of a representative for this county took place yesterday. A
good deal of excitement prevailed amongst the people, who
from an early hour in the morning crowded the usually

county would he taken out of the hands of the Wynn family,

candidate, Captain Tracy. Both parties mustered strongly,

THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1862.

FEDERAL DEFEAT.

We fear that the Federals have experienced
something very like a defeat before Richmond.

As the accounts come from the North, we expect
to- find—what has always been the case hitherto
—that great loss on both sides means heavy loss
to the Federals. The strategic movements spoken

of appear to be those of necessity, rather than of
choice. The renunciation of White House, and
the West Point Railway, of course, with it, is not
what we should expect, unless under compulsion.
rf we understand the movement rightly, General

M'CLELLAN's army, which lay nearly on the north

side of Richmond, now occupies a position on its west,
between the small river Chickohaminy and the St.
James's River, which is now to be his base of opera-
tions. We have at least another instance of Con-
federate dash and courage, and the leader in it is
again " Stonewall" JACKSON, who is the hero of the
fray. We shall soon have fuller information, but
at present the sum of all seems to be this—M'CLEL•

LAN'S right changed its entire position, and went
to the back of his left, not spontaneously, bat under
a vigorous and successful attack from JACKSON—
when right and left were massed together they
were able to repel JACKSON'S assault.

At last we have one bon mot that really was
uttered. An anecdote in history has been verified.
A popular tradition has been confirmed. CAM-
BRONNE is now proved to have exclaimed upon the
field of Waterloo, towards the close of that terrible
Sunday, the 18th of June, 1815—not once but twice
to have exclaimed, upon the second occasion his
chivalric words being caught up and repeated by the
four battalions of the Old Guard of Napoleon—" La
Garde meurt, et ne se rend pas" : "The Guard dies,
but does not surrender!" We have had so many
of these picturesque incidents demonstrated of late
years to be apocryphal that it is absolutely refresh-
ing to find one of them at length deliberately and
credibly authenticated.

It was only the other day that, immediately after
the publication of the closing volumes of Earl
STANHOPE'S admirable biography of WILLIAM
PITT, a stormy controversy arose as to whether the
words said to have been faintly articulated by the
great Minister upon his deathbed, a few minutes
prior to his dissolution, actually were or were not
spoken at all. The evidence adduced was, it will
be remembered, of the most conflicting character
possible. According to the old, time-honoured ver-
sion of the story, PITT breathed his last after
having sighed forth, " My country ; how I love
my country!" A. ..;•••‘•-1-.:-- .11 lu
XIMPIng with the prevailing simplicity and
dignity of PITT's character throughout life :
the exclamation being altogether too romantic
and melodramatic to have ever sprung, more
particularly at such a moment, from his lips.
The probability is that Lord STANHOPE'S revised
account is nearest to the truth—namely, the one
which now assures us that PITT'S last words were,
"My country ; how I leave my country !" An eja-
culation that it is perfectly conceivable PITT should
have uttered when he is said to have uttered it—
namely, just before the agonies of dissolution de-
prived him of speech, and just after he had been
stricken down upon his bed of death by the disas-
trous tidings of NAPOLEON'S great victory at Aus-
terlitz. Yet even now it is somewhat dubious
whether Mr. PITT ever said anything of the kind ;
and as a critic in the last number of Blackwood,
reasonably enough argues, at the very best the excla-
mation wf;s little less than heathenish in its way,
under the circumstances. The Christian statesman
'light, one would have hoped, have had other and
far more momentous subjects to think of, at such
an extremity, while trembling upon the verge
of the eternities.

Again and again, we believe the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON denied ever having uttered any words at
all like " Up Guards and at 'em !" as the signal for
the final advance towards the close of the great
battle of Waterloo. It has been asserted, as posi-
tively, in like manner, that the Abbe EDGWORTH,
who attended King Louis XVI. in 1'193 upon the
scaffold of the guillotine, asserted that he could lay
no claim to that sublime apostrophe attributed to
him in so many histories, that apostrophe said to
have been addressed by him at the last moment to
the ill-fated monarch then lying bound upon the
plank under the knife, " Son of St. Louis, ascend
to heaven !" According to the same inexorable
system of revising and correcting history, it is
by this time notorious to us all that " The
Death of Lord Chatham," as painted by COPLEY,
the father of Lord LYNDHURST, was no death at all
as it happened—the Great Earl, once the Great
Commoner, having expired, not at the close of his
last speech in the House of Lords, but weeks after-
wards in his own bedchamber. Very likely,
if We took in hand this same cynical
telescope and applied to our ear this same
unbelieving ear-trumpet, we should learn, among
other things, in
precisely the same way—That

