E4t Vrtss. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1863 THE WAR. A °Armin collection of reports from different - well-informed quarters shows the entire strength of 'the rebel' army, on this side of the Mississippi (that 'is of all that is of any use), to be, in round numbers, as follows : Bragg'a army, 76,000 ; Lee's army, • 40,C.00 ; Beam eg ard's army, 20,000; Tohnston's,arrny' , (in rear of Vicksburg and Memphis); 18,000; at Wilmington, 10,000; at Mobile, - 6,000; scattering (i,OOO at Savannah, small forces at Lynchburg, G-or. donsville, and at different arsenals and other points in the interior, in all not over), 20,000, Practically, then, we are confronted to-day by not over one hundred and ninety thousand men. We can meet them with au effective mobile force of, at the very least, three hundred end fifty thousand: WE learn from authentic correspondence that Jeff Davis has signed A large number of blank commis sions, and the rebel Secretary of War has caused them to be boxed up, and commissioned a colonel to Visit Missouri to 'fill 110 the blanks with the names of such desperadoes as will engage to raise guerilla e'empanies to murder the Union men of that State. The agent and messenger, with these documents, passed Through Little Rock, on his way to Missouri, a few days before that city fell into the hands of Gen. Steele. MEMPHIS papers of the lith instant mention a rumor that the rebel Generid Marmaduke had been captured twenty-two miles from Marshall, Tenn., by a squad:of Union cavalry, who were out on scouting duty. Three of his staff were with him; ene escaped, after having been shot in the sword arm. Doubt is expressed as to the truth of the re port. Tan different counties of Indiana are outvying each other in endeavoring to makeAldiers , families Comfortable, and helping the Sanitary Commission. A soldiers' supper, at Lafayette, the other night, netted three hundred and thirty dollars. Carroll county has given two hundred and thirty five dol. lam in cash, and four hundred wagon-loads of pro. visions ; one gentleman in Richmond has given one thousand dollars, and thetas are only examples of what ingoing on all over the State. Tan rebels lately crossed the Rapidan at Morton's ford, in front of Kilpatrick'a line, and captured half a dozen pickets. Sutler's goods to the value of ten thousand dollars were found, where they ware se creted by Moseby, in a cellar at Warrenton, The Empire and the Confederacy. It is the fashion of the _Southern journals to eulogize the Emperor NAPOLEON, and exult at the capture of Mexico and the exal tation of the Archduke MAxismaxix, as a triumph over the detested Yankee nation. NAPOLEON is now the idol of the Southern writers. His name is never mentioned with out enthusiasrit ; his course is contrasted with that of the perfidious RUSSELL, who would not permit the rams to leave Birkenhead ; and he is to be the saviour of the Confede racy. England is false and cowardly; France is just, and true, and brave. Eng land is afraid of the commercial rivalry of the North; pritud, generous France is will ing to risk everything, even war with the Republic, to insure the cause Of Southern independence. Propositions for a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, are con stantly discussed ; and the Confederaefis pledged to aid the Emperor in the establish ment of an empire inoMexico. There is a poetic and perhaps a political consistency in this affection of the Confede racy for the Empire. If there is any coun try in the world to which the leaders of the rebellion can look for sympathy, it is the Empire. There is an exquisite affinity be tween the Empire and the Confederacy—the hero of the coup d'etat and the hero of Fort Sumpter—the usurping Emperor and the usurping President. We are told that when a messenger arrived at the palace of the Two Staines, and told King BOMBA how liberty had fallen in France, and how a person call himself Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE • its murderer .. he embraced the messen l and shed tears of joy. The sympathy between the tyrant of Italy and the tyrant 'of France suggests the sympathy that now exists between the Empire aad the Confede racy. We - read in the history of the one how an adventurer, who happened to bear an illustrious name, obtained nptoriety by ridiculous enterprises, and, finally, by a strange fortune, imperial power. We are told of the oaths he swore—oaths of allegiance and devotion to the Constitution of France —and ho* he promised to guard liberty - with his life and his honor. We are furthermore told how, in violation of thole -oaths, the Constitution was overthrown, the most eminent citizens of France thrown into prison, and men and wo men shot down at noonday on the Boule vards of Paris. The life of the man in power is very much like the life of the man in his effort to obtain powiff. He broke faith with Italy, by refusing to withdraw his fordes from Rome, a refusal which has pre vented VICTOR. EMMANUEL from establish ing the kingdom of Italy on its true foun dation. He has broken faith with Poland, by holding out hopes, that encouraged the Toles to insurrection, at the same time re fusing to give them any other assistance than a cold note to the Prince GonTscrtA xoFF. Ile broke faith with Spain and Eng land, by inducing them to enter into an alli ance; nominally to compel Mexico to ob serve her treaty- obligations, but really to prosecute the conquest of an independent and free people. Mexico. is now