A communication from St. Petersburg of the 9th
says :

No one can be found here to accept the portfolio of
finance. Tbe state of ►ffairs is so delicate that even t►e
boldest are afraid. One of the eminent men to whom t►s
office was offered, General Tchekvine, formerly /Galatea. of
Public Works, refused it in the following terms :—" To

I refuse" M. de Rantern will therefore remain at his post ;

THE WAR IN SLESWIG.
APE-N.-FADE, Fla 16.

The Austrian head-quarters have arrived here,
and the Prussian head-quarters have been trans-
ferred to Grauenstein.

Field-Marshal Von Wrangel is on his way to the
latter place.
There are indications of an intention on the part
of the allies to enter Jutland.

SPEECH OF FIELD MARSHAL VON
WRANGEL.
FLENSBERG, Fa. 16, Erma.

Field Marshal von Wrangel on his departure for
Grauenstein took an affectionate farewell of
the principal inhabitants of this city, and ex-
pressed a hope that Sleswig would soon be freed
from the evils of war.

IMPORTANT SPEECH OF THE AUSTRIAN
COMMISSIONER.

The Aturtrian Civil Commissioner, M. Reverters,

fied, although a personal union of the Duchies with
Denmark could not be given up.
Prince Frederick Charles received yesterday a
deputation of the citizens of Flensburg.

ber constitution.

A PRUSSIAN ORDER OF THE DAY.

The Prase of Vienna thus expresses itself with
(regard to the last order of the day of Prince
Frederick Charles :—" The last order of the day of
Prince Frederick Charles, dated Olucksburg, Feb.
8, has naturally produced a great rensation in our
military circles. We leave to military pens the
teak of criticising in detail this unique document
of its kind. We shall confine ourselves to saying
that the Prussians did not pass the Schlei at Arnie
until they were well assured that the Danes bad
already left, and that this appears from the details
which their own journals have given on this
Pazafge"
The Oat Deutsche Post says on the same subject :
—" The painful surprise which has been caused by
the pretended order of the day of Prince Charles
of Prussia undoubtedly rests on a misunderstanding.
This document must be apocryphal. The awk-
ward imitation of the celebrated bulletins of
Napoleon L already appears to prove its falseness.
The grand conqueror wrote thus when he was at
the height of his glory, on the day after his most
splendid victories. A young general would not
express himself thus after a few days' campaign,
and some malevolent spirit has played
Prince Frederick Charles the evil Lick of
attributing to him this proclamation. A gene-
ral who acts in concert with allied corps would
not write thus. One has only to recall the bulletins
of the French marshals in the Crimea and in
Italy, and the esteem, the courtesy, and the
brotherhood of arms, which they displayed in
'relation to their English or Piedmonteee allies, to
be convinced that the tone and the tenour of this
order of the day would rank, if it were authentic,
with the most extraordinary enormities in the
history of wars."

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND THE
AMERICAN CRUISERS.

There are now several notices on the list of
parliamentary business, relating to the American cruiser
portico. Thus, to-morrow night, Mr. Henry Banns is to
list the Attorney-General " whether he is of opinion that
when an English merchant vessel is captured by an Ameri-
can ship of war in the harbour of • neutral state, it is the
duty of the government to wait for the action and decision
of a prize court before reparation and satiate/Akio are
demanded from the Americas government ; ad, if so,
whether the government would also have to wait for the action
of a prize court if an English vessel should be taken out as
a prize from an Eogliah harbour; and whether the cap-
tore of the British vessel the demos, by as American
ship of war in the Mexican harbour of Matamoros,
was net • violation of i•ternational law, and a
direct act of hostility spinet England." And on
Friday night, Mr. Lefwvre, on the other side, will
ask the Under-Seswistary of State for Foreign Affairs
whether it be true that • British ship, the Mariam, has
been captured by the Alabama, and bona by order of its
captain ; and, if so, "what steps the government are taking
to obtain mention and to prevent the repetition of such
outrages."

Oa Friday, the 4th March, Mr. Peacock* "will draw at.
tention to the demaade made in the cam of the Alabama ;"
sad the mine pntleman bee Lime notice that on going into

DOCKYARD ACOOUNTB AND ECONOMY.