it is true he is reported to haTc said it on his return
to France in 1814, It is only a Frenchman the
more!" That the vast majority of all the
mots of history, both ancient and modern,
are all quite fanciful—are all entirely and
absolutely imaginary ! Why, as a case in point, it
is only a very few years since, upon the publication
at last of the memoirs of General Count MoN T.llO-
- it turned out that the last syllables uttered by
NAPOLEON the Great, when he was dying at St.
Helena, were—ot, as we had all previously been led

to suppose from the coincidence of the accounts in
every one of the earlier narratives, " tete d'armee,"
&c. The authenticity of General MONTHOLON'S
description of the scene could not, of course, be for
one instant doubted, for he surely, if any one, knew
perfectly well what then and there occurred, what
syllables were then and there articulated. MONTHO-
LON'S was the hand that closed NAPOLEON'S eyes
in death, and that hand has written the detailed
description of the close of NAPOLEON'S life—tel-
ling us that the last word uttered by the lips of
NAPOLEON was the name of " JOSEPHINE !"

In effect, judging from the results produced by
these uncompromising labours of recent historical
and biographical critics, there is hardly a pic-
turesque incident recorded in the life of a great
man, hardly a happy saying that is reported to
have fallen from his lips, but what we are taught
to look upon with a suspicion as to its authenticity.
It is hardly less than refreshing, therefore we re-
p e at ,

a recorded Wate-
rloo, of N-
100, and a heroic cry like that said to have been
uttered by the lips of their chivalrous leader, CAM-
BRONE, finally and deliberately authenticated be-
yond the reach of all further denial or even doubt.
Elsewhere we give the official documents proving
this to have been done and said—documents that
have only just now made their appearance in the
columns of the Moniteur. It will be seen from
them that the evidence now adduced is that of an
old gentleman, 70 years of age, named DELEAU,
now (July 10, 1862) Deputy Mayor of Vicq, in, the
department of the Nord, then (June 18, 1815)
private in NAPOLEON'S Guard, and as such an eye-
witness of the incident, and an ear-witness of the
saying of CAMBRONE. The evidence of M. DELEAU
is given under his own hand, and his auto-
graph is followed by the signatures of the
Prefect of the Department of the Nord, of
Marshal M'MAHON, the Duke of Magenta, of
General MasslAT, the General of Division, and of
Colonel BOREL, the Marshal's Aide-de-Camp.
From the document itself—given by us as a histo-
rical curiosity in another part of our impression of
this evening—it will be seen that the memorable
answer given by CAMBRONE, the answer to the
demand of his Surrender, and that of his followers,
was uttered by him not once, but twice : with an
interval of fighting between the first demand and
answer, and the second, the reiterated demand, that
they should surrender, and the second, the reite-
rated, reply (then caught up and echoed by the lips
of the Old Guard, in chorus) La Garde .leurt, et
ne se rend pas, " The Guard dies, but does not
surrender !" Among the nobler incidents of war—
commanding our admiration—that, at least, can be
looked back to, and believed.

The Hon. Mrs. YELVERTON in Ireland, Miss
LONGWORTH in Scotland, has at least one consola-
tion, the verdict of the public. Whatever her
failings, whatever her departure from conventional
proprieties in the period commonly designated
courtship, they are all assigned by a generous and
sympathising public to their true cause, an over-
powering passion for a man whose own evidence of
his intentions every other man has read with dis-
gust and reprobation. If the feminine enthusiasm
of an ardent mind for a man who would have abused
it if he could, who, according to his own account,
did ultimately abuse it, carried her too far in manner
or language, the public can never forget the Major's
own evidence in a court of justice. It is said by
the other side that she was not a mere girl, but we
have yet to learn that a woman of high powers, of
genius we may say, is not often as much the victim
of the sentiments kindled by imagination at nine-
and-twenty as women generally are at nine-
teen. Indeed, we frankly acknowledge that
so, weakly perhaps, do we share the popu-
lar feeling that we find it not easy to maintain
the judicial impartiality at which a journalist
should aim.
The Scotch judge apparently has no such diffi-
culty. His sympathies are, to judge by his long
note on his decision, all the other way. Of course
his integrity as a judge is above all suspicion, but
Scotch judges are as liable to predominating impres-
sions, and to unconscious bias, as other men, and
most unaccountably to Englishmen and Irishmen.
Lord ARDMILLAN throughout his long note seems
to see everything in the light most favourable to
the Major, and most unfavourable to the victim of
his conduct. It is impossible, while reading his
note, not to feel ourselves in the hands of an advo-

