Gull was returning to the Mississippi River. As the Potomac pu-Netl over the bar below New Orlean , on her way hither, the Brooklyn and the Hart ford passed up from the Uttlf. The steamer Mississippi was at New Orleans, and the Pensacola was either there or returning to that port. Several gun-boats were also passing up. There were rumors in New Orleans of intended military operations which the movements of these vessels (waned to confirm. It will be remembered that as Kirby i Smith's Division of the Rebel army was leaving Kentucky, some of the pickets cap tured an., hone. 1, in the vicinity of Cum , beriand r:'3l,itain KM:, and fifteen other loyal citizens. On Thursday, the Gth, party of loyal men visited the vicinity of Ilockney's Corners, two and a half miles from Big Rockcastle River, and. captured a party of nine men, belonging to different corps of the Nebel army. The captives zero held in custody but a short time, and them were executed upon a troenut far from the same of the outrage perpetrated a short time ago by Kirby Smith's pickets. Prom tips Meiican Weirs, received at Yew Yur-kvta Havana; we - learn that -appear ances indicate that a genernibattitibetween the Mexican and Drench foices would soon occur. General Ferry had arrived at Orizaba, and a large n,nmber of the",Fresch expeditionary corps—upwards of Ja,ooo-7- had been landed at Vera Cruz. The Mexi cans were busily occupied in strengthening the defences of Puebla and the Capital, and the road between the two cities, which was to be desputed inch by inch. There was more unity and enthusiasm displayed by the Mexicans than ever before. Several of the principal reactionary chiefs had given in their adhesion to Juarez, and the detirmiu ation appeared to be general to give the French as much trouble as possible. Mili tary rule has been declared in the States of Puebla, Tlaxcala and Vera Cruz. Sickness continued to exist in the French fleet to a fearful extent. Several deaths had occurred on board the iron-clad frigate Normandie from yellow fever, and among them were three officers. Northerly winds, ,howe,ver,, had set in, and a decrease in the number of deaths was expected. .0. fariLeas gale had; caused great damage to the shipping atYera Cruz and Sacriticdos. A French man-of war (the Chaptal) was driven ashore, end will undoubtedly be lost. A large number of vessels had been lost, including the American bark Sheridan, the American bark Justice S. Long, and the American schooner Mary Emma. Also several Preach, Spanish, English, gexicaa end 11 Lnoverian vessels. Two French transport's were wreekoJ, and another was saved at the ex pense of her masts. Many lives wore lust. All on board an English brig had perished, and of twelve persons on board the French balk Natal' only one was saved. Reports from Kanawha Valley state that General Cur was expected soon to go into winter quarters, and ha.i his advance at Summerville, Nicholas county. At Lewis burg, and the country about, the Rebels were in some force, and would probably leave on the approach of our troops. Gen eral Cox would nut push on to Staunton, as he has not the force and transportation ne cessary fur such an enterprise, and the late ness of the season prevented any advance. We may, however, be able to expel and punish the Irtshwhackers and restore the authority of the loyal Virginia Government in the counties west of the Alleghenies. nor the Spy The offwial canvass of the returns of New York State shows Mr. Seymour's majority to be 10,572. By the steamer Persia, arrived nt New York, we have three days later advices from Europe. She left Liverpool on the Bth in stant and Queenstown on the Oth. Some of the papers were again giving currency to mediation rumors. The Paris correspon dent of the London Times gives one to the effect that "overtures have been or arc to be made by F.eance to the Russian Govern ment with a view to taking into serious con sideration the state of affairs in America; the disastrous effects of Oze civil war on Eu rope generally, amt %vital's.: the time hats not now come for the Powers to make a move toward mediation or recognition of the Confederate States." The Lonim fieraltl also gives currency to a similar rumor.— The depredations of the pirate Alabama were engaging the attention of the Liver pool Chamber of Commerce. A memorial had been prepared on the subject for presen tation to Earl Russell. The intelligence re ceived by the N tva Saotian regarding the action of the Spanish Government in the case of the steamer Blanche is corrubornted. The Spanish authorities, however, appro. bend no difficulty in adjusting the matter satisinetot ily. Via Cape Race we have later foreign ad vices. The British (3 .vernment has dis sented from the pr,,posal of the French Gov ernment to join it in a proffered mediation in American affairs. I. wd Russell says that there is no ground to believe that our Government would accept the proffered me diation. Russia also bad refused to j in France. The grand expedition to open the Missis sippi, under Con. MeClernand, will consist entirely of Western and Northwestern regi ments.