This morning was issued a parliamentary return,
of 90 pages, showing the charges incurred in her Majesty's
dockyards and at the Admiralty for works upon ships'
seniors" during the year ended the 31st March bar To the
accounts is prefixed a report thereon from the Aooonnteat-
Ceara of the Navy, dated the 12th of the present month.
In the course of his report the Aosoustunt-Geserel„ after
elating that the stork of timber and Umber ms•
trials and stores in the several dockyard. are to
be valued on the let of April zest, continues:—
" As a further ccesequence of Mr. itanefeld's ioveetigations
bibs dockyard accounts and economy, an extension and
modification have been made in the new regulations, which
have bees framed for the preparation of the dockyard sod
factory accounts of expenses upon ships, services, sad con-
versions, and which it is proposed to bring into operation
on the let of April next. The chief objects sought to be
obtained in these regulations am to ensure in the future
preparation of these accounts that the charges should he
rendered upon a uniform principle ; that all arbitrary or
per.centsge charges should be discontinued, and that the
expenses exhibited is these accounts should represent either
a direct or an indirect charge against the particular ship or
service, sad inns afford upon all common points of agree-
ment a ormparieon of the expenditure for ships buildierand
manufacturing operations in her Majesty's dockyards with
that incurred in private trade. It is further intended, so a
consequence of the valuation of the stock of timber, timber
materiala, and stores in the several dockyard. on the
let April, 1864, to keep a ecietieuone record of the
value of the receipts and issues of stock, so is, at the ex-
piration of each year, to be enabled to show under certain
general heads the severs/ transactions throughout the year,
as well as the value of the remains of stock at the end of
the year. It only remains for me to observe that the
balsam-sheets of manufacturing operations and of con-
versions of timber et the severed dockyards sad gleam
factories at home for 1862.63, are in mune of tabulation.
and will he forwarded shortly to their lordship. for pre-

THE ADVENTURES OP A BLOCEADE RUNNER.

LIVERPOOL, Tusepsy.

By the arrival of the Cunard steamer Canada this
morning we eve put in poorer of the detai'a conarted
with the loss of the steamer Vesta, Capt. Meter. The in.
cidente are obtained from • Confederate officer,
who was a passenger In the Vesta from Bermuda.
The Vesta left Bermuda on the 3rd instant. For seven
days she was chased over the seas by • number of
Federal cruisers, but succeeded in eluding them ; and on
the 10th instant made the coast in the vicinity of Wil-
mington. Being compelled to lay to, she was descried
by • Federal cruiser. which gave chase, and in half an hour
more eleven mortar vessels were bearing down upon the
euddaaly discovered craft. The Vest,, although apparently
surrounded, ran the gauntlet in splendid style. Some of the
cruisers attempted to arose her bows, but she was too rapid
for this manoeuvre ; and at half a mile distance some of the
cruisers opened their broadsides upon her, while five others
were coatinually using their bow guns, exploding shells right
over the deck of the devoted vessel. Fortunately, no one was
hurt ; and the vessel ran through the squadron, mitering only
from a single shot, which passed amidships above the water-
line, but happily missed the machinery. But the trouble
seems to have commenced with what the presagers
anticipated to be the triumphant war from the wares,
for the captain, at 2 o'clock in the morning, directed the
pilot to take her ashore, telling him that the ship was
ten miles above Fort Prober, when the fact was
that she was at 40 miles to the southward of Frying
Pan Shoals. Fifteen minutes afterwards, the Vesta
made land, the pilot having run her so far ashore that it
sou impossible to get her off. She was run aground as
Little River Inlet ; the passengers landed in boats minus
their luggage ; and although there were no Federal cruisers
io sight, and not the least oemision for precipitation, the
vessel, with all her valuable cargo, was tired before day-
light by order of Captain Erten, sod Mimed to the
water's edge. The cruisers did not get up to the wreck
until 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the next day. The
cargo of the Vesta was of the most valuable description
thresloarths of it on government account, consisting
of army supplies, and including a very a:maxim
lot of English shoes. There was also lost in the wreck
• splendid uniform, intended for General Lee, from some
of his mirrors in London. Nothing of any amount was
saved. Amongst the passengers on board the Vesta were
Mrs. John Mitchel, Miss Mini* Mikdiel and Mr Isabel
Mitchel (wife and daughters of Mr. Joka Mitchel, of '4B
notoriety, who were returning to Richmond from a visit to
Eao) ; Mr. T. J. Lend, England ; Mr. Perrin, Confide-
rtarortates Navy ; Lieutenant J. H. Gardner, Confederate
Stair Navy ; Dr. William Shepherdsoe, Confederate States
Navy ; Paymaster Maim Coddler' States Navy ; and
Mr. Kirlebase, Bermuda. This was the first trip of the
Veda from England. She was a double screw steamer,
puler in all appointments ; and, at the time of the
wreck, was worth about 3C0,0004 to the Codederstas.

