Captain Gale, is here tin supplies and repairs, but is under stood to have received orders from flag-officer Mer tvm, of tli*- Colorado, to be got ready immedi ately for sea. She carries 10 sixty-eights. 4 thirty-two, and 2 nine-inch pivot-guns, with «00 men, destination not known, but supposed to be Aspmwall. The sloop-of-war Preble, Capt. french, 31 days from Boston, with 6 thirty-twos, 2 sixty cights, 1 forty-eight, and 100 men. has just arrived destination unknown. The Mississippi has taken two small privateers and driven two steamers hack into Mobile. The Sumter is supposed to be south of Suba, and mcn-of-war in search of her. Ido not think we shall again be sent out in “chase” of any thing It is now certain that wo will very soon return to New York, the new boilor bcino finished, and the captain of the lihode Island having seen the orders made out. The Havana papers contain rumors of the surrender of Fort Pickens, purporting to have come from Key West; and another story in circulation is that fort Pickens opened lire upon the navy yard two hours, and then discontinued it. No credence is placed upon these idle reports. There are now two mail Steamers, the Marion and Columbia, from New j lork, here, via Havana. The order of the Secre tary of the Navy, to discharge no more men whose 1 three years are up, has detained several of the ' Broo/.hpi's men on their way to New York ! two aboard of ns. Rumors of small privateer* < «md then- depredations continue; I do not know ■ upon what foundation.

[From the Journal dcs rebate, August 3.J President Lincoln has advanced —in perfect good faith, we have nut the IcjwH. ibuibl—ill hid lttot DIC6- sago, that the uprising of the £oulh was but a re bellion fomented by rlu* lunbiiion of n handful of agitators. If it v»«iv so :If in fact, the mass of the White population of the Mmuh were indifferent to the fndnpt*ndfjK*o of the Confederate States, a few reverses on the field of battle, added to tho enor mous losses which such a war occasions, woutd suf fice to provoke in tho South a reaction on tho hoots of which peace would be undoubtedly made. But whatever confidence wg may have in the loyalty of President Lincoln, wo find it impossible to con sider his assertion fls well founded. Doubtless the armed rising of the South has boon aided and en couraged by leaders; but it is never otherwise in any undertakings to which nations commit thorn selves. And what the leaders ■, whom Mr. Lin coln crimifiates, done t>i this instance cor responds exactly with the public sentiment, with the opinions and passions of the i mnionse ina* jority of the inhabitants of that portion of' the United States. All the private letters received in Europe depict tho South as having but one thought—that of separation, and us desiring it with a feverish energy, which cannot boar discussion. * * * Those letters assert the determination everywhere in tho South to maintain, at every cost, the rupture which has separated those States from their former brethren of the North. It is a reason why hostilities arc not near »termination, however deplorable they may be. . ******* A comparison is then drawn between the present cause of quarrel and conduct of both sections, and the events which drove the thirteen colonies into revolution. The writer then continues: 1 repent that the situations I hnvo just comparod arc wot precisely alike. The North has not yet given the South the legitimate, subjects of COM* plaint which the colonies had in 1774 against their mistress. But that difference matter.-* little, from tho moment the passion for independence took possession of the South. * * * The article concludes with wishes for a speedy solution of our difficulties, and the pacification of both sections of our country. From Liberia. Our correspondent in Monrovia, Liberia, writing on the Ist of July, sends a very interesting resume of affairs as then existing in that portion of the African coast. The Liberian Government had just paid the people the sums rluc—eight dollars *per month—for supporting tho Congo negroes rescued from slavers, and shipped there by the United States Government and the Colonization Society. The living freight taken out by tho United States frigate Niagara had all become useful laborers to the co lonists. Tho Congoes were industrious to a degree, spoke the English language fluently, avoided com munication with the native tribes, and all had be come Christians, The same is snid ; to a great- ex tent. of tho cargoes of Bonita, j Erie, Storm- King y Cora and Nightingale. The negroes taken from the last named vessel wero not treated so well by the Liberian officers as the others, and ono huudred and fifty of them died, chiefly from neglect. In deed. it is alleged thnt many of them were hurled alive. It is said that President Benson would not apprentice them, but left them in the receiving house to the last, in order to have a heavier chargo or. the Government in Washington for their sup port. The native chief of the Gallenos had in duced a Spanish slaver to go into the port of his territory in the way of trade, and then informed the Liberian Government of his arrival, tho naval officers of which made his vessel a prize, the free negroes cutting down the Spanish ensign, and hoist ing the single star banner of the Republic. In this service Captain Mongo, Liberian navy. wa3 drown ed ; but when they had the prize secured a British cruiser ran in and took her from them, denying President Benson's jurisdiction in the Gallenos. Not being able to get her over the bur again, the Eng lishman burned her.— Herald. GENERAL NEWS. There is a priuting establishment in Lon don entitled The Victoria Press. ??
