But we are unwilling to lose the advantage of • few words of esplanatiou, and we therefore trust the candour of the reader for a just iuterpretallon of our meaning. The "Pall Mall Gazette " will contsbx all the news proper to as evening Journal. But, addressed as it will be to educated men and women, the space of the paper will not be occupied by trifling chronicles, nor by that mess of word' which adds no thing to the laterest of arwrpoper records, while ft destroys their sigalliceace. Literary cionsideretions storm would deter raise us to hare our news reports 'Meths in plain lingliah but beyond them them is the fact that the Imams to be found In many an accident of human life or social polity are lost in the turgid language In which they are conunoaly narrated. Emote made known by the morning papers may be discussed In the " Pall Mall Gazette" of the same day, but they will not be reported anew. Trusts orthy edifices from the money market will he included in the news of the day. The rest of the paper lxy far the greater part) will he made up of original articles, upon the many things which engage the thoughts, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of man. kind. Public affairs, literature, the arts, and all the influences which strengthen or dissipate society, will be discussed by men whose ladependeooe and authoeity am equally unquestionable, and who are accustomed to regard the public expression of opinion as • serious thing. This la the chief aim of the " Pall Mali Gazette :" to bring into daily journalism that full measure of thought and culture ankh la now found only in a few re views. At the same time, we by no means Intend to make the paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well as ton pleasant, to be left out of the design . which will lose none of the advantages of occasional trifling it • thing can be said holier In verse than in prose, it will be laid In versa. Epigram, but not spite—burlesque, but nut vulgarity—will be readily ad mitted Into its column, and mince a Joke Is often as IllnstraUve as an argument, good jokes will be welcome too, It will be understood that this advertisement is rather • proclamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But the Cr.eiron la not made before a large number of able writers tv a e t i l ited the Idea, and pledged themselves to the effort.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1865. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (isuratle TauntAlm) AUSTRIA AND THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL. VIENNA, JAN. 8. The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day says " The Encyclical, and the catalogue of errors ap pended thereto, will be communicated to the bishops in Austria. In conformity with the Con cordat between Austria and the Pope, the Imperial Government can exercise no influence with respect to the form in which the Encyclical and its appen dix should be promulgated, inasmuch as it could not do so without passing an opinion upon the act of the Holy Father, a course which at present would be uncalled for. The Imperial Government recognises in the Encyclical merely a statement of Pontifical views, which are not of a character to alter the laws and regulations at present existing in Austria." POLAND. BERLIN, JAir. 8. The Norddeutsehe Zeitung of to-day says The Poliah refugees abroad are again agitating, and a fresh outbreak is probably in contemplation. It is reported from various quarters that she Poles are preparing as insurrection in the governments of Lithuania and fiamogitia, and that armed refugees will land on the Baltic coast of those provinces." DENMARK. OOPENHAGEN, .I As. 7. The Minister of Finance has submitted a bill to the Rigsraad throwing the coasting trade open to all nations who will grant • similar privilege to Danish shipping. SPAIN AND ST. DOMINGO. MADRID, Jut. 7 . Marshal Naretiez has submitted a bill to the Congress abolishing the decree of the 19th May, 1861, declaring the Dominican territory to be rein corporated into the Spanish monarchy. The pre amble of the bill says :—" Spain believed that the Dominicans were desirous of living under Spanish protection, but resistance has become too serious to render it possible any longer to maintain such an illusion. It would be a conquest, and the policy of Spain is not one of conquest." A favourable impression has been produced by the above proposition. The draft of the address in reply to the royal speech has been read in the Senate. Seventy-ose new senators have been appointed from the Congress. A Paris letter, in the indepeadonse of Brussels, says :—" A germ! reorganisation. 'kWh would reader public instruction gratuitous and obligatory, begins to be seriously talked of. The ideas of M.

