£T , Situation Abroad. .
Napoleon’s proposed Congress, atwliich
England seems to kave shied, is to re
adjust the map of Europe— to substitute
the boundaries of 1864; tor those of 1815.
’ The objects to be discussed in detail are the
'.retention or ‘surrender of Venctia by Aus
tria, and of Nome by the Papacy, the un
settled condition of the Transylvanian
provinces, the recent transition in Greece,
and the contest -waging between the oppres
sive power of Russia and -the revolted
patriotism of Poland. The possession of
Italy by the Italians is the real difficulty.
"While Vcnetia remains an appanage of
Austria, there is no knowing when war
may break out in Europe. We can under
stand Poland’s being separated from Rus
sia by arrangement, but Austria must get
a tangible quid pro quo ere she can part
with the last shred of her Italian property.
Once that Yenetia goes by the board,
Austria cannot be depended on for fur
ther sympathy with the Pope, and might
even be politically desirous of seeing him
Simply “Head of the Church”—spiritual
ruler of the Catholics of all nations, but
no longer a temporal sovereign. Of late
years, Austria has been palpably lukewarm
a? to Catholic politics.
That Austria' should desire to retain Ye
netia is not surprising. That part of her
empire came to her, at the close of the last
century, by an act of cession made by Bo
naparte, who had captured the Queen of
the Adriatic." The province of Lombardy,
which joins Yenetia, was a much older"
appanage, for it had been annexed, from
Spain, in HOG. The Treaty of Yienna, in
1814, confirmed Austria in possession of
. Lombardy and Venetia. The first she has'
lost by the Italian war of 1859; her conti
nued tenure of the second i 3 uncertain; but
no-one doubts—scarcely the Austrian Go
vernment itself—that, sooner or later, the
whole of Lombardy and Venice will form
part of the Kingdom of Italy. The
question will be—what compensation shall
Austria receive for the surrender, and
• where ?
The settlement of the Polish difficulties
may finally be made with less trouble than
present appearances would lead one to ex
pect. The Emperor Alexander may close
•the matter by giving the Poles the constitu
tion and the status which was guaranteed to
them by the Treaty of Yienna. Or he may
•declare Poland a Kingdom, with one of his
own family on the throne. Or, he may allow
the Poles that separation from the sway of
Russia which they so ardently desire, and
allow them to choose their own mode of go
vernment and their ruler. On this third
supposition being realized, Russia would
expect an equivalent in territory, and might
not disdain, as a step towards Constantino
ple, to annex the Christian provinces of
Turkey—a Power which is as much “ a sick
man,” as in 1853, when the Czar Nicholas
proposed to Sir Hamilton Seymour that
England should join him in administering
to the “ goods, chattels, and landed heredi-'
laments ” of the moribund Sultan.
Indeed, the gossip of the saJons of Paris,
ever since the Congress was proposed, has
been that Napoleon has sounded Austria
.to ascertain whether the placing of the Arch
duke Carl or the Archduke Louis ("young
er brothers of the Emperor Francis Jo
seph, and of the Emperor-elect of Mexico ),
upon the throne of Poland, would be ac
cepted as an equivalent for the surrender of.
Yenetia. If it were so accepted, and Po
land. were allowed to resume her place
among the nations, that Bussia should find
-an equivalent in the Christian provinces of
Turkey ; and that, to compensate France for
making the arrangements, Sardinia, which
is conveniently south of Corsica, a' French
possession in the Mediteijranean, shall be
transferred to Napoleon, even as Savoy
and Nice were after the Italian war. Napo
leon, it will be remembered, never cham
' rnTV.Vinnf. ccpttj«.g paid, for it.
What England would say to sucii cmotko
new edition of the map of Europe becomes
a serious thought. The close alliance of
France and Russia, which was the object of
the Treaty of Tilsit, more than half a cen
tury ago, would threaten the peace of
Europe. The Treaty of Yienna arranged,
as men thought, to prevent such a combina
tion-r-the results of which might make Con
stantinople the Southern capital of Bussia,
and allow Napoleon the Third to realize his
uncle’s dream of occupying the throne of
Egypt. Napoleon must be backed by
some great Power, The close alliance with
England is evidently weakened, and France
may think it expedient to have Prussia on
his side.
The contingencies so freely discussed in
the salons of Pari#, ("probably the matters
have been agitated, by imperial command,
as feelers,) may appear improbable. But so,
twenty years ago, did appear any chance of
Louis Napoleon, then a captive in the for
tress of Ham, of restoring the Napoleon
dynasty in his own person, or of Italy. then
crushed beneath the iron heel of Austria, of
recovering her life as a'nation, by force of
arms, - and of being free and prosperous
under a constitutional native prince. In
• politics, nothing is impossible.
We should have said, a few days ago,
that if England declined assisting, nothing
.would come out of the proposed Congress,
and that England would so decline. But
the new and difficult complication caused
by the Grand Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-
Augustenbourg claiming Schleswig-Hol
stein, as his hereditary territory, from
Christian IX, the new King of Denmark,
may drive England into taking part in the
hew Congress at Paris. The claimant is so
Strongly backed by some of the German
. Powers that a war of succession seems very
likely to arise, at once. If it does, Europe
jnny be drawn into it.
Me. Fernando Wood probably wished
to expose.the weakness of his party in ofier.
in g his peace resolutions in Congress yester
day. His wish is gratified. How could
Democrats even vote for the dishonor of the
Government, especially after the reading of
the Message of Jefferson Davis, and its
assurance that no peace will be accepted by
the rebellion that is not based upon dis
union? The party that would purchase a
contemptible peace by the sacrifice of the
national honor was never weaker than now,
and Mr. Wood probably knows it.

