It is rumoured that General Lee is mining Grant's works in front of Petersburg. Ou the night of the sth instant the Confederates attempted to surprise the pickets in front of the 151 h Corps, but were severely punished and driven off. Tile Trindietry firing was very severe and lasted about half an hour. The effAir was not of muzh iraportaece, and the details are uninteresting. There 14 nothing lac - ye of importcAnce to report from the Shenandoah val!ey. A reconnoissance develops no Confe2erate force north of 'Woodstock. Early is supposed to be still at Newmarket. Ps• serters say he purposes soon restr:ing ti c cffinEive. A portion of his cavalry is in the Luray valley near Front Royal. The news from Georgia and Tennessee is very meagre, especially so far as relates to the move ments of the main armies under Hood and Sher man. Sherman's forces are generally supposed to ba moving after Hated' -le although one report re. presents that only one corps is detailed for that purpose, while the main army returns to Atlanta to inaugurate an entirely new campaign. The greater probability is that most of Sherman's forces are operating directly against Hood, who appears to be massing his army on the north side of the Ten. nessee, not far from Florence. Some accounts how. ever represent Hood's army to be rapidly marching into Middle Tennessee. It has been rumoured that Hood was repulsed in an attempt to cross the river on the 3d inst. with considerable loss. Slocum 's Corps is said to be at Atlanta with at least forty days' rations.

As regards hereditary claims on the personal and real property of members of the Imperial House and of their descendants who may have died intestate, the regula tions contained in paragraph 29 of the family statute of the 31 of February, 1859, for those members of the Imperial House who enjoy sovereign rights are to remain in full force. But his Imperial Highness, for himself and his descendants, reserves the right to accept presents from his illustrious relatives, or to derive benefit from their testa mentary dispositions, or to inherit property from other per sons, in as long as the right of the Archducal House aro thereby iu no wey encroached on, In witness whereof the present compact was made in two copies, which were signed and scaled by his Imperial Royal Apo tolic Majesty on the one hand, and the Moat Illustri ous Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian on the other. Done in Chateau Miramar, on the 9th day of April, in the year 1864. FRANCIS JOSEPH (L. S.) MAXIMILIAN (L. S.) The persons who witnessed the foregoing im portant convention were :—The Archdukes Charles Louis and Louis Victor (brothers of the Emperor), the Archdukes Charles Salvator, William, Joseph, Leopold, and Reignier. Farther, the Lord Marshal Count Knefstein, Feldzeugmeister von Benedek, Lieutenant-General Crenneville, the Emperor's First Adjutant-General ; Count Francis Ziohy, who was Lord Chamberlain to the Archduke Ferdi nand Maximilian when Governor of the Lombardo- Venetian Kingdom ; Count Rechberg, M. von Schmerling, Count Maurice Esterhazy (who is a Minister without portfolio), M. von Karolyi, the Hungarian Vice-Chancellor ; Baron Geringer, the Transylvanian Chancellor; and M. von Mazaranic, the Chancellor for Croatia and Slavonia. On the 4th inst. the U.S. gunboats Key, West, and Elfin, were engaged by Forrest's battery of 24-pounder Parrott guns, near Johneouvitte; tho' Tennessee River. The gunboats were disabled, either blown up or surrendered. The accounts differ ns to their fate. It is also reported that the Federals have evacuated Johnsonville, which was occupied by Forrest, who captured a considerable quantity of stores and some artillery. Eight steamers loaded with Government stores are said to have been burned to prevent their capture by the Confederates. Forrest officially reports the cap ture of two gunboats and four transports. Confederate accounts continuo to represent Hood as being successful in his operations. They state that before crossing the Tennessee, his army was encamped several days at Jacksonville, and that during that time not one complaint was presented by the citizens against the troops, who were in fine condition and discipline. The _Richmond Whig of the 4th inst. states that the Federal cavalry under Kilpatrick on the 30th ult. attacked the Confede■ rate cavalry, under Wheeler, protecting Hood's rear, and that the Federals were repulsed with severe lots. AMERICA. [REUT ER'S TELEGRAMS.] LONDONDERRY, Nov. 21 (Night), The Montreal Ocean Company's steamship Hiber nian, from Quebec on the 12th inst., arrived here at twelve o'clock. (Via Greencastle.) NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (Evening). The report of Sherman's movement from Atlanta towards the Atlantic seaboard is reiterated. General Ewell has succeeded Early. It is stated he will assume the offensive. A bill has been introduced into the Confederate Congress enlisting all white men between 