cate of Major YELVERTON'S cause, for the judge
cannot defend the Major himself, and in those
of an opponent of Mrs. YELVERTON. We may
be quite confident the fact was not so, yet if we

were at liberty to suppose unconscious motives, we
should say the judge bad as much difficulty in
forgetting the Major's connection with the peerage,
and his marriage with the widow of an eminent and
not penniless Scotch professor, as we should have in
repressing sympathy with a deeply wronged and
interesting woman.

His Lordship, we have no doubt, weighed the
evidence, so far as intention went, with the utmost
impartiality; yet it perplexes us to conceive what
induced him in every case of conflicting statement
to lay so much more stress on the major's testimony
than on that of his wife—for wife we must call her.
He had as much at steke as a man, as she had as a
woman, to bias his representations, and no one will
contend that his character gave his explanations
and statements more claim to credence than her's.
We do not remember that in the whole course of
her examination, or in any evidence bearing on her
veracity, she has been convicted of any approach
to a falsehood. While in regard to the major, we
have his own assertion, that at the altar of GOD,
in a house of religious worship, he solemnly
used words which, he says, he knew at the
time to be untrue. With this acknowledged
fact against him, with nothing parallel against her,
we 'should be inclined to reverse Lord ARDMIL-
LAN'S course. He, generally, appears to accept
the Major's uncorroborated statements—while he,
on the other hand, appears to suspect those of his
wife unless corroborated. Yet the judge says of
this man, whose word he so readily takes—" That
the words he uttered at the altar were intentionally
untrue, and that the whole proceeding in the
chapel was an empty form and a mere mockery."
The judge acknowledged that it was sad that the
plea could be maintained, that the marriage by the
Catholic priest should be null and void—and sadder
still that " there was too much reason for believing
that the plea was founded in fact." Yet he easily
believes the man who confesses to uttering un4

its validity turns on the question whether the Major
was a Roman CatholiC twelvemonths prior to that
marriage, we fear the Irish verdict on this point
cannot stand. The Irish judges, in discussing
the exceptions on Monday, seemed to have
no doubt on that point, They had no
power to disturb the verdict of the jury on a
matter of fact, but it was agreed that professing
himself, even to the priest, a Protestant Catholic,
he could not be understood, even then, to be a Catho-
lic) in the sense of the statute, but rather to use
language proving the very re-verse. On this point
the Irish Chief Justice admitted that he had not
directed the jury.
The iniquity of the law which makes mixed mai
riages null and void is denied by no one—even the
judges on the bench cannot conceal their regret that
such an infamous statute should still survive.
Judging by the conduct of the House of Commons,
under the ecclesiastical leadership of Mr. DISRAELI,
it is likely to survive long enough, Toryism having
staked its existence on the perpetuation of bigoted
laws and Church abuses. The law, however, is,
that unless Major YELVERTON had been a Catholic
twelve months prior to the marriage on the 15th of
August, 1857, by Mr. MoorEY, the Catholic priest,
all the Major's "intentional untruths" uttered to-
wards .the Most High will not make him the legal
husband of the woman he then engaged to take as
his wife. It would not hinder him from casting
off' the woman who was his wife in the
sight of GOD, and marrying another and richer
woman, if one could be found to unite herself, ac-
cording to the laws of man, with a husband who
was another's by the laws of GOD. Doubtless,
however, the Major took good care that the subject
of his second marriage should have no idea of the
solemnly binding contract into which he had en-
tered with the first.

