It has been noticed that, though the foreign correspondents of some of the New York papers are full, and even diffuse, upon the rumored transfer of a large portion of Mexico to the Emperor NAPOLEON, the Paris and London journals, with one ex ception, are very reticent on the subject The first intimation, it will be remembered, came from Ban 'Francisco, confessedly from an agent of Mr. Gwrri . , who is said to entertain a desire of taking some sixty or seventy thousand American emigrants into the northeastern provinces of Mexico. The agent's first report was that MAXIMILIAN had ceded these provinces to Neromox— their extent being equal to the whole area of all the Territory held by France in Eu rope and abroad—and that Mr. Gwnt, ex- Senator of California, had been created a Duke of the Mexican Empire, and was to be made Viceroy of the Franco- Mexican territory, which, to say the least of it, seems strange, for NAPOLEON would scarcely repose such a trust in an Ameri can, who knew next to nothing of Mexico, and bad already proved a traitor to his own country. Immediately after another bit of intelligence reached us, conveyed in a let ter said to have been written by an anony mom American merchant in Mexic to the effect that the territory ceded to NA POLEON -was all that portion stretch ing from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, and forming the only southern boundary of the United States. Lastly, a communication from Paris assured the lieges that Sonora was the only Mexican province which Narornolt intended to oc cupy, until MAXEMILIAN paid him some sixty or eighty million dollars, cost of establishing the Imperial throne f Mexico, by French blood, arms, and money. It was added, that so far from NAPOLEON -having the slightest idea of converting Mr. Gwrit into French viceroy at Mexico, he did not contemplate placing him even in the inconsiderable position of Prefet, and bad already deputed General FRANCOIS- Acratax, BAZAINE, created a Marshal of France last September and perfectly at home in Mexico, to administer the Govern ment in Sonora, whit( that province re -mains in French occupancy. This last rumor has a certain air of probability, for :it is known that NAPOLEON wants to win a foothold in Sonora, washed by the waters , of the Pacific. Few, whom inclination or necessity com pels to study foreign politics, can form or receive the idea that NAPOLEON, once oc cupying Sonora, will ever part 11th it. His organ of acquisitiveness is very large, and his policy is to increase the foreign territory of France—honestly, if he can, but to increase it at all events. He took Savoy and Nice as payment for the aid he gave VICTOR Barm - Arrtria. in 1859 ; he sub jugated Lower Cochin China on a mere pretext of humanity, and is building up his sway there as if he thought he could estab lish- a rivalry with British India, and he certainly will establish himself on the shores of the . Pacific, now that he has such an excellent opportunity. We are free to confess, in the words of the old adage, that "we would rather have his room than his company," for he is not a very desira ble neighbor. The policy and the principle of NAPO LEON'S government ie acquisition of terri tory. The amour propre of France is greatly gratified by the expansion of the empire, and NA.roLum, who has studied the French character, exaltshis own power and the national pride by increasing his colonial possessions. He holds on to Al geria, of course ; he has obtained posses sion. of Lower Cochin China ; he has es tablished the French Government in New Caledonia ; he keeps a sharp look-out for opportunity of firmly setting down his foot in China and Japan, and there is now, it is believed, the acquisition of having Sono ra as a French Colony. It may be nomi nally held until the Mexican debt to France is paid off, but no man in his' senses ex pects to see that heavy score wiped off. If Marshal BAZAINE should be entrusted with the vice-royalty of Sonora, he will enter on - the office with a certainty that it will con tinue a French province:_ A. year ago, when a discussion took place in the Corps Legislatif of Pais, on the. Mexican and Chinese expeditions, one of Narouton's ministers took occasion to lay down the policy of the French Govern ment. He said : "We must not let our country - remain in the rear of other na tions. A great - country like France re quires to plant her flag on some point, and , when one has done so, one must, for the security of her subjects and the protection of her commerce, declare that one is deter mined to defend it." This is the principle of a brigand, if personally applied, but when proclaimed by a nation obtains the gentler title of " progressive policy." By this principle, Sonora is likely to become PrenOh, but NAPOLEON would find no diffi culty in justifying any spoliation. All we care to pronounce uponit now, with imper fect posseasion of the facts, is that if N. 4.- roulani obtain any settlement in Mexico it Will be permanent, and that he is about the worst neighbor the United States could have near its southeastern frontier. No doubt, he will take - advantage of our pre -sent war to nullify 'the Monroe doctrine. Let us be once again an united Republic— and .this must soon be the - case—and NA POLEON may find <it more difficult than he imagines to make good his place in 50..1a0111. ..1a0111. - Military Condition of Europe. It: it were safe to 'put trust in appear. 