[REUTER'S EXPRESS
Latest advices from the Army of the Potomac
report all quiet at the front. 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.

of the most illustrious Archducal House, whether arising
from lies of blood, birth, cr custom, shall be in full force.
Art. V. 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.
