From Tues day, the sth of May, until Friday, the 13th, scarcely a day had elapsed without an engagement, and during the same period no lees than three des perate battles had been fought between the con tending armies. The object of both oommanders is sufficiently claw. The object of General GRANT is to turn the right flank of General LEE, and thus to cut him off from Richmond, whence be draws his supplies. The object of General Liz is to resist the assaults of General GRANT, and to com pel him to retreat across the Rappahannock. tip to the present moment neither has succeeded, for General Las still confronts his adversary, whilst I General GRANT continues to assail the front and flank of the Confederates. But upon the whole it is impossible now to doubt the advantage has been on the aide of the Fedora's. The vigorous onslaughts made by General LER on the army of General GRA_NT have all failed. Even the partial success which followed the attack on the 10th, when Lax threatened to turn GRANT's right flank, was fruitless. For early on the morn ing of the 12th GRANT assumed the offensive, turned Las's right flank, and captured 25 cannon and 3,000 prisoners. The same night Lim retreated, and it is now said that he has creased the river Po, andtaken up aposition somewhere to the south of that river, and nearer Richmond. The result, therefore, of the long series of battles, which began on the sth and ended on the 12th, has been to compel Ls' to retreat some twenty miles, so that he is now within fifty miles of Richmond. It might be supposed that after so desperate a struggle GRANT might be obliged to desist from sheer ex haustion. But of this there are no signs; on the contrary, the morning after an encounter always finds him ready, not only to defend himself, but to resume the attack. After the bloody battle of the 6th, GRANT followed his retreating adver sary on the 7th ; and again, as soon as it was dis covered that Las had withdrawn after the fierce contest of the 12th, GRANT lost no time in pushing on two divisions to entertain the position of his rivaL In short, GRANT has fixed his teeth in his adversary. With sleepless tenacity he clings to him. Nor have all the efforts of Southern skill and all the desperate courage of the Southern chivalry been able to shake off the sturdy Northerner, or even to make him relax his hold. But General Les has other dangers to guard against besides the attacks of General GRANT in his front. The operations against Richmond are con structed on a comprehensive plea, and are therefore somewhat complicated. Besides the army under the immediate command of Garr, one column under SIGEL was to advance down the Shenandoah Valley to cut off the railways connecting Richmond with the west, and then to threaten the rear of LEE, whilst another column, under Bunts, Simi, and GlL mom, was to oper►te on the south side of the James River, and, if possible, to cut Richmond off from the Southern States. These two columns were absolutely separated from each other, and were therefore liable to be crushed in detail, or at all eventa, unless they were commanded by men of skill and prudence, they might fail to 11C2OTC plish their object. According to the latest accounts they have both proved a success. Sion has already struck the junction of the railways which connect Lynchburg with Gordonsville and with Richmond ; so that LEE's communications with Western Virginia &recut off ; and, indeed, unless something is done to arrest Slow. he may e►en threaten LEE's retreat to Richmond. At the same time Bcrixii has landed his troops on both aides of the mouth of the Appomatox, has penetrated to the rear of Petets burgh, has cut off BRALILEGAILD from Richmond, and BVTLER'S last despatch is dated on the after• noon of the 12th of May from Chester railway station, on the Richmond and Petersburgh Rail way, about ten miles from the Virginian capital. The question now is, whether General LEE will feel himself justified in remaining fifty miles north of Richmond, with SKIRL on his left flank and rear, a body of cavalry on his right flank, and a considerable army under such officers as "BsLov," SMITH and GILMORE on his only line of communication with the Carolina' and Georgia. Whilst on the one hand Gasur is said to be still receiving rein forcements from Washington, and is certain to receive with each succeeding day more aid and co-operation from the troops of SIGEL and Brrus, LEE, on the other hand, has already collected every man within his reach, and will therefore experience greater difficulties in resisting the attacks of the adversary in his front. Before the campaign opened it was confidently anticipated that General Gstirr would display a military skill and moral power which have hitherto been unknown in the North. The first fortnight has amply verified the prediction, and justified the large powers conferred upon the present Com mander-in-chief. The army of the Potomac never fought so well, and already those who scoffed at the so-called mercenaries of the