AMERICA.

(Per the City of New York.)
NEW YORK, JUNE 26.
The Confederates under General Lee, with
cavalry and artillery, have, after a severe skirmish,
driven the Federals under Milroy out of Maccon-
nellsburg, and occupied that place.
The Federals have evacuated Carlisle, and fallen
back to Harrisburg.
The Confederate advance in Pennsylvania is said
to be 10,000 strong.
The Baltimore correspondent of the New York
Herald furnishes the following particulars concern-
ing the development of General Lee's plans :
On crossing the Rappahannock to move north-
ward General Lee took with him a very large pon-
toon train said to come from Richmond. These
pontoons could not be necessary to cross the Upper
Potomac, as that is easily fordable ; neither to cross
the Susquehannah, as there are no indications of
large Confederate forces being in that direction.
On leaving Warrenton and Thoroughfare Gap,
General Lee detached one whole corps, at least
30,000 strong, who are now on their way to Dum-
fries, vul Brentsville. It is stated that this column
is accompanied by 40 pieces of artillery and a pon-
toon train. If this is the pontoon train mentioned
above, there can be but one explanation of the

movement.
General Lee designs this corps to cross the Poto-
mack at Budd's Ferry, which is only 15 miles be-
low Washington, and to advance on the capital by
way of Bladensburg.
It is possible, also, that General Lee expects the
Federal forces now in the peninsula to be sent up
the Potomac to Washington, and he will seek to
re-establish the old batteries on the Potomac, in
order to sink the transports conveying troops from

the peninsula.
The Confederate infantry which defeated General
Milroy at Winchester, M‘Reynolds at Berryaville,
and Tyler at Martinsburg, did not cross the Poto-
mac at all. After occupying Martinsburg, they
proceeded along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
as far west as Cumberland and as far east as Point
of Rocks. The railroad between these two points,
a distance of 90 miles, is in the complete possession
of the Confederates, and, in a military point of
view, they have rendered this road entirely useless
to the Federal Government. The railroad commu •
nication between Washington and the West, so far
as that road is concerned, has been completely cut
off.

General Lee, instead of moving on Centreville, is
reported to be advancing with his main body to-
wards Gum Spring, Draineville, and Coons Ford.
If this be true, there can be no longer any doubt as
to the direction General Lee's plans will take.
From Coons Ford to Rockville and thence to the
Baltimore Railroad will be but a short march.
This railroad once cut, whether by this column or
by the one advancing from Budd's Ferry, or by both
cooperating, Washington will be as completely iso-
lated from the North and East as it is now from
the Wcst. The capture of Washington will then be
reduced to a question of strength between the armies
of Lee and Hooker.
If the forces under Gens. Dix, Peck, and Foster
could be hurried up to Washington, they would
swell Gen. Hooker's numbers to a very high figure ;
but this will only be done by the Government when
it iA too late.

MISS ELIZABETH PF.ILP'S CONCERT.
A very brilliant and delightful entertainment
was given by this young lady, at the above rooms
in Hanover-square, last evening, and which had
the effect of attracting, as it deserved to do, a very
refined and numerous audience. Miss Philp, who,
we need scarcely say, is well known in musical
circles as one of our most finished female musicians,
as well as a most pleasing singer, was a host in
herself on this occasion, which her singing through-
out the evening abundantly attested. She was sus-
tained, however, by the talents of Madlle. Artot,
from Her Majesty's Theatre, one of the most de•
lightful acquisitions that our lyric stage has made
forGiu
rnicr.
Il
maanytoy,,e,araiaci
years, and whose
exquisite " Valse" fromwhose aria from the "
Gounod's Faust, were sufficient evidence of the great
range as well as merit of her powers. Miss Eleanor
Wilkinson and Madame Lines Martorelle were also
very successful, whilst 3lr. Wilbye Cooper and Mr.
118,i'aeniissst,s;isitsasinAedlicte 31angold, made a very favour-
heir usual reputation. A young
able impression, especially in some studies from
Stensett and Bach, which were very properly
encored. Among the best features of the night was
Miss Philp's delivery of her own ballad, " Sitting
lonely, ever lonely,' which so well attested her
claims as a composer to be on a level with those as
a singer. It was a very graceful and tender effusion,
very perfectly delivered.

As far as Gen. Lee is concerned, having sent
30,000 men towards Budd's Ferry, and having
10,000 to 15,000 men near Harper's Ferry, he ip
probably only waiting for certain reinforcements
which were on the way some time ago to join him.
During the last two weeks 40,000 Confederate
troops have passed through Lynchburg, bound for
Richmond and the North. They were Gen. Lee's
old troops he had sent to Chattanupga some weeks
ago, and 20,000 others from Gen. Bragg's army.
This, with 10,000 troops sent him by Beauregard at
Charleston, will make his force amount to 150,000
men.

