THE SUN. Loxi)oN, MONDAY, SEPT. 30, 1861. French pamphlets are now followed by some what confident French rumours. The pamphlets have handed over the temporal power of the POPE to a popular vote, with the French commander for Returning Officer, and guaranteed his spiritual in dependence in the manner we described a few days ago. The action, we are told, is now to follow. The EMPEROR'S return from Biarritz, which should be to-day, is the time fixed for discussing and finally settling the affairs of Italy, at least those in which France is directly concerned ; while doubtless there will be a good understanding about the future of Venetia. That subject, however, does not press so much. The cruelties practised there are doubt less great. A specimen of what Austrian rule still is will be found in our columns to-day; by which it appears that woman flogging has been commuted for filthy imprisonment. Still Rome is in all points of view the first business to be settled, even in the interest of Venetia itself. What ought to be the capital of Italy is now the capital of the brigandage which disturbs all the South in the name of the POPE and the the Bourbon, and is aided by the funds of both. It is therefore the Roman question which must be settled first. Even the names of the counsellors who give the French Ministers and the EMPEROR the benefit of their exacter knowledge are mentioned. That of Count VIMERCATI, the confidential envoy of VICTOR EMMANUEL, is the most hopeful one in the list. M. BENEDETTI, the newly appointed French represen tative at Turin, is to return and share in the consul- tations. Prince NAPOLEON, it is said, will be pre sent, who ought to wish well to his wife's father, though the Tuscans preferred the father-in-law to the son-in-law. Another French diplomatist from Rome is to co-operate. The mountain in labour ought to bring forth something at which Europe will not Laugh, at - which Italians will rejoice, and which will, after some twelve years of the most shameless intervention on record, confer on France the honour of ceasing to abuse superior strength. The issue of the French intervention south of the Alps had almost condoned the Villany of the Roman intervention, but the lingering on with that purely arbitrary suppression of the liberties of Rome has deprived France of half the gratitude which she bad seemed to earn from Italy and liberal Europe. It is, indeed, time that France surrendered the custody of the Romans and the_ POPE, and left both to take their own course. The indications are certainly very hopeful, A firm alliance with a strong Italy is the avowed policy of the chief of the EXPEBORN Cabi - net, and of the cousin who connects the upstart house of the NAPOLEONS with the very ancient Royal dynasty of Savoy. The last pamphlet, which must have for its author some one deeply versed in the last plans of the Cabinet of Turin, offers what must be thought the fullest guarantees for the spiritual in dependence and the appropriate honours of the Pope. Indeed, as we remarked before, there will probably be no State in Catholic Europe where the PokE will be allowed such free ecclesiastical action as in Italy; while funds, cardinals, and guards of honour are provided him at the cost of all the Catholic Powers, and in a manner to give these Powers about an equal representation in his coun cil. Mr. SPOONER and Mr. WHALLEY, reading tee programme, will exclaim that the PorE would be a mightier ecclesiastical potentate than ever, and would gird themselves afresh for war to the knife, with that national tribute to Popery, the Maynooth grant ! Amongst the Signs of the Hours—is the circum stance mentioned in to•day's telegrams. Father PASSAGLIA has published at Florence a pamphlet condemnatory of the temporal power of the Papacy. We have not yet seen it, but it is said, as might well be expected, to have produced an immense sensation. The journals are rejoicing in the sup port afforded by so eminent a theologian to the Italian cause. Father PASSAGLIA is, in fact, the POPE'S own theological champion. Pius IX., it will be remembered, is the Papal parent of a new article of faith. The notion of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin had been a dream of many Romish enthusiasts and fanatics, but the present PorE, after prayer, till he supposed himself duly inspired, by a decree of his own required all the faithful to believe that the Virgin's sinful parents gave birth to an immaculate daughter. As many Bishops and theologians of no small repute were hostile to the new dogma up to the moment of its Papal parturition, it was deemed necessary to provide a champion against possible assailers of the new article of faith during its tender years. This Father PASSAGLIA, who now attacks theologically the temporal power of the POPE, was the man appointed by him to do theolo gical battle with all comers, for the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin. We have little doubt that this time he has written a good deal of sound theology ; we are sure that all men of common sense will accept his conclusions ; and in a case so very clear, we can hardly doubt that we might pledge ourselves to endorse also the greater part of