Voluntary oOrteSpOndence 18 sollolted from all parte One world, and espeoMily from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will be Pan French and English Politics. The British Parliament commenced its 'annual session on the 7‘ll inst., and the French Legislative body is to reassemble this day. NAPOLEON was to open the bu siness, as usual, in person, with all the pomp, pride, and circumstance" which the Parisians so much admire. What a theatrical manager he would have made I his miss en scene would have been astonish ing! His speech, it is already known, will be pacific, and M. FoULD, his Minister of Finance, is prepared to propose certain reductions in the national expenditure, among which will be a diminished charge for the army. Still, though a military establishment of 400,000 men is one-third less than a standing army of 600,000 men, it is a large number to maintain in "these piping times of peace." In the outlay for naval purposes, no reduction is to be looked for, because NAPOLEON'S avowed purpose is to place France upon an equality, at least, with England—once Queen of the Seas. Already, indeed, the iron-clads of France arc equal in number and superior in force to those of England. We may add that, reports from rebeldom notwithstand ing, it is impossible to believe that Naro- LEON'S policy towards the United States will be different in 1865 to what it has been since our war was_ begun. The show of neutrality, at least, will be preserved, but it is impossible that NAPOLEON, at the head of one of the least responsible autocracies the, world ever saw, possibly can have any sympathy with the free republican institutions of this country. Queen VrcroaLs was not to open her Parliament in person. The Ministerial document, commonly known as " The Queen's Speech "—though it is read, and not spoken, and though her Majesty never, by any chance, writes a single line of it -was read, no doubt, by the Chancellor, Lord WEarntrav, a genial, and at times what might be called a jolly old gentleman. It is known already that the Speech, which dimly shadows forth the policy of the Queen's responsible advisers, will be emi nently pacific, and it may be expected, from speeches made and letters written by vari ous members of the Administration during the recess, that the policy of neutrality will be very positively re-aftrmed, coupled, it may be, with the stereotyped regret at the continuance of the war in this country. Mr. GLADSTONE ought to be in good spirits, for, though he has reduced the taxes every year since he became Chancel lor of the Exchequer, he can report that the revenue exceeds the expenditure. In 1865 he will have a surplus of about $l5,- 900,000, and is supposed to entertain the idea of still further reducing such fiscal burthcns as fall heaviest upon the mass of the population. This he will do in prefe rence to reducing the Income Tax, an im post which, if levied upon just principles, is one of the fairest that can be imposed. Its great defect in England, as with us, is that it is levied without any distinction be tween income and property—between un certain and certain means of living. Could Mr. -GLADSTONE have his own way, he would cheerfully have the naval and military expenditure reduced to that of 1850, and England would save $50,000,000 per annum by that reduc tion. But England's excellent ally and nearest neighbor, NaPotEoN, is supposed 'to sleep with one eye open, watching for the unprepared moment when he can pounce upon England with a terrible in vading army and avenge the defeat of Wa terloo and the personal insults to . the Ro dolph of his line at St. Helena. It seems absurd, to a degree, to bestow - serious con sideration upon such -an almost impossible contingency, but British statesmen seem to believe in it, and the British people have to pay largely for the credulity and the fears of their rulers. Besides, it gives an excuse for maintaining naval and military defences at vast cost, and of thereby pro viding for the cadets of the high aristocratic families. After all, a -reduction of $15,- 000,000 in the national expenditures is what Mr. GLAnsrostie as a financier, may well be proud of. Up to this time, the Palmerston Govern ment have not indicated what their public policy is to be during the Session which commenced a week ago. Most probably, Lord PALMERSTON has no determined policy for 1865, but would be remarkably well pleased if Parliament were to confine its action to passing Mr. GLADsTONE's finan cial measures and voting the money-bills, - without parley or delay. But that terrible JOHN BRIGHT, whose republicanism has obtained him the distinction of Queen