The following is the passage of the speech which
Cardinal de Bonnechose delivered on receiving the
Cardinal's hat, as quoted by the Correspondence of
Rome and announced by telegraph—" In the Pope
is personified that admirable institution founded
by the Saviour of the world, who constituted the
Pope as his representative on earth, But we look
on his Holiness such as Jesus Christ made him by
himself, and such as he has become by the work of
ages—the instrument of his providence—the Pope
surrounded by ell the temporal guarantees of his
dignity, independence, and sovereignty—the Pope,
with all his means of free action over the human
race. Such for the last 1,400 years France
has always comprehended him—such, with the
exception of some moments of giddiness, she
has always wished him to be, and maintained
him. Such we cannot doubt is also the wish of the
glorious Prince whom she has voluntarily given
herself as Sovereign. He is too well acquainted
with the French not to have proved that, among
so many generous sentiments rooted in their hearts,
there is not ono deeper or more indestructible than
that of attachment to St Peter's Chair. The his-
tory of the Church and of France attests that truth,
and reminds us that the closest union is necessary
between that people and the Holy Sae, in order
that, on the one hand, the people should prospgr
under the benediction of GA, and that, on the
other, the Church should enj )y the plenitude of its
beneficent influence in the world."

The G iornale di Roma of the 221 publishes the
following ;—" During the last three days Cardinals
Trevisanato and Bonnechose have been receiving
the congratulations of the cardinals, diplo-
matic body, prelates, nobles, and other dis-
tinguished persons. The residence of the Austrian
Embassy, where Monsignore Trevisanato held his
official reception, was superbly decorated for the
occasion, and the same magnificence was observed
at the Colonna Palace, the hotel of the French
Embassy, where Monsignore de Bonnechose held
his levee. The Marquis Antici Mattel, of the
Sacred College, senator, came to Rome yesterday to
make his customary visit to the two cardinals.
Before the Austrian and French Embassies military
bands were stationed, and for two evenings both
buildings were illuminated. The two cardinals
proceeded yesterday to the tomb of the Prince of
Apostles to pray, and afterwards visited Cardinal
Mattei. During the evening the cardinal's hat
was delivered to their Eminences by Monsignore
Francesco Ricci, Secret Chamberlain."

AMERICA.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
LIVERPOOL, OCT. 1.

The royal mail steamer Scotil, arrived here at
1.30 this morning. Among her passengers are Mr
Hiram Sibley, President of the Western Union
Telegraph of America, and P. Mc D. Collins, pro-
jeetor of the overland telegraph to America via
Behring's Straits, who are en route to St. Petersburg
to carry out the enterprise,
NEW YORK, SEPT. 21.

Advices from City Point to the morning of the
19th inst. state that heavy cannonading was main-
tained during tha preceding night against the
Second Corps, and it was believed that the Confe.
derates were about to make an effort to penetrate
General Grant's left flank. The Lieut.-General
returned to the army on the 18th inst.
Oa the evening of the 16th a large force of Con.
federate cavalry under General Wade Hampton
dashed suddenly through Grant's lines, and sur-
rounded the reserve cattle pen opposite Harrison's
Landing, and
captured the entire herd, numbering
some 2,500 head. They also surprised and captured
the First District of Columbia Cavalry Regiment,
which was armed with sixteen-shooting rifles. The
Confederates then fell back rapidly on the Haw.
kinaville road. A pursuing
column was immedi-
ately pushed after them under Generals Davies and
Kantz. The pursuit was, however, unsuccessful,
and Hampton, with his prisoners and cattle, entered
the Confederate lines about three miles below
Ream's Station. This raid ia regarded as the most
daring and one of the most successful of the war, as
it has secured for Lee's whole army full rations of
beef for five or six weeks. The cattle were in fine
condition.

A desperate battle took place on the 19th be-
t ween the forces of Sheridan and those of Early
near Winchester, in the Shenandoah Valley, and
resulted in a decided victory for the Federal arms.

Secretary Stanton transmits the following report
from Gen. Sheridan :
Winchester, Sept. 19, 7.30 p.m.
Lieut.'Gen. U. S. Grant,—l have the honour to
report that I attacked the forces of Gen. Early on
the Berryville Pike, at tho ofossing of Opequan
Creek, and after a most stubborn and sanguinary
engagement, which lasted from early in the morn.
log until five o'clock in the evening, completely
defeated him, driving through Winchester, captur-
ing about 2,600 prisoners, 6 pieces of Artillery, 9

army flags, and most of their wounded. The rebel
Generals, Rhodes and Gordon, were killed, and
three other General officers were wounded. Most
of the enemy's wounded and all their killed fell into
our hands. Oar losses are very severe. Among
them is Gen. D. A. Russell, commanding a division
in the 6th corps, who was killed by a cannon ball.
Generals Upton, M'lntosh, and Chapman were
wounded. I cannot tell our losses. The conduct
of the officers and men was most superb. They
charged and carried Every position taken by the
enemy from Opequan Creek to Winchester. The
rebels were strong in number and very obstinate in
their fighting. I desire to mention to the Lieut..
General the gallant conduct of Generals Wright,
Crook, Emory, Torbeit, and the officers and men
under their command. To them the country is
indeb;el for this handsome victory. A more
detailed report will be forwarded.
P. H. S:IERIDAN, Mjor-Gen. Commanding,