his arguments. The pamphlet will not be overlooked in the deliberations at Paris. Probably the likeli hood of its speedy appearance had been already known there. The news we publish, received this afternoon from America, is important. The letter of the Pre sident to General FREMONT, ordering a modification of his proclamation to the limits of the Act of Con gress relating to the emancipation of rebels' negroes, will show the jealousy of the PRESIDENT on behalf of the safety of the domcstic institution. He had, it appears, written* to the general previously, to make the modification ; but FREMONT preferred that it should appear to be the PRESIDENT'S ac+, and replied requestin g him to issue an open order for the modification. This the PRESIDENT imme diately did. The chief difference was that the act confiscated negroes employed in any way in the war. FREMONT confiscated, that is emancipated, the slaves of the men who took part in the war them selves. In point of effectiveness towards the suc cess of the war, the General's plan was obviously far the better. He struck at the very combatants themselves. They paid the penalty of fighting for slavery by losing their slaves. A righteous retribu tion most will think, independently of the main ques tion. We fear the moral courage of Mr. LINCOLN more than ever. He is not only afraid to use the only weapon which can succeed, but when another uses it, under martial law—which the highest authority tells us is the will of the General-in- Chief Commanding even then, poor ABRAHAM LINCOLN quails, and begs him to deal more gently with the slaveholders for his sake. The military news from the same State of Mis souri shows that FREMONT has no child's play while the PRESIDENT is entreating him to be so moderate. At Lexington, in the further west of Missouri, PRICE, the Confederate General, attacked Colonel MULLIGAN, who was intrenched, with 17,000 men; surrounded Lexington, and summoned the Colonel to surrender. The latter refused. PRICE attacked, and was defeated, we are told, with the enormous loss of 4,000 men, the Federals losing 800. We read of another battle also at Bonneville, also on the River Mis souri, but not so far west, with a loss of 650 to the Federals. Not long ago General LYONS was killed at Springfield in the south-west, and his army, under General STIEGLER, obliged to retreat, and this is the State in which the PRESIDENT wants the General in chief command to modify his most efficient proclamations ! In Kanzas itself, the land of the old struggles, adjoining Missouri, the Confederate troops largely outnumbered the Federals both in men and artillery, and in a battle fought there, the latter had to retreat. In Western Virginia the Federals have still the advantage, and FLOYD appears to be retreating. Numerous regiments,numbering from 6,000 to 10,000 men, have been shipped off suddenly from New York, quite unaware of their destination, and no one able to guess beyond the moral certainty that they are to repeat if possible the successful attack on Fort Hatteras, at other places on the Southern coast. At least three naval expeditions are now afiort ; and in the course of three weeks it is said that 60,000 men will be landed at different points on the Southern Coast. The rebel Legislature of Maryland is dealt with in a Cromwellian style; in deed far worse than that, for such of the members as can be caught are sent to La Fayette, to study the subject of loyalty to the Union. The PRESIDENT seems not to care what liberties he takes with law except with the laws which establish and confirm negro slavery. We must think that if he mean to fight till he conquer, this is cruel policy. The war may last for years unless it become a war of emancipation. M. DE MONTALEMBERT has very recently pointed the dexter-finger at Poland. He has raised his eloquent and majestic voice again in her behalf. The Tribune being closed against him— he has addressed France, Europe, all Christendom, as a Political Pamphleteer. At Paris, it is the aga of pamphlets. Not of books or of newspapers —but of pamphlets. And it is there quite natu rally and, so to speak, perfectly en regle, that when a great orator or a great writer has anything particular to say, he immediately says it through the medium of the hot-pressed leaves of a tempt ing little brochure, stitched in a lilac or primrose covering of paper, and sold for a franc across the counters of the Palais Royale (ought it not rather to be the Palais Imperial) and of the book shops of the Boulevards. M. DE MONTALEMBERT, who is both—that is to say, both a Great Writer and a Great Orator—had a good deal to say just now ; and therefore, as a matter of course, he immediately said it, or rather wrote it, pen in hand, as a pamphleteer. Appearing first of all, bit by bit, as a sort of political feuilleton in the columns of a popular journal, it has since made its appearance in due form as a separate publication. It has been translated; in a fragmentary way, into most of the languages of Europe, and has gone the round of the newspapers north, south, east, and west. Everybody reading it—friend and foe, sympathiser and antagonist—with hushed attention, as any thing whatever proceeding from