* V\t 'jfytt&B. FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1868. JS"-We can take no notice of anonymous commu nications. We do not return rejected manuscripts. 4S» Voluntary correspondence solicited from all 11 parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments, -When used, it Will be paid for, THE MEWS. "Or K advices from Europe are meagre, and con fined mainly to expressions of foreign sentiment on the American question. The Times intimates that Mr. Adams is to have a brace of lawyers to advise him on maritime law. Other journals do more jus tice to Mr. Lincoln, and admit that he evinces a Bincere and earnest desire to cultivate ’ the most friendly relations with Great Britain, and avoid giving just cause of offfcnce. It is now said that the Princes of Wales and his bride will mot visit Louis Napoleon, In Parliament, the 'Charleston affair was being disoussed in its sci entific relations, and it was announced, amid loud cheering, in the House of Commons that the Go vernment had received a despatch from Lord Lyons announcing that Mr. Seward had given directions that the mails on board the Peterhof should be sent to their destination unopened. In France the peo ple were going through the forms of an election. The Government was taking measures to prevent any manifestation of liberal sentiment. In Italy ings in favor of Poland were prohibited. The war in Poland seemed to continue; the Poles claiming victories. A portion of the Bussianggrmy has been routed byitbree thousand Circassians', and the Grand Hulre Michael narrowly escaped capture. Political affairs were undecided, and a Paris correspondent says that the conviction is gaining in Paris that an avoidance of war with Kussia rests no longer with England and Frenec, but with Russia, to decide. Tun more complete arid reliable news which we now receive from Havana, Ib, in general', unfavora ble to the French army, whose repulse from Puebla is confirmed. They are again at the Fortress San -Zayier, which they won at the commencement of the Biege. To this point they were driven hack by the bayonet, and up to date of April 22d, the pro jects of Forey were unpromising. Puebla was not fully inverted by the French, and though they kept up a continuous , bombardment, the Mexicans re paired at once all breaches made, Jand assumed, in various ways, the offensive. Of a battle fought at Atlixco we have French and Mexican accounts, both of which claim a victory. Puebla lies seventy six miles east-southeast from the city of Mexico, and has a population of seventy thousand. This is the limit of the French advance in sixteen months. The army of Comonfort was being largely reinforced, while that of the French was decreasing with the rigor and accidents of the siege. We have little news of important credit from the Army of the Potomac. A prominent rumor-in Washington was that of a new raid from the rebels, under Stuart, who had come as far as the Chain Bridge, in return of compliment to General Stone mania expedition upon Richmond. General Hooker, it is aIBO reported, had designed to.recross the Rap pahannock, but his order was countermanded by General Halleck. This is given in explanation of the report so widely circulated in the press, but may reasonably be doubted. That General Lee’s army has given Bign of new movement is another im pression. The rebels assert a loss of only ten thou sand ' in.the battle on the Rappahannock, of which two thousand are prisoners, hut it is certain, from our own data, that about four thousand rebels were captured. The rebel lobs will, at least, equal our own. . The position'General Rosecrans now occupies, •opposed to the army of Johnson and Bragg, is one from which it will be hardly possible to drive him. The rebel, papers are earnestly urging General ZEragg to attack bis position, frankly alleging that their granaries are empty, and subsistence must be won. The rebel position, according to rebel autho rity, rests on the right at McMinnville, and the line extends thence westward to Manchester, Wartrace, and Shelbyville to Columbia, forming the arc of a large circle, while the rear extends as far south as Elk ‘Springs. The left is sheltered by Buck river. The Councils were in session yesterday. The bill known as the Ocean Steamship Bill was defeat ed, by a tie vote. The cause for the defeat was the provision making the city, as it were, responsible for the subscriptions made to the stock of this pri vate corporation. After the defeat, on motion of Mr, Lynd, the vote was reconsidered.' Petitions were presented to Councils, protesting against the storage of coal oil in the city. The Mayor vetoed two ordinances of no Bpecial importance. A number of gentlemen were elected Fort Wardens and Trus tees of the Northern Liberties Gas Works. . The Dry Tortugas, an extensive fortification, which the Government has been so long construct ing on Tortugaß Islands, near Key West, is the place to .which Mr, Vallandigham is reported to have been sentenced by a majority of his court mar tial, the remainder favoring his banishment South. It is eaid that Gen. Burnside approved the former, and the President the latter. This is, of course, mere report. What will be done to Yallandigham cannot be definitely known until his suit for habeas corpus is decided.

