After numerous efforts in various directions, it has been conclusively proved that until the army of the Confederates in Virginia is defeated it is vain to expect the sup pression of the rebellion. In order to conquer a powerful antagonist his great armies must be de feated, and it is certain that the Confederate army in Virginia is now the most formidable body of troops in the field. During last summer and auto= the great efforts of the Federal were directed to the West. The Mississippi was cleared by the surrender of Vicks burg, and the whole of Tennessee was secured by the capture of Chattanooga and Knoxville. The seaboard now claims attention. The pos session of Mobile would cut off the Confederates in the South from all access with the outer world, and if the chief ports on the eastern seabord should fall into the hands of the Federal', the cause of the Confederacy would be reduced to no ordinary straits. Wilmington and Savannah are the ports by which the Confederacy practically communicates with other countries and obtains many of the necessary supplies for carrying on the war. Let the Confederacy be deprived of these porta, and it will find considerable difficulty in maintaining its military position. It is not to be denied that during the present year the Federal have met with no sort of success. The expedition of Sesawr effected nothing ; whilst the Confederate officer, Fosses; has cap tured an earthwork (Fort Pillow) on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, and threatens to penetrate even into Ohio. It may be reasonably conjectured that the Federal, having a great enterprise in hand in the East, have weakened their armies in the West as much as possible ; and this may ac count for the late successes in that quarter. Unless General LEE has a sufficient number of troops to resist the attacks of General GRA/VT in Virginia and in North Carolina, the brilliant exploits of General FORREST will only prove that the Confede rates did not understand their business. For it will appear that when the Confederates ought to have been concentrated they were dispersed— when they ought to have been in the East they were in the West. If the great attack upon Richmond succeeds, the predatory operations of Foautsr and his mounted infantry will be utterly futile. In the meantime, however, they may cause much private loss and misery, and perhaps convince the farmers of the West that they have no hope of permanent tranquillity until the South is subdued. But the Con federates have not been satisfied with operat ing on the eastern bank of the Great River. They are operating on the western bank. It is difficult to believe that the success either of the North or of the South in these regions can mate rially affect the result of the war. No doubt, if the Federal" should sussed at Richmond, their occupation of the country West of the Mis sissippi would facilitate their again ob taining possession of that region. On the other hand, the conquest of Richmond and the eastern seaboard would lead inevitably to the same result It is by no means clear, therefore, that the Federal will really obtain any benefit by pro secuting the war on the West of the Mississippi. Indeed, the only possible benefit which can be derived from such an enterprise is the employment of a certain number of Confederate troops, which if they were not so employed would swell the Con federate armies in the East ; and the only possible defence of the Federal" is, that they are employing men who could not possibly be employed else where. It is not to be supposed that the particular plan adopted by General Gasrrr should be made known to the public. But it is tolerably clear that that officer has determined to make a grand effort to overcome the Confederate armies in Virginia. There seems no reason to doubt that Gnarr has been really placed in supreme command of the United States armies. Since the beginning of the war no officer has shown himself more thoroughly independent than General GRANT. It is impossible to prove that his own plan has been adopted ; but he bas reorganized the army of the Potomac in a fashion which, until the present mo ment, has not been experienced. He has re arranged brigades and divisions, dismissed some officers, and placed others in new commands. Above all, he has succeeded in getting the whole' of the Northern armies under his control. A vigorous attack upon the Confederate armies in Virginia is the one object at which Gitx:4.7 aims, and it is clear that be has been allowed by the Government at Washington to use the whole resources of the Republic to accomplish his design. It is admitted that the army on the Itspidan has been reorganized according to the General's own heart. But besides this he has employed himself in directing every man who could be spared, from Washington down to Florida, to concentrate upon Richmond. The army under SHERMAN at Chattanooga and at Knoxville is quies cent—a constant stream of troops has been pour ing into Fort Monroe on the north side of the James River, and, according to the latest accounts, " large numbers are being transported from Port " Royal," in the immediate neighbourhood of Sa vannah, to the same rendezvous—soother army is assembling on the south side of the James River, whilst GRANT himself is said to be watching the movements of Len with 110,000 efficient troops. Thus from three points north, east, and south-east—three armies, each sufficiently strong to resist the attack of General LEE, are about to advance upon Richmond. Their communications with Washington and with each other by sea are ample. The only danger is that the Con federate officers may succeed in annihilating one of them before either of the others can come to its aid. To capacity of the failed in bin be wee not e although it may authority had been enlarged, I wooded. Bat Gaaarr hag no such excuse. He occupies the position, and is clothed with the substantial au thority of aCommanderin•Chief. If, therefore ' he fails, he will fail because the army opposed to hi". • is more powerful, or occupies a more advantageous position than that of his adversary, or because the officers in command of the Confederate armies are more skilful than those who command the armies of the Federal.. gig Coun.

