Despatches were sees to the Lord High 1 Counsimiceer of the balm Weeds. Ir is quite natural that those among us whom military inquiries have led them to advocate the extensive use of fixed fortifications for coast and harbour defence should make much of the vic tory of forts over iron ships in the recent action off Charleston. We are not going to deny that appearances are in their favour ; but in the public interest, as well as in the interest of scientific troth, we must observe that any judgment on the question pretending to finality would be premature. We cannot for • moment admit that the attack and defence of Fort Sumter, under the known circumstances of the ease, is decisive of the great oontroversy of forte against ships. At present we are vary imperfectly informed of the sonditions under which the contest was carried on ; but we know that the ships fought at a great disadvantage, such as need not always attend their use in similar operations. The immense superiority of the defenders in respect of the number of guns, the proportion being something like 300 to 30, was a most important element of their success ; but the inferiority of the assailants, in the same respect, was not owing to the nature of the operations, nor yet to the situation in which they were carried on. It arose from the kind and quality of ship they employed. Most of them were vessels of the Monitor clam, not built, we apprehend, with a primary view to such service as they have just been employed in. These vessels carry fewer guns than those of any other class. In fact, seven out of the nine bon-clads had only two guns each. After what was published yesterday, it is clear that these Monitors were not even good representatives of their class. They were small, hastily built, and defective in workmanship, as appears bythestarting of so many of their bolts. Their armour was com posed of • series of 1-inch plates Waked of one thickness of iron ; and the vessel that was riddled and sunk wore armour of not more than half the thickness of that of her oonaorta. No doubt these vessels were the best the Federal. bad—the best that exist in the New World ; but we cannot allow that they were such vesicle ea Englishmen would accept as the best that could be devised for their purpose. Doubtless this sal: off Charleston is full of instruction, and we shall await further par ticulars of it with some arms= ; but we cannot allow that the result of a contest so unequal ought to be madders& so decisive as to settle aloe for all the pre-eminence of fort& over iron-clads ; and even if it were, we may observe that it would be far from justifying the whole system of works which have been projected for the Meow of Portsmouth. Tits final decision of the Qtrwr upon the style and character of the Memorial of the Pumas CONSORT has given pleasure to all classee of her MS./MYR subjects. The opinion of the rabbis is everywhere expressed that • right choice has been made, and that in the Memorial Cross we shall have a monument in harmony at once with the national character and with that of the lamented Yams. Now that all indecision is at an sod, the work will be carried forward without unnecessary delay. It has been deemed proper that the laying of the foundation of the Memorial should be a public and ceremonious act. Such an office belong by pre-eminent right to the Queen, not less in virtue of her high personal interest in the memory to be perpetuated thee as the best re presentative of the feelings of the nation, and we have reason to believe that before the summer is far advanced we shall see the Qom coining forward and associating herself with the country in this sacred duty. We think that without trespassing on that perfect liberty of the Quasw which public opinion would never permit to be infringed, we may express the respectful but earnest hope that the performance of this act of piety may 'mark a new period in the QVII2e3 • TEE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY _ public life, and that her MsJestr, Win once • LATEM INTRLLIGIGNOr. more met her people, wi ll not again withdraw her- - self into seclusion, but remain thenceforward Omoria's saissaans-i among them as aforetime to countenance their • AMERICA. • social life, and receive the testimonies of their constant affection. NEW YORK, Aron. 17, Mimeo. (Per RV d Now York.) Information has reached Fortress Monroe that steamer with one regiment and supplies hail sue ceeded in reaching General Foster at Washington (N.C.) on the 14th inst. The Confederates under Longetreet, to the re ported number of 30,000 strong, continue to invest Suffolk, where the Federals are fortifying them selves. Heavy skirmishing daily occur.. The Confederates have attempted to get round Suffolk and cut off the Federal communication. with Nor folk. It is supposed that in case of the capture of Suffolk by the Confederates the Federal' would burn Norfolk. Southern despatches from Vicksburg, to the 10th inst., state that two more Federal transports, filled with troops, had gone up the Mississippi and others were preparing to follow. Fifty-three Federal gunboats had proceeded up the Coldwater River. A Federal ironclad was abandoned and destroyed at the month of the Amite River. Refugees from Vicksburg state that there are sufficient supplies there to last the garrison for two years. Vicksburg is fortified by 225 cannon. At present it is held by not more than 5,000 troop", but in case of attack reinforcements can be had. The Confederates are constructing three gun boats up the Red River. The steamer Indianola is lying at Plaissnoe, on the Red River, ready for action. At Jackson, Miss., the Confederates are said to have an extensive foundry and powder manufac tory. There are reported to be 800,000 bales of cotton in and around Jackson. Sixty thousand bales are hid away in swamps and woods. The Federal' have closed the Memphis Lines for 60 days ; neither contraband' nor cotton would be admitted. Thirty Federal boats and 12 gunboats have left Memphis to operate on the Cumberland River. The Richmond N r hig says :—" A fight took place at Williamsburg, Va., on the 4th (114th). The Confederates under General Wise drove in the Federal pickets and occupied the town. The Federal' retired to Fort Magrada, from which point they shelled Williamsburg. General Wise has entrenched one side of Williamsburg, and is going to attack Fort Magrada." ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT DAVIS. In compliance with a request of Congress, Presi dent Davis has issued an address to the people of the Southern States. After recapitulating the dif ferent events of the war, and declaring that the present position of the South was well calculated to inspire confidence in the success of the Southern cause, he says : " There is but one danger which the government regards with apprehension, and to avert this I appeal to the spirit 1 and patriotism of the people. The harvest of last year was far Wow the average yield, *apse ally in the northern part of the Confederacy, when supplies an most needed far the army. If, through confidence in early peas, the I people now plant cotton and tobacco instead of gnat and articles necessary for the entisistease of the people and the army, the consequences may prows serious if not disastrous, especially if the mama ram I proves as the last. The wheat harvest in mere salsa states premier an abundant yield ; but the difficultirs elf transportation will embarrass military operations and same suffering among the people, if the crops in the middle and northern portions of the Coefedereey prey* deficient. No UZIAMIIiDIIOII is felt for the MOM supply of bread for the ma It was for oorn and forage to raise 'live stock sod supplies for animals used in military operations that the deficiency of last harvest was mostly felt." The President them urges the people to raise exclusively corn, oats, beam, peas, potatoes, sad other food for man and beast, and to sow ecru broad-mat for fodder Is the immediate vicinity of railroads and canals. The supply of meat is deficimt ; the deficiency is, how- ever. only temporary, as =ensues have hese adopted which it Is believed will son restore fell ration'. The ration is now reduced sometimes to one-half the usual quantity he some of the Southern armies. The supply of meat in the country Is sufficient for the support of all, but transportation is an difficult, sod speculators having caned the surplus in the hoods of producers to be withdraws from sale, government has been unable to gather full on plies. The Secretary of War has prepared a plan by which people will be enabled to assist government officers to pur chase bacon, are, pork, and beef, knows to exist in large quantities in different pins of the Confederacy. The ad dress concludes as follows :—" Entertaining no fear that the people will misconstrue the motives of this address, or fail to respond to the all of patriotism, I piece the facts fully sad frankly before the people. Thera is little doubt that if the people units in doiag their duty, the sovereignty and %dependence of the Confederate States will be mein. Waal" THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK. The Governor of New York has sent a massage to the legislature recommending it to pass an amendment to the constitution giving the legisla ture power to passe law to enable absent soldiers to vote, which, if concurred in by the next legisla ture, could then be submitted to the vote of the people, and if their decision was favourable the next legislature could take the necessary action. He recommends this course in preference to the passage of an unconstitutional law, or one of ques tionable validity upon this subject. He says : The deduct of the high officials hes owed great distrust in relation to freedom from restraints sad coercion in voting which shosid be wooded to absentees. It would be worse than mockery to allow voiding and waxed vote if they are act allowed to receive letter end papers from their friends, o r if they have no freedom in reading public journals. If officers are to be subject to dismissal and soldiers to inereased hardship. for the expression of opinion by votes or by customary political actioo, the game. el civil war will be kindled at the North. The governor solids with regret the attempts of some officers of the Federal government to interfere with the free enjoyment of political opinion by persons in the army. These inexcusable sets of official tyranny are rendered more objectionable by the language used in their exeentioo, which is at ones erarehrioas in terms and a wanton and unjust attack upon half the people of the loyal MAWS. While subordinate edema are padded for doing their duty as citizens at , home, affirm of high rank have been employed to inter- h ie i n ;owner of the states of which they are not rani dente, it. pee* will not permit the army to be used for eieetioneering pm:penes by three seeking an additional term of power. The governor hopes the wisdom of the adminiskation will admonish it in season of the clanged of acts marked by these features ef wrong and oppression. The governor, however, ban nodded* that the widom of the people and the legisla ture of New York will be sufficient to aecore to ahead soldiers and seamen the freedom of political opinion.