The Argvs repuhlishes the Legislative Democratic Ad dress—with resolutions, and with the resolutions of the Convention that nominated Governor Seymour, 1o show that all are io Democratic harmony. This is done, it says, in answer to, certain resolutions from Mozart Hall, in New York. The Argus also eaj'B, New York action is in harmony with the De mocracy of Pennsylvania and of the Legislature of Kentucky. "We have little news from the Southwest, although we may expect important intelligence daily. We have an ambiguous despatch about a battle being fought at Clinton, Alabama, which ends by-inform us that after the fight Gen. Grant, “finding the rebels reinforcing from Mobile aid Charleston, pru dently retired towards the river, when he can, have the co-opcration of the gunboats.” This last sentence is unpleasant, a 3 the co-operation of gunboats is generally a last expedient, Governor Morton, of Indiana, requests the con finement of eight hundred of the rebel prisoners in the hands of the Government, as hostages for the ex change of four hundred Alabamians in Colonel Straight’s Slst Indiana regiment who were not pa roled with the other troops recently captured, but sent to Richmond for imprisonment or trial as rene gades.

It is Intended to be a mass meeting of all the friendß of the enterprise, AoooKMNG toHobert Quid, Confederate commis sioner for exchange of prisoners, who came down on Monday to Fortress Monroe, 5,000 Union prisoners were at Kichmond waiting exchange, and 6.000 more would arrive in a few days. All these, he repre sented, were taken at the last battle. Bv a letter from Fortress Monroe, we learn that all remains quiet at Sufioik, no rebels appear ing this side of the Blaokwater. The old rebel forti fications are in course of demolition, and soon not a vestige of them will remain. The Union Convention of Virginia, which met at Alexandria on Tuesday, re-nominated Governor Francis Pierpont. Mr. Minor, of Alexandria, was named for Lieut. Governor. The Seventh District nomination for Congress is Mr.B, F. Kitchen, of Berkeley county. The entire Confederate force now under General Bragg, in Tennessee, is estimated at from sixty-five to seventy thousand men—nearly double the number that fought the battle at Murfreesboro. Generals Morgan and Wheeler are said to be at Liberty and Alexandria, with 5,000 cavalry, and are supposed to be meditating an attack'on Nashville. Business is almost at a stand-still on the docks at Buffalo, in consequence of a strike among the grain shoveUerß and stevedores. Our city is filled with strangerß going to'Wash ington and to attend the May anniversaries. Tile Polish Question. The Polish question continues to excite and agitate Europe. What Ireland was for centuries to England, Poland lias been to Russia ever since it passed under the yoke ■of the .Czars, in 1772, "when' the first parti-' tion of that country was made by those three diademed robbers, Cathatuxe of Russia, Prederic of Prussia, and Mama Theresa of Austria. It was in the power of the first Napoleon to have restored na tionality to Poland, hut he did not deem it politic to effect it. When he sustained dis astrous defeat in Russia, in 1812-13, he found, too late, that his neglect had lost him great support when most needed. The Treaty of Vienna, in 1815, annexed the ■Duchy of Warsaw to Russia, with the ex ception of the province of Posen; which -was retained by Prussia. Austria retained ■Gallitzia, with the salt mines of Wieiioza. The city o( Cracow was declared independ ■ ent, but was seized and annexed by Austria :in 1840. The Emperor Alexander 1., -..taking the title of “ King of Poland,” com -mencecl with conciliatory promises, and . signed the constitutional charter at Warsaw, :in December 1815. But this charter was never carried into effect, and, particularly, after Alexander's death, Poland was go verned with terrible tyranny by the Vicb ;roy Constantine, who, it is charity to sav, was the vrorst kind of a madmau. Hence when Revolution stalked through Europe in 1830, the Poles rushed to arms, hoping to tiirow off the Russian yoke ; hut, after ibattling bravely with the odds greatly against ttliem, were defeated and again placed in thrall. Until now, every subsequent effort was a failure. Prance, England, and Austria, have severally and jointly remonstrated with the Emperor Alexander H. upon the condi tion of affairs in Poland, and it would ap pear that they desire to have the provisions of the Treaty of Vienna faithfully carried put. The Czar, whose liberation -of the serfs shows mingled boldness and humanity, is probably not fully aware of tlie maimer in wliicli Poland has been misgoverned in liis-iiame. He is not likely to be pleased with the interference of Foreign Powers in the afiairs of his own empire. Should he return a curt reply to their remonstrances, it is considered probable that war may ensue. "Who would he the belligerents ? On one side, Russia would liaye the support of Prussia, or rather of its Bing, for the Prus sian people have great sympathy with the Poles. On the other, England and France would certainly act together, as they did ia the Crimea, but we doubt whether Austria, herself enriched by the spoliation of Poland, would strike any decided blow against Rus sia. The conduct of Austria in the last war with Russia showed a desire to be neutral, as far as possible. From the sympathy of Italy a good deal might be expected. Vic tor Emmanuel is understood to be willing to act against Russia for Poland. A fourth ally would be Charles XV. of Sweden, who has some personal