NAPOLEON has been magnanimous in words — that is, by volunteering this proposition of a pacific Congress. Will he—now that his proposition has been declined by the English Government—will he, spontaneously, go one step further, by proving h. iniself to be magnanimous not in wor d s on ly, but 1: acts also : that is, to put it qu it e plainly, _y taking the initiative in the diminution of the COStlyis and exaggerated armament s a ll u d e d to in h s peech to the Legislature upon the inau guration last month of the new session of the French aaanabe afford to do this—if he wills t D do :L s.a The disbandment can u sbandment of his magnificent army, the breeei na , up of his formidable fleet of icon-clad ship s op war, are proceedings in the pro posed direction not . u an instant dreamt of even is the wildest imaginings l of the most Utopian Peace-at-any-Pric e d ay dreamer. There is not a man, we take it, out or ted, tn or out of the Asylum for Idiots, who would seriouslys propound a n y suc h insane proposition as that. It only a variable pro portion of the swords that these Arcadian philan thropists of the Peace-at-anyap riee party would babble now about beating into plough shares. It is a of the spearh eads rip per-centage merely there were any nowadays, in any branch of the milit ary 8 r vice), that these Utopian p olitician s could urge thee powers that be, to have turned into reapi ng hooks. A total disarmament is no more mused over b y any class of men still retaining their senses, as an ar rangement, through any conceivable means practicable, than i s th e opening 111) of seriou s at tempts to organise a millennium. It is simply the extravagant armaments, what Mr. DISRAELI hap pity dubbed, a session or two back, the bloated armaments of the last few years, that it is proposed should be reduced in magnitude, in costliness, in i ncreasing and still increasing elaboration. It •aeauld be the noblest, the most stately, haughty, i roperial reply that the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. could now give to the rival Government which has just declined to take part in his scheme of a great European Congress—leis demonstrating thus itf,the sight of the whole world the perfect sincerity ef his pacific intentions by doing what, we repeat It, he can so well afford to do, namely, himself set tit" -C thU example to all Europe by diminishing the nagnlt ude and moderating the costliness of his enperia armaments by sea and land. I a his so doing tt ere wo uld be nothing whatever of th e Q u i x oti c . Jie is at th e h ead of the greatest military p ower in the whole World He is at its head---60 far ai any mere earthly Power can b He is, there, at th e loftie s t be--supremely. a s an absolute monarell,Aeration—namely, nd one whose exalted post is upon the broadest foundations— namely, as the result of the eh nl ee, thrice pro flounced, of the whole French. democracy. Ile is there, in fact, as an imperial democrat, as a demo cratic Emperor—it treaters little h ow you express it—as a ruler having despotic power in his hands, while his feet are planted upon democratic institu tions. If the reigning Emperor of the FEENCII is to this day uncrowned and unanointed, being in 1 this, unlike the rest of the SaVereigns of Europe, and especially unlike the Founder 1 of his Dynasty, " lui qui nn ;Pape a couronnee," NAPOLEON 111. has at any rate ascrinded step by step to the eminence cf his sovereignty r.pon the basis of a popular election thrice pronoutaced, in numbers that no other ruler has had even once enrolled in his favour. First of all, w ,- .(en his own powers were not in the least, or but eery dimly indeed, re cognised—first of all for the. yaks of his great name, in memory of his immortal uncle, when the ballot boxes were in the safe, keeping of the Republ ic, nay, of his chief rival. as a (3endidate for the Pre sidency, General CANAIGNAC—then, even then, to begin with, Prii.ice LOMB NAPOLEON was elected by very nearly 6,000,000 Frenchmen. After. Afterwards, for lif a, by nearly 7,000,000 . After wards, as EmrEr.on,, by nearlyBb,oyoOth,oeoo He inaugurated his reign as EMP ER OR declara tion that the revived Empire signified peace. T o this very hour he has remained faithful uninter -1 ruptedly in a pacific alliance with the great neigh bouring Power with which the deadliest warlike rivalry had, on the contrary, been maintained dur ing the grand contest between All Europe and France under NAPOLEON the GREAT. If the pre sent Emperor of the FRENCH has entered into other wars, he has in every instance, save one only, entered i n to them in concert with England. The one war w hi c h was the exception to this rule being that war in Italy, with the results of which England, of all the countries of Christendom, the moat heartily sym cpeadtheisteod.the En g l and E3pßEno L: s aving just declined to ac proposition of a peaceful Congress, the EMPEROR now, if he should so please, could put the sincerity of our own country, or rather, we will say by preference, of our own Government, to the test, by doing what he is strong enough to do