FOREIGN RELATIONS.

In regard to the expedition fitting out to
operate against Mexico, our ministers at
London and Paris assert positively that
neither OF these governments have entered
into arrangements with Spain to join in the
alleged expedition.
The reply to the communication of Sec,
Rotary Seward which was addressed some
time ago to those governments, respecting
the designs of those powers, has not yet
been received.
Our government has all along been
assured, by both England and France, that
they had no object in their interference in
Mexican affairs, other than protect their
citizens. and obtain reparation for outrages
perpetrated upon them, and which are of
long stanGing.

SUSPECTED SPIES IN OUR CAMP-AN.
OTHER PREDICTION OF SEWARD.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The special
dispatch to the Tribune says: Two or three
officers prominent in the volunteer service
are suspected of giving information of our
movements to the enemy. A New York
Colonel now under arrest for insubordina.
tion is one of them.
Only yesterday MIR. Seward assured q
member of the diplomatic body that the
little affair of the Southern instruction
would blow over within three months, and
the ports would be all opened and peace
and prosperity reign.
Fifteen of the New York 22d went
scouting yesterday, and advanced nearly to
Fairfax Court House. They saw about
half a regiment of rebels and no more.
They were at first mistaken by the inhabi'
tants for southern soldiers, and were enlight-
ened as to the plans of the rebels so far as
known to the citizens.
1t was stated that Beauregard and john
son intended to make no stand this side of
Centreville, on the heights Of which, how
ever, if followed there, they would oppose
the Union forces for awhile, but when
pressed would withdraw to their old posi-
tons beyond Bull Run. They report no
distractions or barricades on the way.
1t is certain that the rebels have a very
small, if any, force at Leesburg, and are
evacuating it altogether, as fast as possible.
The same is true of Fairfax Court House,
as it is established by reconnaissance. If
there is any line of defence beyond the old
one it extends toward Acquia creek.
The theory that the rebels have fallen
upon the Rappahanuock is untenable.
The court martial in the case of Colonel
Miles meets tomorrow at Alexandria. His
unqualified acquittal is beyond doubt.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE FRED
RICKSTOWN BATTLE.


RICKSTOWN BATTLE.
Special to St. Louis Republican.
parties who witnessed the fight at Fred
rickstown yesterday, We gather full particu-
lars.
Col. Carlin with portions OF 2lst, 33d
and 38th Illinois regiments, Sth Wisconsin,
and Maj. Schofeld's battery had reached
Fredrickstown at 9 o'clock in the morning
and at l P. M. was joined by the 18th,
18th and 10th Ills, and 400 cavalry from
Cape Girardeau, they then advanced in pur-
suit of the rebels under JEFF. Thompson and
Col. Lowe, who had left the place "a hours
before, and were reported to be rapidly re.
treating South, but about mile from town
they discovered the entire force of the en-.
envy drawn up in line of battle, partly
posted in an open field and partly in the
adjacent woods, with iron Is Founders
we'll planted in their front Maj. SchofeId
Immediately opened fire and at the fourth
round silenced one of the rebels guns. The
engagement then became general and lasted
about two hours, but alter the first half
took 10 the woods, closely followed by both
our infantry and cavalry. Before leaving
the field, the rebel Col. Lowe was shot in
the head and instantly killed. Maj. Gavett
received five bullets while leading charge
thirty yards in advance of his command.
Capt. Higham was killed 10 the same
charge. Our loss is reported five killed and
three mortally wounded and twenty slight
" wounded. Enemy's loss not ascertained
but supposed to be considerable. At last
accounts from the rebels they were in full
retreat with their baggage train, and our
troops IN pursuit. -.

soldiers put to death at Harper's Ferry by
slow and cruel process, such as stabbing
them In various parts of the body with
small bayonets.
The rebels were aided in these acts by q
Presbyterian clergyman Of Harpers Ferry,
now residing at Shepardstown. She saw
about one hundred and fifty dead rebels.
DR.. S. III. Bradley, formerly of New
York, who was at Bull Run as surgeon of
the I'd Alabama regiment, has arrived at
Washington. He attempted to escape the
day of the battle, but was detected and sent
to Montgomery, where he was kept con-
fined until September 25th, VIII he was
released and went to New Orleans en- route
North.
At New Orleans guns had been mounted
on the Custom House and levee, and on
such buildings as seemed strong enough. A
number OF gun5oats had been placed on
Lake Pontcbartrain to repel attacks in that
direction.
Planters are dissatisfied with the refusal
of the rebel Government to allow cotton
access to the market.
JEFF. THOMPSON AND LOWE ROUTED
LOWE KILLED.
PILOT KNOB, Oct. 22.-The following
dispatch was received here this morning
and forwarded to headquarters at st. Louis:

