced to the introduction of «new tariff with a higher scale of duties, which caused an inerense of im- ports to take place previous to its being carried into effect, and u decrease immediately after. But for all that it fs undentalle that the domestic warfare in whieh the United States are now engoged paralyzes commerce and speculation, and that im particular the capital wasted in loans and expenses for military purposes must restrict the ‘consumption of other objects. ‘The, offect of — these’ .clreumstances, which extends morg especially to articles of luxtry, cannot be of short duration. ‘the absorption of capital must lead to an exhaustion ¢f tue material resources, which will react for a long time in reducing the ecensumpticn.

His design probably was to take the vessel close to the shore at some appropriate place, set it on fire and abandon it. With this view he had loaded a boat on deck with the captain's valuables and other property. STATEMENT OF ONE OF THE CREW.