grounds for enmity with the Czar, and who would probably be glad, at such a crisis, to assert his right to the province of Finland, now retained by Russia, and who is said to have 100,000 sol diers ready to take the field for such a pur pose. This united array against Russia would indeed be formidable. Irish Emigration. The curious correspondence between Earl Russell, and Mr. C."F. Adams exhibits a good deal of calm impertinence on the one side, and dignified retort upon the other. Lord Russell, with a pretty taste for lite rature, has been so unfortunate as never to have produced one readable or successful work. He commenced nearly half a cen tury ago, we believe, with a little volume, entitled “ Essays and Sketches of Life and Character; by a Gentleman who has left his Lodgings,” which speedily descended to the tomb of all the Capulets. Next came a Spanish novel, with more than Spanish indecency of plot and action, called “The Nun of Arrica. ’ ’ After this, lie tried biogra phy, political disquisition, the drama, his tory, morals, and miscellanies, ending with the “Diary, Memoirs, and Correspondence of Thomas Moore, ” which he contrived to render devoid of interest, by omitting the most spicy personal anecdotes, and by emas culating many that were retained. As a polite letter-writer lie has been equally un fortunate ; as witness bis foolish letter on the Com Laws, in December, 1845, and his missive to the Bishop of Durham,,in 1850, “with reference to the usurpation of the Pope of Rome,” in which he insulted six or seven millions of Queen Victoria’s Roman Catholic subjects, by glibly ridiculing the ceremonials of their religious worship, by calling them “ the mummeries of supersti tion.” Ever since lie lias been Foreign Minister of England, Lord Bussell's avidity for writing public epistles lias tremendously increased. He contrives to keep most of tbe ambassadors to'the Court of St. James in perpetual hot water. Of course, our minister has not escaped. Last November he wrote to Mr. Adams that the Palmerston Ministry bad been “ informed that bounty money, of considerable amount, is offered by tbe agents of tbe United States to en courage British subjects to enlist.”’ Mr. Adams instantly replied that he had neither knowledge of nor belief in the information referred to. After'nearly a month’s delay, Lord Bussell informed Mr. Adams that “further inquiries which have been insti tuted respecting the alleged recruiting in London for the United States seem to esta blish that the reports to that effect, which had reached her Majesty’s Government,- were without foundation. ” After having thus eaten his words, it might have been hoped that Lord Bussell would have exercised some caution in fu ture. On the contrary, he discovered another mare’s nest, and wrote to Mr. Adams, on the 16th.of April, complaining that, within a fortnight, 1,278 Irish emi grants had sailed from Queenstown (the Cove of Cork, ) to New York. He added, “ the greater number, being strong, active not deny" it. A certain number of these men were militiamen from Cork and its vicinity, and they informed .lb a officer that they -wov'M "get from 250 to 300 - dollars bounty. It also appears that the prospect of this large bounty has been held -out to young men by general rumor through out the country. It is further stated that the friends of those persons in America are paid so much for obtaining and bringing them oyer to New York.” ' “ Mr. Adams replied in a manner that ought to stop Lord Russell’s letter writing for some time. He admitted the notorious fact that a great many people, especially in Ireland, had applied at the American lega tion for free passages to the United States ; that a large number of them hgd offered to enlist in the service of the United States Go vernment; that no doubt they were influ enced, more or less, by the high bounties offered in America; that the legation, and other United States officers in Great Britain and Ireland, had refused to listen to such proposals, or make any engagement what ever; and that the demand for labor in America would partly explain the emigra tion thither." He concluded in the follow ing words : “There is no doubt of thd fact of a scarcity of laborers in the United States. I learn from private sources that the rates of wages this season are very much ad vanced. lam led to believe that these causes, in addition to the alleged distress of the population of Ireland, may explain the phenomena of emigration to which your lordship has been pleased to draw my at tention.” In thislast sentence lies the sharpness of Mr. Adams’ reply to Lord Russell. He i alludes to 1 ‘ the alleged distress’ ’ of the popu lation of Ireland. It is more than “al leged it is so painfully real that, if con tinued, Ireland-will be depopulated. This fact is patent to the whole of Europe. The Paris Monde., of April 15, contains the fol lowing extract from a letter written by the Rev. M. Lx ons, of Skibbereen, in the county of Cork, to Dr. Ltkcd, president of the - Irish College; in Paris : “Not only do tiie poor victims complaio, but the most experienced observers admit that there exists more real misery and less resources to relieve it than during the year of the great famine (1847), except that we have no epidemic. Men and women come every day, tortured by hunger, to ask for the means of subsistence. Their children are frequently two days, without tasting food. Many of these poor people are leaving for England, with the hope of earning' a Jittie money, and the children endeavor to keep possession of their cabin until