The wisdom of the new military policy of the Confederates, that of collecting their widely scat tered forces and combining them to arrest the ad vance of the Federal armies,has received a striking demonstration. The capture in succession of the fortified positions of Shelbyville, Tullahoma, and Chattanooga by General ROSECRANS, and the sub sequent occupation of Knoxvilleandall Eastern Ten nessee were events which made it imperatively ne canary that the Confederate Government should give its beet attention to the means of checking the Federal army of the Cumberland. ROSECPANS had become more formidable than Means. By seizing Chattanooga and Knoxville he bad severed the northern line of communication between Lee's army and the South West, and he waaevidently operating with the intention of getting hold of Atalanta, and with it of the only remaining railway connecting Richmond and Montgomery, the present and former capitals of the Confederation. The Richmond Government applied itself with great skill and industry to defeat this object, calling in and concentrating their forces as they did after the loss of Fort 'Donnelson. For the present they have succeeded. It remains to be seen whether they have done more, and to any extent regained their footing in Eastern Ten nessee. We know by caviler advices that great movements of men were taking place all over the Confederacy in the 'scud week of September. Regiments were drawn from Alabama—all imme diate solicitude for Mobile having ceased upon the departure of the Federal army of the Gulf for Texas—and from JOHNSTONE'S former army of the Mississippi, and sent to join the Way retreating army of BRAM Further and more•important reinforcements of old troops were sent from Lwe's army, advice, from the head quarters of ROSECRANS, dated two days before the battle, speaking of the presence of Ewzu.'s and LONGSTREET'S corps in Georgia as an ascertained fact. General ROSECRANS learning that BRAGG had withdrawn to Lafayette, in Georgia, about fifteen miles south-east of Chattanooga, appears to have advanced in that direction, and to have taken up • position on the Chickamanga creek, separated from the enemy by the Pigeon Mountain, the three gaps of which were held by Baron. After several days' skirmishing BRAGG having oompleiml his pre parations made a grand attack on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 19. It would be an unprofitable task to attempt to construct out of the conf used and hurried telegraphic reports a connected and accu rate account of the battle. The topography of the mountain region is obscure and complicated, and the whole significance of the movements is not ap parent. We are told that the Federal army was assailed simultaneously and with great fury on both flanks, the combat being maintained for several hours with varying fortune. The first crisis of the battle appears to have been an attack made on the Federal centre at two o'clock in the day, of course with the design of cutting the army in two. It was partially successful, for the centre was driven in, and made to retreat in disorder. The Confederates were, how ever, arrested in their pursuit, and were in turn themselves driven back. General DAVIS'S divi sion, attacked by the Confederates, suffered severely and lost several guns, but afterwards retook them all. That of General REYNOLDS, similarly attacked, held its ground. General Palmas's division lost two guns. General Vas Ctzvz's division was driven from its position and did not regain it. When darkness put an end to the battle, it is said generally that the two armies occupied the same ground as at the commence ment, the Federal' having taken more guns than they had lost. On this day it is evident that BRAGG had failed in his object. He must have Buffered equally with his enemy, and he had gained no appreciable advantage. The second day's battle had more important re sults, highly favourable to the Confederates. Baaoo, massing heavy forces on his own right, made an impetuous onslaught on the Federal left, completely overpowering THOMAS'S division, and compelling Rosecaaws to march four divisions to his support. Upon the Federal centre, thus weakened, and before the battalions composing it could form, BRAGG hurled two divisions, whose impetuous charge broke it, and threw it into disorder. By these operations the important end was gained of dividing the Federal army. THOMAS'S corps, cut off from the main body, was unable to effect a junction, but later in the day rallied two divisions, with which it withstood the enemy until nightfall, and then, according to orders, retired to Roseville. General Roexcussse fell back on Chattanooga, where, at the last advice., dated the evening of the 21st, he was concentrating his troops. It was doubtful to what extent the Con federate general was pursuing his advantage. Taomss had not at that date reached Chattanooga, although Roseville is only eight miles from that place. Bcausree was stated to be advancing from Knoxville to join ROSE MANS with 30,000 men, and to be within six hours' march of Chattanooga. The Federal general was said to be full of confi dence, and