Every one will by this time have made up their
minds on the moral position of the two parties—and
few, we imagine, will doubt that, whatever the
legal result—which must be finally settled in Eng-
land—the lady who was Miss LONGWORTH is
morally and religiously the true Mrs. YELVERTON.
We apprehend all, in reality, will turn upon the
Scotch marriage. As things now stand, the same
lady is Miss LONGWORTH in Scotland and Mrs.
YELTERTON in Ireland. Each party will of course
appeal, and we see little chance of the Irish mar-
riage being maintained under the existing statute.
In Scotland, if Lord ARDMILLAN be right, she will
have little chance also there ; and then, probably,
the English House of Lords will have to review the
whole proceedings. One common mistake has
been dispelled by Lord ARDMILLAN'S statement of
the Scottish law. It was a common notion that the
most thoughtless expressions relating to marriage
addressed to a woman, might, if accepted by her,
constitute a valid engagement. The judge assures
us that such is not the case. The law requires
"sufficient proof of mutual consent deliberately
expressed." It has been laid down that "it must
be a deliberate and genuine matrimonial consent.
It must not be a matter of mere sport or jest ; it
must not be a mere colour for serving some non-
matrimonial purpose ; or a cover and blind to con-
ceal something which the parties themselves truly
know not to be matrimony." The only regular mode
of giving such consent is in facie ecclesiae; but
several other modes are a legal marriage—as Ist.
Marriage by the interchange of consent, depnesenti.
2dly. Marriage by promise, subsequente copula.
3dly. Marriage by cohabitation as husband and
wife, and habit and repute. On the alleged mar-
riage by these modes, Mrs. YELVERTON of Ireland,
Miss LONGWORTH, of Scotland, will now appeal to
a higher Scottish Cmirt.

A good citizen is this day given to London in
the person of Mr. PEABODY. Yesterday a good
coroner was awarded to Middlesex, in the person
of Dr_ LANKESTER. Of the former gentleman
little need be said. His late princely benefaction to
the very poor in this metropolis speaks for itself,
and for himself also most eloquently. It explains
the reason why our ancient municipality has been
eager to do honour to itself by honouring him in
the best way at its command, namely, by the presen-
tation to him of that mark at once of respect and
admiration which the City of London is
always so ready to award to great public
merit—the symbolical Freedom of the City
of London. Nor is it that the mercantile Men
of this vast, and wealthy, and populous capital of
the, British Empire, have but now awakened to the
recognition thus tardily, as it were but yesterday,
of the merit of this distinguished Merchant Prince
now (to-day) numbered among its citizens. Mr.
PEABODY has been domiciled here in England,
has been known long and well for years and years
past here in London, and so living among us, has
earned all this while, by the sheer force
of the simple probity of his career, the respect of all
ranks and classes during the interval of his sojourn
amongst us since his arrival here long ago as a
stranger from the opposite shores of the Atlantic.
His recent gift to the very destitute in the capital
of the land of his adoption, Mr. PEABODY himself
quite manifestly, and indeed avowedly, designed as
a token of his gratitude to Heaven, and of his good-
will to his fellow-men, for all the happy fortune that
has attended him throughout his career in Eng-
land. The City of London, in its turn has this day
endeavoured to evidence, by the presentation of its
Freedom to Mr. FEABODY, at once its admiration
for his act and its respect for his character.
As to the newly elected Coroner of the County
of Middlesex, we cannot ourselves but think, as we
certainly must all of us hope, that a better selection
could hardly have been made than has been
made in the nomination to that post of Dr.LANKES-
TER. In succeeding to this office, a man as eminent
as the late Mr. WAKLEY, the new Coroner will
necessarily have to pass through the ordeal of
many a searching comparison with that distin-
guished predecessor." That ordeal we can only hope
he will contrive to pass through with credit to his
own advancing reputation.

Tuesday's discussion on our Chinese policy was
needed, in order to call public attention to its very
possible dangers, and to make the Government
watchful. We have sixteen treaty ports in the
Empire; and the system to be adopted is, to defend
those ports. Their defence is supposed to necessi-
tate keeping off all marauders from a distance of
thirty miles round them; and, as the Taepings
seem at last to have fairly established their cha-
racter as land pirates, they must be kept off too.
Indeed, they are, at present, the only commercial
enemies of the ports; and they are so, not through
any malice against foreigners, for they seem willing
to have free intercourse with them, but in the same
sense as locusts are the enemies of the agricul-
hmeayindteasitnrsoycoamnmd
enaselves,
houses, agricultural produce, everything is eater-
gt'ojraisltlst•haTt
minated or destroyed by them. The argument is,
edrecev.ourm\evnhetrhever they
it' we allow such marauders as these near our treaty
ports we might as well not have access to the ports
at all.