some relief shall arrive. When a man is ruined two others are in volved in his ruin, because they have engaged them selves for him. It requires three signatures to bor row a sack of flour, and none of those in America m have the means of paying. The people have eaten the potatoes intended for seed, and many have sold tneir cattle at half-prict. The Weather iff bad Wind ram, and bail have rendered the turf, their onlv firing, useless. Even the sick have no fire. All they can do is to boil their wretchedlfood with dried; weedß. The four winds of Heaven blow through their miserable hovels, in which there are scarcely any doors or windows. A bed not good enough for a hog serves for an entire family. The greater num ber of the population are in want of food, fire,,and clothing. A meeting was held lately, for the pur pose ofconsiderSng what means could be adopteibfor relieving the distress. Among those who> attended the meeting..was a landlord' who, some days pro- • viously, had seized the goods of a poor tenant who owed him six months’ rent. I saw the two cowb of this poor man sold for 255. and 28s. each. In fact, : nothing is-being done* and,, with the bad weather, the impossibility of going out to fish, and the rent , due by the w>etched tenants, the miaery is dreadful.”’ If Lord Bussell read that letter, (and we 1 presume he did, as it was republished in The Times,) he need not wonder at the tide of emigration from hopeless misery and starva tion in Ireland to plenty and comfort in. tiie United States. British misgovemment has ruined Ireland. Last February, when the distressed condition of the Irish was dis cussed in the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel, who declared that it was ex aggerated, was sternly informed by Mr. Ma guire, member for Dungarvon- and Mayor of Cork, that if he did not treat this condi tion of affairs as a reality, and legislate- for it accordingly, one half the able-bodied men and women of Ireland would seek a home in the United States, ere the present year was ended. Mr. Adams, in drawing Lord Bussell’s attention to “ the alleged distress of the population of Ireland,” gave him one of the keenest thrusts in a vital part that this diminutive lordling ever received. Mr.. Park Bknjamin. —We understand that Park Benjamin, Esq., hfta returned, and resumed Ms re sidence in New York, where he may be addressed (77 Cedar street or 78 West Forty-arth street) by all persons desiring his services as a public leoturer WASHIN GTON- Special Dnpatcbcs to ‘‘The Press.” Washington, May u, ISB3, The Wounded at the last Battle. Dr. Warren Webster returned from, the- ene my’s lines to Falmouth last night. He reports our wounded as doing well. A pontoon bridge has been laid over at United Stateaford for the transporta tion of wounded. It will be remembered that-Mr, ■Webster remained at Choneellorvllle to attend to those who were in too dangerous a condition to ad mit of removal. The prohibition to sutlers transporting supplies to the Army of the Fotomac, issued on the 29th of April, has been revoked. National Banks. Hugh McCulloch, the Comptroller of the Cur rency, has decided that associations organizing under the act to provide a national currency, &c., shall be designated as national banks, and not as national banking associations. A circular of ex plicit instructions will be issued for the government of those desiring to- organize under the law, and the applications already made will be returned, in order that they may be presented in regular and proper form. Samuel L. Howard, formerly of Leroy, New York, lately in charge of the note-cutting room, has been appointed Deputy Comptroller of the Cur rency. The treasury is now being abundantly supplied with legal-tender notes, received'in exchange for bonds, and is confining its preparation of notes to those of the smallest denomination. - Tile Exportation of Horses and. Mules. Information has been received at the War Depart ment that sundry persons are purchasing horses and mules within the United States for exportation, contrary to the Executive order of November 21, 1862. To the end that during the present war the military resources of this Government should not be withdrawn from the country, the commandants of departments are, by official order, directed to pro hibit the purchase and sale of all horses and mules Within .the limits of their respective commands, to be exported from the United States, and take and appropriate to the use of the Government any horses, mules, or live stock designed for exportation, causing the value thereof to be appraised and reported to the Quartermaster General; and enjoined vigorously to enforce the Executive order of No vember 21, 1862, prohibiting the exportation of arms, ammunition, and munitions of war.. Claims for property taken under this order are required to be presented to the Quartermaster General for adjust ment. Removal of the Chief Justice of Utah. The removal of Judge lOnnet, as Chief Justice of Utah (his successor being John Titus, of Penn sylvania), is regarded here as indicative of a less forbearing course towards the Mormons than has herefore been practised. Complaints have been nu merous against that functionary and the change made from motives of public policy. Discharged Volunteers. Thousands of discharged volunteers, their term of service having expired, passed through to Baltimore, homeward-bound, on Tuesday, and regiments, yes terday and to-day, returning from the Army of the Potomac, paraded our streets. The men generally appear to be in a healthy condition, and