the same hand is certain to be read under any and every imaginable conjunction of circumstanees. No matter what the theme selected by M. DE MONTALEMBERT may be, his written or spoken observations upon it are secure at all times of the most respectful and rapt attention on the part of the great mass of the edu cated population of Europe. Protestant or Catholic, Legitimist or Republican, statesman or man-of letters, advocate, it matters little, whether of des potic, of democratic, or of constitutional Govern ment, each thinking man amongst the great Eu ropean Family turns eagerly to listen or to read whenever M. DE MONTALEMBERT raises his voice or takes pen in hand. It may be that he has undertaken to " startle the dull cold ear" of this present Age of Iron and Machinery by the dulcet and persuasive rhetoric of his life of the Hun garian Queen Elizabeth—what a critic in Black wood recently called " that exquisite monograph which must always hold a high place in Christian Poetry." The reviewer adding, " A picture more beautiful and touching was never given to the world." It may be that the author of that "sweet idyll of the woman-saint" has but essayed a vivid description of some recent debate in the British House of Commons. Or, again, it may be OW after some twenty years or so of profoundest study and premeditation he begins to recount the History of Monachism in the West. It is all one, to his hearers, to his readers—whatever the subject upon which he is discoursing, they hang upon his words and " listen delighted." It is a grand position for any man to have attained ; but nobly has it been \eon and loftily is it held by the Genius and the Virtue, the unsullied probity and the indomitable eiviem of the pure-minded and generous hearted Comte DE MONTALEMBERT. It is no wonder, then, that when M. DE MONTALEMBERT essays to address himself once more, after an interval of silence, to the consternation on one hand of the Wroligs, and on the other hand of the Rights of Poland, the import of his words should be carefully noted throughout all Christendom. Particularly is it comprehensible that it should be so, immediately after an interval in the history of the sufferings of Poland, marked by incidents so affecting, but at the same time we will say so encouraging also, as those henceforth memorable in connection with the an nals of the ancient capital of Warsaw. The summer of 1861 moreover has been passed by M. DE MON TALEMBERT in 'personally visiting the scene of these remarkable disturbances. He himself has thus watched (with what yearnings of his noble heart who shall say P) the bearin g of that long-oppressed but still-aspiring popula tion. He has witnessed himself their won derful patience under woes almost too profound for longer endurance. lie has listened to their chants and prayers for the resurrection of their buried but still liVing nationality. He has seen the whole people, young and old, rich and poor, men, women, ant little children dressed one and all of them (as they have been for many months past, as they still are at this moment) in Black, as a sign of national Mourning, as a solemn protest against their oppres• am, as an affecting expression of the universality of the grief of the whole race of Poles over the prolonged miseries of their native land. Now that he is, fresh from the influence of this extraordinary spectacle, M. DE MONTALEMBERT THE :SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1861. points back to those scenes from which he has just returned. He raises again his thrilling cry for Poland—a cry of lamentation, of supplication, of adjuration—pleading with Europe, with the Public Opinion of Europe, for interposition, at length, however tardily, in behalf of these unfortunate Poles. Often before though this Great Orator and Writer has pleaded in that same cause, he has never done so more opportunely than he does now! His argument is addressed to Christendom, recollect, upon the very morrow of those lamentable events at Warsaw—and after but a very brief interval since the grave closed over the remains of the venerable Patriot Chief of Poland, the aged Prince ADAM CZARTORYSKI. Besides, it should be remembered that the epoch in the midst of which this new u::.1 most impressive Plea for Poland is given to the world by CHARLES Comte DE MONTALEMBERT, is —the truth is undeniable, everyone beholds it— An _Epoch of National Expectancy ! Italy is now engaged in completing the last incidents of her poli tical emancipation. Germany yet awaits the op portunity to realise the day-dream she has so long cherished at heart. Hungary looks hopefully to such kindred champions of her Freedom as Kos- SUT a and GARIBALDI. And Poland, we may rest as sured, will before much longer, in GOD'S good time, reach the day upon which she may inscribe upon her escutcheon Resurrexi in lien of Resurgam ! TIIE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The general decrease on the quarter will be about £2,000,000. The principal explanations are : In the Excise there is a decrease of £860,000, caused by comparison with a quarter in which malt credit was an extra receipt ; in other respects the revenue from this source has increased. On Stamps a decrease of £40,000, which is con• sidered casual. On Taxes there is a slight variation. The Income-tax shows a decrease of £1,300,000, partly owing to the reduced rate, but still more to the tardy collection, owing to its being voted so late by the House of Commons. On the Customs there is an increase of about £lOO,OOO. - Post-office—lncrease, £70,000, from progressive improvement in this branch of revenue.'