On the other hand, we are told that our defend-
ing certain cities, and aiding the Imperialists to do
it, is taking part in a Chinese war. That doing

this is committing us to a cost of which no one can
see the limit ; and Mr. WHITE very properly asks,
who is to pay for this ? Ships, crews, guns, and
ammunition cost something handsome. Is the
Chinese Exchequer, or our own, to bear this charge?
Lord PALMERSTON omitted to notice this serious
part of the business ; yet -English taxpayers will
certainly like to know the truth respecting it. Our
whole commerce with China will never pay for aid-
ing the Tartar Government to put down the Taeping
insurrection ; nor have we any reputation at stake
in the matter. It will evidently require great
tact on the part of our commanders, to go se far as
to preserve a large tract of country for the Im-
perialists against the Taepings, and vet to ovoid
complicity in the civil war. It would probably
be well for us now if so enlightened a man as
Prince A. UNG were made the virtual Emperor of
ld Tartar Government obviously per-
Chi na, as the CI
mite; the only present chance of order and decent
Government, but we ought most resolutely to
avoid all entanglement
With the internal quar-
rels of the Empire.
We are inclined to think that Mt:. WHITE, whose
Chinese information on commercial witters must
be superior to that of any man in the home, was
right in what he aimed at by his motion. In words
it was unobjectionable, even to Lord PALMERSTON ;
but it seemed to convey a censure on past conduct,
to resolve that her MAJESTY'S Government should
" direct the British authorities and commanders in
China to avoid intervention beyond what might be
absolutely necessary." The Government was not
disposed to admit the implication that there had
been unnecessary intervention, which certainly was
the opinion of Mr. WHITE and Mr. COBDEN, as
well as of the out-and-out apologist for the Tae-
pings, Colonel SYKES. It is not easy to say, here,
whether our authorities went too far in aiding the
Imperialists, but it is well they should be aware
that we cannot afford to be drawn into another waz,
to cost ns another £7,000,000, merely by the over
zeal of our residents in China. We have had pain-
ful experience that this is but too possible, both in
the miserable affair of the lorcha and the still worse
managed business of Mr. BRUCE at the mouth of
the Peiho. The debate of Tuesday night will have
the effect of making both Lord PALMERSTON and
our authorities in China more careful ; and we all
feel that this is highly necessary. Our tea and silk
trade with China is very valuable doubtless, but we
have bought it enormously dear, especially if, as so
many who ought to know believe, we might have
had all the trade without any of the wars.

NAPOLEON'S OLD GUARD.

The Monileur publishes the following:—

" The Minister of the Interior has just requested the Pre-
fect of the Department ..."`f the Nord, on the subject of a nar-
rative of the battle of Watetilw published lately in different
olemnity to a historical journals, to proceed with some bi
in-
vestigation, in presence of one of :he few surviving wit-
nesses of one of the most glorious incide,-its of that day. We
publish the proses-verbal of the inquiry,"
The subjoined is the minute alluded to
Lille, JuOe 13.

" We, the Prefect of the Nord, Sec. A recent article of
the Esprit Public, inserted in several other journals, re-
lating that Antoine-Joseph Deleau, deputy-mayor of the
commune of Vicq, arrondissement of Valenciennes, for-
merly a soldier in the Imperial Guard, had preserved a
perfect remembrance of the memorable incidents in
which he took part at the battle of Waterloo, and
of the words attributed to Cambronne, and his Excellency
the Minister of the Interior having charged us, by a letter
of the 27th of June, to investigate the question, we
summoned before us the said Deleau, born at Vicq the 2d
of April, 1792. His military recollections appeared to be
of the greatest precision, and bearing the impress of equal
calm and fidelity. We requested Deleau to proceed with us
to the Cabinet of his Excellency Marshal de M'Mahon,
Duke de Magenta, at his head-quarters at Lille, where were
present General Maissiat, commander of the 3d Military
ivision, and Colonel Borel, first aide-de•-camp to the Mar-
shal. Deleau expressed himself in the following terms :
•it was at Waterloo in the square of the Guard, and, in
consequence of my tall stature, in the first rank. I be-
longed to the Young Guard, being only 23 years of age,but,
as is well known, the Young Guard had been then called
upon to fill up the ranks of the old. The English artillery
was sweeping us down, and we were replying at each dis-
charge by volleys of musketry, less and less well sustained.
Between two discharges the English General cried out to us,
' Grenadiers, surrender General Cambronne replied (I
heard him perfectly well, as well as all my comrades), • The
Guard dies, and does not surrender I" Fire !' was the
answer of the English General. We closed up the square,
and replied with our muskets. Grenadiers, surrender I
You shall be treated as the first soldiers in the world l' re-
peated the English General. The Guard dies, and does not
surrender,' again replied Cambronne, and all along the line
the officers and soldiers repeated with him, ' The Guard
dies, and deem not surrender I remember perfectly well
having said it, like the-rest. We received a fresh volley,
and replied by our own. Surrender, Grenadiers—surrender'
cries in amass the English, who surrounded us on all sides.
Cambronne replied to this last summons by a movement of
anger, accompanied by words which I did not hear, as at
that moment a ball carried away my bearskin hat, knocking
me on a heap of dead. I thus declare to have heard re-
peated twice by Cambronne the words The Guard dies,
and does not surrender I' and not to have heard ijm say
anything else.

historical fact of such importance, and the honottrable cha-
racter of the witness, have consequently determined ne to

Joseph Deleau has signed with us.

