No oxs can fail to appreciate, in the present atti tude of affairs at the various theatres of war, the. success of our attempts at reorganization, and the advantageous dispositions made of our armies for active operations during the coming year. Every regiment, brigade, and division has been strengthen ed,- and put in a condition to meet the foe at any time. It is encouraging to notice every evidenee:of . .. activity in our army, preparatory to resuming oftbn-. sire operations, from the Boston Mountains, in Ar; kansas, to the mouth of .the James river. 'Ge;. neva Blunt, with his gallant division of West- . ern troops, has just nahieved a victory in Ar kansas of the greatest importance. lie attacked the enemy at the proper time, and gave him a sound 'thrashing, clearing thc.northern portion of the State of the rebeLlsmiditti.

THE NEWS. . . . Irc consequence of the . biteness of the hour at which we received Gen. Halleek's first annual report, we were able to print only that portion of it which referred to the war in the East; we, however, this morning print that portion of it relating to the ope rations of our army in the 'West since Gen. Halle& took command of the armies, in July last. Being,. as it is, an unprejudiced official report of the war in that region, it will be eagerly perused. On our first page will be found an interestingbatch of rebel news, compiled from late Southern papers furnished us from ratio us parts of the South. Tho rebel papers all concur that the greatest battle of the campaign will soon be fought. The cor respondence between the Mayor of Fredericks burg and General Sumner in relation to the surrender of that city, will be found interesting. The appearance of three iron-elncl vessels In the gulf makes the people of Mobile and other ports very un easy. Wn have news, by the arrival of the steamer City of Richmond from Port Royal nt New York yester day, that a military execution was to take place sit Port Royal on Monday, the Ist instant. A private of a Maine regiment, named Lunt, who deserted to the rebels, had been driven away by them, and on returning to our lines was tried and condemned to be shot. Much feeling was manifested in regard to the case. There was no doubt that the condemned man would be shut. Thanksgiving-day—the 27th November—was celebrated by the soldiers by order of General Saxton, who Is now in command of the Department of the South. The proceedings at the different camps were grotesnne and interesting. The negro brigade is rapidly recruiting, and nunibers, it is said, nearly two thousand men. The foreign news by the City of Manchester, Hi bernian, and China, is interesting, but not important• Garibaldi's wounds are improving. The probability of the election of Prince Alfred to the throne of Greece creates some excitement throughout Europe. The relations between France and England on the subject of American mediation arc disturbed. crEICEP.AL l'oPa and Governor Dennison had both arrived at Weabington, to testify in the McDowell and Porter court-martial cases. TnE New York Canal Commissioners have re.; solved to close the State canals on the tenth ocDe cember. PEDLERS are around officring five cents per pound for the best white rage ; but as they are worth ly double that figure, housekeepers should be on their guard. I•r is estimated that the cost of the enrollment, preparatory to the draft, will average $l,OOO to each county. It is understood that the General Govern_ went is to meet this expense. • GENERAL BANKS was presented with a fine black horse, saddle, and siceoutrements, by the 'Merchants. of New York, on Tuesday evening.

