As this request is founded on a❑ absolute right, granted by a recent Act of Congress, I am entirely at liberty to say it is with regret that I withdraw myself in these momen • tous times from the orders of a President who has treated me with such distinguished kindness and courtesy ; whom I know, upon much personal inter course, to be patriotic, without sectional partialities or prejudices, to be highly conscientious in the per formance of every duty, and of unrivalled activity and perseverance. the first claimants—Chapman, Lyon, and Noyes— are to be first paid, or whether the goods wall be divided among the creditors pro rata, is yet to be decided. It is supposed that all the members of the Administration, with perhaps the .exception of the President and the Attorney-General, are in clined to sustain Judge Freese in his determination to sequestrate the property of the Confederates for the Northern creditors. The final verdict of the Cabinet on this most important question to our Northern merchants must be forthcoming within a few days, as the order of Judge Freese for the delivery of goods in the case of Wilmer and Co. will soon take effect." reduce their cultivation of the great staples, in order to devote their land and labour to raising provisions and supplies which they have hitherto purchased from other countries.' " To these words may be added the following from the New Orleans Crescent:—' As for the raising of the blockade with the expectation of a resumption of trade with Europe, it is an ignus fatuus for the present. The blockade will only be opened after severe fighting.' The Delta states that it is con templated to call a convention of cotton planters, at which a course of proceeding on this subject shall be decided on. It was observed on 'Change that if cotton planters proceed to grow cotton next year as they have done this they will again have it on their hands, and find it impossible t o t urn it i nto money. Moref than this, if we should h ave t wo or more crops of cotton on hand when the blockade is opened, the planters, reduced to extremity for want of money, must rush their cotton td market; the European markets would be 'glutted, the price would go down, a glut of manufactured goods would load the shelves of dealers on the succeeding season, and thus the price of cotton would suffer a depres sion it might take years to recover from. On the contrary, if provisions are raised our people will be fed, the schemes of the enemy will thus be baffled, and the price of cotton will be maintained in Euro pean markets. This is a subject planters should well consider. We can scarcely expect another year to be as favourable a season as we have had this, and the price of provisions be remunerative; everything will find a ready market for ready money, and the cause of . the South will receive a powerful support. We are in for a war of Linger or less duration. If tholloo4do oLoaritporte is not raised within three or four morals, cotton will be a drug. Prices of breadstaffs 'are Etaviikeing to most exorbitant prices." - • Advices from Havannal to' the 26th report the very polite reception, by the Spanish Captain- General, of the Southern Commissioners, Messrs.

General Dix has issued a notification respecting the forthcoming elections in Baltimore, to the effect that, it having been understood that persons foyl merly residing in the State,.h,ntwho had recently been bearing arms against the United: States' Go vernment, had returned with the intention of taking part in the election, with the purpose of carrying out treasonable designs, he ordered the United States' Marshal of Maryland and the Provost-Mar shal of Baltimore to arrest all such persons; and he had further directed the election judges through out the State to detain all such persons who might present themselves at the polls, until they could be taken into custody by the proper authorities. The report of Adjutant-General Thomas to the Secretary of War respecting his mission to General Fremont, in Missouri, had been published. It is a lengthy document, made up apparently of camp gossip hostile to the General. One of the !cost bitter complainants was General Hunter, Fremont's successor. In the latter portion of th© report, the state of feeling in Kentucky peeps out, as follows : Price 6d., or post free for 7 stamps, FT NSOUNDNESS OF INDIAN GUARAN 'T'EES, shown in a L'tter to MmiLL SLAUGIITER, Esq., Secretary of the Stock Exchange.

General M'Clelian was therefore, with the unanimous agreement of the Cabinet, notified that the command of the army would be devolved upon him. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Cabinet again waited upon the Presi dent, and attended him to the residence of General Scott. Being seated, the President read to the General the following orcrer:— " On the Ist day of 'November, 1861, upon his own application to the President of the United States, Brevet Lieutenant. General Winfield Scott is ordered to be placed, ancpereby is placed, upon the list of retired officers of: the army of the United States, without reductio)kin his current pay, t sub sistence, or allowances. " The American peo . will hear with sadness and deep emotion that ' oral Scott has withdrawn from the active control o the army, while the Pre sident and unanimous Olisbinet express their own and the nation's sympatfiy in his personal affliction, and their profound sense of the important public services rendered by hint „to his country d u rin g his long and brilliant caree among which will ever b e gratefully distinguished is faithful devotion to the Constitution, the Union, nd the flag, when assailed by parricidal rebellion.