many of them,' by their own statements, say their bodily con dition has been strengthened by their two-years’ or nine-months’ service. Their powers of physical en durance has been put to the test by carrying about fifty pounds weight, musket, rations, ammunition, blanket, Sco., while on the march previous to the late battle. In addition to the seizure under the confiscation act of the real and personal property of Dr. Corne lius Botle and of Charles o. Vali.aait, of this city, orders have been given to the occupant of Dr. Garnett’s house and others to pay no rent to any of the agents acting for the rebel absentees. Pardon* John Orcutt Carpenter, of Kentucky, who was convicted of treason, has been pardoned by the President. The exercise of the Executive clemency has been procured through the intervention of hiß friends, on the ground that he has repented of his crime, voluntarily abandoned the service of the rebels, and returned to allegiance, to live at peace as a loyal and law-abiding citizen. Naval* ' The Navy Department harf received information that the 7 'steamship Cherokee was captured off Charleston while endeavoring to run the blockade. Rebel Prisoners. : The rebel prisoners still remaining here in custody are, under proper regulations,-permitted to be sup plied with whatever may contribute to their per sonal comfort. 3L hundred and sixty rebel prisoners have signified their willingness to take the oath of ' allegiance to the United Stateß Government.

JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal Gen. Hon. Jolin. J. Crittenden in Support of tile Government. Hon. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, made an eloquent speech in Lexington, Kentucky, recently, in support of the war for the Union, and the Ad ministration. The following glowing extract was the conclusion: Let us fight through it as beat we can. The enemy challenges us; lie ia in our WAy; he stands beforezis, delying ua with all the boldness of the Philistines of , V * defying you Kentuckians. andpro 'S?-!? 1111 ® *l*® determination to make you his spoil, will you "hesitate .what course to: pursue'?

I don’t love the South the less, but X love my country more. My hostility is the result of princi pie, which is the same, morning, noon, and evening— m the morning of the year, and at the noon and evening of every year. . Themere politician says he is angry with the South; but there is nothing reli able in anger; it is passion, and may change any hour or day, and be against you when you think it will be tor you. The nation will get through its difficulties. We have the power and the wilt to do it, and we shall accomplish it. .That great Providence that has made us the standard-bearer of freedom, will not permit our Government .to go down and leave the world in gloom. I have faith: “there-33 a Divinity above that shapes all our ends,and Bewill shape the des tiny of our nation. Its career has only just begun.. and Providence does not permit a 1 half-finished work of such momentous proportions to fail and be aban doned; and I trust in God that we, the people, do not intend it. Our hearts must be filled with the noble determination to maintain fch® integrity of our Government, while we glow greater and greater, mightier and mightier, richer in civilization, grander in prosperity, until our glory shall cover the whole land. But .you must prepare to fight the rebellion nircugh to the last, no matter whether England or France, or any other Power, make common cause with them or not. We mußt fight them all, if need be; can whip them all, in the defence or right. I don’t want to extend the boundaries of this war; God knows Ido not. I have tried to make peace, as long as peace was consistent - with national safety. Now, I believe war alone can save us, and war it mußt be. England is not ourrfriendin this contest. I care not how Boftly_she-may condole with us on the calamities of war. Let me tell you this solemn truth: both. ISngland and France want your country divided; both of them are witnesses to you how important it is to you that it shall not be divided. They want it divided, m order to weaken you, that, by weakening, they may conquer you. They want to Europeanize all America. France is trying to do it now in a portion ol the continent. But .they, are ;& little-afraid. There are a million of freemen in arms, -and a million more, ready to spring to the defence of the nation against a foreign loe. [A voice, witb»a well-known brogue—“ And all Ireland is ready tood” Great and continued applause.] That is true.. Let England and France makea hostile movemenfrand the hearts of our people will be roused. It witt.no longer be a contest between brethren. The Bight of a foreign foe will kindle a fire of patriotism, that will rouse the nation to a just sense of its danger ♦ and we will beat oft' the combined forces as easily as*we now hold the rebels in check. And when our erriDg brethren shall come back, when this war is over, we will endeavor, as a matter ol policy, and forhumanity’s sake, to treat it as a family feud. We will make reconciliation as far as possible, We will endeavor to- forgive and forget, on all sides, the wounds and disasters that have fallen upon us. And this nation will take a new start. We shall be a wiser people.. We shall know what it is to rebel. We wilt know that it is no holi day no mere beating of drums, and firin® of blaDk cartridges. Our Southern brethren seemed ,to think that there was no more harm in rebellion than in going to church. It was merely a turning to the right or to. the left.