at the feet of . .a conqueror, whose victories were at tended by falsehood-and duplicity. Since his accession to power in France, he has made it his policy to crush every high thought and every enterprise that looked to the de velopment of liberty and freedom. It is proper that a man with such a record' should be the friend of JEFFERSON DAVIS. DAVIS has been as criminal in his dealings with the loyal people of the South as NAPO LEON has been with the free people of France. To gain power he has plunged his country into an unjust and unnecessary war, caused the death of thousands of good and brave men, and entailed upon posterity a debt that generations can only pay. He rules now in the most despotic and imperious manner—he has taken away "the liberty of the citizen, placed restrictions on the press, and violated every personal right heretofore insured by the Constitution. His triumph would be the downfall of republican institu tions. It is no wonder that, in a contest of this kind, he should have the sympathies of a man like the French Emperor. Poland. The present situation of Europe illus trates the Shakspearian truth that " the whirligig of time brings about its revenges." Poland, crushed to end a continental war, now threatens to begin such a war in reas serting her nationality. The crime com mitted in.the partition of that unhappy land must yet bear,bloody fruit, and it does not teem improbable that turope soon to gather it. The Polish question is farther than ever from settlement, and diploma cy has only added to the original diffi culties of its solution. The declara tion of Lord RUSSELL, that Russia had forfeited the right lake had acquired to Po land under the Vienna treaty, called forth the reply that if this declaration should be officially made, Russia would consider it a cans belli, and that Prussia would join with the empire of the Czar. It is probable that the British Government will refuse to incur the responsibility of beginning war by officially affirming Lord RUSSELL'S opinion, but the complication into which the great "'mien are drifting is indicated by this eve- sive and uncertain diplomatic correspon dence. If international war is indeed to be the result of the Polish rebellion, it is not Eng land that will begin. Since Lours NAPO- 9 LEON grasped the sceptre of empire, France has led the way into all European wars. Ftfince began the war with Russia in the Crimea, and unless France will lead the war for Poland, it will not be fought. The atti tude of France towards Russia is now hos tile, and the opposition of the two nations is radical, unlike the opposition of England and Russia. The latest intelligence from Paris is to the effect that one of the French marshals is charged with an im portant mission to St. Petersburg, and' 'there is hardly a doubt that the Emperor' desires to make a last attempt to. obtain from the Czar the concessions which hjther to he has refused- to make. Immediately before the war in the Crimea such a direct application was made, and before the wait with Austria, Marshal NTELi 'who it is said will now go to St. Petersburg, went on a similar mission to Turin. If the Polish re beliion is maintained until spring, the pro babilitiou of war will`be almost certainties. The Coining Winter. Astronomically speaking, : we are not yet two months past summer, and yet we are. on the lookout for the season of cold and frost. Winter - will--be upon us before we know it, and whilst we are thinking of In dian summer, we shall smart from her icy fangs. Hailing the winter solstice with mingled sadness and gladness, the seasons of seedtime and harvest are past, and thou sands of the poor, the unfortunate, the im provident, see no chance for making more than a bare living in the ensuing months of rain, and cold, and ice, and snow. The fashionable world is very gay, and strenu ous preparations are 'being made to deduce new pleasnies from old fotintains that are nearly sucked dry. The chief interest of the nation is, of course, concentrated tinon the- war ,and all that appertains' to it Rich and poor alike, in • the eon . ttnaplation of dead and dying soldiers, forget the price of coal, and would gladly relinquish any number of tons' if the iron clads stood in need of them. But whilst our soldiers, - fighting or encamping, are hap py in the consciousness of devotion to the Union, the . gay and the rich, the young and the light-hearted, will be merry at home. Our places of amusement are crowded to over flowing, and all the resources of pleasure are ransacked in search of something new for our Athenians. But the attention which is thus concentred from thousands of minds in the. bell of particular interests only serves-, at the present era, to augment, as much as poisible, the general welfare. There are worlds of brilliant fashion, literature and pleasure, and of art and science, as well as of blood and warfare ; and we are sure, however inexplicable it may seem, they all work together for good, for each involun tarily comprehends and assists the other.. Very many public and private exertions are made to assist the armies who defend us. Even the money which is spent in an hour or two's amusement goes toward this, for the sum which thus goes through the hands of manufacturers and tradesmen af fords a very considerable proportion In the citizen's relief of the soldier. But whilst the brave abroad are provided ft r, and the poor at home are not forgotten, no one de nies that a great amount of suffering that