18 and 45, and revoking all exemptions. The gunboat Sassacue had chased the Tallahassee to Wilmington. When last seen the Tallahassee was inside the line of the blockaders off the North Carolina coast. Her capture was considered pro. bable. Missouri advices state that General Blunt had overtaken and rooted Price at Newtonia after a battle lasting three hours, the Confederate loss being about 200. Price is reported to be retreating towards Cassville Eursued by Federal cavalry. A plot is said to have been discovered to attack the force guarding Camp Douglass, where some ten thousand Confederate prisoners are held, near Chi cago. The prisoners were to be released and armed, and were to seize and destroy the city. Arms in tended for them have been found secreted in Chi. cago, and about 40 of the alleged conspirators arrested at the hotels in that city. It is believed that a great number of Confederates from Canada were in the vicinity prepared to participate in the affair: The city is now patrolled by a home guard, and no danger is apprehended. Rumours of other conspiracies are numerous. The Confederates are reported to have purchased the steamer Georgians at Toronto, and to be preparing to attack the United States steamer Michigan on Lake Erie with a view of destroying her, and liberating the Confederate prisoners at Johnson's Island. After which an attack upon Cleveland or Buffalo is on the conspi. rators' programme. The United States steamer Kearsage has arrived at Boston with the crew of the privateer Florida, which was captured in the Bay of San Salvador, Brazil, on the 7th of October by the steamer Was chusett. The liraehusea and Florida were to leave for St Thomas on the 2d inst. The Florida was taken by surprise, and when run into by the Wa• chusett surrendered at once. The action of the Brazilian authorities is not stated. The Democratic electors have withdrawn the M'Clellan electoral ticket in Tennessee, and have addressed to Mr Lincoln a reply to his letter, re fusing to interfere in their favour against Governor Johnson's action in relation to the election in that State. They charge the President with sanction. ing the unconstitutional assumption of Governor Johnson. Their letter states that a M'Clellan meeting at Nashville was broken up on the 21st of October by soldiers, who rushed into the hall with pistols, extinguished the lights and drove out those attending the meeting. The letter adds :—" R e will not advise our citizens to risk their lives in going through the farce you propose of holding:an election under the laws at one ballot-box, while Governor Johnson holds an election under his plan at another. Too many unoffending citizens have already been murdered in our streets by negro soldiers—too many reputable women have:been ins suited by them. We do not wish to provoke further outrage. There will be no election for President in Tennessee in 1864. You and Governor Johnson may " manage your side of it in your own way,' but it will be no election." The letter con cludes with a formal withdrawal of the 'Telenet' electoral ticket. The report of the Canadian steamer Georgina having been fitted out as a privateer is denied. The Confederate Congress has reassembled. The speech delivered by President Davis on the occasion was defiant in tone. He favourably reviews the military, financial, and material situation of the country. Foreign relations are unchanged. Presi. dent Davis considers the disregard of recognition by European nations as remarkable, since the French and English Governments had long since expressed their conviction that the United States were unable to conquer the Confederacy. Two years since the French Government announced to the London and St. Petersburg Cabinets its conclusion that the United States were unable to achieve a decisive military success, and the replies of England and Russia intimated no contrary opinion. Neutrals seek to palliate the wrong of non.recognition by professing to consider that recognition would be valueless without further intervention. The South disclaims any desire for intervention, and mistrusts its advantages. It seeks no favour, and wishes no intervention. It knows itself come petent to maintain its rights and independence. England in 1862 refused recognition on the ground that any action of the British Government would inflame the passions of the belligerents and prevent the return of peace. Experience (continues Presi dent Davis) shows this opinion to be erroneous, as the result is the reverse of what the British Minis try humanely desired. A contrary policy, just to the South, is still within the power of the British Government, and would produce consequences the opposite of those which have followed its course since the commencement of the war. Peace was impossible without independence, It was not to be expected that the North would anticipate the neu tral Powers in the recognition of the independence of the South. History would be unable