LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 3O, 1863.

AMERICA.

New York papers of the 18th state that the riots
had almost entirely subsided on the previous day.
The wards where the greatest excitement had pre-
vailed were filled with large forces of military,
who patrolled the streets entirely unmolested by
the populace. Business went on almost as gene-
rally as before the unfortunate disturbances took
place, and all the cars and stages performed their
trips as usual. A number of regiments hsd Arrived
from different quarters, and the authorities did not
apprehend any further disturbance.
The following proclamation was issued by the
mayor on the 17th :

TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW TOILE.
The riotous assemblages hays been dispersed. &Wows
is running is its usual channels. The various lines of anni-
bases, railway, and telegraph have resumed their ordinary
operations. Few symptoms of disorder remain, except in
•small district in the eastern part of the city, compri►iog
a part of the Eighteenth and Twenty-first wards. The
police is everywhere alert. A sufliciest military force is
now here to suppress any illegal movement, however
formidable. Let me exhort you, therefore, to pursue
your ordinary bunions. Avoid especially all crowds.
Remain quietly It your homes, &wept when engaged

in obedience to orders from superior authority. Your

defend. and it is your duty to defend them at all hazards.
Yield to no intimidation and to no demand for money es
the price of your ssfety. If any person warns you to
desist from your accustomed bushing, give no heed to the
warning, but arrest the person and bring him to the nearest
station house for punishment as • conspirator. Be enured
that the public authorities have the ability and the will to
protect you from those who have conspired alike against
your peace, against the Revealment of your choice, and
against the laws which your representatives have enacted.

Subjoined are details from the New York papers
of the riots during the 16th and 17th inst. :
Nww Yon; JOLT 16, 2 PAC —Tbiop have fully resumed
their wonted appearance. The truck" have been relaid on
the railroads, end the telegraph lines are rapidly being re-
paired. regimens and batteries are arriving, with more
following in the way. A feeling of security again prevails
in the community, and the !swim scoundrels nod thieves
who have been the terror of the decent peopl of this city
for the last three days are skulking in their dens in back
streets and slums of the city, endeavouring to hide them-
selves and their plunder, while their abettors are endea-
vouring to leave the city. The notorious scoundrel
Andrews, who led the rioters on io burning the Orphan
Asylum, has been arrested. A revolution of feeling
is coming, and the government will undoubtedly be
sustained in the maintenance of order end law.

3 P it.—A gang of ruffians drove off the workmen this
morning from the Gas Works oo Fouteenth-street A small
gang stopped a horse car on Fourth avenue, robbed the
conductor and all the passengers, and thee let them go.
There is no truth in the reported burning of factories in
Newark. In several towns in the enburbs the riotous de-
monstrations have been prevented by the action of the
catholic priests, imploring their parishioners to desist
Some frame houses on Tweetydrinth-atreet, New York, were
burned by the ruffians early this morning, the owners and
occupiers refusing to subsidize them. The firemen rallied
to save the lives of several regrow', and drove the rioters
off. Some thirty or forty of the mob were killed, and
more wounded. At one o'clock 150 regulars with two
howitzers repaired to the scene and were furiously
asaailed, but the soldiers fired regularly, and finally
the cannon were turned on the bowies with
terrible effect, the rioters getting cut up fear-
fully. About one o'clock the troops had possession of
the locality. Two Degrees were killed and thrown into the
East River last night. A drew. is said to belong to a fat
family in Virginia, and has been quite prominent at certain
anti-administration meetings held at the Cooper Institute
and other places of late. The Mayor of Brooklyn, in view
of the large conflagration but night, has requested the
citizens to form patrols for eight duty to maintain order,
ensuring them of Ma co-operation.
Now YORK, JULY 16, EVENING.—Tbe passions of the
rioters were inflamed this evening by the funerals of some
victims of last sight's fight. All was quiet in Harlem and
Yorkville during the day.
Sumter' Bradley and Conolly requested the withdrawal
of the troops from the first district, which was refined by
Police-commissioner Acton and General Brown. At 4 p.m.
a sharp fight was going on between the soldiers and the
rioters. All the stages and M. running through the city
will be patrolled by the military to-night. It appears that the I,
Staten Island riot was but an insignificant affair. The ina-
pressioo is now (10 o'clook) that there will be no more rioting
in the city to-night, and that the arrival of the military has
made the rioters wary. One of the ringleaders of the snob
was captured by the soldiers of the 21st, and to-night has
probably been hung.
Now Yone, JULY 17.—General Kilpatrick arrived last
evening, and a force of cavalry is to be immediately orga-
nised for mounted patrols, for military movemeota. There
will be but little opportunity foe rioters to carry on their
designs to-day, any attempt at which will meet with a ter-
rible check.
The 153rd New York arrived at midnight. Probably
the last fight of consequence between the military and
rioterstook place sear Ninth-street, whale the military force
had been seat to drive away the scoundrels plundering
houses there. The mob concentrated strongly, sod the
military withdrew. Nearly every house for three or four
blocks on both sides of the streets were filled with the mob,
who fired bulleta, shot, and other deadly missiles upon the
soldiers. The Times says that 15 roes of the 7th Regi-
ment are reported killed by stones and brick bats. 760
regulars were seat up as a reinforcement, when a terrible
battle took phi*. Eleven rioters were killed, 18 wounded, and
35 taken prisoners. Two of the nub were run through
with bayonets very handsomely. Fifteen rioters were cap-
tured, and the police are constantly bringing them in. Hemp
is in demand.
In regard to the rioting at Boston, it appears that on the
night of the 14th four or five pereoos were killed and a
dozen wounded, some seriously.
The most daring attack of the rioters was that on
the Armoury in Cooper-street, were a force of military wee
stationed, to protect it. When the mob had beaten dews
the doors they were fired upon by a 6-pounder loaded with
canister, and it effectually scattered the mob at that point.
One rioter was completely riddled with shot, and fell
dead at the door of the Armoury. Three young men zed
three or four small boys were wounded, but not seriously.
They were sot participators In the riot. The rioters then
attacked the gunshops in Dock-street, steeling and destroy-
iog from 40,000 dots. to 50,000 dots worth of property.
They were dispersed by a volley from the revolvers of the
police. The let Dragoons appeared at nine o'clock, and
patrolledthe streets, which, together with alone of infantry,
overawed all further outbreaks.
The following is the official report of the attack
on Charleston :

