TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1862, THE WAR. &ESBKAL Pope’s address to Ms soldtors will bo toad with interest by everybody. He has boon for the last two weeks engaged in picking out the green and water-sogged timbers, and shoving up the oharred butt-ends and cinders of tho groat fire of patriotism that had been soattered and was gra dually dying out in tho Army of Virginia, and now with his patriotib address ho fans vigorously the enkindling end amalgamating flames of pa ‘xiotism, military ardor, and true human glory; and presently wo shall see a conflagration which shall threaten with the direst destruction every habitation in the South upon which the benign shadows of the American flag do not rest quietly and gracefully. Pope talks like a general—ho first makes the acquaintance of his officers and men; he tells them what work he has been di rected to execute, and how' he intends to execute it, and then explains, what support is ne cessary from them,- as his soldiers. Hotter than air this, he tells his children to disoard such naughty words as “ strong positions,” “ lines of retreat,” and “ bases of supplies,’ ’ and intimates that these things oorno proporly under the oaro of the Cabinet and the commanding generals. Under such an organization, and suoh a promising young commander-in-chief, tho columns of tho crafty Bigel, the indomitab’e Banks, and tho retioent McDowell will certainly move on to many a glo rious b ittlo-fio’d, tho names of which they will have honorably insoribed upon their banners. Already, as wo loam from tho rebel newspapers, tho army of Virginia has been moving for ten days past, and theroisnowa strong division occupying Cu’poper, ■with a threatening look toward Qordonsville, whioh will prove to be the key-point for future move monte. TIIE NEWS. We publish to-day what purports to be a cor rected list of tho Federal ofiicors oapturod by the rebels in the recent battles on the Chiokahominy. Tho Riohinond .7: 'nijmrer is responsible for the list, whlbh we know to be inaorroet in a number of oases. Gen. Meade is in thisoity; Gen. Sumner is stilt in oommand of his corps d'armee, and we know of no Gen. Itankin, said to have boon taken prisoner. Our news from Tennessee and the Southwest is highly important this morning. There is considera ble roason to hepe that Gen. Curtis is all right, and that he is driving tho enemy out of Arkansas. Morgan, in Tennessee, la rivaling the great Ashby in his successful guerilla tricks. With a handful of men, he threatens Frankfort, Ky., and. Nashville, Tenn., according to rumor., . The York town letter of the London Times 1 cor respondent; written under date of June 13, con tains the following remark touching the works at that plaoe: “But all this is child’s work, and a military man condo nothing but shrug his shoulders at such works, and wonder how it is possible that a general commending bravo troops could lie before such paltry fortifioations so many weeks. European generals would have stormed them without any of the preparation usual in suoh cases, and not re quired more than a day or two. The whole thing I saw in Yorktown I cannot designate otherwise than by saying that it is a horriblo muddle, a dis graoe to every art of-military engineering.” By the arrival of the steamer Hazo at New York, from Harrison’s Bar yesterday morning, wo have some interesting intelligence from the army of the Potomac. Commodore Wilkes had arrived in his flag-ship, and had taken oommand of the flotilla in tho James river. The artillery attacks of the rebels on our vessels aro reiterated daily. The army appropriation law provides for the comfort of discharged soldiers, who may ar rivo in the principal cities of tho United States so disabled by disease or wounds received in the service as to bo onablo to proceed to their homes, and for forwarding destitute soldiers to their homes. Two millions of dollars are to he applied for this purpose, and expended under the direction' of tho President of the United States. Goverhor Yates, in his soul-stirring letter to the President, which wo publish this morning, says Illinois is alive with the bout of the drum, and re sounding with the tread of . new recruits. Let but Mr. Lincoln “ put his foot dowa firmly”'once more, and be will stamp “invincible armies out of tho earth,” and crush the rebellion instanter. General Isaiah Seymour, memorable for shar ing with General Anderson in the defence of Fort Sumpter, has been promoted, by General MoClollan, to the command of the division of the captured General MoOall. No appointment could be more judioious, or more riohly merited. It could only be improved by the President giving the rank of Major General along with it.,. Fboh Southern papers of the 10 th instant we have an unpleasant rumor that Van Dorn has re taken the city of Baton llougo, hitherto tho capital of Louisiana. The rebels olaim to have taken fif teen hundred prisoners. The marriage of her Royal Highness Princess Alioe