WEDNESDAY, OCT. 21, 11 A.M.

The latest despatches from Virginia report that
General Lee's whole army has returned to the
south side of the Rappahannock.
The Confederates here so thoroughly destroyed
the Orange and Alexandria railway, from Manassas
to Rappahannock Station (a distance of 20 miles),
that the repairs can only be effected at the rate of
one mile per day.
It is stated that Gen. Burnside has possession of
40 miles of the East Tennessee Railway, and is ad•
vancing upon Lynchburg, Virginia, Gen. Lee's base
of supplies, having already reached Abingdon,which
has necessitated the hasty falling back of Gen. Lee.
Despatches from Louisville, of the 20th, declare
Gen. Thomas the successor of Gen. Rosencranz.

Gen. Grant has been put in supreme command
of the departments and armies of the Cumberland,
the Tennessee, and the Ohio.
Gen. Rosencranz is ordered to proceed to Cin-
cinnatti, and report by letter to the Adjutant-
General at Washington.
The steamer Fulton, from Charleston bar, 7.30
p.m., on the 19th, reports no change in the quiet
state of affairs.

Governor Seymour yesterday issued a proclama-
tion in the response to the President's call for volun-
teers. He asserted that the Federal military situa-
tion in Virginia and Tennessee was most critical ;
that the armies were threatened with serious dis-
aster fcr want 3f adequate force, and declared that
it was the duty of all citizens, and that he should
expect it of them, as well as of all State officials,
to give efficient and cheerful aid in the furtherance
of the appeal of the President.
Mr. Vallandigharn has addressed a letter to
the democracy of Ohio, urging them to bear their
recent defeat with patience, and to preserve their
interest in the principles which they have declared.
He affirms that he will ever be stedfast to those
principles and true to the Constitution and to the
State and country of his birth.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
THORN, OCT. 31.
An imperial ukase, dated from Livadia, the 13th
inst., assigns pensions to the widows and orphans
of officials assassinated in Poland.
ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 26.
The Invalide Russe publishes advices from War-
saw stating that on the night of the 20th inst. the
police in that capital surprised a clandestine litho-
graphic press at work for the National Government.
Seven lithographic stones and four workmen were
seized.

The same paper publishes reports of numerous
encounters between the Russian troops and the in-
surgents upon the Bth inst. on the left bank of the
Nimen, near the village of Ritnitz. A large num-
ber of the insurgents perished in the flames. On
the 10th, in the forest of Borki, upon the boundaries
of the districts of Priyany and Kobryn, near
Onikchty, a convoy was suddenly attacked by the

insurgents. After killing and wounding several
soldiers, they succeeded in obtaining possession of
the convoy and beiggege. Some thirty traillours,
escorting Colonel Trofimoff, were also attacked by
the Poles,but the Russians received reinforcements,
and the insurgents were repulsed.

Lieut.-General Balaklanoff has sent several
columns through the majority of the districts com-
posing the Government of Augustow. A column
of the Guard, commanded by Major-General Baria-
tynski, encountered a band of 200 insurgents, led
by Ostrog, near Lake Pszerinki. The Poles lost
30 prisoners, besides five killed, and many drowned

in the lake. The Invalide states that the Russians
did not lose a man.

The Russian papers announce that the Heredi

tart' Grand Duke Nicholas Aiexandrowitch will
arrive at Moscow from the Crimea on the 29th,
and at Tzirskoe-Selo on the Ist or 2d November.
It is believed that he will be followed in a few
days by the Emperor Alexander and all the Court.
POSEN, OCT. 25.

The Warsaw correspondent of the Posener
Zoitung states that General _Berg has given orders
to stop the issue of passports for foreign parts.
This measure is felt as a peculiar hardship by men
of business who have taken out passports within the
last few days. These persons have vainly appealed
to M. Ostrowski, the Minister of the Interior, for
permits of departure, alleging that no law can
have retro-active force. Young Count Plater, who
was upon the point of leaving with a legally-
obtained passport, has been arrested at the railway
station. It is said that the police found upon him
prohibited books and photographs.
Three spies have bees poignarded in Warsaw
during the last week, but the assassins contrived to
escape. The Russians threaten to make a terrible
example. It is feared that their ♦engeance will
fall upon Count Stanislas Zamoyski, son of Count
Andrew, whom they accuse of a guilty knowledge
of the recent attempt upon the life of Gen Berg.

CRACOW, OCT. 27.

The Warsaw correspondent of the Czas reports
as follows of the state of discipline among the Res-

Sian troops :

"A soldier left the ranks yesterday in front of
the railway station, and going up to his captain,
abused him in the most violent terms. The cap-
tain ordered the man to be silent and return to his
duty. The order not being obeyed, the officer
called upon the comrades of the mutineer to arrest
the delinquent, but no one stirred. The captain
was obliged to procure the assistance of another
company before he could get the man away. It is
by no means rare.for the Russian soldiers to retort
upon their officers the coarse and brutal language
wllich the latter use. Occasionally also they have
recourse to their arms. The men accuse the officers
of appropriating an unfair proportion of the booty
taken from the unfortunate Poles.

ITALY.

TURIN, OCT. 31.
Upon his return his Majesty will remain a few
days in Tuscany.

FRANCE.

PARIS, OCT. 31

News has been received here, via St. Nazaire,
from Vera Cruz to the Ist inst.

Intelligence from Mexico to the 27th September
states that the condition of affairs is favourable,
that numerous adhesions to the French interven-
tion are being given in, and that the organisation
of the rural militia is being developed.
Great disorders existed among the adherents of
Juarez, the majority of the Governors disavowing
ti s authority.

Marshal Forey has addressed a letter to the Em-
peror, describing the present state of affairs, and
waking some observations upon the stipulation of
the Archduke Maximilian that he will only defi-
nitely accept the crown upon the adhesion of the
majority of the Mexican States. This adhesion,
Marshal Forey says, may perhaps be considered
already accomplished, the populations of all places
from which the adherents of Juarez are absent hav-
ing spontaneously recognised the French inter-
vention.

PARIS, OCT. 30 (Evening).
The Empress arrived here at three o'clock this

morning.

The Nation of this evening says that Lord
Napier was to hand Prince Gortschakoff, on Wed-
nesday, a despatch conciliatory in contents and
form. The despatch terminates thus :—" Russia
must not forget that the rights of the Poles are
written upon the same treaty which gave Poland

to Russia."
General Bedenu is dead.

The Courrier du Dimanche says that Eirl Rus-
sell has sent a despatch to St. Petersburg, the argu-
ments of which are less positive than thcse of his
preceding notes. According to the Courrier the
present despatch does not affirm that Russia has
forfeited her treaty rights to Poland. The Courrier
also states that France was not disposed to adhere
to the English despatch on account of its insignifi-
cance.

CHERBOURG, OCT. 30 (Evening.)
The Confederate steamer Georgia has arrived
here to revictaal and take in coal.