The Inman _steamship City of Baltimore has ar rived with advices from New York to the 3d inst. In the telegraphic intelligence via Cape Race it is stated— " NEW YORK, Nov. s.—The Monticello had ar rived at Fort Monroe, and reports passing the naval expedition on the 2d inst., 3.) miles from Bull's Bay. It is rumoured that the expedition landed on the 3d at Bull's Bay, 25 miles from Charleston. Re ports have been received of the destruction of the fleet at Port Royal." Bull's Bay is, according to the American maps, about 30 or 40 miles north of Beaufort, South Carolina. Port Royal is at the entrance of Beaufort Harbour. That some disaster may have happened to the " Great Armada," as it is denomi nated by the New York press, is not improbable. Previously to its departure from Hampton Roads the expeditionary force suffered to some extent from a gale, which had not subsided when it left. The City of Baltimore, which should have left New York on the 2d for this port, was detained in con sequence of the boisterous weather until the fol lowing day. Throughout her passage she experi enced strong winds from N.E. by N., accompanied with thick weather. At this season gales from that quarter are frequently attended with snow or rain storms. It must be reeolicQta tuNo Emu heavily laden with guns and stores, besides being crowded with men and horses. It would appear from the following article, extracted from the New fork World of the 2d, that Port Royal was the des tination of the fleet : "As the fleet has now doubtless reached one of the points against which it intends to operate, there can be no harm in adding a few hints in addition to those furnished by the correspondent of the London Times, more than a month ago, whose letter we give this morning. "It is manifestly not the intention of Government to attempt the capture, as yet, of any of the large Southern seaports. New Orleans, Mobile, or Sa vannah could undoubtedly be taken without any great expenditure of blood, but the retention of those cities, or any one of them, would be a much more serious matter. The system of river and railroad communication, which has made them important commercial centres, could be used to concentrate vast armies against the attacking party, which, un less, in great force, would be speedily driven into the sea. A lodgment on an island or series of islands, that commands important harbours, with a view to operations, is manifestly the object of the expedi tion. We should not be surprised to hear, therefore, that Port Royal Harbour, on the South Carolina coast, should be one of the points which it is in con templation to take, provided it is found the ob stacles are not too formidable. A large discretion has evidently been given Capt. Dupont in this matter. The command of this fine harbour would give us access to the most thickly-settled slaveholding re gion of the South, and would be a standing me nace to both Savanna and Charleston. The place is admirably situated for a vast camp of instruc tion, like Fortress Monroe. Should it not be deemed advisable to take this point, Amelia Island and Fer nandina will undoubtedly be attacked with a view to obtaining possession of Brunswick Harbour, the finest on the South Atlantic coast. It is impossible for the rebels to concentrate a large army to defend this point, as inland navigation is so difficult. Its possession by our fleet would in effect be the sever , ing of Florida from the Confederate States, as we would command the St. John's river and the whole coast around to Pensacola, which of course we are soon to be in possession of. It is not at all probable that the Administration intend to march our troops inland for a couple of months yet. The troops sent ore, as a general thing, undisciplined and unfit for field operations, but by January they will no doubt be in condition, both as regards numbers and disci pline, to take either Charleston or Savannah, as may be deemed best. Hereafter the cotton States, that caused the war, will be forced to bear some of its burdens. It is not improbable that the stars and stripes are floating to-day in triumph over a portion of the sacred soil of South Carolina." A New York paper, alluding to the gale of the 3d, says:— " Some fears were entertained that the prevailing gale would seriously affect the progress of the great naval expedition, and this idea gained strength from the fact that the Roanoke, which has ust arrived s t a o t n F , o w r t h r i e c 8 : Mro co o m n pell very heavy weatherereports that she expe riencedheenr to he boats —formerly d keep e e way p o u f t r s o i d m e which has also reached FortressMonroe,ecnTheEt states nA s atltlhen, e t a o pe Hatteras, the two the New York and had Brooklynbeen separated ferries— t h f r e o E m a g thele and squadron. yes c terd But by the Commodore Per r y, time ee the Hatteras on w arrival n o ft that a v t e s t s h e e l at fleet Baltimore,wasoff ay afternoon, Wednesday evening, at which was remarkably fair, and the squadron was w m e o a v t movie along finely.' The captain of this vessel reportsgr that the gale commenced north of Cape