ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.

LIVERPOOL, Sunday.

The Canard steamer Arabia from Boston on the
30th, and Halifax on the morning of the Ist inst.,
and which called off Cape Race on the 3d inst.,
arrived here about half-past 7 o'clock this morning.
The Neu) York Herald of the 29th gives the fol-
lowing resume of the situation of affairs at that
date:—

" The latest advices from General Rosencranz,
dated Sunday afternoon, state that the rebels had
not made any attack since the 21st, and that he did
not fear they would make any at that late date.
General Meigs, 'who is with the Army of the
Cumberland, declares its position cannot be taken
short of a regular siege, which Bragg does not seem
to he attempting.
"The rebel news from Chattanooga reports a
loss to their army of 5,000 men, including Major-
General Hood and five Brigadier-Generals killed,
and seven Generals wounded. The Richmond
papers are quite desponding with regard to affairs
in Northern Georgia. General Bragg reports that
after two days' fighting the Union troops still con-
front him. It is reported in Richmond that
Rosencranz has been heavily reinforced by troops
from Grant's army. This is partially confirmed by
a despatch from Louisville.

"News from Knoxville up to Thursday, 24th
inst., had been received at Cincinnati, and it is there
stated that General Burnside still had his head-
quarters at that place. The rebel forces in East
Tennessee appear to be quiet, and no danger is
prehended.

" Rumours were afloat in Washington last even-
ing that the Union forces in Georgia and Tennessee
had met with a serious disaster, but nothing definite
had been ascertained from the War Department.
If unfavourable news had been received by the
Government it had been kept a profound secret
from those who usually find out such intelligence.
"It is reported that the rebels have concentrated
a force of about 10,000 men at Mount Jackson with
the intention of making a raid through the Shen-
andoah Valley. Heavy firing was heard yesterday
morning in the neighbourhood of Racoon ford, but
no particulars as to the cause has been ascertained
at Washington last evening.
"The arrival of the steamer S. R. Spaulding puts
us in possession of Charleston Harbour dates to
Friday, the 25thiinst. The army under General
Gilmore was busily engaged in remodelling batteries
Gregg and Wagner, and were making rapid pro-
gress towards completing the final arrangements
for bombarding the city of Charleston and Fort
Moultrie.

" Colonel Trusten Polk, of the rebel army, his
wife, and two daughters, were captured at Bolivard
Landing, Arkansas, on the 18th inst., and delivered
over to General Buford, commanding at Helena.
Colonel Polk was General Holmes's Judge-
Advocate-General, and is reported to have served
with the rebel forces at New Madrid, Corinth,
Inks, and Cold Spring.
" General Herron's expedition has been heard
from at St. Louis. It is reported that he has cleared
the entire country between Red River and Port
Hudson of all the guerilla parties who have been
firing on the vessels passing along the river, and
that he has driven General Green's rebel forces be-
yond the Atchafalaya with considerable loss.
Among the prisoners captured was a Government
agent of the rebels, with important papers. General
Grant has recovered sufficiently to be removed to
Vicksburg. It will be some time before he can
resume active duty.
"Colonel Cloud, of General Blunt's command,
arrived at Little Rock on the 19th inst., with a
small force of cavalry. Colonel Cloud, with a bat-
talion of the 2d Kansas Cavalry, 500 strong,
attacked General Cabell's rebel forces, 2,000 strong,
in the defences between Perryville and Fort Smith,
Indian Territory, and succeeded in routing them
with considerable loss. He also defeated a rebel
force at Dondonelle on the 9th inst., capturing their
camp end commissary stores. Over 2,000 Union
Arkansans had joined his command, and deserters
from the rebel forces were arriving at Little Rock
daily.
" The 'United States revenue steamer Herclus,
while lying under the Virginia shore of Chesapeake
Bay, was attacked on the 20th inst. by guerillae,
but after an engagement of about twenty minutes
the rebels were driven off."
The officers of the Russian fleet now at New
York were entertained at a sumptuous dinner at the
Metropolitan Hotel on the 28th uit. Great sym-
pathy was exhibited on both sides for Russia and
the United States.
The statement of the New York City Blnke

shows the following changes :—Decrease in loans,
3,177,472 dols. ; decrease in specie, 1,005,815 dole. ;
decrease in circulation, 36,757 dots. ; increase on

deposits, 504,474 dols.