REVIEW AT ALDERSHOTT.—Yesterday the troops
at Aldershot had a field-day in the presence of Marshal
M'Mahon, Duke of Magenta, and his staff, and several other
distinguished French visitors. The entire division, under
the command of Lieutenant-General Sir J. L. Pennefather,
K.C.8., turned out at one o'clock, and at half-past one took
up a position in the Long Valley. Shortly afterwards the
visitors and staff stationed themselves at the saluting point.
, to witness the marching past, at the conclusion of which
Isome splendid field manoeuvres took place. The enemy was
supposed to be in possession of the camp and barracks, and
the division an opposing force attempting to dislodge
them. For this purpose the Artillery formed up on Long-
hill and Pyestock-iidge, and opened a tremendous can-
nonade, under cover of which the infantry, supported on
both flanks by cavalry, advanced in line. No twithstandir g
this vigorous movement, so strongly posted was the sup-
positious enemy that the division met with several repulses
which were looked upon as serious, but at length suc-
ceeded in turning his left flank, finally driving him over
the canal in complete disorder. Some splendid charges
were made by the cavalry during the manoeuvres—one by
the Ist Life Guards causing several men to be unhorsed,
luckily without serious injury. The troops on the field
were the Ist Life Guards, 6th Dragoon Guards, 13th Hus-
sars, 9th Lancers, 12th Lancers, 16th Lancers, 13 infantry
regiments, three batteries of Royal Horse Artillery, four
field batteries, Mounted Engineers and Pontoon Train, and
two battalions of the Military Train, The Duke was in
all parts of the field du ring the mimic engagement, and
seemed greatly to admire the manner in which the troops
were handled. There was a large number of spectators
present.

DEFEAT OF THE FEDERALS
NEAR. RICHMOND.
(PER ETNA, BY TELEGRAPH TO CAPE RACE AND
FRO Pa QUEENSTOWN.)
NEW YORK, JUNE 30 (Evening).
On the 26th inst . the Confederates, having been
reinforced by Stone wall Jackson, attacked the right
wing of the Federa 1 army before Richmond with
heavy force.
Severe fighting continued during two days, with
heavy loss on both sides.
The Federals, by order of General Welellan, re-
ceded several miles, hotly pursued by the Confede-
rates. The Federals then made a stand, and held

their position.
The Federals are stated to have retreated for a
strategic purpose.
No official intelligence has yet been received.
The fighting probably continues.
The telegraphic communication has been inter-
rupted.

Information obtained from reliable sources leads
to the belief that General Burnside was to attack
the Confederate defences near Richmond on the
28th inst.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Money slightly firmer. Gold steady. Exchange
on London, bankers' bills, 121, firm. Stocks

irregular.
Cotton very firm. Provisions dull and unchanged.

(LATEST BY TELEGRAPH TO CAPE RACE.)

JULY 1, MORNING.

Fresh reports have been received of the late
fight before Richmond, according to which Gene-
ral 111‘Clellan has contracted his lines and massed
his troops between the Chickahominy and James
Rivers. The latter constitutes his base of ope-
rations.

White House has been abandoned, and the right
wing of M'Clellan's army has been drawn across the
Chickahominy.

On the 27th instant the Confederates made an
attack on the right wing of the Federals. The divi-
sion of Stonewall Jackson attacked M'Clellan's
division of reserves on the extreme right. After a
fight of three hours Jackson was repulsed. The
Confederates then made several attacks on the
Federal right wing, and severe fighting ensued.
General M'Clellan then commenced the strategic
movements for which he had been preparing ; his
whole right wing fell back, and crossed the south
side of the Chickahominy in rear of his left wing.
He afterwards made for James River.

The evacuation of White House was completed
on Saturday afternoon, the Federals carrying off
all their material.

The attack of Vicksburg by the Federal fleet in

force is imminent.
