NEW YORK, May 6.
The Edinburg arrived this evening from Queenstown, 24th.
The Times of the
24th says, “Advices from America indicate the recent battle had no effect in
creating the hope among the lending houses, that the termination of the war was
at hand. Shipments of gold were
beginning to excite apprehension, and it would surprise no one to hear of a
decree from Washington, prohibiting the export of specie.”
The Times
announces the termination of is correspondence from the Potomac, and says that
the President formally decided that Russell would not be permitted to avail
himself of McClellan’s invitation to accompany the army; that the Federal
Government fears independent criticism; that the hopes were desirous of
carrying with them an historian whom the world would believe; that Russell
would have been received with joy in the rebel camp. But out of scrupulous regard for confidential
trust, and fear of imputation that he would afford them useful information he
returned to England.
LATEST.
Breadstuffs quiet and steady. Provisions very dull.
LONDON, 24th. – Consuls closed 93 7-8a94 for money and
account. American stock dull.