cannot be ameliorated will, necessarily en stie throughout the coming winter. Civili zation has not advanced to that superior stage at which it can administer adequate relief to all who suffer and are afflicted. Foremost as we stand, as a nation, on the plane of humanity and intelligence, the world is yet on too low a level to understand the direct uses of its existence, and in this fate we share. It is to be prayerfully hoped that this winter will not prove a terribly severe one. How to live luxuriously has become a matter of question to the luxurious. How to live cheaply is a subject for serious consideratßin to those in moderate circumstances. And hOw to live at all is ,a question which daily and nightly occurs to those in abject 'pover ty. If in former, seasons, when trial and distress were not so profusely scattered, ex istence became a hard and bitter burden, in -what is trust to be placed .now l Let the rich and the poor respect their mutual claims. Let the soldier and the citizen do likewise. Each who is true to himself aus up his sphere in the pface of the Almighty each in his sphere is necessary to the other. Let all remember this ; so, when the winter has passed, and the spring is come, and the summer is glorious again, there will be a double bond of unity'between the different classes of the commonwealth which render Our Republic as proud as it is prolific. France and Mexico. In the Paris correspondence of the Lon don Times we find a statement 'respecting the condition of Mexico curiously at vari ance with the truth as reported to us from authentic sources. In the„teeth of the fact that the French cannot hold even their pre sent footing.in Mexico, NAPOLEaN has re ceived, or allows it to be believed that he has received, very satisfactory a ccounts from the newly-declared empire. " These accounts," the Times says, "as they appear in the ilfoni tear, present the most flattering picture. Order reigns everywhere, or almost every where ; trade revives ; confidence is re stored ; the taxes come in ; the local militia suffice to maintain order, and JUAREZ, aban doned and fugitive, was on the eve of going on board ship to seek an asylum in some remote land. One report, in the official journal, states that the populations display great enthusiasm for the situation;' that adhesions . come in daily, and that nothing can be better than the spirit of the towns of the interior, and that the few remaining partisans of JuAKEz are scattered in all direc tions.' " If this were so,—if the Golden Age had indeed returned to Mexico,— the French are surprising wonder-workers, and MAxx- MILIAN, who declines taking the Crown until Mexico is thoroughly pacificated, will soon be hailed at Vera Cruz, will soon mount the throne of MONTEZUMA and of ITURBIDE. But, before Marshal FORAY quitted Mexico, he suspended the judicial tribunals, he placed the country under mar tiallaw, and he put down all but his own official press. These facts are mentioned in that official organ, and, therefore, cannot be questioned. They differ much from the rose tinted statements of the Momitettx. There is a case put, in some Paris journal, that, if Me.x.DirmAN . should not go to Mexico, the best thing France could do would be to retain it as. a colonial appanage. This, no doubt, is a feeler, :but the Times' letter-wri ter affects to treat it seriously, and says "Judging from what has occurred in Alge ria, where for years an army of 100,000 had to be.kept, it would require from the vastly' large territory of Mexico at least twice as many. The advantages of annexationwould perhaps not be immediate, but they would come at last; and, however unpopular the expedition has been from the beginnink, the French would most probably feel proud of possessing a great transatlantic empire teem ing with resources." It follows, of course, that we would xot object to this beautiful scheme ! France might be proud of annexing Mexico, but then—the cost ! Especially .as La Nation has this pleasant little announcement : " We have reason to believe that M. Faun's re , port will state that but for the Mexican ex pedition the Budget would show a large • surplus. BUTope i we are mT, Wply rejoice if NAr01.2014 Wouid undertake to make Mexico a French province. His army and his treasury would be so thoroughly drained by the operation, that all fear of hts origi nating an European war would be Net aside. One of the Deputies for Paris opposes the rumored annexation of Mexico, and says that instead of the 30,000 French troops. which now occupy but a small part of Mexico, at least 100,000 wolit'd be required; to hold the country permanently. To show that this estimate is not extravagant, he observes that 100,000 men were actually employed in Algeria for many years, al though the area of the country is eight or more times less than that of Mexico. In this provision he leaves out of the question the probable case of war with the United States, but if only thirty thousand filibusters and volunteers Were sent annually to help JunnEz•in keeping -up a guerilla warfare, he .thinks that a third of the French budget ;would be absorbed in making head against them. To put the case shortly in an econo mical point of view, he says that France has already spent two hundred millions; $80,00C,000, to get back sixty, $12,000,000, and that if she continues the -occupation to get back the two hundred, she Must spend a milliard, V*0,000,000. He calls for the withdrawal of the army of occupa tion without delay.

