The steanipr City of reins nas arrived irora Liverpool, bringing papers to the l'Jth ulr. They contain the text t the circular note issued by the Marquij de Lavalette to the French diplomatic ageuts at foreign popts. After showing that the recent changes in Europe are favorable to Frunce, the circular proceeds as follows : The coalition of the three Northern courts is broken up, the new principle ruliner in Kurope is the liberty ot alliances. Aggrandized Prussia secures the independence of Germany. France will not feel dispoi-ed to oppose or to regret the work of assimulation which has just b-eu accomplished, and to subordinate to leelings of iealousy the principles of nationalities, wnich represent and pndess a regard lor the people. By imitating Franc, Germany haj taken a step which draws her nearer to us. Notwil bstanding her unrellectiug susceptibilities, Italy has equally drawn nearer to us in ideas, principles, and iu teiests. The Sentemb'.-r Convention, which secures the I'ontiacal interests, will be loyally carried out. Second-class naval forces are arriving in the Baltic and Mediterranean, which assure the lioerty of those seas. Austria, re lieved of her Unban uiul German learnm.'., and no longer emplovim; ner lorces in barren rival neo, but concentrating them upon the east of Km ope, still represents thirty-live millions of souls, whom no hostile interests separate from France. By what singular reaction of the pafct upon the future shall public opinion see, not the allies, hut the enemies ot France, in nations liberated irom a past that was hostile to us, and now called to ecter upon a new exist ence, guided by principles which are our own, and animated by the sentiments of progress which form the pucitic link in society in Europe, more strongly constituted ami more homoge neous, by better defined territorial divisions, is a guarantee for the peace of the continent, aad is neither a peril Dor an injury to our nutiou." The circular proceeds to demonstrate that the Emperor was right in accepting the part of mediator; on the contrary, he would have dis regarded hishifrli responsibility of violating the neutrality promised and proclaimed, had he puddenly plunged into the risk ot a great war. one of those wais which arouse the hatred of a race, and in which whole nations meet in con flict. "The Government," continues the circu lar, "comprehends the annexations dictated by the absolute necessity of uniting to a coun try populations having the same man ners and the same national spirit. It can only desire those territorial aegruudizement which would not affect Its priucipul cohesion, but must always labor for it moral and political aggran dizement, using its influences on behalf of the great interests of civilization. Nevertheless, the results of the late war teach an important les son, snd show tbf necessity which exists for the defense of our territory, and for perfecting, without delay, our military onrauizatiou. The nation'will not fail in thb duty, which cannot be regarded as a threat by any.'' In conclusion, the circular considers the politi cal horizon to be free from any threatening contingencies, and expresses belief in a lasting peace. The document commanded grpat attention and very general approval. Its author-hip is attributed to the Emperor. Both the Times and News agree in the opinion that Napoleon har bors no evil thoughts against the independence of Belgium or Switzerland. The semi-official North German Gazette, of Berlin, says: "The words in reference to mili tary reorganization for the defense of the French territory must not be considered as a menace. The Prussian people are every day becoming more persuaded that a good understanding between Prussia and France is the sure way of solving European questions in the sense of a national progress and civilization." There was a slight shock of earthquake in Paris and in Devonshire, England, n the 14th of September. The battle in Camlia was fought between 30,000 Turks and 40,000 Cretan im-urgente, and lasted eight houis, when the Turks remained masters of the field. The Cretans were badly armed, and had six hundred killed. The King of Greece, in a speech to the Minis ters of the foreign powers, expressed his sym pathy with the Christian population of Turkey, and says he cannot prevent his subjects from giving them aid. The speech caused great agi tation amongst the Greeks. Agricultural Fair at St, Louis, Mo. kr Louis, October 1.

I'lus son was dis missed Irom tne service by a coun martial boiuo eighteen months ago. and was restored and pro moted by Andrew Johnson about tho timo that Mr Beecher first became a champion ot 'MyPohc' The restoration ol young Huuchur a1 most created a mutiny in the regiment from which ho had boon expelled and some compromise had to bo eilectod to avert the scandal. Whether tho Junior Bieolior remains in tne army, or wnotuer tie was allowed to resign, we are not intormod. "Hie taots a'.ove mentioned woro quite notorious among army otllcors last year, and also among tho wlBe men ot the Congregational Church. Whether the restoration of ihe son explains Mr. Itooclui's anxiety tor tho the restoration of the South, we cannot afiirm. It is at least untortunute that tn two things should have come to light about the same time." Colonel Beecher entered the regular armv in 18fi1. during the Secretaryship of Simon Cameron, in tlio first year of Mr Lincoln's administration. His record since then I herewith enclose, reoucating its publication as conspicuously as the ULju.it charged were made. In a private note accompanying the record.