WAR NEWS! ARMY OF POTOMAC. The Rebels yet occupy Prederieksburg--The Surrender of Fredericksburg Demanded. 11zAnQuArtrcas, Nov. :21, 11 I'. M.—Gen. Patrick, Provost Marshal General of the army, this morning crossed the ricer to Fred ericksburg under - a flag a truce, conveying to the civil authorities of that city the fol lowing letter demanding its surrender: IIEADQUIRTERS ARLY OF PuTOMAC, :November 21. To Me Mayor and Common Councils of Fred- cricksburg: GENTLESIM—ender cover of the houses of your city shots have been fired upon the troops of my command. Your mills and manufactories are furnishing provisions and the material for clothing for armed bodies in rebellion against the government of the Gai ted States. Your railroads and other means of transportation are motoring supplies to the depots of such troops. This gondition of things must terminate, and, by direction of Gen. Burnside. I ac cordingly demand the surrender of the city into my hands, as the representative of the Government of the United States, at or bo fore 5. o'clock this afternoon. Failing an . affirmative reply to this dmnanchby the bop.' indicated, siuteen boars will by permitted to elapse fur . the removal from .the city of women and children, threfulsetnl wounded, and aged, &c., which period lurvi;r4eFpired, I shall proceed to shell the town.

I am,. very respectfully, your Wirt, sev't E. V. Soineit, Brevet ithjor General U. S. A.. Commanding Right Grand, Division. On arriving at the opposite side of the river Gen. Patrick was convoyed to the guard house by the military where he was detained until the reply was ready. In the meantime his communication was conveyed to Gen. Longstreet, whose troops are en camped a short distance outside of the city. As the demand was made upon the civil authorities, the Mayor sent an answer, which was evidently written at the dictation of General I,ongstreet, to the effect that the complaints enumerated shall be remedied as far as firing on our pickets and furnish ing supplies and material to the Confeder ate army was concerned, but that the Rebels would dispute the occupying of •the city by the Government forces. lle complained of the shoat space of time allowed fur the re moving of the women and children and sick soldiers. The giving of any more time as requested is now under consideration. Permission has been given to the citizens to run one train from the city, but only fur the conveyance of women nod children. The news to-day received from Jackson shows that he bad rented a house in Win chester fur his *family. Ilia troops are in front . of that city with a regiment of cavalry nt Martinsburg. FALMOUTI!, Nov. 21.—The Rebels still oc cupy Fredericksburg wish a small force to dispute the crossing of the river. Some guns to-day were brought to bear on two ravines on the opposite side of the river, through which the railroad passes. The result has been that no trains have attempted to run since. .The weather is very disagreeable, it hav ing rained in torrents all yesterday after noun—swelling the streams to an unusual height. No news received from the enemy to-day. Stuart's Cavalry at Warrenton Junction— The Confederates make their appearance on the Bull Run Rattle Ground. FAIRTAX STATION, Nov. 21.—Since my first of to-Jay I learn .that a considerable body of Rebel cavalry, claimed to be a part of Major General Stuart's force, and to be 800 strong, reached Warrenton on the day before yesterday, and yesterday proceeded down to WarrantonJunction. Their design scents to be to make a dash at tome portion of our line front Acquia Creek to Freder icksburg, and then trust to their heels to get off scot free. A smaller band of about fifty are said to have been roaming over the Bull Run bat tle-field yesterday, and their scouts or pick ets were last night hovering about Centre ville. StATIOX FAIRFAX STATION, Nov. :21..—We are still without occurrences of public interest and importance in this vicinity or in front of it. As our lines may be extended or contracted, the Rebel pickets fall back or advance upon our retiring footsteps. This is their invari able custom, though the fact that they are doing so now creates the impression on some unreflecting minds around us that they are again near us (about Gaines% ille), in some force. From the best information we have here, I do not believe that there are any regular Rebel troops on this side of the the Rappahannock, except a few cc, tating and bush-whacking squads of cavalry, charged . with the duty of watching our movements and picking up what they can snatch ft om as in a hurry and ton the run.