with Prinoo Louis, of Hesse, took place on the Ist instant, privately, at Osborne. The cere mony was performed by the Archbishop of York, in the unavoidable absence of, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Gen. 0. M. Mitchell, the astronomer, is vehe mently accused of grave misconduct while in com mand in North Alabama. The Louisville Journal charges him with acts “ disgraceful to humanity,” •'deeds of cruelty and of guilt, the bare narration of whioh makes the heart siok,” &c. The Cin cinnati Commercial gives a qualified endorsement to these imputations, and adds that “ Gon. Buell, on arriving at Huntsville, expressed his disapproba tion of Gen. Mitchell’s proceedings in saoh strong terms that the latter resigned.” We presume this is incorrect- Den. Mitchell probably gave up his command, not his commission. It is very singular that neither of these journals gives any hint at the nature of. Gen. Mitchell’s offence, save that it was Tory heinous. Ok the Erench'Moxican question, the Mss saper Franco* Americain, whioh is the organ of the liberal Breech interests of this country, says, in its last issue : ‘‘New light has been shed on the Mexican question. Notwithstanding the reticence of the Government; the exclusion of foreign journals from the mails; the severe censorship over the press, with regard to the news of the cheok before Puebla, and tho rotrfpt of the army to Orizaba, tho Government has received more favorable news than the lying reports of interested parties. “ The Government has abandoned the idea of transforming Mexico into a monarchy, and has re fused to further tho intrigue of Almonte. This important modification of tho policy of the Govern ment is manifestly due to the effortß of M. Billauit In the Corps Leghiatif in answer to the eloquent charges of M. Jules Favro, The same sheet farther states that Messrs. Jurien de la Graviure and Porey are authorized to treat vrith President Juarez. •From General Hunter’s department we have a batok of interesting orders and reports. Comman der Rhind communicates an interesting account of the capture of a camp of the rebels recently on: ■Wadmelan Sound, S, C , to Com. Dupont.

In the Senate of the United States yesterday, resolutions expressing thanks to Commodoro Foote were passed. Tijp bill for the admission of West Virginia into the Union coming up, Mr. Sumner’s amendment preventing involuntary servitude, except in punish ment for crime, was rejected. An amendment wa3 offered by Ml. Lane, and adopted, that all slaves who shall, on the 4th of July next, be under ten years of'age, shall be freed when twenty-one, and that all between the age of ten and twenty-one Shall he freed when twenty-five years of age. The bill was at length passed without further modifica tion. Mr. Chandler called np a bill relative to the oath Of allogianoe, which was so amended as to require nil persons prosecuting claims against the Govern ment to take the oath. It was then passed. A message was received from the President, transmitting the draft of a bill to compensate any State that, shall' emancipate its slaves. The bill Was referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Grimes called up the bill to revive the aot3 Of 1812 and 1813, and issue letters of marque and reprisal against the vessels of Southern rebels. In the House, ihe Senate resolution providing for an adjournment on Wednesday watf passed. Tha bill making’an appropriation to pay sundry Civil expenses was passed.,, A biil from the Committee of Ways and Means imposing an additional tax of oho cent per pound on sugar, was passed. This bill does not apply to the sugar manufactured from sorghum. /A bill was introduced to reduce the rates of mileage of members of Congress fifty per oentum, to he computed by the moat direct route? With-, out notion upon the matter, the House adjourned. Among the persistent efforts to embir rass tho operations of the Government, tho combined assault upon Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of War, is the most unjust and acri monious. Ha has been misrepresented with malignant industry, and a load call is made for his removal on various grounds. It may not be agreeable to the leaders in this intrigue to slate that Secretary Stanton possesses the fulUconfldenco of the President, but such is, nevertheless, the fact. His industry, courage, and extraordinary energy, have not only im pressed the Chief Magistrate, but have con vinced members of Congress, and all others, that he is a sincere and earnest patriot. Occu pying the most onerous and exacting position, it was impossible that he should not sometimes give offence; but the records will prove that he has taken no step which was not intended to strengthen the cause of the country. It has been alleged that he is an impulsive man, and that some of bis measures have been tyrannical and harsh; but it should be remembered to his credit that he. has had - to deal with stupen dous and novel complications, not the least of