Hatteras, and gives it as his opinion that the fleet did not encounter it at all, as the ships had passed south of that point before it commenced." General Scott had placed his resignation in the hands of the Government, accompanying it with the following letter: — "Headquarters of the Army, Washington, Oct. 31. " Sir, —For more than three years I have been unable, from a hurt, to mount a horse, or t o walk more than a few paces at a time, and that with much pain. Other and new infirmities—dropsy and vertigo—admonish me that the repose of mind and body, with the appliances of surgery and medicine, are necessary to add a little more to a life already protracted much beyond the usual span of man. It is under such circumstances, made doubly painful by the unnatural and unjust rebellion now raging in the Southern States of our so lately prosperous and happy Union that I am compelled to request that my name be placed on the list of army officers General Scott thereupl President and Cabinet, NI lows : ni rose and addressed the ho had also risen, as fol- " President, this honotverwhelms me. It over pays all services I have a empted to rend er t o my country. If I had any aims before, they are a ll obliterated by this expr ion of approv a l b y th e President, with the unantnious support of his Cabi net. I know the President and this Cabinet well. I know that the country has placed its interests in this trying crisis in safer keeping. Their counsels are wise, their labours are as untiring as they are loyal, and their course is the right one. " President, you must excuse me. lam unable to stand longer to give utterance to the feelings of gratitude which oppress me. In my retirement I shall offer up my prayers to God for this Adminis tration and for my country. I shall pray for it with confidence in its success over all enemies, and that speedily." The Presidert then took leave of General Scott, giving him his hand, and saying he hoped soon to write him a private letter, expressive of his gratitude and affection, The President added : "General, you will naturally feel solicitude about the gentlemen of your Staff, who have rendered you and their country such faithful service. I have taken that subje3t into consideration. I understand that they go with you to New York. I shall desire them at their earliest convenience after their return to make known their wishes to me. I desire you now, however, to be satisfied that, except the un avoidable privation of your counsel and society, which they have so long enjoyed, the provision which will be made for them will be such as to render their situation as agreeable hereafter as it has been heretofore." Each member of the Admiuistration then gave his hand to the veteran, and retired in profound silence. The following is the response of the Secretary of War to the letter of General Scott ; " War Department, Washington, Nov. 1, 1861. was My ant, a., 1, 41. President your letter of yesterday, asking to be relieved under the recent Act of Congress. In separating from you I cannot refrain from express ing my deep regret that your health, shattered by long service and repeated wounds received in your country's defence, should render it necessary for you to retire from your high position at this mo mentous period of our history. Although you are not to remain in active service, I yet hope that while I continue in charge of the department over which I now preside, I shall at times be permitted to avail myself of the benefits of your wise counsels and sage experience. It has been my good fortune to enjoy a personal acquaintance with you for over 30 years, and the pleasant relations of that long time have been greatly strengthened by your cordial and en tire co-operation in all the great questions which have occupied the department and convulsed the country for the last six months. In parting from. you I can only express a hope that a merciful Pro vidence that has protected you amid so many trials will improve your health, and continue your life long after the people of the country shall have been restored to their former happiness and prosperity.-- I am, General, very sincerely, your friend and ser vant, " SIMEON CAMERON, Secretary of War, "Lieut.-Gen. Winfield Scott, present." Major-General M'Clellan, on assuming the chief command, issued the following order : " Head-quarters of the Army, Washington, Nov. 1, 1861. " General Order No. 19.