Sir: I have received, at twenty minutes before five o'clock this afternoon, your com munication of this date. In it you state that under cover of the houses of this town shots have been fired upon the troops of your command, that our mills and manufactories are furnishing provisions and the material for clothes for armed bodies in rebellion against the Government of the United States; that our railroad and other means of transportation are removing supplies to the depots of such troops; that this condition of tnings must terminate; that by command of 3lsjor Gen eral Burnside you demand the surrender of this town into your bands, as the represen tative of the Government of the United Slates, at or before five o'clock this P. M.; that failing an affirmative reply to this demand by the time indicated. sixteen hours will be permitted to elapse for the removal from the town the women and children. the rick, wounded and aged. which period bejng elapsed you will proceed to shell the town. In reply, I have to say that this communi ,catiop,dhi not4al - 141 me irr time to convene the cpuncil for its ponsiderp.tipa prm' furnish a reply by the hour indicated, It was spot to me through thebrands of the commanding officer of the army of the Con federate states, near this town, to whom it wee first delivered by cement of General Patriot, nix...brought it from you, FA I am informed; and I am mathorized by the com mander of cite Confederate army to any that there was no delay in forwarding it through his hands to me. In regard to the matter complained of by you, the firing of shots upon your troops oc curred upon the northern suburbs of the town, and was the act of the military officer commanding the Confederate forces near here, for which matter neither the citizens nor civil authorities of this town are respon sible. In regard to the other matter complained of; I am authorized by the lutter officer to say that the condition of things complained of shall no longer exist—that your troops shall not be fired on from this Sown--•that the mills and manufuetories here will not furnish any further supplies, provisions, or materials for clothing fur the confederate troops—nor will the railroads or other moans of transportation here convey supplies from the town to the depots of said troops out side of the town, The civil authorities of . Fredericksburg have no control; but I am assured by the military authorities of the Confederate army army near here, that nothing will be done to infringe the condition:4 herein named, as to matters within the town; but the latter au thorities inform us that, while their troops will not occupy the town, they will not per mit yours to du so. You must be aware that there will not be mare than three or four hours - of daylight within the sixteen hours given by you fur the removal of the sick and wounded, the women and children, the aged infirm from this place; and I have to inform you that while there is no railroad transportation accessible to ti.e town, because of the inter ruption thereof by your batteries, all other moons of transportation within the town are so limited si as to render the removal of the clues of persons spoken of, within the time indicated, an utter impossibility. I have convened the ,Co.uncil which will remain in session awaiting any further communication you may have to make. Very respectfully, your obed't serv't. M. SLatroKrv.a, Mayor. Dist night was a very buisy time in Fredericksburg, removing the inhabitants. The military authorities were also not idle, as daylight this morning revealed to view a line of earthworks to the right end tear of the town, the result of last night's labor. The artillery is now being placed in the most favorable positions, while the encamp ments, which were within reach of the enemy's guns, are being moved further back from the river. There are very apparent strong reasons for nut opening on the oity today, unless forced to do so by the enemy. The Rebels lance just fired a few shots,l but no response yas been made. The Latest.
