altarrAz OF TEN KIAISARGE AT DOVER.

The American war steamer Kearsarge arrived in
Dover rowb at six o'clock yesterday *Teeing. It had berm
stated la some of the French papers that a suoceesor le the
Alabama would probably be in waiting off Cherbourg when
the Federal vessel left that port, and that mother
naval engagement might take place, in which the South
would have an opportunity of retrievbig its late defeat. No
new Alabama, however, seems to have yet appeared ; bat it
is mearted that a steamer, the Jeddo, which left Bordeaux
on the 72nd Juno, is to take the pleas of the notorious
privateer. Oa this subject the Giroade of the 4th mays :
—" It will be recollected that a mystery surrounded the
departure al the Jeddo. This mystery MOMS likely to be
maintained. In fact it was Wednesday the 72nd Jose that
the Jidda quitted our port fur Amsterdam ; the voyage
between the two cities being ordinarily four days, we
ought five days ago at least to have beard
of the arrival in the Dutch port of the steamer built and
armed by M. Armen. But no conemertiel journal that we
know of has maid a word upon the subject. The voyage of
the Jeddo has certainly something strange and unusual
about it, and the future will soon show that the anticipa.
Cons respecting her were °sly too well founded."
The Opinion Ratioaale smarts that the vessel have
referred to will soon re-appear, fully armed and manned, and
with the Coafederate flag flying. Captain Semmes, it is
maid, is too ill to take the command of her. This duty will
consequently devolve upon the first limiteliant of the
late Alabama, whose appointment is expected to arrive
'about the middle of the present mooch. If the
statements of the French papers are to be relied 00, there
will soon be no lack in the Channel of war vessels belong.
lag to the opposing powers. According to those statements,
the Florida is already there ; the Jeddo, as we have semi, is
being got ready ; and " the South is probably preparing •
display of fresh forme ;" while, oa the other hand, we learn
that the Federal steamer Niagara left Antwerp on the god
hish to cruise in the Channel, and that a new Federal
steamer, the Macedonian, built upon the same model as the
Keenarge and armed with heavy guns, is expected. The
Prune thinks that • far more " dramatic engagement than
that in which the Alabama perished" may accordingly be
looked for at no distant daft.

Sunday, Holiday, Tuesday, sere Wednesday of the
current week passed rather quietly with the army before
Petersburg. AM. the whole See we were wads essy
musket rum of the mum, as we have bees the last three
days of the pp neviocs week, sad there uses an almost con-
tinual aarkhsg of musketry kept no by the skirmish Lim,
scoompasied by eassidonal artillery shots and sheiliag, not
unfrequestly inoressiag as portions of our frost kites meaty

dosing days of lest week, when oar army bad got up to
the last line of the rebel estresichineets, be. is no instance
been renewed thus far this week, as the piss were not at
all commensurate with the losers. Os Tuesday the Seeoed
Corps, which occupied the right coat», moved to the left
for several mile; its Otos being taken by porticos of the 9th
sod letth Corp., awl ceased the Norfolk and Petersburg
Railroad, about half way between which sad Ike Nom of do
Weidos Railroad it halted. The promote of the enemy in
force was developed two mass this side of the Weldoc-raid,

and the dividers was quickly formed in law of hattie ; but
the eamay's odium was found to be strum, and tin form
fell back sad joined duals body, which meek*, br.for the
sight. Our advance having thus been interrupted on Tuesday,

front. They report that heavy oannoesdieg was heard all
that morning, but whether this portends the opening of a

surprise no one who is iatireates with du situation there to
hear of a great battle at any hour, nor would it surprise
them or cause them regret, or be considered en adverse

weeks. Oar army is now excellently planted, and we pros
heavily and fatally upon the !obeli every day that we re.

The New York Trams* gives the following
account of President Lincoln's visit to Genera.
Grant and the army of the Potomac :
Waaldagtao. Friday, Jane 2t.

The President returned yesterdsy from rn his visit to the
front, satisfied with the °audition of things, and acefirmed
is hie coofideme in Grant's extraordinary qualitire a• •
commander. Mr. Lincole was amoropenied by Captain Fox,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, 'ad Calomel Chadwick, of
Willard's Hotel, who acted as chief caterer of the presides-
tisl party. He wee received at City Point by Gemmed
Great, and madame/ to the lieutenant-general's head-
quarters. After partaking of refreshments, the President
and Captain Fox accompanied General Grant to the trout, •
distance of tax miles. _ _

Mr. Lincoln, enrossk to the frost, pissed the coloured
trams in review. As soon se the fact was made known
that the tall stranger with Gomm! Grant wee the Presi-
dent, they began to cheer. Demoostratioos of curiosity
and joy were manifested all along the lines. The party
halted at oar advance works before Petereborg, where the
President had • lioe view of the city. As this visit was in
the midst of active operations, the Commander-in-Chief did
not visit the several corps of the army of the Potomac.
Ou Wedeesday the President and party visited Gemmel
Butler's headquarten, and under escort of the general sad
staff rode to the extreme right of ha lines, pear Fumes
Lland oo the James River, sad within sight and good
range of a rebel battery only 1,900 yards. This battery is
on the south side of the James, just above the obstractioes
placed in the river by order of Gement Great.
On Tuesday this battery opened upon our extreme right,
without doing any damage, when one of our monitors
lying near the obstruction. replied with a 15-inch Dahlgren,
and dismounted or silenced every
nientgun in it.
One or two of the rebel rams yieg oo the James River
for the protectioe of Rich cum down on Tmeday as
far as the vicinity of Dutch Gap and threw some shells
overland, but they fell harmless. The ran. are afraid to
round the bead of Farrar Island, fearing the 15-in. Datagram
on our monitors lying just below the obMactions.
The President found sod left Caporal Grant in the very
beet of spirits, end confident of a sooceedel result.
The New York Tribune of June 25 announces