North have been com pelled to acknowledge that they fight with a de termined courage equal to that of their adversa ries. It is absurd to suppose that the material of which the army under GRANT is composed differs from that of which it was composed under MTLELLAN, BrENMIDE, and HOOLZIL On the contrary, the probability is that there are more Irishmen and Germans now in the ranks than there were originally. But the truth is, that neither now nor at any former time has the ma jority of the American armies consisted of raw emigrants. The best families in the North have sent their sons to the wsx, than 74 per oent. of the and it is an swertained hospitals are native-born cause of the present success is the commands. Immoveably resolute and collected amidst difficulties, he is not only instructed in the principles of war, but be has the rare sagacity to select able officers. Like all great oommandars he arranges his owl plans and sots upon his owes re sponsibility. Like the Duke of \Yamada:ow, GRANT disclaim to hold a council of war ; and if be ever should bold one, he would probably act against the advice of the majority. He has per fect confidence in himself ; his of have per fect confidence in him. Experience has proved his military capacity, and it is obvious that the ablest men in the Northern army willingly regard him as their legitimate chief. The common soldiers feel that they are site in his bands, and that they will neither be asked to do impossibilities, nor sacrificed without good cause. For him they will go anywhere and do what they can. Under the same influence the fierce demo cracy of the Northern States is awed into sileaoe— fully satisfied that if the capture of Richmond and the subjection of the South are to be achieved by military operations, GALIFT is the man who can achieve that result. Those who have watched the history of this civil war must admit the ability of General Lai and his lieutenants. His military plans have been admirably conceived, and they have been bril liantly executed. But even the brilliancy of his achievements does not surpass the masterly skill with which GALDT has arranged the oombined move ment of troops from the frontier of Georgia to the banks of the Potomao—the crushing vigour which has directed his blows in the field, and the dogged tenacity which refuses to admit the necessity of retreat oe the possibility of disaster. THE AMERICAN NEWS. In the opinion of the Times, the great battle in Virginia reported by the lest telegram from New Ycek, "may be said to have been indecisive at a time when an in decisive battle is really a victory to the South." "Even t►e marline North," the news proceeds to say, " when it sees these successive days cf bloodshed, which oily mad is musing the Coafederate army to draw bask a short distant* to new positions that have been carefully chosen and strengthened during three years pest, seems to feel the hope- Iseinen of the contest in which it is mimed. No one who considers the matter ran fail to perceive that the farther Grant advances through a depopulated country, along wretched reads, and with the ever.leagtbening line of his tommunications exposed to the Confederate cavalry and guerillas, the more unable will be be to keep ay his attache on the Confederates, who, on the contrary, fall bock on their resources and fight in a country which is entirely their own. . . . Is it not evident that even if the rampage were to place Richmond in the power of the Federal., the war would continue with widiminnhed ferocity In the great territory of Virginia as in the other stated of the South? To oar notions the only hope of pesos is in the recognition by amend Great that the enterprise on which he is est is hopeless, sod in his retreat from a position which it will require every day more skill to maintain." The Morning Pose thinks that the present attempt upon Richmond " bids fair to emulate is ill success the attempt to capture Clarence, by sea." The Herald says that the South is well aware that, so far as political and military considerations go. Richmond ie not the meet important poiat to be threatened or defended. It is hardly more important than Vicksburg—it is certainly lees important than Charleston or Atlanta. " But both North end South know that the possession of Richmond produces a greater effect on the opinion of Europe than that of say other town—say, than th►t of any angle state —within the Oodederecy. If the Southern capital should fall, he surrender would waviest the governments of France and England that the independence of the South was sot yet finally achieved, and would postpone recog nition probably for many years. On the other head, if then South can hold Richmond against all the efforts of the in. radon, it will be impossible for all the sophistry of Hr. Seward, or the partiality of Lord Russell, to conceal from the world the hopeless character of the Federal enterprise, and the accomplishment of that independence for white the Confederates hare fought so splendidly." flit Court.