which were the malign efforts of the active and secret sympathizers with Secession. Among, others, wo have regretted that in the perform ance of his duty ho has sometimes seemed to treat the conductors of loyal newspapers with undue severity, but, as in the case of the patriotic editor of the Baltimore Jlmerican, The Secretary has never failed to make prompt reparation on a full statement of the: facts. He has infused new enorgy and order into the Department of War, and if he has not been able to please the rebels and those who sympathize with them, he has undoubtedly satisfied the loyal men that his heart is wholly with his country, and that he is willing to make any sacrifice to bring her victorious out of this great strugglo for her existence.. In this tribute to Secretary Stanton we only pur, too tho policy that has governed us at all times, viz: to sustain the President and his military and civil agents. Wo have enough on our hands in the great work of putting down the rebellion without sowing dissension among the loyal people by fomenting distrust of our public servants. If we, wbo are anxious to crush out treason, weaken the hands of the men at the head of affairs and withhold our confidence, the sequel must be disaster and defeat. We believe that Mr. Stanton, like General McClellan, can have no higher ambition than to do his best to push on the war and to bring it to a speedy termi nation. In the following short paragraph, from the last number of the Germantown Telegraph, we have a better answer to the attacks upon Secretary Stanton than could be found in a column of eulogistic vindica tion: “Some of the journals of Philadelphia evinoe very little disoretion in their attacks upon the Go vernment for not performing Impossibilities. They forget that the War Department has some little other business upon its hands than the army in the peninsula. They do not consider that there are other armies in many distant quarters, whose wants have te be attended to; and who are equally entitled to the watchfulness of the Government. Admit ting as we do, most emphatically, that it is all important that the rebel army before Richmond should be destroyed, and that hotbed of treason possessed by. the Government of the Union, yet, was it nothing to send reinforcements to the extent of forty thousand of our best troops within four weeks, and to have a powerful flotilla of gunboats at the very spot and at the very moment of all others most essential to tho safety of the army ?” The right man in the right place is desira ble at all times, but especially when , the horrors of war require the exercise of judg ment, self-reliance, firmness, and patriotism. General Butler, at New Orleans, is showing himsolf the proper man for the place and time, | and significantly so by his treatment of special J personal cases of rebellion. We recorded a few of these yesterday. A ruffian, named Andrews, « respectable” enough to be inmemberahip with the Louisiana Club, a pet institution of New Orleans, exhi bited to his associates there a crucifix which was made, he said, from the bones of a Yankee I soldier—fashioned so that it might be worn as an ornament of female attire. General Butler has committed .him for two years’ imprison ment and hard labor on'Ship Island, with a pe remptory provision that, during this period, he shall hold no written or verbal communica tion with any one, except through tho head quarters of the United States Military Govern ment of New Orleansi Will Gregory or I Walsh, Husserl or Palmerston, declare that this punishment is an insult to humanity and the character of the Anglo-Saxon race 1 It is a fact, unknown to Palmerston, that« the so-called Southern Confederacy” is chiefly Anglo-Saxon, while the Union States are mainly Anglo-Celtic in descent. ,A gallant gentleman, Lieutenant De Kay, who was in Europe when Rebellion roared her hydra head, immediately returned home and took up arms for the defence of the Union and the Constitution which had raised this coun try to a proud position among the nations of the earth. Several weeks ago, as was de scribed by our attentive correspondent “Mag nolia,” he was fired at from behind abash and severely wounded. After lingering for a month lie died. He was interred at New Or leans, with military honors, on tho 27th June. One of his friends, an officer of the United : . States Engineers, writes: • “We requested yesterday the use of a house of God in which to show to his mortal remains our respect. It is granted, but how ? After moving through collections of street cars, crowded with la dies wearing Secession badges and passively smiling, and cheerful crowds studiously collected to insult tho dead, we arrived at the house of the Lord. We find it thrown open like a stable, naif by military compulsion. Wo enter and find the galleries and the most prominent places occupied by a rabble and negroes, a collection such as never defiled a church before/’ Ono Mrs. Piuxurs, who ranks among the self-sly!ed “ladies” of New Orleans,placed herself on the balcony of her house while Lieut. De Kay*s funeral was passing, laughed and mocked at it, and when G-eneral Butlee afcked whether she had thus misconductod her- self, saucily answered that she was in good spirits that day. Had this been a first offence this women would have been simply sent to the calaboose, to join company with othei* uu sexed disorderlies. -But she was practiced in her audacity, having been once imprisoned for her traitorous proclivities and acts at Washington, and released by the clemency of the Government, and having been found train ing her children to spit upon officers of the United States, for which act of one of those children both her husband and herself apo logized, and were forgiven,” and General Bother's righteous decision was that, “as an uncommon, had, and dangerous wo man, s’imng up strife and inclining to riot,” she should be sent to Ship Island, for close confinement, within propsr limits there, till further orders, with the allowance of one soldier’s ration per day, and means of cooking the same, with permission to take one female servant with her, but without the privilege of holding verbal or written commu nication with any one, except through Gen. Betler’s office. Surely, even if a Confede rate jury were held on this woman, the unani mous verdict would be "served her right!” There is yet a third case, which incidentally illustrates the Confederate feeling as to tkis woman I’inT.T.irs. A scoundrel named Fidel Keller, purchased an articulated human skeleton, which had belonged to a medical student, and exhibited it in his bookstore window, in a public place in New Orleans, largely labelled “ OWckahominy,” with the purpose of inducing the populace to believe that the bones were those of a United States soldier slain in that battle. In this case, Gen. Butler's decision was that Keller should have .two years’ hard labor and imprisonment at Ship Island—being allowed to communi cate with nobody there except the above named Mrs. Phillips. It may be presumed that Keller would have calmly submitted to his regular punishment of imprisonment and hard labor,hut the exception that he might com municate with such a virago as Mrs. Phillips was too much. It is the last straw that breaks the camel’s hack ! When the Order was : issued to Keller- he so earnestly protested against so much of it as associated him with “that woman ” (as he called hefj) that Gen. Butler revoked it, in pity. It would have ; been a righteous addition to the punishment : of Keller and Amdrews, if the skeleton la ' helled “ Cbsckakominy ’’ had been lmug up in ; the dungeon of the former, and the cross made of human bones suspended ; round the neck of ■ the latter during the full term of imprisonment. Even as it is, however, New Orleans has re ceived a‘significaut : lesson in the . punishment of tbis trio of unwortlries. ; ,Peteesoss’; Counterfeit Detector. The; semi-monthly number for July will be issued this morning It chronicles 44 new counterfeits issued within the last month—being at the rate of three for every two days! ■ Two of these are on Pennsyl vania banks, one oil a hank in Delaware, and one ‘on the Farmers’ and Mecljjpics’ Bank in Camden. LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” . Washington, July 14,1862. - President Lincoln is not willing to allow tho Border-State men to ..return to their constitu ents without giving them'another evidonco of his patriotic sincerity in making the proposi tion for gradual emancipation, with compensa tion to loyal owners, including a thorough plan of colonization. Accordingly, on Saturday last, ho invited the Senators and Represen- tatives from the Border States to attend at the Presidential mansion, where he read them an address, in which he implored them to ask such legislation at the hands of Congress as would enable him to carry his plan into effect, and at the same time to strengthen them before their own. people. It is said that the President was greatly affected during the interview, and reminded them that he was extremely anxious that they should take advantage of his liberal offer before'lt was too late. They were assured that inasmuch as the Administration was resolved to prose cute the war at all hazards, the time must soon arrive when the slaves of every description In the Border States would depreciate or run. ' away, and that oven loyal men could not save this description of property, in the event of a general stampede or a con tinuance of the conflict. ■ Tho result was that on Saturday evening a number oi Sena-.; tors and Representatives from these Common wealths held a meeting to take into considera tion tho Pi esident’s suggestions. A vory ani mated discussion transpired. Several who were expected to support the plan of the Pre sident bitterly opposed it, but I. am happy to say that others who had not heretofore favor ed it gave it their sanction. Among thoso ready to advocate it I hear the names of