Mr. Harris commenced his season on Saturday , with a comedy, by Mr. John Brougham, entitled " Playing with Fire," which met with immense success on its first production in America. The fol lowing is an outline cf the plot:—Mr. Herbert Waverley (Mr. G. Jordon), devoted to his wife, finding her continually giving way to fits of melan choly of which he cannot divine the. cause, consults his intimate friend Dr. Savage (Mr. Brougham) as to what is best to be done. The doctor advises the provocation of a little jealousy. Waverley should get some friend whom he can thoroughly trust to get up a little flirtation with his wife, and then he can watch the result. Waverley agrees, andsuggests that he Las no friend with whom he is so intimate as Savage. The doctor demurs, but is eventually over persuaded, and agrees to try the effect of his fascina tions on his friend's wife. Meanwhile Mrs. Waverley (Miss Rose Leclercq), has the same feeling about his melancholy state, and consults her friend Mrs. Savage (Miss C. Leclercq). This lady is unknow ingly, of one mind with her husband as to the plan to be pursued under such circumstances, and per suades Mrs. Waverly to avow a pretended passion for Dr. Savage, and to let her overhear their con versation, The Doctor arrives on his mission, and acting on the cue given her, Mrs. Waverley bestows on him snch languishing glances that the - Doctor is at first taken aback ; how ever, he determines to profit by the avowal for the furtherance of the plot arranged between him and his friend, and commencies a series of most unmistakeable gallantries, to the dismay of Mrs. Waverley, and to the disgust of his own wife, who is listening at the door. So irate is Mrs. Savage that she pursues matters with extraordinary vigour, and seeking Waverley informs him of her husband's passionate avowal to his wife. At this Waverley, recollecting the scheme, is only amused, but when his friend Dr. Savage declares that he has dis covered the secret of Mrs. Waverley's rage is thoroughly aroused ; he will not believe that such a flame could have been kindled without encou ragement on the Doctor's part, and determines to part from his wife and to send a challenge to his friend. Of course an explanation takes place, and the curtain falls upon the general reconciliation. Mr. Brougham's " Dr. Savage" was a truly ex cellent performaucerand Mr. George Jordan, who made his first appearance as Waverley, is, at all events, a very handsomi.man, if not a first-class actor. He seems to be thoroughly imbued with the Yankee style of acting, which is not looked upon with. much favour by metropolitans. If it be possible for Mr. Jordan to throw off his objection able mannerisms, he may, with such a capital ap pearance as he possesses, become a favourite. Ryder has an excellent part in the piece, and so has Mr. Widdicombe. The comedy was quite success ful, and will no doubt prove highly attractive. STRAND 71-LEATRE, Another burlesque extravaganza, from the un wearied pen of Mr. H. J. Byron, was produced on Saturday night at the Strand Theatre, where broad humour is the order of the night. The new bur lesque is entitled, " Esmeralda ; or the Sensation . Goat." It is founded, of course, on Victor Hugo's well-known story, the burden being the wonderful beauty of the dancing girl, the fidelity of the hunch back, the sagacity of the goat, and the infinite number and variety of Esmeralda's admirers. The dialogue of the piece is thickly interlarded with puns, parodies, and lingual distortions of all sorts arid descriptions. Indeed, so rapid do they fall, and so incessant is the fire, that the ear can scarcely follow them, or trace the sequence. In this parti " line" Mr, Byron has distanced all competitors. His venturesome, and daring muse stops at nothing that can be twisted into rhyme, although it must be admitted that he has drawn largely upon the im pure well of cockneyism. " One of the most amus ing scenes in the extravaganza is the representa tion, by the King of the King of the Beggars and Pierre Gringoire, of the performance of a party of street acrobats. The strong man of the corps carries on his back a huge block of granite, to which is added an iron Weight reinesenting 5001 b. A suggestion is then made that he should sustain the weight of the last Parliamentary " blue book ;" but the experiment proves too much for the being crushed who ro ll s over an d nar rowlyrushed to death by the re port of sc o g f tel a l s oa e Pf l e c t.s c h t eb e ilel ommittee ! The principal charac ters in the piece are well sustained by Miss Fanny Josephs Mr. J ames R ogers (Cl au d e iar r s . m j e . r a c l aa), e rk (Qaasimodo), Miss Bufto n ( ' Ph l 4 °)' bu s de Chateaupers), Miss Marie Wilton (Pierre Gringoire), and Miss Kate Karson (Fleur do Lys). L E T