with perfect impunity—namely, setting the example to England, to all Europe, of diminishing the enormous warlike armaments under the stress of which the chief among the great Powers of Europe have so long been groaning. The Emperor of the FRENCH supposing he were to act thus, would in no way whatever be acting rashly, either in his own dynastic interests, or in the far grander and more momentous interests of which the NAPO. LEONS are the Heroic Vindicators and the Im perial Representatives—the sacred interests of France. For afterwards, at any moment, under any conceivable juncture, in the sudden presence of any untoward emergency, the ruler who had acted thus, thus magnanimously, dauntlessly, chivalrously in the name of France, and in the inte rests of the Human Race, would have but to raise his hand in signal, to have his whole people in arms under his banner, ready to vindicate, to the life or to the death, the honour of the Crown with which their own honour would be recognized as identified. Lord PALMERSTON is always happy in his speeches at public entertainments. He has some thing genial and gracious to say about everyone and everything, and thus he affords general satis faction, and the entertainment passes off pleasantly to everyone. Of late the Premier appears to have taken up with Scotland, and on several oc casions has he been discoursing in that country. It was therefore very appropriate that he should preside at the anniversary of the Scottish Hospital. This institution celebrated its one hundredth and ninety-ninth anniversary on St. Andrew's Day. In the speech proposing the army, navy, and volunteers, Lo►d PALMERSTON made some suitable remarks. He said that a state of defence was the best security for a nation, and that the country ought to be able to adopt the motto of the society, Nemo me impune lacessit. The volunteers, of course, came i❑ for that share of honourable notica which on these occasions is never withheld. Scot land has had her full share of honoured names, and her soldier sons, who have crowned gallant lives with glorious deaths, have been a goodly array. Of those lately departed from among us Lord PALMERSTON cited a few of the most promi nent—Lord CLYDE, DUNDONALD, and CHARLEY NAPIER. The noble chairman introduced a striking anecdote of a Highland sentry standing with his heels resting on the brink of an abrupt precipice, with the motto underneath, "Fear nothing for him, he never goes back." In speaking of the institution in whose honour they were assembled, Lord PAL MERSTON remarked on its truly national character. Its chief merits consist in the discretion of its dona- tions, not seeking to bestow a largess upon those who should support themselves, but striving to find the sick, the suffering, or the sfflicted. Certainly a charity of this sort is highly desirable, and it is almost impossible to overrate the incalculable benefits that must accrue from such an institution. Some. times a very small comparative assistance is worth thousands to a man, and if in the hour of need a friend comes forward at the right juncture ruin may be averted and serious suffering saved. Another advantage that is afforded by this charity is the opportunity it gives to some wanderers on the road of life to return to their native land. It is a strong feeling with many men to desire to die at home, but with the Scotch this sentiment is peculiarly paramount. It is satisfactory to notice that the subscriptions of the evening were nearly £l,BOO, and doubtless the presence of the Premier coutri buted greatly to the success of the entertainment. There is something very interesting in the notion that those who aro ttrangers in a foreign land should meet together and endeavour to assist each other as far as possible, and the wealthy in this world's goods lay by something in store against the evil day that may shortly come for their poorer brethren. There was great truth in the saying of the Duke of ARGYLL, that the Prime Minister's idea of holiday was iu working hard, for he seems ever at hand for meeting, festival, or Cabinet councils—all seem alike to him, he is semper paratus. In returning thanks for his health being proposed, Lord PAL XERSTON attested to the advantages he had derived i n Youth from being at a Scottish Academy. He the re associated with PLATFAIR, GREGORY, and DUG ALD resting and STEWART. There is something very inte impressive in a veteran s t a t esman re calling the scenes of early life, and looking back to the days of , t a n id lan g syne." Lord PALMER STON also made some humorous allusions to the pecu liarities of the "Land of brow n heath and shaggy wood, Land of the ruonntaia and the flood." They w ho were gratifi e d during forgotten rin g h is gratifi e d by the presence of the Premier in Scotland year, will be glad to find that he has his old f r i en d s am id the toils of a Ministe rial career and the tu rmo il o f London life, hut can not i turn aside, o n an occasion like the present, to iund the support o f his presence to a Society that is intimately associated with the genius of the country it