for those reasons to absolve the European nations from a share in the moral responsibility for the unneces sary lives that had been sacrificed during the war. The Government adequately provides for a foreign loan if only rated 6d. in the pound. Presi ' dent Davis recommends the Government to pur. chase the slaves it employs, engaging to give them freedom at the termination of their service rather than impressment for a short period. He also suggests that the number of slaves employed by the Government be increased to 40,000, and em , ployed as engineers, labourers, and pioneers, This number by preparatory training will form a more valuable reserve in case of emergency than a larger number suddenly called from field labour. Beyond this limit and these employments it does not seem desirable to go, The President disapproves of a general levy and arming of the slaves ; but should the alternative be presented of subjugation, or the employment of slaves as soldiers, no doubt exists as to what would then be his decision. The South was willing to negotiate for a peaceful solution, but the Federal Government expressed its determination to make no peace except on terms of Southern sub• mission and degradation, leaving no hope of the cessation of hostilities until the Northern delusion of ability to conquer the South is dispelled. The New York World publishes long accounts of the alleged Repub'ican frauds in the recent State election in Indiana, and a Pittsburg correspondent of the same paper states that the workmen at the Alligham Foundry have been virtually notified that those voting against Lincoln will be dis charged. On the sth inst. General B. F. Butler assumed command of the Federal forces in the State of New York, by direction of the President and by assign• ment of General Dix, commanding the department of the East. It is supposed that B atler will not re• main long after the election is ever. He is re ported to have in the city from ten to twelve thousand troops. It is understood that the Government at Washington have received such unquestionable evi. dente of the existence of a plot to destroy the city, and of the presence of a large number of Confede. rates here for that purpose, that the presence of a large military force was deemed absolutely neoesi sary. On assuming command, General Butler issued an order declaring that his troops had been detailed for duty here in order to "protect the public and to prevent incursions into our borders," and to insure calm and qniet. The order further says . " The Commanding General has been pained to see publications by some not too well-informed per. sons that the presence of U. S, soldiers might by possibility have an effect upon the free exercise of the duty of voting at the ensuing election, Nothing could be farther from the truth. The soldiers of the United States are specially to see to it that there is no interference with the election, unless the civil authorities are overcome by bad men with force," NEW YORK, Nov, 12 (Morning). General 11I'Clellan has resigned his commission in the Federal army. Mr Fenten, has been elected Governor of New York. The Confedorates in the Shenandoah Valley have been reinforced,. and are attempting to flank Sheri. dan. They threaten Pennsylvania and Maryland. Another Confoderate force made three attacks upon Atlanta on 'Wednesday, approaching within 200 yards of the Federal works. They were re pulsed by the Fed eras. NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (Evening). No particulars ar.e yet known of Sheridan's moves manta, but they are - reported to be progressing favourably. The "burring of Atlanta has not yet been confirmed. It is reported that Butler has notified the mem bers of the Board of Gold Brokers, that they must not speculate in gold, to the detriment of the credit of the United States Government. ,Sheridan is near 'Winchester, and the Confedcs rates are at Newm arket receiving reinforcements.

During a heavy gale of wind yesterday from the W.N.lir (reports Capt H. P. Steele, R.N.), a vessel was observed with signals of distress flying off this place. The National Institution's lifeboat stationed here was soon launched, and proceeded through a very heavy sea to the rescue of the vessel's orew, On arriving alongside she proved to be the Active; of Carmarthen, from Swansea to that port, with a cargo of coals. Her crew of three men was soon got into the lifeboat, and afterwards safely brought on shore. The sloop afterwards parted from her anchor and drove up the bay. Subsequently the gale moderated, and the vessel was boarded by a fishing smack, and afterwards brought her safely into port. About the same time the lifeboat was en gaged in this service the fishing smack Braze rescued the crew of the brig Union, of Milford, which subsequently foundered ; and a dredge boat saved the crew from the schooner Sydney Trader, of Cork, which was in a dismasted state, BRAUNTON, NORTH DEVON, Nov. 19. Mr James Lampoon, the