MAY 15. 186 SJ r i ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Rumors of a Rtbd Cavalry Raid- The latest current rumors from Washington and the army? Bays the Evening Pos( t are to tills effect; Fears of a rebel cavalry raid upon the capital ore entertained in Washington, and for some days the planks of the Chain Bridge have been removed, and a full battery slao stationed at the Aqueduct Bridge'. On Sunday last, a rebel cavalry force made a dash through oct? lines and up to Chain Bridge; but we cannot learn that the enterprise wot attended' with any advantages. This, $? true, is evidently an net of mere bravado, in return for Stoneiaan’a ex pkrit in riding into Richmond. The report that General Hooker liad'recrossed the Rappahannock is explained by the* statement that such wab G eneral Hooker’s wish And design, l>u3his order was countermanded: by General Halleck. WO SIGNS OF A- MOVEMENT. Washington, May 14.—Gentlemen arriving from-, the Rappahannock last night, who are certainly iiv a position to speak advisedly, say there are no indi cations of a movement to the south side of that river by our army. . Complaints are made or the offensive odors rising from the-dead horses and offal in- the neighborhood of the army ; but measures have been taken to 1 re move the nuisances, having in view the sanitary condition of the army. The N. y.

Fortress Monroe, May 13.—Two buildings, for merly hotels, Macon and Ocean Houses, have been used for* some time as hospitals, bearing their re spective names. They have just been' consolidated, and will be known from this timers the “ Cuyler General Hospital,” and under the superintendence of Dr. McKay, formerly of the Chesapeake Hospital at Hampton. The steamer Georgian®, Capt. Pearson, has re turned to Fortress Moneoe, having been thoroughly repaired. For the present she will take the place of the Thomas A.

General Grant’s .Advance*-—Reinforce- . Cairo, May 14.—The Hon.. Mr. Washburne left the extreme front on Friday, and from him we learn that General Grant’s advance was within eighteen miles of Edwards’ station, which is eighteen miles east of Vicksburg, Two divisions of General Sher man’s corps had reached Grand Gulf, and General McArthur’s was crossing. ; The army was in excel lent condition. t?: Later* Caiko, May 14. —'The very latest dates from Gen. Grant’s army are to Thursday. At that time it was eighteen miles from Grand Gulf, encamped near the Big Black river. We had not yet possession of any part of the railroad between Vicksburg and Jack son. There is probably no truth in the reported bat tle at Clinton. General Grant is receiving heavy reinforcements. A new overland road for troops and trains has been made from Young’s Point to the river below, which is only eight miles long, and greatly expedites the forwarding ofmen and supplies. Ten negro regiments have been formed, and Gen. Thomas, who is just from Memphis, thinks'that ten more can be formed. . CiiiCiio'ATij May 14, —A despatch to the Commer cial, dated Somerset, Ky., May 13, says no doubt exists that the enemy is in force across the Cumber land. Morgan, with the commands of Wheeler and Forrest, iB at Monticello. All conversation between pickets has been stopped, and affairs wear a stirring aspect. '•. ■ , General Hunter on Colored Soldiers, Boston, May 14.—Major General Hunter writes o Governor Andrew, under date of Port Royal, May 4th, a letter., strongly complimentary of the colored regiments inhis department. He speaks of them as hardy, brave, parent, and obedient, and says that with the brigade of liberated; slaves already in the field, and a few regiments of intelligent colored men from the North, he would place them in a condition to make extensive excursions upon the mainland through the most-densely populated slave regions; and from an expedition of this character, he doubts not that most beneficial results would arise. * • DEPARTMENT.