Mons on Om south end of Morris Island, and after an engage-
ment ',Wag three hours and a quarter captured all his
strongholds on that part of the Wand, and pushed
forward my infantry to within 600 yards of Fort Wagner.
We now bold all the island, except about one mile on the north
end, which includes Fort Wagner and a battery on Com-
' mina's Point, mounting at this time 14 or 15 heavy guns in
the aggregate. The 'amenities column was gallantly led by
Brigadier•Oeneral Strong. They leaded in small boats,
under oover of our batteries on Folly Island, and four
Monitors led by Rear-Admiral Dahlgren, which entered the
main channel abreast of Morris Island soon after oar batte-
ries opened. The Monitors continued their fire during the
day, mostly against Fort Wagner. On the morning of the
11th, at daybreak, an attempt was made to carry Fort
Wagner by assault. The parapet was gained, but the sup-
porta retreated under the fire to which they were exposed,
and could not be got up. Our losses in both actions will
not be much, say 150 killed, wounded, awl missing. We
bane takes 11 pieces of heavy ordnance and a large quantity
of camp equipage. The enemy's loss will not fall short of
MO.—Very respectfully your obedient servant,

General Banks thus announces the surrender of
Port Hudson :

Before Port Hudson, July 8.
fatiseral.—The lesrimrippi river is now opened. I lave
the honour to inform you that the garrison of Port Hudson
surrendered unoonditionally this afternoon. We shall take
formal possession at seven o'clock io the morning.

The following is given as the " situation " by the
New York Herald of July 18 :
Gwent Lee's army wee reported to be at Front Royal
yesterday marniag, puahing on towards Richmond as madly
as possible, without any regular order of march. The ca-
valry, infantry, artillery, and trains were all inextricably
mixed up. It was stated by a captured rebel officer that
General Lee had no intention of giving battle this side of
Richmond if he could avoid it. _ _

We are not informed of any movements of General
Meade's army to-day.

A rumour preveiled bathe city peter lay that Charleston
had bees attacked, and that the r, beta had evacuated it on
the 14th instant, after General Basuregard had set the city
on fire. This news is said to have come from the Chat-
tanooga &bet, sad is reported to have been communicated
to the government by General ft.eseranz. The latest dates
from Charleston are the dem:etches of General Gilmour on
the 12th. At that time Morris Island wsa not entirely in
his poemesion. Fort Wagner and the buttery at Cummieg's
Point bad yet to be taken. The government has received
so information whatever of anything of this kiod. Charles-
ton was not attacked at all on the day stated. The story is
a pure fabrication.
Dates from Memphis to the 12th state that reports from
the army at Vicksburg are all favourable. General Sher-
man is pursuing Johnston with every prospect of destroying
his entire army. General Dodge, at Corinth, reports that he
has routed the rebel forces under Forrest and Bights, which
have been scouring the country north of his liam, killing,
wounding, and rupturing quite a number. General Hurl-
but'a cavalry scouts report Colonel Blythe with 900 men and
four pieces of artillery at Coldwater-station, and General
Chalmers at Pencil& A letter from Chalmers states that
Johnston has been fighting near Jackson, and wsa falling
back.

The Richmond papers are terribly doleful over the recent
climate!". The Enquirer says :—" The fell of Vicksburg,
the retreat of Bragg, the repulse of Lee, and the advance
on Charleston are all serials disinters—the most seriousthat
have attended our arms sines the beginning of the war."
Geneial Neal Dow, who was captured at Port Hudson,
arrived in Richmond on Saturday, and was sent to Libby
Primo.

Repents malted Poetised yesterday, from •essels arriving
there, that about ten o'clock in the morning heavy Bring,
as if front the broadsides of two ships, was beard south
of Cape Elizabeth, a thick fog prevailing at the mom time.