—1 n accordance with General Order No. 94 from the War Department, I hereby assume command of the armies of the United States. " In the midst of the difficulties which encompass and divide the nation, hesitation and self-distrust may well accompany the ,assumption of so vast a responsibility ; but, confiding as I do is the loyalty, discipline, and courage of qur troops, and believing, as I do, that Providence will favour ours as the just cause, I cannot doubt 'that success will crown our efforts and sacrifices. " The army will unite with me in the feeling of regret that the weight of many years, and the effect of increasing infirmities, contracted and intensified in bis country's service, should just now remove from our head the great soldier of our nation, the hero who, in his youth, raised high the reputation of his country in the fields of Canada, which he sanctified with his blood, who in more . mature years proved to the world that American skill and valour could repeat, if not eclipse, the exploits of Cortez in the land of the Montezumas, whose whole life has been devoted to the service of his country, whose efforts have been directed to uphold our honour at the smallest sacrifice of life, a warrior who scorned the selfish glories of the battle field when his great qualities as a statesman could be employed more pro fitably for his country, a citizen who in his declining years has given to the world the most shining in stance of loyalty in disregarding all ties 'of birth, and clinging still to the cause of truth and honour. Such have been the career and character of Winfield Scott, whom it has long been the delight of the nation to honour, both as a man and a so ldi er . While we regret his loss,' there is one thing we cannot regret—the bright example he has left I for our emulation. Let us hope and pray that his declining years may be passed in peace and hap ' piness, and that they may be cheered by the success of the country and the cause he has fought for and loved so well. Beyond all, that, let us do nothing that can cause him to blust for us ; let no defeat of the army he has so long commanded embitter his last years, but let our victories illuminate the close of a life so grand. GEOR6E B. M'CLELLAN, Major• General Commanding U.S.A. An important cause had come before the Court at Alexandria, Virginia, of which the New York Commercial List gives the following synopsis : " In the case of the claims of Chapman, Lyon, and Noyes, W. H. Lee and Co., and Burnham, Plumb, and Co., merchants, against Barley, Trip let, and Co., of Alexandria, Judge Freese ordered a commission to appraise all goods or property of any kind, left by Barley, Triplet, and Co. A paper was presented to the Court by Mr. Green, of Alex andria, claiming the sum of 1,200 dols. for rent, and setting forth that steps had been taken to collect the same in the courts of Alexandria. Judge Freese informed the applicant that if he chose to declare himself a loyal citizen, and claim the pro tection of the Provost Court, he would receive the same consideration as any other creditor. This Mr. Green refused to do. There appeared to be no doubt that the Court will decide that the pro perty of Barley, Triplet, and Co. must be appro priated to the payment of such debts to loyal citi zens as shall be proven before the Court. Whether "At Louisville General Sherman gave a gloomy picture of affairs in Kentucky, stating that the young men were generally Secessionists, and had joined the Confederates ; the aged and Conserva tives would not enrol themselves to engage in con flict with their relations on the other side." Our miscellaneous accounts state that the demand for Southern passports was ekceodingly great. Be tween the Volunteers and the officers otthe regular army ther; "was an.entire absence of good feeling, the former charging the latter'with tYranny,inso lence, and neglect. The prisoners confined in Fort Lafayette and other places had been transferred to Fort Warren, near Boston. Mrs. Steele and Mr. W. G. Woolfe had been arrested at Louisville, en route for the •South. Mr. Woolfe had, in a belt around his body, about 500 dole. worth of needles, and in the quilted shirt of the lady were found several cards of military buttons and 40 letters ad dressed to parties in various cities of the South. The gale of the 2d and 3d caused the tide to rise beyond its height, and flood some portions of New York. The schooner Ariel from Liverpool, captured off Charleston, had arrived at Philadelphia in charge of a prize crew. The body of Segismund Feliner, a wealthy Jew of Mainz, in Germany, is reported to [have been dis covered floating on the water at Middletown, New Jersey. On his person were found 110 dole in gold ; but letters from Germany inquiring after him' stated that when he left for America he had 50,000 dole. in diamonds and cash. He is supposed to have been murdered. Two women, Albertina Flaum and Mrs. Marks, have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the murder, but the former managed to commit suicide in the station. Another Confederate battery had been unmasked on the Potomac, near Evansport. The Federal steamer Powhattan had, however, managed to run up the Potomac to Washington during the darkness. Four stoops had done the same, notwithstanding a heavy fire. The Con federates arc reported to have their pickets on Harrison's Island. Part of their forces rested in Goose Creek, seven miles south of Leew burg. TL. Itviaphis ...ippetie of the 26th ult. contains the following useful information respecting the knitting of hose for the Confederate soldiers : " Get largo needles and a coarse yarn ; cast on 78 stitches and knit the leg 10 inches before setting the heel. The heel should be 3 inches long and knit of double yarn, one fine and one coarse for extra length. The foot