What Diplomats Think Of The Rebellion

We have it from good authority that Mr. Hulseman, the Minister from Austria to this country, has stated that every one of the foreign representatives at Washington had come to the conclusion that the days of the rebellion were numbered, and that the power of the Federal Government would be soon re-established in all the now seceded States, and moreover, that the foreign Ministers had sent dispatches to their respective Governments to this affect.  In a few weeks we shall, therefore, probably see a great change in the tone of the foreign official journals in regard to our present war. – {N.
