The News.
Our columns are filled this morning with interesting intelligence from all quarters.--We are compelled to defer the publication of many extracts and communications.
The leading topic of street conversation since Saturday morning has been the prospect for the
fact of a recognition of the Confederate Government by
England and
France.
We do not know that any official assurance to this effect has been received by the authorities, but a report of this nature is in general circulation.
We refer our readers to the copious extracts from
European journals, which, it will be seen, plainly foreshadow a probable demonstration.
The skirmish at
Mathias' Point, of which we gave an account on Saturday, is confirmed by advices from
Washington.
There is no truth in the rumor that
Hon. A
R. Boteler was wounded in the
Manassas battle.
It was his son.