After the arrival of a Danish government com missioner at the Prussian headquarters in Horsens 'the commander of that place retired from Jutland' leaving nobody behind with whom negotiations could be carried on. The Prussian officers in command at the different places act everywhere arbitrarily. The chief of the police in Randers has been arrested by the Prussians. In Aarhuus they arrested the superintendent of the Custom-house for demanding the duty from Prussian contractors. The recruits called in before the armistice on the 12th May were arrested on the route to join the Danish army, and threatened with deportation southwards. SPAIN. MADRID, NUT 25, Evionsa.

All despatches per this steamer for the United States will be received on board till midnight of the 26th. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE SLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION. A Paris letter in the lidependance says:—"l3aron de Benet was able to assure the Emperor Napoleon that the Queen of England was moat anxious for a solution in the German sense, and her Britan nic Majesty is represented to have added that, in her conviction, at the decisive moment her ministers would be perfectly willing to accede to it. The Queen is stated to have said, Never will I consent to a war in favour of Denmark, and my ministers have no more thought of such a thing than I have.' Indeed, according to the latest intelligence we have received from London, Lord Palmerston has called to mind the propositions be made in 1848, which consisted in a complete separa tion of Holstein and the southern portion of Bleswig from the Danish monarchy. If I may believe what I hear on this subject, a solution in this sense would have great chances of suooesa." THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE POPE'S HEALTH. The Opirsione of Turin publishes a long article exhorting the country and the government to be prepared for the death of Pope Pius. The Opinions insists that this event will afford an opportunity to Italy of taking a new step in insuring its inde pendence and in completing its internal organi sation. The cabinet of the Tuileries, it thinks, cannot at such a moment oppose the expression of the wishes of the populations. The Nord remarks "The attitude of the French government in the Dane-German affair is such as to justify the ex_ pectations of the Opinions. How is it possible, in fact, to believe that an appeal to the populations can be deemed less necessary, and especially less opportune, in a country the government of which, as the whole world acknowledges, could not resist a single day if foreign protection were withdrawn than in a state where the monarch remained in full enjoyment of his sovereignty until the day on which foreign forces despoiled him of it ?* BELGIUM.

The following is a specimen of the high-flown language which may be successfully used in France on such an occasion : I implore ea my banded be the intercession of your majesty. At the moment of concluding this petition— already too long--end which eon only be excused by your Majesty's invariable goodness, my eye lights upon my charming little girl, six years old : she clasps her little heads, points them towards your Majesty, and asks me naive:oust whether lam writing to God!

' A grand dinner of fifty covers was given last evening by Earl Cowley at the British Embassy in honour of the forty-fifth anniversary of the Queen of England's birthday. The company consisted of members of the diplomatic corps, ministers, heads of the great bodies of the state, &c. The front of the hotel was handsomely illuminated with gas re presenting the initials of her Majesty, whilst, inside, the state apartments and conservatory running into the garden were a blaze of light. A military band played overtures and other choice pieces of music during the evening. A toast in honour of the Queen was proposed by M. Drouyn de Limy% to which Lord Cowley responded by a toast to the Emperor. In the Senate, on Monday, First President de Royer brought up the report of a committee upon a petition from 243 inhabitants of Cervione, in Corsica, complaining that the methodists of Bastin had established a protestant society in their town, whose only object, seeing that there were no pro testant+, in Cervione, must be to persuade catholics to desert the standard of their faith, and who, in pursuit of that object, " must necessarily cry down the holy catholic, apostolic, and Roman re ligion." The petitioners pray that " meetings evidently intended to pervert catholics may be no longer tolerated in our country—meetings which as. long as they are regarded with contempt may not be very dangerous, but which would infallibly lead to collisions if they should assume greater consistency." M. de Royer proposed that no action should be taken on this petition, and the order of the day was voted accordingly without discussion. But it is to be observed that M. de Boyer's proposition was based exclusively upon the special circumstances of the aase, and carefully avoided recognizing the doctrine of universal and indiscriminate toleration. Although the French constitution knows no State religion, it would be a great mistake to suppose that all forms of worship are upon an equal footing. The prefects have a large discretion, and