The following is an address of the South-Western
GONernors

"To the People of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,

Missouri, and the Allied Indian nations
"At the invitation of the Lieutenant-General
commanding the trans-Mississippi Department, we
assembled at this place with several of your judges,
Confederate senators, and other distinguished citi-
zens, to confer with him on the measures to be taken
for the defence of our common cause. Those mea-
sures we do not particularise, as they had best be
disclosed by the execution of them, and by the bene-
fits they must produce. Coming to a thorough
understanding with him, the members of the Con-
ference unanimously sustain the vigorous and de-
cided policy he proposes to pursue.
" We will not attempt to disguise the change in
our position by the fall of our stronghold on the
Mississippi River. Interrupting communication
between the two sections of the Confederacy, it
throws each mainly on its own resources. But the
apprehensions of evil from this interruption have
been greatly exaggerated. The warning given by
the fall of New Orleans has not been unheeded,
and the interval since that event has been used to
develops the groat resources of this department.
We now are self-dependent, but also self-sus-

taining. •
" With our own manufactories of cannon, arms,
powder, and other munitions of war, with mines
opened and factories established, with cotton as a
basis for financial measures, and with abundance of
food, we are able to conduct a vigorous defence, and
seize occasions for offensive operations against the
enemy. The immense extent of our territory, the
uncertainty of navigating our rivers, the unwhole-
someness of the regions through which our interior
is approached, the difficulties of transportation on
our roads, present immense obstacles to the advance
of large armies of the enemy with their cumbrous
trains of luxurious supplies, small bodies will igno-
miniously fail in the attempt at our subjugation.
To crush even his largest armies we rely on the
energy and skill of our military commanders, the
zeal and activity of our civil authorities, the disci-
pline and courage of our armies, and the vigorous
self-sacrificing patriotism of our whole people.
There is everything to excite to renewed efforts ;
nothing to justify despondency.
" We are fortunate in the military chief of this
department. In the prime of life, of large experi-
ence, active, intelligent, and with the prestige of
uniform success in his undertakings, he is guided
by a profound respect for law and the constitu-
tional rights of the citizens. Reposing full trust in
him, we cordially commend him to your entire con-
fidenee and support. In view of the existing state
of our affairs he has been clothed with more than
usual powers by the President, to be exercised
within the bounds of the constitution and the law.
These just and legal powers he may have to exert,
promptly and boldly, to their fullest extent, for the
common good ; in so doing he will receive the zealous
support of every patriot. The entire military force
and means in this department should be liberally
used for our protection when necessary. Some
measures may inconvenience particular individuals,
but we rely on their patriotism and good sense to
produce a cheerful endurance of the hardships to be
expected in a war for our every existence as a
nation.

"To organise and combine without delay the in-
dividual efforts of our citizens to sustain our cause
we have formed unofficially a committee of publio
safety, to be composed of the executive of the States
in this department, and by the governor of Mis-
souri as the chairman thereof. By committees of
correspondence and voluntary associations in every
parish and county we hope to unite all our patriotic
citizens in a vigorous support of the Confederate
and State authorities in defence of our families and
homes. Let every one rally to the call and promptly
perfect an organisation which will fill the Southern
heart with renewed enthusiasm throughout the
whole department. Let a patriotic press and clergy
stimulate to exertion. Under the searching eye of
a whole people, aroused to ceaseless vigilance,
the plots of secret foes will wither in the
bud. By the wholesome influence, gentle
and peaceful, but imposing, of an organized, all
pervading, patriotic public opinion, the despondent
will be inspired with fresh hope, the steadfast be
nerved to heroic energy, the rapacious extortioner
learn liberality, the selfish trimmer abandon his
neutrality, and the vile traitor be cowed into in-