WAsuniaToN, Nov. 10, 1803 It seems to be understood that : the Presi dent of the United States will take part in the ceremonies at the dedirtion of the Get tysburg Cemetery on Thursday next. This will be the first visit of the Chief Magistrate to the free States since his election. IL will be impossible for him to- extend his tour. The preparation of his Message to the Thir ty•eighth Congress, which begins on the first Monday in the coming December, 'will compel his immediate return. His solici tude for the families of the brave men who fell on the first, second, and third of July last, and his deep interest in the dedication of the great cemetery near Getty sburg,Where the mortal remains of many still repose, have induced him to accept the earnest in vttation of the committee. A very large concourse may be expected on that inte resting occasion, and froin all I hear, many prominent officers and civilians will take part in the ceremony. Mr. Everett's oration or obitnary,•carefully elaborated and prepared, will 'probably be the finest pro duction of_his life. What a wonderful man is Edward Everett ! His long experience .in public affairs, his ripe scholarship, his fervent patriotism, his prudent, arid yet his thorough statesmanship, and his pure and stainless private character,..hav contributed immensely to the honor and to the welfare of his country. I know of no citizen who could so well afford to die this day with the sweet consciousness that his whole career has been but one uusslfish tribute to the good of his race, and to the safety, and honor of the nation. Not to speak k or the manner ill which he has filled the vaous high stations lie has occupied, or of the manner in which he has discharged their most delicate and com plicated duties, his splendid efforts to secure and seal to the Republic the home and the grave of Washington would alone immor talize him. A fitting representative, then, is Edward Everett to speak of the gallantry of the living and the dead who have•made the name of Gettysburg illustridus in American annals. And if anything, more were ne cessary to make =Thursday next memorable in our history, it would be the fact that the greatest philanthropist and .orator of our times will speak to an audience of many thousands, and will celebrate the heroism of braie men with the good, and wise, and straight-forward President of the ,United States, Abraham Lincoln, at'his side. Mr. Beecher -at Home. Mr. BEEC HER deserves the welcome he has received, a welcome not confined to the citizens of New York and Brooklyn, but extended by loyal - men throughout the Union. His services to his country have been great, and no speaker who has visited Europe has equalled Mr. BEECHER in the power and value of his influence. He has given the English nation knowledge of the principles upon which this war is fought, and has gained our cause thousands of honest and influential friends. So earnest and impartial has been his course that even his political enemies approve it. Even the World, which cannot be accused of friend ship for the Administration which Mr. BEEcirEn has vindicated, "thus honorably acknowledges the great service be has ren dered We feel that we but utter the common sentiment. Of the generous part of our countrymen, in express ing our sense of Mr. Beecher's services to the Union cause on the other side of the water. He has, as a general rule, spoken in terms of justice and decorum of his political opponents inthie country, when he has found occasion to allude to them; and in the zeal with which he has sought to turn the tide of prejudice in favor of the Union cause, we recognize the spirit of a patriot. Would to God that always, as in his case, party antipathies could cease at the water's edge, and that every American who goes abroad would feel that he 4as but one country, and that its citizens stand bound to him by the ties of' a common patriotism ! Price of Gas. The conspirapy—for it is all thatl---to raise the price of coal, and keep it high, will affect the public beyond cooking and supply of heat dwelling-houses, stores, and fa tories. The truslees of the public gas works have been compelled to give notice that "the price of gas consumed on and after January Ist, 1864, will be two 'dollars and fifty cents per thousand cubic feet, with a discount of five per cent. if paid within five days after presentation of the bill, subject to the United States tax." The present price is $2.25 per thousand cubic feet, less one-ninth discount for prompt- payment within five days. At present, with this'de duction of one ninth, the price of gas is $1.96 per thousand feet; the new scale will make it $2 35, which is a serious increase. Of course, such an advance will be felt by all consumers. At the same time; it must be allowed that it is not more than circum stances warrant, the price of coal being more than double what it was three years ago. The public must bear it—the railways and the coal vendors grow wealthy out of the public loss. WE would call attention to the communi cation from R M LEWIS, Esq. General Superintendent of the Philadelphia Agency of the United States Sanitary Commission, which will be found in another column. The Sanitary Commission has already sent forward large supplies for the Rich.mond prisoners, and is following up, these sup plies by others. Considerable contributions in money, for this special purpose, have been given to the Commission,in this city. No channel is more effective for relieving the sick or wounded everywhere than this. It is-worthy of note, that at the recent annuarTheeting of the Commission, held in Washington, it-was estimated that the sup plies already distributed by it, since the commencement of the war, amounted in value to the enormous sum of seven Mil lions of dollars. The Late• Hugh Cathenyood, Esq. Mr. Catherwood, whose mortal remains will be interred in the Woodlands Cemetery, this after noon, died on Friday at the advanced age of 11 He was a native of Ireland, born in the county of Lon donderry, and emigrated to this country in 1811. Steadily devoting himself to mercantile pursuit', he realized a handsome independence. For some years Mr. Oatherwoon partner in business was his nephew, Andrew 0. Craig, Esq , (now of 138 South Front strent,) but latterly one of his sons -has been associated with him in _that respeCt. His three other sons, one of whom is Andrew J. Catherwood, Esq., of the Select Com:toil, are in business, persevering and successful. Mr. Hugh