THE FRENCH CLERGY AND THE ENCYCLICAL— The Union publishes the text of a letter which the Arch. bishop of Cambrai has just addressed to the Minister of Public Worship, acknowledging the reception of the minis terial circular forbidding the publication by the bishops of the first part of the encyclical letter of the Bth December, and of the syllabus annexed to it. The reverend prelate complains that the biehops alone should be preveuted from publishing a document which especially coseerus them aced their flocks, while all the enemies of the church are per. milted to publish it with whatever commentaries they may please. After quoting a long passage front a letter which he himself addressed, some eighteen years ago, to the then Minister of Public Worship on the occasion of a similar pro hibition, he adds that he is Dow the more astonished at the present restriction imposed on the catholic clergy, that the most anti-Christian and even atheistical doctrines are allowed to be freely disseminated, and he uks whether it is too much for him to claim equal latitude for catholic instruction. The archbishop concludes by &rowdies that whatever obstacles may be opposed to the communications between the Vicar of Jesus Christ and the catholic clergy, no human governments can relieve the bishops from the obligation of tranamitticg his instructions to their diocesans.

An official despatch from General Sherman to the Presideut, dated at Savannah, on Thursday, the 22ed December, announces his occupation of that city, and the capture of one hundred and fifty guns, a large quantity of ammunition, and about 25,000 bales el cotton. General Sherman's brief despatch is supplemented by an official despatch from General Foster to General Grant, in which the particulars of the occupation of the city are given. General Foster states that Savan nah was occupied by General Sherman on the 21st ult., and that on the preceding day and night, General Hardee, anticipating an assault, had escaped with the main body of his infante/ and light artillery, by crossing the river to Union Causeway, opposite the city. The Confederate iron dads were blown up and the navy-yard burned. All the rest of the city remains intact, and contains 20,000 citizens, who are quiet and well disposed. The captures include, according to General Foster, 800 prisoaers, 150 guns, 13 locomotives, 190 oars, a large supply of ammunition, and other material of war, three steamers, and 33,000 bales of cotton (General Sherman says 25,000). The fleet was in communication with the city, and arrangements were making to clear the channel of all obstructions. The following are the official despatches an nouncing this important event. They were pub lished on the 26th ult. : Wm Department, Washington, Deo. 25. To Major-General Dix, New York—A despatch bee been received this evening by the President from General Sher man.

By the fortunes of war we to-day par under the autho rlty of the Federal military forces. The insulation of Savannah by the Confederate army, which took place last night, left the gates to the city open, and General Sherman I with his army will no doubt today take possession. The mayor and common council leave under flag of truce this neeraiog for the headquarters of General Sherman, to offer W ennuadw of the city and ask terms of capitulation by which private property act citizens may be respected. We Amen to counsel obedience sad all proper respect on the part of our caimans, and to express the belief that their reperty and persons will be respected by our military ruler. The fear expressed by many that General Sherman will repeat the order of expulsion from our homes which he enforced against the citizens of Atlanta we think to be without fonadatioa. He assigned his reason in that case as a military necessity. it was • question of food. He amid not supply his army and the citizens with food, end he stated that he most have full and sole occupation. Bat in our came food eon be abundantly supplied for both army and citizens. We would not be understood as even intimating that we are to be fed at the coat of the Federal government, but that food can be easily obtained, in all probability, by all who can afford to (Ay in the Federal ennency. It behoves all to keep within their houses until General Sherman shall have organised a provost system and such polka sa will insure safety to persons ma well as property. Let our corded be such as to win the admira tion of a magnanimoos foe, and give to ground for corn plaid or harsh treatment on the put of him who will far an indefinite period hold possession of our city. In our city there are, as in other communities, a large proportion of poor and needy families, who, in the present situation of affairs, brought about by the privations of war, will be thrown upon the bounty of their more fortunate neighbours. Deal with than kindly, eizerolse your philanthropy sad benevolence, and lot the hearth of the unfortunate not be deserted by your frimadly aid. The New York Tanta speaks in the following terms of Elberman'a latent victory : "The time ooverediby Sherman's campaisn,from the day be left Rome until he planted his army within the defences of Savannah, was just about forty days. The campaign will stand as one of the most striking feats in military history, and will prove one of the heaviest blows at the vitality of the great Southern rebellion." SHERMAN'S LATEST MOVEMENTS. Sherman's latest movements are thus referred to in a despatch from Mr. Stanton, published on the 28th ult.: SICRZTAZT STANTON TO lIAJOIMOZNIMLL DEL War Dopartmaat, Washington, Doe. 27.

