It seems quite possible that the war in Vir ginia may yet be resumed with vigour even on the very verge of winter. Snow is reported to have covered the whole country from Maine to Virginia, and even Kentucky—that is, from the most northern States to the most southern of the Border ones. The storm lasted twenty-four hours, and for twenty years had not been surpassed in violence. This was on the 6th. The date of the telegram is on the Bth; it tells, however of the movement of M'CLELLAN'S army, at the game time that it says the snow must have impeded the armies' movements on both sides. Hardly anything, indeed, can be conceived mole obstructive of the movements of an army, with all its artillery and baggage, than snow, especially in the parts where the Virginian armies now are. Snow is not only an obstruction to traffic ; but, as every one who, from the roadside, has looked into a wood when covered with snow will remember, it wonderfully reveals everything which, even in winter, would not be otherwise seen. It is as ad verse to the secrecy desirable in military move ments as to the progress of men and carriages. Yet it seems as if M'CLELLAN were really making a steady Southern advance. The reader must remember that the grand armies of Virginia are no longer before Washington. The inroad into Maryland changed all that. He must carry his eye on the map about eighty miles north west of Washington, along the Potomac, to the well-known Harper's Ferry, across which, princi pally, the Confederates retreated, and over which, after some delay, M'CLELLAN followed them, first with his right wing and centre, and afterwards with his left also. Harper's Ferry is at the junc tion of the Shenandoah, which runs northward along its large and fertile valley, with the Potomac. Near the westward bank of the Shenandoah, com mencing at Harpe r ' s Ferr y , is the lon g rid g e of t h e Blue Mountains. Alon g these, we are informed, M'CLELLAN is moving ; and he is said to have occu pied Ashby's Gap in them, about thirty miles from the Ferry. We may presume, therefore, that he has control of the Manassas Gap, which is but a few miles to the south, and through which the railway of that name runs, which leads ultimately to Wash ington ; the more so, since he certainly has pos session of Warrenton, which communicates with the same main railway. Indeed, we are told that all the approaches to Manassas are in the hands of the Federals. The position of Lee's army is uncertain. STONEWALL JACKSON'S division, however, cannot be far from NI•CLLELLasr, as we read of his taking up a position near, and of a slight encounter of o tvalry. What the plan of the Federals may be is not very apparent. Their main army is now sixty or seventy miles from the capital, and hardly so near Richmond as it would be if there, yet an advance on the Southern capital in that direction has been spoken. of. Th ere ma y b e "strategic reasons" for this, but what they are we cannot perceive in this country. Washington, and M'CLELLAN'S present position on the Blue Mountains, with the rail roads conne c ti ng them, form the southern base of a trian g l e , of w hich th e P otomac an d the Blue Mou n t a i ns form respectiv e ly the eastern and western sides t h e Northern v ertex ( end of tih? b , with is the nearest easy to see Wla _me Y a move on Harper's Ferry as As the Washington Richmond, it in : i ton not that city should be at- • tt.:4: •• mot o s 'AT • " THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1862. tempted at the other. No gunboats could aid in that direction. Nor, is it easy to see how M'CLELLAN could move a hundred miles south to Richmond, and secure his communications all the time against the destructive raids of STUART'S cavalry, and STONEWALL JACKSON. On the whole we lean to one of two suppositions. That either he is really seeking a great battle, in the hope of giving a brighter aspect to the Northern campaign, or that he is planning to keep the Virginian army fully occupied by a steady southward pressure, while the Federals are renewing smaller attacks on different points of the seaboard and on the rivers. An expedition has been already organised to Texas, which, if successful, as seems most likely, would be of great importance. We read of another of 12,000 men, with gunboats, leaving Newbern, in North Carolina, of which the destination is un known. Such is the uncertain position of military affairs—the best, however, that we can lay before the reader. From the South we have no further information at all, except that the conscription, which now in chides all between 18 and 45, is becoming " very unpopular if not odious." The Alabama, indeed, and her destructive doings, seem to be making more noise just now than the armies of the South. She is reputed, unluckily for her, if true, to have seized one vessel which, both ship and cargo, belonged to British owners, and Admiral MILNE has been in formed of it. We can hardly think, however, that Capt. SE3IMES would be more foolhardy than Capt. WILKES, Had it been a cargo of munitions of war intended for the Federals, he would have either ap propriated of destroyed them ; but it is little likely that he would have suddenly brought on himself English by the destruction of a British ship. It must, however, be remembered that, while he had no port into which to take her, he was as much entitled to destroy a British ship carrying arms to his enemies as the Federals who have ports to take her into them and sell her: It would at least make no difference to the owners of the ship whether she were sold for the benefit of the captors or de stroyed by them. The war policy does not seem to be relaxed at Washington by the political defeat, but if any thing invigorated. Not only is M'CLELLAN mov ing southwards, in his slow and steady way, but the ever-unpopular draughting is to be pressed at New York. Perhaps this is a Governmental penalty for Democratic triumphs. It will be a fair one. The Democrats made loud complaints of the inefficiency of the war administration, and if they are drawn for the army in greater numbers than they like, they will have no reason to complain. Mr. SEWARD is reported to be making things a little " delicate" in the relations of his Government with Foreign Powers. We should not be surprised at this. Since from the time of the Prince of WALES' visit, he has frankly told us that quarrels with Europe, with England espe cially, were the road to popularity in America : and since he has just had such a threatening inti mation that his popularity is waning, he may have no objeetion to do things which will compell all Americans to back him. He has been " currying favour" with New York merchants in the matter of the Alabama, and instructing, he says, Mr. ADAMS to attend to the subject here; alleging that the Alabama has been sent out in violation of Muni cipal and International laws. We should say so too. The parties to the business all did it at their own risk. We should not move a finger for their protection ; if they like to play for such stake■ let them. We cannot, however, afford to put on extra police to spare the American Government trouble. She was welcome to catch the Alabama and burn her as soon as she was well clear of the Mersey, but that was her business. We treat both parties alike; we take no more trouble to stop Mr. SEWARD'S contraband of war, than that which is owned by the South. It is not reasonable we should be put to expense and trouble to do either. If Mr. SEWARD throws on us the watching of our ports, let him withdraw his bullies from the blockade of the Bermudas and the Bahamas. If he takes the the business into his •wn hands, let him not com plain of us for leaving it there. If Revolutions nowadays are not exactly accom plished with rosewater, they are repeatedly effected with a very small waste indeed of gunpowder. King after King is dismissed now—if with any firing at all—with simply a feu de joie. A dynasty is done away with in a day : and, when the hurly burly of the popular rising is all over, it is found that the old sovereign has been driven away by nothing mote formidable than the scornful tumult of a oharivari. It was so with Louis PHILIPPE I. (and last) King of the French, It has been so more recently (but a very few weeks since) with OTHO I. (and last) King of Greece. In February, 1848, when the dethroned chief of the Orleans Dynasty was in full flight towards the coast, with his whiskers shaved off and his pear-shaped wig discarded, when the poor old affrighted ex-King, wrapped up in an old pea-jacket, was bargaining to take boat to cross over the Channel to New haven—an artisan in a blouse called out, in answer to the announcement of the King's flight, in the midst of the hubbub in the mob-invaded Chamber of Deputies, called out two cheery good-humoured words of comment—Bon Voyage! The significance of the whole movement was expressed in that one exclamation. It spoke at once of the power of the People and of the impotence of the Sovereign. Still more complete, still more coolly contemptuous has been the triumph won by the insurgent Greeks over a Monarch who has passed away from the midst of them, at the end of thirty years of misrule, an object less of derision than of indifference. The rising of the multitude throughout the kingdom of Greece is of itself enough. King OTHO, Queen AMELIA, the Court, the whole of its " entourage" people of some importance and of no importance are all swept aside at a breath. They are scared away by the mere fact of this rising. Not a shot has to be fired. There is not even a pretence—there is, in fact, no single opportunity—of anything like a hostile collision between the troops of the line and the insurgent population. Simply and instantly at the rising of the Revolutionists—meaning by these all Greece—the Bavarian dynasty has passed away. The Notice to Quit is so peremptory, that King OTHo (for once like a man of common sense) hesitates not a moment about taking his departure. His MAJESTY stands not one superfluous instant upon the order of his going, but goes. Passing through Venice he reaches, after an easy railway j:urney, his old ancestral home, the Bavarian Capital, Munich--to wonder as he drives through the streets of that Metropolis, ' from the station to the Palace, what in the name of his ill-Fortune, the Bavarian multitude, thronging the footpaths on either hand, to gaze at him, can me an by cheering himself and his exiled triumph, the closethey hofadajust gloriouscom possibly plet Consort ed, b t y o a the signal echo. Asum career, instead of—in plain, homely te rms—maki ng an egregious failure of it. Mean time, while OTHo nal tri and AMELIA. are still marvelli n g u p on that in opportune Bavarian ovation that r in g s in their ears like another Greek CHAnIVARI—the triumphant Revolutionists they have leftbehind them in Athens are quietly going on just as usual; as coolly and collectedly as if nothing whatever of an extraordi nary nature