Hon. Goo. P. Fisher, of Delaware ; Hon. Edwin H. YYebster, and Hon. John W. Crisfiold, of Maryland ; Senator John S. Henderson, and Representatives FrancisP. Blair, Jr.;and John W. Nooll, of Missouri, Casey, of Kentucky, Clements and Maynard, of Tennessee, and Whaley and Brown, of Virginia. At the meeting of those gentlemen, a committee was appointed to draft an answer to tho President, and yesterday afternoon he invited a second consultation with them, which took place about six o’clock. A bill will probably be offered to-day, clothing the President with power to make such arrangements as will se cure itbe slaves of loyal men, and making an appropriation for their compensation should any of the slaves States, still in the Union, agree to tho policy of gradual emancipa tion. Although a vory large amount of mo- ney will he required. to give efficiency to this proposition, a little reflection will convince any ono that it is better to submit to such an outlay than to run the hazard of driving the Border States into the rebellion, thus protracting and intensifying hostilities; and I am not without hope that when the ap peal is made it will be promptly and favorably responded to by Senators and Representatives from the Free States. We owe this to the patriots in Congress who now .advocate gra dual emancipation in the Border States. A number of them will return to their homes,- and take the stump in its favor. As one of the most prominent of these gentle men said to me yesterday, “the time has arrived when we must assume po sition on this grave question. Our troubles have not been produced by the President, but by the rebels. We must choose between him and his Administration and the tyranny of Jefferson Davis. It is now -clear that this alternative will be presented to every loyal man in the South, and all who oppose or em barrass Mr. Lincoln will irresistibly be swept into tho vortex of the rebellion. ' If we do not accept his tender, and the war goes on, as it must, our slaves will be taken from us as those, of the rebels are. I regard,” he added, “ the advice of the President as eminently disinterested and patriotic. He might have left ms to ourselves, but he nof only sent his army to our aid, and so saved us from falling into the hands of the common enemy, but now proposes to rescue us from a fato which nothing hut his patriotic interposi tion could have prevented—viz: the loss or forfeiture of the slaves of loyal men. For my part, I intend to go into my district, and to i fight for his policy and his Administration, in- j I eluding all the measures of the present Con- I gressj no matter what the consequences may j be to myself.” Let us bear in mind that the 1 cost of this war in blood and trsasnro can only be charged upon the heads of the traitors, and if it is vigorously prosecuted, and ends in the vindication of the Constitution and in the overthrow of slavery, without , injuring loyal men, it will prove to he a great blessing to our posterity-and to mankind. 1 But not a moment must be lost in military j movements and military preparations. If vo lunteers do not come forward last enough, we must resort to a draft. Every hour’s delay will help the traitors. With their railroads and conscription acts, they may hurry forward I a new army. Public meetings should he held in Philadelphia, and throughout the State, as they are now being held in New York and j New England. Every man can do good in such a crisis as this, and none more than the rich and influential. In New York ami Bos- i ton .there is an utter ignoring of party, i and the feeling produced by these meetings in those cities is rapidly increasing the num ber of volunteers and recruits. Everett, Lor ing, Winthrop, in the one, and Opdyke, Ban croft, and Aster, in the other, take part in these great uprisings. Why not let Philadel phia follow the example? It is'stated that after the retreat of Banks in the valley, the Philadelphia Ilomo Guard were offered to the Government for a period ot three-months.- If we bad this fine corps here now, it could gar rison, and thus enable the President'to send the well trained forces now around us to the I forward column of Pope or McClellan. | The Republican caucus, on Saturday even ing last, by a very large vote, adopted the pa triotic platform of Hon. Schuyler Colfax,, of Indiana. You have published the resolution which constitutes this platform. Is there any citizen who cares for his country, who prays for the preservation of the Union, that cannot . stand upon this comprehensive, tolerant, and constitutional platform? Henceforth let us hear no charges againstthe Republican party as con tracted and sectional. This solemn act is the key-note of an immediate union among all Northern men, and the surest sign in these dark times that the Republic cannot fail. It is upon the basis of this noble proffer that Mr. I Colfax will ho re-elected, and that numbers of other Republicans will be returned to the next House of Representatives.