lighthouse keeper at Braunton, reports:—" The schooner Meridian, of Fowey, Cornwall, bound from Cardiff to Charleston, Fowey, with coals, struck off Braunton yesterday in a storm from the W.S.W. The Braunton lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched to the assistance of the crew, and after making the greatest exertion for half an hour, got within a short distance of the vessel, but the sandbank known as the Patch prevented their boarding, the boat striking heavily on the bank, and the lifeboat was therefore compelled to return. While proceeding to the wreck the heavy surf rolled into the boat about a dozen times, and the crew were nearly exhausted with wet and cold. For. tunately, however, the tide rapidly receded, and the life boat's crew afterwards assisted in getting the vessel's crew ashore. The captain was in a very exhausted state, and but for the active exertions of those present, in conformity with the society's instructions for the restoration of the apparently drowned, a lad, there is no doubt, would have died. Medical assistance was soon procured, and they are all in a fair way of recovery." The lifeboat was, as usual, manned by men from Appledore. LYTHAM, Lancashire, Nov. 14. At 4 o'clock yesterday aiternoon,just before dark (reports Mr J. Edmondson), a fishermen came to bring the intelli gence that he had a few minutes before seen a vessel which appeared to him to be on the Horse Bank. Several persons from different points of view had likewise seen her, but none could give such definite information that any conclusion could be formed as to the character of the vessel, or whether she was at the bank or riding at her anchors. A heavy gale from the north-west was blowing at the time, and the wea ther in that direction was very thick. It was, however, de termined to send out the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at once, in the presumed direction of the vessel. Unpromising as appearances were from the storm then rag ing, coupled with the darkness of the night, the lifeboat men without the least hesitation jumped into the boat and pulled with a will quickly away towards the west side of the Horse Bank, a distance of six or seven miles from Lytham. After remaining away four hours and a half during a fearful night the lifeboat returned, unable to discern anything of tha ill fated vessel; again at half-past 5 this morning the lifeboat men resumed the search, and discovered a wreck lying on the bank about two miles from Southport, which was found to be the Chimera, of Liverpool, a brig from Africa, with palm oil. The crew, with the exception of the captain end a coloured man, had taken refuge in the foretopmast, which unfortunately went by the board, and the poor fellows were immediately swallowed up by the raging sea; The survivor, who was taken off by the Lytham lifeboat, states that the captain died on the deck the same day, having been ill for some time previous. The institution has paid £l9 10a for these gallant exertions. SOUTHPORT, Nov. 19. Soon after four o'clock yesterday afternoon (reports Admiral Barton) a vessel was observed in distress about six or seven miles from this place. The lifeboat of the National Institution was launched as soon as possible, and proceeded to her assistance. It was blowing a hard gale from west ward with heavy squalls of rain, and the night hazy and dark. Four bluelights wore burnt by the lifeboat, but un happily no light could be seen in answer. After pulling about for several hours in a dark and tempestuous night without being able to discover the vessel, the lifeboat re turned. having been out about 6 hours. This morning (Saturday) about 7 o'clock the crew again assembled at the lifeboat house, and the wreck of the vessel she failed in finding last night being seen upon the Horse Bank, the boat was launched, and on reaching the vessel she was found a total wreck, with mainmast and foretopmast gone. On boarding the wreck one man only, a coloured man, was found alive under the topgallant forecastle, and he said the whole of the men, except the master and himself, had taken to the rigging when the vessel struck, and they had all gone overboard with the mast and were drowned. The survivor was taken off by the Lytham boat, also belonging to the National Institution, which had likewise gone off to the wreck. The Southport lifeboat brought on shore the dead bodies of the captain, found in the vessel's hold, and of one seaman, found on the bank, The vessel proved to be the brig Chimera, of Liverpool. The reports of these two services show the determined efforts that are made by our lifeboats to save life, During the fiercest storms these lifeboat men on the Lancashire coast never falter for a moment, but go out through the dark tempestuous night to endure fatigue, exposure, and risk of life with a readiness that excites the astonishment of the ordinary observer. DUNGINESS, Nov. 18. At about 6 p.m. yesterday (reports the coxswain