There has been a protracted sitting of the Con gress to-day ; indeed the diecusaion is hardly over at the moment of my writing these lines. What I state, therefore, must be taken with reserve, though I believe it will turn out correct in the main. The principal subject of discussion was Article lIL of the project, relating to the Directory, which it is presumed will undergo a very material modification. Instead of five, it will (supposing the amendment to be carried out) consist of seven members ; of these Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria will be the principal, whilst Hanover Saxony, and Wurtemberg would alternately send two representatives, and the smaller states, alternately, two amongst them. The last two points are the principal subjects of difficulty ; and the result is not yet ascertained. L'Europe states that Count do Rechberg has sent, in the name of the Emperor, to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the various Estates of Germany a note, in which are indicated the means most proper to lead to a prompt decision upon the pro ject of reform submitted by the Emperor Francis Joseph for the acceptance of the confederate sove reigns. In this note the Emperor states that the princes, on considerations of capital import, ought to come to an agreement upon the essential points in the programme, and not separate without having terminated this preliminary and fundamen tal work, upon which more than ever the welfare of Germany in her entirety depends. There appears to be no foundation fora statement made in the Frankfort Journal inconsistent with the information which I had forwarded to you, that the Kings of Hanover, Saxony, and Wurtem berg had resisted the project of reform, and that the Grand Duke of Baden, and the Dukes of Saxe- Coburg and Saxe-Weimar ' bad only accepted it under various conditions. Though perfect unani mity can hardly be expected to exist in regard to a measure which morally is one of disfranchise ment, there has been no absolute show of opposition. The august " trio chbres confideris" are doubt less awake to the purport of the old homely maxim, " needs must" when a certain gentleman, who in their opinion would not inaptly personate the Kaiser, " drives." There is just now exhibited in all the print shop windows a group picture of the illustrious members of the Congress, which every passer-by gazes upon with admiration and profound respect. In this composition we see the Emperor, and by some allowable latitude of fancy, the King of Prussia, standing prominently in the midst, the former with a stern aspect and his right arm hugging his feathered cocked hat, the thumb hooked on in a nonchalant manner in his belt ; the latter with his hand on his heart, and looking as if something of very serious import was pealing in his head—head and heart equally a matter of question with him, however. Between these two, in modest perspective, the King of Bavaria, with the confi dent smile of a sharp clever fellow as be is ; and in close attendance upon the three the Dukes of Coburg and Nassau, by no means ill at ease in their function of dancing attendance upon so illustrious a trio ; armed and at a respectful distance, in the rear, stand or sit the remainder of the confederate princes, whose features wear a peculiar expression as of resignation to a disposi tion of things beyond their ken or control. As a whole the picture is excessively striking, and will one day no doubt be of historic interest as a curio sity. The idea it unavoidably suggests is that of a new Van Amburgh surrounded by his wonderful troupe of tamed animals. Do not charge me with unebaritablenees, much lees a disrespect for constituted authorities, in what I have just written. People in England can little understand the anomalous position of the miller princes in this country, who, whilst they lord it mercilessly over their few poor dependents, are miserably conscious of their insignificance when they come in contact ' with a higher order of sovereignty—with something more than the mere princely calling.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1863. it given in the Netter Streliker Zeifneg, and which runs as follows :—"To his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty, at Vienna.—l will obey the high command of your Imperial Majesty, and according to orders will go to Frankfort. With due resPecti do , Frederick William, Grand Duke." The editor points out as the most remarkable feature in this very deferential missive that (in the original) it comprised exactly twenty words, and therefore incurred no extraordinary expense by telegraph. Yet these little sovereigns have still the vanity to endeavour to make up by outward show for their weakness and insignificance in essentials ; they have all come to Frankfort with immense retinues of horses and liveried servants ; and besides these, I with personal staffs ridiculously numerous. Whilst the Emperor contents himself with two aides-de camp, the Grand Dukes of Hesse, Mecklenburg, Baden, and others are attended by from eight to twenty-four each. Francis Joseph is immensely disgusted with this impertinent parade, and in his state invitations and other proceedings of the kind will not recognise more than one aide-de-camp for drhis princeling cousins. But sometimes, in matters beyond his immediate circle, they break out spontaneously, like an epidemic eruption. The other day, for instance, the Emperor went to a review of the Civic Guards, some 700 in number, on the boulevards, when to his astonishment be saw draw up behind him a second corps d'armiSe of some 200 or more fine-looking militaires. Upon inquiring who they were, and what it meant, he was informed that they were the respective " iftat majors "of the princes. Absurdity can no fur ther go ; it already passes the limits of a joke. A recent despatch of M. von Bismarck to Baron von Werther, the Prussian Minister at Vienna, has just been published here. The principal point in this document is the persis tence of the King of Prussia in the proposition for a representation of the German nation, chosen directly by the people. It is considered, as I have already intimated to you in former communications, that the Emperor will not resist this proposal. Indeed, with the command of the "situation" which he under present circumstances enjoys, it is hardly to be supposed that be will allow himself to be outbid by the King of Prussia or any one else in promises of any kind. It is so easy to modify afterwards when occasion serves. The affair with Denmark on the Schleswig- Holstein question seems to approach a point of inconvenience. The vote of the Germanic