Special Despatches to The Press,
Washikston, D. O.) Dea. 14.
Senator Wilson's Bill to Increase the
Bounty*
Senator Wilson’s bill to increase the bounty of
volunteers gives to those who shall re-enlist, having
served nine months, and having been honorably dis
charged, or to those who may have less than one
year to serve, the sum of four hundred dollars,' and
three hundred dollars to all others.
It authorizes a premium of twenty*five dollars for
the enlistment of veteran, and fifteen dollars for any
other volunteers. The bill appropriates twenty
millions dollars for such payments. It regulates the
pay as follows:
The sergeant-major of eaoh arm of the service. .$23

cers of artillery...

The negro soldiers are to be equipped and paid the
same as other soldiers.' .
All drafts from the militia of the States are to be
proportioned everywhere to the number of persons*
liable to do military duty, taking Into account the
number previously furnished.
Senator Hale’s Bill to Suppress the Itc-
hellion.
Tbe bill of Senator Hale “ to more effectually
suppress the rebellion ” is to the effect that hereafter
all persons within the United States bl America are
equal before the law, and all claims of personal
service, excepting those founded in contract, and the
claim of a parent to the services of a minor child,
and service rendered in pursuance of a sentence for
the punishment of crime, be forever abolished; any
thing in the Constitution and laws of any State to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Enlistments In the Wavy.
Senator Grimes’ bill to facilitate enlistments in
the navy proposes to give the same bounties as re
ceived by volunteers in the army, and exempts from
military draft engineers and other minor officers en
gaged in the naval service. .
Reported Removal of Gen. French.
The ststement that Gen. Frbhoh had been re
lieved from the command of the 3d Corps and placed
under arrest- Is Incorrect. A difference existed be
tween Gen, French and the Commander-in-chief,
la consequence of the withdrawal of a large number
of the troopß of his corps and placing them under
command of Gen. Warren, the junior corps som
msnder of the army. A portion of Gen. SKnct
wick’s corps was also sent to reinforce Gen. W,\d
ren, but we do not learn that Gen. Sedgwick, who
is the senior in the Army of the Potomac, made any
complaint.
The Weehatvken.
Official advices from Charleston show that the
loss of the Weehawken was the result or the grossest
negligence.
National league.
The National League, before its adjournment,
voted that the committee which "waited upon the
President should hold over till the .next meeting,
meantime prosecuting its mission.
Senator Henderson.
Senator Henderson," of Missouri, has arrived,
r.ml evinces a disposition to aotwith the Republi
cans heartily on all important questions.
Tile Reported Death ofGeneral Comonfort.
The report of General Comon fort's death is not
credited at the Mexican Legation; but, should it
prove true, it will be a terrible blow to the national
cause, as General Comoxfort was one of the
bravest chieftains Mexicans ever fought under. ,
Jiaval Captures. ,
Washington, Dec. 14.—The Navy Depamsnt
has received information of the following captures:
On the 27th of November, the schooner Two Sis
