Bae et —t 5 ut pointedly. has stricken from the ‘consuiat and Bin Dill all appropriation for @ diplomatic officer Maximilian’s court. The New Yorx Hxratp, in the paragraph which we copied on Saturday, exults in this decision, and in the following words it slgnitcanuy refers to the policy of which this is at once an indication and a part:—‘“It re- mains, thereforo, simply to be seen mane ey (the Powers of Europe) or we are to control on this continent. ‘Wo shall soon be ready to test this question.”” The opportune time to which the Heratp refors is, of course, the “suppression of the rebellion’ and the re- union of the American States—am achievement which it has confidently predicted as certain to be accomplished within every “sixty” or “ninety” days of the last four years. As untaught as the child that clutches at the moon, ag expectantly now as on yesternight, the Hwarp still presumes on the coveted prize.

Their only hope they begin to per- ceive is in the magnanimity of the United States govern- ment, and they are now endoavoring to excite the sym- pathy of their former fellow countrymen. The evidence which has satisfled the rebels of the fallacy of their hope of foreign recognition is embraced in the re- plies of the European Powers to the manifesto and resolu- tions of the rebel Congress, lately addressed to the Euro- pean sovercigns through Mason, Slidell and Dudley Mann. We have already published the letter of therebel com- missioners and the replies thereto by several of the European ministers. We republish them this morning in regular form, in order to show the correctness of tho deductions of the rebels in regard to the fallacy of tho hopes hitherto entertained. Thoir main hope of recognition has depended hitherto upon France, who, it bas been supposed, would, through the complications arising and likely to arise from the invasion of Mexico by Maximilian, be more likely to hasten rocognition than any of the other Pow- ers of Europe, The reply of the French Minister to the rebel manifesto has never been published; but the tone of the Paris Temps and Journal des Dibats, supposed to reflect the policy of the French Emperor, indicated that no recognition need be expected of France, and rejoiced, in an editorial published about the time of the presenta- tion of the manifesto, at the prospect of an early re-estab- ment of the Union and the extinction of ery. The following is the letter of Messrs. Slidell and Mason, and the several replies which have been made public. The Rebel Manifesto. THE REBELS ENDEAVORING TO PUT THEMSELVES RIGHT BEFORE THE EUROPEAN NATIONS. Pani, Noy. 11, 1864. Sm—The undersicned, Commissioners of tho Coniode- rate States of America, in pursuance of the tnstructions of their government, have the honor to present to your Excellency a copy of a manifesto issued by the Congress of said States, with the approval of the President, and of which the President was requosted to cause copies to be transmitted to the'r commissioners abroad, to the end that the same might be by them laid beforo foreign gov- ernments. They at the sune time communicate a copy presumption and folly for France and England to disre- gard it, To affect to do so would be hypocrisy. That they are watohing these reiterated manifestations of im- patient purpose {s not to be doubted. England would, indeed, bo delighted if sho were fairly rid of Canada; but the people of her American provinces have lately given such proofs of their attachment that she can- not, in decency, cast them away; nor would her pride submit t0 have thom wrested from her by violence. Napoleon, too, may wish he had not attempted the settlement of ‘Mexico. Taking bold advantage of ‘American distractions, he stretched his long arm across the Aulantic, and plucked down from the Presidential seat the ruler of a neighboring repatlle, upset the go- yernment, erected a throne, and placed upon it a atran- gor from inland Europe, who never saw America until sont hither to play at king. In so doing he bade deflance to the declared policy and purpose of both the great North American Powers, and insulted them in their presence and to their face. He accomplished what he would have had neither the ability to execute nor the ig, 3 to attempt, but for the circumstances of which he availed himself, In the presence of our own great exigency, the Confederate States scarce gave attention to the scencs in Mexico, Seward, in his, treatment of the subject, commenced with blustor and ended with dissimulation; but his peoplo havo taken no pains to conccal that lust of empire which {athe animating principte of their present war, which, invigorated by hate, has already fastened its cov- etous desires upon Canada and Mexico. Napoleon knows that North of the Potomac the mob rules; and the mob has declared, and Congress has registered the decree, that it now dishonors Maximilian, and will heroafter dethrone him. While such are the exhibitions in America touching the Mexican question, Napoleon shows som» significant signs that he is not an unconcerned spectator, nor destined to remain a passive water upon events, Ho is throwing an unwonted mystery over his thoughts and purposes; and mystery in rulers is the covert in which the lion couches, and from which he springs upon his prey. It has ever beon Napoleon’s custom, on his New Year's day receptions, to indicate ‘his policy and to signify his views. But last New Year the oracle was dumb. To the United Stat's Charge “he expressed a f-w words of rogret at the death of Mr. Dayton, but sald nothing what- ever about our affairs in general.” So writes tho cor- respondent of the New Yor« Hiratn. Obviously, Na- oleon has secrets of which Scward is not to be the Kooper. Ho has possible purposes which are not to be thwarted by disclosure. He is revolving plans which aro not to be embarraased by commitments. His discretion is not to bo hampered or restrained by pledges. There is action iu this silnce. There is Perrone in this ac. If England and France judge the American problem by tho ordinary standards of human experience, any solict- tude they may foel as the effect on their political in- terests of the reunion of the American States—on the assumption that such rounion were poasible—would be a solicitude based upon reasons which a historian would consider adequato and potential. ‘Tho hate of the United States for both of those governments is not disguised. Opportunity is all that the mad mob of that country are praying for. The people of tho Confederate States, though animated by no such hate, of the preamble and resolutions of Gougress accompany- ing said manifesto. ‘The dispositions, principles and purposes by which the Confoderat: ~tates have beeu and are still animated are branches of their government, and with a clearness whic! leaves no room for comment or expianation. In a few from interference with their internal peace and pros perity, and to be left in the undisturbed enjoyment of | 47¢ conscious that they have been much wronged ly of their inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit | ose Powers. We havo seen @ government set up by of happiness, which their common ancestry declared to } force of arms in the city of Mexico, by Franco, and wo have seen it recognized on the instant, by England, al- though the constitutional government was still defended by organized armies, and was supreme in vast sections of the country. And while we have witnessed such swift haste in recognizing a domination thus violently and imperfectly established, the Confederate States, an alliance of recognized sovere'gnties, after exercising all the functions of separate government for nearly four years, and maintaining an authority, bestowed by the people, against all tho attempts of a mighty enemy to overthrow it, are (0 this day denied audicnce as a Power among the nations of the earth! We are not insensible to this and other wrongs, although we have abandoned our- selves to no indecont resentments. But experience has shown that an i continued, and especially if it prove seriously detrimen'al, quickly ripens into hate when rea- son for forbearance ceases, and when opportunity for ro- tallation is presented. ‘The rulers of Western Europe are sufficiently conver- sant with the lessons of history to know, alse, that tho device go freely proclaimed by the organs of the wild mob, of which Lincoln is for the time the head, as the expedient by which they expect to obliterate from the minds of the people of the American States the memory of present bitterness, is borrowed from those who so suc- cessfully omployed it in former ages. Among the popu- lar leaders of Greece and Rome, the sovereign remedy for civil convulsions and composer of intestine feuds was foreign war. Such foreign war is already ordained by those who dream of a conquered South or reconstructed Union. The parties to be attacked are also selected and proclaimed, England and France, against whom those threats are impatiently fulminated, will judge for them- ‘The undersigned beg leave most respectfully to invite ufederate States, and will merely remark in addition that, since the issuing of that manifesto, the war has continued to be waged by our enemies with even increased ferocity—a more signal disregard of all the rules of civiliz-d warfare, and more wanton violation of the obligation of international law. The undersigned, having thus complied with the instructiong..of their government, beg to assure your Excellency of the distinguished’ consideration With which they have the honor to be, your Excel obedient servants.