had just occurred. Traversing the streets of the violet crowned city of the Acropolis from end to end, the Eyewitness sent out there to watch the actual appearance of Revolutionised Greece, as the representative of our chief morning contemporary, protests, in his earlier despatches from Athens, that there are visible in no one direction the tokens cf a recent rising of the multitude, or of the recent expulsion of a Sovereign. Modern Greece, unlike Ancient Greece, may still, too, abundantly have to "suckle fools" upon her soil; but, obviously, " Our Special Correspondent" has nothing better for it but, on first reaching Athens, to " chronicle small beer"—judging at least from his two prefa tory communications, the only missives of his that have yet made their appearance. In proof of this, here is his record, for instance, of the circumstances attendant upon his first arrival at the Piraeus : " At last the morning dawned which was to bring us to the end'of our journey. Although there was no chance of arriving before noon all was bustle from early dawn. Carpetbags and parcels were opened, and the best clothes taken out to prepare for the great moment—clean shirt-collars made their appearance, and the wet towel was plied about the face a second or two longer than the morning before." Carpetbags ! parcels shirt-collars ! wet towels ! Surely if he had nothing better to write about than this, " Our Special Correspondent" might have spared much of the time, ink, and paper ex pended in the production of his first lengthy and tolerably readable, but wholly unimportant com munication. As a further specimen, however, of the frivolity of this initiatory letter, here is the record made of the advance through the harbour of the Plans to the Dogana—" Which,"•he observes, "is to the right hand of the harbour. And the first sight which meets you is that of a number of armed civilians standing about the place They are the improvised National Guard of the town of Pirmus, mostly young men under 20, and evidently belonging to the wealthier classes. Every one has adopted some distinctive sign, with not much regard to uniformity. Blue scarfs, red scarfs, blue muslin or red ones round their wide-awakes, red ribands or tricolour ones, white, red, and blue, in their but tonholes. They understand their mission, for they keep off the rowdies who crowd about you and your luggage. A civil douanier helps you to open your trunks, and having looked at them without turn ing out everything, helps you again to shut them up," Passing through the Custom - house—" Out side," he continues, " are the hackney coachmen, eager for prey, as of old, every one anxious to set forth the advantages of his own vehi c le. Y ou choose, and off starts in a gallop your triumphant Jehu. You look about you as you pass through the town of Piraeus. There are the idlers before the coffee and wine shops as of old ; the artisans in their workshops, neither more nor less excited than usual. Your coachman stops to pay the toll at the outskirts of the town ; once more you look back from the hill on which you are to the town and harbour behind, and your carriage rolls down at a rapid pace into the plain which separates Athens from the Piraeus. It is rather more dusty than usual, for there has been no rain for several months, and the watering has been discontinued since the revolution ; but right and left the labourers are busy clearing the dust away from the roots of the young trees, and bank ing it up all round so as to form a trough for the water, which they may hope for in less busy times." Altogether the picture here drawn of Athens on the morrow of her last revolution is one indicative, on the part of the Greek multitude, of extraordinary self possession and deliberate tranquillity. From which state of things we cannot certainly but augur the very best as to the wisdom of the final decision arrived at by the population as to their future Government. Particularly as to the wisdom of their eventual selection of the head of that Govern ment. Gradually, from the very first, the pre ference appears to be settling down almost unani mously upon the second son of the Queen of ENG LAND, as among all the Princes hitherto spoken of as likely to be promoted to the throne—the favou rite eandidate. To the selection of Prince ALFRED by the Greeks there are, undoubtedly, many in ducements. Elevate his Royal Highness to the throne of Greece, and you assure at once to Greece all the powerful sustaining and strengthen ing influence derivable from that bond of union. with the reigning power of England ! At once moreover, you ensure to Greece the most reasonable' probability of a very considerable territorial aggrandisement ! One which the Greeks have long hankered after—viz., the acquisition of the lonian Islands ! That probability, that all but certainty of the annexation of the lonian Islands to the kingdom of Greece, is of itself an almost irresistible induce ment to the Greeks to select Prince ALFRED as their future Sovereign ! Above all, the inducements to that choice of his R oyal Highness is the one now very powerfully among all Greek multitude—the fact Highness' s selection as King of Greece t a nti n tk i hs f ei and n t R l d y o cylaals operatin g ses o f the would be the securest of all possible guarantees to Greece, of the priceless blessing of a good Consti tutional Government. It is true that the arrange ment entered into thirty years ago in the presence of all Christendom, by the