SENATE.—The standing committees of last Res. sion, with the exception of the substitution of Mr. Sumner for Mr. Simmons on Committee of Finance, and Mr. Arnold for. Mr. Thomson on Commerce, were appointed. The following, among other reso- Iu t iont4, were adopt ed : eventing the Secretary of War to furnish any intbrlnation he possesses in re lation to selling Free men into slavery ; to consider the expediency of establishing hospital and ambu lance corps. Hots E.—A resolution, Instructing Military Com mittee to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill allowing volunteers who have been honorably discharged while in active service, suelt , portion of bounty of one hundred dollars as shall be propor tioned to time of actual service. Increase of tile Price of Newspapers. The New York Tribune of -yesterday, in raising the price of that paper to three cents per copy, makes the following just and. ap propriate remarks upon the subject : The great advrtnee which has recently taken place in the price of paper of all kinds is doubtless 2dreatly known to most of our renders. We have not hitherto troubled them with respect to it, be- vause we have eiterisind a hope that it was tempo rary in its nature and (mulles, and would soon pass .away. But the present enormous price of cotton,. .carrying up that of all kindred fibrous substances ! capable of being spun and woven into fabrics,-has at length affected cotton rags, especially white ones, which are largely purchased for reduction by ma .chinery to a fibrous condition, whence they arc spun into yarn and iK&ti ;Is filling for new fabrics. This diversion to ,another use of the material mainly re lied on as stock for printingpaper has carried up the price of that product so rapidly and to such extent 'that we could to-day sell the white paper we have lased during the current year for many thousands of dollars more than our total receipts from our sub scribers. In other words, we are sending out our papers at rates which subject us to a loss on every ream we print; and as our circulation is larger and our prices lower than those of any cotemporary, our losses arc heaviest of all ; while the general restric tion of business eaused by the War for the Union forbids the hope of making up this loss by Increased receipts from ltdvertigements.” INVIMISIONIO Tennessee anti the West. There are no parts of the -reOrts of the Secretary of War and General HALLECK more interesting than those detailing the re sult of our military operations in Tennessee and the Western States. The importance of Tennessee may be judged from the an nouncement in the rebel papers, that JEF FEESO •DAY.IS has given instructions to his generals in, Tennessee to defend every foot ,of that Slate 'against the 'Federal invader. We are inclined to look upon this statement as a specimen of gitsconading ptirt the Richmond press, but, at all cveuts,. it shows that tll.e enenTy do not ':underrate :the, importance of Tennessee connection with the present contest.,, Although no gepilt bat tle has been fought within itsborders, nessee 'lints severely felt the bitternesS'and, anguish 0 this „feLaluil wit r Armies of the the North and South :have marched and : countermarched, over its Soil,- and the.great struggle :at Corinth was More of a blow at Tennessee than at. Mississippi, Where: it was fought. The invasion of Kentucky: :was severely lilt in Tennessee, and its rondS and hiethways swarmed With guerilla bands of ltighwzmymen. These Wild and : ferolouS ad veuturres lined the underbrush and' thicket's on the river banks, murdering and robbing the wayfarers and the crews and-passengers on the gunboats and transport vessels.

But Tennessee still reinains true,' and loyalty lives and thrives in its mountain homes, - In Mish.Ville and Memphis the Union men are numerous, active, and we might say the 'majority of the population,' , and we have Many reasons to expect that in coming elections they will choose loyal presentatives to the Federal CongreSs.

We have been favored with the perusal of nletter from an Irish M. P.; who is as little of a party man as, an Irishman can be, and have received permission to state the sub stance of its contents. It hears date " Lon don, November 15, 1862"—Lord JOUN RUSSELVS reply to M. DROITYN DE L'HUYS hailing appeared in the London. Gazette, offi cially, only the evening before. The letter mentions that great surprise had been cre ated every where, and freely expressed at the clubs, where polities are constantly dis cussed, at the want of tact on the part of the Emperor NAPOLEON in suggesting that the American " bellegerents" should consent to a six months' armistice—that„'tO do so would evidently weaken the North, and in- Ornate the South—that, in these six months, not only would the South dispose of all its cotton on hand, but get amply Supplied, out of its proceeds, with every thing, whether for peace or war, that it now greatly wants—and that, when the ar mistice was ended, the South would be better able than it ever had been to prose cute the Rebellion. What follows we give, with permission of the recipient, in his correspondent's own words : "It was known that France had made some sugges tion, on the American contest, , and one of the Paris papers (La Pattie) which is con sidered semi-official, at times, affirmed that Russia having consented to join France in offering European mediation to the Ameri cans, the ontrx of declining to act in unison,• in 'that matter, with Russia and .Fratice,, would fall upon England. It appears that this statement, intended to influene&Eng,- ;, land; was entirely without foundation.' The - 76:act terms of Russia'S reply are not known, but its material substance is—namely, that Russia -will not embarrass the North yby offering a wediation which it could not ac cept: The conversation at,the Reform Club, last night, after - the perusal of Lord Rus- SELL'S answer to DROUIN DE L'IIUY'S, was in the strongest approVal Of it, as it was RS smiled, as positive, that the North would never consent to an armistice, ,and to refuse it would create an unfriendly feel ing, all- round: : Lord RUSSELL'S reply to France was not sent • off, I hear, until the opinion of - a Cabinet Council had been taken upon it. So AmPortant was the occasion that the :Duke of Newcastle,' ‘ Colonial : Seqettily, who has been ill with . a ' throat. complaint for ton dayS, attended tlds eouncil, Muffled and furred up to the eyes. Of course, there really is no knowing the details Of 'business clone at a Meeting of the Cabinet, but- some Ineidents do occasionally trimspire. It WAS 'affirmed, last night, itiat Mr. GLADSTONE went in, very strongly, for interference, \OM FttUke, and with 0r With ' out Russia, in American anirS, and that Lord li.usSEL . z, was quite AS strong for non interference, PALMERSTON &tying very and actually not being called upon to show. his hand by voting, as the Cabinet Were two to one with- RUSSELL' against GLADSTONE. - Of - course, these are Only ../:..ttniors=-Lthc talk , of politicians and otherS On public subjects,. That the Duke. of , NeweaStle and Sir GEORGE LEWIS, .Colonial and War.,Secreta :ries of : State; ate decidedly with Lord RuS SELL, in his non-intervention :feeling, is no secret.