thousand. Their loss was heavy, ours small,
and confined principally to the First India
ma Cavalry.
Lowe, the rebel leader, was killed.
Major Govelt and Captain Hyman, of
the Indiana Cavalry, were killed 10 a
charge on battery.
The command of Col. Plummer referred
to above was on Friday morning last Or
dered forward by Gen. Grant from Cape

at McCabell, Caldwell county. Four hum
dred of the rebel troops at Cameron were
ready to march to their rescue. When the

A despatch was received to day from
General Rosecrans, dated Camp 1'ompkins,
near Gauley Bridge, where be has been en-
camped for some time. He reports every
thing quiet. The rebels, it appears, are
falling hack from their position, and from
the best information which can be obtained
of their movements, they are concentrating
in very large force below it.

hail fell upon and around the Manassas,
during which her machinery became
deranged. The Tuscarora and the Watson
came up with five barges which had been
cut loose and set adrift on the stream.
When morning came our feet commenced
to pursue the retreating enemy, and heavy
cannonading began which lasted until eight
O'Clock.
Several shots struck the Richmond
Shots from the Yankees were badly aimed,
as they did not touch one Of our vessels.
When the firing ended the feet returned to
the city with the prize schooner Joseph H..
Toone, loaded with coal, and which had been
deserted during the night.
A large quantity of lumber, which had
been intended for the construction of forti.
fication at the head of the Passes, was
burned.
The vessel sunk was not the Preble, but
the Vincennes. Three vessels of our ezpe-
dition arrived on Saturday night.
THE NASHVILLE--ESCAPE TO FORT
PICKENS.
The Richmond Enquirer says the Nash
vile is still in Charleston harbOr, and that
Messrs. Mason and Slidell did not sail in
that vessel.
A Pensacola dispatch of the 18th, says a
party consisting of Capt. Butler and wife,
MIR. backward and wife, Mr.. Gillett and
others, had escaped to Fort Pickens.
FORTY VESSELS PASS THE BATTERIES.
The Reliance went down to join the dotilIa
last night, and the Robert Leslie started
thither to day noon. Some forty vessels
went down yesterday, and safely passed the
rebel batteries. A large number of shots
were fired at them, but none struck.
FLOATING ERIES-D1SCIPLINE OF
THE TROOPS.
1t is believed the armed steamer or fioate
ing battery now building after the Ericsson
plan, will be completed long before the
other two are finished. The work upon it
being of less magnitude than calculated, a
large surplus from the sum appropriated by
Congress tor the purpose remains.
Secretary Cameron returned this morn
ing from his visit West. The good disci.
plinary order OF our troops in their recent
movements, affords subject for military
praise.

NAVIGATION OF THE POTOMAC.

The Herald's dispatch states that the
Government sent down the Potomac to-
night, two steam tugs for the purpose of
bringing up number of vessels loaded with
Government stores. They intend to pass
the rebel batteries in the night.
The Navy Department to day notified
the War Department, and also number of
gentlemen who now have vessels below the
batteries and are afraid to return up, that
after tomorrow they will be able to bring
up all the vessels. How it is to be done
the Department does not state.

RUMOR CONTRADICTED.

The Worlds despatch says that rumors
have prevailed that Fairfax has been evac.
uated and it is so announced 10 this even
ing's Star, but information from the ad-
vanced lines shows it to be incorrect.
On the contrary, the indications are that
the rebels are in large force in the rear of
Fairfax, and are reinforcing the rebel army
at Leesburg.

New YoRK, Oct. 21.-The Tribune says
of the various stories afoat regarding Free
mont's command: We know this to be
true, that Secretary Cameron took out
with him to Missouri full discretionary
power to supercede Gen. Fremont and turn
over the command of his army to Gen.
Hunter, and that be did not see fit to ex.
ercise that power. AL beyond this is Idle
speculation.

1t is remarkable fact thus far that the
troops OF neither army have occupied the
soil OF Mount Vernon. unless it has taken
place within few days. A general watch.
fulness has been kept upon the place by our

teries there they will be repulsed by Me.

ed by guard of honor composed of troops
that have distinguished themselves.

ton had been received at Sgel's camp, that
General Price broke up his camp in Cedar
county, where he arrived last Sunday week,
and where it was said he would stand and
give battle, and continued his retreat to-
wards the Arkansas line.