represents, and a fitting rep reBenta. tine of the spirit of the old adage, " Highlanders, shoulder to shoulder." Speeches of one sort and another are now the order of the day, and hon. members seem to vie with each other as to who shall make the longest, the most striking, or the most, animated oration. Mr. SOUTHERN ESTCOURT con trived to introduce a novelty into his address last week at Chippenham by excluding foreign politics. This must have been an agreeable change to his hearers, and very likely they were well pleased to be spared the tedious task that all audiences, great and small, have now to endure. In stead of reaching the end of the journey with the desirable reflection that everything 1 8 b E e s t s w e e x e w n e t re he e c kl u t l 'e t r iv t4 a i t n io e n d wrong, the aviculturairstissoonf by an ingenious comp of land in England and Italy and France. This is a new noticn at a meeting of this kind, and the con sideration of the subject must have afforded instruc tion and entertainment to his hearers. In the first place, it appears that abroad there is hardly such a thing to be found as a tenant-farmer. In some cases the owner and the cultivator of the land share ea penses and profit, and, as may be su p pose d, t h e re sult is most unsatisfactory. Even where this custom is adopted, it is acknowledged to be a very bad one ; bat s e t, v tbh e e n e pn e c r u e the glaring l arl y manife s t . e r There rors was a s som e a plan wjs in pointing out to those connected with agricultural pursuits that, many and great as were their grievances in their own minds, and really un satisfactory as their positions might be in the opinion of others, there were many worse than their own, and men toiling and struggling in their voca tion, who by no possibility could gain their success or amass their profits. As for " fixity of tenure" Mr. SOUTHERN ESTCOURT pronounced against it, and with some show of reason in his statements. He had studied the subject attentively abroad, and seen great industry and bad success ; men either could not, or would not, invest sufficient money in their land. It is often proved , indeed, in many pl aces th a t w h ere people have the entire and exclusive control of their own affairs, and the undisputed possession of the regulation of their property, they do not attain the same satisfactory result as if they were under the guidance of those of more experience. The very restrictions that fetter the free course of action may be in some cases salutary checks. Also, on the other hand, individual ideas may sometimes be too narrow, and at times of uncertainty and periods of depression may draw back too much, and fear to incur necessary expenses at those critical junctures when to hesitate is to be lost. All things taken into account, then, there seems some foundation for the opinion expressed by Mr. ESTCOURT that the mode from time immemo rial adopted in this =Wry of cultivating the land is the best, and the most satisfactory in the long run. At the end of his speech the right hon. mem ber alluded to those striking points in which the English character differed from that of other nations. One of these is a very noticeable one, and doubtless a most influential agency in effecting the good feeling that exists among the several classes of the community —namely, the habit that prevails of a general unanimity when once a disputed ques tion has been put to the vote and settled defini tively in some form. This is peculiar to this country, and, doubtless, constitutes th© seeming anomaly which perplexes foreigners, of constant discussion and yet general harmony. Unless neople can agree to differ there will be constant bickerings among the most enlightened, and they are the best patriots and wisest citizens who respect the opinions of others, while they steadfastly act up to their own convictions. Without being so dashing in style or so brilliant in subject as the orations of some of his contemporaries, Mr. SOTHERON EST COURT'S speech is distinguished for solid sense; and the appositeness of his illustrations and the sober advice of his remarks may do more practical good to the class to which they verb addressed than the arguments and more specious themes, and the vehement declaimers against some real or imaginary evil that exists. The aspect of affairs between Denmark and*Ger many is happily becoming less threatening. So long as the matter was left to the unreasonable ex citement of the German people and the aggressive presumption of their rulers, with nothing to oppose them but the resolute attitude of the little Northern kingdom, there appeared but a doubtful prospect of a pacific settlement. It was known that the Viso great German Powers entertained decidedly hostile sentiments towards Denmark, notwithstanding their treaty obligations of 1852, and rumour went so far as to conjecture that a convenient pretext would be found for getting rid of those encumbrances, and openly espousing the cause of the Prince of AUGUSTENEURG. So rash and reckless a course, one, too, which would have been a direct affront to the Cabinet