Lord Mayor's diiner, last-Mon day, : he limited his allusion to' tile American:, question .to Um:briefest mention of his.ret gret:',': The 'above, given -in a confidential corn ntinication from One. friend to another, is merely fiw.table 7 talk : of Loudon club, but it agrees With.the more general statements which have been made by the'English news- 1 : papers, and- eSpecially, as regards Lord , RossEp.'s action, by the report :that . the British: steamer 'Autothi; was taking - , - oil board animunition and other aids .to war for the Southern :rebels, had been stopped at Queenstown, and prohibited from thus violating the, 'neutrality :which the Queen's, Proclamation had ordained,Hunder legal penalties for infraction. If the British Go Vernment had, exercised the same vigilant: justice 'ere.

Si; - wits,' the feel ings of Americans toward England watildi have been much more friendly thanjhey arc now. As for " mediation," PALMERSTON / S own organ, the Morning Post, speaks 'sensibly when it says : "How is it possible for us to ,propose, au armistice which should have the enct of raising the• blockade', It would be tantalite= to a declaration that the North had been defeated, an admission .which we .cannot yet expect fronilhern; • TiyiniSe the blbekade :would be.to• admit. to 'the South arms, : elothing, and all that they need, while for the Northern States •there would be. no 'Compensating adVantage."

