LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 13, 1863.

From America we learn by the telegrams arriving
this afternoon, and given by us elsewhere, that at
various parts of the seat of war there has been more
fighting, and that at one or two points there have
been effected several important strategic move-
ments. As usual, however, nothing decisive of any
kind has anywhere been accomplished. Everything
that is done is simply by way of preliminary. News
of interest is promised by the next mail. Nothing
additional is told about the relative posi-
tion of the maim armies under MEADE and
under LEE. Charleston advices intimate that
the bombardment of Fort Sumter on the 30th of
October was the very heaviest yet adventured upon.
Between sundown of the 28th and sundown of the
29 thtnPwards of a thousand shots from fifteen inch
mo
and.3oolb parrott guns had been belched forth

ants upn., the (lay afterwards, that is the 30th, the

haven Confederates
wounded ! Happily if there is great cry in the
art
roaring of this stupendous artillery, there is but
little wool in the shape Of the slaughter
it. At Chattanooga, on the 28th, realeaHuose?dK by
is reported to have gained a series
of
victories o:
moderate dimensions—of very moderate
dimensions,h
s
it will be confessed when we have pitted own
loss to the number of 350 killedand.wounded
against a capture afterwards, as
the fruits of the
struggle, of seven Confederate prisoners. Meanwhile
the Southerners themselves appear to have been
adventuring, upon that same date, the
28th
upon an attack of General GEARY'S division
the report of General TsomAs being, however, that
the assailants had then and there been repulsed,
being in point of fact driven across Look out Creek
from their advanced breastworks. While from
London, Tennessee, the intelligence is to the effect
that General BURNSIDE'S forces have returned to
the heights overlooking that town, we learn that
south of the Tennessee, fifteen thousand Confederate
cavalry were preparing to operate on General
GRANT'S line of communication. In those direc-
tions, at least, all was movement and energetic
preparation. Elsewhere the silence and torpor
seem to us, of course, remembering how the main
armies are placed now relatively to each other,
rather ominous of a deadly encounter, an encounter
that
if entered into resolutely by the confronting
belligerents, may just possibly prove in some de-
gree deeisive—deeisive at any rate in respect to
the Immediate future reserved for Washington.

'The philosophic •
po itician who likes to look be-
yond the surface, and to moralise oo the principles
that regulate the fortunes of States, may just now
draw an interesting comparison between two king-
dome, both of modern growth, if of unequal dignity.
-Within the last few days the representative assem-
blies of two continental kingdoms, not very far
sprit, gaVa been opened by the Sovereign in ques-
tion, but the resemblance probably began and ended
there. In the one a prosperous and loyal people
awarded a cordial greeting to an aged monarch
whose recent illness added to the warmth of his re-
ception. In the other, gloomy silence marked the
advent of a capricious and despotic king, while
both sides felt that the truce Was over, and