NEW S. TURIN, SEPT. 29. A pamphlet by Father Passaglia, condemnatory of the temporal power of the Papacy, has appeared at Florence, and produced an immense sensation. The journals rejoice at the support thus afforded to the Italian cause by this eminent Italian theologian. In the journey through the towns of the Cam pagna, the royal princes have been welcomed with great enthusiasm by the inhabitants. The Opinione of to-day says : " A telegram from Madrid announces that France has proposed that the archives of the Neapolitan consulate should be consigned to the French consu lar agents, who would afterwards transmit them to the Italian Government. It is believed that Spain accepts this proposition." The Movimento of to-day states that a protest against the occupation of Rome by the French troops has been signed in Venetia amid great enthusiasm. ROME, SEPT. 27. A Consistory has been held this morning, on which occasion the following prelates were elevated to the rank of cardinals :—The Archbishop of Chambery, Burgos, Compostella, the Bishop of Viterbo, the Papal Nuncio, Mgr. Sacconi, Father Panebianco, and Bishop Quaglia. The death of the Patriarch of Venice, who war also to have been appointed a cardinal, was an nounced in the Consistory. BOLOGNA, SEPT. 29. The dearness of provisions caused another riotous assemblage of the populace in the streets of this city yesterday. They were, however, immediately dispersed. Measures have been taken to prevent any manifestations being made to-morrow. The King will review the garrison and the National Guard on the Bth of October. VIENNA, SEPT. 30. Letters received here today from Ragusa state that symptoms of insubordination had appeared among the Turkish troops in the camp at Belicia, on account of the non-payment of the arrears due to them by the Government. Omar Pasha, it is added, thereupon sent up the arrears. PESTH, SEPT. 30. The building in which the sittings of the Assem bly of the Comitat of Pesth are held was occupied last night by the military, and the members were prevented from assembling by force. All the functionaries in the Comitat of Pesth have tendered their resignation. THE BRAZILS. LISBON, SEPT. 28. The Royal Mail Steampacket Company's ship Oneida, which arrived here yesterday from the Brazils, will leave for Southampton at 7 a.m. to-day, with 63 passengers, £120,141 sterling, and 3,000 bags of coffee. CHINA. The Pattie announces that the Chinese Govern ment having refused to allow a Prussian represen tative to reside in Pekin, the French Minister will be entrusted with the charge of Prussian interests in China. The Siamese Ambassadors will embark on board the Asmodee, at Marseilles, for Alexandria. EGYPT. By a letter from Alexandria of the 14th of Sep tember it appears that the rise of the Nile is much greater than. the average height at the samo season. In Upper Egypt the flood has broken through the dykes in many places, causing much damage. At Arman, an estate belonging to Mustapha Pasha, the inundation has destroyed a plantation of sugar cane. If the Nile continued to rise in the same degree, for eight or ten days, which was to be ex pected, the destruction of property on both banks would be very considerable. RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia left Livadia in the Crimea, on the 9th, on board the Tigre. He arrived at Theodosia on the morning of the 10th. Having heard mass in the Cathedral, his Majesty inspected the Military Hospital, the Museum, and the Arsenal, and left for Kertch, where he arrived the same evening, He inspected the Government establish ments there during the morning of the 11th, and re-embarked at noon for Taman, whence his Majesty will make a tour through part of the Caucasus. THE EDUCATION MINUTE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,,—ln your leader upon the New Edna ion Minute, you draw rather an exaggerated nfercnco from the Report of the Royal Com mission upon Education. You say that it ap pears from the above report that the children in the schools under Government inspection can neither " read or write with readiness and correct ness, nor p erform the first four rules of arithmetic, often not perform them at all." This statement, as it stands naked and unqualified, is very unfair to the teachers, and, indeed, to all connected with these schools. Is it net known that the Government in spectors visit annually every school, examine them in reading, writing, arithmetic, and other subjects, and it is entirely upon their report that the grants are made ? It is no new thing to make grants to depend upon work done. That has always been the principle upon which the Government has acted. Not a farthing reaches the school or the certificated masters unless " their lordships " are satisfied that there has been real work. What, then, have the inspectors been doing all these years, if the schools which they certify to be in a satis factory state do not teach the children to read, write, nor work the four simple rules of arith metic ? These subjects may not have received all the attention they deserve, but that is because the main exertions of the teachers have been turned chiefly in other directions by the Education Department