'sioei,-it might be assumed, from what is taking place in EnropU, that there is no intention of disturbing the peaceful Fele tions of the leading sovereignties in that part of the world. In France, the war budget for 1865 has lyen greatly diminished, and the number a troops mustered in for active seryice considerably reduced. In Italy, nearly 90,000 men have rimeived their discharge, and more than !lOC officers have been placed on half pay. In Bp#ln, in consequence of 'the determination to have done with Bt. Domingo, the.military force will be brought down to a peace establishment. In Russia the army is to be reduced by nearly a fifth. Austria would curtail her military outlay, if she could, but. Prussia, not yet. done with the ex- Danish Duchies (which she desires to add to her own territory, or, at least, bring under her own authority), is augmenting her army, and even trying to. raise a little naval establishment. There may be a de sire, too, for maintaining a military force sufficiently large to overawe the people, who, it will be - remembered, were dup posed to be on the eve, before the Danish war commenced, of sending the King of Prussia into exile, because he insisted on raising, a revenu-s, and, foolishly spending It on his army, contrary to the wishes of his Parliament. Austria, to preserve the balance of power in Germany, cannot con sent to the, ex-Danish Duchies being ap propriated by Prussia, and must maintain a full war establishment in order to prevent this patent robbery. •As for England, while Mr. GLADSTONE declares that too much money is spent on _"the defences of the country," and that this alone prevents his fuither reduction of taxation, the Duke of Cambridge, as commander-inchief, pro tests against any diminution of the army, and Lord CLARENCE PAGET, representing the Admiralty, plaintively points -to the immense and available fleet which we have improvised in less than four years, and murmurs out a sad anticipation of Eng land's deposition from the boasted sove reignty of the, seas, should events unhap pily occur to bring the American iron-clads in collision with the lumbering "wooden Walls," whose glory has departed. 50 00 ......

B. Purrrs, Keeper of her Priity Purse, expostulating with and reiroving them for " the increasing number of accidents' ' upon their respective lines. She calls upon them to use every precaution against accidents, " those misfortunes which are not at all the necessary accompaniments of railway travelling," and concludes by reminding them of " the heavy responsibility they have assumed since they have secured the monopoly of the means of travelling of al most the entire population of the country." The last sentence is clumsy, and might easily be made more grammatical, but no one can deny its significant truth, which, we take leave to say, is applicable in other countries besides England. 5 00 1 00 100 00 5 00 24 00 . . 100 20 00 A leading London journal, commenting on the Royal missive—for it is the Queen's letter as much as if she had penned it with her own hand—admits it is well-timed, ju dicious, and calculated to have weight with those to whom it is addressed. Bat it is complained, by the English writer, that it is not only unusual but almost unconstitu tional for Queen VICTORIA. to place herself, in this direct and personal manner, with the railway managers, and that—Royalty being essentially an abstraction in England she ought to have employed some mem ber of her Government to have given a few hints to the railway folks. Now, a com munication directly from the Queen herself is more likely to have weight with those to whom .it is especially -addressed than if it had reached them, diluted by •the verbiage of the Circumlocution Office, in the official shape of a Minute from the Board of Trade (the department which governs railways,) or an Order from the Privy Council or the Cabinet. VICTORIA has done well in sending her letter directly to those whom she in tended to reprove and caution. 4t the same time, there is something in the wording of the document which is not quite satisfactory. It , states : " Her Majesty is aware that when she travels extraordinary precautions are taken," (as they ought to, be for a lady who likes to fly along at the rate of sixty miles an hour, the ordinary express rate being only forty to forty-five miles,) but she does not see why this should be the exception "it is on account of her family, those travelling in her service, and of her people generally," that she wishes the railway people to be more careful. First, her family—say a dozen folks ; next, people in her serviCe—a few hundredi ; last, and least to be considered, the remaining 80,000,000 who constitute the population of the British Isles. These grades appear selfish, but may not actually be so. The fault is in the English system, which sets up the Sovereign and the Royal Family, as the salt of the earth, and the people as born to support and obey them. • purLAD - F.T.T.nre .yesterday was buried in snow. Snow-ploughs on the principal streets cleared the rail tracks so-that they could have been used by the cars, but walk ing was a very difficult task for men, and almost impossible for women and children. The result was the practical imprisonment of citizens in their houses. The Legisla ture should require the cars to run on Sun day. It is discreditable that fifty-two days in the year the people of so large a city as this should be without ordinary means of travel.