in ability and resource he is not sur passed by any commander on that continent : but it is to be borne in mind that he is operating in a very difficult country, in a mountain region, and at a great distance from his base. His future movements will depend almost entirely on his ability to effect a junction with BITINSIDE and reunite the divisions under THOMAS to his army. Should he succeed in this endeavour we may expect to hear of his renewing the battle with a fair prospect of again driving the enemy before him. Should he fail, it is not easy to see how he osa kid the line of the Ten nessee. The news by the next mail, therefore, is likely to be more important than that now re ceived. The honours of the battle of the 20th belong to General Bitsaa, but he must do more than he has hitherto done if the Confederate cause is to gain solid advantage from his sword. trbe Court. BALMORAL.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. PRUSSIA. It may be remembered that, after the dissolution of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, the opposi tion held a meeting, at which it was decided that the payment of the taxes should be refused until the government should have decided on returning to a constitutional line of conduct. The following circular published in the Annual de Franefort shows that the decision has been carried into execution for the first time at Pliken on the 24th September, in the district of Gumbiunen : A rime having been made at my house for the non-pay ment of taxes, I have the honour to inform my friends and the public, that, in order to prevent unfavourable reverie r to the situation of my fortune, I have made the following de claration to the royal government of Gumbinnen :—" I think it incompatible with my duties of citizen to give any rapport whatever to the present rigime without a budget and contrary to the constitution. I have therefore resolved to no longer pay any taxes until the re-establishment of oorstitutional order." Joug ItsireNseca TZLIGHLIM) THE POLISH QUESTION. IPARLS, Ocr. 3. The Courtier du Ansanche of to-day, in an article on the Polish question, says :—" The negotiations between Paris and London have not yet terminated, and we can state that the essential bases of the pre liminary negotiations entered into do not sensibly differ from the conclusions drawn by Earl Russell in his speech at Blairgowrie respecting the conga queoces of the non-execution of the treaties of 1815 by Russia." The Courrier du Dimanche adds :—" If, as is pro bable, the negotiations have a favourable result, it would not necessarily follow that France and England would recognise the Poles as belligerents." The article concludes by asserting that the French government, always desirous of preserving a European character to the Polish question, would not wish, by separating herself from Austria, to break the concord between the Powers. POLAND. THORN. Ocr. a An order of the day of the revolutionary town captain of Warsaw, dated lat inst., announces that the attempt upon the life of General Berg took place by order of the National Government.

EXPRE3B FROM PARIS. (nod ova owi coaasarosuzirr.) PARIS. Pamir EVINI2.IO. The Pays announces that the "negotiations " on the Polish question are necessarily suspended until the return of Lord Russell to London ; and it makes the further significant observation that his lordship has been absent ten days, as if thereby meaning to contradict implicitly all statements of any important decision having been come to within that period. Under these circumstances it is difti cult to attach any importance to an assertion of the iPatris that the English government is about officially to inform its agents abroad of the "legal consequences" to Russia of the non-execution of the treaties of 1815, and that the Emperor's govern ment, at whose instigation this step has been taken, will join in it. M. Billanit is ill in Brittany. The Pays merely says that, in consequence of an indisposition, his return to Paris will be postponed foe tive or six days ; but, according to the Phare de la Loire, the Minister of State, who has for some time suffered from rheum►tism, has had an attack in the heart and in the chest, which requires great care. But liar's Correspondence goes so far as to anticipate the probability of the Corps Legislatif being adjourned after its meeting, on amount of the incapacity of the leading ministers to take part in the debate on the address. The latest intelligence, however, is that K Bill►ult is much better, and likely to re 'cover soon. The Pays says there is no truth in a rumour that M. de Budberg, the Russian ambassador, is prepar ing to quit Paris. In reference to the rumour that Mr. Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confederate States, is coming to Paris to conclude a treaty with the French government which will contain a clause relative to the abolition of slavery, the Siicie observes that if so Mr. Stephens is likely to go away as he came. The moment for recognising the Con federate States, if such an ides was ever on the lapis, has gone by. These concessions in extremis will not serve to rally the liberals of Europe to the secession cause. The semi-official Puys contains little more comfort for Mr. Stephens than the Siick. It says it knows nothing about his mission; and at all events the abolition of slavery must be the in dispensable condition of any recognition of the South by European peoples and governments. This is highly encouraging for the South consider ing that slavery, and not only slavery but the ex tension of slavery, is the very thing they have been all along fighting for. According to a statement of the France, which seems to me impossible to be true, an English ship of war on the ooset of Mexico has taken upon itself not only to recognise Marshal Forey's trium virate, but to fight its battles. The France says : An important even► has just occurred os the Pacific coast. The lahabitenta of Nominee, a Mexican port, haviog re fired to pay a new Mx decreed by Juarez, the troops of the tatter threatened the popalatioe. Thereupon an English frigate which was anchored in the pert told the Jussiat cam mandset that it would defeed the inhabitants. inasmuch as the espial' did not ooasider Juarez' power as existing any AMERICA. -.-- THE FIGHTING IN TENNESSEE. The Cincinnati Coninuweial give, the following account of the great battle near Chattanooga ou the 19th : The battle opened at 11 o'clock in the vicinity of Widow Glens, on the road leading from M`Lamore's cave to Chatta nooga. The fighting soon became general, the rebels mancouvriog their troops finely. Early in the action the rebels made an impetuous charge on the famous Loomis battery, and captured five out of six gnus belonging to it. Captain Van Pelt, commanding the battery, was taken pri soner. At two o'clock the contest was perfectly terrific, the roll of musketry being far more continuous and deafen ing than at Stone's River. At 2.40 p.m. our centre division was pushed, broken, and retreated in disorder. Colonel Barnett planted a battery, and soon checked the pursuing enemy, who, in turn, were driven over the same ground. The division of General Davis was then driven back by the rebels with heavy lose, and every gun of the Eighth Indiana Regiment was captured, when General Davis rallied his forces, and pushed the enemy back, and retook his guns. Reynolds lost heavily, but stubbornly held his position, driving the enemy, but never leaving his use. Palmer, who was overwhelmed, failed to get off his whole battery, and two guns were lost. Van Cleve, although fighting gallantly, lost ground, and, being overpowered, failed to regain his position. Our line was pressed severely and w►vered. The rebels, exulting over their apparent sue .cess, made the air resound with cheers. They advanced along the whole line, and when within fire the musketry rolled from right to left, and till 5 o'clock the fighting was terrific. General Rosecrans grew anxious, the wounded c►me pouring in, and the rebels kept steadily moving up to his bead-quarters. New forces were opposed to the enemy, and from this time till dark the battle raged with destructive fury. The action again became general until long after dark, and raged with the greatest fury. The battle thus far ban been a bloody one, and our leas is very heavy. Rebel prisoners say that some of their regiments ere almost annihilated. Both armies oocupy the same grounds as when the fight began. We have raptured several hundred prisoners, many of whom are from the east. We took ten guns, lost seven. Louisville, Monday, Sept. 21, 12.45 p.m. Our army under General Rosaceous has been badly beaten, and compelled to retreat to Chattanooga, by Bragg, with heavy reinforcements from Lee, Beauregard, and Joe Johnston. The Washington Star has the following account of the second engagement : On Sunday (the 20th inst.) an engagement ecennieseed late is the morning. The first gun was fired at 9 but no considerable firing took place until 10. Previous to 10 o'clock General Rreerrans rode the whole length of our line. Soon after, the battle commenced. General Thomas, who held the left, began to call for reinforcements. About 12 o'clock word came that be bad been forced to retire. The second line of reinforcements were thee sent to him, sad' M'Cook's whole corps, which was on the right, and se a reser►e in the centre, was sent to his assistance. General Wood, of Crittenden's corps, and Van Cleve, who held the front centre, were also ordered to the left, where the fury of the cannonade showed that the enemy ' s force was massed. Their places were filled by Davis and Sheridan, of General M'Cook's corps. Bat hardly bad these divisions taken their places in the line, when the rebel fire,which had slackened, burst out in immense volleys upon the centre. This lasted about twenty minutes, and then Van Cleve, on Thomas's right, was seen to give way, but in tolerable order ; soon after which the lines of Sheridan end Davis broke in disorder, borne down by the enemy's columns, which are said to have consisted of Polk's corps. These two divisions were the only divisions thrown into much disorder. Three of Negisy and Van Cleve were thrown into confusion, but soca rallied and held their places, the