great poWers of Conti nental Europe, precluded from nomination to the throne of Greece, any Prince of the reigning houses of England, of France, or of Russia. But the contract containing that solemn and rigid stipula tion has no w been completely and publicly cancelled —also in presence of all Christendom. uaneened Ly the Greeks themselves, through the medium of their late revolution, cancelled with the recognition and connivance of the three great contracting powers, who now act, in regard to Greece, upon the Non intervention principle. The Greeks have got rid of their late King of themselves. They can make choice of their new King—just as freely—of themselves. Obviously they could haruly make a better choice than by the nomination of his Royal Highness, the second son of Queen VICTORIA, as ALFRED, King of GREECE. THE PRINCE OF WALES.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will prepare for his return home to day, after his extended tour in company with their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia. Since Monday letters and papers for the Prince of Wales have been directed to Marseilles. STEAMERS FOR THE CONFEDERATES.—The fleet of first-class steamers that have been purchased in this country for the purpose of running the blockade are leaving gradually. The swift river steamer Ruby, 120 tons, and the splendid Belfast mail steamer Giraffe, 360 tons, sailed on Saturday afternoon from Greenock. They have both undergone a strengthening outfit for the passage. The Ruby is commanded by Captain Gregory, has 22 men, and sails in fuel. The Giraffe is commanded by Captain Duguid, has 50 men, and takes out a valuable cargo in boxes, cases, and packages (containing .‘ Gregory's pills," it is said), and over £13,000 worth of leather boots, £4,300 worth of medicines, and £6OO worth of surgical instruments. The Giraffe also takes out 30 passengers, as they are styled ; but these are said to be more useful than ornamental.— Glasgow llorntng Journal. ROBBERY OF A F RENC H EXHIBITOR. Yesterday morning M.

D'OUBRIL, CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF RUSSIA AT PARIS. " Sir,—l herewith enclose yon a copy of a des patch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys, which the Duke of Montebello has been charged to communicate to us. " It concerns the affairs of North America, and its object is to invite us to an entente with France and England to take advantage of the actual lassitude of the parties to propose, in common, a suspension of hosti,lities. " In reply to this overture, I reminded the French Ambassador of the solicitude which our august master has never ceased to feel for the American conflict from its very onset, a solicitude caused by the amicable relations existing between the two countries, and of which the Imperial Cabinet has given public proofs. I have assured him that no thing could better respond to our wishes than to see the termination approach of a struggle which we deplore, and that to this effect our Minister at Washington has instructions to seize every favour able opportunity to recommend moderation and con ciliation, so as to appease conflicting passions, and lead to a wise settlement of the interests at stake.. I admitted that such counsels would certainly have greater weight if presented simultaneously and in the same friendly manner by the Great Powers who take an interest in the issue of this conflict. " But I added that, in our opinion, what ought specially to be avoided was the appearance of any pressure whatsoever of a nature to wound pubic opinion in the United States, and to excite suscep tibilities very easily aroused at the bare idea of foreign intervention. Now, according to the infor mation we have hitherto received, we are inclined to believe that a combined step between France, Eng land, and Russia, no matter how conciliatory and cautiously done, if it was taken with an official and collective character, would run the risk of causing precisely the very opposite of the object of pacifica tion, which is the aim of the wishes of the three Courts; " We have, therefore, drawn the conclusion, that if the French Government should persist in deeming a formal and collective step opportune, and that if the English Cabinet shares that opinion, it would be im possible for us, at the distance we are at, to anti cipate the manner in which such a measure would be received. But if, in that case, our Minister should not participate officially, his moral support is not the less acquired beforehand to any attempt at conciliation. " By giving it to his colleagues of France and o f England under the friendly form (forme ogicieuse) which he might deem best suited to avoid the ap pearance of pressure, M. de Stoeckl will only be continuing the position and language which, by order of our august master, he has never ceased to observe since the commencement of the American quarrel. " It is in this sense that I invite you to explain yourself to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs iu eply to the oomroueiontinin ha have mad° to I am, &c. " GORTSCHAKOFF, " St. Petersburg, Oct. 27 (Nov. 8), 1862," DEBUT OF MDLLE. PAI7I IN PARIS. (From Galignani's Messenger.) One of the most brilliant successes witnessed in Paris for many years attended the debut of the above-named young lady at the Italian Opera on Sunday night. The opera selected fur the occasion was "La Sonnambula," and fre quently as we have listened to that beautiful work, from which the favour of