The New York press generally, with the excep tion of the World, are assuming a highly belliger ent tone towards England. The New York Herald urges President Lincoln to call an extra session of Congress to consider what measures ought to be adopted in case of a collision with England, as it is essential that the legislative branch of the government should co-operate with 1 the executive to give the war all the moral force necessary for its success, and thinks Congress should share with the President the responsibilities of a war with England, if such a course should be ne ossary to vindicate the honour or uphold the in terests of America. rho New York rillitS says it is physically certain APRIL 29, 1863. • EVENING, America will exact atonement for British outrages, the only uncertain thing is the question of time. It may be next month or next year, or ten years hence ; but every dollar destroyed by English pri vateers will be made good by voluntary payments or reprisals, and urges the Federal government to make uo further remonstrance, but let the British rulers take their course and America will bide her time. The same journal thinks that the invincibi lity of the American seaboard is proved by the fact that the harbour obstructions can prevent the en trance into our ports of iron-clad fleets, and, as the war would be entirely defensive on the part of America, with the exception that America would invade Canada and launch hundreds of privateers, there is left no room to doubt that England would get the worst of it. Seventy thousand Federal troops could march through Canada with out impediment, as England could not break the blockade, as it would be protected by iron -dads, of which America has five to one of England. The World ridicules the Times article, and says the defences of Canada are superior to anything the Federala have met with at the South, and, backed by the greatest naval power on earth, the conquest of Canada would not be such child's play as the Times supposes. The Richmond Examiner says it is not cotton alone, but well-grounded confidence of the ability of the South to maintain her independence, which has given the standing to the Confederate loan in Europe. The French frigate Guerriere arrived at Fort Monroe on the 14th. LETTER FROM MR. SEWARD. NEW YORE, Aran. 17. Arnairoos. It is reported that Mr. Seward is in favour of surrendering the Peterhof The New York Awning Post says :—" If it is true that Mr. Seward has sent a note to the British government demanding that the encouragement given to the fitting out of privateers shall cease, then the honour of America will demand an imme diate reply, and if the British government hesitates, the Federal government can do no better than re call Mr. Adams and send Lord Lyons home. There should be no hesitation in doing this, and there will then be time enough to deliberate on further measures." A report has reached here from Bermuda that the British steamer Cygnet was fired at by Federal cruisers whilst entering a Cuban port, the cruisers having mistaken the Cygnet for a privateer. Later direct Savannah advices do not, however, mention this affair. _ _ LATEST WAR NEWS. NEW YORK, Aram 18, Nomura. It is rumoured in Nashville that 500 Southern sympathisers are to be arrested in that city and held as hostages for East Tennessee unionists con fined iu Southern prisons. These hostages are to be exchanged for unionists when the Confederate government is willing. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury esti mates that the government expenses for the six months ending Dec., 1883, will exceed 50,000,000 dollars per mouth, and recommends further tax ation. The Richmond Enquirer sees no further pros pects of peace, as the Northern peace mesas re construction. The Southern peace means separa tion, and the Richmond Enquirer thinks the North can ensure the dangers and disasters of war, but cannot face the horrors of peace on Southern terms, as Northern financial credit is supported wholly on the hope of subjugating the South. NEW YORK, Ann.lB, Evcanal (?). The New York Tribune asserts that General Stoneman's force, comprising cavalry, infantry and artillery, after making a feint attack at Kelly,- ford, crossed the Rappahannock higher up, and pushed on to Culpepper and Gordonsville, which they now occupy. This movement is said to break the line of the Virginia Central Railroad, and tarns the flank of the Confederates at Fredericksburg. Southern journals report that the Federal iron ' dads sailed from Charleston southward on the 12th instant. The Federals have occupied Coles Kiawah and seabrook's Island, located between Folly Island and Hilton Head. • General Beauregard has issued a congratulatory address to the troops on the result of the engage ment of the 7th inst. The Charleston Mercury says that Fort Sumter, although somewhat pitted, is as strong as ever. It is estimated that the Federals fired eighty shots, forty of which struck Fort Sumter. No one was killed in it. An engagement has occurred on the Nansemond River, below Suffolk, between Federal gunboats and Confederate artillery. The latter was silenced by the gunboats, one of which, however, was dis abled and towed ofE Considerable excitement prevails at Suffolk con cerning the shooting of Colonel Kimball byGeneral Corcoran. It is said that Colonel Kimball while on I picket duty attempted to prevent General Corcoran passing, and the general shot him dead. Southern journals confirm the repulse of General Van Dorn at Franklin, Tennessee. The same papers state that two Federal gunboats and three transports were destroyed on Cumberland River by Wheeler's cavalry, who bad also captured several Federal trains between Louisville and Nashville. A steamer from Bermuda arrived at Charleston on the 13th inst. The steamer Eagle, from Wilmington, and the steamer Margaret and Jessie, from Charleston on the Bth, have arrived at Nassau. Fourteen vessels with cotton from Southern ports arrived at Nassau between March 16th and April 10th. COMYRROLLL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Aram 18. Money abundant. Gold 53 per cent. prem.