FROM P • 1 0204 et OWN CO 4ra It will probably have been telegraphed to London that the Coalitions Bill was voted yesterday by 222 against M. The latter figdre represents little more than the standing opposition. The govern ment members, who, being interested in manu factures, are morbidly afraid of coalitions, and thought M. 011ivier's report too liberal, did not, for the most part, give effect to their opinions and speeches by their vote. The names of Baron David (one of the numerous unrecognised members of the imperial family), Kolb Bernard, and Seydoux form, however, exceptions to the above observation. MM. Berryer and Thies and the three Pereires and several other de puties purposely abstained from voting. M. 011i vier, whose isolated position must be most distressing to himself, found but one supporter, K Darimon, among his old friends. Even K Picard, who owes his seat to him, and was for six years his most faithful henchman, deserted him on this occasion, and voted with the opposition. A second speech by M. Jules Fevre, just before the division, greatly widened the breach between M. 011ivier and his party. The news given in the Monifeur du Soir that the Conference which was to have met to-day for such solemn and urgent purposes has been pat off on account of the "drawing-room" is truly astonish ing. French readers may possibly suppose that the drawing-room was some unexpected event, but of course it is known in London that those who fixed Tuesday for the Conference knew at the same time that it was the drawing-room day. The Monde publishes the text of a decree of the sacred congregation of rites promulgated by the sovereign pontiff, which declares to be authentic "three miracles performed through the intercession of the venerable Marie Marguerite Alacoque, and submitted to the examination of the sacred congregation for the beatification of the vener able servant of God." In this document it is stated that "on the day when, consumed by seraphic ardour, she flew towards the ineffable embraces of the heart of Jesus, the Lord resolved that the eminent glory which his spouse had attained in heaven should be manifested upon earth by signs and wonders." Accordingly, at her intercession, three miracles were achieved ; Sister Marie Therese Petit was instantaneously and completely cured of an aneurism ; Sister Marie de Sales Charault of an internal cancer in tentricuio ; and Sister Marie Heloise of a tuberculous phthiais of the lungs." This decree is a great triumph for the jesuits, Sister Marie Macaque having been the promoter of the worship of the sacred heart, which the rev. fathers devised in the seventeenth century to annoy the Jansenista, and ex cite the people to take part in the jacobite crusade against the heretical William IIL It may now, in 1864, be said with greater truth than ever that if the Pope reigns the jesuits govern. Midi's. Patti has just come of age, and it is stated that one of the first acts of her majority was to settle an annuity of 6,000 fr. a year upon her father, and another to the like handsome amount upon her mother. A letter from the East states that the notorious Captain Doineau, who has taken service in China, was wounded at the siege of f3anteheou. A rumour is current that both Garibaldi's sons are at this moment in Paris. The Bourse was very weak ; but a fall of 27fr. 50c. in Mobilier is the principal change in quota tions.

Germap opera, Die lustigen Weiber now Windsor (The Nerrrhrivee of Windsor) was produced last night in an Italian version, and under the title of Iretete. %hews is not new : it has long beta known in Germsey, bat is a novelty to the English public. We 'appose we ere indebted for its production at this time to the tercentenary aelebration of our peat dramatist's birth; for, after having been overlooked for many years, it was this year simultaneously announced by the managers of both the Italian theatres in their peen' programmes of the meson. It is omisinly worthy of being imported, for it is a lively sad pleased piece, sad the musts is se agnseable as the drama. It has bees hmeght out at her Majesty's Theatre with great care— was ad mirably premised lest sight, and its recreptem was each se to give peonies of a successful run. The Merry Wives were permeated by Tithes and Bettel hsen, the first being Mrs. Peed, the mead Mrs.. Page. They both looked delightfully in their sugar leaf hate and other attire of the foerteenth century ; acted with great adman and spirit, ►nd sang most charmingly. They were ementisly different in manner. Molds. Bettelbeim bad the larger share a impulse and vivacity, while Thiene bad more the air of a yosthful mama, with stronger and more emosnested expression. Riper Junce's Falstaff was hardly °' tip to the mark.' HI acting was intelligent, sad hie singing was good ; but hie meaner was not unfrequently as heavy as his person, and his voice, in the lower part of the scale, was deficient in tone. featley was an excellent Ford ; hie picture of a jealem husband, under a comic aspect, was admirable, and nag superbly. Fenton, as we ham mid, is a mere singing part, bat Ging lini wing exquisitely ; and his air, " Nal brochette t rani& stoics" Fentea's serenade seder Aaae's window, was war bled so deliciously that it was rapturously incised. Arnim the other things that were especially effective were the duet, " Del too more," sting by Thiene and Bettelheim in the first seem ; the animated and very dramatic finale to the first act, Minder TitieMs air, " Ah, ah, ah !" with which that finale begins ; the very Sae duet between Anne Page and Fenton, " Sempre in dubbin," sung by Mdlle. Vitali and (Anglia ; and the legend of Herne the Heater, rung by Mdlle. Betteiheim with remarkable spirit and quaintness. The fairy music in the last seem is full of ',- minimums of Mendelasohn's Nielsessater Night's Dream ; unconscious reminiscences probably, but they are unfortu nate, as they rely betrayed the inferiority of the composer's pram The mac en scene is splendid and beautiful. The scene in Windsor Forest by moonlight, with Herne's oak rearing I IL scathed trunk in the foreground, is of itself well worth a visit to the theatre, even were there nothing else to see or hear.

The following is the language used by his Holiness : The bleed of the weak and of the innocent ales for vengeance Wore the throne of the Eternal *oast those who shed it. And in our days do we net see also innocent blood shed in • catholic country—in unhappy Poland— where that same catholic religion, for which Saint Fidelio gars his life, is so cruelly permeated ?

This monareh pensenses with a ferocious enmity the Polish nation, and he has undertaken the impious balk of extirpating the catholic religion in Poland, and of introducing schism by force. The priests of that catholic religion are forcibly teas from their docks ethers ere exiled ; others again are condemned to forced labour or to infamous punishment.

In casting opprobrium upon such acts we by no mains give an encouragement to European revolution. We well know how to make a difference between social revolution and the legitimate rights of • nation which Bangles for its independence and for the safety of religion. In stigmatising the persecutors of the catholic religion we WM a mead duty of our conscience.