Catherwood bore his age well, and was as active as most men of fifty, until about seven years agcy whe'l heWV/i9 I`sigr`3•bplle by being thrbin out of his carriage, the iii effects of which accident he felt to the last. Careful, sensible, and prudent in business, Mr. Catherwood merits being held in memory as a Philadelphia merchant who, whatever tempests shook the business status of others, had never put hie hand so far out that he could not draw it back. He was steady and honest in his dealings, and intelligent in social life, and de servedly happy in his domestic relations. Public Entertainments. Miss .Tottermi Clx.iussErt, a S wise soubrette, said to be an admirable artiste in burlesque, mill make her first appearance, in America, at the Clhestaut street Theatre, on Wednesday, the 25th inst., play ing on the oft nights of Mr. Forrest. The lady's portraits are prepossessing, and her features have the spirit of comedy. THE GREAT NATIONAL CIRCUS is very popular, and its corps of riders, tumblers, dancers, clowns, and gymnasts is, complete. The performances are varied nightly. There are some comic mules, tee, in the ring. Comib mules are a rarity on Market street, where melancholy animalh are so often seen dragging loaded can. FORREST.—We are gratified to announce that Mr. Forrest has again engaged to perform in Phila delphia during the season approaching new year, and will appear next Monday evening. His return to our stage, the scene of so many of his best triumphs, will be welcomed cordially. All his active years have been years of fame, which still keeps meridian. His old laurels have not faded, and he is winning new ones. Du. ring his coming engagement we shall witness his greatest qualities in a larger sphere ofcharaoteriza tion. Judging .from cotemporary criticism, his new impersonation of Coriolanus is among hia noblest conceptions. This character belongs to his drama tic nature, just as he also belongs to Lear—charac ters in which our greatest actor is inseparably united to the grandest drama. From the fact of Coriolanus alone the season will have sufficient in terest. - Mn. Guam's New Italian Opera Company has been singing in 'New York, and Brooklyn, with de cided success, and his artists- - have great merit--if • We may depend upon the enthusiastic praise of the New York papers. On next Friday and Saturday evenings, concerts will be given at the Musical Fund at which Madame Vera Lorini, not the Vir ginia Lorini Who sang here last winter, will• make her abut in this city. Brno Pauline Oastri will also make her first appearance,' with Morensi, a charming contralto, Signor Siefani, a' tenor, very favorably known, and Morelli, an admirable bari- , tone. these concerts should be unwmally fine. We hope the programme will not only be without the usual hackneyed and familiar airs, but that it will combine and give full effect to the talent of these, 6lntnenf 634144 THE PRESS.-PHILADELPI3.4,, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1863.

Things did not last long in this state, the rebels soon thinking it advisable to, retire. I could not learn whether any one was in jured, or whether any cotton wan destroyed. About thirty shots were fired during the made. DJ. learned from a friend who came this morning from the Union Depot Station, about twelve miles from here, on the Mississippi and Chi Railroad, that a force of Confederate cavalry bilOnging to Richardson's command, under Colonel Tom Log wood, were scouring the country . and corisCripting every man who could be of the. Slightest value, in any way, shape, or manner, to the Confederacy. It matters not who or what they are, they are all gob bled up. Among those conscripted yesterday was Mr. H. L. Middy, formerly one of the editors of the Memphis Daily Argus, A rumor was prevalent in Memphis that Mar maduke had been captured twenty-two milesfrom Marshall, Tenn, by a squad of I:fnion-cavalry, who were out on scouting duty. Three of his staff were with him ; one ran the gauntlet and escaped, after being shot in the sword arm. There is doubt ex pressed as to the truth of the report. I give it for what it is worth. The crew of the Allen Collier, which Was burned by guerilla's at Whitworth's Landing, with the gen tlemen who chartered her, arrived here this morn ing, on the little steamer Saline. They confirm the Particulars as I despatched them • yesterday - These , gentlemen and the crew were all liberated ; but the captain of the gunboat was carried off by the guerillas.

A forage train of twenty-one wagons had been sent out with a guard of twenty-eight men. The wagons were loaded, and started for the Gap, with no appearance of danger; when suddenly a party of seventy gue rillas rushed from a convenient ambush, overpow ering the guard, and compelling a surrender. The officers' clothing was immediately transferred to rebel hacks, and their wallets appropriated. Ten minutes after the capture, Col. Lemert, command ing the forces at the Gap, appeared in a bend of the road. Whilst the rebels, ignorant of danger, were ap. proaching, Colonel Lemert immediately led ^the charge with ten men of the 4th Battalion Ohio Vo lunteer Cavalry. A tierce hand.te.hand sabre fight occurred for a few minutes, when the rebels left the field in a most acoelerated manner, severely whipped and terribly frightened. The train and prisoners were recaptured, eleven of the enemy captured, two killed, and four wounded, and some small arms and horses taken.

The Morning Post thinks, from the discussion which took place on the above occasion, that the law officers of the Crown entertain but feeble hopes of setting aside the verdict already given. But if, sass tbe Post. our municipal law was not violated, weliave still to decide whether or not our interna- tional obligations were disregarded. The latter is a 'location for the Legislature, and the former for a court of law., The Loud Times says that, unless technical diffi culties impede the proceedings, it is likely that the law relating to the Alexandra and the rains will be shortly zetticd, and it trusts "that the decision of tt e court will effect such a settling of disputed points ae will remove - any just cause of complaint, with out unduly restricting the industry of the country. If iron-plated , rams are constructed here with the moral certainty that they will proceed to run down Federal merchantmen, without ever going near a Confederate port, it is time to arrive at a distinct knowledge of what the law is that bears upon the subject."