itself, through its Inspectors. When the Govern ment took in hand the national schools, they found a low state of mental and intellectual life. There were certain dry and lifeless tasks ; but there was no mind, no thought. The great aim was to ani mate and infuse vitality. Hence arose "gallery lessons," "object lessons," which really composed the chief business of the school. General "intelli gence," " moral tone," &c., became the order of the day, and a reaction set in against all mechanical teaching. Reading, writing, and arithmetic, although not wholly neglected, thus became of second-rate importance. This state of things, what ever may be said of it, is clearly to be attributed to the action of the Government, and not to the perfunctiveuess of the certificated masters. There may be reasons for change, but none for taunting certificated masters with neglect of duty, as it is the fashion with reviewers and public writers , at the present time. Nor would those who arc really conversant with what the state of popular educa tion was in this country fifteen or sixteen years ago, and what it is at present, complain that there has been no progress, and that the public money has been wasted. A CERTIFICATED TEACHER. The murderous attack made on the members of the English Legation in Japan decided the commander of the French squadron in China to send the Duchayla steam corvette to Yeddo, to place herself at the disposal of M. Duchesne de Bellecour, the French Charge d'Affaires. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The royal mail steamship Arabia, Captain Stone, which left Boston on the 18th instant, and Halifax on the 20th, arrived here this morning, at 10.45. The New York Herald, of the 17th, gives the following summary of the state of affairs : " From Western Virginia the news is still en couraging. General Lee, with a very large force, attacked General Reynolds's troops at Cheat Moun tains, but, after a long engagement, was success fully repulsed, with heavy loss. The Unionists, fighting behind entrenchments, suffered but little; and when after the engagement the scouts were sent out, they found the rebels had retreated several miles. General Cox's body of Kanawha Valley Union troops had advanced some distance from Ganley Bridge towards Lewesburgh, and Generals Wise and Floyd were in full retreat eastward. General Roaencranz was at Camp Scott, directing the arrangements of the advancing forces. " The news from Baltimore is very important. A few more of the rebel members of the Maryland Legislature were arrested yesterday by the Balti more police, and every effort is being made to secure the whole of them. As it is, there can be no quorum of the legislative body. Therefore the State can not now be forced out of the Union against the will of the citizens, a majority of whom are still loyal. " The rebel army before Washington is still re ported quiet, with the exception of a few trifling shots exchanged between the pickets. The steamer Satellite arrived safely at the Washington Navy . yard, notwithstanding the assertion of the rebel newspapers that the banks of the river are com pletely lined with their batteries, so that they can close np the navigation of the same at any moment they please. " The reported proclamation of the Captain General of Cuba continues to occupy the attention of the State Department, notwithstanding the denial of official knowledge thereof having been made by the Spanish Minister. "_Potter's Investigating Committee is still prose cuting its inquiries relative to the loyalty of the Government employes. " The intelligence from General Banks's column is interesting. A smart engagement took place on Sunday afternoon, opposite Pritchard's mills, three miles above Darnstown, between the rebels, about 450 strong, and five companies of Union troops. The contest was very spirited and lasted two hours, re4ulting in the complete rout of the rebels, driving them out of every house and breastwork they had occupied, with a loss of ten killed and a number wounded. The Union loss was only one killed, arising, doubtless, from the superiority of range of their guns. From Fortress Monroe tidings have been received relative to the constant chango of the rebel forces at Sewall's Point, at last reports numbering only 500. A scarcity of provisions in the county is doubtless the cause. A number of United States vessels are reported off Old Point. " From Leavenworth, Kansas, intelligence has been received of an engagement between Colonel Montgomery, with 500 Kansas troops, and General Rains, with between 2,000 and 3,000. The latter, having several pieces of artillery and superior numbers, proi•ed too formidable for the former, who had but one howitzer. Notwithstanding these disadvantages, the Union men kept up a run ning fight whilst slowly retreating, causing serious loss to the rebels. Nightfall setting in, Colonel Montgomery made good his retreat towards Leaven worth. F " A vessel, said to have run the blockade at Galveston, reports a great amount of distress pre vailing throughout Texas. " A privateer, mounting four guns (6-pounders) was reported as having arrived at the port of Minititlan, Mexico, about the beginning of the pre