THE OBBTETTCTIOHS IN JAMES BITES, Baltimore, J uly 14. —The American of this after noon saya: We learn from Mr. Wm. Airey, of this city, who escaped from Bichmond on Tuesday last, that prior to the recent battles the rebel troops in aud around that city were estimated at from 217,000 to 220,000 men! Large reinforcements from the direction of Petersburg had been arriving for the previous ten days and nights, which were said to be from the coast, hut he could not ascertain whether any portion of them were of Beaure gard's army. They arrived l>y railroad, and were marched around tlie city during the night, toward Hano ver Court House. fc General Beauregard had been in Bichmond for several weeks, Buffering from a severe attack of fever. He was still at the Spottswood House, confined to his room, when Mr. Airey left. Generals McCall and Reynolds are neither of them wounded. After remaining for a day at the Spottswood House they were taken to the officers* prison. A gunboat on the plan of the Merrimac, though much smaller, is rapidly approaching completion atßichmond, though great difficulty was experienced in obtaining iron for her armor. The obstructions iu the James river were "considerably weakened by tho recent freshets. One of the sunken vessels had so swung around that the Teaser was able to pass through, and was soon after captured. Fort [Barling has been greatly strengthened, and the batteries have been iron clad. . A : - whole division of the army had crossed the Jamas river on a pontoon bridge, to assist in its defence against any land force. The bridges destroyed by . General McClellan in the vicinity of Hanover Court House have not been recon structed. The forces of General Jackson bad moved off. It was thought they bad gone towards Fredericksburg, and it was said he would again strike a blow in the valley. Tho Maryland rebel Tfgiments with him, under Generals Lowe and Bradley Johnsoa, had suffered terribly in the fights with Fremont and Shields. Bradley Johnson's re giment had been cut down from 700 to 200 effective men* The greatest confidence was felt at Bichmond among the rebels in their ability to destroy McClellan's army end tkcce who had previously sent their families away, from the city were bringing them back again . The Union men were, hovever, confident of the final capture of the city. The cannon captured during the recent battles were all brought into Bichmond. They'numbered about 23 pieces, some of them being howitzers, and three army rifled gunk ( they were all light pieces,'and, with the ex ception of the howitzers and an English gun, were sent to tbe foundry to ba recast, the rebels having no shells tb fit rifled cannon. Hot a afnglelargo piece had been captured, and much surprise was expressed that McClellan had succeeded in getting them all off. The falling back of the rebel army towards Bichmond had caused considerable dissatisfaction, as it was given out that McClellan would be attacked in his presentposi tfon; Sak.Francisco, July s—Arrived steamer Orizaba .from Panama ; ship Covington, from Hong Hong. • Yesterday was celebrated throughout the State with unprecedented manifestations of a patriotic enthusiasm.

The steamship City of Hew York, which left Liverpool on # the2dinat, and Queenstown on the 3d, arrived at Hew York yesterday morning. A telegraphic summary of her news has been published, but her malls are two days later than those received by the Great Eastern. By this arrival we have tbe text of Lord Palmerston's latest declaration against mediation in American affairs. Zn the House of Common?, June 39, Mr. Hopwood in quired whether the British Government intended to take any Bteps to endeavor to put an end to the civil war in America, and Lord Falmeraton replied as follows: Sherman (Bep.) Sfmmons (Bop.) Ten Eyck (Bep.) Wade (Bep.) Wilkinson (Bep.) WiUey (XT.) Wilson (B) Mass. Starke (Bern.) Sumner (Rep.) Trumbull (Bep,) Wil3on (u.) Mo.