Our pickets and the enemy’s on Mor ns Island converse freely across the narrow creek which separates them, and'miniature vessels, freighted with tobacco have been often sent to our Bide, with requests for reciprocal cargoes of coffee, the total want .of which the rebels say is a cause of great:discomfort to therm The Sece'shers de lighted m sarcastically inquiring when Charleston was to be again attacked, till their irony elicited questions relative to the prices of butter; flour, and salt in the Charleston market, when the fre quency oi thege interrogatories seemed to induce mem to change the conversation. “Say, Yankee,” was shouted across, one day, “hain’t you most of this war 1” “ No- air- ee. ” responded the Federal picket, “It’sad—d lie!” insisted the rebel; “you’re just as sick oi it as we are, and you know itThe Confederates have or-ected batteries and other Works on the southeasterly end of Morris Island where negroes and others can be seen shovelling daily.: 3 Ci:nci:m,ati, Hay 14.— I The news from General Grant’s army is conflicting, and adds little to what is already known. There is no doubt, that a severe battle was fought at Clinton, and Bowen was de eateck and compelled to fall back on Jackson, and £ i-i tlle rebels reinforcing from Mobile amf Charleston, prudently retired towards the river, where he can have the co-operation of the gunboats. ViAS* i!ro despatch states that Gen. Grant, informed that the rebels at Jackson had been reinforced, had ia)]cn back to the Black river to await a correspond ing reinforcement of his army. At last accounts troops were daily leaving the vicinity of Vicksburg for Grant’s army, and by this time he has, no doubt, ™ sufficiently strengthened to justify a resumption of tlie offensive. Our gunboats have conveyed se veral transports up the Big Black river, and the army is in that way amply provisioned. A correspondent of the Boston Journal, writin froni Murfreesboro, says that the position of Gene ral Eoeecrans is one of great strength, from which he Cannot possibly be driven. It is thought that the rebels will. be compelled soon to attack the lederal army m hopes to fled subsistence for their iorces. .The rebel papers in that quarter are strongly urging to attack our positions, frankly al itging as their justifleation for this course that their granaries and storehouses are now empty, and no mrther subsistence can be furnished his army. The Chattanooga Sentinel says “Bragg has ordered all the wagons and extra baggage to the rear,” which certainly looks as if he is to accedeto the urgent ap peals of the press. “We only wait for him,” says the Journal correspondent,'“confident in a more glorious victory than has yet been gained during the war.” S-Air F&Aireisco', May 14.—Sailed, ship Dashing wave, for Sidney, with breadstuffs; ship National Lagle, for Boston, with copper ore, wool, hides whale oily mustard seed, and other articles of domes tic produce, all valued at sl9o^ooo.

Society, whose large wealth enables it to do those- things with a certain style, purposes to have a commemoration on the 20th May, ©f- the two hundredth birthday of their first printer, William Bradford, by whom, in fact, printing was .introduced into our Middle Colonies generally. Bradford was a native of Leicestershire, England, and came to this city in 1681, with William Penn. He printed i& this city as early aB 1687, but in 1693 wentto New York, where he was appointed Crown Printer, an office which he held for fifty years, and in whah he grew rich. He was also Koyal j&rinter.to flic-province of New Jersey. 2ia fact, h* was. the Epeat printer, a eentury and a quar ter ago, of, the Di&ldle Colonise generally. Special interest is given, to his history as he is tiovo known— though it was, formerly universally supposed that Cotton the Independent minister of Bcoton, was-entitied 'to that honor—-to have first proposed tha-printing -the Scriptures, with the Book of Common Prayer, oh this oentinent.

The London Obso'ver , ih l a pacific article, does justice to President LincoAi’find his advisers, who, it says - , evince sincere and earnest desire to eteltivate the most friendly relations with Great Britp/tn, and avoid giving just cause of offenefe. The Times 1 " city article says?* it is understood that tbe United States Government lias resolved tc’bend an agent to England versed in maritime and inter national 1 lhw, to- co-operate witlr’JVlr. Adams in the consideration of the various questions likely to arise on these points, for the purfiose of a prompt settlement thereof. • The London Qhbe believeß there is-no truth in the report of the intended visit ofthePriiSce and Princess of Wales to the Emperor Napoleon.