Richmond papers of the rah December an nounced the commencement of the attack of the land and naval forces under Genteel Butler and Admiral Porter on the confederate Fort Fiber, at the mouth of Cape Fear river, 20 miles below Wil mington, N.C. On the 24th December over kfty vessels, many of them heavily armed, and inclucTing two monitors, made their appearance below the fort, and at one o'clock in the afternoon commenced on it a furious attack, which was kept up till night. At ten o'clock the next day (Sunday) the attack was renewed, and was kept up all day, the fi re being very severe and continuous. Under its cover three brigades of Union infantry were landed two miles and a half above the fort, and, although the Confe derates endeavoured to drive them off, they held their ground. Late on the night of the 25th an infantry attack was made on the fort, but this the Southern despatches say was repulsed. The following are the official despatches respecting these operations : War Deportment, Washingtol, Dec. 27. Najor•General Dix, New York.—The following extracts from Richmond papers of to-day bare been forwarded to the department by General Grant : " Wilmington, N. C., Deo. 25. "Ths esesny's fleet, over 60 vessels, inaludieg two Ifosibn, several armed vessels, and many heavily armed frigates and alcepo-of-war, made a furious attack on Fort Fisher about one o'clock yesterday, and kept up an average fin of 30 shots per minute until night. Our loss is 23 wounded. The attack wee renewed at ten o'clock this morning, and has been vary furious sad ocntinnoes. No report of casualties to-day.

Prisoners report the Twenty-kanth corps of the Yankee army present modem Butler." The above despatches are commuted an as follows : " From our Wilesioaton despatches it will be men that the Yankee fleet attacked Fart Fisher about one o'clock p.m. en Saturday, sod bombarded It heavily until aightlell, renewing the bombardment at tea o'cleek c Smithy rooming, and continuing it throughout the day that midst cover of the fire of the Seel the enemy landed an infantry force above Fort Fisher, which attacked this fort on Sunday night and was repulsed. Foil Fisher is situated on a wuxlspit on the right bank of the Cape Fear River, at its mouth, twenty miles below Wilmingtoa. The enemy, we presume, reached their position shove the fort, not by palming up the river, where they would hays been obliged to m the gauntlet of the guns both of Fisher and of Caswell on the left bank, but by landing on the beach east of the mouth of Cape Fair River. The essay bevies effected a lodgment above the fort is a serious matter. It will cost double the tone to dislodge him that would have prevented his landing." EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of WY. Wu Department, Washington, Dee. 28. - - Major-General Dix, New York.—The following extracts from Riche:wed papers of today bay* ban received by the department : " Wilmington, Dec. TA "To his Enslimey the Pmaidont of the Oodeden States :—The enemy lu rwenebarked under the cover of his fleet. His movement is not developed. I have viaited Fort Fisher, and find the damage slight, excepting the buildinp not necessary for defence. Only two guns were disabled. The marks remaining indicate that the bombard. mint was very heavy. Major General Whiting, command. lag the defends at the mouth of the river; Colonel Lamb, commanding the fort, sad the officers and men comprising the garrison, deserve especial commendation for the gallan try, efficiency, and fortitude displayed under very trying circumetanoes.—(Signed), BRAXTON BLUM." The latest despatches revealing the Wilmington expedition are cnitradictory. and somewhat difficult to understand. The New York Times of the 29th thus refers to them :—" First came one yester day afternoon from Fortress Monroe, which was published in the evening papers, and professed to be upon official authority, announcing that both the land and naval forces bad returned from Wil mington to Fortress Mouroe, and conveying the im pression that the etepeditiou Iliad suddenly and un expectedly proved unsuccessful. It did not seem possible that this despatch could be correct, as we were otherwise informed that opera tions were still in progress on Monday last. This first despatch was soon followed by another from Washington, staying that it would seem to be a mistake that the naval and military fleet had returned ; that the Navy Department had no such intelligence;' and giving some details of movements. In the course of the night, Secre tary Stanton'. official bulletin came to mini ; but all it contained regarding the Wilmington expedi tion was an extract front the Richmond papers of yesterday, which averred that Admiral Porter's naval bombardment had done very little damage to Fort Fisher, and that Butler's troops had re embarked on fouday night. We shall have to wait for later advice. before we can comprehend the situation at Wilmington." _ . . Tan Hos. MULTI( STAWLZT ox Tail ANZMICAN Wen.—On Thmseday mash. the Hes.