the Parisian has never swerved for a single season since Bellini first gave it to the world, and in which we have therefore year after year heard those great mistresses of the art, Mdmes. Persiani, Sontag, and Cruvelli, to say nothing of lesser lights, yet it has never been our fortune to meet a representative of the gentle vil lage maiden, so peculiarly qualified by every gift of nature —grace, youth, charm of person, feeling, and expression, to say nothing of loveliness of voice and marvellous powers of execution—as we find united in Mdlle. Adelina Patti. Her voice is a high soprano, clear, resonant, and bril liant in tone, and disciplined to a perfection that opens an entirely new view as to the extent vocal education is carried in America, for it is understood that, though of Italian birth, our new nightingale owes her musical tuition wholly to the United States. But her voice, beautiful as it is, is yet not the highest of her gifts, for the feeling and pathos she displayed as an actress in the deeper portions of the character won her an ovation the like of which is sel dom witnessed in this city. E,ecall upon recall, bouquets, and overwhelming plaudits followed in succession, and it may be questioned if Mdlle. Patti ever received a wel come more hearty, cordial, and enthusiastic in any capital she has visited than from the proverbially cold public of the Italian Opera House in Paris. For the present we shall conclude by one word to express our admiration—in common with the entire audience—of her execution in the delicious finale of the opera, " Ah, non giunge," every tone of which breathed the spirit of ecstatic joy, and so close with hearty congratulations on her brilliant and most deserved success. The following was posted yesterday at Lloyd's : " It is reported that a steamer has left Liverpool with a view of capturing or destroying vessels and cargoes sailing under the Federal flag, and that another will shortly fol low." NEW TARTUFFE. The chef d'ouvre of Moliere was revived in its English version at this theatre last evening, for the benefit of Mr. Anson, the able treasurer of the house, and with the view of gratifying the public with one of the most masterly delineations which our English stage presents. Genius is always shown by its sympathies, since it does best what it loves most, and it is no little triumph for Mr. Webster that he can say his best success has been in the highest effort of the greatest comic poet of modern times. Wfuever sees him in this character will see him in his strength. The per formance is an evidence of that rare union of quali ties which can not only balance breadth of concep tion with exactness of detail, but interpret with equal fidelity the outer and "inner life of man—and thus rise to the higher adjustment, of the accidental and the enduring. The Tartuffe of Mr. Webster is not more the jesuit of the old French court than he is the jesuit of our own day. True in form to one of the periods, he is true in soul to both. We have only to peel off the picturesque shell of dress and expression of the Renaissance to find the core of passions and purposes of 1862 beneath. It is thus acting becomes an art, and rises to its claim of a mental instrument, and it is the possession of this art which sets Mr. Webster apart as one of the true comedians of his day. Of the admirable detail of this performance, familiar as it is to the public, we can have no occasion to say a word. Mr. Webster was warmly welcomed on his en- trance on this occasion—vas followed with marked attention through all his leadiLg scenes, and loudly called for at the close. He was most worthily sup ported by the Dorine of Mrs. Mellon—a con ception that was steeped just as truly in the spirit of Moliere, and executed with a warmth and naturalness that no other actress of our day could parallel. The other entertainments were the farce of " Ici on Parle Francaise," the comic scene of "Blue Beard," by Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul, and the second act of" The Green Bushes," in which Miss Avonia Jones manifested all her extraordinary powers. The house was crowded to the roof. THE SIOOK OF COJTON. The stock of cotton on hand at Liverpool con tinues to be pretty well maintained, but it is only kept up by the great restriction observable in the consumption and export. Matters reached their lowest point early in September, and, on the whole, they have since improved, as the following state ment shows : 1862. 1861. 1860. Stook. Bales. Bales. Bales.

It appears probable that this year's receipts of cotton will reach a total of from 1,250,000 to 1,300,000 bales, of which'dbout 50,000 bales will be derived from America, so that the deficiency in the supplies, as compared with those which have come to hand in prosperous years, will be somewhete between 60 and 70 per cent. The quantity now at sea, how ever, is in excess of that en route at the correspond ing period of 1861; and, looking at the great stimulus which production has everywhere received, there appears to be good reason for believing that the estimate that 1,600,000 or 1,700,000 bales will be received in 1863—even in the event of the un happy hostilities in America being continued throughout that year also—is well founded, and likely to be justified by actual experience. As suming that this is the case, employment in Lan cashire may be expected to regain a little of its former buoyancy, as the mills can be kept running three or four days per week.