sent month. The privateer Sumpter was reported at Surinam on the 21st ult. threatening. to fire the town unless she was supplied with coal. _and provi sions, of which she stood much in. need." The New York Times says :—" From Washington we have a confirmation of the rumour that has been prevalent for several days in a variety of phases, of a difficulty between the President and General Fremont, that seems likely to result in the removal of General Fremont from his command. Such a step, if the affair should have that result, will excite a very general feeling of regret." The Richmond Examiner of the 9th September says :—" Jefferson Davis had so far recovered from his severe illness as to be able to take an airing in • his carriage." The New York Evening Post states that it is rumoured at Washington that the offer of the Ame rican Government to accept the propositions of the Paris Conference, relative to privateering, has been rejected by the European Powers. The Maryland Legislature met on the 17th. Only eleven members answered the roll in the house, and not a single member answered in the Senate. All the banks of New Orleans suspended specie payment on the 16th September. The Secretary of War in the Confederate Cabinet has resigned, in consequence of bad health. A telegram, dated Jefferson City, Missouri, Sep tember 17th, says :—" A man who arrived hero to day states that on the 14th General Price, with 17,000 men, had surrounded Lexington, and had sent a summons to Colonel Mulligan to surrender. Colonel Mulligan refused, when Price is re ported to have sent back word that he would give him until Monday, at four o'clock, to surren der, and if he did not he would march on him with a black flag. It is confidently thought in military quarters here, that General Sturgis has by this time reached Lexington, from St. Joseph, and that General Price will be cut off or forced to retreat. Quite a panic prevailed at Georgetown on the re ceipt of the news from Lexington, and many fami lies fear an attack by the rebels. By telegraphic advice via Halifax, we learn that the above threatened attack was made, and resulted in the defeat of General Price, and a reported loss ort the Confederate side of 4,000 men. Tke Fede ral loss is said to have been 800. Governor Magoffin has issued the following pro clamation, in obedience to the subjoined resolutions, adopted by the General Assembly of the Common wealth of Kentucky :—" The Government of the Confederate States, the State of Tennessee, and all others concerned, are hereby informed that Ken tucky expects the Confederate or Tennessee troops to be withdrawn from her soil unconditionally." A telegram, dated Frankfort, Sept. 17, says In the House to-day a message was received from Governor Magoffin, communicating a tele. graphic despatch from Gen. Z)llicotfer, announc ing that the safety of Tennessee demanded the oc cupation of Cumberland, and three long mountains in Kentucky, and that he had done so, and should retain his position until the Federal forces were withdrawn and the Federal camp broken up ; also a message from Thomas C. Reynolds, lieute nant governor of Missouri, asking what course Kentucky intended to take in view of the occu pation of the Mississippi river, below the mouth d of the Ohio, by Federal forces, in violation of her nationality." The New cork Herald, in a leader, speaking of the secret naval expeditions now fitting out for the South, says :—" It has been rumoured for some time that there were other secret ex peditions in contemplation against the southern coast besides that which resulted so success fully at Hatteras Inlet, on the coast of North Carolina; and, within the last few days, mysterious notes of preparations were heard which went far to show that those rumours were not without foun dpion. But movements have now taken place which leave no doubt on the subject, even if we were not placed in possession of facts we are not now at liberty to mention, but which satisfy that there is something in the wind. It had been re cently stated that those monster steamships, the Atlantic, the Baltic, and the Vanderbilt, had been chartered by the Government for some secret naval service, at the same time other transports, previ ously engaged, had come to this city for the same purpose. The transports have suddenly disappeared, and with them, as suddenly, several regiments en camped on Long Island, at Scarsdale, Camp Winfield Scott, Hampstead, at Fort Hamilton, and other points. The New Hampshire Regiment, which was missed from its camp on Sunday, was seen to take the cars of the Long Island Railroad early in the morning, and it is ascertained that it proceeded to the terminus of the road at the other end of the island. Everybody who witnessed this movement felt astonished. What, it was asked, can troops be wanted for in that region? But the appearance of the Atlantic off Greenport soon solved the mystery. The troops were taken on board, and the ship steered in a southward direction. Of the pre cise destination of these troops, and of the other regiments—in all from 6,000 to 10,000 men—we cannot inform our readers. It is a Government secret. But we may state generally that it is un doubtedly the