Correspondence of The Tress.) new Youir, Decernlier 2, 1862. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Our worthy Chief Magistrate's second annual epfstle to the people in Congress assembled, is re ceived by the people in New York assembled with Millie attention such an important document me rits. The universal response is, that Mr. Lincoln is certainly a very honest man, buf—in fact, I have heard no one speak of the message without the qua lifying "but," to introduce some personal objection. The "radicals," as all true foes to the slaveholding rebels are now called, seem inclined tb judge that the President does not recede from his emancipation proclamation ; but, to their minds, his elaboration of his proposal that Congress shall legislate for the definite termination of slavery in the year 1900, looks , as though he were wavering as to the fitness of freeing the slaves of rebels on the first of next January. 'From the fact that he hardly refers to said proclamation at all, his party seem to fear that this new emancipation project is the first step to wards edging away from it.. The World, which is now recognized as the most unscrupulous Democra tic organ of the day, holds that the policy of the pro clamation is virtually discarded in the niessage. and upon this premise proceeds to build a homily upon the of any interference at all—whether immediate or prospective—with slavery by the Ge neral Government. The Herald reiterates its old policy about paying no attention. at 'all to Slavery until after the war, and then leaving. Its destiny in the. hands of the conquered rebels themselves. The Times and Tribune judge from the Message that the President stands by his proclamation, and intends his suggestion to Congress only for the loyal slave holders of the Border States, and such of the South as may return to their allegiance before the first of January, That it is a fatal mistake for any statesman in such times as these to try to please everybody, isplainly enough evidenced by the present disloyal attitude of the Democratic party in this State. Though said party has been " cOncil atory" in every possible man ner from the beginning of the war; though it has been treated in the mildest spirit of paternity by the President it strove so desperately to defeat at the pops, its leaders are now doing all they can to breed sedition in the North, and nearly all'their utterances are fraught with the venom of treasonable spite. Intoxicated with recent political victories, (which they gained because the Government had been so lenient with their treason as to alienate its own best friends,) these malcontents strive openly to in cite the mob to outrage at all their public meetings ; they exalt such fellows as Pierre Soule, Mahoney, arid Marshal Kane, as martyrs of a "fiendish des potism," and insolently boast that their creatures in the next Congress will impeach the President, if he "dares" to do so and so. MA_IISTIAL "b:AIiE, The Maryland rebel policeman, who is one of the worthies so inexplicably let loose upon the commu nity from Fort Lafayette of late, publishes a savage " card " in to-day's World, addressing it to his " fel low-citizens of the State of Maryland." In terms characteristically insolent, he announces- himself as understood to be "the special victim of Mr. Secre tary Seward" and his " hired Minions ;" and he pro mises, when allowed the opportunity, to "show that all that is bad in a man, unpatriotic in a citizen, and corrupt in an officer, finds itself concentrated in this individual ;" that is, in Mr. Secretary Seward. In his prefatory note to the World, this man says that lie offered his " card" for publication to two or three Baltimore papers, but that they dared not publish it on account of the "despotic and lawless restrictions of the Federal Government." This is what the Government' gets for showing mercy to rebel prisoners. irrEF. BRINSMADE CASE Receives its last artistic touch in the decision of the Police Commissioners. They find that Provost Baker, of Washington, is the official at whose insti gation the irrepressible Mrs. Brinsthade was arrest ed, but censure Superintendent Kennedy for holding the woman a prisoner in New York without obtain ing their special permission to do so. The decision winds up, however, with a resolution expressing the full confidence of the Board in the earnest zeal, fidelity, and ability of Kennedy; so the latter may consider himself all right in the matter.. The Great Naval Depot question.. [Special Correspondence of The Press.] , NEW Yon x, December 2, 1862 TIIE CONFIDENCE OF TIIE PEOPLE OF CON- ISECTICIIT IN IrAvING THE DEPOT. The question of the location of the great United States naval depot is at the present agitating all of the New England States, but more especially Connecticut, and from the tone of her press the un knowing reader is,led to suppose that its location at New London is a fixed fact. It perhaps may be considered prophetic in me to say that in all human probability their sense of security will speedily vanish when the minority report is laid before a dis criminating and intelligent public. THE NAVAL. COMMITTEE'S ACTION. . . There can be no doubt of the candor and unbiased action of the Naval Committee who were appointed by the Hon. Secretary of the Navy to survey the proposed sites ; so, on that ground, neither claimants have cause to complain. .And notwithstanding the eastern interest felt sure of the weight of the ma-, jority report, they Must remember that often the minority report. is the most coliclusive and weighty New York is but looks upon it pot for her own benefit so much as she does for the benefit of the country at large.• We are to have the largest iron-clad navy in the world, and to construct and protect it, we must have a place which will give us, at the least cost, the material, and nest, a place having in its location the best si tuation as to its means of defence. THE PROPOSED SITE AT EW LONDON New London has a fine harbor, accessible, a good depth of water, situation 'within a healthy region, but far renioced from an adequate supply of iron and coal. It is 'true the Salisbury Iron Mines are near at band, but they cannot furnish the iron for the work required to be done. • We do not, in our present communication, intend to disparage New London, nor the Eastern people, but simply to State a few facts in reference to this important subject. DI 1 f ~ ( ~ ~ At the present time we are in need of the follow ing requisites for a naval depot : I. Iron-clads should be built as far from the sea as convenient, so - as to be in fresh water. 11. Our naval depot should be on,a narrow river, of sufficient depth to accommodate' any draught of vessel. This position should be so, that, in case of foreign invasion, the river could be readily ob structed. 111. This naval depot should be in the immediate vicinity of iron and coal mines s thereby rendering the cost of material much less that of transportation to a distance. - IV. To procure a site which should be the b6st at the least cost, and having the greatest advantages. I only present theforegoing points as a few among the many of great importance. To shorten the matter, we will allow that League Wand combines all of these. THE INDEFENSIBTLITY OF NEW LONDON One of the great objections to New London as the site for the naval depot is its Indefensibility. On the eastern side is the Mystic river, on the south. Long Island sound, and on the west the Connecticut river. All of these waters afford facilities for the landing of an enemy. Should an enemy land on the. Mystic side, he 'could march up to Grolin Heights, where there is Fort Griswold, whose guns bear only on the harbor side, leaving the fort exposed on the side from which a land attack Might be made success fully. On the west side of the harbor we have Fort Trumbull, whose guns also command the harbor only. So that an enemy, in his march from a lend_ ing point on the. Connecticut river, could march un molested into the city of New London. Fort Griswold, on Gran Heights; overlooks the pro Posed site of the naval depot on Winthrop's Neck, 'and its guns, with ease and accuracy, could destroy a navy yard at that point in .a few.hours, while it could.not be held for a few minutes. Therefore, to secure a site at Winthrop's Neck, on the Thames river, it would be necessary:to con- - struct a large work at the mouth of the Connecticut river, frith connecting works up the Coast to New London ; to, erect ,additional works to protect the Intricir, and to, Mind a work near the Mystic river to prevent n landing, there, while large works must be erected on Gull and Fisher's Islands. ' I N IF A ON ' I 0' IN The following extract front the Hartford Press . shows how even the New llngland people ac4nOW, ledge its requisite fortifying: "A glance at the map shows that New England is very assailable from Long Island Sound, and New York is no less so. A powerful hostile fleet in the . sound has the ports and towns of Connecticut and New York city itself at its mercy ; and those once gained, the whole interior is deienceleSs. But na ture has-provided for the complete defence Of New York from this dangerous approach, and tot - the whole Connecticut , at the' eastern entrance of the sound. The main channel by which vesseli3 enter the sound is between Fisher's Island and Gtill Is land; a strait of about four miles in width. Through this passage the large war ships must. come, though there are MUM' elitilillees for YeStels of light draught. Strong fortifications, therefore, upon these Islands, would command the channel and perfectly protect nc . sound from large hostile war vessels. About ntitt;aY between these islands is a rock, said, by those ivN.have examined it, to be large enough to sustain a remittable fortification, at least a sort of a revolving i,!%iver, ttltielt would materially, add to the strength of t;:e position." To construct these 'Works so as to resist the new class of vessels build a ini t i i t t; i,..4 a 111 sthe require trillions t says,pon millions of money ;n "there are minor entrances for smaller vessels." This in itself shows its unfitness' for the location of so great a depot. Another point I will allude to at this time, and then close. The Eastern people place much stress upon League Island as a mud bank. The following statement in reference to the borings at League Ldrind should forever silence that story: Four borings were. recently made at League lahi rul, by order of the naval commissioners. rho first was made on the extreme lower point of the island, fronting on the Delaware, and resulted ns follows : Alluvial 66 feet, gravel 2 feet, and alluvial 7 feet ; nmkingatotal of 65 feet. The second boring, mnde about 310 yards from the first, and about .125 yards from the Delaware front, WAS as follows: alluvial 23 feet, sand 1 foot, allu vial 4 feet, coarse Sand 1 foot, and gravel 4 feetond not through the gravel, making a total of 35 feet bored. 'rite third, with pipe the same, as the second boring, Showed alluvial, 25 feet; sand, 6 inches ; 4 feet 6 inches fine gravel, 1 foot ; gravel, 4 feet ; sand,. 234 feet ; alluvial , 6 inches ; and gravel and atones 9 down to the boulders. The fourth and last boring, between 400 end 000 ya4ds from the second and third borings on.the old mendoiv, resulted as follows : Sand and mud, 29 feet ; send, 3 feet ; and coarse gravel, 7 feet, and the bot tom of strata not readied. At Winthrop's Neck, (New London,) the site is of a very rocky nature, and the borings there revealed the fact that after penetrating the soil a shOrt dis tance, they found a hard pan, which gave them much trouble, and in the opinion of all concerned to Limit oft this rock would cost at least as much as it will to put League Island in proper order. The work of blasting is tedious and dangerous ; while filling in and piling is more readily accomplished. At some future time you may look for more de tails of this interesting subject, SPECIAL.