of the Dungeness lifeboat, belonging to the National Institution) a message was received from the chief boatman in charge of No. 1 Battery Coastguard Station that a vessel was on shore at that station, and that the lifeboat was required, as there was too much sea at that time for any other boat to put off from the shore. Signals were immediately made for the crews of the adjoining stations, 27, Tona and Romney, which were very soon at this lifeboat station of the National Institution. In the meantime I had sent a man to Romney for four horses, the vessel being about six miles to wind ward of us. but the horses did not arrive before 8 p.m. We then started with the whole of the men, 25 in number, ;panning the hook ropes to assist the horses, as the sands were very soft from the constant pouring of rain and from the wind. We could not reach the spot until 9 30 p.m., when we were informed that six of the crew of the ill-fated vessel had been landed by the No. 1 Battery Coastguard boat, and that two of the crew were drowned whilst endeavouring to get into their own boat, which was capsized alongside the ship by a sea. At 11 p.m. we returned to the station with the lifeboat. The vessel was fount to be the brigantine Belinda, of Jer sey, bound from Guernsey to London with granite. PENARTII, near CARDIFF, Nov. 19. A messenger arrived here (writes Mr J. B. Bryan, chief officer of Coast guard) at 7 35 p.m. yesterday, during a heavy S.W. gale and hazy weather, requesting the assistance of the Penarth lifeboat a the National Institution to a ship stranded by stress of weather on the South-west Patch, a most dangerous place nine miles from hence at the mouth Newport River. The boat was promptly launched and pro ceeded to the spot, in tow of the steamtug pilot, sent for that purp3se by the owner. Tug and pilot boats from New port had previously attempted to get to her, but failed. The lifeboat arrived at the vessel at 8 55 p.m., and found tugs in attendance, She remained alongside, and at the request of the captain assisted in getting the vessel off at high water, when she proceeded in tow to Kingroad. The life boat was to int back in LOW by thy) outer, with his own and the master's thanks for so promptly coming and render ing assistance. The vessel proved to be the ship Far West, 659 tons, of Newport, Monmouthshire, bound from Callao, with guano, with a crew of 22 men on board. The Extraordinary Robbery at Windsor Castle, Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, Ellen West, a respec tably-dressed woman, about 35 years of age, late confiden tial maid to Lady Phipps, wife of Sir C. B. Phipps, Keeper of her Majesty's Privy Purse, was brought up for final exa mination before Captain Bulkeley and Mr E. B. Foster, the sitting county magistrates, at the Town-hall, Windsor, on the charge of obtaining goods from Messrs Bird and Allen, of High-street, indsor, and stealing various articles of wearing apparel, the property of Lady Phipps, of King Henry the Third's Tower, Windsor Castle. Since the apprehension of the prisoner nearly 200 letters have been found by Inspector Reece in her room at Lady Phipps', all of which relate to property made away with by West, the greater part of which, however, through the exer tions of the police, has been recovered. Sir C. B. Phipps, Lady Phipps, and Mr and Miss Phipps were present at the examination, and were accommodated with seats. Mr Phillips, of Windsor, appeared on the part of Messrs Bird and Allen; and Mr White, of London, for Sir C. B. Phipps. The prisoner, who was in a most abject state of depression, remained during the whole of her examination with her face buried in her hands, and was allowed a chair. The depositions previously taken having been read over to the prisoner, who was in the custody of Inspector Reece of the Berks constabulary, Lady Margaret Anna Phipps said she was the wifi of Charles Beaumont Phipps. Ellen West had been in her service nine or ten months. She did, not on the 7th Novem - ber tell the prisonerthatithe wished to have some silks for inspection from Messrs Bird and Allen's, as she wished to make a present to her daughter's nurse at Osborne. On the B[ll of November she did not make any selection or see the things. She did not on that day order a black silk shirt, and had not authorised the prisoner to obtain anything of the kind from Messrs Bird and Allen in her name. She sent an Indian shawl there to be cleaned. Prisoner, on being asked if she had any question to ask Lady Phipps, remarked that the witness had not sent her for the goods. The prisoner was then charged with stealing an Indian shawl, a black silk mantle, and other articles, which were produced in court, the Property of Lady Phipps. _ _ __ _ - - Lady Phipps was again examined, and said the Indian shawl and the black silk mantle were her property. She never gave any of the articles to the prisoner, or authorised her to pawn them. She had purchased them all of Messrs. Caley, Ellen