We know that the privations in those districts are great, and also that those who suffer them have endured them with the most heroic fortitude and patience—(hear, hear]—thus doing the greatest pos sible credit to their understanding and intelligence. They know that the sufferings which they endure have not resulted from any bad legislation or any misconduct on the part of the Government of the , country. ■. They know they are caused by rircuni-. . stances in other countries over which 'we have no control. -[Hear, hear.) _Her Majesty’s Government would be most happy if it were in their power to do anything which, would be likelr to afford relief to those unhappy classes .of tho population. But lam sure tha House will see: that any thing like interference with tha war now going on would only aggravate still more the sufferings of those now under privation. ' (Hear ] . With respect to mediation and good offices, there is no doubt whatever that both her Government and the - Government of the Emperor of the French would be de lighted to avail themselves of any opportunity that ap peared to. offer* a fair prospect that such a step would be attended with success. But in the present state of the contest, while thetwoparties seem animated with the most vehement anger and resentment against each other,-Jaw afraid that any proposal of that kind would not he well timed, and would be sure to meet with objections on both sides. If, however, at any time, a different state of . things should arise »nd a fair opening appear for any step which might bo likely to meet with tbe acquiescence of tha two partieß, it would be not only our duty to offer our services, but would afford us the greatest -possibleplea sure to do so. [Hear, hear.)” . - In the House of Lords, on the Ist instant, Lord ' Brougham offered an explanation in regard to his re marks of tbe previous evening upon American affairs. He said that he wished briefly, asa fellow-Gferistiao, to remonstrate with tho people of the United States on the course of the civil war aud its dreadful attendants. Gloss it over as they might, the war, if prolonged, would be at tended with resultß fatal to the character of the Ameri can people, HEETING IN MANCHESTER IN FAVOR OP MEPfAftOSV Mr. Hopwood, who Questioned Lord Palmerston, has been backed in Manchester, by a public meet’ng in favor ef mediation, of which tho following report is given ,in the Manchester Examiner * “Hr.

Mr. Hopwood having made himself un popular in'reference to Lord John Bussell’s reform bill, some of his expressions in the House of Commons on that occasion were reprinted aud posted onths walls of the town, calling'attention to; his having t spoken of workiue men as ‘mere/machines,’ »creatures of im *o.. ... “Mr. James Aspin, of the firm or Aapiu & Ward, cotton manufacturers, was elected to preside,' and called upon Mr. .- Mortimer Griroshaw to move tha. first resolution ,as follows: ‘That in consequence of. the prostration of commerce in this .country, . and the /wids-spread destitution arising therefrom, this mjmting is:of ..opinion that the time has ar- tho Government of..

[Disapprobation.) He argued that ihe question Ehould not be construed into a party ques tion because of its introduction by Mr, Hopwood, against Whom a feeling had been created by placard, and which feeling was disgraceful; but; that.. if the proposition wsb unsuitable to them, it remained for- them to adopt a better. **The resolutions were put to the meeting, and the amendment was carried, with about fifty dissentients, amid leud cheering. l ’ = v • Tbe marriage of the Princess Alice with Prince LouU. of Besae, eldest son cf tbe Prince Charles of Hesse, took place shortly before :12- o’clock July 1- *; The Court C£r» cttlare ays: . t..

The grounds on which Lord Hassell, on behalf of tha. British Government, has refused to restore this vessel to the United States Government, are fully stated in the dipidmatic correspondence which has been laid before Parliament. After consulting the law advisers of the Crown, bis Lordship held that, though the act of rescue by the captain,"steward, and cook when their ship waa being conducted to Philadelphia for adjudication waa punishable in the prize courts of America, it was no offence against the municipal law of England. A neutral country has no obligation and no jurisdiction, to aid In ei forcing the right of a belligerent to capture. ; The law of war confers upon the belligerent alone the power of enforcing its Jight. The Government of tins • country could no more seize and surrender the vessel in its port than it could surrender a foreign criminal The law of England, as well as the law of nations, forbids the Executive Government from taking away Gie ship jfrom its legal.owners., Mr. Adams, the united States Minister, relied much, upon her Majesty’s proclamation, -warning'Britiah subjects against breaking the blockade, and declaring that they mußt take the legal consequence* ;of their acts.— Times; 2c?. , - From California# Additional from Europe.