Hatch has been in active service since the beginning of the rebellion, and he has won an enviable repu tation. He shared the perils and glories of Grier. eon's celebrated raid down to New Orleans-Andeed, he has fought in nearly every battle which ha's taken place in the Southwest, but his hardest fights were those of Shiloh, Corinth, Inks, Franklin, and Nash- Three or four times he has been wounded ; once very dangerously. General Hatch Is now spending a brief furlough with his family in this ally. He is as modest as he is brave, accomplished, and patriotic. At Nashville, where Hood was so badly beaten by Thomas, General Hatch command ed our cavalry, and the important duty of turning Hood's right was entrusted to him. He discharged the task with consummate gallantry and address. CORELCTIONB.—The name of Jeanie G. Ab• bott, 806 North Seventh street, was printed in our income list as having returned $450 income.

THE ENEMY EASILY REPULSED. Results of the Late Movement. —lir. C. Edmunds.— (Special Correspondence of The Press.] • CITY POINT (Va.), February 9—P. bI. - About dark last evening unusually heavy artillery firing was heard in the direction of Petersburg. I am informed that it was occasioned by the fact that about that hour the rebels made a charge upon our works opposite Meaden3 Station, with the supposed design of endeavoring to penetrate our lines. There was considerable cannonading for a little while, and musketry-firing likewise. The rebels were, of course, readily repulsed, for our works are as for midable as those of the enemy. From the fact that the audacious movement was so speedily abandoned+ it seems likely that it was not a serious attempt to break our lines, but more in the nature of a recon noissance, to see if such an attempt would be likely to result successfully. The rebel lines environ Petersburg almost in & circle. Previous to the late move our men were about equt distant from them everywhere except on the left, where the. two armies were furthest apart. By the recent advance we have curved up the 2d Corps so as to gain four miles, and make the two hostile armies more nearly concentric. Another im portant point gained has teen ti?

CEDecial CorreePondence of The Prase.] HiIdDQUARTBREI Eirs AMU , COUPS, February 9,1805. Great as has been the comment in army circles upon the purpose and timeliness of the late move ment, all agree in ooneedhog that it has been com pletely successful. The success is one of considers. ble importance, The movement has reedited in an extension of our lines for nearly six miles in a southwesterly direction beyond their former limit. Our forces, besides being somewhat nearer the famous Southold° road, can more readily cooperate from their advanced position with any movement from the Atlantic coast against Richmond. Per haps the diversion which oar recent operations have created in favor of Sherman Is even a more Important result than tie mere lengthen frig of our lines. As Sherman moved steadily nearer and nearer to Charleston, like a devastating angel of progress, it has been generally believed that Lee would endeavor to send troops enough to the assistance of Hardee to enable that famous do nothirg tactician to successfully resist, if not beat back, the approach of the foe. The Confederate GeneralinChhif darenot spare a man from his de fences now; his lines are narrowly watched by a wary enemy, and every crevice will be crept into, as the unopposed advance ctf the ud Corps into a vacant cy left in front of them to-day will testify. That our men are to occupy the lines which they have recently established is very plain from the fact that preparations are already being made to build camps. The sth Oorpo went out on Sunday morning in lght marching order, the men having been told to take nothing with them except their arms and ao coutrements. ThIS order has been the subject of much complaint' mong them, for it hasnecessitated their lying huddled around the camp fires with no protection save their overcoats, and an occasional gum blanket, from the cold and pelting rain. To. day, however, the wagons of the Corps went back and forward, almost in a continuous stream, from the old camp to the new, conveying the canvas roofs of huts, knapsacks, blankets, plates, knives, forks, spoons, and the thousand and one other ar tioles whioh the soldier has gathered around him to contribute to his comfort.