General Hooker can no longer choose his ground,
or, as he boasted, give battle or abstain. He will
be compelled to fight at the moment General Lee
thinks proper to attack him, and he cannot post-
pone a fight when that day comes. The reason of
this is that Tinker possesses none of the strategic
resources which would have enabled him to choose
his time and place of fighting, and have prevented
Lee from crossing the Rappahannock at all.
The statement made by the Rzchmoncl Despatch
that Richmond is row uncovered, is a blind to con-
ceal the fact that Richmond is well defended, and
to allure the Federal forces on to the peninsula, to
what would be a disastrous defeat.

So imminent is the peril that is supposed to me-
nace Baltimore that the most urgent appeals are
made to the people by the Government, the mayor
of the city, the councils of the military authorities,
and the newspapers, to turn out to work on the en-
trenchments, which are being hastily erected for
the defence of the city, and to enlist in the various
military organisations.
Late reconnoissances develop the fact that the
Confederate army of the Potomac does not occupy
any portion of territory extending from Culpepper
to Warrenton, New Baltimore, White Plains, and
Salem on the west, to Fredericksburg on the east,
and to a distance several miles south of the
Rappahannock.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald writes as follows :

General Lee, for a week previous to moving from
Culpepper in the last mysterious movement, gave
orders which were stringently enforced, that no
pereon, soldier, or citizen, should be allowed to leave
his lines. It is said that his army commenced to
move on Saturday, and continued to pass through
Culpepper during all the intervening period, up to
Thursday of the succeeding week. His force is
said to have consisted of Ewell's corps of 35,000
men, who marched out first, Longstreet's corps of
42,000 men, and Hill's corps of 28,000 men, who
brought up the rear. General Stuart's cavalry,
18,000 strong, protected the flank and rear, while
Jenkins, with 3,000 men, accompanied Ewell into
Maryland, the deaination of the main portion of
the army. The artillery is said to be in superb
condition, and very numerous.

44 Richmond is defended by the corps of D. H.
Hill, 21,000 strong, on the south side, by Major-
General French on the north, or near the city, with
about 17,000 men, while the heavy brigade under
General Wise is on the York River Railroad.

General Cone, with two brigades, occupies Han-
over Junction, assisted by 3,500 mounted Texans,
taken prisoners at Arkansas port and exchanged.
This force is to be drawn close around and concen.
trated near the capital in case our army should
advance.

General Jackson commands the department of
East Tennessee, and has under him Gen. Pegram,
with 8,000 to 10,000 men, which, together with the
force in th© Cumberland Gap region, is expected te,
move into Kentucky.

General Stuart's command is said to consist of six

divisions of two brigades each, three regiments to a been disastrously repulsed at all points, with th
brigade, and 500 men, the average maximum num- `loss of 700 to 1,000 men,

ber to a regiment, The 4th Virginia, the largest of

all, on a recent review, numbered 714, but every
man that could be obtained was present on this

occasion,

The New York Ilerald says that Gen. Lee, by
bold and rapid movements, has transferred the war
from Virginia north eastward from the Rappahan-
nock to the Potomac, and even to the Susquehannah
and has successfully achieved the most difficult and
dangerous operations in the war—viz., a flank
movement in presence of the enemy.
General Lee, without any considerable loss, has
succeeded in making a circuit around the right
flank of the Union army and getting in the rear of
Washington, while Hooker is still in front of that
city. _ _

Admiral Dahlgren will succeed Admiral Dupont
in the command of the South Atlantic squadron.

The legality of the prorogation of the Illinois
Legislature by the Governor is to be tried in the
Supreme Court. The Governor refuses to acknow-
ledge the legal existence of the present Legislature.

NEW YORK, June 26 (Evening.
(Per the City of New York.)

It is reported General Lee and his Staff crossed
the Potomac into Maryland on Wednesday.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has called for
50,000 militia, for defence for three months. The
Governor of Illinois has offered 10,000 men to resist
the invasion.

The New York. World says that Generals Hooker
and Halleck appear to have adopted the hypothesis
that Gen. Lee will not throw a large force into the
Northern States whilst Hooker remains on the
south side of the Potomac, or if he does that Hooker

can get into his rear.
The World thinks, however, that if, notwith-
standing Lee's formidable menace in crossing the
Potomac, Hooker persists in remaining on the south
side of that river, it will be in Lee's power to seize
the railroads and isolate Washington. "It this be
accomplished," says the same journal, "Hooker can
no longer avoid a battle in a position of Lee's choos-
ing, for the Government cannot afford to have a
Confederate army encamped between Washington
and the Northern States.

If Washington is assaulted on the Northern side,
the World thinks a great mistake will have been
made in not transferring Hooker's army into Mary-
land to meet Lee at the threshold. The universal
indifference of the people of Pennsylvania regarding
the invasion is the subject of much comment.
The .New York Herald says that the inhabitants
seems to have lost all spirit, and either retreat
rapidly at the approach of the Confederates or ex-
hibit a strange apathy. Even the troops from
New York and New Jersey are not received with
cordiality or enthusiasm, but the inhabitants
endeavour only to profit pecuniarily by their pre-

Bence.