first on the left and the second on the right of Thomas's corps. Davis and Sharridaa, late in the day, succeeded in rallying about eight thousand of their forces, mid joined Thomas. General Thomas, finding himself cut off from the right, brought his division into position for independent fight ing, his line morning the form of a horseshoe along the crest of a wooded ridge. He was soon joined by Greaser, from Roseville, with a division of General M'Cook and General Steadman's division, and with these forces firmly maintained the fight until slier dark. Our troops were as immov►ble as the rooks they stood on. The enemy repeatedly hurled against them the dense column which had rooted Davis and Sheridan in the morning but every onset was repulsed with dreadful slaughter. Failing first on one and then on the other point of our lines, the rebels for hours vainly sought to break them. General Thomas seemed to have filled every soldier with hi own unconquer►ble firmness ; and General Granger, his bat torn by bullets, rode like a lion wherever the combat was thickest. Every division commander bore himself gloriously, and among them Generals Tarchen, Hazen, and Parker especially distin guished themselves. Turchen charged through the rebel lines with the bayonet, and being surrounded, forced his way back again. Parker, who had two horses shot tinder him on Saturday, forming his men in one line, made them lie down until the enemy was close upon them, when sad- denly they rose and delivered their fire, with each effect that the swanning columns fell back in confusion, leaving the ground covered with killed. When night fell, this body of heroes stood on the MIIII3 ground occupied by them in the morning, their spirits being unbroken. Their laws are not yet estimated. • • " " " General Thomas telegraphs (Monday forenoon, that the troops are in high spirits. He brought off all his wouoded. Of the sick aid wounded at Crawfish Spring, including our main hospital, nearly all bad been brought away. The number of prisoners taken by the enemy will hardly surpass two thousand, besides the wounded, of whom not more than one thousand could have fallen into their hands. Of rebel prisoners we have sent thirteen hundred to Nashville. Most of our losses in artillery were occasioned by the killing of all the horses. General Thomas retired to Rose ville on Sunday night after the battle, bad, closed. General Rosecrans bad issued orders for all his troops to be °amen trated with the forces at Chattanooga. In the last two assaults oar troops fought with bayonets, their ammunition being exhausted. The latest information that has notched this city is from Chattanooga last evening, and was to the effect that General Roseman would concentrate on Chat nooga last night. General Thomas had been engaged with the enemy prior to 5 p.m. yesterday, and it was therefore questionable whether be would be able to reach Chatta nooga last night. There were indications that the enemy were contem plating a demonstration on another part of oar line last evening. THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. General Gilmore has issued the following general order : Department of the South, Heerkoariere in the Field, Morrie blend, 8. C., Sept. 15, 1863. It is with no ordinary feelings of gratification and pride that the brigadier-genersl commanding is enabled to con gratulate this army upon the signal success which has crowned the enterprise in winch it has been engaged. Fort Sumter is destroyed. The scene where our country's flag suffered its first dishonour you have made the theatre of 008 01 its proudest triumpha. The fort has been in the possession of the enemy for more than two yean, has been his pride and boast, has been strengthened by every appliance known to military science, and has defied the assaults of the most powerful and gallant fleet the world ever saw. But it has yielded to our courage and patient labour. Its walls are now crumbled to ruins, its formidable batteries are silenced, and, though a hostile flag still fiesta over it, the fort is a harmless and helpless wreck. forte Wagner and Gregg—works rendered memorable by their protracted resistance and the sacrifice of life they have cost—have also been wrested from the enemy by your per severing courage and skill, and the graves of your fallen comrades rescued from desecration and contumely. You now bold in undisputed possession the whole of Morris Island, and the city and harbour of Charleston lie at the merry of your artillery from the very spot where the first shot wee fired at your country's flag. and the rebellion itself was inaugurated. To you—the officers and soldiery of this cora. mead, and to the gallant navy which has co-operated with you—are due the thanks of your commander sad your country. You were called upon to encounter untold pri make and dangers, to undergo unremitting and exhausting labours, to sustoin severs and disheartening reverses. Row nobly your patriotism and zeal have responded to the call the result of the campaign will show, and your emanneding general gratefully bean witness. L. A. OILWORK, BrigediarGessesal Commanding.