ters, Acting Master Rockwell, captured the Eng
lish schooner Maria Alberta. She was cleared from
Havana, for Matamoroa, but was endeavoring to
run the blockade at Bayport, Florida. Acting
Master Rockwell is especially recommended by
Rear Admiral Bailey to the careful consideration of
the Depaitment.
Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Baton, command
ing the steamer Circassian, reports that on the
morning of the 9th inst., in latitude 32 deg. 48
min., and longitude 78 deg. 3 min..,'he captured the
English steamer Mina. She was taken withoiit a
chase, as she was under the Circassian's guns before
being awaie of it. An attempt was made to sink
her by her officers, but it was prevented. She is an
English built vessel of 900 tons burden, and was
rated *‘A ;No. 1 11 for ten years at Lloyd’s. Her
cargo consists of pig and hoop iron, vitriol, hard*
ware, borax, dry goods, and powder: also a propel*
lor and shaft, and other parts of a marine engine.
Her papers could not be found. They had probably
been thrown overboard. Sufficient, however, has
been found to prove that she was from Nassau,
N. P., bound to some Southern port—Charleston in
all probability, as she had a man aboard who, Lieu
tenant Eaton has every reason to believe, is a
Charleston pilot. A prize crew has been put aboard,
and she was towed to Hampton .Roads, After re
ceiving repairs,'she will be sent to Boston.
The United States gunboat Kanawha captured, on
the 29th of November, the schooner Alerta or Wi
nona, off Mobile Bay. She had been awaiting an
opportunity for many weeks to escape from Mobile,
and was captured scon after crossing the bar.
She had neither log-book nor custom* house papers.
The supposed owner (Boyd) was a p&ssengsr. Her
cargo contists of cotton, rosin, and turpentine, and
is very valuable. About fifty-five hundred dollars
in specie was found on the passengers, and also a
large amount of railroad bonds. The money and
bond* have been placed in the keeping of Acting As-
Paymaster Penniman, of the/KAnawha......

Rules In the Army.
"Washington, Dec. 14.—Accounts from the Army
of the Potomac say that a topographical recon
noitring party, sent out some days ago to perfect
cur maps of the region north of Culpeper and along
the base of the Blue Ridge, as far as Spenyvilie and
Little Washington, returned to camp on Friday,
The officers accompanying the expedition state
that they encountered no enemy in force, but fell in
•with several small squads of partisans, all belonging
to the 6th'Virginia Cavalry.
"With the exception of the farms immediately on
the lines of the principal routes, all the houses were
well stored with the necessaries of life, such as
meats, poultry, and breadstuff's, with a sufficient
supply of forage to winter their scanty stock herds.
Considerable complaint fcaOeen expressed by
regimental quartetMfefcidrs of the present scarcity of
stockings and underclothing, and they attribute it
to dereliot contractors.
Leaves of absence are freely granted to officers
and men for short periods.
Reports arc prevalent in camp that Longstreet
hits succeeded in effecting a junction with Lee, but,
after due inquiry, they cannot be traced to any relia
ble source.
The following rules at present control trade in the
army:.