action of despair.
We address you in the true language of firm con-
fidence in the final triumph of our cause, concealing
nothing of our perils, exaggerating nothing of our
hopes. Oar powerful and haughty foes propose not
only to coerce us into submission, but to despoil us
of our whole property, and subject us to every
species of ignominy. Base is he who would not con-
tinue to contend for (Jur rights when all shall be
lost bat honour. The capitalist must be liberal of his
means, the speculator forego his gain, the straggler
hasten to his regiment, every able-bodied man hold
himself in readiness for military service, our women
the glory of our race tend the loom and even follow
the plough ; our boys guard the home their fathers
are defending on the frontier, and Western skill
and valour will prepare a San Jacinto defeat for
every invading army that pollutes the soil of this
department. Unsurpassed in courage, intelligence,
and energy, you have only to arise in your might,
and the enemy will be speedily driven back. Be
true to yourselves, your past history, to your hopes
of the future, and a baffled foe will gladly seek the
peace which we war to obtain.
" The enemy may dismiss all hopes that the
Western setion of the Confederacy will seek any
destiny separate from that of our sister East of the
Mississippi. Attached to the Confederacy by commu-
nity of race, institutions. and interests, baptized in
the blood we and they have poured out together,
we desire no new political connection. Let
our Eastern Confederates do their duty, these states
and their Indian allies will do theirs, and when our
joint efforts shall have secured our common safety,
the remembrance of the danger from a temporary
cessation of the intercourse will only strengthen the
ties which bind us together. In the darkest hour
of our history, the protection extended to us by
Almighty God has been so manifest as even to be
acknowledged by candid foes. Their victories have
been to them as fruit turning to ashes on their lips;
our defeats have been chastenings to improve us and
arouse our energies. On His help and our own
right arms we steadfastly rely; counting on aid
neither from the policy of neutral nations nor
from the distractions in the midst of our enemies,
we look confidently forward to the day when
thirteen Confederate States will occupy their right-
ful position among the great Powers of earth.

Alavrogordato; and the seventh included Messrs. Stawaty,
Zizinies, and B, C. ionidev, Greek merchants in London,

SANDRINGHAM, Oct. 10.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales will arrive at Sandringham in the course
of a few days; part of their Royal Highnesses'
suite having already arrived. This visit, which it is
understood will extend to about six weeks, is prin-
cipally that the Prince may have the shooting, and
from the abundant manner in which the preserves
are stocked it is presumed that the sport will be
good. The season has been very fortunate for the
preservation of game, and in this part of the county
of Norfolk poaching is happily almost unknown,
and hence the abundance of game. Though
the inhabitants of the district have not yet
got accustomed to the visits of Royalty, it
is believed that their good sense will prevent
any obtrusive marks of loyalty, which are, to a
great extent, irksome to the members of the Royal
family when in search of retirement from the
gaieties of the Court life. Two or three" meets" of
the West Norfolk hounds will be fixed by the
worthy master, H. Villebois, Esq., so as to enable
the Prince to hunt the county, and we
aro glad to be able to state that several
foxes have been preserved on the estate by the
Prince's direction, so as to prevent the annoy-
ance of a " blank day" when the " draw" is at
Sandringham. The hall farm it now in the hands
of the Prince (it having been farmed for several
years past by Mr. Joshua Freeman), and the agri-
culturists of the county augur from this step that
the Prince intends to follow in the steps of the late
Prince Consort, and take the position in the country
of the leading agriculturist. The farm is rather ex-
tensive, and having been well farmed is in good condi-
tion. It is rumoured that the Prince has annouriced
hia intention of honouring the Earl of Leicester
with a visit early in November, and the tenantry

are desirous of being permitted to evince their
loyalty and gratification at this visit of Royalty to
the finest mansion in Norfolk, the seat of the
Cokes. It is understood that the magnificent bound
book containing a description of the Norwich
gates, which were presented to the Prince
to be placed at the principal entrance to the
estate, and a list of the subscribers, will bo formally
presented to the Prince soon after his arrival at
Sandringham. His Royal Highness has won golden
opinions in the neighbourhood by the liberal
patronage accorded to the several sporting institu-
tions of the district.

The visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Prussia will extend to three months.—
Court Journal.

The suite of the Prince and Princess of Prussia
numbers twenty-six.

Although the private apartments at the Castle
are ordered to be got in readiness for the reception of her
Majesty and the Royal Family by the 17th inst., it is not
expected the Court will return from Scotland before the 24th.

His Majesty the King of the Belgians is expected
to arrive in England about the middle of next month on a
visit to her Majesty. His Majesty, it is thought, will pro-
long his stay in this country for at least two months.

His Royal Highness Prince Witham of Hesse
and suite left Thomas's Hotel, Charles-street, 3t. James's,