The funeral of the Countess Seamogski, at War saw, had assumed a political significance, and teeny arrests were made by the police and Cossacks. News by the Steamer City or Manchester. The following is a summary of the news by the steamship City of Manchester, which sailed from Liverpool on the 19th, via Londonderry on the 20th of November: The French project of mediation in American af fairs continues to attract considerable attention, and is the theme of much comment. The Paris journals, with the exception of the bronileur, generally reproach the English Govern ment for holding back from the offer of France, and charge it with discreditable motives. It is reported that much disappointment exists in France at the course of Russia, as the proposition for mediation was sent to St. Petersburg before it was to London, and the assent of the Rileslan Go vernment was relied upon and expected to weigh. upon the decision of England. The London Times and the London Daily New 3 think that subsequent events, including the Demo cratic successes in the Northern States, at the recent elections, confirm the wisdom of the British Cabinet' in acting as they have done. The London Morning-Yost (Ministerial) says that the question is Vie view of all the three great powers appears to be afhply one of time. The London Herald thinks that nothing could have been more graceful or more opportune than the pro posal of the Emperor of France to England, and no thing more churlish or illogical than Earl Russell's reply to thatpropOsal. The Herald asserts that the relations of England and France have assumed an unsatisfactory cha racter, but the London Globe ridicules this idea. Cabinet councils were of frequent occurrence in London. The result of the election in. the State of New York was the theme of very general comment, the prevailing impression being that the Democratic successes were a step towards peace, and that they would tend to keep the Federal Government within its constitutional 'limits. The London Times thinks that the successes of the Democrats, in the Northern States, will bring the word " compromise into very general use in Arne: ries. The London 'Daily News thinks that the Demo cratic successes signify a disposition to let the Re public "wallow again in the old mire of slavery.” The London Star thinks that the effect of the De mocratic successes may, be to protract the war. It is stated that the steamers Saxonia and Hansa, from Southampton, will take out large quantities of guns and ammunition for New York. A correspondent .of the London Morning Herald charges that a recent steamer from Liverpool took: out twenty-four French "guillotines," consigned to a con fidential agent of President Lincoln, in the city of em. York!. The Steamer China Off Cape Race—Liver pool Dates to the 22d. ultimO—United States Frigate Saratoga -at Lisbon— Steamer Bavaria.