Advises from Rome also announce the proxlinati arrival in the capital of the Prince of Wales, King Louts of Bavaria ; the Queen Dowager of Naples, all d the Duchess of Luchtenburg. VIENNA, Oct. 25.—The Pressc of today publishes a leading article upon the above subject, of which the following is a summary : "The Vienna correspondent of a Hamburg paper `gates that the Austrian Government, in case of execution against Denmark being really carried out, intends not only to employ land troops, but also to despatch a considerable portion of its fleet to Protect the North German coasts against the uncertainty of a blockade. " Six heavily.armed and six lightly-equipped Aus trian vessels are to leave the harbors of the Adriatic, sail around Europe - to the German Ocean and the Baltic, and there support the action of the Federal troops. "Now, this all reads very nicely upon paper. There is something seductive in themotion of the Austrian ships guarding the mouths of the Elbe and the Weser in the northern seas, and fulfilling the task which, in virtue of her position as a Baltic Power, is incumbent upon Prussia, so proud of her purely Getman character. Romantically constituted minds might get up an immense enthusiasm as to the exe cution of the plan, and the appearance of the Aus trian flag in Northern and Baltic waters would not fail to produce a certain effect upon the cool and calculating temperament of the North German population." The writer goes on to observe that, looked at from a national point of view, the undertaking presents a different aspect. In the first place, the question in dispute between Germany and Denmark does not necessitate war. "Federal execution is an internal Getman affair, and no international quarrel. Den mark is the debtor, whom Germany compels to cash up, and, as Denmark is solvent, Copenhagen will not let matters come to execution, despite all war like clamor. "A fuither difficulty consists in the unfavorable season of the year for naval operations. Austrian ships could In no case at present enter the ice cover ed-Baltic, and where would be the wisdom of bring. ing them a long voyage to guard coasts not menacedl While the question of execution is the only topic in dispute, Denmark cannot have the slightest pre text for threatening German commerce, and the Federal Diet would hardly feel disposed to meet the expenses of so objectless an-expedition. "Another consideration would be whether the small naval force Austria could spare from the Adriatic would be able, in case even of undoubted war, to hold its own. against the Danish fleet. However high' en opinion the Austrians may entertain of their own excellence, it is hardly likely their hlaf dozen ships would be able to cope successfully with MOO _Danish guns. "Lastly, Austria has her own interests to look to in the Adriatic, and taking these into consideration, it is extremely- doubtful whether she could spare even so small a naval force as the:Hamburg papers mention from her fleet in Italian waters. It would be the strangest of a strange policy," says the Frew, " to'leave our own coasts defence less and pall upon Lk .. .fool's errandlinto Northern waters to play the knight errant for others' benefit and be unable to look after ourselves." - BROMBERG, Oct. 22,—The Kalisch correspondent of theTromberger Zeitung says': "The remnants Of TaczanowskPs cavalry, Which collected alter its defeat at Kruazyna, in three de tachments, under the leadership of Shipski, Pizyby tetTiel ape NitlicZeWiCZ; 'united alter the defeat, Pizybytowices baud, at the commencement of the month, under Shipski, removed to the western die- Wil t some 400 strong.

They overtook them in a wooded plain. between the villages of Skomlin, Czarow, and Kizywmzek, near Wielau. A hot en gagement ensued, lasting nearly six hours, and ter minating in the defeat of the insurgents. Their loss is stated. at' 120 killed and wounded, with about 00 prisoners. The remainder of the dispersed corps took the direction of the waywodeship of 'Cracow, where it will probably unite with the detachment of Chunelinski. Oct..Wausaw, O 25.—Among the persons arrested yesterday, said to number 12a. are many of the chief men in Warsaw. The majt o - . , ty made acquaintance two ~ years ago, under Kryzauowskihi regime, within the dungeons of the citadel, with Tobalsk, and other Aided() parts. Among them are Bialebrzeski, who closed the churches two years ago while hating as Archbishop ; was sentenced for that order, by court martial, to death ; had his sentence commuted _into tranapoitation to Tobalsk, and was afterwards set at liberty ; the well-known and highly esteemed clergymen, Wieznski and Sleek! ; the Jewish preen,. er, • •Krametuck ; the photographer, Baser, and many moi e. Others who now fall into the hands of the police for the first time, are : the banker, Joseph Rawl= ; Newfeld, the editor of a Jewish paper; Julius taz, the wealthy and much respected.proprietor of a candle factory ; Kaliseh, the largest Warsaw cabinet- Maker ; Advocate Milewski, and others. - The ex citement occasioned by these arrests, all carried out in a single night, may easily be imagined. It was reported - at first that the Saxon consul and banker, Stanislaus Lester, had been attested.` It seems, however, that he was only confined to his residence during the night, andtillowed free egress the follow 'ing morning. The seals have not yet been removed from the consulate. Advice' from the Lublin district eportthatth e insurgents under Kruck have succeeded in annihi lating a IlUssion ' division, but doubts of their cot , rectness may fairly be entertained. The official Dzrennik. publishes nothing but an account of 'Russian victories. Thus, according to this organ, the Russians, searching ' the forests in the district of Gostynin, captured sixteen insur gents, among them the . 'former district chief and superior of the " Hanging gene d'armes," Paulinski, who was summarily condemned to death by court martial and hanged. According to the same au thority, in the district of Wlodanok, the Russians have seized four chests of rifled muskets; TV pairs of long winter boots; 10 saddle sabree,lso uniforms, 3,000 gorgeta, and 48 rebels.