as most of them are Roman catholics, and as very many of them are under the intluenoe of their wives and their bishops, prates tantism is practically persecuted in many parts , 1 of France. As a contrast to the intolerance of the Corsican catholics, I beg to call attention to the account ' given by • London correspondent of the catholic journal L'Osion of the recent translation and solemn inauguration iu the monastery of the bare footed Carmelites of Kensington of a "precious relic" denominated " an entire bone of the leg of St. Simon Stock."Thecorrespondent, who isperhaps one of the barefooted monks aforesaid—perhapeCardinal Wiseman himself, but at all evade an ultra:non unist inspired bthe same authority which dictated the intolerant Corsican petition—revels in the li berty which the enlightened laws of England allow, and profits by it, not to thank, but to abuse his benefactors. Be glories in the insult which he conceives to have been inflicted upon Archdeacon Sinclair by the public procession under his nose of the cortige of the saint's tibia, and says that the archdeacon writhed under the infliction like • "devil in a basin of holy water." St. Simon Stock's bone is proclaimed to be the " Aurora of catholicism in 1 England." The writer declares that a Protestant workman, dazzled by the magnificence of the pro cession, exclaimed, " I suppose we shall all be I catholics one of these days.'• It. confidently believes that just as the walls of Jericho fell down before the ark borne by the priests of Israel, so English protestantism will be crumbled to pieces by the log bone of Saint Simon Stock. As an ar gument to show the progress of Romanism in Eng land, he remarks that the populace made no hostile demonstration, whereas twenty years ago (so he I says) the catholic* in the procession would have been atoned, hung, or beaten by the mob. Thus the men who would expel protestants from Corsica see nothing in the improved civilization of the English lower dames but an approval of their own bigoted doctrines and practices, attribute to weakness the concession of that absolute liberty which they can find nowhere in the world but in England, and indecently rejoice in the hope that the practice of their own mummeries may have been felt as an in sult by the ministers of the English established church.

PEOPLE'S HALL AND NEW FACTORY IS DROGHEDA. DROGHEDA. TUESDAY. To-day the foundation stone of a People's Hall and of a cotton spurning mill and weaving factory were laid here, amidst great rejoicings. Both these underuicin.,-s have been oommeaced under the auspices of Mr. lienjaion Whitworth, of Manchester, who ham generously coati wok.' the sum of 4.0001. towards the erection of the former. The mill sod factory are also being built by him ; and as there is great want of remunerative employment in the town, the joyfulness of the people to-day is easily accoooted for. From au early boor the town began to wear a holiday appearance; flags, banners, and evergreens ware profusely =dalong the house fronts in most of the streste. Th e es evil genius spoken of by Moors, named for this day to bay, deserted his place, for protestant and catholic, liberal and conservative, forgot their particular opinions, end vied with each other in paying homage to a man who, nee unmindful of his native town, had bestowed such Bolds gifts upon them. The weather wee ipleedid. The shipping wee pily dressed with bunting, sad from time to time during the day sent forth load peals of cannonading. At 12 o'clock the Mayor, aldermen, and common council Wooded in the Thokes, formed into procession, and, preceded by the mane, sword-bearer and the other corporate officials, walked to the site of the contemplated Town-hall. The corporation was followed by a procession of the mime trades, who bore aloft their alibis banners. The wocession having arrived at the site of the Tows or Peo*'s Hall, his worship read an address to Mr. Whit worth, thanking him for the noble sad generous gift which he had bestowed upon the people of Drogheda, arid at pressing in their name the deep sense of the obliptione which they one and all ware placed !leder.

Mr. Warrworm, after receiving the saran, good friends, I bate oily dose what I felt to be my date, and if the benefits which I anticipate to flow to you from to-day's proosodinp shall be realised, I will feel myself more than compensated for any little amount of trouble and anarinos which I have been ailed upon to make. I bops that am we are intellectually improved our material property will be increased, and that the face of thinp in our good old town will be changed for the better. Mr. Whitworth then alluded 'to the meappreheision which some of his friends at Manchester entertained regarding the tendency which the people have to "strikes," and mid that from his knowledge of the people he had not the re molest fear of any such thing being allowed to operate in juriously upon his prospects. He cerelndad by dews eating the sad remits of pasty eoelbees, eel hoping for bettor feelings. The Mayor then headed to Mr. Whitworth the silver trowel with which the atone was laid, immedistoly after which the proemial' reformed, and proceeded to the pros chosen for the erection of the cotton mill and weaving fac tory, a mile and a half from the town.