NEWS FROM, THE SOUTH.
Affairs at Fortress Monroe—The Speech of
Foote in the Rebel Senate—The Charge
of Starving out Prisoners—The Monster
Northrop.
Foutbxss Mohsoe, Dee. 13.—Steamer ,New r
York arrived last evening from City Point, in
charge of flag-ottruce officer Major Mutford.
General McDowell arrived at Fortress Monroe
thla morning, via Baltimore, and had a-lengthy In
terview with Major General Butler to-day. ,
In the rebel Congieea, December Bth, Mr. Foote
expressed great Indignation at the course pursued
by Jell'. Davis. When Pemberton dishonorably Bur
rendered Vicksburg to the enemy the President
made him hia companion and carried him to Bragg’s
army, where, as he rode along, soldiers were heard
to say, “ there goes the .traitor who delivered us
over at Vicksburg.” '
The President never yet visited the army without
doing itinjury—never yet that it was not followed
by disaster. He was Instrumental in the Gettys
burg affair; he instructed Bragg at Murfreesboro;
he has opened Georgia to 100,000 of the enemy’s
troops, and laid -South Carolina liable to destruc
tion. . ■
I charge him with havißg almost ruined the
country, and will meet his champion anywhere, to
discuss tt. Would -to God he would never visit the
aimy again, &c. A certain Commissary General,
" who was a curse to our country, is Invested with
authority,to controlthe matterof subsistence. This
monster, Northrop, has stealthily placed our Go
vernment in the attitude charged by the enemy,
and .has attempted to starve ihe prisoners in our
hands,.
From the Ist to the 2Cth, meats were Tarnished the
prisoners very irregularly and in a meagre manner.
For twelve days the supply was inadequate, and
for eight days they had none at all. This Commis
sary General, says Mr. Foote, was a pepper doctor
down in Charleston,'and looked like a vegetarian,
and actually made an elaborate'report to' the Secre
tary of Avar, showing that for the subsistence of a
human Yankee carcass vegetable diet was the moat
proper. For the honor of the country, this Nor
throp should be rejected at once. Mr. Foote say s
in regard to taxation that he believed an ad valorem
tax essential. ' .
Tee Richmond papers justify the withdrawal Of
the permission granted to us to feed our soldiers in
their hands, upon the ground'that, it has subjected
the rebel authorities fb'insult from “a nation ol
liars.” The Examiner says the Union officer* at the
Idbby~ intended to celebrate their captivity by a
splendid dinner on the Bth inst., to which members
of the rebel Government are invited- This is pro
bably false, and an exaggeration of the fact’that our
soldiers wished to unite their rejoicings over getting
something fit to eat from home. -r .

Whereas, In tbe opinion of this House, the Federal

press any resistance to the due execution of the laws
thereof, and to employ the army and navy, in aid of the
civil authority, to disperse all armed resistance to the
rightful power of the United States; and
Whereas, In the judgment ot this Bouse, tho army
and navy cannot be. rightfully used to subjugate and
hold, as conquered territory, the States in this Union;
Therefore be it
Resolvecr, That in this national emergency Congress
will forego all feelinss of mere passion or resentment
and Will recollect only itR duty to its country, And
that ihis war should not be waged on our part in any
spirit of oppression or subjugation, nor 'or the purpose
of overthrowing the established institutions of a State,

' Further Particulars in Reference
to the Refusal of the Rebels to Receive
Supplies for Union Prisoners.—The Rev. Mr.
Torrence, who, in company with Dr. Clement C.
Barclay, proceeded to City Point, Virginia, arrived
in Philadelphia* yesterday. We had an interesting
interview with the gentleman. He says that he had
a long, or, in fact, several interviews, with Captain
Hatch, who represented the rebel authorities, in
reference to. distributing articles of food and
clothing to -the Union prisoners at Libby
Prison and on Belle Island. The rebels re
fuse to receive anything but money, which they
say shall be deliverers directed, and receipts re
turned, to Bhow thatthishas been faithfully attended
to..
Mr. Torrence‘speaks highly of the character of
Capt. Hatch as a gentleman and humane man, and
is sure that money sent to the Union prisoners will
be£promperly handed to the partiesjto whom it may
be directed. The most sympathetic appeals were
made in behalf of our suffering men, but all*to nq
effect.