West was in witness's service as lady's-maid. The things were in her custody. Prisoner had no question to ask Lady Phipp s . William Wildey, assistant to Mr Daniel Brown, pawn broker, of 14, Cranbourn-street, Leicester-square—Knew the articles produced—a shawl, black silk mantle, a length of blue gimp, and a length of silk braid; also, distinct from them, a black silk mantle and black and white plaid shawl. On the sth of November received them in pledge in the name of Ann Bevan. Witness produced the memorandum. Agreed to advance £l5 108 on the articles. Prisoner was the person who pawned them. Joseph Bowyer, assistant to Messrs. Coley Brothers, Windsor, recognised some of the articles produced, which were sold to Lady Phipps. lie could swear to the braid and gimp. Sergeant Noble, of the Windsor police, knew the letter produced, which he had seen the prisoner write on the 11th of this month. She was then in custody at Sir Charles Phipps's house. Prisoner, on being asked if she had anything to say to the charge, said she did not take the things with the inten tion of stealing them. It was Mr Denyer's proposal to take them up. He wished her to show them to Lady Phipps. She did not ask him. Oa the charge of stealing from Lady Phipps, prisoner remarked that she meant to get the things back, and did not intend to steal them. She was committed to take her trial at the next county sessions at Reading, Sir C. Phipps being bound over to answer for Lady Phipps's appearance to proceed with the charge against the prisoner. Lancashire Distress, CENTRAL RELIEF FUND. A meeting c f the Central Executive Committee was held yesterday in the Town-hall, Manchester, the High Sheriff (Sir T. Kay-Shuttleworth) in the chair.

Of these 8,838 a bl e b o di e d mon , 2 , 43 0 or 47 9 per cent, are report e d as capable of be i ng employed on public works, but who are not so employed at present." In reply to Lord Egerton, FARNALL stated that the g report : decrease of 332 ablebodied . men, relieved from the poor-rates was doubtless owing to the increased employment of such men on public works. E nd re G ad o t i h u e em fo e l n lo , following comparisonßa between the ordinary expenditure for poor in the . 28 unions of the cotton district, The accompanying tables and that of the years which have been affected by the cotton famine. The excess of expenditure over 1861 afford the l‘‘' I r Mr e relief l e (which may be taken as an average year) in indoor mainte nance and outdoor relief, including that of the local com mittees, in the year ended Lady Day, 1862 A f L ci co f r dv t e 1 862, was £40,221 — in 1863, £1,287,597 — in 1864, 919,554 ---and during the six months ended Michaelmas, 1861, over £3oo,ooo—being a total excess expenditure of 2,557,57 6. During the three years ended Lady Day, 1864, the guardians ex pended in the relief of the poor £1,937,9 28 and the local co mmittees £1,372,45 4 , making a total of £3,310,382, while in 1861 the guardians of the poor spent only £313,185. Of the amount received by t he committees, £289,938 was from local sources, but in addition to that am ount the Central C omm ittee received £276,453 in subscriptions f rom th e cotton districts, and it is estimated that n o l ess a sum than in £230,000 was locally distributed private charity, beyond the large amount voluntarily remitted by manufacturers and property owners f or cottage rents. For the inf orma ti on re ferring to the guardians' relief I am indebted to Mr Purdy, of the Poor Law Board." The committee thought it advisable again to announce publicly that at its meeting next Monday it would adjourn for three weeks. The Hon, Secretary laid on the table ret urns w hi c h h a d been obtame • d, pursua nt to a resolution of the C en t ra l Exe cutive Committee, of the balance of sub scr i p ti ons t o th e Central Relief Fund not remitted, but which were returned by the collecting commi t t ee s, all of them in places situated outside the cotton districts. • d on the question of the publication of A discussion ensue these returns. On the one band this publication was urged in justice to the commit tees who had faithfully remitted all the subscriptions confided to them for the relief of the dis tress in the cotton distri cts, and to the public, on whom fur ther claims had been recently advocated. On the other d that the motive for contribution to hand, it was suggested the Central Fund, whe ther from individuals or districts, ought to be .taneous, and to arise out of a conviction that the condition of the workmen in the cotton districts, and the tendency to the ex haustion of the resources avail able for their relief, constituted a legitimate claim on public s y m p a thy, A s , homer, the amount a tuo balauceo Riau mitred was reported to be upwards of £70,000, it was re solved that the following circular should be sent to each of the committees, and published with the proceedings of the day : " I am instructed by the Central Executive Committee