Guytiemmn—I have had the honor to receive the copy, Foamox Ornicr, Nov. which you have sent me, of the manifesto issued by the ee : ms ciparsain ar the Confed ar we Sate Congress of the so-called Confed rate States of America. | might be expected against them, in the event supposed, for Hor Majesty's dra a ll de ply lament the pro- | the argument, to be possible. ‘They will judge whether tracted nature of the struggle between the Northern and | their course, now and heretofore, towards the confede- aaa ‘States of the formerly united republic of North merica, Great Britain has, since 1783, remained, with the ex- coption of a short ‘period, counected by’ friendly rela- tions with both the Northern and Southern States. Since the commencement of the civil war, which broke out in 1861, her Majesty's governinent have continued to entertain sentiments of friendship equally for the North and for the South. Of the causes of the rupture her Ma- Jjesty's government have never presumed to judge. They deplored the commencement of this sanguinary struggle, and anxiously look forward to the period of ita termination. In the meantime they aro convinced that L~ 4 dost, consult the interests of peace and respect the rights of all parties by observing a strict and im neutrality. Such neutrality hor Majesty has faithfully maintained and RUSSELL. racy, best constitutes a claim upon our forbearance or an ‘appeal to our resentments. ‘he policy of England and France on the American uestion has not been more unjust to us than opposed to ir own interesis and tranquillity. It is obvious that there can be no balance of er in North America except in the separation of the Anglo-American States, Reunite those States, and Canada and Mexico, by whom- soever governed or patronized, would be at once over- awed, and their independence exist only by sufferance, Bound to them in a n@nner not to be disregarded, Eng- land and France would find their peace s spended on the caprice of a turbulent population; and in the event of war would discover themselves compelled to conduct it ona battle ground whore all the advantages would be against them, and to roach which would have to cross the seas. Oonfiding in the ability of the Confede- rate States to maintain their indepondence, the European Powers bave hitherto given their care only to escaping from all present complications aud inconvenvences, But the very boasts of our enemy, if believed, will tend to rouge them to their duty. They woul long have selfishly conceded to weakness the rights and advantages which they have selfishly de- nied to our strength. ey do not wish us juered. They do not wish the American States reunited. fe say this, because their obvious mterests say so, and because, with nations, interest is the rule of action. The ret to recognize Maximilian sounds the alarm to Napoleon. Napoleon's mystery is an indication that the alarm is taken. The boasts of the enemy are olo- quent advocates of our cause, The cotton fami! #0 long spoken of, hag come at last. In short, the drama grows in inte: plot thickens and the our- tain is gel the closing scenes, Nothing is needed iiant denouement, but continued hero- will continue to mainiain I request you, gentlemen, to accept, REPLY OF THE POPE. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, was employed by the rebel Commissioners to convey the manifesto to the _ overnment, and an answer from Cardinal Anto- nel daved at Rome, Dec. 2, 1864, was some time after received. After acknowledging the receipt of the letter of the Confederate Commissiones, aud the manifesto of the Congress of the Confederate States, Cardinal Antonelli says:—“The sentiments expressed in the mani! tending as they do to the cessation of the most bi war which still rages in your country, and to putting an end to the disasters which accompany it, by proceeding to negotiations for peace, being entirely in accordance with the ayer and character of the august head of the Catholic Church, I do not hesitate a moment in bringing ft to the notice of the Holy Father. to insure a His who has been most di aMicted by | ism, fortitude, unity and devotion on the of the thoaocounts of the frightful carnage of this obstinate | Confederate people, Let us stand steadfastly tn the line of duty.