(nom ma OWN comerconnirr.) TURIN, Sire. 29. _ One of the best and most popular of Italian ge nerals, Cialdini, has been dangerously ill. He was attacked in Bologna by gastric fever, complicated by the reopening of an old wound. An excellent physician has left Turin to prescribe for him, and the King has sent one of his aides-de-camp, Duke Somme., to inquire after the illustrious soldier. The King is very much attached to Cialdini, both on account of his tried valour and his frank dispo sition, to say nothing of his undoubted capacity, due to natural ability and to the long experience in military and political matters he has had in Spain and Italy. He is, moreover, the youngestgeneral in the Italian army, not having yet attained his fiftieth year, and, with the excep tion of Lamarmora, the troops have more confidenoe in him than in any other officer. He served for twelve years in Spain, and was promoted to the rank of colonel on the field of battle. When the revolution of 1848 broke out, he gave up every thing in order to return to Italy, and he was seriously wounded at Vicenza. After recovering, he took part in every war in which the Italian army was engaged, and fortune always accompanied his bravery. Yesterday and to-day the telegraph has brought us better news of him, and it is hoped that he will be speedily restored to health. The husbands of the Princesses of Savoy ought to esteem themselves singularly fortunate. The Princess Olotilda promptly presented Prince Napo leon with a son, and the Princess Pia has presented the King of Portugal with a young prince quite as promptly. These royal ladies, too, carry into their courts the example of virtue, and never become, like certain other royal ladies, objects of popular scandal, or abettors of illiberal and reactionary intrigue. The Prince of Carignauo and Prince Amadeus will set out for Lisbon shortly, in order to be present at the baptism of the infant prince. The ' fleet, consisting of nine ships, under the command of Vioe-Admiral Provana, will precede them by a few days. It set sail from Cagliari last night. The opening of the Foggia Railway was to take place on the Ist of November, and the King had promised to attend at the ceremony. It has now become necessary, however, to alter the programme. Two tunnels that were almost finished have become obstructed by some accident, and the inauguration of this important line will be delayed thereby for more than a month. The event is sure to come off, however, before the end of the year. The ,Italian governinnent has been compelled to withdraw the exequatur from all the Pontifical sonsuls in the kingdom of Italy. The Papal government is really a worse neighbour than Morocco ; it is impossible to maintain with it the relations that are maintained with civil powers. The military and political operations against the brigandage have been carried on during the last month with extraordinary and increasing rapidity, and are producing excellent results. It is hoped that even more may be done in the course of this week. The cotton crop this year in the southern pro vinces has been twice as large as it was last year, and the quality is excellent. As it is much in demand, and fetches a high price, more than double the quantity will probably be sown for next year.

Ithasgiven them the best seed ; it has published instructions ; it has sent them practical men ; and the Neapo litans accept everything, profit by it, and yet cry out, as usual, that the government does nothing for them. At the end of the year it will have opened up to them upwards of three hundred miles of railway, and they complain ; it has begun to make roads for them, to enlarge their porta, to drain their marshes, and they complain. And yet when they had the Bourbons over them, who did nothing of this kind, and tormented them in a hundred ways, they said nothing, and would be saying nothing now, had not Csvour sent Gari baldi to liberate them. They are as yet mere infants in liberty. A severe shock of earthquake was felt at Tunis oil the evenbig of the 14th ult., which was followed by several shocks during the night.

The native species of wild cat infests the forests of Germany this year in such numbers that sportsmen in many districts complain that there is hardly a bars to be shot. This ferocious little member of the feline race has even committed considerable havoc among the young deer io some parts of the country.