CAPE Racz, Dee. 2.—The steamer China passed here at four o'clock on Monday afternoon, with Li verpool dates to the 22d ult. The steamer Arabia arrived at Queenstown on the 22d ult. The political news is not important. • The U. S. frigate Saratoga arrived at Lisbon on the 17th ult. . The steamer Bavaria, before reported ashore, was got ow and proceeded to Hamburg. Gen. McClellan's removal caused a depression in Anierican securities. The London Times says this is the first of of the elections on President Lin coln' and that Gen. McClellan has been sacrificed to the political jealousies of the party in power, he being known to be n conservative, and opposed to the violent acts of the Executive. The l i mes ques lions the success of the movement, as it makes Mc- Clellan a conservative martyr. The Army and Nary Gazelle regards the removal of General McClellan as a defiance. of the Government to the Democrats, and will result in the humiliation of President Lincoln: No moment, it says, has been more favorable for bold Confederate move ments. It questions General Burnside's ability for 'the appointment. . The text of the Russian note refusing the French propositions bears out the telegraphic summary..: Conunercial la.v.Egroor., Nor. 22.—The sales of cotton today haVe been 10,000 bales, including 5,000-hales to specu lators and expoiters, the market closing with a - - '---.AsAtnuce for all qualities.

The Paris Bourse was heavy ; Rentes 70f 20c. Vague rumors prevail that France has -sent another note to England, in response to Earl Rus sell's reply. The Liverpool Post explains that the 290 recently launched.. is not for the Confederate service, but for Chinn. The sale of sundry fast coasting steamers, for the purpose of running the blockade, is reported. . A steamer, name unknown, recently left. the Mer sey with six hunched tons of arms for the Conte ' derides. The London Times and Post reply to Mr. Seward's reflections on the case of the Alabama, and empha tically deny that there are grounds for the Federals to complain in a matter where they reaped the greatest benefits. Garibaldi, in a letter to W. Cot nell Jewell, pledges himself strongly in favor of the North, as an oppo nent of slavery. He goes for the abolition of slavery before any constitutional question. The London Timcs of Saturday again expatiates on the probable effect of the Democratic success in the elections, and says : "No sudden change in the Federal policy can be anticipated; but it is enough to know that the worst of President Lincoln's mea sures have been condemned, and will probably be' Abandoned: This conservative victory will prevent the great crime of stirring up the negro to insurrec tion, and will insure personal liberty and free dis cussion at the North. A deputation had an interview with the Duke of New Castle on the subject of n route through British territory to the. Pacific. The Morning Herald regards McClellan's removal as a terrible mistake of President Lincoln, both in a military and a political point. The Star thinks the cause of 'McClellan's removal justifiedthe action of the President. . 'lie Saturday Review thinks that Napoleon has movements on foot which do not appear on the sur face of his mediation scheme, and says that the ex press mention of the name "Confederate States," which they selected for themselves, virtually in volves a recognition; and the proposal for an armis tice supplies an opinion which HMV shortly be ut tered into language more intelligible than words. The article hints at a probable alliance with the Southern States in connection with the Emperor's designs on Mexico. THE LATEST VIA QUEENSTOWN. The political news to-day is not important.

Such a canal was often contemplated, and was even begun, in ancient times, but it has never been formed. SAFETY or D,. VooEt.—There is reason to be lieve that Dr. Vogel, the African traveller, who had been given up ns lost, is still alive, though a captive of the Sultan of Witdia. Lieutenant' You Bear- mann, of the Prussian Artillery, who went in search of the traveller's papers, arrived at Murznek on the 20th of .Ittite, and was to leave for Wadi* on the 22d.