Diet of the 9th July condemning the royal ordinance of Denmark, tending to place the Duchy of Holstein upon bases differing from those of the rest of the monarchy, and demanding its retractation, you are already aware of. The reply to that demand is anxiously looked for, and cannot be delayed later than the rith instant ; but, according to a special correspondence in L'Europe, its substance is already known, and is not satisfactory. From this statement it would appear that the King of Denmark declares himself unable to con form to the wishes of the Germanic Diet, insists upon maintaining the ordinances against which the Diet protests, and announces that he will look upon any executive act on the part of the Confederation within the Duchy (which they have threatened) as an act of open hostility against his crown and mo narchy. Upon this subject the Congress of de puties, at their sitting on Saturday, unanimously passed a long resolution declaring, amongst other matters, that "if Denmark refused to &g -oods to the resolution of the 9th of July, it became of all things incumbent, unless they are prepared to accumulate disgrace u po n disgrace, to execute that resolution without delay, and with the utmost energy, by sending troops into Schleswig-Holstein," but that " if, on the other hand, the German governments hesitated again in the performance of their duty, the German nation would know how it would be proper to deal with the projects of reform which were offered to it ; and the finest phrases would be powerless to shake the conviction of all, that the demands of the nation were not intended to be satisfied, but that they would he stifled by unmeaning promises." The affair may be considered to wear a serious aspect. DISPATCH or AXWARICAN MARX—The Hamburg and American Company's saw steamship Germania arrived at Southampton on the 25th, from Hamburg, and galled yesterday for New York, with the United States mails, 627 passengers from Hamburg, Havre, and South. amptom, and a full cargo, and in freight jewellery, he., from France, vales 13,500 trance. fa the saloon were 51 pas. amen. In the sewed clam were 115, and in the steerage 461 parasites. A large number of applicatioas for berths had to be refund for want of room. The steamship Ger mania is a new ship, built by Ifeasrs. Caird and Co., of Greenock, of 2,900 toss measurement, and 2,133 tons register, with direct acting engines of 500-horse power by the same firm. On the voyage from Hamburg to this port the Germania averaged, against strong bead winds, a rate of 12 toots per hoar. The =loon is most elegantly fitted up, the sides being adorned with paintings of scenes in Ger. many, England, and the United States, also a piano and excellent library for the use of the passengers. and every. thing that can conduce to their comfort. The steerage socommodstion is exceedingly good, the 'Weep decks being 8} feet high, and thoroughly ventilated. The Germania is commanded by Captain Ehlers, late of the steamship Sims* who is well known and universally respected by all chases of plummier% traversing the Atlantic. This is the seventh steamship built by Masers. Caird for the Hamburg and Ameriaen Company, their fleet now consisting of the Germania, flaxoeis, Bavaria, Teuton* and Hammonia. The five last Denied are of 2,500 toes measurement and 500. horse power. By this fleet a fortnightly communication is maintained between Hamburg, Southampton, and New York.

A refugee had arrived in Washington from Lex ington, Virginia; he reports great demoralisation in Lee's army. Some Mississippian and Texan regiments had left the army to go home, and were driven back by Stuart's cavalry at the point of the sword. Lee's army is almost in open mutiny. It was currently rumoured that Lee had tendered his resignation, and that he and Davis were at enmity. Horses were exceedingly scarce in the rebel army. (ssurn's =sown.) SOUTHAMPTON, AOOIIBT 27. The North German Lloyd's steamship America, Captain Weasels, from New York on the afternoon of the 16th inst., has arrived here. She brings 155 passengers from Southampton, Havre, and Bremen ; 188,500 dollars in specie for England, and 1,803 dollars for Bremen ; a cargo of 1,200 tons, and 80 bags of mails. • **America experienced head winds during the Rest four days of her passage. (Per the America.) NEW YORE, Sootier 11S, Mow°. General Meade is visiting Washington. The Confederate cavalry have captured a Federal signal station near Warrentown. Admiral Dablgren's official despatches represent that there is little doubt of a triumphant result of the Federal operatioas before Charleston. It is rumoured that the 300-pounder Parrot gun, sent to Charleston to be used against Fort Sumter, wast bet overboard at Morris Island. Commander Bell has superseded Admiral Far ragut in the Gulf department. . Numerous guerilla bands are marauding through out the interior counties of Missouri. The British, French, Russian, Spanish, Prus sian, Italian, and Swedish ministers hare left Washington, accompanied by Mr. Seward, upon an excursion to the Northern lakes. Mr. D'Arcy DUG*e has addressed a letter to the Montreal Gazette, stating that the Federal govern ment has erected a new fort at Rouse'a Point, 45 miles from Montreal, with magazines capable of containing supplies for a hundred thousand men, also barrack accommodation for a permanent gar rison of five thousand men. The plan contemplated at Washington for an invasion of Canada is to march a hundred thou- sand men up the district of Montreal, to cut the connexion between Upper and Lower Canada, to ab stain from meddling in local affairs, but to force the separation of the upper and lower provinces by the mere force of the army of oocapation interposing its military barrier to their intercourse. What would follow such a separation has not escaped the calculation of the Federal government. Mr. 14'Ciee urges the appointment of a Crown Prince for Canada, adopting other means for her closer connection with England ; otherwise in the day of need England will only give nominal as sistance. The Canadian parliament assembled on tbel3th. The Governor-General directed the special attention of the legislature to the militia law, which required extensive amendment to make it effective. He asked parliament to sanction the outlay incurred in consequence of the last parliament ending without voting supplies, and also for a pledge for the near sary expenses for the current year. He recom mended the establishment of telegraphic and postal communication between Lake Superior and the Pacific. COMILERCIAL INTILLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Aoauer 14, Evrima. Money abundant.