to represent to you that it has before it a return, obtained by its honorary secretary, is which it appears that a balance of £ , subscribed towards the relief of distress in the cotton districts, has not been remitted for distribution. The Central Executive Committee desires to represent that it has administered the fund confided to it with vigilance and firmness, in order to insure as economical a distribution of relief as appeared to be consistent with the health cf . the population. It has still in hand a balance of £81,698. It has recently encountered new forms of disaster in trade, which had been long foreseen, and to meet which, there fore, it has husbanded with care the Central Fund. Being unable to determine how long the present want of employ ment will continue, and beir sure that similar crises will from time to time recur, the Central Committee feels it to be due to those committees which have sent to the Cen tral Fund the entire amount subscribed, and to the public on which the renewal of claims for assistance has already been advocated, to say that it trusts that the local com mittee of will regard the balances now in its hand as a fund on which the Central Executive Committee may depend for the relief of the indigence of the cotton districts." The Inundations in Spain. The following accounts are from the Spanish papers : VALENCIA, Nov. s.—ln consequence of the continued rains there are inundations along the whole coast. The accounts from Cataroja are extremely alarming. An expe rimental train had to return, and the conductor said that he heard many cries of distress from that town. The gover nor has left with an engineer and some of the Civil Guard, and the train conveys boats and ropes. Great disasters are feared in Alcira. The whole of the land along the coast presents the appearance of a sea. The railway from Valencia to Castellon is impassable, and the telegraph only working between Barcelona and Vinaroz. The post has not left to day, the roads being impassable. VALENCIA, Nov. governor of the province, with great difficulty and danger, succee'2ed in getting within four kilometres of Alcira and eight from Carcagente, and placed himself in connection with those towns, The destruction in both is immense. Bread asked for was sent them, and other food was being collected. The post from Barcelona, which ought to have arrived at 8 in the morning, had not arrived up to 8 at night. VALENCIA, Nov. 7. —By a miracle the governor reached Alcira. The town is a heap of ruins in a great lake, and words cannot describe the picture of desolation it presents. The people are escaping as they can, many of them half naked. The road between Alcira and Algernesi is cora■ pletely destroyed, and bands of old men, women, and chil dren, are seen on the rough broken ground fleeing from the catastrophe. The streets and squares are filled with dead houses and broken furniture—some bodies are also seen of persons who have been drowned, and many must be buried under the ruins. Two thousand loaves of bread have been distributor amongst the people. The governor remains there ordering every possible measure to alleviate suffering. To-morrow he goes to Carcagente. The governor returned to Alcira after having been in Car cagente. The deaths and accidents to persons are numerous. Up to 12 yesterday 21 bodies have been interred in a cern°_ try made for the occasion. The governor has expended all the relief fund, and a subscription has been opened. Ladies will beg for contributions at the churches. At Tavernes, Semat, and Gandia, many builders are employed in repair ing the damaged houses, and the inhabitants are busy at work. Algemesi yesterday went without bread to give it to Alcira ; 3,000 pounds have been sent to-day. The town of Tores has lost more than 100 houses, and the towns of the coast are said to have suffered equally, which is pro. bable from the quantity of furniture brought down the river, VALENCIA, Nov. 9.—The governor has returned to this city, and ordered the firemen of the Ayuntamionto to pro. coed to the towns inundated, since the labourers of those towns refuse to work. The accounts from the towns on the coast are very sad, many of which are only a heap of ruins. The firemen and artisans are rendering great ser vices in Alcira, clearing the streets and propping up houses. From the ruins of one of the latter nine dead bodies were taken out. The towns of Fortaleni, Polino, and Riola, which it was thought had entirely disappeare I, have suf fered much. In Guguera, Quesa, and Ana, the factories, which gave employment to many families, have been de stroyed. The subscription opened by the provincial depu tation affords very satisfactory results. Donations of bread and other food are unceasing. Tores has lost 108 houses out of 180, of which the town consisted. The overflowing of the Jucar has destroyed the conduit of tho principal work of irrigation, very little of the solid masonry being left. The renches