THE POLISH QUESTION.---THE REPLY

BERLIN, JULY 7.

NEW YORK, JUNE 27, Morning.
(Per City of New York.)

There are indications that General Lee purposes
operating with his whole army on the North side
of the Potomac.

On Thursday night Hill's and Longstreet's corps
are both said to have crossed the river.

General Ewell entered Chambersburg on Wed
nesday, and issued an order forbidding the inhabi-
tants to sell liquor to the soldiers, also
admonishing persons not in military service
to abstain from acts of hostility, stating
that acquiescence in the demands of the
military authorities would less the rigours of war.
General Ewell's main force is believed to have
halted in the rear of Chambersburg, holding all the
roads and passes in the vicinity, and awaiting rein-
forcements.

General Early's divieion of Longstreet's corps,
consisting of ten regiments of infantry with cavalry
and artillery, occupied Gettysburg yesterday. It is
supposed that General Early will strike the
Northern Central Railroad at Hanover Junction or

Mountain. They are also in close proximity to
Carlisle, but have not yet occupied the place.

The New York Herald says that two days ago
half of General Lee's army was in Maryland and
Pennsylvania; the other half, immediately under
the eye of Lee, was 30 miles south of the Potomac
in the Shenandoah Valley. General Lee's whole
army may be described, in a military sense, as
being in the same valley, extending 30 miles from
Winchester to the Potomac, and thence 50 miles
northward from Chambersburg.
The .New York, Herald does not anticipate a
collision between Generals Lee and Hooker for
several days, and says it is probable that the first
serious hostilities will take place at Harper's Ferry,
for that point, with Lee's advance beyond the Po
tomac, is essential to Lee's communication
with the Shenandoah Valley, and Richmond.
Lee's siege trains will therefore probably be first
used against the Maryland Heights, in conjunction

MADAGASCAR.
REPORT OF THE FRENCH CONSUL.
PARIS, JULY 7.
The official report of the French Consul at Tama-
tave, dated May 15, has been published to-day.
This report explains that the cause of the politi-
cal revolution in Madagascar was the rivalry be-
tween the nobles and Nenamaso. The young men
who, at the accession of King Radama, took power
and monopolised all favours, suggested to the King
measures disapproved of by the peop:e. They were
accused of injustice, of being open to corruption,
and great immorality. Under their influence the
King published a law authorising duels, and even
combats of tribe against tribe, and village against
village, without any other formality than the con-
sent of the two parties, thus proclaiming civil war,
and furnishing a pretext for hostilities. The offi-
cers and principal inhabitants begged of the King
to recall this law, who, however, refused, and the
preparations for the conflict then began.

The Baltimore correspondent of the New York
Herald says :—Upon Thursday, 25th inst.,Lee was
in strong force at Frederick City, and from there
will either march on Washington or Baltimore, or

The French Consul assembled all his fellow-
countrymen, and the English Consul wished the
Methodist missionaries to take a similar course, but
they did not respond to his invitation.
The King, having again refused to revoke the
law, the people, slaves, and soldiers assembled in
the public places to search for the 33 individuals
belonging to the King's court, who had been pro-
scribed by the conspirators-11 were killed by the
multitude. While this was going on negotiations
were entered into with the King, who asked
mercy for the unfortunate men remaining, who,
he promised, should be exiled for lite. This wa
refused by the conspirators, who demanded that
the guilty should undergo perpetual imprisonment
in chains. The King would not at first comply
with this demand, but after much parleying ended

by accepting it.
The following day the King was assassinated,
and the Council proclaimed Queen Robodo, an-
nouncing thttt the King, disconsolate at the loss
of his friends, had committed suicide. The Queen
accepted the Constitution, which stipulates, among
other things, that she shall not drink strong
liquors, and that the right over life and death
belongs to the Council. It also abolishes the Tan-
quin, and maintains religious liberty.

An undertaking of importance, entitled the
London and African Trading Company, has recently
been announced. The capital required is £500,000
and the first issue will comprise 4,000 shares of
£25 each. The primary object is to barter with
the natives on the West Coast of Africa, English
manufactures for the produce of that portion
'of the continent, con sisting of palm oil, cotton,
ivory, ground nuts, &c. It is averred that
the trade of this region has hitherto
been exclusively conducted by individuals who have
realised large fortunes on the system of barter
carried on with the natives. It appears that the
most important article of trade is the palm oil, the
production of which is stated to be unlimited; and
that the nuts of the palm trees are so plentiful that
they are left strewed about the forests to
rot. Again, the eotten plant, which is indigenous
to the soil of Africa, can be grown in large quan-
tities, and the natives have long been successful in
the manufacture of cloths for their own use. The
prospectus states that the directors have effected a
favourable arrangement with a firm, for many years
carrying on a lucrative trade in this part of the
world, for the purchase of its business, and the
company will therefore be enabled at once to com-
mence operations.