should be 11 or 12 inches long." The same journal earnestly appeals to the planters to raise grain instead of cotton, as follows : " Ev(ry ear of wheat, every blade of grass, every stalk of corn, every potato, and every bean which can be grown will be required to meet the in creased demand at home and support the gallant army now imperilling their lives on the field in defence of our liberties, our homes, and our firesides. The necessities of the public defence, the voice of patriotism, and the general interests of our section demand that we put forth all our resources to meet the emergency. To the planters of the Southern States the demand for increased army supplies ap peals with peculiar force. In such of the border States as are not already the theatre of hostilities, but a small additional breadth of land remains to be dedicated to the production of cereals. In the others the presence of the invaders will seriously interfere with the cultivation of the soil, so that the cotton and sugar States will be relied upon to supply this deficiency also. By them alone can the demand be met. The country looks to them for relief. The appeal will not be in vain. The cheer ful alacrity with which every fresh demand upon them has been met during the progress of the pre sent revolution is ample guaranty of a ready re sponse to any call whieh patriotism may make upou them. There are other considerations, which, apart from the public necessities, :obviously point to the policy of diminishing the production of cotton and sugar, and devoting the lands thus left idle to the cultivation of small crops, to which we design to advert briefly in another article, and by which we propose to show that such a course will redound to the present, prospective, and permanent advantage of the planter, as well as the advantage of the pub lic interests." The planters appeared to be dissatisfied with this treatment. The Appeal says : " The Columbus embargo on grain and produce still continues to be a fruitful subject of remark. Planters on 'Change, from within the limits of pro hibition, complain of the position in which they are placed by the embargo. They say they have cheerfully contributed to the comfort of the army, and are ready to do as much as any in behalf of the Southern cause, but they do not like being denied the liberty of going to market—they do not like produce spoiling cn their hands, from the proceeds of which they should pay their taxes and lay in their supplies—and they do not like the idea of being compelled to accept of one price for their pro duce, while their neighbours beyond the boundaries get another and higher price. There is a growing disposition to appeal to Richmond. " Sales of wheat were made at 1 dol. 50c. ; 1 dol. 60c. was generally asked: Flour was firm at 9 dole. to 10 doll., according to quality. The .Richmond - Whig of Monday quoted corn scarce and in demand at 80c. ; oats, 50c. ; wheat at 90c. to 96c. for red, and 1 del. to 1 dol. sc. for white. " The opinion is very generally expressed that patriotic duty, 'wise policy, and benevolent feeling all require the planter for the coming year to aban don tie planting of cotton for that of corn, wheat, potatoes, and other necessaries of life. Speakers expressed their desire that the planters generally should know that the war is not to be the short effort of a few months that was anticipated ; that in this war the enemy's policy is to treat the South rather as a besieged garrison than as a force in the field. In the words of the New Orleans Delta, The policy of the enemy evidently is to starve us out, to substi tute for a trial of arms a trial of resources, of en durance, and non-intercourse. This change in their strategy has been prompted by the idea that the South is not self-sustaining ; that it has heretofore depended upon other countries for many of the ne cessaries of life, and that as long as it purs ues i ts o l d policy it will be driven to the hardest straits to save e its people from extreme suffering. Ther e is much exaggeration, of course, in thi s assumpt ion of our amount adversaries, but there i s thi s of truth in it, to wit—that if the S ou th should during the present war and blockade confirme in its old course of de voting its land, labour, a nd capital to a production which it cannotmake available for the support of its people ;if it • continues to raise cotton and tobac co, which it cannot convert into money with which to purchase the necessaries of life, and is further prevented from such purchases by the blockade, there must be no little suffering and hardship among our people, and to thwart the new policy and strategy of the enemy it will be the obvious duty and policy of our planters to abandon altogether or greatly THE NAVY. Her Majesty's steam vessel Rifleman, recently commissioned by Master-Commander J. W. Reed, went down to Woolwich on Saturday from Dept ford, after thorough repair, She is ordered to be completed with the utmost despatch, and is intended for survey in the China Sea, to replace the four-gun brig Saracen, Master-Com. W. Stanton. The steam storeship