Ricfmond Va., October 1 There is not a little speculation Indulged neie in regard to the meeting ot the United States Circuit Court in this city to moirow, and the probabilities of tbe trial of Jeff.

The general oninlou seems to be that no Court will bo held, and ol course no trial. 1 he Court aajonrnca in June last until itie llrst luesdavin October, but inbscouentlv it nnnennuff that no lnai authonty cxistco lor such an adjournment, an act ot Congress wa procured to be pus-ed authorizing such adjournment.

Mayor McMichael Eulogizss the Women of the War. The Congressional Platform Triumph- antly Sustainrd.y' SrEciAL pnoNOQHAPnio BtrouT Toa tub even- I0 TELKOBAPU I Las-t evening was waiieiirate.d at the Acalemy of Music a K'and series of popular meetings, under the auspices of the Union Leauue. which are destined to make their mark in the pending canvas in this city and State. The spacious building was literally jammed with as select an audience as has ever be n congregated within its walls. And we have grave doubts it there was ever assembled therein a multitude who were so wildly enthusiastic, and so heartily in earnest in the support of a great and growing cause. At least one-half of the avemblage con sisted ot ladies, who did not permit the sterner sex to outdo them in their tribates to the elo quence and loyalty or one of Philadelphia's most popular public men. When his Honor the Mayor appeared upon the platform, accompanied by the orator of the evening, the enthusiasm reached its highest pitch, and broke forth in the waving of hats and handkerchiefs and long-continued cheers. When the applause had somewhat subsided, Major McMichael, who hud been selected as the Chairman of the evening, came forward and addressed the audience in these words: The Union League of this cily, profoundly impressed with a seuse of grutitude for the dis tinguished services rendered to our common country duriusr the late war by loyal women (applause), aud recognizing to its fullest extent toe value of their counsel and co operation in this most important juncture, have arranged a scries ot meetings in this spacious and commo dious editlce, expressly wiln the view to their convenience and accommodation. (Applause.) And I esteem it a high privilege, ladies, as the presiding oilicer upon this occasion, to thanir. you in Dehall of my fellow-tnembers for your presence here, and the encouragement which that presence bring9 with it. (Applause.) Recalling, as we all do most willingly, the en thusiasm imparted to our meetings in 1804,1 by your attendance and tho increased zeal with which you inspired us in ihe great patriotic work in which you aud we were then mutually cnaaced. we feel that our present canvass vigorous and eiiectivo as we have labored to make it, would be incomplete did you not share In it, and that the erand victory which we are confident we shall win (cheers), would bo shorn of a portion of its glory it we aid not oiler suit able acknowledgment of tho great aid which you havo contributed towards its achievement. From the hour that our flag was lowered at Fort Sumter, amid the gloom and indignation of an outraged people, to the hour in which that same flag was thrown atraiu to the breeze from that historic fortress, amid the exultant "bouts of a triumphant nation, and in the long interval which has since followed, our Union League all Union Leagues, all kindred associations, all right-minded individuals of our sex, have been constant debtors to yours. Not alone tor vour grievous self-sacrifices; not alone tor your "een tle ministrations to the sick, wounded, and d.vim;: not alone for your unceasing acts of be neficence; not alone lor the tendernete with which you have soothed those who have mourned, and comforted those who have weDf not alone tor the bright and cheerful example you set beiore us in our hours ot trial and des pondency, but also, and perhaps above all ior your sublime taith in, aud yourstendy unl swerving, Intlewible devotion to, the great prin ciples that underlaid the contest; and for that and the devotion that nerved the timid, strength ened the bold, and urged forward the dann" among ourselves, I am sure there is not a man in this vast assembly who does not at this moment ieel his heart cheered and his arm strengthened by the expression which now beams in your eyes and kindles in your faces. I thank von, ladies; welcome, thrice welcome I Ladies nnd Gentlemen: -As the representative of the Union T.encniiv mv hnJno.. v. a is not to make a speech myself, but to occupy me cuuir wuue one innnitely better qualified than I am, addresses you.