No such gathering was to take ptace during the forthcoming week, nor was any arch contemplated. A New York paper had announced the immediate cause of the assembling of the alleged conference to be, that news had been received from the South declaring the willingness of the leading Confederates to re turn to the Union, provided terms were offered them. The opinion, however, was becoming general that no overtures for peace on the part of the Southern government would or could be re ceived by the Federal government, while a single rebel remained in arms. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says that under no exigencies will the Presi dent's emancipation proclamation be departed from. The New York Times says : We haves report from Sao Francisco of trouble in the lower counties of California with the Seeemineists who are ' there (tom Texas and other points in the south-west in coa -1 a iderable numbers.

Dear Sir, — In reference to your circular-letter of the 27th April ult., calling attention to the formation and objects of the Vic toria (Australis) Emigrants' Assistance Society of Loudon. I have to lateral you that a preliminary meeting of gentlemen was held ia the meyora room in the town hall of this city rJ.y, at which were present—Edward Cohen, Eq., L.A., the Right Worshipful the Mayor ; and Messrs. the us. P. Fawkoer, ILL.C.. the Hoc. G. W. Cole, M.L.C., the Hoe. J. O. Francis, M.L.A., George Rolfe, Jots King, Reginald Bright. E. F. Sided, O. Stevenson, and E. G.litrgibbon, Town Clerk. There was =premed by the meeting so mianimans teshog of warm Mimeos is the so ciety mid of obligations to the gentlemen who, in come:ion with it, have so Libman, devotel their means and exertions towards the relief of our distressed fellow-subjects, and for forwarding the best interests of this colony, sentiment' which, I may remark, find general expressiee throughout the community. Upon the question of the tone which practical sympathy with the idol te of the society should assume Imre, the °pinkie seemed to be in krone of devising mesas for assist* the immigrant+ upon arrival to find em. ployment profitable to themselves and to the colony, and which appeared to be the more necessary in consideration of the preemie occupations of those who am about to arrive from the cotton manufacturing districts. Thereupon, how. ever, it was observed that a provision is 000taiasd to the Immigration Bill now before the parliament for the constitution of • committee with similar functions. The bill in quistioe, of which I forward a oopy by this mail, has passed the Legislative Assembly, and been agreed to by the Legislative Council with emeoilments. which you will observe are priated in italics, and to which the assent of the Lower House has yet to be obtained. As this con currence of the two houses necessary to the passing of the bill will be delayed by the change of ministry now taking piece, and in the meantime it is advisable to prepare for the arrival of the immigrants mentioned in your circular as to be looked for by the Southern Oman and Robert Small, it was resolved by the meet* that the gentlemen 'resent should constitute themselves a provisional committee, with power to add to their number, and that 1. as honorary secretary, should forward the pre sent commusicatioa to you , by the outgoing mail. The committee further resolved to wait upon the -swam reset, when formed, and learn its inteatioes with respect to the immigrants whose snivel is expected by the ships already named, and as to the oosatitutioo of the committee proposed by the Immixratiou Bill, and also to urge the early transunesioc of the mosey to be appropriated to the pur pose' of immigration, the amount of which will probably not fall short of 150,000 f. per annum. Of the results of such interview and of the further action of the committee, I shall have mush pleasure in apprising you by the next mail.—l are, dear sir, very truly yours, E. G. Frruirsoms, floaermy Secretary.—F. J. ;Leawood, Esq.. treasurer, Vic toria (Australia), Emigrants' Aeursure Society.