For these and many other injuries the plaintiff claims damages against each of the defendants in the gum of $1,000,000, and prays for the judgment of the court, Mr. David Dudley Field, on the part of the defendants, moved to strike out portions of the complaint as scanda- lous, impertinent, irrelevant and redundant, and to make more definite and certain five several particulars. Judge Ingraham held that a groat portion of the com- plaint consisted of matters which should not be alleged in the pleadings. It should contain only a statement of the cause of action and the facts which show the mode in which the conspiracy was carried out. To retain this irrelevant matter would be to embarrass the trial and prevent the plaintiif from obtaining tho object of his action. Among tho defendants in this extraordinary complaint we noticed the names of Goorge D. Cragin, President of the New York Commercial Association; Edward Hinckin, Vice President of do. ; Jesse Hoyt, Archibald Baxter, J. M. Fiske, Augustus E.

Resolutions in favor of these en- terprises were attached to the report. Ir. Ruaaies alluded to the results which would follow the adoption of the second resolution relative to a ship canal to the West. While he could not but favor such a vast enterprise, Which was due to the civilization of the age and the necessities of commerce, he could not over look the importance of Lake Erie.

REBEL DEUIONS AND NORTHERN OREDITORS—THE NEW BANK- RUIT BILL. A report was next read from the Committee on Arbi- tration, signed by Messrs. WalterS. Griiths, A. W. Brad- ford, 8. B. Chittenden and F.S Lathrop, on the new bankruptcy bill now before Con, A portion of the report, which was lengthy, was devoted to a reply to the Bostou Board of Trade, which had ey pressed some disap- proval of the provisions of the bill, and the residue to feee comments upon it. The report closed as follows :-— After full consideration, your committee came to the conclusion that the bill in question is adapted to protect the interests of creditors in cases of bankruptcy, whether voluntary or compulsory, more thoroughly and effec- tively than similar laws over euacted in this country or elsewhere. ‘That while the clause roferring to tho benefits of a dis- charge to those who have in any way aided or abetted the rebellion may, perhaps, be amended so as more effectively to accomplish the end designed, still tho bill, in its present form, is of the greatest possible interest and value—seeuring, as it does, to the loyal croditors of discharged debtors in the revolted States ready and sure means, when the authority of the government is restor: 4, of compelling the —— of all the property of the debtors towards the discharge of their jigations. It is obvious that much time must elapse before the rights of Northern creditors can be enforoed in the local courts of those where, in consequence of the rebellion, all judicial fanctions 'haye beon long suspended, ‘and where, even after law shall be again administered, local prejudices may interpose formi barriers in favor of the resident debtor against the non-resident croditor, where by the interposition of Congress the dishon debtor would have ample time and opportunity to place hia assets beyond the reach of his creditors. If this bill becomes a law, however, it will by ite provisions extend the power of the Court of Bankruptcy over the entire territory of the Union, and thus an adequate remedy through the national tribunals, Though admit- Ung of improvement in several respects, the bill in its general outline and provisions seems drawn with signal pe! ‘and with a wise regard alike for the true interests of ‘and creditor, and your committee regard its passage as eminently desirable.