Unofficial accounts state that the Confederate
loss was over 5,000. The Federal loss is known to
be very severe, but is not yet ascertained. The
19th Corps suffered severely from a furious can-
nonade of grape and canister, which it encountered
at the commencement of the engagement. The
final discomfiture of Early's forces was effected, it
is said, by a desperate charge of the Federal
cavalry under Generals Custer and Merritt. Early
is reported to have retreated under the cover of
night, and a pursuit was to be commenced on the
following morning,
The news had caused great rejoicing at Wash-
ington, where a salute of 100 guns was fired yes-
terday, by order of the authorities, in front of the
President's mansion. Various opinions are enter-
tained as to the course Early will now pursue.
Some think that he will receive reinforcements and
make a stand further up the valley, and others that
be will at once abandon the valley and reinforce
Lee.

The only news from Georgia is a Confederate re-
port that the 35,000 Federal prisoners at Anderson.
ville have been removed to Savannah and Columbus.

Mississippi advices announce a formidable con-
centration of Confederates under General Forrest
at Jackson. Some important movement was about
to be inaugurated. Forrest had 20,000 men and
an abundance of artillery, and a pontoon train. He
had prohibited all persons from passing though his
lines either way. It was rumoured that he medic
tated an attack upon New Orleans.
Confederate accounts from Mobile announce all
quiet. Several Federal vessels were lying below
the obstructions.

A report—which, however, lacks confirmation—
comes from New Orleans, to the effect that the
Mexican chief Cortinas, after repulsing a French
column advancing against Matamoras, had driven
back a force of Confederates which was moving
down on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande with
a drove of cattle for the French commander. Cor-
tines, then, finding he could not cope with the en-
tire French force advancing against him, crossed
the Rio Grande to the Texan side with his entire
command, numbering about 2,000 men, and drove
the Confederates under Col. Ford out of Browns-
ville, when Cortinas entered the town and raked
the American flag, declaring that he would hold
the place for the United States Government, to
which Power he gave in his adherence with his ens
tire command. It is represented that at latest
accounts Cortinas was at Fort Brown, and had 19
guns bearing upon Matamoras, which place the
French had no: yet entered, their forces being about
ten miles above Bagdad. Ford's force was en.
camped a few miles north of Brownsville. It is
also reported that a number of vessels which had
sailed from New Orleans for Matamoras with car.
goes for Cortinas, had been seized at the mouth of
the Rio Grande by the French squadron.

Full returns from the State election in Maine
show a Democratic gain of over 3,000 over the
Democratic vote polled at the last election. Go-
vernor Coney, the Republican candidate, was, how-
ever, elected by a majority of about 15,000. De-
mocratic journals claim that the State will be
carried for APC:ellan in November.

A great mass meeting to ratify the nomination of
M'Clellan and Pendleton was held at Union-square,
in this city on the evening of the 17th inst. The
meeting is believed to have been the largest and
most enthusiastic one ever held in this city. A.
number of eminent speakers, among whom were
Governor Seymour, Governor Parker (New Jersey),
August Belmont, Han. RAt. C. Winthrop (Massa-
chusetts), Mayor Guuthre, and Judge Comstock,
addressed the people from ten different stands. The
meeting terminated with a display of fireworks and
a torchlight procession of the various M'Clellan
clubs. The speeches made were severely condemna•
tory of the present Administration. On the same
evening ratification meetings were also held in
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, and all the
principal cities of the North—great enthusiasm
being manifested throughout. At St. Louis, the
meeting was interfered with and partially broken
up by a mob, instigated, the Democratic journals
assert, by the Republican authorities. It was feared
at one time that the disturbance would result in
a general riot, A meeting held at Pottsville, Penn-•
sylvania, was also interfered with. The Philadel-
phia Age, a Democratic paper, states that a squad
of about 20 cavalry, from a camp adjoining the
town, attacked the people with drawn sabres, and
that quite a fight ensued between the citizens and
the soldiery, during which a number of persons
sustained serious injuries. The soldiers flashy
finding themselves outnumbered retreated to their
camp.