The Liverpool Courier has the following particu lars of the seizure of the rebel rams in the Mer sey, already announced in our telegraptdo de• spathes : "Inquiry shows that the Government has been taking most extraordinary predautions to prevent any attempted departure of the rams, On Tuesday afternoon her Majesty's Steamship Heron arrived in the Elersey, And took up a position in. front of Messrs. Laird's dock, in which the least forward ram, El Monastir, is lying. The Heron did not anchor, but passed her cable through the side of the ferry buoy, so that it might be slipped ate moment's notice, in this position she now lies, with her tires banked and steam up. , Marines were landed and sent on board El Monastir; Messrs. Laird's work. men were order ed oft the vessel. which remains in th e exclusive possession of the marines. NO one is allowed on board, and the workmen's tools have been sent ashore, About the same time en MM. tional force of marines was eent on board the other ram, El Toussoun, and all the workmen, with their tools and appliances, were ordered ashore. In her case, also, no one is permitted on board. The gun boat Goshawk continues to be moored ahead of the ram. "It is understood that the iron•plated frigate Prince Consort is on her way to Liverpool, but it is difficult to ascertain whether this is correct or not. The authorities are very reserved, Her Majesty's steamship Majestic is already in the Mersey. These hostile preparations created much consternation, and it is believed that Messrs. Laird deem the seizure altogether illegal. The other vessel seized by Government, the Alexandra, still lies at the Toxteth Hock, Liverpool, under. embargo. Her ease will come betore the Court of Appeal early in the approaching term." A ORALLY:NOE TO -MASON The following card appears in the London 11orn in9 Star: 1 ' " to the Editor of the Star : " SIR An influential gentleman has just written me referring to an article in the Morning Star of this day. He suggests that a challenge be pre sented to Mr. Mason and Colonel Lamar, or to any other Southern ailvecete of slavery, to follow up the late Exeter Hall meeting with one on their side. He proposes that we should offer them a free stage at the hall for this purpose. I shall be glad to learn from Mr. Mason, who is lingering in our country, and from Colonel Lamar, or either of them ' if they are willing to meet in fair discussion, on a London platform, and before a London audience, an anti slavery opponent and champion of the constitution al government of the North as opposed to slavery and rebellion. a The advocates of the North and of freedom have obtained the victory a thousand times since the war commenced in public meetinga all over the country. We are now prepared for discussion. The American question cannot remain in its present position. "Is Mr. Mason, or some Southern champion as his nominee, prepared to accept a challenge? I shall be glad to hear from him on this question. I will use my best endeavors to arrange for the conflict, so as to save him or his friends harmless from any ex penee, and to find an antagonist for him or any Southern advocate worthy of our-weapons and of their best steel. We will have no packed meeting. Tickets obeli be obtained at a hundred ditferent places in the metropolis. We will suffer no rowdies of any description, no Liverpool savagery, but such a fair conflict as a free Englishman loves. I await Mr. Mason's reply. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, FEED.

THE MEXICANS IN FRANCE The Paris correspondent of the Morning Sidi" writes " The Mexican consuls at Paris, Havre, and Bor deaux have ceased to represent Mexico. Until their successors shall have been appointed, the consuls of Guatemala will act in their stead. Madame Al roonte and her children have at last left France, In stead of proceeding to Mexico via St. Nazaire, they will go by the Southampton route. bib sooner had the Mexican expedition sailed from Brest than the Almonte family retired from French society, and their compatriots residing in Paris retired from them. But shortly after the de parture of the Archbishop of Mexico from St. Cloud they emerged from the shade, and assumed a style of living which, if it becamethe family of one of the Triumvirate ; Lap not reflected favorably on General Almonte, who, when in France, strove to pass for an icconuptible statesman whom Juarez hail len. dered penniless."

History shall not tell that the last of the Olden bourge parcelled out Denmark. If, however, in the course of time we must succumb, as being the weakest, and France and. Sweden permit the most Southern province of Scandinavia, the old Jutland ofthe south, to share the fate of Galicia, of Poland, and - of northern Italy, by being overpowered and suppressed by German Governments, then I will de scend from the throne and will proclaim the repub lic. I passed three years of my youth in Switzer land ; I have studied the laws and institutions of that country, and I am convinced that no people in Europe is more fitted for the republican system than my dear Danish people."