Supply, Master-Commander Ballisten, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday with her cargo of ancient marbles from Cyrene. The iron screw frigate Resistance, 22, sister fri gate to the Defence, 22, fitting at Chatham, is or dered to be removed from the Victoria Docks to Chatham, at which port she is to be completed and fitted for sea with all possible despatch. The Resis tance will mount an armament of 12 68-pounders, each of 95 cwt., and two 100-pounder Armstrong guns on the main deck ; and two 100-pounder Arm strong pivot guns on theupper deck. The same armement will also be supplied to the Defence. The iron plated frigate Royal Oak, 51, 800-horse power, under construction at Chatham, is ordered to be fitted with tube scuttles on her lower deck to afford air and light to the officers' cabins. In carry ing out this improvement arrangements are to be made to enable the holes through the armour plates to bs plugged or otherwise secured when required. A further supply of the massive iron armour plates, without either tongues or grooves, were received at the dockyard on Saturday from the Parkgate Iron Works, Yorkshire, the company having entered into an arrangement with the Admiralty to furnish ail the armour plates required for the Royal Oak, the whole of which supply will be of rolled iron. ltv direction of the Admiralty the exterior armour plates et the Royal Oak are not to be tongued at the edges, and the plates so constructed which have hitherto been supplied at the dockyard will, it is understood, be used in the interior of the Achilles, 50, in the formation of the bulkhead compartments of that frigate. Under the new regulations recently issued by the Admiralty for the apprentices in the royal dock yards to serve the last two years of their appren ticeship on board her Majesty's seagoing ships in commission, a certain number of apprentices at Chatham dockyard, consisting of shipwrights, caulkers, and sailmakers, who have entered the fifth year of their service, have been selected to embark in the Firebrand, 6, paddlewheel steam sloop, 410-horse power, Commander J. W. Bruce, which is under orders to sail from Plymouth on Thursday next. Each of the apprentices will re ceive a free railway pass from Chatham to Ply mouth, and during the time they are serving afloat will, in addition to their dockyard pay, receive dne day's pay per week for Sundays, besides being victualled on board. They will also be paid tool money. On the expiration of their period of ser vice they will receive a certificate of their charac ter and conduct, the progress they have made in their trades, and in the knowledge of the subjects prescribed for dockyard apprentices. The steamer has been thoroughly cleansed and fumigated in order to eradicate every trace of the yellow fever, which made such havoc among her crew when in the West Indies. According to present arrange ments the Firebrand proceeds to the Mediterranean. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham, directing the screw steamer Swallow, 9, which is now in dock at Sheerness undergoing a thorough repair, to be prepared for immediate commission for surveying purposes on the coast of Japan. She is to have a crew of 90 men, including marines. The Swallow has had a commodious office erected on her quarterdeck for the accommodation of the officers employed in the surveying operations. The line-of-battle screw steamer Collingwood, Si, 400-horse power, which has been converted from a sailing ship to a screw steamer, is ordered to pro ceed on a trial trip on Dec. 3 for the purpose of testing her engines and machinery, after which she will join the steam reserve at Chatham. The screw gunboat Lively, 2, 60-horse power, having completed her repairs, was taken out of the great basin at Sheerness on Saturday, and placed under the crane in the north camber to ship her new boilers, the engines having been converted from high pressure to condensing. When completed she will resume her duties as tender to the Cumber land, 70, guardship of the Chatham steam reserve, Capt. C. F. Schomberg. The Wellesley, 74, completed shipping her new masts under the floating shears, on Saturday, and this morning will be towed up to her former moor ings at the head of Chatham h a rbour, where she will complete fitting for a receiving and training ship for boys and lads entering the Royal navy. The Julia, 2, 60 horse power, attached to the first class steam reserve at Chatham, completed the alterations in her Kingston valves on Saturday, and was removed from the basin to the harbour. The 51-gun screw frigate Leander, recently con verted from a sailing ship to a screw frigate, and lengthened amidships 30 feet, was talzcu out of Sheerness harbour r,n Saturday, for the purpose of making her trial trip at the Maplin Sands, the weather on the previous day having prevented the trial taking place. The result of the trial was con sidered very satisfactory, the engines working smoothly, and with 51 revolutions of the screw per minute she made 10 knots per hour. The trii 1 trip was under the direction of the officials belong ing to the dockyard.