- The 2d Corps, in moving to the left and advancing today, having left a vacancy on their right, part of the 3d Division of the 6th Corps moved into their empty huts, a considerable distance to the left of the old post. Much ill feeling has been created between this corps and the sth by the circumstances of Monday's fighting. The mon of the sth Corps allege that when they were retreating the 6th Corps, filling the breastworks behind and to the right, fired two vol. Toys into them, and killed nearly as many of their men as did the rebels. They also allege that the 6th Cape failed to support them as they should have done, but fell back in disorder without having met the enemy. To this the 6th Corps defenders reply that the retreat Of the 6th was so disgraceful that, •as the only way to stop the rout and prevent its ex tension to other portions of our lines, and involving the army in a 'great disaster, they were ordered to Are Into the fugitives, and that, as far as the charge of retreating is concerned, the only men of their corpsyho fell back were those who became mixed up with the sth Corps men and were borne book by them... It is a pity that such quarrels Should arise be. tween soldiers. Both of these corps have-proved their bravery on many a weitcontested held, and any charge of oowardioe against either of them is worse than foolish. The sth Corps undoubtedly did fall into a panic and break, bat to their honor be it said, that although, while it lasted, the reign of fear was appalling, yet the disorder was quelled In a very short time, and the men were soon in position again and ready to meet an attack. All who re member the gallant services of the 6th Corps In the valley of the Shenandoah will be slow to attach any credence to an allegation of timidity against them- There is really little cause for this breach of feel ing, which should be healed as soon as possible, for it Is demoralising in - its effects. Preparations are being made along our lines tore. pel an attack which is momentarily eapeotel A hot reception awaits any raiders in these parts, as any one inspecting the big guns In the forts will readily believe. The soldiers look with great anxiety for latest news of the movements of Sherman; Intelligence from Ms army has almost as great an Interest for them as from their own. Every one is on the alert to hear of the capture of Charleston or the defeat of liardee, both of which events are soon expected. ILINIGiTLTION oromonesas. muted.

He is a soldier of the regular army, and, recognising both elements 84 essential to the overthrow of the rebellion and the preservation of the,Unionfhe has risen above all prejudices and partiality, arid acts with reference to what is right and just. Under snob. a general the Army of the James will not fall to make blight er its record in the campaign so soon to be opened. The report, which for some time has been in tiro- oulation, that this army is to be united with the Army of the Potomac, Is received by oftioeni and men of this Command with the greatest disfavor. None are more severe-in their condemnation of this proposed union than those who have served in the Army of the Potomac. - The officers all say that, having left it, they never want to return to it again. As the rumor goes, Gendral Meade is to be relieved and General Sheridan is to command the united armies, all of which the readers of The Press may take for what they are worth, themselves estimating their value. _ W.

The Tennessee river 10 now the Beene df the great est activity. The gunboats are constantly patrolling between this point and Paducah. Everything that Is found along the hanke of the river that the enemy could make any use Of in crossing—boats, rafts, or flats—is destroyed. Transports are arriving and departing daily. There are now so few rebels In the vicinity of the river that convoys are rarely thought necessary. Last night a large number of transports arrived. The whole number here now is about tweniy-five or thirty. The troops are already embarking; grain is being shipped, and wagons and mules taken on board. Everything indicates a general move of Thomas' whole army. It is suppoped he is going down the Bliseissippl. This is the only way the army could possibly make a move (we mean on boats), for the roads are in the worst possible condi tion. We rode over to General Wilson's headquar ters, at Gravel Springs, a few days slue, and found mud, almost every step, to the horseslknees, and wagon wheels constantly sinking to the hub In the miry gulleyS. The weather, for the past two opeets, has been very disagreeable and unfavorable for the army. First we had snow to the depth of two inches, then rain on that, storming for days together. At one time, and that when it was very cold weather, the troops had nothing fa the way of bread but corn. This they boiled and parehed, and had nothing else for a week., Their hard tack finally arrived, and they are now living very well. The health of the army Is regarded as very good. The same may be said of the fleet here, with the =option of a few oases of mild smallpox, which, hoisever, lave been ooetlned to two vessels. the extreme right of the army IS at this point ; the left wing at or near Florence: Hoed, at last accounts, was moving south. His mon were desert ing by hundreds. Admiral Lee has gone down the 'Mississippi, per haps as far as New Orleans. The . itindliest feeling and heartiest cooperation exist between the army and navy. Our late district 'commander, Captain Shirk, United States Navy, has been ordered to the Philadelphia Navy Yard. We wets ail very sorry toles. him. The Inhabitants along the river hpre are generally in a destitute condition. Their A3l°thing hi very peor .; many of them are shoeless." Money (green backs) seems to be more plenty with them than any thing,bie. We Lave seen salt, time and :wain, sell for $35 a barrel, and several times for $l5 # bushel.