The Constitutionnet of to-day publishes an article signed by its chief editor, M. Paulin Limayrac, edntrsdicting the reports which have been circu lated by several newspapers relative to an alleged change in the policy of the court of Vienna. The Courtitutionnet says :—"ln seeking in the policy of Austria motives and oombivations which have no existence, her loyalty is outraged. Austria has freely adopted her line of conduct, and ; has, therefore, no reason to change it. The three • great powers first presented their observations to Russia, and after them other powers did the same. The reply of Russia will evidently be dictated by the same feeling of moderation and courtesy, and by the dairy to yield to the wishes of Europe. We expect this reply with confidence." FRANCE. PARIS.

Official despatches have been received here from Vera Cruz, announcing that General Mirandol has defeated Comonfort near Chola* after a brilliant engagement.

On the 18th inst. she spoke the Wooloomooloo, from Sydney. RUSSIA AND POLAND. The Augsburg Gazette publishes the Austrian note on the subject of Poland. It differs chiefly from the despatch attributed by the same authority to France, in the fact that the cabinet of Vienna puts forward the special interest of Austria, and the situation of Galicia, rather than the general interest of Europe. According to the Prune of Vienna, • privy council was held at St. Petersburg, under the presidency of the Emperor, on the 19th of April, two days after the receipt of the three notes. Prince Gortchakoff and the majority of the ministers present agreed in regarding the commu nication of the three cabinets as an encouragement on their part to the Polish insurrection, as a mani festation which would have the effect of aggravating the situation without indicating to the Russian government any means of solving the question in a manner honourable to itaelf and conformable to its ind epeudenoe and dignity. Such was, according to the Prose, the first impreesionwhich thedelivery of the three despatches caused in the councils of the Em peror ;but, as that journal judiciously remarks, there is nothing to warrant a belief that this impression will be the last, and that a calmer, more thoughtful, more measured appreciation of the situation will not prevail finally in the resolutions of the Rus sian government, and in the reply which it will make to the communication from the three courts. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rioll OUR OWN PARIS. TOISDAT EVINDIG. At the Bourse the Rents, after some fluctuation, left off without any recovery from yesterday's fall. There is still considerable apprehension of the oon sequences, of the anticipated unfavourable answer from Russia. The Pays admits that if certain reports of the tenor of this answer given by the Press of Vienna are correct, they would be very serious, but it abstains from reproducing them on account of the " delicate " nature of the subject. The continued successes of the insurgents in Poland detract much from the chances of a continued understanding be tween the three intervening powers, if the version of the Austrian despatch given by the Augabourg Gazette be correct. Austria is there represented as urging Russia to do something for Poland, on the ground that the " insurrection being now reduced to slender proportions the honour and dignity of the Russian government and army are not in volved." This argument is no longer applicable, and there is some reason to believe that Austria is backing out. All doubt about the destination of Prince Napo- _ - loon and the Princess Clothilde, who, acoording to very recent statements of several journals, were not going further than Florence, are set at rest by the Muniteur, which, confirming the original rumour, declares that they are going to Egypt and Palestine.

A report has been made to the War-office by Major-General Lord William Paulet on the volun teer review at Brighton ou Raster Monday. Th e Secretary at War, in acknowledging its receipt, expresses his full participation in the satisjactum felt by his Royal Highneea the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief at its very favourable nature. Lord Paulet says : The divisional generals, Major-Generals Rummell and Sut tee, afforded me every assistance, as also Colonel Ormsby, B.A. who bad the direction of the volunteer artillery. ' The differest brigades were very ably commanded by offi cers selected from volunteer corps. The artillery far sugared my expectations, for on con mewing I feared they would confine my movemeata, being heavy guns of position, some 24 and 18-pounders, but to my @armies they moved lam field artillery, and took up different positions as required, and were most efficienUy worked. The skirmishing of the infantry wee particularly good , the firing being well sustained ; and the general move ments were performed in a very soldierlike manner. The arrangement made by Colonel Wifourdo are de. serving of the greatest praise, and I found him a most useful staff officer. From my observations during the evolutions I cannot oouclude my report without stating that I consider the volunteer force a most valuable institution in a defensible point of view for the eonntry.