VscronlA's personal antipathy, threatens to disturb the Palmerstonian equanimity by commencing a grave agitation for Parliamentary Reform, whioh ',would give the right of voting to fine millions instead of to the one million: of electors as at pre sent. He may not take much by his mo tion. but he can annoy and very effectually damage the Queen's Ministry. The present Parliament assembled in June, 1859. The Derby. Ministry had pro posed Parliamentary Reform, were defeated by the Opposition, and had to resign, Lord PALITERSTON and his friends, who succeeded them, publicly promising a Reform Bill. This promise has not been fulfilled to this day, though the measure has become more and more necessary, year after year. Let us see what the Ministerial strength Is, in the House - of Commons, at this moment. In 1859, the Tory Administration was ovathrown by a majority of 13 - the vdtes being 323 to 310. In 1861, the Tories in the House of Commons numbered 303, the Peelites 14, the Whigs 240, and the Radi cals 94. This gave the Whigs a decided majority. In 1802, there were 307 Conser vatives, 12 Peelites, 238 Whigs, and 9G Radicals. In 1863, the numbers were 312 Conservatives, 11 Peelites, 234 Whigs, and 95 Radicals. In 1804, 313 Conserva tives, 13 Peelites, 234 Whigs, and 96 Radicals. In 1865, the count runs thus : Conservatives 317, Peelites 13, Whigs 231, end Radicals 95. The result is that, since the present Parliament first met, the Con servatives have gained 30 and lost 12, making a net gain of 18, while the number of the Whigs has had a decline of 9, and the Radicals have remained stationary. Therefore, were a - division to take place upon an important question, the Palmer ston Administration must be defeated. We should be sorry if this - defeat were to occur, for the new Derby Ministry would be far less fair and friendly to the United States than Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues have latterly been. • A rumor has crept into the English pa pers that a demand is to be made, during the - present Seasion, for an increase ot $150,000 per annum to the yearly allow ance of $500,000 now paid for the support of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and that this augmentation will be justified on the ground of the expense thrown upon - the Prince and his wife by being obliged to hold Levees alld Drawing-rooms, and give dinners, balls, and concerts, during the prolonged withdrawal of Queen VICTORIA. from social life in the metropolis. No doubt Mr. BRIGHT will oppose this money irant, with his accustomed uncourtier-like and honest bluntness. Considering that, including her revenue from 'the Duchy of .Lancaster, Queen VICTORIA'S allowance is $2,000,00 0 a year, of which she does not - now spend one-half, it may be . suggested that the expense which her son and daugh ter-in-law are at, in performing part of her' duty, ought to,be paid out of her own in , c ome, and not thrown upon the people. The p immense sum voted , to the Queen,by ar ligaelit, out of which to support the dig say and defray the expenses of her station, Was not intended I have money hoarded out of it. The late Prince ALBERT, trhose ?Annual allowance of $1,50,000 was about; doubled by the income of the many offices heaped upon him, saved $5,000,000 In the twenty-two• Tears of his married life, and one miser is surely sufficient in one family. Mr. Bittoirr, should the increased grant to the Prinem of Wales be proposed, will, have something to say, no doubt, upon this sub ject. If pressed, it cannot fail to make Queen VICTORIA and her son extremely unpopular, TIIII LEDGER looks well in its new type, better, we think, than it ever did. Its pro. prietor is keeping faithfully the promises he made to the public. GEN. GRANTS ARMY. ALL QUIET AT TEE EBONT. NO IIiNEDIATE PROSPECT OF A RATTLE. THE REBEL POSITION NOT MATERIALLY CHANCED FALSE E11M032.8-AN BXEOTTTION. ANTICIPATED ATTACK ON OUR CENTRE. The Rebels Reported to be Massing around Petersburg —Mr. C. Bdosusilds.- 03Teriel Correcondersse or The Press. 