GERKANY AND THE DUCHIES.

EIMER, /Loam 18.

The semi-official Hord Deutsche Allgettitine Zeitattp
of to-day says :—" The delay in commencing the
peace negotiations is only to be attributed to the'
difficulty experienced in arranging the financial
questions between Denmark and the Duchies, which
require most extensive preliminary investigation."
The same paper says :—" The statement that the
great German Powers have already adopted any
definitive resolution in reference to the interim go-
vernment of the Duchies is considered improbable."
The motion proposed by Saxony at the Federal
Diet in reference to Sleswig and Holstein has been
withdrawn, the Saxon government foreseeing that
it would be unable to obtain a majority.

SAXONY.

DRESDEN, Room 18.

The Dresdner Jouvwel of to-day aasertas that the
Simon government haa received no note relative to
the proposal which Saxony intended to make at

Powers are requested to give the Diet satisfactory

respecting their intentions.

It lays in conclusion, " Saxony, yielding to
urgent entreaties, will abstain from bringing for-
ward this proposal."

Mr. 'femme showed cause against • rule obtained by Mr.
Gates to set aside an award, oa the ground that the proceed-
ings before the arbitrator were irregular. The plaintiffs were
manufacturers of a gas apparatus for private house', and
carried on business at Manchester, The defendant, who
also lived at Manchester, dealt in articles of that
kind, and fixed up the plaintiff.' gas apparatus in his
premise.. lie sold • great number of them to his customers,
and became indebted to the plaintiffs ie the sum of b 1&.
lion being asked to pay he complained that the apparatus
did not perform what the plaintiffs promised, and the
matter iu dispute was ultimately referred to a person named
Fletcher, who made an award. Wilson complained that
the arbitrator had received certain evidence io his absence ;
but the plaintiffs said be had only taken such evidence as
the parties bad agreed should he received,
Mr. Holker followed on the same side.
Mr. Gates was heard in support of the award. He
said that at the second and last meeting, before the
arbitrator, Wilson stated in what respect an apparatus fitted
up at the house of • Mr. C ,at Windermere, failed.
but Trscksell and Clayton alleged that the failure bad
arisen fnim the unskilfulness of Wilson's workmen in
fixing it up. It was then agreed that Clayton should go to
Carver's house and rectify any defect from the ma-
akilfuluess of the workmen, and that if be could
satisfy the arbitrator that the apparatus bad
worked efficiently foe 10 or 12 consecutive hours,
Wilson would pay the plaintiffs claim in full, together
with the costs. Clayton went and substituted for the two
generators then in use two others on an entirely different
principle, for which the plaintiffs had taken out a separate
patent after the first generators were supplied. The learned
counsel contended that this was not an alteration but a sub-
stitution of something entirely different.
After some discussion it wen arranged that the matter
should stand over in order to see if the parties could agree

Nosed his debt wad the defendant was discharged.
The next step was that the plaintiff obtained • summons at
the police-court against the defendant for obtaining money
upon the hill on false pretences, and the summons was
beard and adjourned. Under these circumstances the
defendant went to Mr. Lewis, • solicitor, who knew both
parties, said that he never intended to defraud plaintiff, and
offered to settle the proceedings upon the terms of paying
101. and giving a promissory note for 201. These 1411115
were accepted; sod the present action was to recover the
amount of the 201. note.