of London, where the treaty was signed, would, however, have been contrary to the usages of modern diplomacy, which usually endeavours to have, at least, a fair and plausible pretext for its warlike " ideas." Till very recently the Great Powers had made no sign, and the excitement spreading through Germany, gave some grounds for fearing that the certainty of popular support might induce Governments of doubtful stability to win favour by following a line of action that might prove dangerous to the peace of Europe. Of all the tangled questions that are just now engaging the attention of statesmen and politicians, of all the clouds that hang threateningly over the political horizon, none has lately given grounds for more uneasiness than the relations of Denmark and Ger many. It was impossible to measure the preten • sions of the one or the defiance of the other, and it was not improbable that the mai ambition of Ger many to become a naval Power might end in light ing up a war which should gradually involve the greater part of Europe. Fortunately, however, matters have changed considerably for the better. The Great Powers have awakened to a sense of their obligations and the serious results likely to follow any recognition of claims directly opposed to the faith of tre a ti es . A ustr i a an d P russ i a, on Saturday the 28th, informed the Federal Diet that they will abide by the Treaty of 1852, provided that Denmark fulfi:s the conditions which were accepted by King FREDERICK VII, it is not surprising, although it is undoubtedly a matter of satisfaction, that the German Governments should have taken this step. To have done otherwise would have been a flagrant trespass on the laws which regulate the conduct of nations, and they must have felt that it would be a slight which the most supine English Ministry could scarcely tolerate. It is very certain that the Eng lish people at all events would not have submitted tamely to the affront or to the injury inflicted on an ally in whose fortunes thay have always taken deep interest. The action of the English Cabinet leaves no room for misapprehension on the part of the German Courts. Oa the 27th of November our Minister at Frankfort received a despatch from Earl RUSSELL which distinctly states the course which Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet intended to take with regard to the Danish succession. The despatch stated that the attention of the English Government bed been attracted by the support given to the pretensions of the Prince of AUGUSTEN BURG by several of the German States, and that Eatl RUSSELL consequently thought it desirable at once to intimate to fair ALEXANDER MALLET the views which her Britannic MAJESTY bad formed on the subject. Her MAJESTY would faithfully observe the forma of that treaty by which King CHRISTIAN IX: Was heir to all the territories at that time united under the Danish Crown. The English Government also expected, as it undoubtedly had a right their e t d o h e e x e o e n e t, tothtahtl those at al treat P y wo o u w ld er e s e w e h ett o ha ri d n given e sentiments. This despatch having been immediately communicated to the Austrian, Prussian, and doubt produced Bavarian Plenipotentiaries, no its effect, and it is only to be regretted that a fuller and clearer declaration of the intention of England to support her old ally did not earlier arrest the mischief. On Saturday the great German Powers communicated to the Diet their intention of abiding by their engagements, and reminded the members that the Duchy of Lauenbarg belonged indisput ably to King CHRISTIAN, independently of the Treaty of London, so that the admission of a Danish representative for that Duchy could not legally be contested. On that very day, at the same sitting of the Diet, the President proposed that the creden tials of the Danish representative should be referred to a committee, and a resolution was actually passed excluding Barer' DIRKNICK from the Assembly. Such sticklers about points of national law should at least be careful that they do not overstep the limits of strict legality, and this act, in the face of the remonstrance of Austria and Prussia on behalf of Lauenburg,is decidedly opposed to cons itutional law. The question of Federal execution is not, however, disposed of, though the matter of the succession may be arranged. In the debate on the question of the Duchies, which came on yesterday in the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, Herr Von BISMARK stated the proposed Federal werecarrying still valid, and that execution that t h the reasons into t o operation for Austria and Prussia have proposed to the Diet that the measure should be forthwith carried out. Some passages in the Prussian Minister's declaration seem to indicate a desire to get rid of the Treaty of Lon don at the first convenient opportunity; but he admits that, "for the present," the action of Prussia will be identical with that of Austria. We may therefore hope that the moderate counsels of the latter Power, who is scarcely desirous of embroiling herself with this country, may serve to keep a little in check the restless ambition of the usually stolid Prussian. It is almost amusing to hear Prussians holding forth on the civic wrongs of the Holsteiners, while they are themselves enduring such notorious misgovernment, and are suffering from an absolute defiance of constitutional law. We cannot hope for a speedy solution of this troublesome vestion ; but we must look to a firm and yet conciliatory policy on the part of the Danes, and a resolute and straight forward observance of old engagements on the part of England for its eventual settlement. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) A M.E RICA. (Per the Bohemia.) NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (Morning). Private despatches from Gen. Burnside at Knox ville to the 19th, represent his position as secure, but state that communication with Cumberland Gap is interrupted. De3patches from Parson Brownlow to the 19th state that there is fighting all around Knoxville. It is expected that Generals Meade and Grant will immediately assume the offensive. Advices from Charleston to the 17th state that four monitors have passed up the Channel, appa rently to ascertain the depth of water. 25 shots were fired into the city, doing no damage. General Banks has occupied Brazos Island and Bienville Point, Isabelle, 2,000,000 dollars in gold have been shipped from here to Mexico on French Government account. The United States marshal has seized all the cotton in New Orleans. The Persia and Tentonia have arrived out. NEW YORK, Nov. (20 Evening). General Longstreet'a army crossed the Tennessee River on the 14th. General Burnside fell back before him, his rear guard skirmishing. Upon the 16th General Burnside formed a line of battle at Campbell's station. Here a fight ensued, lasting from noon till dark, when Burnside checked the Confederate advance and fell back during the night, reaching Knoxville upon the morning of the 17th instant. Upon the 19th, General Longstreet opened fire on a fortification in front of the city. The Federals abandoned this position, falling back to stronger defences. General Longstreet has completely invested the city. Burnside's loss is estimated at 450, that of the Confederates is much larger. The report of General Forster superseding Burn side is doubted. It is officially reported there are no more Confede rates in Western Virginia. Sharp skirmishing has taken place upon the Rapidan, in which the Federals were driven back. Federal loss in the late attack upon Franklin's forces near Opelousas was 670 men. One regiment was captured entire. Franklin's troops will proceed by way of the Gulf. Federal General Macneil has issued an order, stating that each time the telegraph is cat between St. Louis and Fort Smith, he will hang a guerilla. Since General Butler's arrival at Norfolk, a merchant has been condemned to six months' hard labour for smuggling whiskey. iThe Confederates have refused permission to the Federal Government to send stores for the Federal prisoners in Richmond. President Davie has officially acquitted Bishop Polk of mismanagement at the battle of Chicka mauga. The Trzbune denies that Mr. Lincoln declared the emancipation proclamation to be the greatest folly of his life, but the Herald asserts that Mr. Lincoln has on many occasions expressed this opinion. Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Seward, and the corps diplo rnatique were present at the dedication of the Get tysburg cemetery. Elward Everett made an ora tion. The Rev. H. W. Beecher has received a welcome at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He declared that the great intelligent minds and labouring classes in England favoured the North; all others wished well to the South. He recommended America to observe a friendly policy towards Eng land. He mentioned the Duke of Argyll, Earl Granville, Lord Carlisle, and Messrs Bright and Cobden an influential friends of the North. The negroes in New Orleans have petitioned to be allowed to vote. The _Richmond Enquirer urges a forced loan as a remedy fur the inflation of the currency. NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (Evening), (By Telegraph to Father Point.) The Evening Post publishes the following from New Orleans : "General Banks has occupied Brownsville upon the 6th without any opposition. " After Banks's arrival the Mexican General Cubors crossed from Brownsville to Matamoras and endeavoured to raise a revolution in favour of the French, but was dsfeated by General Cortians, who now occupies Matamoros with Juarez's troops. " Cortians has placed four steamers at the dis posal of Banks. " A revolution in favour of the French was feared at Matamoros, and as the American Consul was fearing personal violence, a portion of Banks's troops were in readiness to go to his protection if necessary," Delarue's Diaries and Pocket-Books, The eminent House of the Delarues is again in the field betimes (in the very beginning of Decem ber) with thei r won d er f u l variety of Di ar i es , Calen dars, and Pock e t B oo k s f or the approachi ng twelve month.