1 CITY POINT, Va., Feb. 11,1885 To-day we have the interesting news from the front that.all is quiet. Affairs remain in atatn guo. We hold every inch of ground gained In the late advance, and cannot be dislodged. The passage of Hatcher's Run was a great victory for us. This stream, though not wide, was deep, and If the enemy had fortified its banks, we could only have effected a passage with great loss of life and bard fighting. That they did not do, so can only be attributed to the olrowastatee' that they did not expect at to advand6 at this incle ment season of the year. As tt was, our operations were seriously retarded by the mud. Still, we au. complished everything that was anticipated at the first, and more than many of us anticipated. Having gone so far, we shall probably rest on our laurels a little while, till the sun shines brightly out and changes all the quagmires into clouds of dust. There seems to be no immediate prospect of a battle. The rebels can force ria to an engagement whenever they feel so Wattled, but they don't seem ter Se inellae at present. They cannot drive us from our position on the left. According to past analogy, they would naturally endeavor to mass and pierce our centre, for our lice is of Immense length. Their demonstration against our works opposite Meade Station, on Wednesday, might be considered as a preliminary reconnoissance baying such an object in view; but wherever they come they will find ns strong enough to meet them. We hold this import ant advantage ; in lengthening our line ne have not been compelled to weaken it materially. There has been no marked change in the disposition of the rebel army. They have withdrawn no troops from their left wing to strengthen their right, which indi. cater that Richmond will not be imperilled to secure Petersburg from danger. And, In fact, there is not the slightest military reason why it should, while there are a thousand political reasons which will make the enemy tenacious of their capital to the last. To-day there have been-reports afloat that the sth Corps was about to return to its old camp, but the report has neither sense nor truth In It.- Yesterday at noon a private of the 32d Maine Rd glinent was executed by shooting, for the usual crime, desertion. The ceremony took pleat) at Han cock Station; and, according to military etiquette, there was a grand display and countermarching of regiments, with gaily-fluttering pennants, upon the occasion. The wretched man had deserted from his regiment some six menthe ago, preferring to aban don the joys and sorrows of a soldier's life for the sake of burning "partisan revenge " For mix months he has kept himself out of our lines, living In caves and deserted bomb-proofs, and foraging for Sustenance upon the hen roosts and oora•vrlba of adjacent rebel farms. But the keen breath of win ter drove him forth from his burrow, and he came back a few weeks ago and gave himself into the hands ofjnetice. His execution was identical in all respects [with others that have taken plaoe and been described in these despatches, and a detailed account would have no interest for your readers. ANTICIPATED ATTACK ON OUR OBNTE3--THE BE. BBI.S REPORTED TO BB MAIMING AROUND PS. TBIBIBURG. Orry Pouts', Vs.., Feb. 12, 1865. From the - reports of deserters, and from other sources of Information equally reliable. It would seem that General Lee is contemplating an attack on our centre, and is making, or has made, the ne cessary-dispositions for such a movement: I wrote you yesterday that if the enemy ventured any of movement at all, it would be most likely di rected against the centre of oar lines. The tempta tion to make the effort is very great, for, with our lines at present so extended, the centre would naturally seem to be the weakest point, and if the enemy Could gain any advantage here he might claim a decisive victory. We know from ex perience that it Is a favorite sipeeleS of tactics with Lee to mass upon our centre, and endeavor to pierce it. In the present campaign this seems to be the tinly plan of operations remaining to the rebel commander. The Army Of the Potomao can no longer be flanked, and if It le to be dislodged It can only be by cutting It in two. Accordingly, Lee Is reported to be messing all his available troops around Petersburg, with the view of making an attack. The scream of the looomo tivowl3isties on the Sonthslde road can be dia. tinotly heard in our camps, and they have made the night unusually hideous of late. There is evi dently something astir. It Is accepted here as a certainty that the enemy will speedily attack no, and, likely enough, the point of attack may be somewhere in the vicinity of Xeade's Station, where, the late feigned assault was made. Such an enterprise may seem rather bold and imeardous :or the rebel army, but Lee is in a critical position, and must make some such desperate push. before long, unless he designs to evacuate Peters• burg. Whatever his designs, ho will disoovlr that they have been anticipated and prepared for. GEL LEE'S NEW COMMAND. DESERTERS' STATEMENTS OF THE REBEL LOSSES.

Of course, these figures largely exceed the truth, especially in regard to the number frozen to death, but It ii probable that many met their death in this manner.