moral character should be sent to the prisoners,
would they be forwarded t” -
To which paptaih. Hatch replied, “ No.^
“Well, sir,” replied Mr. Torrence, “auoha course
on the part of the Confederacy will make a hundred
thousand men in the North anxious to enter the
Union' army, who now feel indifferent.”
“I'expect as much, of course,” replied Captain
Hatch. ? . •
“ How is it that you sent one hundred and eighty
men, with stomachs scareely as large as your

“Tiiat,” replied Captain Hatch, as a tear started

The Southerners would prefer gold beiogsent, or
they-have no objection to V. £•; Treasury notes,
this. will be exchanged- for Confederate scrip, and
the scrip'Will to the prisoners, with which
they may buy food at the market rates in Richmond.
It is understood that the premium on gold will be
allowed the prisoner® in the exchange for Confede
rate scrip, -
By this arrangement the gold would necessarily
flow into the rebel treasury, while* the people and
the prisoners would not bs.ye anything but Confede
rate scrip for business Yery little gold

of New Yorkyexpressea himself as having full con
fidence, that, with the above understanding and ar
rangement, tba* rebels will certainly distribute any
money that majbe sent. The Major Bays-that genu
ine Confederate* money-had better be sent if it can
be purchased in the North, but great care Bhould
be taken that the purchaser be not imposed upon
by counterfeits. An instance of this kind camfe to
light.- A father* hod purchased a $lOO Confederate
note for $l9, and sent it. It was returned in the
same letter because of it bodng counterfeit. This is
what people must guard against.

Chaklks New Christmas Stctet.—
By. annual custom, a breach of which the world
of readers would never pardon, Charles Dickens is
sues a Christmas number of his popular “ All the
Year Bound.” Opinion is usually divided as to his
own portion of the authorship. Cunning oiltlca
speculate upon the particular portions which be
may, might, ought, could, or should haye written.
On these occasions me, too, have our opinion—which
we wisely do not mention. No doubt “ Boz"
writes a portion, and suggests and corrects the
whole. This year, the Ohrifltmanbox is called
“Mrs. Lirriper’s Lodgings,” and iu divided into
seven parts, Tor talcs. Of these, one is strongly
sensational; the rest belong to various classes. We
suspect that the introduction has been written by
Dickens himself; it is true and touching. The
whole, making forty-eight octavo pages, BO° d PM> er
and dear type, and price only ten cents; has been
published by Harper ft Brothers, anil is on sale at T.
B, Peterson’s.
P&tsheow’b Bauk-koth Counterfeit Dr-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET. *
There was a very quiet feeling on Third street to- day.
Gold was inactive, money plenty, and bußiueas dull-
Gold opened at and continued with but little va
riation to the close’:* Money was freely offered at six per
cent., and the bulk .of operations was made at that
figure. The stock market was steady, though nn“
chanted. Reading was moderately active, advancing
;£,closin g 59?£©K; CatawUaa was active,closing steady;
North Pennsylvania Railroad was steady, closing a*
24>2@25: Pennsylvania Railroad declined Schuylkill
Navigation, both common and preferred, were Bteady at
yesterday’s quotation; Little Schuylkill declined
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad was somewhat stronger
than yesterday, closing at 29&@30; Lebifh Coal Com
pany was steady, with no change; Amygdaloid Mining
by degrees works its way in the market; 00 shares Bell
ing to-day at 25; Minehill sold at 61, an advance of about
JS. In Passenger Railways and Banks there wa3 nothing
done, excepting small sales ofßpnice and Pine at 14,
A- ch at 30, aad Race and Vine at 19.