In Frederick William's dining-room, close to the conqueror's bedchamber, there stood a large musical clock, which" admirably imitated a band of trumpets. At midnight the row began, trumpets echoed through the palace, the servants, the adjutants, Napoleon himself leaped out of bed, and everyone believed in a surprise. But every thing was quiet again, and no one could make out where all the trumpeters were. Sentries were posted, a part of the adjutants and servants remained up, and at one o'clock there was the same row again, this time in one of the rooms. They rushed in, and the innocent clock was detected before the tone was ended. Napoleon the Great, the ecraseur of the Prussian monarchy, steering in the Palace of the Queen of Prussia, and frightened by a musical clock—in truth, du sublime au ridicule it n'y a qteun pas.—Bentlty s Miscel lany for December. LIFEBOAT SERVICES.--FILEY, NEAR YORK, Tuasday Night. —The new lifeboat which the National Lifeb oa t I ns tit u ti on s ent here a week ago, and which was publi c ly l aunc h e d on Thursday last in the pre sence of her b enevo l en t d cnors , the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of York, did s o m e noble service this morning in rescuing some poor fishermen from an inevitable death. At daylight fi s hi ng co bl es b elong i ng t o thi s coas t were ca u g ht in a strong gale from S.S.E., and a rough sea. One coble was upset while coming in, but as it was near the beach, the men were fortunately enabled to get ashore. Seeing the dangerous position of the fishing boats, the lifeboat was at once launched and put off to render assistance, and was instrumental in saving the men belonging to another coble which had also unfortunately upset. In the absence of the lifeboat they must have perished. The lifeboat behaved admirably on the occasion, and the fishermen at the con tiguous lifeboat station, Bridlington, are very anxious to have a boat like her, their present lifeboat being nearly fifty years old.

A LITTLE COLOUR IN THE STREETS !—Every ' body who has been in that dingiest of cities hnpws that the students at the University of Glasgow ; small as their influence is otherwise upon the character uf the town, are bound to do it one superficial service at least. Custom has ordained that they should woo. red gowns; and the fatigued traveller, weary of the universal leaden grey, can alone appreciate fully the sense of gratitude and relief occa sioned by the sudden gleam of scarlet fluttering up the long unlovely street on a November day. But that artistic sense which penetrates but slowly into barbarous regions has cer• tainly not yet reached the students of Glasgow. So far from considering themselves public benefactors through the medium of their red gowns, there is no expedient of boyish ingenuity to which the ignorant youths will not resort to quench the splendid tint, and reduce its glory as nearly as possible to the sombre hue of everything around.- 7 From "A Son of the 0Yoll," so .111(ronyan's Naga. - ;ine for .December, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Gen. Longstreet advanced across the Tennessee, at Lon don, on Saturday last, and moved towards Lender, 'but' was driven back to within one mile 'of the river.. During the night General Longstreet crossed the remainder of his troops, and on Sunday advanced in force upon the Federals, who fell back, skirmishing, to Lender. Several unsuccessful attacks upon the Federals were made on Sunday night. Oa Monday morning the Federals, finding it im possible to hold their position, retreated to Camp bell's Station or Concord, the Confederates closely pursuing them. Desperate fighting ensued, lasting throughout the day, the Federals being driven from point to point. Under cover of the night the Federals continued their retreat, and on Tuesday reached their inner line of defences at Knoxville. On Wednesday morning the Federal outposts on the Kingstown and Dutton and Clinton roads were also attacked, and heavy skirmishing continued until nigh►fall. Yesterday the attack was renewed, and after a severe cannonading the Confederates desperately charged the Federate, and drove them from their positions towards Knoxville, capturing a portion of the chief fortifications only half a mile from the town. By the latest account the Confe derates had completely invested the town. _ The Federal loss on Monday and Thursday was 'f 500; that of the Confederates on the same days estimated at 1,400. The Federal General Landers was severely wounded. General Shackleford had a sharp encounter with the Confederates on the east side of the Holsten River, three miles from Knoxville, on Sunday, and succeeded in checking their advance from that direc tion. Washington despatches of to•day state, that advice& from General Burnside were received by the War Department this morning, to the effect that his position was impregnable. It is believed that a great battle is being fought to-day, Despatches from the head-quarters of the Army of the Potomac of yesterday announce that no further advance had been made by General Meade. A skirmish between Confederate and Federal cavalry occurred at Germania Ford on Wednesday. The Confederates crossed the river, and, after a short fight, drove the Federals back upon their infantry supports. The loss in killed and wounded was small upon either side, but a number of Federals were captured. Chattanooga, telegrams of the 19th report all quiet. POLAND. BRESLAU, DEC. 2.