Mr. Reynolds appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
IlAtthews for the defendant.
Evidence having been given to prove the ►bove fact; it
was objected for the defendant that the promissory not
was void, upon two grounds : first, that it had been given in
respect of ► debt from which the defendant had been dis-
charged by the Baokraptcy Court; and, secondly, that it
bad been given to stifle a criminal proceeding.
Mr. Justice Willes said that it wee clear that the not
would have been void on the first ground under the Bank-
ruptcy Act of 1649, sod in his opinion the not still was
void under the act of INA. If the note had been given to
compromises felony it would no doubt have been void ; but
the question was whether the same effect followed when it
was given to compromise a misdemeauour. The beet course
would be for him to direct a verdict for the defendant, and
reserve to the plaintiff leave to move the full court to enter
the verdict for himself.
Verdict for the defendant accordingly.

The writer says :—" Russia, preferring liberty
of action, has likewise no desire for an alliance.
The visit to Nice was simply an act of courtesy, and
was devoid of any political bearing."

The haratide Omelutiel as follows : " TLe
advice of La France to avoid approximation be-

The semi-official Provinzial Correspondenz of

Count Rechberg has no connexion with questions
concerning, the relations existing between Austria

to further the common interest of Germany, a really
intimate relation of the two powers is neces-
sary, in which view the Emperor of Austria
fully coincides. The Austrian government has,
therefore, hastened to assure the cabinet of Prussia
that the change of ministers in no way affects the
relations of the two powers."
The same paper states :—" Prussia and Austria
having to occupy the provinces ceded to them,
will shortly enter into negotiations with the Fede-
ral Diet fur the withdrawal of the Federal troops
now quartered in the Duchies."

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE IN THE
SHENANDOAH.

The correspondent of the New York Ileraid of
the 21st ult, gives the following account of the
battle between Longstreet and Sheridan :
The enemy had noiselessly passed • heavy column of
troops behind the hill on the south-west side of Cedar
Creek, directly in front of the position occupied by our
extreme pickets. At • given signal the enemy ad-
c►noed rapidly in solid column. Oar pickets were
charged, some of them captured, and some of them driven
in before they bad time to discharge their muskets.
Haring driven i• or captured our pickets on the left line
of the infantry, the enemy charged 'cruse Cedar Creek at
the fords, and very soon after on the bridge of the said
stream, and reached the side of the hill and breastwork
occupied by Thempeon's division of the Bth Army Corps.
(Crook'.). The Confederates premed on, completely sus-
! prising, and in a measure stampeding the left of Gene-
ral Sheridan's line. By this success the enemy gained
some artillery (I believe the 4th Pennsylvania battery). The
suddenness of the attack and its wonderful success for a
short tinae, bewildered the troops. At this time a bold
charge was made by the enemy, under cover of his guns, to
capture Emery's artillery. In a measure this charge was
successful, although it was resisted with great vigour. In the
charge the Confederates took one or two pieces of the Ist
Maine battery, and 1 believe a portion of the Chase battery.
The enemy. seeing the success of his surprise, brought his
columns and his artillery across Cedar Creek to press the
pursuit with vigour. While this was being done a brief lull
prevailed, indoor line was contracted sod commenced slowly
felling back. General Sheridan arrived from Win.
chaster, re-organising his forces then seemingly more
given to • retreat than an advance. He promptly
changed the aspect of our military affairs, and turned the
tide of battle. The cavalry wee then sent upon the right,
the 19th Corps was placed next to it, the Sth Corps in the
centre, ►nd the corps on the left with Powell's division,
which was for a time cut off on the left of all ; a charge of
the enemy resisted, and an advance made successfully. Our
losses are estimated at 5,000,

General Lee reports that on the 14th Colonel
Mosby struck the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
Duffield, destroying a United States' mail train
consisting of a locomotive and 10 cars. Twenty
prisoners and 15 horses were captured. Amongst
the prisoners were two paymasters, with 168,000