CITY HEMS.
A GRACEFUL AND VALUAnLH PRESENT.—
If cur readers wlio are now spending money for
holiday gifts will reflect a moment, they will see
the propriety of 9101719 things or substantial and
enduring value to the recipient. Of thfa oharaoter
the most elegant and acceptable article is the Sew- -
ing Machine, and the one to select, for a. hundred'
reason* that we. might name, ia the “Wheeler &
■Wilson,” sold at 704 Chestnut street—beautiful
waxtn lady in the window. The “ Wheeler Sc Wil
son” is, beyond a doubt', the’best machine in ex
istence. Wherever it has been exhibited in com
petition it has come off victor; thousands of fami
lies in this city and elsewhere endorse its unrivalled
merits, and numerous applications are made to the
agenlf almost daily to exchange other njachinea for
the Wheeler Sc Wilson. Persons,-therefore, who
are buying machines for presents,Should go to
headquarters.(7o4 Ohestnut street) and get the best.
Ladies are taught in the use of these machines,
gratuitously, whether purchasing or not. Allma
chines sold at 704 Chestnut street are warranted, and
kept in repair free of charge; In their Sewing De
partment they are prepared to do all kinds of family
sewing at the shortest notice. They have also a
splendid line of ready made garments constantly
on hand for sale. "Upon the whole, the Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine Establishment, No. 704
Chestnut street, is such an institution as our citi'
zees may . well feel proud of. Strangers should not
think of leaving the city without visiting it.
Reduction in tub Prick op Fine Dry Goods.
—For some yeais past the popular old house of Eyre
& LanddU, at Fourth and Arch streets, have been
accustomed to making liberal reductions in the
prices cf their fine dress goods, more especially at the
approach of the holidays, in order to enoourage .the
laudable praotice of making useful ChrUtmas and
New Year’s presents. In many cases the “reduc
tions ” we see announced are merely nominal, but
the habit of the firm here referred to in this particu
lar corresponds with their straightforward mode of
doing business throughout. Their reductions are
tangible, as we found yesterday, in gratifying our
curiosity in their Dress Goods department. There
are few stocks in the country so rich aad varied as
this, and at the prices they are now sailing we
deem, it a matter, of public interest to advise our
readers to examine it before purchasing their pre
sents. Among other things offered at greatly 're
duced prices, are fashionable Silkß, expensive Long
Shawls, gorgeous Piano Covers, Balmoral Skirts,
Handkerchiefs of all kinds, Merinos, Poplins, Table
1 CloUis, and Housefumishing Goods of every descrip
tion.
Fair in Aim of the Citizens* Volunteer Hos
pital,—A fair in aid of this praiseworthy institu
tion commenced, at Concert, HalJ, yesterday, to re
main open a few day a. The display, refreshments,
et cetera, are deoidedly inviting* and we'hope the
public will favor it with a generous patronage.
Fair at the First Bartist Church, for the
Benefit or the Sick and "Wounded Soldiers,—
Among the various' r&ligious societies that have
taken a patriotic interest in the soldiers who are
fighting the battles of the Union, there has been
none more energetic or consistent than the First
Baptist Church, at Broad , and Arch streets. We
have now the pleasure to announce that a fair, for
the above object, under the direction of the mi*sion
axy Society of the Sunday Schools connected with
this church, will open to-morrow (Wednesday) eve
ning, at that edifice, and continue every d*y and
evening until Saturday next. Arrangements have
been made, so that persons shopping for presents
will find this an admirable place to select them.
The uniform. good taste and success which charac
terize everything of this character undertaken by
this congregation, is a sufficient guarantee that the
forthcoming fair will yield a handsome sum for the
soldiers, aa we sincerely trust it will.

A Grand Feat. The “ Florence ” . Sewing
Machine, manufactured by. the Florence Sewing
Machine Company, at Florence,, Massachusetts,
and sold in this city by their Agent, Wo. 630 Chest
nut street, has for .some time past been known to a
few of our oitazens as the best, and in all respects
the most desirabl^Sewing Machine ever given to
the public. It was not until recently, however,
that the Company were wifo g g to wge its claims
'in the market. And yet, notwithstanding the com
parative newness of this enterprise in Philadelphia,
•the Florence Machine has already far outstripped
all competitors; so much so, that if it was fa the
power of the agent to supply the demand at the in
stant, there would scarce be any other machines
sold. On the principle of rotation, the first appli
cants get their machine first. Those who desire to
“get the best,” therefore, should apply at No. 630,
with the least possible delay.