Mr. Conway, in his last letter to the Boston Cow mamma/Hi, has the following paragraph in relation to the credit of Southern travellers in Switzerland : Mr. Sumner's declaration concerning the friend ship of Switzerland for the North, has had some amusing illustrations during the past travelling sea-: son. It seems that there have been a vast number of persons of both sexes travelling there, and that they were met by most distressing iniagivingsin the minds of hotel keepers as to their ability to pay. At Lucerne Some Southerners wrote their name on the hotel registers very grandly, and the "Southern States" from which they hailed, and were informed that it was their invariable custom to require South erners to pay in advance; they indignantly left and went to another hotel and were told by the landlord that he was more liberal to Southerners than others, and would let them have rooms if they would show him the color of their gold ; indignantly they rushed to a third and were told' that alaveholders were not allowed there, whether they could pay or not. What assurances have occasioned this loss of pecuniary credit in, Switzerland I do not know ; but I have heard on good' authority that the Southerners, to the number of twenty or thirty who were travelling there in the summer, at last patched up among them selves a kind of communist establishment, owing to the insulting , suspicions and persecutions of the botel keepers. • • . DRAFT EXEMPTIONS --rtie - enormous number of drafted men:who escaped military duty by reason of physicarinflrmity has produced a change in the re gulations of the Provost Marshall General A new list of causes of exemption is published; in which the catalogue of available maladies is considerably reduced. Near-sighted men, who flattered them selves that their deficient eyesight formed a perpe- ' teal bar against the imposition of military obli gations, are suddenly . and hopelessly bereft-of the consolation derived from the infliction of" myopia ;" for, under the new rule, myopic individuals who are really too near-sighted for effi cient feld•service are to be transferred to the In valid Corps. "Near-sightedness does not exempt," is the stern deoree of the marshal ; hence, spectacles will not be so popular hereafter. Fat men, however, who are proverbially jolly people, have a new cause for - good humor ; for it is ordained that abdomens grossly protuberant," or "excessive obesity," are sufficient for exemption from any draft whatever. It is likely that nutritious food will be in great de mand for the remainder of the winter. Imbeciles, in sane, epileptic, and paralytic persons are of course exempt, but the Het of maladies through the posses sion of which a drafted man may evade duty is now so closely restricted and defined that the next draft will probably produce a larger proportion of ser viceable soldiers than the Jest. Examining sur geons are also required to report the number of men rejected under each of the fortpone sections of the new set of regulations ; from which it is to be in ferred that a very curious official record of the com parative soundness of American constitutions may hereafter see the light. —N, Y, Post.

To the Editor of The Press: Sue : At tbe meetingof Councils, held on Thurs day last, the following Thursday was appointed for the election of three directors to represent the city in the company for the ensuing year. The city is at present represented by Messrs, Craige, Megarge, and David Salomon. The two former gentlemen are- Democrats of unquestioned loyalty, and will probably be renominated with little opposition. Mr. David Salomon, however, is known to enter tain political sentiments of so obnoxious a charac ter to all loyal men, that we trust, for the sake of the credit and interests of the city, he will not be continued in hie present responsible position. Mr. Salomon, previous to the outbreak of the war, was a resident of the South ; and has been in close af filiation with many of the moat notorious Seems MOD sympathizers of this and other States. When Vallandigham last visited this city, none had so warm a welcome for the audacious traitor as Mr. Salomon, not even his Siamese friend, William B. Reed. Surely this is not the character of man to represent the interests of the loyal city of Phila. delphia in the most powerful corporation in the coun try 1 The position is too important and responsible to be entrusted to doubtful hands. In the progress of the war, the Washington authorities may find it requisite to take military possession of the Peansyl vani% Railroad ; and Government secrets too often trarepire, even when left to the keeping if Toyai men. How long could Mr. Salomon keep a ffovernment secretl A remembrance of his connection with the McClellan•Woodward letter suggests a con& elusive answer to the question. The requisite qualifications for the trust referred to are sim ply loyalty, intelligence, and prudence. There can be DO acceptable eubetitutes for these qualities. That a man should fire off a salute in his back yard in jubilation over the fall of Fort Sumpter, and the desecration of the stars and stripes, is no doubt greatly to hie credit, as showing how independent he can be of public opinion ; but it is hardly an ade guide recommendation for the office named. That a man holding office under a municipal government that has expended over four millions for the support of the war, should invariably refuse, ` when asked to subscribe a single dollar for the purposes of the war, or towards any of the hospitale and sanitary commissions of the city, may entitle him to some credit as an economical business per son ; but it would never be cited to the cre dit of any humane or charitable gentleman. That a mar., in times of public peril like these, ask lug to be elected to a public office the first requisite of which is loyalty, should make the defeat of the Union armies an occasion of rejoicing, and should be seen but in the company of disloyal men, is all very well, as showing an original -turn of charac ter, and a nature that can be genial when all other natures are sad •, but it is hardly a guarantee of fit ness for the office of director of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Therefore, when a Southern adventurer, with no better claims than these, has the self assurance to ask for such a position, his re quest, we think, should be'" respectfully declined) , I am, sir, yours ; truly, L.