A portion of the Russian army has been routed by three thousand Circassians, and the G*rand Duke Michael narrowly escaped capture. The insurgents are said to have been defeated at Ostrowo, and had 1,000 prisoners taken. The Paris correspondent of the London Herald says the conviction- is> gaining in Paris that an avoidance of war with Russia, rests no longer with England and Franoe,.but-with Russia, to decide. GREAT BRITAIN. The Shipping Gozette says fci>e information in the case of the gunboat Alexandra was filed as the first case to be tried in the Court' of Exchequer. Westminster, before a special jury, either at the end of the present term or tarly in the next. The Times' city article says-itis understood that the United States Government has resolved to send an agent to England, versed iuniaritimeand international law, to co-operate with Mr. Adams in London in considera tion of the various quostions-uow arising, or likely to arise, on those pointsbetween the two countries. The object ia to enable such questions,.in all possible cases, to be settled promptly, instead of being subjects of tedi ous correspondence. The Times has remarks-on the subject of maritime rights, and-say*: “Unfavorable as the doctrines regard ing the rights of belligerents appear for our merchants and ship-owners in tbe present position of affairs, there is an unanimous feeling as to the* propriety'of faith fully adhering to them. If America is to have two codes for use while ,we limit ourselves to one, tho precedent must prove fatal to ns. Again, as regards -the Peterbof case, our merchants* feei that it would' be rash, without further proof; to allow a principle to go forth that might, under spoeial circumstances, cause our commerce'to be harassed,and oven suspended, in every part of ..the world. It is-wished, moreover, that whatever may be the decision, wo* are uow to adopt and consecrate, there should, if possible, be something like an explicit understanding that the section of poll ticang in tiiis-country, who are at .present most vigilant’ in insisting upon every advantage being given to the Federal?, are to estimate distinotfyttoe permanent cha racter of the precedents to be established, and they must not at a future time,, under altered circum stances. demand that,, in the interests of peace, we shall surrender our own-and accept any adverse con struction which may then seem amicable. Unless a majority of the public organs- and speakers in America are utterly untrustworthy, it is only a question of time, onlya year or two,- more or loss,.when England will have to call into play whatever weapons she may pos sess; and although it is announced that the people of the United States will not then stand upon nice legal re strictions, it will not be consonant frith our traditions or practice to shift our own views of right, or allow them to be set aside. * Earl Bussell, in reply to Lord Chelmsford, said he un derstood that in future any mails seized by the Federate would-be forwarded to their destination,without break ing the seal upon them. When the Government re ceived = the communication which was to come from the Washington Government, it-would be their duty to con sider what answer they should return to the communi cation. Earl Hardwicke called attention to the fortifications at Spitluad, and pointed out that the Charleston affair loft the value of fortresses against ships exactly as it had al ways been. fceveral other speakers alluded to the Charleston- affair as valuable experience* but the Duke of Somerset said the Government could not at present recommence work at Spithead, having no funds for that object. In the House of Commons, on the 30 th of April, the At torney General, in'reply to Mr. Whiteside, said he could not state when the case of the owners of tho Alexandra would be tided. - Mi\ F. Peel, in reply to Lord Dunpellin, said that the details of the Galway contract would be arranged in a few days. . . Mr. Layard said he had much satisfaction in stating that a despatch that morning had boen received from Lord Lyons, announcing that Mr. Seward had given directions that the mails on board the Ptterhof should be sent to their destination unopened. [Cheers ] Jr tJie House of Lords, on the 30ih of April, Earl Rus sell said that as the question of the Pefcernof and the de tention of Her Majesty’s mails had been the subject of discussion, it might be convenient that he should state the substance of the intimations he had received from Lord Lyons. Lord Lyons siated that in answers to his application Mr. Seward had informed him that the Ame rican Government had determined uot to release the vessel and cargo, but to send them before a prize court. With regard to the mails, in conformity to the letter of the blst of October. they would be forwarded to their destination. Mr. Seward stated that, in. any similar case, the same course would be pursued until some agreement was arrived at upon the subject. The law of nations did not appear to have laid down any precise and clear rule with regard to the practice, which was somewhat novel, of sending mail bags by private ships. Therefore, Mr. Seward was anxious to make communi cation', to her Majesty’s Government on the subject. It was not stated what that communication would be, and therefore it would become a matter for subsequent con sideration , • On the first instantthere was no quorum m tli9 House of Commons, and in the House of Lords proceedings were unimportant. Tie London Globe believes that there is no truth in : the report of the intended visit of the Prince and Prin cess of Wales to the Emperor Napoleon. It is stated tbat the Government have conferred exten sive powers on' the acting inspector uader the Govern ment aci for providing employment, as far as practicable, in drainage and other works for the unemployed cotton operatives.