Southern coast. There are at least three naval expeditions afloat, and all the available troops on the Northern coast will be sent in one, or the other of them. General Butler went to Boston to send forward troops from that direction, and he is to command one of the expeditions himself. In the course of three weeks, perhaps, 60,000 men will have landed at different points on the Southern coast, where they will act in co-operation to the same end, and penetrate to the very heart of the cotton region." A Louisville telegram says :—" Serious fears are entertained for the crops of the South. The rains of August are reported the heaviest and most gene ral ever known, and were very disastrous. The Savannah Republican claims fair rice crops, but admits that continuous rains have damaged them somewhat. The Baton Rouge Advocate says that the cotton crops of that vicinity are literally covered with the army worm, and that the fate of the crop will be sealed in a few days, for the rains and heavy atmosphere are favourable to the workers." The weekly averages of the New York City Banks present the following changes from the pre vious exhibit :—Decrease in loans, 3,097,779 dols. ; decrease in specie, 4,357,818 dols. ; decrease in cir culation, 97,961 dols. ; decrease in undrawn depo sits, 7,330,185 dols. LETTER FROM PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO GENERAL FREMONT. The following letter from President Lincoln to Major-Gen. Fremont was transmitted to the latter on the 12th inst.:— WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11, 1861. Major -General John C. Fremont.—Sir,—Yours of the Bth, in answer to mine of the 2d inst., was just received. Assured that you, upon the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of August 30, I perceived no general objection to it. The particular clause, however, in relation to the confiscation of property and the liberation of slaves appeared to me to be objectionable, in its non-conformity to the act of Congress passed the 6th of last August, upon the same subjects; and hence I wrote you, express ing my wish that that clause should be modified accordingly. Your answer, just received, expresses the preference on your part that I should make an open order for the modification, which I very cheer fully do. It is, therefore, ordered that the said clause of said proclamation be so modified, held, and construed as to conform with, and not to trans cend, the provisions on the same subject contained in the act of Congress entitled "An act to confis cate property used for insurrectionary purposes," approved August 6, 1861 ; and that said act be published at length with this order.—Your obedient servant, A. LiNcousr. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX.) NEW YORK, SEPT. 19. A battle at Lexington, Missouri, has been fought. General Price was defeated by Colonel Mulligan, who was entrenched. The rebel loss is represented to be 4,000 men, and the Federal loss 800 men. A fight has taken place at Bonneville, the Federal loss being 650 men. An accident has occurred on the Ohio and Mis sissippi Railroad. A bridge broke, and large num bers of soldiers were killed and wounded. A battle on the Potomac is unlikely to be im mediate. The Maryland Secession Legislature has been suppressed by the government. Cotton easier, 21 c. Breadstuffs excited, and higher. Provisions dull. Pork advanced. Stocks active. Illinois, 60-1, ; Erie, 26k. THE STRENGTH OF THE SOUTH. The New York Herald has the following in reference to the strength of the Confederate forces : —" The number of troops which the rebel Con federacy has in the field, according to our idea, has been over-estimated from the starting of the first rumours of a contemplated attack on Washington. It is true that since the battle of Manassas large additions have been made to their respective forces, and it is also trze that many regiments have been withdrawn to strengthen the coast defence, and that some 10,060 or 12,000, are lying:in the hos pitals, prostrated by disease. We have prepared and given below a table of their estimated strength, which, we think, is calculated upon:a liberal basis. The estimate puts on the field one in every four of the men in eac h seceded State between the ages of 18 and 45, except the States of Georgia and North Carolina, fro m w hi ch we have official statements of their exact numbers, which show that those two States have less than one six of their respective male populations, between 18 and 45 years of age, at present in service:— Male population between 18_snd 45 Alabama Arkansas Florida 16,000 .. Georgia 119,000 Louisiana Mississippi North Carolina ....... ,000 .. Virginia .. 221,000 . Tennessee Texas South Cmuolina Troops. 24 1 .000 16,200 4,009 19,100 18,700 18,000 20,000 35,000 21,000 60,000 15,000 Total se , eded States ..1,116,000 .. 251,000 Amongst the passengers by the steamer Euxine, which brought home the Bombay mail on Saturday, were some Moorish acrobats who are going to exhibit in this country. One of them is a tight rope dancer, and will, it is said, be a formidable rival to Blondin. Several of the party had spDts painted , on theirforeheads to indicate the:castes to which they belong.