The court of inquiry composed of general and other officers, who have devoted the past 20 days to a close investigation of the circumstrlnces attending the late insurrection at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, terminated their proceedings on Fri day last. On the following morning, Col. Wilford, the Governor, announced the fact to the assembled body of cadets, drawn up on parade for that pur pose ; and intimated that the results of the inquiry would be immediately laid before his Royal High ness, the GeneralCommanding-in-Chief, and would be promulgated in a very few days. On Tuesday last half-a-dozen of the cadets who were detected in a breach of the regulations, viz., playing cards and smoking, were summarily dealt with by being "rusticated." This punishment entails the loss of six months' study, and the advantages of the Christ mas examination. They will be readmitted in Feb ruary next. The Rotunda at Woolwich, appropriated for the preservation and display of models and ancient artillery trophies, &c., has been ordered to be closed to the inspection of the public until after Christ mas, in order to carry out some necessary repairs and make a considerable addition to its present contents. The boisterous and stormy weather of the past week has partially suspended the works connected with the drainage of the new camp at Colchester, which have hitherto been successfully carried on. They will, however, it is fully expected, be com pleted at the close of the year. The strength of the 9th and 10th battalions stationed in Colchester Camp is now about 1,600 non-commissioned officers and men, with upwards of 400 women and children. The number of inva lids is unusually small, scarcely exceeding 100, in consequence of recent draughts of invalids to the depot at Chatham. This being the customary sea son for granting furloughs, nearly 100 officers and soldiers are absent on leave. The Royal Artillery depot at Warley Barracks, under command of Colonel Radcliffe, is now orga. nised, and the brigade nearly 800 in strength, has commenced periodical marches into the country. The strent , tll nc'thr , st.ltinn will c.l,nrtlybe mereaseti by the addition of 200 men. Major-Gcn. Blomfield, Inspector of Artillery, has visited the depot, and reported favourably of its condition. A detachment of the 70th Regiment, consisting of 20 non-commissioned officers and men, under the command of Lieut. T. 'l'. Hodges, arrived at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, from Glasgow, at a late hour on Friday night, and after medical inspection 10 were admitted into hospital for treatment, and the remainder sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's Barracks. FRENCH FINANCE. It appears that the rise in French Rentes on Fri day, from which there has since been a partial reac tion, was mainly caused by a report that the amount to be raised by loan in cash will not exceed between £12,000,000 and £16,000,000. It is gene rally supposed that the Obligations de l'Etat at 30 years' date, issued this year, vill be converted into Rentes. They were created in opposition to the advice of M. Fould, and have been heavy and un popular. There is again less pressure in the dis count market, and first-rate paper can now be ne gotiated at 41 per cent., or 11- per cent. below the rate of the Bank of France. The stock of bullion in the Bank has not experienced any further alte ration. A great impression has been produced in all quarters by the letter of M. Fould, and the in ference of every one seems to be that the Emperor must have been seriously alarmed at his straitened circumstances to consent to receive such a lesson. Persons conversant with the actual state of the Treasury had for a long time been aware that the crash must come. The available balance was nearly drained, and the payment of debts of all kinds was being postponed on any pretext that could be de vised. Whether the financial sanctity suddenly adopted at the crisis of the Treasury sickness will be maintained when the fit is over, and a new loan shall have been secured, is now the question. Simi lar resolutions have been made on former occa sions, but capitalists and traders are always ready to be flattered, and, in the face of experience, there are a large number at this moment inclined to trust again. The argument is that M. Fould would certainly resign the moment any impediment might be offered to his programme, and that the Emperor would not dare to encounter the hopless confusion that would inevitably result. Accordingly there is a disposition to assume that not only are the C 4 edit 3 Suppknzentaires to ba abolished, but that the public works in Paris and the railway undertakings in the country will be greatly diminished, and that the artificial prices of labour and bread must also disap pear. Before such a process , however, can inspire confidence the consideration of its consequences must be carried a little further. Is it certain that the army and navy are prepared to submit to a system of economy, and to confine their future views to those pacific aspirations which M. Fould promises as an inducement to neighbouring Powers to suspend their defensive preparations ? Are the politicans who are too strong for M. Fould as long as there was any money in hand certain not to seek a resumption of office as soon as the State coffers shall have been refilled; and will the masses of the people, accustnmcd to the enhancement of wages from a profuse Government outlay, be prepared to acquiesce cheerfully during the winter, and when they are chafed by the interruption of the American trade, in the self-denial which will be necessitated by a return to sound principles ? " Public opinion," it is asserted, "is that whether he will or not the Emperor must carry out Fould's programme." Would it not be more correct to say that every ono is prepared to accept the self-delusion that such is to be the case, and that army and navy, .operatives, contractors, and speculators will quietly rely that by the spring, when the difficulty shall have been on it e ur will find sufficient rea sons,fully ignottnoevchanged circumstances of Europe, or the necess ity of r ectifyin gsomething that somewhere threatens French honour, the Catholic faith, or the c i v ilisation and liberty of the human race, for e recurre nce to that course of expenditure which can never be permanently abandoned in a country under military influence, and unposses se of consti tutional rights that are universal • and inviolable ? —.Times City Article.