Subjoined is the answer which the King of Sweden and Norway sent to the Emperor Napoleon in reply to the invitation to take part in the Con gress at Paris. The reply was forwarded on the day following the receipt of the invitation : " My Brother and Friend—The letter which your Impe rial Majesty was pleased to write to me 'on the 4th inst. has been delivered •by your Minister. I feel that I must without delay reply to your proposition to take part in a Congress, which your Majesty proposes should meet in Paris, and the object of which is to secure the base for the maintenance of gi•neral peace in Europe. All which can contribute to an object so much to be desired can but meet with my approval, and I therefore immediately inform your Majesty that I accept your invitation, and that I certainly shall not fail to come if the co• operation of the other European Powers can be obtained. I can the less delay to comply with the magnanimous views of your Majesty as the United Kingdom, which cherishes no ambitious views, nor has anything to fear, would not be actuated at such a Con gress by particular interests, and could therefore devote itself with complete impartiality to the consideration of the most secure means of promoting the general welfare of the peoples. These are calculated to smooth away grievances without injuring justly founded interests. Should the ob ject which your Majesty has proposed be attained, you will have gained imper,shable honour by taking the initiative in a work calculated to promote the welfare of ruler and people. I should esteem myself fortunate should circum stances allow me to unite my exertions with those of the other Sovereigns of Europa in promoting so useful an un dertaking, particularly as I shall thereby find an opportu nity to personally renew to you the assurance of my dig • tinguished consideration and my unchangeable friendship, with which I remain, my brother and friend, and your Imperial Majesty's good brother, and friend, " CHARLES." LORD BROUGHAM AND THE NATIONAL SHAK SPERE COMMITTEE.—The pleasant but erroneous story that Lord Brougham thought Shakspero an overrated man has been effectually contradicted by the noble lord him self, who has expressed readiness to co-operate with the promoters of the Shakepere Tercentenary celebration. The laughter of the clubs is therefore at an end, as fur as the ex-Chancellor's estimate of the poet is concerned. Having thus joined the committee, his lordship will forthwith be placed amongst the vice-presidents of the association as a distinguished representative of literature, law, and science, and as the official chief of a great national seat of learning. DROPPING FROM A BALLOON.—One, yes, juts' one cup of wine before the final plunge can do no harm. I took off my shoes and other heavy clothing, leav - ing them at the bottom of the car, and retaining only my blue striped cotton shirt, my blue cloth trousers, and my blue worsted socks. The money in my netted purse (one shilling and sixpence only, a schoolboy's treasure), was so trifling in weight as not to need discarding ; I strung the empty full-blown bladders to my handkerchief, which I teen tied round me beneath my arms and encircling I nY chest. I looked down again at the sea, and tried to per suade myself that it lay not very far below. I knelt in the car and said a short heartfelt prayer. And then instantly, fearing that a moment's delay might bring with it doubt. and hesitation, I climbed over the car and hung by 1313 hands to its outside edge, with my feet crossed ftogoemtheearnacsi they dangled in the air.