in the great canal of Jucar are 18 in number. The walls are thrown down to the extent of from 20 to 500 yards. The repairs will require great outlay. Twsnty three towns engaged in the cultivation of rice, and having irrigated farms, are left without the means of irrigation. The Junta of government is occupied in investigating the extent of the damage, which is incalculable. The towns of Tores, Carcel, and Samacaroel have been inundated. The losses in the first have been the greatest. In the other the destruction is less. AUSTRIA AND MEXICO. VIENNA, Nov. 17. Subjoined is a translation of the official text of the often mentioned compact between the Emperor of Austria on the one hand, and his brother, the Archduke Maximilian—now Emperor of Mexico— on the other : The most illustrious Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian having communicated to his Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty his resolution to accept the proffered throne of Mexico, and there, by the help of God, to found an empire, his Majesty, in family council, did take into consideration the conditions under which he, as the head of the Arch. ducal House, could, in accordance with his sovereign du ties, give his consent to the proposed State. Act. As a consequence of the deliberations on the subject in question, his Majesty the Emperor, on the one hand, and the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian on the other, did agree to the following conditions : Art. I. His Imperial Highness the most illustrious Archduke Ferninand Maximilian does, for himself and his descendants, renounce all claim to the succession to the throne of the empire of Austria, and to ail the kingdoms and countries thereunto pertaining, in favour of the other male scions of the House of Austria and of their male de. scendants having rights of succession. And that in such a way that in as long as there shall—in accordance with the existing laws of the House of Austria, in respect to the order of succession, and more particularly of the family law which under the name of the pragmatic sanction was made on the 19th April, 1713, by the Emperor Charles VI., and of the family statute issued on the 3d Feb., 1839, by his Majesty the Emperor Ferdinand I.—be Archdukes having claims to the succession or descendants of the same in the most distant degree, neither his Im perial Highness nor his descendants, nor any one in their name, shall ever be able to make the least claim tc the said succession. Art. 11. This act of renunciation extends to all privileges connected with the right of succession, and, consequently, to the privilege given by the family statute to act, under certain conditions, as guardian to the heir presumptive to the throne, he being a minor. Art. 111, Should, however—which God forfond—all the other Archdukes and their male descendants die, his Im perial Highness reserves for himself and for his male de scendants—being the issue of lawful and equal marriages contracted in accordance with the statutes and customs of the Austrian Archducal House—all the rights of succes sion which appertain to him in virtue of the Austrian law of primogeniture and of the abovementioned family statute, as in such case the act of renunciation contained in Art, I. can be prejudicial neither to his Imperial Highness nor to his posterity. In respect to the rights of the female descendants, in default of heirs male, the regulations contained in the abovementioned documents concerning the rights of suc cession are to remain unchanged. But in no case can the illustrious descendants of his Imperial Highness hold the reins of government unless they are of the Roman Catholic faith. Art. IV. His Imperial Highness further declares for him self and his male and female descendants that ho, under the subjoined conditions, renounces all claim to the present and to the future personal or real property of the most illustri • ous Archducal House, whether such claim be based on the ties of blood, birth, or custom. a. Should extraordinary circumstances occur and load to an important change in the newly-established relations of his Imperial Highness, he and his descendants are entitled to claim a participation in tho revenue arising from the family maintenance fund in such manner as is provided for in regard to the Sovereign branches of the most illustrious Archducal House in paragraph 41 of the family statute of Feb. 3, 1839. L. Should it unfortunately so happen that all the other illustrious Archdukes and their male descendants die, and that the heirs male of his Imperial Highness come to the throne, or should it happen that the male line of the Aus trian House is totally extinct, and that their rights in virtue of the abovementionel regulations relative to the succession have devolved on the female descendants of his Imperial Highness, then and in such case all the claims of his Im puial Ilightten and his descendants on the family property NEW NOVEL BY MR.
